Volume limit unable to lock

My IPOD Classic was set at a high volume limit. I did select a combination code to lock it. However when I click play to hear my songs, the audio was not as high as I had selected.
As an example from a scale of 1 to 10, I set my volume limit at 9. Locked it and click on play. The audio was pretty low. I went back to volume limit and unlock my combination, than saw the scale was back to say, "4".
Anyone having this problem? I can't seem to keep the volume limit at 9.

This confused me too. The Settings/Volume limit screen is slightly unintuitive IMHO.
The small triangle on the bottom of the bar always shows the current volume limit.
The horizontal dark bar always shows the current volume you're listening at. If you modify the current volume with the click wheel this volume change is temporary and the volume you were previously listening at is restored when you exit from Settings/Volume limit.

Ipod-Nano-4GB volume limit locked

Hi,
For my Ipod-4GB nano...somebody locked the volume limit.I am unable hear the songs.
How to unlock that code? I tried to unlock with so many tries, but i am unable to do that.
Help me in this thing.

"Go to settings on main menu, then hit Volume Limit and adjust it as wanted."
And how do you do that if the combination has been forgotten?
If you set a combination, you must enter it before you can change or remove the maximum volume limit.

IPod Nano Lock Code for Volume Limit change

Does anyone know what the 4-digit code on the Nano is as it comes from Apple, or know where in the documentation I can find it ? I want to change the volume limit and don't know what the code is and can't find it in any of the packaging material that came with the Nano...
...I don't want to have to restore it, and lose all of the files I have on it and have to re-load it from scratch.
Thanx !

It doesn't come locked so there should not be a limit on it. Restore it in iTunes to clear it if you have one. This is a 1st Generation Nano?

IPod Nana - Playback Volume Limit - Changes Locked

I have been having problems with the Playback Volume limit. I set it at 50%, but then it was playing too softly. When I went to adjust, there was no Menu option to modify this. I saw another post that said to press and hold the Menu + center button, until the apple appears. This brought back the menu option.
However, I do not remember putting a password (4 digit number) on it. I tried the combo I use for my iPhone, and I guess I used something different.
Does anyone know how to erase the Volume Limit Combination Lock?
Thanks!

Try 0000 as the combination.
If that does not work, you will need to Restore it to reset the combo.

Ipod nano volume limit locked

Hi
I think the kids have set a combination code on the volume limit of my iPod Nano. Can I get it off and how? If I have to do some kind of reset can I re-sync my playlists from my iTunes library? Have over 1000 songs on and would hate to have to import/purchase again.
All help gratefully received.
Thanx.

Restore your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

How do I get to the Volume Limit again (iPod Red Nano)

I set this under Volume Limit in the Settings section but then when I went to change it, my thumb slipped and I accidentally set the 4 digit number for the Screen Lock (which I have not set) which was the 1st option. Now when I go back to Volume Limit to change it, I only see the Screen Lock option.
How do I get to change the volume limit again.
iBook 500 Mhz Ser#UV1331R1LCD Mac OS X (10.4.8)

This is exactly my problem. I have a newly acquired 1st generation Nano. I followed the directions from the knowledge base to the letter. But after confirming the combination, the screen does NOT return to the volume bar to allow a change of the volume limit, and I can find no work around.
Further input would be greatly appreciated.

Volume limit and contact

Hi

Connect the iPod to your computer an start iTunes.
In the summary Tab of the iPod page in iTunes you will see the 'Restore' option.
This will erase the entire contents of your iPod and reinstall the software for you.
Before you do that though, just try connecting the iPod to the computer and opening iTunes as this is supposed to unlock the iPod as described here :-
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302255
Unlocking iPod
You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.
If you can't unlock iPod using either of these methods, you can restore your iPod to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to iPod.
If you want to change the primary computer that your iPod is associated with, do this:
Restore your iPod. Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
Open iTunes and synchronize.

How can I over ride the combination code to access the volume limit?

I want to increase my volume limit but there is a combination lock that shows up and I dont know what the code is! Is there some way I can over ride this and increase my volume limit? It's hard to hear any music.

The only way to bypass the volume limit passcode is to restore the device to factory settings in iTunes.

Why does the Volume Limit keep Changing?

Hello, I have an I-pod Classic 80 GB and the maxium volume limit will change from time to time on it's own. I want it at maxium so I go to volume settings move the little arrow to the limit and press the center to lock it in and fiddle with that stupid combination crap but it will never stay put! So, how can I keep the volume settings from changing?

