Can't see volume bar! Please help...

Hi everyone,
I just got an ipod video and love it. However, today I cannot see the horizontal volume bar at the bottom of the screen when playing songs. Instead there are about five clear circles at the bottom. I can turn the volume up and down but I just can't SEE THAT.
If you could please suggest things I may try I would greatly appreciate your help. I hope I just messed up the settings or something and did not break it.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Those 5 circles are the "ratings" circles. Mine has frozen on those before. I just hit the center button a couple times and it went back to the volume bar. In case you didn't know, when you're on the volume bar and you hit the middle button, you go to another type of bar that allows you to fastforward or rewind the song/video, you hit it again and you get the 5 circles that you can turn to stars by runnin your finger over the wheel. Like I said before, that is your rating....Hope any of that helped, lol.

Grey Volume Bar in Track Info

On my real instruments, the volum bar that is just below INPUT in side the Track Info Window is greyed out and does not adjust. It is frozen. It is this way on every real instrument.
I have searched this forum, but have not found a solution to this problem.

He's probably got a slightly different setup then. I just checked, to be certain, and the slider is disabled when I set my system to Line-in.
Control the level from System prefs, not GB.

RE FMLE 3.1 Stuck Volume Bar/Button

The Volume bar is stuck on my FMLE 3.1 and not been able to increase or decrease the volume.I tried to un-install the FMLE and re-install a new FMLE 3.1 ( downloading from the website ) but the volume bar is still in the 60% position.I tried to use CC Cleaner to delete the registry and tried to install the FMLE but still no luck.Can anyone advise me how to go about this issue?
cheers

Strange that I am not able to reply this thread via Adobe forums page. I am sending this via Email Reply.
The Screen Shot which I uploaded is from my personal laptop and the problem is with my work laptops which are quite new Dell Studio Laptops and when we installed FMLE on them we never had any issues with the volume Bar, but in the last 2 weeks we have this frozen Volume bar which is creating some problem. Will def send you the screen shot for the same tmro.what I fail to understand is, why is that volume bar frozen even after un-installing the FMLE and when installing a new FMLE.

Sometimes the volume bar doesn't show up on the ipad

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I am having. One day out of the blue the sound on my wife's iPad stoped working for music or videos. The speakers still worked for ringers but not anything else, so I know that the speakers still work. Also I have noticed that the sound only works for the videos and music when you plug in headphones. Also for some reason if you go to raise or lower the volume the volume bar isn't present, I can't do anything with sound aside from hear my ringer. So I wanted to know if anyone knew what was wrong with it. I am thinking there might be a short because sometimes it will work again but only for about 3 seconds and then it doesn't work any more.
Also please don't give me the link of trouble shooting steps because I have already done them all, and I have also reset the iPad back to the original factory settings and nothing fixed the problem. I even went as far as going to geek squad since I had free tech support from them for the moment and they just told me that according to all the test/trouble shooting procedure that there is nothing wrong with the iPad hardware or software wise and since the speaker works with the ringer, it is obviously working. However for some reason it does not work with videos, music, or anything else for that matter without the headphones being plugged in.
If anyone has experience this problem please tell me what you had to do to get it fixed, and if repair was necessary how much did it cost?
P.S. I am sure that the mute is not on.

Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement. They replace the ENTIRE device.
For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device. Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
Apple will not touch the device now. They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

IPod Touch 3.1.3 1G no volume bar.

does anyone has this problem? i plugged in earpiece, reset everything,restore to factory setting,tried everything but still there is no volume bar appearing! There is a very very soft volume but its really depressing you can't adjust the volume!

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 settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod Touch Version 3.1.3 volume bar disappeared and will not return

The volume bar on my 1st generation iOS 3.1.3 ipod touch started disappearing then would return with tweeking of the headphones and sometimes when resetting all settings. Now it is gone completely and won't come back.
I have tried resetting to factory settings.
Cleaning the jack with a clean dry toothbrush.
Any ideas???
I thought I would try getting help here before going to the apple store.

From your description it appears that the headphone jack is bad. You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to hear what they have to say.
If Apple can't clean out the jack, they will exchange it for this price.

Likely not worth it for a 1G iPod. Thee a thrid-party place that is less expensive.

My iPhone 4s no longer has sound for any of the applications but it does have sound for phone functions. Where is the setting for app sound? I have gone to the multitask screen and the volume bar is empty.

I recently found my phone outside in light rain (it had been there about 20 minutes). It had some glitches at first, however after letting it rest overnight it seemed to mostly recover. The one problem I am having is that I no longer have sound for any of my applications. I do have sound for phone fuctions, and I am able to use the speaker for phone functions.
When I am in my applications, including music/videos, the only way I can hear is if I use my earbuds. I am able to make a video and it will record sound just fine.
When I go to the multitask screen, the volume bar is empty and I cannot adjust it using the side buttons (even though in settings I have that feature activated). I completely reset all of my settings tonight and that did not make a difference.
Is there a setting I am missing, or am I just SOL? I am trying to avoid having to get a whole new phone but it is very frustrating to not have sound with my applications.

