ITunes volume slider automatically sets itself back to 0

Hi
I have a very strange problem since yesterday.
When launching iTunes I get a warning message saying that my volume is set to 0 so I won't hear anything. When I try to raise the volume, it sets itself back to zero as soon as I let the mouse button go. I have tried setting it to different levels, no luck, it immediately sets itself back to 0.
I am not using any remote speakers or things like that...
Does anyone have any idea?
Many thanks in advance

No I checked that.
After several reboots the issue fixed itself. I don't know how but it's working again.
Thanks for helping out though

Even though I set "Use custom settings for history" when I close the window and recheck it has set itself back to "Rember History"..why?

I am having trouble getting the settings to stay and can't figure out why...no matter what I do it just resets every time back to the
"Remember History" and it won't save passwords on some of my sites.

Any way to map the remotes volume buttons to iTunes' volume slider?

The reason I ask is I feed a USB audio device (DAC) and the volume buttons on the remote controls the volume to the iMac's internal speakers. I've got all audio outputs set to the USB device. I'd like the volume buttons to control the volume level to this USB device. Is this possible?
Thanks.

Bump!
I think that as an external audio source, the Mac's volume controls (and hence the remote) are disabled. I'm using a digital cable from the Macs 'headphone' port to an external amp and I also cannot use the remote to change the volume. However, using a normal cable works...
Check by looking at the Output tab of the Sound section of System Preferences and see if the volume options are disabled.
If they are, then sorry, but I don't know of a fix.

Iphone volume slider has disappeared

The volume slider on my iphone has disappeared and it wont play music from itunes, apps, videos or anything else I've tried. I have tried using the external volume controls on the side and its not on silent. I have also tried resetting a couple of times but this hasn't helped.

I had the same problem. My iPhone recognizes that it is connected to a music dock and the phone speaker won’t work.
It’s definitely a hardware problem APPLE could have solved by software. With that problem when using VIBER you can select the sound output either to music dock, earpiece, or phone speaker. APPLE just needed to implement the same in the phone SETTING.
So how to solve without APPLE support? (Getting APPLE support is best but in my case the nearest APPLE store is hundreds of kilometers from my residence, so not worth enough). First I cleaned the connector pins and put a silicon dust cap (with two tongues) which more or less squeezes the inner connector pins and the volume slider and sound was back. When I remove the cap for charging the volume slider and sound disappear again (not immediately but sooner or later).
Since whether connected to a music dock or not is recognized by the resistance between two pins on the connector, for me it seems that the cap made the resistance go to infinity which was close to the dock connection value without (why, I have no idea, the air moisture?).

Option to disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers?

I have noticed that with iTunes 10, the option to disable the volume control for remote speakers seems to have disappeared from Preferences>Devices. If you click the "?" button, the help window gives an explanation of what its for but the option to check/uncheck it clearly isn't there. Since iTunes 10, streaming my music from my iMac to my Denon receiver via Airtunes/Airplay with an Airport Express has been disappointing. The volume is far too low. With version 9 and every version prior, the volume control option was always there in preferences and I always had it disabled; music came through loud and clear but since this option appears to no longer exist, the volume through the Denon receiver fails to impress, even with the iTunes volume slider at max.
Anyone else noticed steaming volume too low? If so, agree that it's a bug?

I wholeheartedly agree with "I also used to disable the volume control to reduce the amount that my computer interferes with the sound before it gets to the external DAC." There is no reason why Apple shouldn't restore this important setting option as the volume control does negatively affect sound quality in a high-end set-up and we'd rather not just take their word for it that the volume control's maximum setting is the same as disabling it. Why does the volume slider change the output level even when using the Airport Express' digital output? It shouldn't, and it seems the sound is now being force sent through a stupid digital volume control for no good reason. If for no other reason the "disable" option should be restored to avoid inadvertent volume changes via the Remote app for iPod Touch and iPhone. Strangely as compared to several other posts here, my perceived volume level now seems louder than before, not softer as others are reporting. People that are serious about sound quality do not want iTunes or AirPlay (formerly AirTunes) to manipulate the volume level or any other aspect of the sound at all ever, as it can't help but only hurt. I also thought the "disable" setting was available in the Airport Utility previously, but it's vanished from there too.

Turn off sound effects for iTunes volume changes?

I've started getting audible squirt-noises each time I use the F9 or F10 or F11 keys to raise or lower iTunes volume. How I go back silent changes?
I've checked iTunes help and Googled a few things and unchecked all the sound effects in Apple System Preferences but no luck. I want to keep using the keys, not the slider.
Thank you
Don

Did you mean to ask this in the Tiger OS forum? Your computer information says you are running Leopard. I can request this post be moved to the correct forum.
In Tiger you can toggle "play feedback when volume is changed" in the System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects preference pane.

How can I re-enable the volume slider?

Sometimes I want to play around with the volume curve, and sometimes that doesn't work out or isn't needed anymore. But when I delete all volume curve points (i.e. click left of the curve, press backspace) the volume slider doesn't come back. It seems like a bug, anybody know a workaround?

its not a bug. click on the little upside down triangle just to the left of the volume knob. after you click on the triangle the track volume will appear with a rectangular blue box click on that to turn off the volume curves.
By the way if you on the words track volume the track pan will also appear.

