My iPad volume is suddenly dead, I checked the settings everything is ok there, My iPad volume is suddenly dead, I checked the settings everything is ok there

My iPad volume is suddenly dead even though the settings show everything is ok and on full volume.
Please help....

And you checked the music app to make sure that you have no sound in any app at all, including keyboard clicks, email and app notifications and everything that uses sound on the iPad - correct?
If you have nothing - not sound anywhere - reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you have sound in the music app, but nowhere else, system sounds are 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 task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I have an iPad 2 and all of a sudden I have no sound in game apps. I have usual volume in videos and YouTube, I do get volume for games if I plug in headphones. I have switched to screen lock off and on again and I have also done a reset twice.....help :)

I have an ipad2 and all of a sudden I have stopped getting sound in my game apps. I get normal sound on YouTube and I player and downloaded DVDs. If I plug headphones in then I can get sounds for the games. I have switched the lock screen button off and on again and done a reset twice, can anyone help me with this?

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.

I have a number of apps on my Ipad2 that no longer have sound. I have checked setting on my ipad and the settings on the apps that have a settings and the sound and volume are ok. Do I have a virus in some apps?

I have a number of apps on my ipad2 tha no longer have sound. I have checked the ipad settings and the apps that have settings and all sound and volume are ok. Do I have a virus? Pandora sound is ok. It seems mostly to be games...angry birds, tap tap, and educational games for little ones. Any suggestions?

There aren't any viruses for iOS devices. Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Have you tried re-booting your WiFi router ? It may seem OK on your PC, but a re-boot may help.

Try holding down the sleep and home buttons for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple it's rebooting and just let it do its thing.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while on Spotify. Volume max. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps. Works with earpods.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.
My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi!
I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.
sound is working properly only with headphones attached.
when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"
when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.
any other app can't play sound.
is there any fix for that?
Thanks

I do not have volume from my iPad suddenly but I can get it through our Bluetooth device. The lock rotation is not on.

I have suddenly lost the volume from my iPad. It works through the Bluetooth device only. I have turned off the lock rotation in settings.

The Settings > General > Use Side Switch To does not turn rotation lock nor notification mute on or off, all that setting does is say what the switch on the side of the iPad is controlling. What do you have Use Side Switch To set to ? If 'mute' then you need to slide the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control 'off' (so it doesn't show orange) to unmute ; if you have the side switch set to control 'rotation lock' then you can mute/unmute via Control Centre (swipe up from the bottom edge of the iPad, if the mute is white then sounds are muted, tap it to unmute and the icon should turn grey).
If that doesn't work (and Bluetooth is off) then try a soft-reset.

The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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.
If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.

IPad Mini decrease volume button suddenly stuck down... Overuse?

A few nights ago, as I was watching YouTube, my decrease volume button on my 1st Gen iPad Mini got jammed down suddenly... It literally was working perfectly moments before. If you press down hard you can still turn the volume down, but it seems to just be stuck down. My Mini has always been in a case (looks brand new, no dents and such) and the power, increase volume buttons still 'click' and work perfectly but I've had it since Christmas 2012 so I think it could just be overuse. Any ideas on how to repair it?
Thank you!

Hello thisiscourtney-
I’m not sure if Apple still performs repairs on 1st Gen iPads anymore, but my recommendation would be to take it to an Apple store or contact Apple directly here for more assistance.
My guess is that most likely it would be uneconomical to fix, but that’s obviously your decision.
Thanks for posting!

By reboot do you mean pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (after which the Apple logo should appear) ?
If you can't get the iPad to switch on then you won't be able to update its iOS version

The volume on my iPad 3 has dropped considerably. I have read quite a few posts and followed advice re doing reset and checking settings. Nothing has worked. WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

The volume on my iPad 3 has dropped to a very low setting. I have tried all the suggestions with setting and did a reset, nothing works and it seems this is an issue with many others. When is Apple going to address this problem?

You aren't talking to Apple here. This is a user to user technical help forum hosted by Apple. We are all users here.
For what it's worth I haven't see any change in volume on my iPad 3.
