IPad volume button broken, can't turn volume up

My iPad fell on the floor (tiles) and it got lightly bashed in where the volume roller bar and volume lock button is on the side of the iPad. The volume icon is now constantly displayed on the screen and I can't turn it up (it is not on mute). Does anyone know how I can turn the volume up without the volume roller button? Thanks!

Hey Bailey,
You have a couple options:
1) Use the volume slider in the software (ie, music app, youtube app etc), however if the button is jammed broken in the up position that may not work
2) Apple will swap your iPad out with a refurbished starting at $249 and up
3) The final and most economical is to have it repaired. I have use the company below for an out of warranty iPhone repair and they did a great job. A quick search shows they can repair the volume for about $80.

Sleep and volume buttons broken, but there's another problem.

The sleep and volume buttons on my Ipod touch stopped working recently, and on top of that, my speaker randomly cuts out.
If I squeese the top and bottom of my Ipod hard enough, I can get the sleep button to work for about 3 seconds.
The volume buttons have not responded to anything.
My speaker started cutting out on the first day I got it, but I thought it was because I had set it up wrong. Squeesing the corner where the speaker is located will make it work again, but only for a short amount of time.
I plan on taking my Ipod to an Apple store to have it serviced, but there is one problem.
I accidently cracked my Ipod's screen. The buttons stopped working MONTHS after it happened, and the speaker was already broken.
My Ipod is still under Apple's 1 year warenty, so would they fix the buttons for free under the warenty even if the screen was cracked?
I don't care about the screen getting fixed, I just want the buttons to work again.

I know the screen will not be covered, and I don't need it to be fixed.
What I want to know is will they fix the buttons?
I don't think the buttons would have broken because of the screen because the buttons broke 4 months after the screen broke.
And the speaker was broken right out of the box.

Nokia 620 volume button broken

Hello,
as the volume button is broken, does anyone know how to change the volume without using this button ?
thanks in advance for your help,

Hi Denla,
Unfortunately, the volume buttons are the only way to control the volume of the phone. May we know what happen to the volume keys?

Brightness, media, and volume keys broken

I am at my wit's end trying to restore functionality to my special keys on my late 2007 macbook running OS X 10.6.8.
Some time two days ago something happened and now suddenly I cannot use the mute key (F10), the volume keys (F11, F12), the brightness keys (F1, F2), or the media keys (play/pause (F8), forward (F9), rewind(F7)). Probably the media eject key is non-functional too, but I'm afraid to put in a CD and test it in case I can't get it out.
Interestingly, the exposé "all windows" button (F3) works fine, as does the dashboard button (F4).
I think I instigated the problem installing and poorly uninstalling logitech command center or maybe somehow poorly uninstalling logmein.com sound drivers, but that's just guilt by association AND I've tried everything I can think of in terms of uninstalling those apps, reinstalling them, and carefully uninstalling them correctly. Still, my half-baked best theory of what happened is that the logitech software reassigned some key functions somehow.
I am using a logitech K750 external keyboard and a M510 mouse via a unifying receiver. The keyboard is the version intended for a PC but was working pretty fine on my macbook (windows key worked as command key, Fn+volume keys worked as expected). I installed Logitech Control Center (LCC) for Macintosh because I wanted to adjust the horizontal scrolling via the mouse wheel (it was way too fast for my tastes). Installation of LCC prompted the keyboard setup assistant ("Your keyboard cannot be identified..."), even though I was only interested in adjusting the mouse and the keyboard was working fine. I ran through the setup assistant as instructed. Roughly since then, I've lost volume adjusting functionality on both the external (logitech) and built-in keyboard as well as all the other functions mentioned on the built-in keyboard.
I've been obsessed with this the last day and a half with no luck. Here is a pretty comprehensive list of what I've tried to fix the problem, though I may forget something since I've done so much:
-removed all peripheral hardware.
-use a different user account.
-SMC Reset
-PRAM reset
-Safe mode
-System preferences reset/ inspect all settings related to keyboard, universal access, text to speech according to the numerous help files I found online. (yes, I unchecked "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"
-turned off all google chrome background apps and inspected the key bindings of all chrome extensions.
-Removed Cache folder from library folder.
-removed recently installed software that I suspected might be related, reinstalled, re-uninstalled.
-installed OnyX and run all the maintenance/restoration routines I saw in it that didn't sound too scary.
-Turned on keyboard viewer and verified that each guilty key is recognized by the system when I press it (they all are!).
No luck. I don't have a snow leopard install disk but I just bid on one on ebay because I'm starting to feel like my only option is a time-machine full system restore
Please help! I'm still holding out hope that there is some simple way to get under the hood and re-assign or reset the keys. I can't even figure out how to disconnect the logitech peripherals (keyboard and mouse), though I've removed all the logitech software I can find.

