Ipad no sound - hardware issue or not?

I dropped my ipad before and the screen was cracked. I would assume the sound was damaged by the drop. However, I still have a hope that it might be the software glitches. Two signs support my thoughts: 1. the headphone works. When I plug in, I can heard the sound. 2. The sound can be heard but lasts for 1-2 seconds when I open up the screen cover.
How can I further identify the issue?

Any help here?

Sound input issues. Not related to Soundflower or Balance issues

So. With the sound flower issues fixed. And my balance knobs in place for my stereo speakers. I have opened up a new song I have been writing. Again the AVIGrandpiano app was the track I was recording on. Like my previous post from last week the input on the new music was very faint and not at all matching the input of the previous recorded music. (See Screenshot on earlier posts)
I am at a loss as to where to begin to fix this.

IPad 2 WiFi Range Issues (but not issues with connectivity when in range)

Okay. I hate to start a new thread when there are bunches of threads on the iPad 2 having WiFi problems (particularly with 5Ghz networks and also related to 4.3). Nonetheless, I'm not seeing anyone talking about range in these forums.
Issue: iPad 2 WiFi range is not as far as iPad 1 (with no cover on either).
Alternative Explanation: iPad 2 has difficulty connecting to Airport Express or Time Capsule extended networks.
Devices: iPad 2 3g, iPad 1 3g (iOS 4.3), iPhone 3gs (iOS 4.3), iPhone (iOS 3.2x), iMac, MacBook Pros, etc.
Network Router: Simultaneous Dual-Band Airport Extreme (latest version) set up with 2.4, 5 ghz and Guest Networks (each with their own name).
Network Extender: Airport Express (latest version) extending the 2.4 ghz network
Network Extender 2: Time Capsule (original, single band) extending the 2.4 ghz network
Longer Description: iPad 2 connected without an issue to the 5 ghz network and the 2.4 ghz network when it was in the same room as the Aiport Extreme. Didn't have any issues maintaining that connection.
However, the iPad 2 doesn't work in any of the farther rooms and can't see the network. iPad 1 and iPhones have no issues (and typically show 1 or two bars). I believe they typically are connecting through the Airport Express (but it could be the Time Capsule).
Given that the iPad 2 isn't even seeing the networks, I'm guessing it's a range issue, but hoping it's not.
Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes?

While it is possible that an Apple moderator (Apple host) could pass some information to an Apple development/support group, in practice this doesn't really seem to happen (at least often). I believe that the moderators are kept quite busy just administering the forums and keeping them under control (no spam, ads, abuse, etc.). I've never seen a post by an Apple host here or seen a technical correction to a post (and there is certainly a lot of incorrect information posted here).
Unfortunately, a lot of new posters here seem to think that they are talking directly to Apple and post bug reports, feature suggestions, complaints, etc. These would be much better submitted via the Apple feedback vehicle at http://www.apple.com/feedback. These are not anonymous, are directed to the appropriate product and provide an email contact for Apple to get back to the submittor if more detail is required.

IPad and iTunes synching issues - device not found

I do not see my iPad as an option in iTunes.. My computer recognizes my iPad, but does not give me an option to choose it from my devices, as I would my iPod. There is an window that pops up, I believe my computer thinks it is a camera. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your help!

IPad 4 Sound not working after updating to iOS 8

I just updated to the new iOS 8 on my 16GB iPad 4 (New iPad). After the update was completed the sound didn't work at all. No lock sound, wouldn't play any ringtones etc. and when I went into YouTube, it played the video but no sound.
I tried a hard reset (holding down the home & lock screen button at the same time) and it now has sound, but it is way too loud and crackling. I tried the hard reset again and this didn't do anything.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

