Volume for music and video not working on my iphone 4S

Just today the audio for videos (like Youtube) and Music on iPhone stopped working. i cant increase the volume through the volume control. I reset the phone to factory settings, yet it isnt working. Other sounds like Siri, alerts and ringer volumes are working. Anyone has a solution for trouble shooting this issue.

Why does my volume for music or videos not play externally, but it does for my alarm or phone calls?

I can not get the volume on my IPhone 4S to play externally for music and videos. However, the sound for my alarms and phone calls do sound externally. Also, the buttons on the side of the phone for volume control no longer appear to be working? What can I do to fix this? Thank you.

Hello Jack,
I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working. I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speaker

Photo Music and Video not working in Smart Center/Touchsmart Mode after Win7 Ultimate Install

Hi, I recently did a clean install (had Win7 Premium64 - now have Win7 Ultimate64). I reinstalled everything using my newly purchased Win7DVD and updated all of the touchsmart software and apps. Everything works fine except for
Photo - It loads, but no photos/folder are showing up...just blank. Tried resetting the touchsmart config, no go.
Video - Crashes the Touchsmart Application
Music - flashes for a split second and closes.
I tried installing multiple versions, the updates, older versions and even called tech support. They want me to recover, upgrade the app (eventhough I was already running version 4) then upgrade using a code. Not an option any more.
Anyone experience this problem? Please help, those are the main reasons I bought this bad boy.
HP Assistand and Update aren't ugrading anything on thouchsmart.
Also, if anyone knows where the Touchsmart YouTube App is (the one that makes it easy to upload and edit) please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Music and Video not working

Hi all,
Having a problem with my iPod Touch, and hoping you can help. Was playing around with it last night trying to get my Stanza app to work, mangaged to get what I wanted on it. However, when I came to play music on the way to work, it wouldn't work. When I clicked on it, it sort of froze for a about 30 secs, then went back to the home screen.
Anyhoo, got home and tried a system reset, but it's still happening. Also discovered that the videos aren't working either.
Any ideas? Or do I have to take a trip to the Apple Store?
Louise

Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Can I use two Time Capsules? one as an extension of my laptop (for music and video storage) and the other one to back up everything from the laptop and Time Capsule (for music and videos)

Not via Time Machine. It cannot back up from a network location.
The 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner and ChronoSync may be workable alternatives.
EDIT: And, if you're going to do that, you could back up from the Time Capsule to a USB drive connected to the TC's USB port. Second TC not required.

I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

i had the same issue as everyone here after upgrading to itunes 10.x. vista could see xp home share. ipod touch could see xp home share.
neither could see vista home share.
after several hours of authorizing de-authorizing, rebooting router etc, i knew it had to be a firewall thingy with vista as xp was working fine
i went to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2553 and followed the instructions. itunes was already in my vista exception list. on a hunch i deleted the itunes exception and followed the steps to add it again and boom it worked!! i could now see my vista machine from my ipod touch immediately.
something must have screwed up the firewall exception on the upgrade to itunes 10.x
it worked for me, i hope this helps others

Looking for a back up drive for photos and videos that works with time machine, prefer wireless. Time capsule has poor reviews and already have BT hub

Looking for a back up drive for photos and videos that works with time machine, prefer wireless. Time capsule has poor reviews and already have BT hub that serves as a good router. 3gb or 4gb capacity preferred but 2 would suffice.

Plug a NAS into the BT Hub that does TM. Look at Synology.
You just use the wireless of the hub.
But the cheapest solution is still the TC.

Music and videos keep disappearing off my iPhone

I have an 16GB iPhone 5S running iOS 8.1.3. Seems that either since the last iOS update or iTunes update, music and videos keep disappearing off my iPhone. I'll copy stuff on and now, I'll double check that it's staying on the phone, but the next day, my music or video library will contain 'no content'. I'm not syncing any songs or videos and have 'Manually manage...' checked. I've restarted the iPhone and iTunes. It keeps happening. What I have found is that it seems to happen sometime after the songs or videos are copied onto the phone while the phone is still plugged into my MBP. It doesn't seem, and I may be wrong, to happen when the phone is not plugged in to the Mac. Another issue I've found since the upgrading is that the phone rarely syncs the 'last watched' time on any videos anymore. Any ideas about these issues?

I have this problem too but movies and music delete a couple days later. I can watch half a movie one day and the next it disappears. I can also load music and listen to it all one day then they disappear in front of my eyes the next. these have all bern downloaded from the cloud on wifi at home.

Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

Music and video not syncing

musics and videos are still not syncing

I am having a problem syncing my music to my iphone 4s.
Everything else will sync (photos, contract etc) except for the music & video.

Purchased music and videos not playing on ipod!!!!

I had an ipod and bought a video ipod recently. I forgot to put in the disc that came with the new ipod, and now all the songs and videos I bought from Itunes Music store wont play in my ipod. By wont play I mean I try to play it and it goes to a black screen, sometimes for 30 seconds. I have tried restoring my ipod but it did not work. Please help

Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

No volume or music - home button not working. Please help!

So, this problem just started today, COMPLETELY out of the blue. I don't think I touched or did anything, I simply picked my iPod up and for some reason I couldn't hear sound and on my music, there was no volume bar. I could not adjust volume or hear anything. Also, my home button did not work, no matter how times I pressed it. Only some minutes later would it kick in and keep sending me either to my home page or to the search page. For some reason it went back to normal for a few minutes, and now it's like that again. I've tried turning it off and on a few times now. Can anyone help me fix this?

I don't think I've updated mine for a while. It just spontaneously happened. Now my home button actually works, but no volume bar or sound still. It's frustrating, and I really don't want to fully restore my iPod, but I may have to.

Blue tooth for music and video.... yes, it can be done, and phone too

Well they say it can't be done... what? Bluetooth connection from the Iphone
that outputs the Ipod music...
Well when there's a will, there's a way... here's all you need.
1 set of Plantronics 590A bluetooth headset... make sure you get the " A " version of the headset because that version comes with its own bluetooth transmitter.
Also you will need to have an adaptor for the Iphone headphone jack... this would be the Belkin Headpone Adapter.
And of course the Iphone itself.
After getting all of the components together, Turn the Iphone on and goto settings, General, Bluetooth, ON... the Iphone is now discoverable.
Now take the headset and with the power button to the off position, press and hold down the call button ( right side of headset with picture of a phone)
and at the same time turn the power button to ON..
The headset will start to flash and after about 30 seconds the Iphone will show
" headset ", tap it on the Iphone and it will ask for the pass code... put in
4 Zeros... " 0000 "
The Iphone will now show that it is paired with Plantronics 590 headset.
Now go ahead and put the phones on your head, extend the microphone and make a test call...
See it works great.. and the volume buttons on the side of the Iphone control the headset volume, and the headset controls work also... you can tap on the call button on the headset to make a call or cancel the call or mute...
OK, we got the headset to work with the phone so far...
But at this moment your also saying, cool, the phone works but I still don't get any music coming out of the Iphone to these cool stereo headsets...
So lets fix that issue right now...
Take the Headphone adapter and take the small bluetooth transmitter that came with the Headset and plug the transmitter into the adapter and plug the adapter
into the headphone jack of the Iphone...
Turn the bluetooth transmitter to the ON position... now on the Iphone go to the ipod icon, click it and choose a song to play...
Wow, the bluetooth head set is now playing your song in full stereo...
Now have someone call your Iphone... Hey the music stopped playing and you took the call. Now hang up the phone, hey the music has started to play again...
anyway, you get the picture... oh, it also now plays your movies, internet, youtube... ect..ect.. all on your new set of Bluetooth headset, and the headset works fine as a phone headset too, complete with microphone and callback,mute....
enjoy

Cool. Thanks. I'm not so much a phone person so I don't find it inconvenient to just stick the iPhone up to my face to make the sort of brief calls I make or take. But I've always wanted a way to throw my iPod now iPhone safely into a courier bag and listen to music without having to snake the headphone cord out through a flap or zipper, and then have it snag on everything, pulling the earbuds out of my ears. Receiving calls without having to dig out the phone is just an excellent extra perk.
Thanks again. I'll go look up pricing on this model right now. I assume the BT transmitter for the headphones runs on batteries?

Droid Mini notifications for email and text not working

I am having a problem with notification sounds not working for email and text messages with my Droid Mini. I took my original phone to the Verizon shop. They did a factory reset. Sound worked for two days. Went back to Verizon and they reset it again. But they did tell me if it happened again to call Verizon and they would send me a new phone. Well it happened again. Got my new phone just last week. Well yesterday and today the sound notifications for text messages and email is not working on the new phone. Last night I powered the phone off and back on and all was working well until this morning.
This is very upsetting as I really do like this phone. Would like to know what is going on with it. Have checked all the volumes and they are all up.
Is there a fix for this.
Thank you.
Barbara

For Gmail it is: open Gmail > menu > settings > your gmail address > notifications check box is unchecked.
There are some additional notification options for labels too.
