Why is the volume display a series of dots now?

Recently, the volume control at the bottom of my 30GB video ipod is just a series of dots. I can longer view the volume level or how long the song has played for. Has anyone else encountered this problem? How would I fix it. I restarted my ipod many times and nothing helps.

If b's suggestion doesn't work, check out the following article:

  • 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,

  • Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?

    Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?
    On both my 2008 MBP and my new 2014 iMac 27" when I listen to the audio portion of a streaming video or news story using Safari, I can hardly hear anything. I have to crank the volume all the way up just to barely hear what is being said. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    please help!! I have the new 2014 iMac 27" as well, same thing happen to me. Dont know what to do!

  • Why are the CAPTIONS displayed smack across everyone's face?

    Why are the CAPTIONS displayed smack across everyone's face on the screen???  I need the captions to HEAR better but I still want to SEE the show.  When the text is displayed across everyone's eyeballs it's very disruptive.  And I want ONE BUTTON on my remote to turn captions on/off; from a user perspective it is unnecessary to go through the menu settings everytime.  Take a stand and do something about improving CAPTIONS!!!

    The CC text is on the bottom third of the screen.  I don't understand the problem.  *shrugs*
    Actually when I first replied, I checked the CC on the channel I was on and it was in the 'face' position the OP complained about.  Now checked here on recording of Sprint Cup qualifying and it's at the bottom.  Looks like some are not in the bottom 1/3 of the screen.

    You're right...some closer to the bottom, some closer to the top.  I wonder if it's a network decision or just random.

    Are you in US Eastern Time?  This looks like an offset due to time zone (EST is -5 hours).  Setting the UTC constant to TRUE will fix that.

  • How do i get the Volume Display back on my Monitor?

    I have the Pavillion g6... When i used to press f9, f10 or f11... the volume would go down, up or mute and show it on the screen. It disappered and i think it is really nifty. How do i get this back to display the volume on the monitor

    Hi,
    The reason you need to supply this information is because the onscreen display is provided by a software application which you may need to download from HP and reinstall.  As this software is often tailored to particular machines and the version of Windows you are using, you can see why these details are necessary.
    As you mention g6, I will assume you have a notebook, so you may want to try downloading and installing the OSD utility on the link below - this is for Windows 7 ( 32bit or 64bit ).
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53501-54000/sp53999​.exe
    After the installation is complete, restart the notebook.
    If the above doesn't help the issue, you will need to post back with the details I first requested:
    The version of Windows you have can be seen by opening windows Control Panel and then opening System.
    Details on locating your Model No. etc can be seen Here.

  • Can you change the volume display at bottom of screen to the song time instead?

    I have just bought a new Ipod Nano and really like it!  The only problem I'm having is when playing songs the bottom of the screen shows the volume level rather than how far it is through the song in time (like the old nanos used to show).  I find it really annoying not knowing at a quick glance how much more of a song is left to play.
    I know this info is displayed by double tapping the screen (although it is only shown temporarily).  Is there a way of changing the volume level icon at the bottom of the screen to display the song time instead?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is not.  You can let Apple know how you feel about it using the form on this page.

  • Why is the volume on my MacBook Pro suddenly so low?

    The volume on my macbook pro is really low.  It used to be much better, now I can hardly hear people when on skype or listening to music... everything is set on high volume... help!?!

    Try:
    Reboot into Safe Mode then reboot normally. Safe mode takes longer to boot than booting regularly. That is normal.

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • Why is the volume level different from song to song in iTunes & on iPod?

    When I play back songs in iTunes and most of all on my iPod the volume level is different depending what songs I am listing to. The biggest problem is with the songs that I get from my CD’s because the volume is very low. Why does this happen and can I fix it? Thanks, Robert

    iTunes uses a feature called "SoundCheck" to attempt to equalize playback volume. There are actually 3 Sound Checks: 1 is for iTunes playback (set in Preferences), 1 is for iTunes burning (set on the Burn Disc dialog), and 1 is for iPod playback (in iPod Settings).
    Make sure they are all enabled.
    They are far from perfect, but they should help.

  • Why is the volume of my song not as loud on iTunes?

    When I adjusted the volume on garage band to where it's perfect. When I shared it to iTunes, it wasn't as loud. Why is that?

  • Why is the volume changer button up so high on the new apple headphones?

    On the newest Apple Headphones, I was wondering why the headphones volume changer button so high. It is difficult to try to change the volume when listening to music because i cant see the volume changer button.

    I assume that you did not check before buying, if you had you would have seen that your Mac is too old for Airplay Mirroring to work:
    Supported Macs
    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    And if you bought ML solely for that function you should remove it from your machine and get a refund.

  • Why does the volume on my MacBook Pro change on its own?

    I just got my MacBook Pro and sometimes the volume goes up or down and usually when this happens iTunes opens up and starts playing randomly. Why does this happen!?

    No. Have Apple fix this little problem before it becomes a bigger one.

  • Why is the volume on my iphone 4s so low?

    On calls i can barely hear people but music and siri is loud and just fine..the volume is turned all the way up for calls so what could be the problem?

    I replaced my iPhone4 with another one and it was no better.  Later I replaced it with an iPhone5.  It was much improved. Why ?  I am not really sure, but when I got the iPhone5 either the speaker is better or the Plastic Cover is a little different.  I think the openings on my 5's plastic protector are larger and I made sure the plastic does not even come close to the earpiece.  My wife did not want my 4 because she could not hear well on it; so, I bought her a 5 also.  She likes the 5 and says she can hear better.   Improved earpiece ? - perhaps.  Plastic Screen protector not covering the earpiece - I am sure it is not, but it was not on the 4 either.  I think if you drop a phone it might jar the earpiece, but I have never taken one apart.  The Apple Store should know, but I took my 4 there and they only listened to it and said it was ok, but it was not.
    I think the earpieces are marginal and the circuitry are marginal prior to a 5 or perhaps the earpieces were not all manfactured by the same vendor.  Either way you look at it, if you have a problem hearing on a $600 phone, take it back until you get a good one.

  • Why is the volume so low on my iPad3

    What is the volume so low on my iPad3?

    They will never do any of the things you are requesting in my opinion. Apple doesn't care able what the customers want. They only care about what they think the customer wants. Look at iTunes. All music softwares are moving towards mp3tags except iTunes. It ***** because if I change my file name it no longer knows the file still exist. With mp3tags I would not care the name of the file. It would only care about the song title, artist, album..etc..It's still crap. Yet it's still being used by millions. I myself use it even though I hate it. It's all about numbers too with apple. How many device sold. Not how many happy customers. They will never allow SD cards since they would not be able to sell any device great than 16GB. No HDMI because they expect you to buy the $30 converter. No attachments because well they don't want to give access to the file system. No flash because html5 is the feature. App developers better get with it or apple would leave them behind :)...I think the multitasking is great.
    Since the first iPod came out people been complaining about the ability to sync with multiple iTunes. Years later it still hasn't change but apple stocks only grows higher LOL :)