I have an early 2007 Mac Book Pro 17" and had to re-install OS X 10.6.8 because of some problems created while installing a 2nd operating system.
After installing 10.6. the screen brightness keys wouldn't work (F1 and F2), I tried updating to 10.6.8 that didn't solve the problem either.
I'm still having this problem and plan to try to fix it today. I had previously seen a link where someone was explaining which files or extensions in the Library folder/directory control those functions and to see if they were all present.
I will search for that link again as I forgot to save it. If that works i'll share the link with you later.

Brightness and Volume Display Broken

Hello,
Recently, I have installed the latest Mac OS X 10.5.6 update. Everything afterwards has been fine however, when I press the volume/brightness keys on my laptop, the little picture that displays the volume level etc now shows as blank. It still shows the level indicator bar but the rest of the image is white. I was wondering if this could be fixed perhaps through the replacement of a config file or something but I have no idea.
I hope that someone can provide help with the issue.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
The function keys may have been reset.
Check in Keyboard & Mouse in System Preferences and be sure the box marked
"Use all F1, F2 etc...." is either checked or unchecked (try both).
Also check the Keyboard Shortcuts.
You might also check Universal Access to see if the keys have been reassigned.

Media Keys working/Volume keys broken

I used to use MultiPlugin by localhost to make the media keys on my keyboard work when iTunes was minimized. This worked great. When I updated iTunes to 7.1, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the media keys worked fully without any plugins. However, after using my computer for a few hours I found that the volume keys performed a "double press" when I was only pressing the buttons once. What happens is that when I try to mute/unmute the system the volume will be muted and immediately unmuted or vice versa. I have narrowed this problem down to iTunes, seeing as when I stop running iTunes, the keys work fine. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks,
Justin

T400 Volume too high. Volume control broken.

On Windows XP with Conexant Audio Driver 3.64.12.0 the volume control setting inside the SMARTaudio maps setting 10 to 1 or 2 for the windows volume control/OSD(i.e. quite loud), thus the volume set to bar 4-5 is already deafing.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've found no solution myself, having messing with all the settings. The static now audible because of this volume boost is just horrible as well!

Keyboard Volume Controls Broken

hello all,
i have a mac pro running 10.4.11. the problem i have is that even though i have selected +line out+ as my device for sound output, the apple keyboard volume buttons control the internal speaker volume. this happens every time i start my computer. the internal speaker makes the volume changing pop noises when i use these buttons, even though music comes through +line out+ just fine.
i have figured out a workaround. i can log out and then log back in. that second time i login, the buttons work correctly and i hear the pop noise in the line out.
i have tried running +repair permissions+ in +disk utility+ during the first login to solve the problem, but that did not work.
any help would be appreciated. thanks

I can't help, but I've suddenly got a problem on my Intel Mac Mini which at least merits the same description. I'm using the headphone output to external speakers. Up to very recently I could control the volume and turn mute on and off from the three keys above the numeric keypad section of my keyboard. Now this has stopped working: when I press one of these keys, I get the semi-transparent display of the speaker and the level of volume. Underneath that is a circle with a line through it (perhaps a 'mute' symbol) - but the volume up and down keys don't indicate changes in volume, and the sound itself is not affected. The Mute key shows the mute status (no "sound" lines coming out of the speaker icon), but no muting takes place. The volume up and down keys turn off the mute status display. The volume control on the toolbar at the top of the screen still works as normal. The only changes I know about are the recent security updates from Apple (all my Tiger software is up to date). Can anyone suggest any way of restoring these keys?