(a) You will always get a different client side port, that's normal.
(b) the Registry port is 1099 but RMI servers are exported on a system-selected port unless you specify one. If your Registry and RMI servers are in the same JVM they can share ports

How to get rid of EU volume limit?

I'm currently resiziding in France, and I want to purchase an iPhone 4S here. But I went to the Apple Store and checked the max volume, which is considerably lower than my USA iPod Nano due to EU volume limits.
Now my question is this
Are there any legitimate ways to get rid of EU volume limit? For example would it get rid of it if I restored the phone's firmware when I'm in USA or any non-EU country due to IP check? Or is the firmware the same all over the world and just checks for the devices serial number to see if it's a EU model so it wouldn't matter?
Jailbreaking does get rid of the volume limit through some SSH trick, but I don't want to jailbreak my iPhone simply to remove the volume cap.
And before someone starts with the entire "Why do you need to remove the cap? Do you want to get deaf?" argument, I'd recommend to try to listen to classical music, especially quiet passages, on a subway, with a EU capped iDevice.

I recently took delivery of a new 160GB iPod Classic, and was shocked at how low the volume is. Impossible to even hear the music above London traffic, it was ridiculous (and my hearing is fine). I was on the verge of returning the thing to Apple as useless, when I discovered a little gadget called the FiiO E1 headphone amplifier. It only costs just over a tenner from Amazon, and it works very well. It plugs into the dock socket, and you then plug your headphones into the FiiO gismo. Bingo! Music that you can actually hear. Strange that the EU is trying to ban musical enjoyment, eh? And annoying, after having forked out a lot of money for the iPod itself, that I then had to buy a peripheral device to make it work properly. And even odder, a 6th Generation iPod Nano that I bought only a year ago had no such problems.
As a footnote, I use Grado headphones, and there seems to be no distortion or degradation of sound using the FiiO device. My advice would be to try one out, as it's so cheap. It has a couple of design irritations, in that you can't lock' the controls, but it's working for me, certainly as an interim solution.

If you're talking about the Maximium Volume Limit:
Setting the Maximum Volume Limit
You can set a limit for the maximum volume on iPod shuffle. You can also set a

Volume limit stuck on minimum

I've seen lots on here about issues with the volume limit feature. Like others, when I first got my new Nano (bought in Houston, TX) I found the volume to be too high. People around me in the office could hear the music.
I tried fiddling with it and turned the limit to minimum, but it was still too loud. Move forward 2 weeks. Haven't used it much recently. Tried to go for a run (where the higher volume is actually good) and found that I was getting almost nothing. Tried resetting the VL but now it's completely locked on minimum and I can't change it.
Is this a 5G bug? So many people with VL problems, surely Apple has some kind of answer.

Ah, nuts.
Just tried resetting the Nano and VL has gone back to a default position. Volume control seems to be working, too. Typical.
But I still need to know what happened to the Limit function. How did it get stuck on minimum and how do I avoid it in the future? Or is this part of the "Euro volume limit" and it occurred when I connected to my PC? If so, they must think all iPod listeners have some kind of superhearing.
If anyone has ideas on this VL issue, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks

HT203681 Volume limit comes on with Bluetooth earphones on iPod generation 7 and won't go off

WWhen I connect Bluetooth earphones to iPod generation 7 the volume limit comes on automatically and won't go off

Hi craig9798,
If you would like to change or turn off the Volume Limit on your iPod nano 7th Gen, you may find the following section from the User Guide helpful (pg. 25, PDF):
Set the maximum volume limit for iPod nano:
1 On the Home screen, tap Settings > Music > Volume Limit. The volume control shows the maximum volume limit.
2 Drag the slider left to lower the maximum volume limit, or right to raise the limit.
Note: In some countries, you can limit the maximum headset volume to the EU recommended
level. Tap Settings > Music, then tap the switch in the EU Volume Limit section to turn it on.
Require a passcode to change the volume limit:
1 After setting the maximum volume, tap Lock Volume Limit.
2 In the screen that appears, tap a four-digit passcode.
If you tap a number by mistake, tap , then tap the number you intended.
You can keep tapping to erase all numbers and return to the Volume Limit screen without setting a passcode.
3 When you’re prompted to reenter the passcode, tap the numbers again.
Remove the volume limit:
1 On the Home screen, tap Settings > Music > Volume Limit.
2 Drag the slider all the way to the right.
If you set a passcode, tap Unlock Volume Limit first, enter your passcode, then drag the slider. If you forget the passcode, you can restore iPod nano. See Updating and restoring iPod
software on page 59.
