IPad Air alarm makes no sound

We set an alarm at 4:30AM for a flight. The alarm made no sound and we slept late. It seems none of the ringtones make any sound but only show the alarm message on the lock screen. I have verified that the sound was set to full volume. The alerts setting page also does not make any sound when tapping on an alert tone for a preview.

I had no alarm sound on my ipad (os7) and tried several of the suggestions here. Problem was several things conspiring to confuse.
First, the mute bell on the alarm is independent of the ipad volume control, so it can be (and was) muted when the ipad was at full volume. Look carefully at what the prompt with the bell icon says when you touch it . . . It is muted when grayed out, not when bold . . . Confusing BC both cases show a hashed (muted?) bell symbol.
Once I figured this out, I discovered that the alarm sounds and volume are controlled via the SETTINGS app. It was set to zero volume. To confuse further, this volume can be linked to the ipad volume control (or not) with a switch below the volume slider. If you choose to link to your volume control, then all bets are off since you won't remember whether you last muted your YouTube/iTunes/whatever before going to sleep. In plain language, don't choose to link alarm volume with ipad volume.
I think this explains some complaints about "random" instances of no alarm sound. They are probably self-inflicted and inadvertent.

My iPad will not make any sound whatsoever. I reset it to factory settings and still no sound. Help

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.

IPad air keyboard makes sound when volume is turned all the way down

My iPad air's keyboard makes noise, even when the volume is turned all the way down. Is this normal? If so how can I turn off the keyboard typing noise without disabling entirely.

Aloha Raptorcheese, Good news, if you have you have change with buttons turned on you can control the keyboard volume with the normal volume control. No need to go back to settings all the time.

Ipad air 2 keyboard clicking sound disappeared.

So I just bought the Ipad air 2 and today the key clicking sound is gone, I checked sounds and the clicking sound is on. searching on here and someone suggested that the system could be muted, and to go under Setting>General>Use switch to, but there is no such option under general. sound in apps and online are all okay, tried shutting down and rebooting, does not help. Can anyone help?

Pull Control Center up and make sure mute isn't turned on. The iPad Air 2 doesn't have a side switch so "use side switch to" no longer appears in settings.

No Sound iPad Air 8.1

Hi,
suddenly, after upgrading to 8.0 I got sound issues on my iPad Air. No system sounds (Mail, typing, etc) and no game sounds. Youtube, Podcasts, Music, Videos sound is working correctly. No idea. 8.1 didn't help.
Regards
Götz

If you lost 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 control center if you are running iOS 7 or iOS 8. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Ruido en mi iPad Air al cerrar/abrir smartcover

Hace una semanas he notado que mi iPad Air hace un ruido extraño al cerrar y abrir la SmartCover. Da la impresión de que los imanes encargados de encender/apagar la pantalla con la SmartCover están sueltos. Cada vez el ruido es mas fuerte. Sinceramente....empiezo a obsesionarme.

Miguel, there are some recent threads on this issue. You are going to have to go through them to see if any of the suggestions apply to you.

My iPhone 5 appears to be using too much memory, particularly 7.9GB out of the 32GB labeled "OTHER". Even my iPad Air has only 3.9GB labeled "OTHER". How do I identify what "OTHER" is actually used for and how do I mitigate this?

According to iTunes I am using approximately 20.35GB of the available 27.32GM of memory, leaving about 7GB free. Of the used memory, about 7.9GB is labeled "OTHER". Making the same measurement on my iPad Air, only 3.9GB is labeled "OTHER". Why am I loosing so much memory capacity and what do I do to mitigate this problem?
This is having a significant effect on using my iPhone for recording Video interviews which in some cases constitute two to three hours of video. I need to be able togged the "OTHER" memory space so I can do more than one video recording during a session. Lowering the "OTHER" category to 3.9GB, the same as the iPad Air, would make it possible to record two or in some cases three videos before having to offload them to the MacBook Pro for editing in the evening.

No, it's not, if you would actually read the linked information like I said. There is plenty of information in this link about how to reduce or eliminate your 'Other' data without using third-party programs or procedures:

IPad Air - no ringer sounds after ios 8.3 update

since updating to ios 8.3, my iPad Air has no notification or ringer sounds on apps. eg I'm unable to use the Alarmed app as there's no sound. The volume works ok on music and movies.
For 2 days after the update, the home screen showed the Ringer icon flashing On and Off on the home screen when I woke the iPad up. (it's stopped this although the fault remains).
I have held the home and power button and rebooted, but this doesn't solve the issue.
Any suggestions please?
I only updated from iOS 7 recently as was trying to avoid the dreaded update bugs....iOS 7 crashed. So does 8.3.

I'm not 100% sure that I know what you mean by "reset/restore." If it has NEVER 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, read this.

IPad Air to projector cord choice-sound airport Express?

Ok so I'm looking to use my ipad to play movies in the back yard for the kiddos.
The projector I am going to order has VGA and HDMI ports.
I am looking to project the movie to the screen/projector
through one of these ports and then stream the sound through my airport express which connects to the backyard speakers I have using airplay.
Does it matter which cord I use to connect to projector? I was wondering since hdmi has sound as well but I want to use the airport express for this.
Does anyone have advice on wether this is the best setup? I want to make sure it will all work before investing the money. THX

duggifresh,
I am trying to use the same setup using the VGA connection from my iPad to the projector, but the image freezed when I engage the sound through my Airport Express. Did you ever get this to work? If so, how? Thanks!!
iPad Air, iOS 7.1.2

I stream Internet radio from my iPad air to Bluetooth speaker. Can anyone suggest the best EQ app to use to enhance the sound. Thanks

I stream Internet raidiot from iPad air to Bluetooth speakers. Can anyone suggest the best EQ app to use to enhance the sound.
THanks

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.
