Why is the volume bar gone?

The volume bar has disappeared. Instead there are 5 small dots at the bottom of the screen when I'm listening to a song. What does this mean and how do I fix it? Everything else seems fine. Thanks

It seems that you may have accidentally struck the center button a few times. Try hitting this button a few times and cycling through the different screens (the five dots are part of the rating screen; hitting the center button once more should return you to the main screen).

  • Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?

    Since subscribing to iTunes match my ipad2 no longer offers the AirPlay option on the volume bar within Music, rendering my bowers Wilkins speakers useless for both iTunes and spotify. Why is this and how can I fix it?
    Apple made no mention of this being an expected issue, so I can only assume it's unintentional. Otherwise I wouldn't have subscribed to Match in the first place!

    How big is your library?  I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
    - Backup your library.  Always a good idea before messing with things.  
    - Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.  This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one.  Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
    - Add a few albums into this new library.  Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
    - Activate Match on this new library.  You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
    - At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
    If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.   

  • My iPhone 4s no longer has sound for any of the applications but it does have sound for phone functions.  Where is the setting for app sound?  I have gone to the multitask screen and the volume bar is empty.

    I recently found my phone outside in light rain (it had been there about 20 minutes).  It had some glitches at first, however after letting it rest overnight it seemed to mostly recover.  The one problem I am having is that I no longer have sound for any of my applications.  I do have sound for phone fuctions, and I am able to use the speaker for phone functions. 
    When I am in my applications, including music/videos, the only way I can hear is if I use my earbuds.  I am able to make a video and it will record sound just fine.
    When I go to the multitask screen, the volume bar is empty and I cannot adjust it using the side buttons (even though in settings I have that feature activated). I completely reset all of my settings tonight and that did not make a difference. 
    Is there a setting I am missing, or am I just SOL?  I am trying to avoid having to get a whole new phone but it is very frustrating to not have sound with my applications.

    There are two places where vibrations can be set.
    One is the Settings > Sounds
    The other area is Settings > Notifications
    If you have an app set to Alert, it may have a vibration set for it.

  • Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility???

    Why is the "Partition" tab gone from my Disk Utility? How do I partition a disk?

    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc One if you are trying to partition your startup drive and after the installer loads select your language then click on the Continue button. After the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    If you are trying to partition an external drive or a non-startup drive then simply open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • Sound not playing through iPhone 4s speakers in Music - the volume bar doesn't show up.

    When I want to listen to music without headphones, the music doesn't play because the volume bar is absent. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

    Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Lock and Home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds or until the phone restarts and you see the Apple logo.

  • Sometimes the volume bar doesn't show up on the ipad

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I am having. One day out of the blue the sound on my wife's iPad stoped working for music or videos. The speakers still worked for ringers but not anything else, so I know that the speakers still work. Also I have noticed that the sound only works for the videos and music when you plug in headphones. Also for some reason if you go to raise or lower the volume the volume bar isn't present, I can't do anything with sound aside from hear my ringer. So I wanted to know if anyone knew what was wrong with it. I am thinking there might be a short because sometimes it will work again but only for about 3 seconds and then it doesn't work any more.
    Also please don't give me the link of trouble shooting steps because I have already done them all, and I have also reset the iPad back to the original factory settings and nothing fixed the problem. I even went as far as going to geek squad since I had free tech support from them for the moment and they just told me that according to all the test/trouble shooting procedure that there is nothing wrong with the iPad hardware or software wise and since the speaker works with the ringer, it is obviously working. However for some reason it does not work with videos, music, or anything else for that matter without the headphones being plugged in.
    If anyone has experience this problem please tell me what you had to do to get it fixed, and if repair was necessary how much did it cost?
    P.S. I am sure that the mute is not on.

    It is likely that you need a change a setting on your email server. See here -

  • Why does the tab bar on my iPad 2 disappear when I swipe down? How can I lock it in place?

    Why does the tab bar on my iPad 2 using IO8 disappear when I swip down? Its annoying. I have to tap the top of the screen to view my open tabs.
    why did Apple switch the position of the bookmarks icon and the favorites icon. Now I tap the wrong one.

    There isn't a setting to stop the tab bar automatically hiding (or I haven't found one), and as to why the icons were moved I don't think that Apple have said. If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

    Why is the volume of my phone so low in calls ?

    Hey there Claudia,
    It sounds like the audio from the receiver is low when you are talking on the phone. I found this article for you to help troubleshoot this issue named:
    iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
    Receiver
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Increase the volume during the call.
    Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
    Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
    Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
    Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Make sure your device is up to date.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Music and videos start playing fine but randomly stop and the volume bar disappears

    I have an iPhone 4S and run 6.1.3.  I start to play music or videos (youtube, ESPN, Netflix, any) and they start to play fine but then randomly stop.  The volume bar disappears as well.  But then it reappears and I can play it again.  When I do so it plays about 30 seconds, sometimes less, and pauses again.  I have to repeat the process.  Any idea how to fix or what might be causing the problem?

    Try a reset:
    - hold both the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
    - the iPhone will turn off(keep holding) but as soon as you see the apple logo appear release both buttons
    Also make sure none of the LCI have been set off especially the one in the charging dock of the iPhone. Read the article below for help in checking this:

  • I have been having problems with my speaker. After the recent update I am unable to listen to movies or music using my speaker. The volume bar is completely missing. If I plug a headset into the port, the volume bar reappears.

    I have been having problems with my speaker. After the recent update I am unable to listen to movies, music or apps using my speaker. The volume bar is completely missing. If I plug a headset into the port, the volume bar reappears and then disappears after the headset is removed. This is quite annoying. My child's Apps that he likes to play will not even make a sound. HELP!!!

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.

  • I keep getting "Invalid URL" notices...is the Awesome Bar gone in Firefox 4?

    Just upgraded to FF4 from FF3.6.16. Tried typing keywords into the Awesome Bar expecting to get redirected, but instead all I get is a bevy of "Invalid URL" notices.
    Is the Awesome Bar gone in FF4? This is a serious inconvenience and I don't want to ditch FF for Chrome but I might if this is so.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • HT5429 Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6 can I revert to IOS5?

    Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6.The images at any reasonable magnification are colourless and so fuzzy as to be useless.I loved my old Google based system which even allowed me to look into my house window from the street view function.I wish I had never accepted the invitation to upgrade to IOS6 I would like to go back tithe old system

    Google and Apple have apparently parted ways in the 'bundled apps' area.
    If you don't like the bundled map app, then your option is to look for a replacement in the app store.
