Despite the player only being a few weeks old, problems are already being reported with the third-generation iPod shuffle, specifically in relation to contact with moisture. According to support discussions, play and volume controls may malfunction when used during activities associated with sweat, such as a run or a workout. Volume may suddenly ramp up to the loudest setting, or down to the quietest; play controls can become unusable, and some iPods may shut off completely. In some cases users have stated that after leaving a Shuffle alone for an extended period of time, controls return; the next time the device is taken out for exercise however, glitches may resume. The problem is further believed to be persistent across Shuffles, as even replacement units have broken down. A temporary fix is suggested in the form of using other headphones with volume controls, and preventing cords from coming in contact with skin.
At present, no information has been released by Apple in regards to the cause of the malfunctions, or any plans for recalls or refunds.
Press any button on your iPod, click wheel and turn it on. Press the "menu" button at the top of the click wheel until you reach the iPod menu. Select "Settings" from this menu by scrolling down until "Settings" is highlighted, then click the center button. Select "Playback" from the menu choices that show up. Select "Volume Limits." You will reach a screen with a speaker icon and dots indicating the level of volume your iPod is currently set on. Scroll the wheel up or back to adjust the volume limits. Press the center button and you will have the option to lock in your settings by selecting a four-digit combination lock. This is not a necessary step; you can click on "done" and finish. Setting the combination allows you to have more control over any future changes to your iPod's volume limits. Scroll the click wheel to select your combination. Press the center button and you will revisit the volume limits; adjust it as you like and press the center button. Take care.
Volume can be operated via Remote. The on stage II has front chrome-colored volume controls that aren't buttons per se, since they don't depress or move in any way. They're touch sensitive controls, one for volume up and one for down. Touching both simultaneously mutes the unit. Touch them both again to un-mute. Or you can use the remote to control volume, play, pause and skip tracks forward and back. The remote uses RF rather than IR which means you won't need line of sight and the remote can work through walls. The remote has a hold switch on the side and a clip so you an attach it to your belt, shirt or anywhere else you wish.Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.
