HT204291 my ipad2 thinks it is airplaying to the Dock Connector
my ipad2 thinks it is airplaying to the Dock Connector any fix? I shut off bluetooth, reset all settings, blew out the dock connector with a can of air and held down the top switch and round button, already.
turn the volme bar down no you can see the orange bit, then lock the screen. Leav eyour phone/ipad/ipod for a few minutes then turn the volume bar up and go into your iphone/ipad and it should work, otherwise all youll have todo is give the charging point a good hard blow/compressed air which should also work.
if not book in and see the apple genuis'

Airplay defaulting to dock connector
hi,
I have had intermittent problems using the BBC iPlayer app over the last two days. When using the app to play video, the sound will stop (silence), and the iPad volume control does not work, or show on screen indication.
I have found that the Airplay menu is set to ¨dock connector¨ even though I'm using the iPad solo.
I have re installed the app, but found that once the error occurs, all other apps are affected - i.e.no volume.
Rebooting the iPad solved the issue a couple of times, but I now find that even the video app, shows Airplay to dock connector, and there is no iPad checkbox on the menu.
Any ideas?
ThanksI had the exact same problem and just fixed it. I worked out that if I plugged the charger in, or even my ipod to VGA adapter, the airplay menu went back to showing Ipad instead of "dock connector". So probably was some dust shorting out the connector somehow.
So I tried cleaning the the connector with some LCD screen wipes I had, wrapped around a flat piece of metal i had that was small enough to fit in there but strong enough to get a good rub on the connections, once the connections were cleaned (and the small amount of black on the wipes indicated they were somewhat dirty, the problem has been fixed.
In retrospect wrapping the cleaning wipes around a conductive metal might not be the best idea, I should probably have used a piece of cardboard or plastic just to be safe. -
IPad thinks it is connected to a dock connector = no sound
Over the past few days, my iPad 2 will suddenly lose sound. When I check the audio output, 'Dock Connector' is always checked. Unfortunately, I don't owe any dock connector nor has my iPad never been connected to one. I read elsewhere that this may be a 30 pin connector issue. I tried cleaning the 30 pin connector slot out as suggested elsewhere but it didn't really help. The issue usually resolves on its own but it is annoying nonetheless. Anyone else having this problem & how did you resolve it.
I had this exact problem with my iPad 2, and what I did was gently (gently is the key) jiggle the 30-pin connector with a small screwdriver, like you get in those computer or eyeglass repair kits. I ran the screwdriver along the length of the connector, and the sound would suddenly re-appear at certain points, and then disappear again when I removed the screwdriver. I kept gently probing the connector with the screwdriver, and jiggling it slightly up and down. It seemed to work better when I jiggled it downward (toward the back of the iPad). At one point, the sound came back for several minutes, and I thought I had fixed it, but then the sound went away again. Finally, I pressed slightly harder on the connector downward (again, toward the back of the iPad) and held it for a few seconds, and that seems to have permanently fixed it, at least until it happens again. Based on the results, I would say that either the connector gets a bit loose when the charger is removed abruptly in an upward direction (toward the front of the iPad), or there was a short in the connector that probing with the screwdriver eventually cleared. I felt like I had nothing to lose, since I had brought it to the Genius bar and they said the fix was to get a new iPad, and because I was out of warranty, it would cost $299. I didn't think I could possibly make it worse with the screwdriver, so I gave it a shot.

If anyone could help or try to fix this, please help it is such a hassle!
Apple is not here.
Clean the dock connector on your device with a soft, dry brush. -
i have restarted the phone and reset the settings.
Is there any debris/lint/etc in the docking port?

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?
Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

My ipad2 doesn't recognize airplay duplication. Why??
my ipad2 doesn't recognize airplay duplication since I upgraded to ios 6.1.3 although my iphone4s does. Need some answers. Thanks a lot.
D.There's no reason that airplay mirroring shouldn't work. I assume that the problem starts with there not being an airplay icon when you go to the left side of the multitasking bar?
I have had this problem before with my iPad 2, not related to a software upgrade, but found that a reset (hold Home & Power button until it resets and the Apple logo appears) usually resolves the problem.
I'm assuming that the ATV and iPad are definately connected to the same network as this is required for Airplay to work. -
Hey. I have received an iTunes gift card, so I was all excited, punching the code into the "redeem" option on iTunes on my iPad2; however, I kept on getting the alert, "This is not recognised as a valid code". It is very legible, though. How come?
The obvious answer I think is that maybe you are not entering the letters and numbers correctly. I almost never get it right the first time when I use a gift card.
Try entering the code again - slowly and methodically. If it still doesn't work - look here for help.

