Turning the volume down on the iPod

I know this is probably going to seem a little odd to most people out there, but I'm trying to actually turn down the minimum volume on my 8 gig iPod Touch. Right before bed, or in a quiet room with in-ear monitors/headphones, the volume can actually be kind of painful at the absolute minimum volume. I've tried setting the volume lock really low to possibly lower the volume setting, but it instead just decreases the amount you raise the volume as you drag the slider. With the volume limiter at practically the max setting (lowest volume allowed), there is about a centimeter of just space on the slider where there isn't any volume at all (muted). I would love to be able to turn down my iPod a couple of notches, so I can comfortably listen to it, but right now I can't find a native way to do it on the system. I know they sell external volume potentiometers, but I really think this is something that should come built into the ipod.

So, let me get this right, no matter where the Volume Lock is ...
When you decrease the volume slider when a song or video is playing, it's always TOO loud?
Because you must have Super-Hearing then ... Anything below 1/3 volume, I can't hear a damned thing. If I have my Boostaroo Volume Booster connected, I can't hear anything but the static hum of silence below about 1/5th volume.

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

I turned on the itunes radio on my computer - I am unable to turn off the music, I turned the volume down, however this isn't the answer

I turned on itunes radio on my desk top computer - now I don't know how to turn it off or get to the icon to at least change the channel. I turned the volume down on the computer! any help anyone can give would be appreciated

even if you wipe the drive LoJack is still there, it's installed in a hidden partition so you would have get rid of the entire OS. I caught a glimpse of the culprit and from what I seen he is more of a low life than a computer nerd. It is possible he could have tried to log-in but didn't notice the guest and admin account. While I see what you're saying I still have some hope, from what I've read online it took people more than a day to see that their laptop had gone online. If it can't get replaced LoJack has a $1,000 guarantee but that still doesn't make up for the $3,000 worth of equipment lost.

How can I make the volume buttons on my iPod Touch control ALL sounds - not just alerts and system sounds?

I would like to TOTALLY silence my iPod. I turn the volume all the way down using the buttons on the side, but this just silences alerts and system sound effects. Then I start a game, and the game sounds still play. Of course I can turn the volume down after the game starts, but by then I'm already busted :-)
I don't know if it's related, but...
I can plug in my headphones and then turn the game volume all the way down. But when I remove the headphones, the volume goes back up again.

Basically, i want to be able to hear the tracks i've recorded but not the one i'm recording since it's distracting since it's off time.
thanks.

Thankyouuu
it looks like that when it is locked and when its unlocked it looks like this

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

Why does my ipod suddenly turn the volume down?

im working out and my ipod nano turns the volume down by itself - i turn it up and it turns it down???

I had the same thing happen. Just got off the phone with tech support and I am having to get my second refurbished ipod nano. I had to pay 65.00 for the first one and now it is doing the same thing! Since this one was within the 90 days I don't have to pay another 65.00 but if the next one does it again and it's past the 90 days I have to pay again! The thing is is that my first nano was probably given to some poor chump who's had the same problem and now they have paid their 65 dollars for mine which wasn't fixed. They told me that they do not do repairs on something this small, so I have to pay for a used one! It's crazy! You know if Apple wants to be the best then make your stuff right the first time...and if you don't then don't make me pay to get one that is used and had the same problem! Buyer Beware!!

How can I turn off the volume limitor on my ipod nano? I want to play it with a docking station, it is no where near as loud as an old 4GB ipod!

Hello, please can you tell me how to turn off the volume limiotr on my ipod nano? I want to play it on a docking station and it just isn't as loud as I want it to be. An old ipod is much louder.

I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection. All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again. The big arrowhead just get's in the way. The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down. If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences? I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

Have you tried giving it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple let go and let it reboot and see if htat helps.

Is it possible to lock the volume buttons on my iPod Touch?

Something is forcing the volume down button on my iPod down all the time. Because the volume is constantly being turned down the volume square is always up in the middle of my iPod. Rather than having to replace the whole volume down button or the whole iPod, is there a way to simply lock the volume buttons on the side of the iPod?

There is no way to lock them. I would work through the general troubleshooting outlined here to rule out the possibility of a software, although it sounds more like a hardware one.

When I turn my volume up on my ipod it automatically goes down by itself

When i turn the volume up on my ipod touch it automatically goes down by itself...is there anything i can do to fix this, if not i am still under my one year warranty so maybe i can just get it replaced?

I use this formula to reset Admin login password:
Resetting a user's password in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion
Important: Passwords for administrator accounts should not be blank.
Log in with an administrator account. Tip: If you don't know the password of any administrator accounts, see "Resetting the original administrator account password" below.
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password.
Select the name of the user whose password you want to change.
Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.
Enter a new password in both the New Password and Verify fields, and add a Password Hint if desired.
Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.
And the change password has me making a new Apple ID. I don't need a new Apple ID. I need a new Admin login so that when I turn on my Macbook I need to login with a password before I can used the Macbook. Amd I asking the wrong question of support?

My 6th gen nano ipod stopped working. I figured it was because it was next to my sweaty body, so put it in rice. I sought help from internet and tried all of the troubleshooting steps; i.e pushing down the power button and the volume down button consecutively, plugging it in to a power source, waiting 10 minutes and pushing the buttons while it was plugged in. Nothing has worked thus far. Is there anything else that I can try?
