Poor volume on G5 ipod
I've noticed recently the poor volume on my ipod
On half volume I can't hear a thing
I've tried adjusting the volume limiter, but on setting it to the highest setting,it read-adjusts to about 90%,
I've uncapped the volume with gopod but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
Is there a bug in ipod update 1.1.1
is it possible to update the software to an earlier version?
Have you tried new/different pair of headphones?
Try restoring your iPod with the iPod updater. This will erase everything on it, however.

Yu can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -
Having trouble setting up the volume on my ipod...
when i put on the sound check on on my pod it really knocks the volume way down, and i find if i boost the volume to my music tracks in my itunes settings {even with sound check off} that a certain percentage of my volume control {roughly the last ten percent} on the slider doesn't work... its as if itunes is trying to keep all my music at the same volume even with sound check switched off, even after i have manually boosted the volume on my music... is it me? is there a way round this? ideally i just want to boost the volume on my music and have it all play out at roughly the same volume, but it doesn't quite seem to work... any help would be much appreciated???
if i boost the volume to my music tracks in my itunes settings {even with sound check off} that a certain percentage of my volume control {roughly the last ten percent} on the slider doesn't work..
Correct, using that method all you do is make it so that the maximum volume on the iPod is reached before the volume bar is at full.
For example, if you increase a track's volume in iTunes by +100% then when it's on the iPod you will find that that track hits it's maximum volume level at about half volume, and turning the iPod up to full volume will not increase the volume any higher after this point. A track which has not had it's volume altered in iTunes will reach exactly the same sound level, although of course you will need to turn the volume level of the iPod to full in this instance.
All iPods manufactured for the European market have a volume cap applied to them. It's a European directive from those nice people in Brussels who make sure we can't damage our delicate little ears.
If you have an older iPod you can use goPod to remove the cap on iPods that have this volume limitation. That should make your iPod maximum volume louder.
The soundcheck option will lower the volume on your iPod somewhat in order to level out the volume of different songs. There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
For Windows there is mp3/aacGain. -

How do I get the volume on my ipod classic to the same level for all songs? Some songs are a lot lower than others.
Coverflow in iTunes is sorted by Album Artist whereas coverflow on the iPod classic is sorted by Artist. Unfortunately, there is no way to set this on your iPod. This is such a fumble on Apple's part that I'm beginning to think they're becoming another Microsloth with buggy firmware and products.

The volume of mi ipod is too low
How can I make the volume of my ipod video higher. Songs in their best performance seem to have almost no sound on this new ipod.
Sounds like you could have a problem with your iPod. Even with the volume limiter you should still be able to hear the thing. My 5th Gen is pretty loud without any adjustment.
You could try goPod to uncap the volume limiter. I've used it on older models and it made a big difference.
There's a new version which might work with the video model at http://gopod.free-go.net/

SAME VOLUME LEVELS ON IPOD MINI...
Is there in any way transferred music from itunes to ipod be played on the same volume level?..my itunes plays it in all on the same level but when i transfer it ipod it changes...
thanks for any help guys...
:>The question is how does the iPod Mini play songs at the same volume - in other words how do you avoid having to turn the ipod up and down when playing files back as some songs will be played back louder than others.
iTunes has a facility called 'Soundcheck' which adjusts song playback levels so that all songs are the same volume. The iPod does not seem to have this facility and it can be annoying.
Any help with this issue would be appreciated -

Significant Volume Reduction on Ipod Touch 3GS after upgrading to IOS 4.2
Hi everyone. I just would like to ask why there is a significant decrease of sound volume after my ipod touch 3GS was upgraded from 3.1 to IOS 4.2. Settings are the same and I haveven't changed anything, so I'm pretty sure its a software issue. Is there a way now to increase or recover the volume? I am planning to downgrade it back (if it is still possible) just to get back the huge volume of ipod touch 3.1. Thanks in advance guys.
I have had the same problem. I have put the same song on my standard Ipod and also my Itouch and the volume on the touch is considerabely lower when it plays through the Apple plug. When I play music through Pandora the volume is higher than the music that is uploaded. This has only happened since I updated to OS4. Any idea how to help with this?

Volume limiter for ipod shuffle?
Have been reading about Apple introducing a user-definable volume limiter for ipod nano's and fifth gen ipod's.
Anyone know if this software is going to be made available for ipod shuffle's? (You could adjust the settings for it from within itunes)
Toshiba laptop Windows XPI doubt it because the shuffle doesn't have a screen. You should send Apple your feedback if you really feel that you need to be heard!

I cannot remember my password for volume limit on iPod shuffle
I cannot remember the password for volume control on iPod shuffle.
Hello sasrichey,
You'll need to restore your iPod if you cannot recall the code used to lock the volume limit.
Note: If you forget the combination, you can restore iPod.

How do i reset pass code to unlock volume limit on ipod model mc525ll

Hi blondop,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you can restore the iPod nano and then set it up again. The articles below provide more details about the maximum volume limit and restoring the iPod.

How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.

The volume on my iPod was just fine, but somehow it got turned up too loud, and I don't know how to turn it down.
Hi Virginia1945,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Depending on which iPod nano model you have, you can adjust the volume with the button on the side, the top, or using the click wheel. You may also be able to set a maximum volume, so it doesn't get turned up too loud in the future.
You can find the user guides for your iPod nano at this link:
