Are you trying to publish to a MobileMe account? The Apple server is closing down at the end of this month. Is your account still active?
What version of OS X are you using? If its Lion you may need to log out of iCloud and into MobileMe

  • ITunes disables my Windows sounds and takes away the volume control

    I have searched and found no answer to this- others have posted this same question.
    I installed itunes and it removed my volume control from the task bar. It disabled my Windows sounds and took away the volume control from the System Tray next to clock. My media buttons no longer affect the volume either. I have to go into control panel to change my system volume.
    At first- it only happened when my daughter would plug in her iPod and use iTunes, and then after we'd reboot the computer, the volume control would come back and no longer be disabled. Each time she used iTunes, it would happen again. Then a computer restart would bring it back. Now all of a sudden, nothing brings it back. I have to go about 4-5 screens deep into Control Panel to adjust the volume there. This is ridiculous and an absolutely unacceptable side effect of iTunes.
    Does someone have an answer or do we need to delete iTunes and never again buy a crappy apple product?

    Figured it out!
    Go to Control Panel -> Sound
    In the “Playback” tab, click on your Speakers to highlight it, then click Properties. In the “Advanced” tab, under “Exclusive Mode”, uncheck the box that says “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device”. I restarted my computer after that, but I am not sure if you need to.
    Then you can go to your taskbar and right-click and choose “Properties”. In the “Notification Area” tab, under System icons, “Volume” is no longer grayed out and you can now check the box to make it show up down near your clock again.

  • My iphone 4S doesn't show the volume controls when playing videos and the speakers don't sound. But if I plug in the earphones then I can hear fine and the volume controls appear on screen. Please someone help.

    After a week or so of installing IOS 7 now I having this problem, the speakers don't work for videos, music or apps sounds, but they work fine for using the speaker phone. It's definitely some software issue as the volume control appears when i plug in the earphones, but disappears when unplugging them, same happens with the volume buttons on the side, they don't work when trying to use the speakers, but the work when using the earphones. Please help if you have a workaround for this. I don't want to carry my earphones all the time to listen to videos and music.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • The volume control has disappeared from the music app on my iPhone and i can't play any music how do i fix this?

    The volume control has disappeared from the music app on my iPhone and i can't play any music how do i fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How do I get back the volume control in internet plugin

    In Safari 4, when I play some items like the quicktime trailers from Apple's site, I see a volume control under the movie, and clicking it brings up the slider as expected. However in most other items Quicktime wants to play (e.g. an mp3 like http://www.husky-rescue.com/Resources/weshall_burnbright.mp3), I see the volume control button, but clicking it just mutes and un-mutes the volume. Furthermore, in Safari I am missing the little triangle on the right side of the controls to pull down the menu for saving the item, adjusting connection speed, etc. (I have QT Pro).
    The controls appear and function as expected in Firefox and Opera, so this seems to be a Safari issue.
    I have tried to enable and disable the plugins in various combos under /Library/Internet Plug-Ins to no avail. Anyone else seen this and anyone else have a workaround?

    Yes, I am having the same problem. I have also seen other posts on the web about the issue. The only workaround appears to be using another browser. Surely Apple does not want to drive users to Firefox with this.

  • Where is the volume control in the new Remote 3.0 app?

    I'm unable to find  the volume control in the new Remote 3.0 app.

    i have the same remote 3.0 but now i am even able to control the volume from the app....
    is the app connecting to your itunes?
    what version of iTunes do you have?
    do you have a pc or a mac? what version?
    i assume you downloaded the apple remote app, just in case, not a 3rd party's....
    did you try deleting and redownloading the app?

    limits the entry of string control to required length but it doesnt limit the entry of special characters.
    If you have any simple way to do the same it will be very helpful

    Just change the check after the Lexical Class function.  If you just want numbers and letters, then use the In Range & Coerce function to check for class numbers 3 through 5.  Play around with the logic some more until you get what you need (I'm thinking that AND should be an OR).

  • Why is the volume control grayed out?

    Hi,
    I am attempting to record from a Sony ECM-MS957 mike that is connected to my iBook with a Griffin iMic onto GarageBand3.
    I am following the "Learn to Podcast" tutorials from Apple. With the Sony mic connected the volume control in the track info window is grayed out. If I un-plug the Sony mic and use the built in mic the volume control becomes active.
    I have the iMic selected in the System Preferences and the volume indicator responds to the mic. The iMic is also selected in the GarageBand preferences.
    Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong here.
    Thanks

  • [Mobile] Put back the Volume Control in the Now Playing View

    I have just updated to the newest mobile app (3.3.0) on my iPhone and now there is no volume control on the 'Now Playing' screen (same for Android).
    I used to use this because when I go from my car to my head phones I need to turn down the volume a lot! And if I use the iPhones volume buttons, it says its changing my headphones volume but its just turning down my ringer volume (very annoying). Please put the volume control back.
