Volume problems on my Nano 8 GB

I tried everything to get the volume of my Nano 8 GB to a decent value, but all my efforts have been unsuccessful and I still hardly hear artists like Iron Maiden and Metallica when walking outdoors.
Here is what I tried:
-I checked the volume of my MP3s, but they were all fine on the PC;
-I reset the memory of the iPod twice;
-I tried to put +100% volume on every song using iTunes;
-I tried to search a program so as to unlock the volume limitations on european iPod (I'm in Italy and here there are no laws that limit the volume of portable MP3s readers in any way), but they weren't compatible with Nano 2G;
-I tried to exchange the headset with a friend of mine who has got a Nano 1G with a decent volume: he was hearing fine with mine and I was hearing at the same (low) volume with his.
-I triend to send my Nano to the Support, but after one month they sent it back to me saying there's no hardware problem and suggesting to check my headset.
I don't really know what to do and even what to think, since I'm still sure it's a hardware problem, but I'd rather avoid to send it again to the Support, since they'll probably tell me the same they did. Any idea?

All iPods sold within the EU countries have a volume cap on them that makes the max volume lower than the ones sold in non-EU countries. At this time there is no way to remove the cap. So Apple was correct when they sent your iPod back staying there was nothing wrong with it. If you do a search on this issue on this forum you will find threads discussing this issue at length. You can also google the topic and find articles and other discussion forums about it. There isn't much you can do at this point except either try and get one that is sold outside of the EU or wait until a "hack" is created to remove the cap. The current ones do not work for the 2nd gen nano's at this time.

Volume Problem Appears to Be Cause By Belkin Cassette Adapter

I've read numerous posts about people having problems with the Nano volume levels. What I've experienced is that I cannot hear anything until I've set the volume to at least 50%, and it's still not very loud even at 100%. I have installed the latest update, including the Nike running component. As many have noted, despite barely audible music, the voice that speaks to you when using the Nike adapter is deafening.
I have yet to see a resolution of this problem on any posts. Some have suggested doing a soft reset. I called Apple support and spoke with a woman in India who walked me through doing a complete restore via the computer. This worked fine for awhile, until I used my Belkin cassette adapter in the car this morning. On the way to work the volume level was fine. I then stopped for Starbucks, and when I started the car, I could barely hear the music. I tried my headphones, and once again the volume level is barely audible. I guess I have to do another complete restore, which is a hassle. Has anyone else had a problem with the Belkin? How does the Belkin cassette adapter work with the iPod volume control? Is this a software issue?

Its as if someone was using a mobile phone or vacuum cleaner on the same plug. It looks like the graphics card is dying, although I have ploaded all the latest driers for my card. Ive had it looked at by our local shop and they rean it for two days with no problem. (they used another psu) Could it be as sinmple as a faulty psu? Could this cause this problem.
Hello Daixa, If the repair shop ran the system for two days with another power supply and the system did not display the issue, it could very well be the result of a faulty power supply.
Power supplies are not all that expensive compaired to other components of the system, and some HP power supplies do tend to become faulty after a few years of use.
Just some thoughts.

Anyone know when Apple will bring out a patch to fix the volume problem you get on mac mini after downloading OS 10.8.5

Anyone know when Apple will bring out a patch to fix the volume problem you get on mac mini after downloading OS 10.8.5?

Only Apple knows the answer to whether or not there is a verified problem and if so when will a fix be released. As is their custom, Apple does not talk about these things and the rules of these communities prohibit speculation about future udates or upgrades. It is probably safe to say if a fix is deemed necessary it will be called OS X 10.8.6.

Trying to backup despite Volume problems

I appear to have some volume problems with my internal HDD.
When I try to diagnose and fix it with Disk Utility the error is:
"Incorrect number of thread records" & "Invalid volume directory count"
Though the volume needs repairing, disk utility can't do it (nor can TechTool Pro http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=42&func=view&id= 525&catid=6)
Since I can't fix it I think I understand that it would be best to back things up, reformat the drive.
My question is esssentially academic. Would backing things up copy the volume problem I'm experiencing? or would it even allow me to copy things correctly? And how does one know what file was damaged or corrupted?

