IPad (3rd gen.) speaker and microphone suddenly not working and iPad freezes. Help!

I was just watching some YouTube videos on my iPad and noticed that it only had 5% battery left. I plugged it in for charging and continued to watch. After that video had ended I moved onto another one, only to notice that I had no sound. I thought this was just because of low battery, and left it to charge. I came back to the iPad later on, only to find the display not turning on from the home or lock button. I did a reset by holding the home and lock buttons down for around 10 seconds. I showed the Apple logo and turned on. I still had no sound though. I tried using Siri to see if he would sound, but then noticed that my microphone is also not working, and then my iPad froze, and it has continued to freeze in a variety of different locations on the iPad since.
When I attempt to play I sound, I hear a quiet, static-like sound coming from the speaker, as if it is attempting to play it or something. I tried an iPad restore using iTunes but it would not take place, so I erased all data on the iPad and that had no effect. Most times to turn the display I have to reset the iPad also.
Please help!
Thanks,
Tom

You rebooted - by which you mean powered off, then powered on?
Then try a reset:
Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let go promptly when it appears.
Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
No information or settings will be lost.

  • Ipad 3rd gen speaker grill.. is this normal?

    I have a tiny pin protruding from my ipad 3rd gen speaker grill.
    It pushes in and springs back out like a switch but never noticed it in 2 years.
    Does anyone know what this is?

    sorted....
    it was a bit of propelling pencil lead that had got itself in there...

  • IPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes

    iPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes.  Done 2 resets, used original charger and cable and bought brand new charger and cable from Apple store.  Nothing works.  This started yapping after the iOS 7.1.1 update.

    Common troubleshooting is to try a different USB port and to give your ipad a reset. (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot)
    You can also try on a different computer to see if it's the ipad or the computer.
    When you charge, do you try to charge plugged into the wall? that's the best way to charge.
    If you go through all that and it's still not working hten it may be time to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out

  • IPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi which keeps cycling on and off.

    I have a iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi which keeps cycling on and off. 

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone  and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

    I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I  tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

    I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
    I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

  • After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out

    After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out.  There is no function at all.

    Ok I fixed the issue, turns out a couple of weeks ago, I downloaded a program that was suppose to help shrink some of your stuff to use less data, it was called Onavo.  It was suppose to show you how much data you use to help keep you within your limits.  If you have downloaded this, go through your settings and delete it and it will fix the problem.  At least it did for me.  I can now send photo's to non Iphone users via text no problem.

    You're talking about the dock?
    To check on that, go to System Preferences > Dock > indicate your preference.
    I can get iTunes up, and safari, but i don't know how
    Not sure what you mean - if you can "get it up" - does that mean you can launch it? What do you not know?

    Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
    You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
    Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one. 
    In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry

    Hi t0m#2410,
    How did you install Acrobat, did you install it as a part of Suite installation.
    If it is a part of suite then deactivate suite uninstall Acrobat, Reinstall Acrobat using Suite media. Launch Photoshop first and Activate.
    Then try launch Acrobat.
