Weird volume problem

I have version 4.0.1 on an iPhone 3GS and am experiencing a repeatable bug. When I do certain actions such as hit "shuffle" on the iPod music player, the max volume goes down. But, then, the ring associated with receiving an email will make it go back up.
When I workout in a noisy environment, I need all the volume I can get. So I end up having to email myself to make the volume go up.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem. I can be listening to music or podcast via the speaker and when I receive text message or new mail notification, the volume gets louder.
Very strange...

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

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

I also tried to restore the iPod. And this have note hekped me.
What should I do to fix this volume issue?

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.

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?

Weird audio problem during calls

I have a weird audio problem and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or could help...
My wife and I both have iPhone 5's and sometimes (not all the time) when she calls me (or I call her), it connects, but no matter which audio input I choose (phone, bluetooth, speaker, headphones), I cannot hear her, but she can hear me... I hang up, call back (and when I call, there is no dialing sound, nor any other phone sounds) and it's the same thing. Sometimes restarting the phone works, other times I have to restart it 3-4 times before it'll work again. I try different things during these calls, like turning on/off bluetooth and/or wifi (pretty much anything I can think of that would make a difference), but nothing seems to help.
The (other) weird part is that after the last time of this happening, I tried calling my iPhone with my office phone and it worked fine, so then I immediately call my wife back with my iPhone and it was doing the same thing again. I called her back using my office phone and could talk to her fine...
This problem has been going on for a few months now and I have tried restoring the phone a couple times (and I am on the latest iOS) and sadly, that hasn't done anything to help... Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? I'd make an appointment for the problem, but since it doesn't do it all the time, I don't know what good it would do... But it is getting very frustrating!
Thanks for any help!
-Jason

Thanks for the response! It happened again yesterday... It seems to be happening more frequently in the past few weeks now.
I checked the link and have tried all of the things listed at one point or another over the past few months. I did just check my Carrier settings and it said it had updated (it's on 14.1), but I am not sure when that happened (could have been today, could have been after my last restore last week, not sure). I'll keep my fingers crossed that maybe that fixed it...
If it continues to act up, would you recommend that I bring the phone in to an Apple store or an AT&T store? I bought the phone through Apple, but my carrier is AT&T (and if you suspect that the problem may be with the cellular conection), maybe the AT&T store would be the better choice?
I really wish the problem would be more consistant or go away, cause trying to get the problem solved is driving me crazy!

Slooow internet and weird mouse problems?

I recently upgraded my iMac to Leopard (10.5.4) and started having weird mouse problems. At start up, mouse would be frozen in upper left corner. I'd restart, switch mice, restart, over and over. I use a Wacom tablet w cordless mouse plus Apples alum cordless keyboard. Eventually I tried switching USB ports for my Wacom tablet and the mouse was OK. I have learned that when this problem occurs, I need to shut down and unplug everything. That seems to solve it. Anyone know why? ALSO, ever since upgrading I have found the Internet to be appallingly slow. I have 2 GB memory and just upped my internet speed (supposedly) through Embarq.

hmm, what is a mouse usb or a keyboard usb?
arent all the usb ports same?
I really wish to show you how this happens it is really fun, but also annoying. especially when I am playing a game. it is interesting to watch the screen when suddenly all the world starts rotating when you are playing a first person shot'm up.

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.

KT6V Weird boot problems

Hi..
I'm having this weird boot problem (and no it doesn't seem to be the standard one)
OK..
I have the following :
AMD Athlon 2000+
KT6V LSR mainboard
2x 256 Crucial PC2700 memory
IDE Hard Disk (120gb segate)
Creative 5700ultra Graphics card (AGP)
Cd Rom
Chieftec 400w PSU
WinXP Pro
If I set my CPU FSB to 100mhz (everything else on auto).. win Xp pro boots fine and all is pretty good except that my chip is now seen as a lowly 1.25ghz..
If I then set my CPU FSB to 133 or 166 then the machine boots (ie it beeps etc..).. starts to load windows xp (I get the logo and that's when the problem happens) and either black screens (ie.. nothing and the monitor turns off) or blue screens with the windows message saying that windows has detected a hardware fault and has halted the system..
I know my memory, chip, heatsink etc all work because just over an hour ago they all worked fine in my KT3 ultra.
What is going on as I've tried almost everything to try and solve this, with the only option to set the FSb to 100mhz which is incorrect for my CPU.
How do I fix this.
I've looked through the forum but this is not the same problem as simple reboots.. this is weird.
If I can't fix this then I guess it'll be send it back.. which is a shame because I like MSi motherboards.
Thanks
Slippery