Good questions. Repairing the HD problem is something Disk Warrior could possibly correct. It's the best app. for resolving directory problems.
Did Disk Utility specifically tell you that it couldn't fix the drive, or did it simply report the error. If it's the latter, I would rerun Disk Utility as many times as necessary to get a clean run (no problems). This may not be possible given what was reported in your Micromat referenced link, however, it's worth a try.
Given the current state of the directory, you would not be able to create a clean clone backup of the drive. I suspect you would see an error during the copying. You could though drag/drop specific folders/files to the drive to the extent your HD cooperates. IMO, a "must" for any maintenance strategy.
Do you have a current cloned backup of your system. If you do, you could always copy it over the existing drive. If it is "somewhat current", you could drag/drop important data files on your computer's HD to either external media or another parition on the external, then recopy the clone to the HD. Afterward, move the data files back to their original locations.

Audio volume problem in Premiere elements 12

How can I reduce or increase volume in the soundtrack???

Sorry for my English but I hope you understandthe following.
I have for the moment no time to go through your comments and ideas, but I certainly will do the coming days.
For good order I’ll explain my problem more in detail: (working with Window’s 7)
When I use Tools>smartmix, I change Audio 1 in “forground”, Comments in “foreground”, Soundtrack in “Background”, Audio 2 and 3 in “Background”. So far so good!.
Next step is: edit>preferences>audio>smartmixer, and the only thing I can change is “milliseconds (i.e. 10)”, “mix pause (i.e. 5 sec)”, and “reduce background in % (i.e. 90%)”. So far so good again!
The volume sound of the audio track is indeed reduced when there is a conversation in the clip, but not enough, so still too loud, certainly when the conversation stops, the volume sound is far too loud.
What do I want:
a) Remain the original volume from the conversations etc. in the clip, so don’t change anything in here.
b) Reduce the volume to the level I like!
I realise, this looks an easy and simple question, but I can’t fide out hou too lower only the volume in a soudtrack!
Waiting your reply and many thanks in advance
Regards

Itunes problems with new nano, purchased songs

Hello all. I am having a few problems with my itunes and newly purchased nano that hopefully you guys can give me some advice on. First of all, when i plug in my nano, it does not recognize it unless i close itunes and reopen it. Then, it takes a few minutes to open and acts like it is a new nano every time i open it. Meaning, it asks me to name the nano and asks me to apply all the settings etc. After that it works. I then can eject it. If I then re open itunes, with my nano not plugged in, itunes thinks that my nano is plugged in and says its corrupted. If i attempt to do anything in itunes, it freezes up.
In an unrelated problem, i am forced to authorize my computer to play my purchased songs every time i open itunes. It never remembers when I authorize it.
Thanks in advance for your help i definitely appreciate it!

OK, could not resist. I did go ahead and put my old run history back into the new & now restored Nano. No problems. Everything is fine. (Be remember, this is not something that is supported or approved by Apple or Nike.)
There may be no connection between adding the old run data files to the new Nano and the sound & freezing problems. Others have already complained about those.
However, what I will say is that you should never mess around with the Nike+ xml "Preferences" file or the "Best" file. These are invisible for a reason. You can put your old xml run data files into your "latest" folder and thus get them on your new Nano, but you CANNOT change your Totals on your new Nano no matter what you muck around with. However, if you try it and things go wrong, doing a "restore" should save the day.
And it should save the day for sound problems and recurring Nano freezes unless you have a defective Nano.

IPod Shuffle 3rd Gen - Volume problems

I have an iPod Shuffle 3rd gen.
This week it started to develop a problem that I am not able to turn the volume uo or down.
I tested with another earphone and a brand new earpod (that are working properly in an iPhone 4S).
I also tried to restore the iPod. And this have note hekped me.
What should I do to fix this volume issue?
Thanks

Hey paralelopipak,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the headphones have a volume problem only on this iPod. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

You are still under warranty. Just take the iPod to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Iphone 3gs Speaker Low Volume Problem.

I Have Iphone 3gs. When I Updated It To 6.1.3 The Speaker Low Volume Problem Starts. When Anybody Call us It Rings But When We Accept The Call The Low Voiume Problem Starts. So Please Help Me To Fix This Problem.

