Set Maximum Volume Limit on the iPod Shuffle

Step One
Set your iPod shuffle to the desired maximum volume.

Step Two
Connect the iPod shuffle to your computer.

Step Three
Select the iPod in the Source pane.

Step Four
Select the Settings tab in the main window.

Step Five
Under the options section, select "Limit maximum volume." Note: If you don't see this option, your iPod shuffle doesn't have the necessary software. You can download the latest iPod Updater for free at the iPod website.

Step Six
Drag the slider to the desired maximum volume. The initial slider setting corresponds to the volume the iPod shuffle was set to when you selected the "Limit maximum volume" checkbox.

Step Seven
To require a password to change this setting, click the lock and enter a password.

Step Eight
Click Apply to save the changes.

Once the limit is set on your iPod shuffle, the status light will flash orange quickly three times to indicate you have reached the set maximum volume limit.
