IPad 2 Microphone HELP!

Okay so I got my iPad 2 Today (black, 16gb, wifi) and am amazed by it. However, when I recorded a video, there was no sound. I recorded again, this time SHOUTING into the mic hole at the top, then turned the volume to full. When I replayed the Video, I could *Barely* hear myself. I downloaded a sound recording app, wuth the same results. I rebooted. No Sound. I Restored to the original. Made a vdeo, NO SOUND AGAIN. PLEASE HELP! I have iOS 4.3.3

Johannes-
I got mine yesterday and haven't tried recording a video, so I'm just guessing!
Do you have a Skype account? Skype has a test server that lets you test your audio. The iPhone version works on iPad, and is a free download from the iTunes store. My voice returned at a reasonable volume when I tried it using the factory volume setting.
Have you tried playing music to see if the speaker is working? If the speaker doesn't work, you might plug in earphones and try that.
When you rebooted, did you hold the home and sleep buttons until the Apple logo appeared? I can't think of anything else to try if that didn't help.
Whether your problem is speaker or microphone, it sounds like you may have a defective iPad.

IPad microphone

I am wondering if there is way to turn off the iPad microphone ? I am using the app, GarageBand, I am using it with headphones and I noticed extraneous noise. I did sone checking and discovered that the iPad microphone does not disable, even if you plug another microphone into the headphone jack . The built in microphone on the iPad is ALWAYS on. This is not acceptable. When I connect my guitar to the iPad the microphone just introduces to much feedback . If this microphone cannot be disabled by software I will have to go to extremes to disable it . I do not want to od anything drastic. Please, someone help. Thanks.

I would love to know the answer to this too. As soon as GarageBand is active, the internal microphone is active. Surely it only need be active when you explicitly choose audio recorder, and even then when 'internal microphone' is your required source. Alas there are literally zero options in Garageband for iPad for this kind of control.
I simply wanted to record guitar via input, rather than mic, but it records the microphone input as well, which, since I use my computer as the external monitor, results in both the guitar, the playing track from the computer and any other environmental sounds being recorded! Ridiculous. I just want to be able to record from the plugged in device only... is that too much to ask?!
You can see it's active when you're using the 'Guitar Amp', even without any other external devices plugged in, any noise causes the LED on the input options jack icon to light.
IMO, this makes Garageband pretty useless for recording any kind of external instruments, which it boasts as one of it's strengths.

I have a problem with the sync between iTunes and ipad2. I can not see the files in iPad. Help me please.

Cannot see what files ? Music (synced music should appear in the iPod app), films/TV shows (Videos app), documents ... ?

If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app. Look there and see if they are still there.
If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows. If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again. Make sure you transfer purchases first. Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

Oh - I see that you have that article linked to your post above. Read the entire paragraph in item #1. It tells you what to do if it is asking for a passcode.

The iPad doesn't seem to want to set up an email for a "group" in my contacts. On my iMac, when I type the name of a group, the email addresses of everyone in the group appear in the "To" line of a new message. Not so with the iPad. Help?

Apparently Groups are not supported in the Mail App on the iPad. Read this thread and see Michael Morgan's post for a workaround.

My email screen won't orient to landscape on my IPad. Help

Hi. My Ipad is two weeks old and I noticed the other day that it is no longer orienting the email page to the lanscape position. Lanscape works in all other aspects of the IPad. Help!!

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
See if that helps.

Is an iPad of help to someone with low vision?

I have an elderly low vision (legally blind) relative in the UK. (I'm in Canada.) I'm wondering if an iPad would work for her and make it easier to do email and listen to her audio books? Or any other things that can assist her. Any info would be helpful. With not being there I don't want to promise it will be better, but I'm hoping others can point me to all the things an iPad can help her with better than an ancient computer that she doesn't understand and it doesn't work well. I live on my iPad and know how wonderful it is, but in not sure what is available for persons both elderly and that have low vision. Thank you for any help.