Date set itself to sunday december 31 2000

Hi,
I have the date set to automatically set itself but for some reason the date set itself to sunday december 31 2000.
I realize I can change it manually but I would like it to set itself automatically.
thanks,
Brandon

That means your PRAM battery is most likely dead. It maintains settings such as Time and Date.
Try posting this in the MacBookPro power and battery forum. I know Tower Mac battery info but am not well versed on portable Mac's PRAM batteries. I do know it is separate from your main battery.

How do I control itunes volume with my Apple Remote?

Hey,
I have been using the Apple remote for a while now, but recently i have got a airplay device, for which the volume from the mac can be controlled only by the itunes volume slider and not the mac volume.
can someone please guide as to how i can change the itunes volume with the remote?

I don't know how to do it with the actual silver Apple Remote. However with the Remote app on you phone then the volume control is at the bottom just like normal. When you use the Airplay symbol to send the content to the airplay device say Apple TV you can use the volume slider to control the volume.

ITunes volume changes itself / Can't Force Quit.

My iTunes volume changed itself to a third of the way up, and now I can't change it. If I move the volume slider it just automatically goes back to where it was. I also can't force quit iTunes! It even won't let me shut down because of it. Any ideas?

Open Activity Monitor in Application/Utilities. You can monitor your applications there to see how much CPU or real memory they are using. Selecting the CPU column will sort the highest on top for easy viewing. You can also force quit an application in Activity Monitor.
Another option to Force quit is to use the commands. Command-Option-Esc. This brings up a Force Quit window.
Since the symptoms affect many applications, I would first download and install the latest Apple combo updater. They install over the same version and will go back and refresh all files unlike an incremental updater that only adds new files. If the combo doesn't work, you might need to do an "Archive & Install".

My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music)

My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music). As soon as I slide my ipod into opening the volume goes all the way down. Even if it's already completely off, the audio icon comes on the screen, which tells me the ipod is still trying to lower the volume. As I said, I don't even have to be listening to music. I can be on the opening screen. When I turn the volume back up, it immediatley turns it back down. It only doesn't go down if I physically hold my finger to volume bar on the touch screen.
And yes, I've updated all my software (on my ipod and laptop). I've also entirely reset my ipod twice.
Tell me, is it time to ditch the ipod and find some other sort of mp3 player (this is one problem at the end of a long list of less debilitating but equally annoying issues I've had with my 2 ipod touches)

Yeah, I probably mean restore. Multiple times though!
Also, I forgot to mention that this issue persists regardless of whether or not my headphones are plugged in.

Music volume slider shows "speaker" setting during "earphone" playback

A volume setting is stored for playback through the iPhone's speaker, and another for when earphones are plugged in.
I have noticed since updating to iOS 5.1 that the volume slider in the Music app sometimes displays the "speaker" level during "earphone" playback when switching between the two modes.
Although the slider displays the incorrect volume level, the playback is at the earphone setting's volume, not the displayed volume.
N.B. I have an iPhone 3GS, and the performance of the Music app has degraded with each iOS update; this seems to be due to the core software growing more complex. It is possible that there is just a very long delay between loading the Music app, it recognising the earphones are plugged in, and the volume slider widget being updated accordingly. I will report back with more clarification after more observation.

*** UPDATE ***
THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED.
I thought it was purely a performance issue that was delaying the update of the volume slider. However, I've recently observed the slider displaying the speaker volume permanently with the headphones plugged in.
Locking and unlocking the screen caused the slider to refresh.
"Discussions" does not allow me to undo the "Solve" flag above. All I can do is state that this is an open issue here.

HT1766 Recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off".

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
Any suggestions

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Where has my iTunes mini volume slider gone?

I have iTunes 11.0.4 on my Macbook. I use the mini box all the time, and until today, a slider would appear in the 11.0.4 mini box if I ran the cursor over it. (Not, in my opinion, an improvement over the previous version, where it was visible all the time, but oh, well.)
Today I opened iTunes and the volume slider in the mini was gone. Can anyone tell me how to get it back without wasting time going to the regular iTunes window (or having to adjust the volume on my computer)?
I found a thread from December, 2012 complaining about the missing volume slider and asking why Apple would do such a dumb thing. But that would be so dumb, so totally unnecessary, and such an inconvenience to so many people that I can't believe Apple would do such a thing, or at least fail to get it patched by now, 7 months later. (Tell us it ain't so, Apple.)
Besides, it was there yesterday, and I haven't updated anything in the last 24 hours. Anyone know where my slider might have gone to? Thanks!!

Hummel, Hummel!

My ipad 3 reset itself back to the original setting.

My ipad 3 reset itself back to when you take it out of the box.
All setting is gone. What happened?
I have no idea.
I just took it out of my bag and turn it on and the welcome message, Hello appeared and asked to set the country and so on.
Please help!
Before I plug it into my imac, I want to know what caused this.
Also, the other day, the ipad was locked with a timer, and it won't let me access it until the timer ran out.
What the hack is going on?
Anyone?

The welcome screen you describe may just be that an iOS update has been applied. Your data should still be intact. If not you can back up from iCloud or from a local back up you may have performed via iTunes. Just push through the Welcome screen questions to complete the update.