I set in a genius appointmsnt and informed them of this issue and that I had tried hard resets and resting from the back up. They Informed me that it was a hardware problem and not a software problem. Since I am outside of my warranty I was informed it would be $299 to exchange for the same 4th gen iPad i had or $519 for an iPad air. Apparently if your speakers go there is no fix other than the whole unit being replaced and he didnt have any suggestions other than to pay the money. I hadn't had any problems with my speakers the full 1.5 years that I have had my iPad so wouldn't have know to have it replaced because of the hardware. I was pretty ****** off leaving that appointment thinking that thanks to an update I would now have to fork out $300+ for an iPad due to an issue that i was unaware of until it happened.
SInce they didnt try anything in the store I decided to try and reset my iPad to new and see if that made any difference. To my surprise it worked. I set it as a new iPad and didnt use my backup but had all my contacts etc in iCloud. I'm glad that this fix has worked but ****** that the so call "genius" at the Apple Store didnt even ask if I'd tried resetting it as new nor did he do anything other than run his diagnostics and then proceed to tell me it would cost me $300+ for an iPad that is selling for $380 on sale. Not pleased with the service but happy that I've found at least a temporary fix.

IPad 2 sound issues

I seem to only have sound on my iPad 2 via headphones. I have tried turning it off completely (attached and detached to my charger); I've checked all volume options, including the mute switch, but to no avail. The only thing I have not yet tried is hooking up to my computer as I'm not sure how much it'll really help. Any thoughts?

You got to be kidding..... Ok, so you know that this is not a hardware issue, just something messed up in the software.
Out of curiosity, what were you doing when you lost the sound?
So you have already rebooted.... Do a resync on your pc.
Are you one of those smart people that does a backup,every now and then? If so, plug in and do a restore from your last backup. You will lose any data since then, but you can get apps and music and books back with a re download. If you do the restore, do not let it make a new back up. What you want is the last good one, before the problem started.
Ifnthat does not droit, you may need to do a full reload.

Airplay does not recognise my Pioneer vsx-1122-k on my iPad, I can control my receiver via the pioneer app on my iPad so it is just airplay not a connetivity issue. My Panasonic Stereo is recognised on Airplay.

Since upgrading to the latest IOS, Airplay does not recognise my Pioneer vsx-1122-k on my iPad, I can control my receiver via the pioneer app on my iPad so it is just airplay not a connectivity issue. My Panasonic Stereo is recognised on Airplay.

Hi
I don't know if you're still having this issue but there is a way round it as I'm having the same troubles.
I've just spoken to Apple about it and found out:
– If you have a Mac made before Mid-2011, it doesn't have a piece of hardware needed to take advantage of the 'Airplay mirroring'
– So you can update to a later version 10.6.8+ but this won't help at all
The way round it:
– Download 'Airfoil' and install this
– You can then play music from any defined source (Spotify, Quicktime etc) through your Airplay connected speakers
So sadly, for those have a Mac from before Mid-2011 there's isn't an option that's as easy as Option-click on the sound icon to switch to Airplay speakers.
Hope that helps, I can now get on with the rest of my day now after sorting this out.

Hi, I got an Error 23 when trying to restore my phone. Apple support centre says its a hardware issue without doing anything to come to this conclusion. They will not tell me how to escalate this case. Please let me know if there is a way to escalate.