620 volume button broken

My 620 volume buttons started acting up and now the volume down button fell out. Is this a common problem and can it be fixed. Is there an app that will adjust the volume without having to use the buttons? any help would be appreciated

No, it's not a common problem. There is no app which can replace the button, so I'm afraid you need to have it repaired at Nokia care.

NANO volume limit BROKEN HELP!!!

When I try to increase my volume level when listening to a song it will stop increasin in volume when i go past the half way mark.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
When you go to Settings-->Volume limit there is no limit set (the blue triangle on the bottom of the volume bar is all the way to the right)?
Did you see this article?

When you go to raise the volume, does a little lock appear next to the volume bar?

Volume control broken?

Hi, guys,
My iPod's volume control isn't working. When I play music, it automatically turns to the highest volume. Also, the upper volume control button has completely stopped working.
If anyone knows a way to fix this, please help!

First try restoring the iPod from backup. If the problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod. If you still have the problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can't connect to volume of shared iMac but used to be able to

I'm really hoping someone can help me with this as I've been struggling with it since my upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. I run OS X 10.5.2 (all updated,etc.) on two machines - an Intel Macbook and iMac, with an airport extreme base station (updated) as the router. Both are using the same account names, but have different computer names (B's Macbook, B's iMac, etc.). So, attached to the iMac is an external hard drive connected via FW800, split into two volumes (Time Machine, Video Library). When I first tried to share these after the upgrade to 10.5.0 I had various permission errors with that "Unknown" user account. That seems to have been all cleared up, and in fact the two aforementioned volumes (Time Machine, Video Library) are now completely new and on a new FW drive. Problem is, I can't connect to the "Video Library" from the Macbook, even though sharing is allowed and I can connect to the the "Time Machine" volume fine. It shows up in the finder sidebar, under the Macbook, but when I try to connect I get this..
the operation cannot be completed because the original item for "Video Library" cannot be found
When I view the iMac via the Samba share listed in the finder (since Windows Sharing is turned on via the iMac - and I tried turning this off, doesn't change anything) I see 8 volumes labeled video library, video library-1, video library-2, etc. all the way through video library-7. Now, I click on these and get the same error. But I am 99% sure that Leopard is confused and can't find the correct link to the Video Library because all of these dead links are still floating around somewhere, but I don't know how to clear it out and reset. In fact, I used to have the same problem sharing the Time Machine volume, but during one replacement of the hard drive, I changed the volume name from "Time Machine Drive" to just "Time Machine" and it of course started working fine, I can access the drive without problems, etc.
So, after all of that explaining, it really comes down to the fact that something seems to be stuck in Leopard thinking that the link to the "Video Library" volume is broken or invalid, Smaba sees it as 8 volumes (btw all other shared volumes have only one entry in the Samba view), and everything is confused. The working solution would be to rename the Video Library volume, and connect. Problem is I have over 1,000 movies/tv shows/etc. in iTunes on that drive and if I change the volume name all those links will get screwed up. Any other ideas? I've spotlight searched for video library-# to look for a preference file somewhere that is trying to remember the link, but to no effect. I am sure it has to do with the growing pains associated with the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard and the user IDs, etc. Repair permissions won't work since it's an external drive. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much in advance.

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

Creative Inspire P580 volume control probs

Reading through some of the posts on these forums, it is quite apparent that there is a very obvious fault with certain Creative speaker systems. I've used my P580's for over a year now, and has been working fine, although I've now changed to the Logitech Z-5500's instead, but I want to use these for my PC in the living room, but the wired remote control is no longer working. Therefore, I can't operate the system. Before it gave up the ghost, the volume would keep on fluctuating, and even just tapping it would increase the volume tenfold. It's completely not working now, even though the speakers are fine. The documentation states that you can buy a separate volume control unit through the Creative shop, but I can't find it. Any help?

This sounds like a customer support issue rather than a forums one but I guess it is possible someone from Creative will respond here. Your better bet would be to submit your problem here and deal with the problem through Creative's Customer Support system. They may be able to ship you a new part for a charge or help you fix the problem.
How, exactly, is the volume control broken?
