ITunes / iPod randomly changes the "Volume Adjustment" setting to -100%

This is a strange, unnerving problem I've run into recently. I hope someone can help!
A few (5% or so?) of my song files were nearly inaudible after transferring them to my iPod - even though they sounded fine before the move. I finally (after deleting many good files) discovered that the "Volume Adjustment" setting on these files was somehow moved all the way down to -100%. Does anyone know how or why this might be happening?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The same thing goes for the EQ Preset setting.

If you want the shuffle to be always visible in Windows (outside of iTunes), you need to Enable disk use.
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, select the Summary tab. You should see a checkbox that says Enable disk use. Check it and click Apply.
NOTE: If disk use is enabled, you have to Eject the shuffle in iTunes, BEFORE you physically disconnect it. If disk use is NOT enabled, you can disconnect the shuffle at any time, as long as iTunes is not doing something with it at that moment (such as syncing); the shuffle's light will then be blinking (to indicate DO NOT DISCONNECT).
So, unless you want to use the shuffle like a USB flash drive (carry random files on it), you may want to NOT Enable disk use.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall for the network problem.
Also for the original problem try the following if Ana's suggestions does not work
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Same problem here on my 4s: Control center music controls do not work.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

External volume buttons stopped changing the volume

I've been using my iPhone 3G without incident since the summer, but all of a sudden in the last couple of days (I guess since the most recent firmware update), the side volume buttons have stopped changing the volume - ringer, speaker, anything. If I push the up or down volume control, the volume indicator window flashes up as normal, it shows my current volume level, then it raises the volume level (both the displayed level and the actual sound coming out of the phone) for about a tenth of a second, then it goes back to the previous level. I can change the volume using any of the normal touchpad controls, only the side buttons don't work.
Is this simply a setting that I switched on by accident - a volume lock that I don't know about? I can't seem to find anything in my settings, but would really appreciate any insight into what's going on.
Many thanks,
--Chris

Hello TheDes,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
Since you can see the volume changing when you use the volume button, it is relatively unlikely that it is a hardware issue. If it was a physical switch failure, the window wouldn't appear and show the change even briefly. It is more likely a software-based issue, such as a data file or preference file on the iPhone that is not updating properly.
If you're using a case on the iPhone, remove the case and test.
Try resetting the iPhone by holding down both the sleep/power button and the home button together until you see the Apple logo (ignore the "Slide to Power Off" prompt). Test.
If the reset does not resolve, you may need to backup and restore the iPhone:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Before connecting the iPhone, launch iTunes.
From the Edit Menu (Windows) or the iTunes Menu (Mac) select Preferences
Select the Devices tab or icon.
Put a check mark in the "Disable Automatic Syncing for iPods and iPhones" box.
OK the Preferences window.
Connect the iPhone.
If you have music or APPs that you have not synced to iTunes, choose "Transfer Purchases from xxxxxiPhone" from the File Menu to backup purchased content to iTunes.
Right-click (or control-click) the iPhone under Devices in the left column of iTunes and choose "Backup" to create a fresh backup of the iPhone.
After the backup is complete, in the Summary tab of the iPhone, click on the Restore button.
At the end of the restore process, choose to setup as a new phone.
For testing, do not sync any Applications to the iPhone (you can sync them back later).
Test.
If the issue is resolved, you can sync your data back to the iPhone.
You can also right-click the iPhone and choose "Restore from backup," but if the issue was caused by some data on the iPhone that was backed up, the issue may return when you sync you backup data to the iPhone.
If you normally sync your iPhone automatically, you can uncheck the box that disables automatic syncing mentioned above.
Hope that helps,
Charles H.

Can I change the volume of songs in a playlist without permanently changing file?

I'm making playlists and sometimes the songs have a very different volume. It doesn't matter when you play a whole album but the contrast of loud and quiet in a playlist can be jarring.
If I burn the playlist to a disk I can apply the "Soundcheck" that helps. But what can I do if I just play off my computer?
I don't want permanantly to change the volumes because then the songs would sound funny when played out of the playlist.
Any easy solutions?
I'm using iTunes 10.6.1 on an iMac running OS X 10.6.8
Thanks

Any easy solutions?
No. You can't have a "special" volume adjustment for use in a playlist.

I can't change the volume for some of my musics

Hi it's me again :/
Everything is in the title ! I can change the volume of each podcast I download, and some of my musics. But for some other musics, I can't do anything about that, the ipod plays at one level volume only.
Do you know if it's somehow related to the basic extension (.mp3, .wav, .wmv ...) ?
I tought Itunes converts music formats if it's necessary but maybe I have to be careful with this ? I can't really pinpoint the problem because I haven't my pc with me for a while now (itunes isn't installed in the computers of university).
Thanks a lot for any help

The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an Apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

I can't change the volume of the background music in my project even if I put it to 0%

So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
Please help!

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999). So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them? This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
Then exit iTunes and open it up again. Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match). If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

How do I change the volume for a single midi instrument in GarageBand 10? Every time I move the volume, it moves back!

Every time I move the volume, it moves back!
Check, if you have a volume automation set on the software instrument track.
If the track volume automation curve is enabled, the volume slider for the track will move with the automation curve.
Click the automation curves disclosure triangle in the track header and disable the volume automation.

Can you change the volume display at bottom of screen to the song time instead?

I have just bought a new Ipod Nano and really like it! The only problem I'm having is when playing songs the bottom of the screen shows the volume level rather than how far it is through the song in time (like the old nanos used to show). I find it really annoying not knowing at a quick glance how much more of a song is left to play.
I know this info is displayed by double tapping the screen (although it is only shown temporarily). Is there a way of changing the volume level icon at the bottom of the screen to display the song time instead?
Thanks in advance.

There is not. You can let Apple know how you feel about it using the form on this page.
