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??

My volume is low on itunes compared to music match. It's frustrating as I can barely hear the music in my kitchen. Has anyone figured out what this issue is?
Thanks!

  • Some albums are missing on my PC after latest iTunes upgrade.

    This morning I was listening to music on my iPhone on my way to work.  Sat down at my PC and opened iTunes, the album I wanted showed up without artwork and I could see the name of the songs, but it would not play.  I then downloaded the latest iTunes version and now the album and artist does not show up, even when I search.  The PC is authorized (only 3 out of my 5 limit), matche is on and updated and I am signed in (same account on all 3 devises, MAC, iPhone and PC).  The album still shows on my iPhone, but nothing at all on the PC!

    That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
    If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
    C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
    In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files).  You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
    One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it.  So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.

  • I have a lot of songs on my ipod that are not in my itunes.  Not sure why, but I'm wondering if I sync them, will I lose all of these song that are on my ipod, but not in Itunes?

    I pretty much summed it up in my question.  The only other pertinent detail may be that I have switched computers?  I have already authorized this computer.
    Thanks!

    Hey Raffiecat,
    Thanks for the question. If your iPod is setup to manually manage content, you can add content from multiple libraries:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
    You can also learn which content you can import to your new computer from your iPod:
    iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
    Or, if you still have access to the previous computer, you can transfer your iTunes Library:

  • Album artwork missing on iPod, but not in iTunes

    I went tto sync up my iPod Touch because a new song by Gorillaz was free to download (it's Do Ya Thing, great song by the way), but afterwards most of my album artwork was missing. Even stranger, only certain albums have it. All of the artwork is on iTunes. I use windows 7 Ultimate. Is there a bug with iTunes, or did I do something wrong?

    I get this on my iPod Touch 5th gen all the time. I think it just has to do with the files getting corrupted. Try removing the songs/albums with missing artwork from the iPad and then sync them back to the device from the cloud

  • How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered.

    How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered or they show 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.

    Poor metadata needs to be corrected if the album is to display properly in iTunes. iTunes sees an "album" as any collection of tracks with the same Album title and the same Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist isn't set). Each track of the album should have distinct Track V of W and Disc X of Y vaules. W,X,Y are optional, but X may be needed for multi disc albums.
    See Gropuing tracks into albums for details.

  • Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet thos albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop but none of the others. What's happening?

    Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
    I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
    I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

  • Some albums are quieter than others

    This has just happened in recent. I've never had problems with volume, but strangely some albums are losing volume. They used to be loud, but now the volume is down for them. Some albums volume has stayed the same, but others are becoming more quiet. I tried closing the apps, turning my iPad off and on. is anyone else experiencing volume loss with their music?

    Nevermind. I was stupid and forgot I switched on soundcheck. Fixed it

  • Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

    Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

    Hey there Claudia,
    It sounds like the audio from the receiver is low when you are talking on the phone. I found this article for you to help troubleshoot this issue named:
    iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
    Receiver
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Increase the volume during the call.
    Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
    Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
    Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
    Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Make sure your device is up to date.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.

  • Why can you see the artist in some albums and not others

    Some albums are showing the songs with the artist underneath. In Lady Gaga's album grid it is like this
    Song: 'Bad Romance'
    Artist:  Lady Gaga
    Then other album grid its just the song title. Why is that? I would like it one or the other. I have OCD when it comes to things like this.
    PLEASE someone help me!!!!
    Thanks

    that happens to me too.I think its because when it happens to me its because theres more than 2 artists (not bands or stuff)or the cd has been burned so it is not the original.
    Hope this helped :?

  • Converting from WMP to itunes - some albums are not imported as one

    I am importing my whole music collection. Some albums are imported into itunes and show up as single albums as they are supposed to. Some show up as multiple albums - particularly if they have different artists for different songs. The track numbers are correct. For example, in one "album," the correct song is labeled track 6. In another "album" (same real album - different artist), the correct song is labeled track 2, etc. These all show as single albums (as they should) under WMP. How can I get itunes to believe that all albums with the same name are the same album even if there are different artists on different tracks?
    Thanks

    Here is an article with good examples on that.

