IPad 3 just lost sound

been using my ipad 3 with no problems since ios7 update until tonight,the sound just went off,i can still here it through headphones but not speaker..i did a hard reset which made no difference..i reset the network settings and i had sound back until i tried youtube after a minute of getting sound back,bang there it went again..tried resetting network again but this time to no avail...all settings show sound is ok..no mute,nothing....anyone

Try plugging/unplugging the headphones multiple times. With the headphones plugged in, try twisting the plug within the jack multiple times as well. Also try wiping off the contacts on the headphone plug with a cloth.
There's an internal switch within the headphone jack on the iPad. When the headphone plug is inserted, the switch cuts off the audio going to the speaker. Sounds like the contacts on this switch are either stuck or dirty. Working the headphone jack (by twisting/inserting/unplugging) within the jack may help.

My new iPad mini has lost sound

I purchased an iPad mini a few weeks ago and the sound was working no problem. All of a sudden it has stopped in apps and music. Checked mute and done a reset but neither have worked?

Hello Rach42,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPad. I recommend the following steps for an issue like this (the steps refer to an iPhone but are also applicable to the iPad). You can skip the steps you have already taken:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

TS3274 my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound. all else works.

my ipad 2 suddenly lost the sound. all else works.

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

My Ipad has lost sound

So my Ipad, 3rd generation, has lost sound. The volume controls have dissappeared on the task bar, the mute button is not switched on. But when I use the side button for volume control, I just get the little messgae sound effects.
When I switch the mute button off and on, it shows full volume, or what ever volume I set it at using the little bar in the settings menu for sound.
I get volume after restating my ipad and entering my password, but then it's gone. I also get sound, when I ask Siri, and she talks when ask her a question. I have even restored the ipad software, but what ever is causing the problem is being reinstalled when the back up loads.
How can I can fix this? Is anyone one else having this issue?

There have been a number of people that have talked about this same issue for weeks now. I have no idea what causes it, not have I seen anyone say that something specific fixed it. If you restored from a backup - like you said yourself - you could be restoring whatever glitch in the settings causes this to happen.
Have you tried resetting all settings? Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
I reset all of my settings yesterday because I was trying to fix a really weird issue with my Automatic Time Zone setting. It seemed to fix the issue for me. I don't know of it was just a coincidence or not, but it is working properly again for me now.
You will have to go through all of the settings in the settings app and set everything up all over again. You will have to join your home network again. You will have to allow access to all of the apps in the Privacy setting, enable Siri again, Select your custom wallpaper again, reset your brightness level .... All of that stuff.
If that doesn't work, then the next step would be to restore as new and see if the volume comes back, then start adding all of your content back to the iPad.

HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
(I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2)
And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

Hi All. My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

Hi All,
I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
Thanks Again,
Scott P.

Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
Why would I buy yours?
I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please

Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please
its very important files!

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

My mini iPad just lost all my email content. Everything is gone. I cannot receive emails on it either. I shut pad. Still nothing.

I just lost all my email information on my 8.1 mini iPad - everything is gone my drafts my sand all of a sudden it just went. I shut it off and turned it back on still nothing I also cannot receive any emails but it shows I am connected

See if any of the following clears them. Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't remove them then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Mail app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
Also do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My iPad has suddenly lost all sound

My iPad has suddenly lost all sound.

All sounds are gone? Did you check the music or videos app for sound? If they have sound, system sounds are muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Just lost my iPhone 4. It was synced with my iPad. Will wiping data on iPad wipe it on iPhone too? How does "find my iPhone " help?

Just lost my iphone4. Had iOS 5. Had "find my iPhone"
Had several data in Evernote and Dropbox. No lock
Will wiping out data from iPad (synced with iPhone) wipe it from phone too?

As far as finding your phone goes, log onto icloud.com and use it to find the phone. The phone needs to be turned on and still have battery power. If it has been stolen, the thief can wipe the phone of information, so get on it ASAP.