Hi Brew_Too,
Apologies that it took until now to get back to you.
Before I start responding to the ques. you answered, I need to point out that if you want to give it as a gift, and want to actually send them one, that won't be possible unless you do it through the online UK store. Warranties are not international so if they have an issue within the first year Apple will not cover it for free because it was purchased in Canada. And, if you pay by credit card you must have a credit card in the UK and a home address attached to that credit card. It's the same with itunes gift cards. So you might need another way to get them one. Maybe you can speak to Support in Canada and see if they can help.
1. That she has internet is great so all she needs is a wireless router. Many are very inexpensive these days. Here in the USA at Best Buy, there is a Belkin for $29.99 and a Netgear for $44.99. We have the netgear which two years earlier we had paid $89.99 for. They will want one with either, bgn, or at least n. N is the newest connection. That should be bought in the UK also. They won't have a lot in their home that needs it (many computers plus xbox plus printers, etc., so simple and inexpensive will be enough.
2. Are their son and DIL somewhat knowledgeable in computers and ipads? They should be able to set them up easily. Once they have wireless set up, the ipad will connect wireless router seamlessly.
3. If they have an email address, that can be their ID. They will have to set up a passcode, password, and select security questions to answer. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY WRITE IT DOWN AND HER SON KEEPS HIS OWN COPY, TOO.
4. Great that they are still independent. I only asked that to see if they had to deal with a particular living community's cable company, etc. They don't. Good.
5. With the newer ipad models they don't need to sync it to a computer. But if they have family close, they might bring their current laptop to your cousin periodically to sync the ipad and back-up data.
Again, Siri is definitely on the newer models (not ipad 2 or original). Once it's set up for assessibilty she will use Voice Dictation. And she can speak commands to it. Also, when her apps are set up and assessiblity is on (they'll need to learn the taps, etc.) when looking for ibooks, for example, she/they can hover over the screen with fingers and the ipad will tell her what the app is. When it's the app she wants, she puts her finger on it. It will open the app.
I've seen it in detail in the Apple online store, but can't find it now. Here's a summary.
VoiceOver screen reader
Guided Access
Support for playback of closed-captioned content
AssistiveTouch interface for adaptive accessories
Full-screen zoom magnification
Large text
Option to invert colors
Left/right volume adjustment
I just found it. www.apple.com/accessibility/ipad/vision.html
If she is mobile and lives near an Apple store, maybe her son and/or DIL can take her there to a free class for 'Getting Started with iPad.' Or they can make appts. at the genius bar for help.
Though her vision is not good, she can facetime friends and relatives, including you.
If her ipad is synced to her son's computer, he can upload any music she loves from their cd's (free!) she has to his computer, make a playlist and sync that to her ipad. Or you could even do it on a UK compatible CD and send it to him to sync.
Another great thing is if someone contacts their old friends and their family and asks them to send scanned pictures to you from when they - your cousin and her husband? were young to now, they can be combined and put to music they like/love appropriate to the years of the pictures, and synced to their ipad. They could take the pictures to a local camera store, have them put on cd's (NOT read only) send them off to you or her son, make into a slide show on his computer, then sync to the ipad. I bet they'd love that, and it's good for happy memories and their memory.
That's another thing. There are so many games to improve memory.
That they can have books read to them, listen to music, face chat with family, (imagine them talking to grand children) looking at their pictures, listening to their music, etc., I think it's great and I think Apple needs to continue addressing the needs of and marketing the ipad to Seniors. It helps them feel less isolated in so many ways.
I'll try to get back to you late tomorrow (or today actually - USA - Eastern Time Zone.)
Hope this helps.

HT1904 Since my laptop broke, I don't know how to update my iPad? Help?

Since my laptop broke, I don't know how to update my iPad. Help?

Update what? The operating system on the iPad? If that's what you mean, then if you have iOS 5 and are connected to a WiFi network, you can update it by going to the General settings and selecting "Software Update". If your iPad still is on iOS 4.x, then you will have to have access to a computer running the latest version of iTunes to update.
If that's not what you meant, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.
Regards.

In my case, resetting the sync history and disabling the add-ins fixed the problem.
