To quit (close) a Mac app normally, choose Quit from the app's menu in the menu bar, or press Command (⌘)-Q. If the app doesn't quit, follow these steps to force the app to quit. Mac Pro has three fans on the front of the computer and vents on the front and back. MacBook Pro has vents along the side and on the back. MacBook Air computers have vents along the back near the clutch. The surface your device rests on can block its vents, affecting fan behavior.
1. go to Music
2. click on one of your tracks
3. Select all (Apple+A together)
4. Select info (Apple+I together)
This will bring up the file info window for all files. Just above the bottom left of this window you will see a sliding bar called 'Volume Adjustment'
If you move the slider towards the +100% side and then click on ok this should change the volume on all files.
One word of warning though. if you do this,next you connect your iPod or iPhone to iTunes, it will want to replace the fines on your device with the louder files. So just be careful how loud you make them.

Damn It's So Quiet.. Mac Os Update
I'm all for sharing 'the basics' for audience members who area simply new to a platform, however I've grown to know Mac OS X Hints to generally offer a higher standard of how-to.
For this hint in particular, I'm surprised to see two verbose paragraphs which fail to mention several fundamental exceptions. For one, alarms (set by the Apple Clock app) override the silent toggle as do timers. Also, as mentioned by another commenter above, there is no mention of how to further ensure your iPhone will be silent by turning off Emergency and Amber alerts. Even then, I would have thought MacOSXHints would have pointed out, for the benefit of their readers, that unless disabled FindMyiPhone will *always* have the ability to make the phone chirp.
@bryguy: Settings > Notifications [Scroll all the way down]
@robleach: When you know an ad is about to come up try: double tapping the home button to activate the multitasking tray, sliding to the left to the media controls, and sliding to the left again to reveal a persistent media volume control.
