My ipad 3 keeps losing sound controls

My ipad 3 keeps losing its sound controls. I have tried all the advice online about going into settings and moving the switch on the side by the volume controls.
When it happens (its been at least once a week) the only thing that sorts it out is doing a reset (holding the home/power button down) and then waiting for a few hours.
When it happens if I double click the home button, swipe right and go to the volume controls there the control is empty (the little movable tab is gone)
What is wrong? Do I need to take it in?

Thanks for the reply. I tried that however it has just happened again for the second time today. :(

  • Ipad keeps losing keychain passwords

    My iPad keeps losing its keychain passwords. I can access them in Keychain on my Mac, but when I go to an app or website on the iPad, it does not auto fill the data. Doesn't always happen, however. Any suggestions?

  • I keep losing sound on my 5s for incoming texts, videos on facebook, outgoing e-mails.  Got a new phone, it does the same thing.  What do I do?

    I keep losing my sound on my 5s iphone.  It will work fine, then I use some apps and I lose my sounds.  The click when I turn it off, the notification when I get a text, the notification when I send an e-mail, but most importantly, the sound on videos that I watch on facebook.  Don't know if it's related to facebook or what?  I went to my carrier and they sent me a refurbished iphone.  I got it yesterday, but today started doing the same thing.  Most of the time, if I turn the phone off and then turn it back on, it works, but I'm so frustrated, I don't know what to do.  Anyone else have this problem?  My carrier didn't know what the problem was.

    You transfer the data (including text messages) and settings from your old phone to your new one by backing up your old phone and restoring this backup to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109).  This must have been what your girlfriend did.
    If you never backed up your old phone and it doesn't work now, it's too late.

    It is possible that your printer or your iPad is on the fringe of your wifi router's range. You should be able to check the signal strength on the printer.

  • IPad keeps losing its internet connection since updating to OS 8.1?

    Since updating to the latest OS my iPad keeps dropping its internet connection. It has to be shut down and restarted then its back on line, but a while later will drop out again. What is wrong, and what can I do to correct it?

    Try freeing up some memory by clearing open apps running in the background. Most people don't know this, but if you have a ton of apps running it can cause a few to crash. Double tap the home button to bring up the bottom. Every app down below is running in the background. Hold your finger down on one till they wiggle. Hit the minus button on all of them. It's good to clear this out of stuff your done using.

  • Why does my ipad keep losing connection and kicking me out of apps?

    Why does my ipad keep dropping apps while I am using them like facebook and facetime. It just disconnects and goes to the home screen. Very frustrating!

    I have a MacBookPro...my wife has iPad2...and I do nothing with her iPad...
    let me ask a dumb question reading here.  She plays a lot of Scrabble or word games...goes on Facebook, and has been complaining to me about the games crashing, bringing her sometimes back to the home page. 
    We followed one piece of advice given here...to hold the start and home buttons simultaneously and reboot.  This may work...we'll see.
    But...on the advice concerning the apps.  When she holds down an App...they vibrate or shake, which I guess is a way to move an app about...drag it.  Saw no minus sign.  I guess we assumed the app was "closed" sitting dormant on the home screen...and so I know or understand (she not so computer literate), an app sitting on the homescreen is not necessarily closed?  Hitting home and bringing the desktop back up, is not necessarily closing out of the app?
    thanks...

  • Why does my iPad keep losing the Internet?

    I keep having to reboot my iPad as it keeps on dropping its connection to my wireless network. Other devices, iPhone, laptop etc don't have this problem so I don't think it is a problem with the network, can anyone help?

    1. Have you tried changing the security settings on router e.g. WEP, WPA, WPA2
    2. Have you tried changing wireless protocol e.g. a/b/g/n

  • My iPad keeps losing its network connection.  All of the other wireless devices in my house are fine.  Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

    I have an IPad 1 with 16 G of memory and wiFi only.  For the last 2 days it has been dropping off of the wireless network repeatedly.  I have a wireless laptop next to it that is fine.  I am working where I normally do and have had no problems until the last couple of days.  My other IPad works just fine and my macbook pro is also having no problems.  Does any one have any idea where to begin troubleshooting?

