Equalizer not working?

Hi PINGER (and Carolyn too). This a common but not so easy problem to solve. I will try to take estep by step in order to solve ito and let your iPad use the equalizer the way you want it.
a.) First of all, there are two ways of Setting the equalizer in your iPad, iPhone or iPod. Directly on your device (the way you want to do it PINGER) or permanently on all you Music library and it is donde in iTunes.I think your problem is that you have set on the equalizer on your ipad permanently in iTunes.So lets check it out!!!
b.) Open iTunes in your PC (with or without your iPad connected ok?).
c.) Check MUSIC on the left list on iTunes.
d.) Mark any song on your list (righthand side of iTunes).
e.) Click right hand side button on your mouse or mousepad. A little window will open and there you will see a Tab named: OPTIONS click on it and another window opens and there you will see an OPTION for Setting your equalizer ON for one song, multiple songs or all your library. If in your case this setting is on (or a music o equalizer setting is on) choose NONE and you are ready to go.

You now should be able to use your equalizer directly on your iPad for any song or music library the way you want it PINGER.

I hope this will solve your problem and help other to know how to use this very nice and powerful feature of iTunes.

Glad to help!!!

HI,

Are you modifying the equalizer from the iTunes Get Info window on your computer?







Carolyn 🙂

Thanks for the timely response.

Can you point me to where the settings are in the iPod app for a track to change the equalizer?

You aren't assuming anything incorrectly, I'm just trying to figure this out.

The only way I've figured out how to change the equalizer is in the iTunes Get Info window.

@ Carolyn
it's the iPad preferences (iPod -> Equalizer)

@ Pinger
You're looking at the right place, and it should work.
Did you try, playing the music in the background while changing the Equalizer settings?
Some changes are hardly noticeably, others are more obvious.
Hope, you get it working.

Bless you!

(You are definitely Mac). 'Preferencees' vs Settings LOL I read you loud and clear.

Thank you so much!

I was able to change the equalizer on the fly too.

Ok...

Try resetting your iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Try the equalizer.

If that didn't make a difference, turn iPad off, and then turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Now try changing the equalizer.

I hope that helps.....

HI,

Your Windows system software is update to date as well and you have the latest version of iTunes installed?

Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Control click a track then click Get Info then select the Options tab. Make sure you can change the preset there.

You could try reinstalling iTunes.

PINGER very sorry to hear that. One last question?, did you Sync your iPad after you made the changes I explained to you? If you didn't then the changes will not be applied to your iPad ok and the problem will continue.Another way is take your ipad to an Apple store an explain your problem to one of the experts there?.

Good luck!!