  • Art work for some album are misplaced in my MBP and also iPhone5

    Artwork for some albums are misplaced in my MBP and also iPhone. What should I do to correct this?

    Hey there vtec99,
    It sounds like you are syncing photos from iPhoto on your computer but not all the photos you set to sync are actually coming over, and they are disorganized. Based on what you are describing, I would recommend deleting the iPod Photo cache which stores picture information that iTunes uses to sync photos from your iPhoto library. The following article will help you do that:
    iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
    When you use iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, iTunes creates a folder called iPod Photo Cache. The iPod Photo Cache stores photos that are optimized for display on your device. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the Sync Photos From menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original.

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original. On my iMac, I also have many folders containing some of the same photos. My computer is used for both personal and business purposes. My libraries should be separated, one for each.

    To merge libraries use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  or Aperature
    To find duplicates within an iPhoto library use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    Photos that are not in an iPhoto library can be imported telling iPhoto not to import duplicates (an imperfect procews) and then IPLM can find the duplicates
    As to keeping seperate libraries - only you can do that - IPLM can move photos between libraries for you but only you can know which photos should be in which library

  • How come the volume of other programs are lowered while one FaceTime? I exchange media with friends and colleagues and I can barely hear anything. There should be a way we can manually control the volume of different programs

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

  • When I make an outgoing call the recipient cannot hear me very well as though the volume was turned down very low. However when I activate the speakerphone the recipient can hear me loud and clear. I transferred my SIM Card into a new device Same problem

    When I make an outgoing call the recipient cannot hear me very well as though the volume was turned down very low. However when I activate the speakerphone the recipient can hear me loud and clear. I transferred my SIM Card into a new device only to be subjected to the exact same problem. I have reset the phone clearing all the data and updated to the most recent software version available from itunes; and still no improvements. The results of my switching to a new phone would indicate a software issue.
    Does anyone out there have this problem and how can it be fixed?
    Thanks,
    Teresa

    Try removing the screen protector that is covering the microphone.
    Scratch that; wrong answer. I thought you meant you had trouble hearing.

  • Album Art is making me crazy! Won't stay attached in iPod but ok in iTunes!

    1.Some of my Album Art is imported from iTunes, some is copied / pasted from internet since I can't get it from "Import Art" from iTunes. I also use an external hard drive to store my iTunes on. iTunes plays fine, and in iTunes, all my album art is displayed. However, several albums (only about 10 out of over 1000) show no album art at all in my iPod(s). I download it again, drag it into the window where you drop artwork and it seems fine in iTunes but again will not show up in my iPod. The image is fine as it shows in iTunes and is the same size as all my other image files I have used.
    I have even deleted all the art from each individual track in iTunes which had missing art and reloaded it - same thing. This is making me nuts! Any ideas? I'm a very anal person and I want art on every track/album.
    This happens on my new iPod classic 80G w/video as well as an older iPod classic which doesn't support cover flow but still shows album art.
    2.On an even weirder note, if I eject/disconnect my external drive to use my laptop, when I reconnect, most of my album art is gone in iTunes. However, if I use the cover flow view to locate the albums with no art, when I get to them I press enter to play the first (or any) song on the album and as soon as it starts to play, the art comes back and then stays! This is very strange. Almost as if iTunes forgot where the art is but playing the song somehow reunites it. I don't get it.

    For #1, the iPod's Artwork cache does get corrupted when making frequent changes. In the iPod's Music preferences tab in iTunes, remove the check beside "Display album artwork on your iPod" and select Apply.
    Once the iPod has finished syncing, recheck it and hit Apply again. iTunes should recreate the artwork cache and re-sync it to your iPod.
    For #2, are you running the itunes database (it has an ITL extension) from the exHD ? Or from the default location on your C: drive. The downloaded artwork from the itunes store goes into a folder named Album Artwork, and that is created in the same folder as the ITL file.
    Not sure if this is it, since I embed the artwork in all my files.