Nope. Can't say that it does. I think I have about 100 charge cycles on it and it still performs like near new. How long have you had your 3GS?

Continuing Speakerphone Volume Problem

After anxiously waiting three months for a firmware/software update that would fix the speakerphone volume problem I updated my two iPhones to v. 1.1.1. Unfortunately, neither of my iphones showed any increase in speakerphone volume.
We spoke to an Apple employee at our nearest Apple store (also the biggest and busiest Apple store in our area), and found out that if we wanted a speakerphone that we could use we should bring the phones in and have the Genius verify the low volume and give us a "part substitution" (which meant an opened iphone).
Instead (for various reasons) we decided to buy another IPhone, figuring "what are the chances that we would get three iPhones with very low speakerphones?" Also figuring that this very busy Apple store would have the latest IPhones available, with the speakerphone volume fixed. Apparently three is not the charm. Our new iPhone's speakerphone volume was just as low as our other two iPhones.
And our newest iPhone had the 1.1.1 update on it from the start. So I guess we will now try option (1).
For those of you who have had problems with the speakerphone volume and brought the IPhone back to the Apple store, were you able to find one with good speakerphone volume? I sure hope so!
Thanks!
Ashley

When people started complaining initially about the speakerphone issue. I brought my phone to my local Apple Store and the guy at the Genius Bar and I compared the speakerphone volume with the display phones. We did notice that mine was quieter than the rest. Because my phone was past the 14 day return period, my phone was sent out.
In all honesty, if there was an improvement, I would say it's very minimal. Long story short, I was able to swap out my phone for a brand new one and the speaker volume is relatively the same. Did the firmware 1.1.1 make it any louder? Not really. What I do notice is that the alert volumes have improved and that volume went up. But the speakerphone volume remained unchanged.
Personally this phone wasn't built for speakerphone use and you'll do better buying a bluetooth headset or a speakerphone instead. It's acceptable in a quiet environment but trying to use the speakerphone in public is out of the question.

Charging problems with 2gb nano

I have two ipod's and my nano will not charge when connected to my computer. It does charge however, when I connect it to my ac adapter but it gives me a weird plug icon on top of the battery icon. The only time I have seen this before is when the battery is fully charged. I know the battery is not fully charged because it only lasts a few hours and then gives me the "ipod is out of battery power" message. Any suggestions?

I had a problem with my nano,it wouldn't turn on so I reset it and held dowm the menu button and it turned on but now the only way it will turn on is if I reset it and hold the menu button down after the apple logo appears but no buttons are broken.Did you find a solution as to why it doesn't turn on after you get the apple logo? It would be appreciated. thx

i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone?

6th Generation ipod nano volume problem!

When I'm listening to music on my 6th generation ipod nano the volume gets super loud without my doing anything!! Can anyone help me with this????

Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store. Let them see what you are seeing. Only this time............
Prior to leaving the Apple Store: ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***

Problems using new nano during workouts

I bought my new nano for more capacity than my 1st gen, which still works fine. But the touch screen does not work as well for me as the clickwheel did. The best location for the nano is clipped to my waistband, and I can operate the clickwheel by feel, to change volume or skip or repeat selections, which I do frequently during long workouts. But the touchscreen goes to sleep, and in any case I can't find the controls without taking off the new nano and looking at the screen. Sweaty clothes rubbing over it also actuate the touchscreen menus sometimes. So I've given up on using it and have gone back to using my old nano. Too bad, Apple presents the new nano as a workout tool but it certainly doesn't work that way for me. I'll try to figure out some way to get rid of it and get a slightly older refurb-ed nano with a clickwheel.

I'm sitting at my computer right now with my 6th Generation Nano (Product Red) and my Ultimate Ears headphones and that adapter. I'm able to skip to the next song, return to the start of that song, pause, hear voiceover, raise the volume, lower the volume, ...Works like a champ and I've never had a problem with sweat getting into the switches when I used it with my 3rd Generation Shuffle OR with my 6th Generation Nano.
I do suggest you use Google and find a plastic docking plug for the Nano when you use it while working out. It says that about the adapter because that is what it was developed for. It will work just fine with the Etymotic.
