Volume and Volume Slider Missing

Recently, I dropped my 32GB iPod Touch 4th Generation into a bowl of water. I had an Otterbox Survivor Case on it, however, the rubber pieces were missing where the headphone jack and the charging jack are. After drying off my iPod and placing it in a bowl of rice, I soon came to the realization that my volume slider was missing. Panicking, I attempting pressing the sidebar buttons, sliding my fingers across where the slider should be, even turning off and restarting my device.

If/when the iPod is totally dry:
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a hardware problem caused by the water.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

Volume slider missing iPod

Volume slider is missing.

When you restored it, did you re-load your last backup? If so, then restore again but set it up as a new iPod to see if that helps. If it does help, then since you're not re-loading your last backup you'll have to re-do all your preferences, network log-ins, e-mail, etc. and you'll lose any game data.

I have an I phone 4 and since I upgrade to the lastest ios 6.1.3 , my volume slider is missing. The sound works when but I can't mute or turn up or turn down the volume. I've tried a hard reset , reboot, blowing air in the dock and earrplug jack. :-(

I tried almost evrything to restore my volume slider( + & - ). My phone rings, plays music and every other sound but I can't mute or put the volume up r down with the side buttons.. My volume slider bar is missing. This is only simce I upgraded to iso 6.1.3 .. What's with that?? I figured out how to manually mute the phone through (General, Accessibitily) by muting the bell for sound and unmuting the bell for silent mode. But what a freaken pain, when you have to take all those extra steps to turn your volume up or down or mute your Iphone??
We have no Apple Store here so no luck to bring it in to get looked at.. Please , does anyone out there know what else I coold do???
Cheers

Does it work with headphones plugged in? That is typically the culprit, the device mistakenly believes that a pair of headphones are plugged in.

My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

Hi there. I have a problem with sound on my 4s. When you move the volume slider up, it sounds well. But when I move the volume slider down I will hear barely and unclear sound in my headphone.I tried different headphones but result is same as old one.Help

IPod Touch 1st Gen and 3.1 update DELETES volume slider

I had a perfectly working iPod Touch 1st Gen/16GB until I updated to 3.1 software. Now I do not have a volume slider.
Yes headphones are in but there is no place to adjust the volume. There is previous, next arrows and play and pause AND its centered in the rectangular area, but no volume slider.
I have restored it 3x in various ways. I have tried 5 times to downgrade the operating system but ALWAYS get an error, so it never completes. Of course the ipsw files where found using google because there isn't any links that work on Apple's site for previous iPhone software. If I try to restore to 3.1 right after that it goes through perfectly.
So it seems that Apple has locked out downgrading once you upgrade! All I want is my volume slider back. How can I get it back if 3.1 deletes it everytime and I can't go back to the previous operating system?
Thank you.

I too have had this exact same problem, except that I was running 3.0 and hadn't updated to 3.1. I put my ipod on the table overnight, after listening to it, and when I picked it up the next morning, theres no volume slider. I never even unplugged the headphones. Double clicking the home button while on the home screen would bring up the popup to skip songs, and there it says "Dock Connection" even though it not connected to a computer. Multiple reboots an no effect. I've tried different sets of headphones, to no effect. Its like the iPod isnt detecting them being plugged in. The worst part is i DO get sound in the headphones, but no volume control, and the sound level is turned really low. So the headphones ARE working.
I updated to 3.1 just now, and the problem has NOT been fixed. Theres no way anywhere in the settings to adjust the volume. Theres only a limit slider, so I have no way to turn up the volume loud enough to actually HEAR things.

I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

I can't get the volume to work when I watch a you tube video, there's no volume slide under the play button, and my volume control on my I pad won't do anything either, but the volume of all my alarms and sounds works perfect, what can I do??

Fiddling with volume slider and sound quality

In an attempt to bypass the infamous volume cap that plagues iPods sold in the EU, in the past I fiddled with the volume slider of many of my MP3 tracks, either directly or via third party applications (such as euPod). Afterwards I have changed my mind and reset the slider.
Later on, I have read a few sources claiming that the above procedure would cause a permanent modification of the MP3 file and/or affect sound quality.
I am somewhat puzzled by such claims... Am I really better off re-ripping all those tracks? Can anyone point me towards an undisputed “truth” on this matter?