One final thought - if you are using a gift card that was purchased in another country - say like you have a Canada gift card and you live in the U.S. - that card will not work in the U.S. iTunes store. -
I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both still result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.
I have even bought a new Airport Extreme Router just to confirm it is not the router and it still didn't help.
I have brought all items in the same room with wired connections and still same issue.
I was thinking maybe ATV 3 might help since it has 2 wifi antennas and faster processor.
Have tried everything I could think of.
This was one of the main reasons I bought a Macbook Air for this airplay feature. Very frustrated.
Any thoughts; any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksThanks for the suggestion.
I also disabled Norton Firewall and restarted the Air and Now I'm able to use Air Play.
I know that the Apple remedy said that to do that in the support article, but I totally forgot I had that enabled..
It actually works. I can even stream to the Apple TV now through my MacBook Air.
BTW, Go into setting under the ATV, and click on update...you'll see that there was another update avaialble for the last gen of ATV...
It does have to restart twice..I guess once to download and and nother to apply. -
Hi. I have the Apple connector kit...and actually played Garageband via my M-Audio Oxygen 25-keyboard thru my iPad2--without a powered hub.
But that was two month ago.
Now...I can't get it to play--with volume. I can hear the notes...but faintly. And I have pushed ALL possible volume controls up (Keyboard & iPad).
I know the keyboard is triggering, because I tested it on a MacBook: got full volume, just like before.
But just can't get full volume from the iPad2. I got a 4-port USB hub...and tried interfacing it between the keyboard and the connector kit/iPad2. But still no volume. It's almost like a switch is off in the iPad???
Any help would be appreciated. Danhello again,
i didn't really dare to delete the blue home folders before, just in case everything went wrong, but now i think i have so little space that i can't afford to lose 2.25gb!
one thing that slightly worries me is the fact that the 'proper' library folder (in the home icon) is 2.09gb, whereas the 'wrong' one (from the blue folder forenamesurname) is 2.24gb - this is the one i would be deleting. just seems odd to delete a larger file than the one i presume i'm using.
"Move everything you want to keep out of the blue folders, and then place both of the folders on your desktop. If everything works properly after a few days, delete both folders. If you are asked for your administrator password at any point or if either folder is copied instead of moved when dragged, don't delete that folder."
by 'everything you want to keep', does this include the library folder? 'cause there doesn't seem to be much else, and i'm not sure if deleting the library folder would ruin all my preferences.
i've put both of the folders on the desktop, it didn't ask for the admin password or try to copy them, so i guess that's good news. what kind of things should i be looking out for to act differently?
are the folders not in use now that they are on the desktop?
also if i put them in the trash will they have no effect? i.e. the same as permanently deleting them, so i could put them in the trash as a test.
cheers, stephen. -
I am unable to delete any of the installed apps on my iPAD2. If I press on the icon , it merely starts shaking but no longer displays the X sign in order for me to delete it.
I also notice that I am unable to display the HIDE tab if I swipe on any of my purchased apps.
I think this may be happening after I upgraded to iOS 6
Any help much appreciated, thanks

I bought an apple TV today from Dick Smith and when I set it up on our Samsung Smart Tv and clicked on airplay on the apple TV, I was unable to find the airplay on my ipad 2, Ipone 5 and Iphone 5S to pair them. We are unable to find Airplay anywhere on our devices. When scrolling up as requested on most google sites we are able to see everything else but airplay.
Please help i think our Apple device is faulty.Welcome to the Apple Community Natasha.
Your devices aren't supposed to be visible from the Apple TV.
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

When I connect my new iPad2 to PC and start syncronising, the routine stops at point 2 during the backup. What can I do ?
Moreno ItalyCouple of things you can try.
Make sure your windows firewall and anivirus are turned off.
Second, think about what apps you may have loaded. In prior posts really long or interrupted back ups were tied to apps that had an unusually large or messed up data content. Like comic book or magazine readers. Somme of those apps just do not work great in the backup world.
If the pad is new, and you do not have a lot of stuff on it, you can skip,the backup step entirely by clicking the little x in the process window in i tunes. Before you start the process, though, make sure up have transferred your purchases to i tunes. ( i tunes, at the top, under the file drop down), and import any pictures into iphoto, or whatever photo library you are using. Then start the process. When it gets to the backup set, click the x, and the pad will go on and sync.
When i had the same problem, deleting the suspected bad app, and a successful sync without backup cured it. -
can apple fix my ipad2 twice for free this is the second time my ipad2 screen broke, now dont calle me careless my 3 yr old brother begs and cries and it's frustrating, all he wants is thomas and friends so i end up getting forced to give it to him, i didnt know my brother was still playing with the ipad , and i was watching tv, so my dad comes up it was lying in the floor next to my bro, u couldnt believe how i cried that time because second time...... my mom was very very dissapointed , and so am i , so will apple be able to fix my 1pad 2 wifi only16 gb for free again, i barely have enough money to repair, because my mom brought another one. im really sad bc it took alot of sacrifice from my parents to buy me this ipad, i dont think i deserved that : ( plz help , or give me any other options.
If you mean your iPad got stepped on and the screen physically broke, I think it extremely unlikely that Apple will replace it again for free. They weren't obligated to do so the first time, as apparently they did, and almost certainly not going to do so twice.
Sorry, but I think you'll just have to live without your iPad until such time as you can save up enough money to pay for repairs. There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less than Apple's replacement charge, though I can't say with certainty. Do a web search for "ipad repair".
