Just cannot get sound on iPad. Tried almost everything.

I have tried everything to get sound on this iPad.
I've tried the mute and screen lock. Not working
If I open the lid when an app has been left open, the sound works for a second then nothing again
Tried sound check
Please help before this gets thrown out the window

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.

Shockwave Plug-in unresponsive or just crashes? Help (I have tried almost everything that I know of)

Hi, I am sure you have heard this a million times but I'm going to ask because I have run out of options and have never asked it here. I like to play Facebook games on my computer which is a 32 bit windows 7 version operating system. Anyway it crashes on me constantly! It can be up to 5 times within a half hour! Well actually it goes Unresposive on me around 5 times and crashes around twice an hour or half hour time.Then I just quit because i am so fed up!. Sometimes I wait it out.That is if it say's that the plug-in isn't responsive. It will then usually snap out of it but when it doesn't it decides to crash all together.Then it works just to turn around and do it again. Then I have to go back to the main Face book page and start the game all over again. This has been going on for as long as I can remember. Gradually getting worse as I try to fix it. Not sure what changed to make it happen in the first place because I am the only one using my computer for the most part and I do not change or download anything. Occassionally, my son might use it but he is pretty computer savy. I am not that good with computers, I mean like a computer nerd or something, but I definitely know my way around one for the most part. I have been looking this problem up forever on the Internet and have tried most everything that I have read and it has only made my problems worse. Right now I am trying to uninstall it so I can then reinstall it but the Uninstall program from Adobe won't go any further than the part where they tell you that you have something else running in the background and they can't go forward until it is closed. Problem is, everything is closed that I can tell. They say my Internet Explorer is running but it's not. Not that I can tell any way. Like I said in less there is some secret that I don't know about I would know from my desktop, downloads, or task manager among other ways if it were running. I remember trying this before as well months ago and it said the same thing. I have already tried the double file thing under Chrome// Plugins and disabled my second copy that is once I had one. At first I didn't but I keep a close eye on it because of my son so as soon as there were two copies running I disabled one.It didn't make any difference.So that isn't the problem and never has been.So please no need to bring that one up. I of course tried other things, suggestions from other websites but can't remember them now except that one of the suggestions I followed literally wiped out my entire Chrome Favorites Bookmark List. Argggg!! Years and years of websites were gone just like that. When I set my computer back to before I did that it still didn't give them back to me. O.K. so maybe I don't know what the hell I am doing or maybe they didn't. I don't know. I was trying anything. I was desperate and they sounded like they knew what they are talking about. But it still irritates me even though it was over 6 months ago or more.. I tried then everything to get my bookmarks back in Chrome and I couldn't. Any help out there about fixing the Shockwave crashes and Shockwave Unresponsive warnings? Please!Thanks, Ellen
P.S. Oh by the way this is what I have.
Version 11.7.700.225

Ok you got to post more information then that of the crash can you post more information about it like the frequency it happens, the code that pops up the id so go into the reliability history and post the info about the last crash

I get errors when using mycomputer that say "Cannot copy KHAI: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check" and also get errors that say parameters are incorrect. Some files get copied, but it allways hangs on some of them. I've used the two programs Podutil and ipodcopy and they usually only copy a few before an error comes up. Whats going on?

Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

I cannot install the latest version of itunes as I have old versions of bonjour and quicktime. I can't remove these programs either. Help please as I have tried almost everything I have found so far on the the web.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I cannot get sound from apple TV. Has anyone had the same experience and what did they do?

Hi, I recently bought Apple TV 2nd gen. I can, after a while, get access to my library but when I start to play movies I cannot get sound. Has anyone had a similar experience? If so what did you do to overcome the problem?

Do the movies contain both stereo and 5.1 audio.
Have you tried toggling the Dolby Digital setting or the Audio Output setting.

HT201210 my iphone 4 when up graded to ios 6, i cannot get sounds?

just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 6, great looking, but cannot get sounds to work when paging or using key boards, any ideas

That's how iTunes Match runs on iOS 6. You can no longer delete iTunes Match songs off the device with iTunes Match enable. You can do the following to remove songs.
1) Turn iTunes Match off and you can then delete song single songs that way.
2 Go to: Settings -> General -> Usage -> Select Music -> and swipe delete to get rid of everything
3) Turn iTunes Match off and then on again to delete everything
4) I heard you can delete iTunes music off the device in iTunes but I cannot accomplish that task. Plus it defeats the purpose of "cutting the cord"
This revised way *****...
Go to http://www.apple.com/feedback and go to the iTunes icon. Leave them feedback and suggest it goes back to the old way.

If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support

HT204053 I recently changed ny Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on.

I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used a digital speaker

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used an external digital speaker. Cannot seem to switch back to lap top speakers in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES...only showing DIGITAL out put option

Hi there Lutostan,
It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.

You can obtain service (if needed) through an Apple-Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store please make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

I cannot get sound on downloaded apps. I do get sound from music download..

Hello Michelle,
I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working. I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this.
I recommend reviewing the full article, but step 2 specifically stood out to me for the issue you are experiencing:
2. Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