One day when tried to restart my iphone 4, I got a screen asking me to connect to itunes. Itunes asked me to restore my phone. When I tried to restore, I got an Error 23 saying it cannot be restored. I tried the phone support. They asked to contact the service centre. I then tried the service centre guys. They clearly did not know what Error 23 was. They asked to contact the apple support again. After 2-3 guys tried to blow me off saying it is a hardware issue, I asked for a senior analyst. Apple support assigned a senior guy who said he will contact the engineering team. After 2 days, I was told that the engineering team has confirmed that this is a hardware issue.
What I am surprised about is that no one seems to have done any analysis or debugging to figure this out. How do they decide that this is a hardware issue?
The first time I tried it from my laptop and got this message. The support guy told me that my laptop may have an antivirus software which may be causing this issue. So I took it to the service centre. They tried the same restore from their machine and got the exact same error.
The senior analyst that was later assigned to my case, again asked me to restore from my machine. I got the same error.
Basically what they had verified in all these activities was that I was getting error 23. I dont know how they decided that this was due to hardware issues?
Online documentation on Error 23 is vague. It is bunched long with other error codes. There is no clear explanation of what Error 23 is.
But most importantly It says 'In rare cases, this may be a hardware issue'.
So if it is a hardware issue in rare case, how was my case deemed to be a 'rare case'?
When I asked them to escalate this, they said that there is no way to escalate.
I have had a horrible experience with Apple support. Till this point I used to think of Apple as a class apart. But now I am totally disillusioned.
My phone was about a year and a half old. I dont mind it if it actually turns out to be a hardware issue. I will take it as my bad luck.
But I dont see how the support guys decided that this is a hardware issue. I need to know.
And secondly I am shocked that Apple has no escalation path.
Can anyone please help?

Hi @imobl,
You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
To respond to some of the points you made,
- I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
- you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
- all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

I use itunes on a Dell XPS502 with W7/64. In some cases have have problems to import CD's. The sound is very disturbed and the import need a lot more time than in normal cases. Is there a problem between itunes W7/64 or a known hardware issue?

Example-CD : "Tracy Chapman , Telling stories" is not able to import . I have more such negative cases. But in other cases it works fine and the sound is great.
The firmware at the inbuild CD/DVD DS-6E2SH is the latest version.
What can I do??

hi b noir,
I don't no about virtuel drives like you mententioned. In the mean time I have rebooted the XPS and run again the iTunes diagnostics. I think the back - chance in the registry was not ready to use. Now there are another results. They are the same in case of a running CD or a not running CD. The difference in total is like before. It takes more time that iTunes reads the (bad) CD and at the there is no good sound. In both cases ( running or not running CD) iTunes diagnostics gives as a result :

Phone not getting fixed Hardware ISSUE

Hi wondering if any one could help me here I got a new iphone 5 in 2012 but it came faulty in oct 2013 with the sticky buttons which was replaced (yippee) but as of today aug 2014 the camera went faulty after I updated my phone on 7.1.2 and now is coming up with a pink screen when trying to use the rear camera!!! ! I then went to the genius bar in braehead, and the lady told me new camera is £55 new phone is £209 but you have to come back and make an appointment which I did I then spoke to a genius and was informed its an hardware issue which is a common problem plus the cameras can not be fixed in the iphone 5 and the new phone was the only option! and even tho its a new phone from October 2013 its not covered as the warranty ends when the first phone ends?? Can any one explain to me what law allows them to say this as I thought if I was giving a new phone under warranty this would then at least be a years warranty or do they not trust there own product? I have been a huge apple fan with apple tv and ipads ect but I am totally sickened by the pay £209 or live with it also the genius person said if the phone was bought from a branch then she could of tried and got it replaced but because it was threw a provider o2 she cant even tho its still an apple phone!!!

Have a look at https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/iphone-english-uk.html
It states:
A replacement part or product or a repaired Apple Product assumes the remaining warranty of the original Apple Product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you.
Good luck.

Can I exchange for a new laptop? Since December it has been having hardware issues and it has already needed to get parts changed twice already. My laptop is not working properly again. I feel like I have unfortunately gotten a lemon laptop.

Apple will repair or replace at its discretions, parts found to be defective in materials or workmanship.
You will have to discuss whether your history warrants a complete replacement with the folks at the Genius Bar.
I do not speak for Apple, but it sounds to me like you have been unlucky, but not unlucky enough (or have spent so much time with your MacBook in the shop) to warrant a complete replacement.
You have not provided any details of what the faults were or what was replaced. If they replaced the motherboard, you already got a new computer -- because everything except the drive and the display is on that board.

Will apple fix or replace my iphone 4 as the lock button is stuck and its a minor hardware issue ? Also if it was to be a replacement would it be a newer model as apple do not stock the 4 anymore ?

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
