OS X 10.4.3 Killed the volume on my iTunes

I am running iTunes 6.0.1. Last night I upgraded to OS X 10.4.3. At first my iTunes wouldn't play at all, so I ran the disk utility to repair permissions. Now the iTunes plays, but the volume, even at maximum, is annoyingly low. It used to go loud enough and more. Now it's just irritating me because I keep wanting to turn it up, but can't.

are you using Sound Check?

Where is the volume slider in iTunes 12.0.1?

where is the volume slider in iTunes 12.0.1?

try dragging the corners to make the itunes window bigger .... the volume slider will show up

My sound buttons do not work and neither does my speaker also I do not have the volume button on the volume bar for iTunes or any videos

I have tried all of the options on this site so far and others. My volume bar does not show up on any apps or videos not even when I double click and go to the left. The mute is not on. I have resented plenty of times. But if I turn off my iPad let it sit and plug my charger cord into it. When it turns on for a split second the speaker works making the charging noise but then quits and I'm going nuts trying to find out why it just stopped working!?!?!.!.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset

Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the iPad Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPad On...
If you try all these Steps and you still have issues...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Is there any way to control the volume on my Apple TV?

Here's the scenario: I have a small amplifier under my couch that controls the speakers connected to my Apple TV. When I use Airplay from my iPhone to listen to music, I'm able to control the volume right from the music App on my phone- this is perfect because I don't like to reach under the couch to change the volume. However, there are two scenarios when I cannot seem to adjust the volume anywhere except on the amp. These are:
First: Using Airplay while playing a video from my MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. In this case, the volume slider in iTunes suddenly has a little lock icon on it and is unadjustable. Is there any way to unlock the volume?
Second: When using the Apple TV directly to play any media- music or movies. The volume up and down buttons on the Apple TV don't control the volume. I'm forced to reach under the couch to adjust the volume- which happens quite frequently. Is there any way to control the output volume of the Apple TV?
The lack of volume control has been super disappointing. I've been a (multiple) airport express user for years so kind of expected Airplay to work the same for video- with the ability to control the volume from whatever device was transmitting. Can anyone help me?

Andrew- this is how I would expect things to work. However, when I use airplay from my iPhone to say, play a youtube video, the volume on the phone is suddenly rendered useless and I'm forced to adjust the amplifier. When I just play audio from the phone, the volume works.
It's the same on my macbook pro. If I mirror the screen, my computer's volume affects the speakers volume. However, if I am in itunes and play a movie and use airplay for that, I get a lock on the volume. Is this a setting somewhere?

The volume of some albums are low on ipod, but normal on itunes

I recently formatted and updated my ipod to use with my new mac, and added all my songs to it. I have adjusted the volume level of all my songs on itunes to about 70%. After listening to some new albums on the ipod through my Bose Sound Dock, I noticed one album in particular was extremely low in volume and quality. I then listened to the album on itunes and it was perfect. So I tried increasing the volume to 100% in itunes for that album, then retransferred it to Ipod. Listened to the album on Sound Dock and it was still low. Tried it in my car through auxillery input on stereo, and it was still low. Tried listening to the album on my headphones and nearly blew my ears off. The volume adjustment on itunes only seems to make a difference when using the headphones, not when using anything else (Sound Dock, Car Stereo).
Is there something you need to do in itunes to make the volume adjusments apply in every situation??
Has anyone else had a problem like this??

Thanks!

my apple remote wont control the volume in my itunes, any ideas??

Not via the Mac. I just hooked up a TV to mine via HDMI and it shows the It comes up with the volume logo on the screen with a line through it, when I select audio output via HDMI. If you select another audio output like internal speaker yo can change volume.

Any advice on increasing the volume on my Classic?

I have recently bought an iPod classic for the first time.
The volume is a real disappointment and is so low on certain tracks and in certain places eg whenever there is a deal of background noise, that it is almost unlistenable.
I have tried to turn the volume up on iTunes via file/get info/volume adjustment, maximise the volume on my iPod before synching, disable Sound Check on my iPod but nothing works.
It may be that the source of material on my iTunes is varied - emusic, iTunes store, CDs etc - but I would have expected to be able to adjust this if it were an issue.
I would welcome advice on the matter - it is ruining my enjoyment of my new purchase.
Many thanks
John

The problem is the varying volume on the input sources. The approach I've taken is to do the volume adjustment for each individual file in iTunes (it's one of the tabs when you look at the attributes). That increases the volume for playback through the headphones and the classic itself, but not iTunes. You can do "equalize volumes", but that just adjusts the same slider. ON the Classic itself, disable the sound check. It can also be the quality of your headphones -- you can get headphones with additional amplification.
(Lastly, it could be all that loud music you listen to :-)).

The volume slowly increases to the 100% even when I set the volume slider to 1%...

When I try to set the volume lower on my PC, it quickly increases to 100% volume, even when I set the volume slider to 1 or 2%. When I set it to 0%, however, it does mute the volume. It's rediculous! I just want quieter music, but I am constantly blasted by maxed out volume...