How do I get my volume bar back on iPhone 4?

My volume bar is missing from my iPhone 4 and this seems to be the reason the audio won't work when I try to play music. However, when I play a ringtone the audio is fine. I put my iPhone in the Bose speaker dock and the volume bar comes back, but only temporarily. I've already tried restoring it and it didn't fix the problem. Help?

Just came home to find I have the same problem!! iPhone 4S, never jail broken,dropped or spilled anything on it! I have been using my original iPhone charger (when they came out with the new iPhone I just shaved my charging/docking station to fit) so it is a little on the dirty side!
This is the first post I read so I did the headphone thing, the docking undocking thing, restarted it and messed with all the volume setting and neither of them worked.
So finally taking "mike iPhone guys" post, I looked @ the 32 pin port at the bottem of the iPhone and I reminded me of a old Nintendo cartridge do untreated it as so.
*** THIS IS HOW I FIXED THIS ISSUE, I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT BEFORE CONSULTING APPLE, YOU MIGHT DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE*********
These are the exact steps I took ....
1. I blew into the port and it did absolutely nothing!
2. I took a vacuum ($200 Hoover windtunnel t series P.A.W.S pet approved vacuum, so it has some power behind it, not the most expensive but not the cheapest either) and used the smallest accessory, the long connection hose/tube with the smaller rectangle attachment and sucked the air out of the port.
This worked for 5 secs my volume bar appeard and then disappeared again.
3. I took a very thin butter knife, wrapped it with a paper towel that I sprayed windex with and stuck it in gently one both sides, tested and still didn't work.
4. Repeated the previous step but added a little pressure and shoved the blade in the upper part only closest to the screen, not the bottem side the knife didn't want to go in as easy so I didn't try, alot of dirt was on the rag, then I used a dry part of the towel and did the same again until there was no dirt on it!
Tested and still didn't work!
5. Blow in it once more, and vacuumed it once more but this time putting my finger in the area that the vacuum didn't reach on both ends an lightly tapping it, WORKS FINE NOW! Just needed some
Cleaning. I can only assume the dirt does make it
Think that it's still docked.

My volume bar isn't working,how do I fix it ?

How do I get a volume bar to work again?

Thanks for following up
Actually, I think my back up/sync is working. However I still see the sync/back up icon on some of my online albums in the right side of the organizer screen.
I can't figure out why some online albums have the icon and some don't. I've right clicked on each and choose "share" yet the albums situation stays the same with the same albums as before displaying the sync/back up icon.
I purchased an additional online storage, but after adding more photos and video, the amount of storage used hasn't increased.
Am I going crazy???
Thanks
Dave

Image zone/Volume bar

HP Desktop M7240UK
Windows 7
Hi
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from XP and I have lost the HP Image zone,how can I reinstall it?.
Also on my keyboard I have volume controls which when pressed would bring up a green volume bar on the monitor, this has also vanished and it was very handy.
Please can you help me retrieve these valuable items.
Regards

York, I don't believe that you will be able to reinstall HP Image Zone software. There is no way to install individual programs from the Recovery Discs. As for the volume bar, this is a special app. I have the same problem with my Logitech keyboard after installing Win7 Pro. So far I haven't found the solution for this either. I believe the Logitech software is not compatible with Win7.

Dv5-1124ca volume bar not working

I've had my laptop for just over a month now, and every thing is fine minus the volume bar. Ever so oftent it will do something annoying like the display well stay up and it will continue to click and stuff, but that goes away when i press stop. Anyways now Im having another problem with the volume bar, when ever i try and use it it doesnt really adjust anything. Its acting kind of like a spring, it will go up a few levels then go right back to where it was. I've tryed reinstalling quick launch and quick touch, updating them, and even the recovery manager and dont know what else to try. Anyone have any suggestions?
Message Edited by syst3m on 02-09-2009 09:51 PM

This usualy happens when the quicktouch driver doesn't interact properly with the audio driver. Reinstalling both will almost always resolve this issue.
Click on start, in the start search bar directly above, type REC. This will give you the option to open Recovery Manager. In recovery manager, select advanced options. Select hardware driver reinstallation. Click Next, then Next agian. In the list of avalibale driver, select your Quicklaunch (or quick touch) drivers and reinstall them. Then select and reinstall your audio driver. This SHOULD resolve your issue. If it doesn't you might try going online and looking for an updated version of both.
-Good Luck