The third one is a hardware issue: The earbuds jack
is very loose. Apparently, the iPod automatically
pauses playback when the headphones are disconnected.
Hence, I only have to wiggle the connector a bit and
the nano stops playing. This really would be annoying
if I were to go jogging with my iPod ...
hmmm.. that happens to my ipod too and i only got it for christmas. so i was a bit gentle with it.so hence it comes out very easily.
but whilst reading all the replys i decided to be harsher to my ipod and just push my earbuds in all the way..it worked!! that might be the same for u or i might have just been a bit too forgetfull and thought that my ipod was delicate coz its like.. so preety:)
lol im in love with my ipod ..
dont know if this helps..hope it does..

Why apple is not adding tweaks like activator,volume slider in multitasking bar and a blacklist app

Why apple is not adding tweaks like activator,volume slider in multitasking bar and a blacklist app?

But quantity is not everything.
Funny, because Windows proponents and users touted the quantity of apps available with that swiss cheese for security OS being "everything" or a big plus, but now say it isn't everything with iOS. Can't have it both ways.
At present there are about SIX blacklist apps in the OFFICIAL Apple Store which I can buy for MONEY but have NO USE AT ALL because of the APIs restrictions.
3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs for security reasons. Andrioid is following the same path as Windows. Their so called "open" OS is a swiss cheese for security mobile OS.
If this isn't acceptable to you or having an option to block unwanted calls provided by the iPhone's OS is a very important want or need, stick with an Android or Symbian device that includes the option.

The volume slide control on my 4s has disappeared when I watch videos and listen to music. Any suggestion on how to get it back? I've tried the recommendations in the manual

The volume slide control on my iPhone 4S has disappeared when I play videos, music and YouTube. I've tried the recommendations in manual, to no avail. Any suggestions?

Your phone still thinks it is plugged into the stereo. I don't remember how to solve this but perhaps you can search through the forum or maybe one of the members here will jump in on how to switch the playback to speakers.

MISSING VOLUME SLIDER BAR SOLVED!!!

I have found the culprit! It has taken me a very long time to figure it out what it was but it has finally been found. The volume slider disappears when playing music or watching videos but otherwise works.
The problem is the 32pin connector. If you don't believe me take your phone and place a hard plastic card of some sort (creditcard, school I.D) and place it underneath the 32pin connector. Look at your volume slider and it should appear! You must get your 32pin connector replaced.

I wouldn't go as fr as getting a new iPod yet. Take it into a genius bar and see what they say. I got my old iPod nano that got sent through the wash replaced for around $50. I don't promise anything.

Global Volume Slider (from library) to control drag and drop xml playlist

hi there,
have spent some time doing tutorial and looking online but can't seem to get a volume slider functioning.
the scenario is :
3 circles which can be dragged over a target (one for each circle)
When the circle is placed on its target it loads its respective xml playlist into 4 buttons (play, pause, forward, back)
I want to be able to create some kind of function to control the volume, either using a slider or a rotary dial, whichever is easiest!
any help greatly appreciated!

Be sure you include the SoundTransform class...
import flash.media.SoundTransform;
Create a SoundTransform object
...named 'st' (I like short names). Create this AFTER the creation of your soundChannel object...
var st:SoundTransform = channel.soundTransform;
st.volume = 1;//This sets the volume to 100%
channel.soundTransform = st;//This associates your SoundChannel object with your SoundChannel object
Then, for simple testing of this
...create some new button...
halfVol_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doHalfVolume);
function doHalfVolume(e:MouseEvent):void{
st.volume = .5;//This sets the volume to 50%
So, now you have a half-baked volume control. Nothing exciting, but this gets you acquainted with the volume part of what you want. You have created, and have access to, the st.volume property to set the volume to whatever you want, from 0 to 1.
Next, I'd suggest that you practice the creation of your own slider. Search online for tutorials on it, like I mention above (as a Flash programmer, this is something I, and you, end up doing - searching - dozens of times a week at times). In the end, the position of your knob/button/control in the slider is a %: What % is the location of the knob on the total width/height of the slider. This % is what you send to the st.volume property.

As an alternative to create your own slider, you can also use the Flash "Slider" component:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/controls/Slider.html
...but this, too, requires some getting-up-to-speed with using it.
Good luck. If you want some actual code examples - you'll find plenty online :-)

Quick Play and volume slider

I have a new dv51235dx laptop. When I try to use the volume slider, the volume bar does not display on the screen like it's supposed to. Also, when I push the Quick Play button absolutely nothing happens. I've uninstalled and reinstaled drivers for the audio and for Media Smart but that didn't help Any idea how to solve these two problems. Since they are both keyboard functions they might be related, but I don't know for sure. For what it's worth, the phone reps from HP don't know how to fix either problem.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