A stuck multimedia key on your keyboard to increase the volume perhaps? iTunes won't change the volume of its own accord. Perhaps there is an option in your control panel to disable the function.

I cant hear anything on my itunes player. how to i fix the volume?

i cant hear anything on my itunes player. how do i fix the volume?

Make sure the volume slider in iTunes isn't all the way to the left.
If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Audio does not play or plays incorrectly

I can't get any sound from ITunes. The computer's internal speakers are fine (they play utube sound, for example). And the sound bar on itunes is all the way to the right. Still no sound from the music library. Any insights?

I can't get any sound from my ITunes library. The IMac is set to internal speakers, the volume bar on ITunes itself is all the way to the right, there seems to be no problem with the speakers themselves (they play sound from internet videos, for example), but I can't play music from the ITunes library on the IMac. Please help!

Is it possible that you have iTunes set to send audio through AirPlay to an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or other AirPlay device (which is itself not turned up so you can hear it)?

Only AT&T Could Kill the iPhone Experience

Ever since I saw the demonstration of the iPhone, I thought it was going to be the coolest phone the mobile industry has ever seen. In the months that followed, all the information and videos that have trickled out of Cupertino has reinforced this notion. The hype surrounding the iPhone has grown to monumental proportions. The reviews that I've been reading in the newspapers and magazines have relayed that the actual iPhone experience lives up to just about all of the hype.
I've been an AT&T or Cingular customer for just about 10 years now. When I've talked to friends and family about the iPhone, one consistent feeling that I've had is the ONLY thing that will KILL the iPhone experience is AT&T.
For me, that is coming true. I have this beautifully engineered piece of hardware sitting on my desk plugged into the USB port on my Core Duo Macbook Pro. I'm staring at iTunes 7.3 and the "Your activation requires additional time to complete" screen. The same screen that has graced the face of my MacBook Pro since about 8:30PM EST.
After getting this message, I called AT&T. I spoke with a customer service representative who told me that everything with the account was correct. My new iPhone had replaced the Treo 650 I was using previously. The MediaNET data package I had subscribed to was dropped in favor of the iPhone data plan.
I checked my Treo 650 at about 9:30 PM and it was no longer registering on the AT&T network.
At about 11:15PM EST, I decided to give AT&T another call. After my call was dropped by the IVR (I was on a land line), I finally got to speak with a customer service representative who asked me if I would mind holding while I was transferred to another group of individuals who could look deeper into my activation problems. After waiting on hold for thirty minutes, I decided to hang up and go to bed.
Here it is Saturday morning at 10:20AM EST. I've been on the phone with AT&T for 28 minutes - waiting for the "Activation Support Group". I've been told that activation can take up to twenty-four hours to complete. I find this unacceptable. When I relayed this to the CSR, she politely apologized for the inconvenience and tried to comfort me (I guess that was her goal) by saying that a large number of people are in the same boat. I was told that there are "millions" of people trying to activate their phone and it just takes time.

This is soooo ridiculous - you have to laugh otherwise you'll cry. Don't bother buying an iPhone now, wait a week. You can't do anything with it until AT&T catches up on activation.
I posted this in the AT&T apple forum but I'll post here too, just for the record:
Activation with an Old AT&T Wireless (not Cingular)
Yes. I am one of those unfortunate loyal customers too.
I have made 5 calls so far.
Once last night to find out that the department I needed to 'fix' my account is shut for the evening and will re-open tomorrow at 7am.
Second at 8:30a to find out that the 'Conversions' department I needed to 'fix' my account opens at 9a.
Third at 9am to get my old AT&T rate plan changed. Only to find out later on-line that the customer service rep changed it to a $59.99 950 minute non-iPhone plan.
Fourth, to get my rate plan changed to a $59.99 iPhone plan. The lady did not know how to do it and was going to transfer me to the 'Sync' department but dropped the call.
Fifth, call again. Lady took my IMEI and ICCID numbers, set me up with a $59.99 iPhone (at last!). Now I am waiting for the Sync department to reset my device so I can go through activation again.
Apparently its a 12-24 hours wait because AT&T was 'surprised' by the volume of iPhone purchases and I am waiting in-line behind people to be reset by the Sync department from last night.
The iPhone is a beautiful device, its only flaw is AT&T.

Why is the volume on my MacBook Pro suddenly so low?

The volume on my macbook pro is really low. It used to be much better, now I can hardly hear people when on skype or listening to music... everything is set on high volume... help!?!

Try:
Reboot into Safe Mode then reboot normally. Safe mode takes longer to boot than booting regularly. That is normal.

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

Error message The volume for "linen.jpg" cannot be found.

Hi Community,
I have a number of photos in my library that appear in the photos and events, but if I try to edit it, copy it, move it, or link my other desktop to my laptop iphoto where these photos live, I get a message that says the volume cannot be found.
Then if I click edit, I get another message that reads
Image Cannot be Edited
The original is offline.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
I no longer have the original files to re import.
Thanks!
Lee

You get that message when the library is a "referenced" library and the source file is not where it was when it was originally imported into the library. Check the iPhoto Advanced preference pane to see if you're running a managed or referenced library.
What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