    Just a follow up with a successful ending, I think.
    Got the replacement iPad2. Synced it on itunes, put in my old SIM card, and tried it out. I was heartbroken when it had exactly the same problem with wifi connectivity! Dropped my home wifi connection every few minutes or seconds. Had to be prompted to find home network.
    Then I tried turning OFF "Ask to Join Networks" as suggested by another poster on Apple Support. Suddenly, I had steady wifi connectivity. I left it that way overnight and even when I woke it from hibernating, it was still connected to wifi!!
    Thinking I found the answer, I decided to go back to my original iPad2. I had previously used "Erase All Content and Settings" when I received the replacement iPad2 and so, had to Restore from my iTunes. After doing that, my original iPad2 now holds a wifi connection!! (And I did NOT turn off "Ask to Join Networks".)
    So was it fixed by my erasing all content and settings and then restoring it back? Maybe. I called Apple Support again and they did not have any answers or suggestions. They did say that turning off "Ask to Join Networks" would have no effect on connectivity but it did stop the iPad to keep prompting me to choose a network to join! 
    I would be interested if this "fix" works for anyone else because I see it is a fairly common complaint.

  • IPad Keeps Losing Wifi Connection??

    Hi,
    About 2 days ago, my iPad 2 began losing wifi connection. I would have to tap "Forget this network" and then wait a bit and then tap on the network again and type in the password. After that, the iPad would gain wifi again until about 5-20 minutes later, it loses wifi connection AGAIN. Sometimes when I did that it still didn't even work! And it also bothers me because it still has the wifi sign in the top left corner of my ipad screen, even if the wifi connection is not working. This has happened continuously throughout the past 2 days. Sometimes, the wifi would work for a good amount of time before it was gone again, and sometimes it loses connection after like 3 minutes. But all the other electronics in my house are perfectly fine, it's just my iPad 2 that's been doing this.
    I tried to tap "forget all network settings" and then restart my ipad, but that didn't help. I'm not sure if it's the iPad's problem (since all the other electronics work) or if it's the wifi.
    Please help! This is very annoying.
    (And i have a new update which is 7.1.2, but that's been there for a pretty long time bc I always forget to update it. But I don't think that's the problem.)

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

    PS Make sure you have a good wifi connection when you update the iOS.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep losing sound?

    About an hour ago my iPhone4 stopped making sounds--no key clicks, no alerts, iTunes music won't play, camera doesn't work. Anyone got any ideas? This is my 2nd iPhone4 in about 2 months. Same thing happened with previous iPhone.
    Thanks for any assist.
    P.S. I may not respond quickly, have no sound cues...

    To further elaborate on my issue, I was playing solitaire on my phone during a commercial break on Hulu--suddenly there were no clicks as the cards were turned and cards also responded slowly to the tap. I've not had any water damage and I carry the phone in an Otterbox Defender case. When I open music for playback, the player interface opens, I tap the play button, it highlights, goes to pause button instantly, then back to play button. Does the same for videos in TED talks app, videos I've shot with the phone, videos loaded from my iTunes library. 
    I guess it's back to the Apple Store--I appreciate the functionality of the device, when it works it's great but no audio, no video, no games, no alerts--it fails me as a communication device.
    Thanks again for any assist.

  • Keep losing logic control (mackie controller) settings

    Sometimes my logic controller stops working and I've found the way to reset it is to open up the controllers->setup window and drag the controller icon. But after that, I lose all my custom mappings. Is there a way to have these persist?

  • I am trying to edit a video in iMovie and I keep losing sound..

    When I tap the spacebar and play, the audio is there, the video plays fine by itself in and out of iMovie. But when I go to edit, or crop/cut out a part, I can't hear any audio, which basically defeats the pupose of editing the project. What am I doing wrong? Why is my computer doing this? I've restarted iMovie, it doesn't help. This happened a week ago and not even restarting the computer helped. My computer is a MacBook, version 10.6.8, Capacity 500gb, Available 317gb, Format Mac OS Extended and I am using iMovie '11. Thanks for any help you can provide. This is driving me bonkers.
