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.

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.

Volume slider and playback volume...

Hi
I recently purchased a 120GB Classic and, due to the fact that I don't hear too well, you won't be surprised I find it too quiet (if only I'd known about the 'cap' beforehand so I could have got one from the USA...).
I bought a half-decent pair of headphones, which has helped, and also got an inline amp (which increases the 'noise' as much as the volume, so I'm not that sold on it...). Anyway, I had the idea of bumping up the volume on iTunes and re-syncing all the songs, so I did.
I wasn't sure what the effect on quality would be, so I knocked it up about halfway and resynced the iPod. Which took forever.
I'm pretty sure the iPod is now louder, but I may be imagining it - I'm tempted to put the bar all the way to the top, but if the increase is purely psychological it seems a waste of time (and it does take time!).
So, does the volume slider affect iPod playback volume?
Thanks for reading, and thanks again if you can help.

So, does the volume slider affect iPod playback volume?
No. If you increase the volume of a song in iTunes, all you do is make it so that the maximum volume on the iPod is reached before the volume bar is at full.
For example, if you increase a track's volume in iTunes by +100% then when it's on the iPod you will find that that track hits it's maximum volume level at about half volume, and turning the iPod up to full volume will not increase the volume any higher after this point. A track which has not had it's volume altered in iTunes will reach exactly the same sound level, although of course you will need to turn the volume level of the iPod to full in this instance.

My ipod touch 1g has lost the volume slider since i updated to 3.1.3

I updated my Ipod touch 1st gen yesterday to 3.1.3 after it being sat in a drawer for a while and now I have no volume slider. I can hear the music but it is very very low. Its does not pop up when I plug in a head phone jack like its supposed to and I have restored it 3 times. Anyone got any ideas on what I can do?

Yes I restored it to factory settings more than once failing everytime with the volume slider still missing. It was there before I updated the Ipod yesterday and now its gone since 3.1.3 so im sure its not hardware. There are alot of posts about this problem and no fix for it I have used 3 differant sets of working head phones.
Is there no way to downgrade the firmware?
Thanks

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.

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.

Volume slider not working in ipod app

Here's an odd one - since the last update, occassionally with headphones plugged in the slider in the ipod app won't work. I can slide it, but then it goes back to max. The physical vol buttons still work, but the change isn't reflected in the slider. Anybody else see this?

Yes, I have seen this quite a bit. There are times when I am listening to music on the iPod app, when I try to move the volume slider one way, it doesn't want to move. It will move a little but not freely as to where I want it to go. To correct this, I just do a reset with both buttons. Not sure on the cause of the problem, but the reset makes the problem go away.

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.

"jittery" iPod volume slider in iPhone 3gs

Hi
I bought my iPhone 3gs a couple of months ago.
I love all the great features it has and I can honestly say my life has become much simpler with this product
However, I have a minor concern.
Just sometimes, when I am listening to music on my iPhone, the volume slider acts all funny.
By acting funny meaning the little circle slider gets all jittery and I can't control the volume. It acts all strange and messed up.
Thankfully I can "reset" the iPod part.
But it gets really annoying to do that everytime it happens.
I have the latest software update installed, and I still have this problem.
Does anyone else have this strange bug?
Hopefully Apple can listen to my minor concern.
Thank you for reading.

I have the same problem on my iphone the volume slider desappears or hide off when its not conected at the dock. The thing is that I can make a calls with not problem and I can hear the ring but if my iphone its not in the dock I can not play music either videos. Its the only way to fix it.. doing a restore and update ??? because if I do that my phone it's gonna get blocked. and also a message appears ( this accessory is not made for this iphone ......swich a airplane mode blablabla..) I dont know if it's the same problem?
please someone help me
thanks

Having trouble setting up the volume on my ipod...

when i put on the sound check on on my pod it really knocks the volume way down, and i find if i boost the volume to my music tracks in my itunes settings {even with sound check off} that a certain percentage of my volume control {roughly the last ten percent} on the slider doesn't work... its as if itunes is trying to keep all my music at the same volume even with sound check switched off, even after i have manually boosted the volume on my music... is it me? is there a way round this? ideally i just want to boost the volume on my music and have it all play out at roughly the same volume, but it doesn't quite seem to work... any help would be much appreciated???

if i boost the volume to my music tracks in my itunes settings {even with sound check off} that a certain percentage of my volume control {roughly the last ten percent} on the slider doesn't work..
Correct, using that method all you do is make it so that the maximum volume on the iPod is reached before the volume bar is at full.
For example, if you increase a track's volume in iTunes by +100% then when it's on the iPod you will find that that track hits it's maximum volume level at about half volume, and turning the iPod up to full volume will not increase the volume any higher after this point. A track which has not had it's volume altered in iTunes will reach exactly the same sound level, although of course you will need to turn the volume level of the iPod to full in this instance.
All iPods manufactured for the European market have a volume cap applied to them. It's a European directive from those nice people in Brussels who make sure we can't damage our delicate little ears.
If you have an older iPod you can use goPod to remove the cap on iPods that have this volume limitation. That should make your iPod maximum volume louder.
The soundcheck option will lower the volume on your iPod somewhat in order to level out the volume of different songs. There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
For Windows there is mp3/aacGain.

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..

IPad volume doesn't work with 3rd party apps & volume slider gone.

After even a Slide to Power Off, I'll reboot the iPad and I'll launch, say, The Daily Show app. What I encounter is that there is no volume. The physical volume switch has no affect. The volume slider in the video player has been replaced by the word "iPad..." with the ellipse. If I hit the AirPlay button, instead of seeing the menu options "iPad, AirPort Express, Apple TV," I see "AirPort Express, Apple TV, iPad..." (again, with the ellipse) with the last item selected. Selecting either AirPort Express or Apple TV does not take (and, again there is no sound from the iPad even with "iPad..." selected. The volume slider on the multitask bar is also gone.
If I go to the native iPad Video app, everything looks and works normally. If I then go, say, to the ABC Player app and launch a video, I get the same thing that I get with the Daily Show app.
Any ideas?

You havn't got the old old rotation lock switch 'on' have you ? That mutes notifications now (but not the Apple iPod or Videos app), so may be causing the problems that you're having (as I havn't got those apps I can't check). Rotation lock is now on the taskbar

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.

Where has my iTunes mini volume slider gone?

I have iTunes 11.0.4 on my Macbook. I use the mini box all the time, and until today, a slider would appear in the 11.0.4 mini box if I ran the cursor over it. (Not, in my opinion, an improvement over the previous version, where it was visible all the time, but oh, well.)
Today I opened iTunes and the volume slider in the mini was gone. Can anyone tell me how to get it back without wasting time going to the regular iTunes window (or having to adjust the volume on my computer)?
I found a thread from December, 2012 complaining about the missing volume slider and asking why Apple would do such a dumb thing. But that would be so dumb, so totally unnecessary, and such an inconvenience to so many people that I can't believe Apple would do such a thing, or at least fail to get it patched by now, 7 months later. (Tell us it ain't so, Apple.)
Besides, it was there yesterday, and I haven't updated anything in the last 24 hours. Anyone know where my slider might have gone to? Thanks!!

Hummel, Hummel!