Hi..
I've checked the CPU heatsink.. and nothings wrong !
(Can't check the voltage but I know the PSU is Ok as I did run it in a custom case with 4 Cd writters, 4 HDs, loads of lights etc.. before I moved to this new plain case tonight)
What's weird is that set at 100FSb it's fine but at 133 or 166 it just crashes after the loading XP logo is displayed. Up until that point it's all fine.
But why does it run Ok at 100mhz and not 133mhz ?
Please help.. before I end up fixing this with a hammer !
Thanks

Strange volume problem on Logic pro 8.0.2

Hey, I've been having this weird problem for a while and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. Basically, I start a new project lay down some audio tracks as well as software tracks and everything works fine. Then randomly, when I open a new audio track the volume is all screwed up.
I'll explain, when I play into it normally it comes out at normal volume, however when I record it plays back at a volume so low it's barely audible. Other things I've noticed is that the volume on the mixing desk no longer has any affect on the volume of my sound on that track, also soloing the track makes it play at the volume that it comes out when recorded (i.e almost silent). -(this problem then occurs on every audio track I open afterwards)
1.I've also got a list of things I know it's not. I know it's not my sound card because I've used two different ones and the problem re occurs.
2.I know it's not my computer because it happens on both my lap top and my desk top.
3.I know it's nothing to do with the speakers, or FX pedals I'm using.
Theres no difference between the way I'm opening the new track and the way I have opened previous ones (that worked fine) in the project. Oh yeah, and the most weird thing is I after the problem occurs it happens on every new track I open.
So at the moment audio tracks 1, 2 and 3 all work fine. But I've tried opening more and more tracks and all of them have this problem.
Someone please help, it's bloody infuriating when I'm half way through a song. Thank you very much.
Alex

There are separate volume settings for a track when it's record-enabled and when not (the same fader).
This is so that you can have different relative volumes during recording to help you play the part, without affecting the mix you've already set up for playback.
Could it be that this is tripping you up?

Volume problem with Music Player on N95

Hi all,
I am puzzled with a problem I'm having with my N95. The problem appeared after I performed an upgrade on the phone.
The thing is that the right side Volume keys do not work when using the Music player. I know the keys work since the zoom is working on the camera (the same keys). But what is really weird is that if I use the File Manager and open a music file, hence opening the Music player then the Volume keys work fine.
The problem is when I access the Music player either by the Media button on the handset or via the Menu > Music > Music Player.
This is driving me nuts I have tried to update the firmware with the same load without success, I just updated the firmware to the latest version V 30.0.018 hoping that it would be fixed but it didn't
Anyone have the same problem??
Thanks,

Hi pavelosk,
I solved the problems on mine. It wasn't easy and is not a straightforward solution. After several attempts everything is ok now. I had to restore the phone to original settings. But also you need to remove all media in the phone. Somehow when the files or links to files are corrupted (often by downloading music via PC suite) this in turns gets the phone in this weird status. It is best to download music files to the phone via a data transfer.
Anyways you need to make sure all music files are deleted and that from within the music player library you cannot see any music file. It must state 0 Music files.
Once you have got rid of this, then I had to load the firmware several times until it worked. I am not sure but it happened to me that there was a new firmware available, but it didn't fix it on it's own. I had to remove the files and re-flash it like 4 times before the issue dissappeared. I know it isn't a step by step guide. But no one else knows what the problem is exactly. I am happy I managed to fix mine (after more than 4 month of trying!!!)
Good luck.

Macbook Air weird audio problem?

Hello all,
This is about an issue I have with my speakers, I realize there are alot of similar questions out there, but I have yet to find a solution, and since none of the cases I have read completely matched my situation I thought I might as well make a new post.
About a year ago my laptop (Macbook Air 2,1 late 2008) speakers suddenly gave out during a movie, I always assumed I blew my speakers because of the weird sound they made right before they died. Since then I have always used headphones or external speakers whenever I needed audio, but it does get a bit tedious at times..
Just recently I was browsing through my preferences when I noticed something odd. In the sound panel the output name was referred to as "Internal Speakers" but under output type it said "Headphone Port". Now, whenever I plug in my headphones or external speakers it says "Headphones" under output name and "Headphone Port" under type, which makes sense. But if it were just my speakers that are physically broken, shouldn't it still say "Built-In Output" under output type if the headphones are unplugged?
I was wondering/hoping that this might be some kind of software problem after all, and that it could still be fixed. Maybe somebody on the forums would be so kind as to give me their thoughts on this? Please note that I do not hear a chime on start up, I can adjust my volume just fine and there is no red light coming out my headphone port (I've had this issue before and was abe to solve it). I have already tried an NVRAM reset, but no luck..
Is there anything else I could try?
Thanks,
Genkakuzai

UPDATE: I performed an smc reset as well, the audio type change to "Built-in", but shouldn't it say "Built-in Out"?
