I could not turn up the volume on my iPad using the volume button on the side. Is there any way to fix this?

I could not turn up the sound (volume) on my iPad 2 using the volume button on the side. This happens after I have reduced the volume to minimum using the same volume button. The volume indicator does not move up at all. Note: it was not on mute, so the issue seems to be the button.

Try this and see if it works.
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.

I have adjusted the settings to max and the volume button on the side to max, is there any other way to increase ringtone volume?

you can connect an amplifier to the 3.5mm minijack but it will require batteries or AC power to amplify of cause

When I turn on my ipad2 the volume box appears and does not go away until i hit the volume button on the side and the increase volume button does not seem to funtion only the lower section does?

I need help. I got an ipad 2 for Christmas and the volume box appears every time I turn it on and it won't go away until I hit the side volume button. I also realized that the upper portion of the volume key does not seem to work properly. Any solutions?

i face totally similar problem so i think its a software flaw. but mine got on quite a long time.
what should i do, i dun like going to the store in exchange for a refurb one

I have an iphone4 that is 2 and 1/2 yrs old and the volume buttons on the side of the phone no longer work, therefore I cannot hear people who call me very well unless I use a handsfree and also when listening to music or watching footage, I cannot alter

My iphone4 is 2 and 1/2 yrs old, works fine other then the volume buttons just stopped working all of sudden. This function not working means I cannot hear people very well when they call because I cannot turn the volume up and when watching footage i.e. music video or film, I cannot turn volume up or down. This has meant I cannot use my phone like I used to, therefore not fit for purpose. Questions is - Is Apple, under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 obliged to repair/replace my phone for free?
When I went into my Bromley store today I was told because the phone is not under the 12 month warranty Apple could not help me or I could pay in excess of £100 to get phone repaired, is this right?

Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault".

HT201401 The volume buttons on the side of my iPhone 4S do not work . Is there a way to turn them on or off or are they broken

Volume button don't work . Can they be turned on and off?

If the iPhone falsely senses it is docked due to short in the charging port it can disable Volume buttons. Shorting in charging port can be due to dust, debris, etc. If no Warranty, clean with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. Never hurts to try a Restore with current iTunes on your computer, too.

Volume button on the side won't work

The down volume button on my iPad will not work. It has not been dropped. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing it?

Bring it in to apple for exchange. If you're in warranty it will be exchanged for free; if not your phone will be replaced for $149

All of a sudden don't have sound on my phone, music, apps, games, notifications. Don't even have the volume bar on videos to turn it up or down, when I press the manual volume button on the side to turn it up nothing happens. Somebody help me fix this

Somebody please help me fix this issue!!!

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If still problem, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare coverage, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean charging port again with small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

My iphone 5 will not let me control my volume at all. it is turned all the way up. i try to use the buttons on the side of the phone and they dont work and when im on a call i cant change the volume.

Im having trouble with my iphone 5. For about 6 months now i cannot change my volume while on the phone or using the buttons on the side to turn the volume down. I took it to the sprint store so they could fix it and they said they have never had this problem before. Ive owned every iphone from the very beginning and never had this problem before. please help.

Have you tried going to Settings> then tapping on Sounds. and making sure that change with buttons is turned on?

The button on the side that turns my phone to silent does not work and niether does the up volume button. I have tried restarting my phone, I did a soft reset, I checked all my settings, but nothing has worked. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4 and recently started to have some problems. First, the button on the side of my phone, that puts the phone on silent is not working. I can move the switch, but my phone stays in silent. However, If I plug my headphones in, Then I can hear everything like I am supposed too. Also, my up volume button does not work. This is with the headphones also.
I have tried doing a soft reset, I reset all of my settings, I updated my software, I restored everything back to factory settings, and nothing has fixed it. I bought it from best buy and can send it in for service, but the last time I sent a phone in, it took them 3 months! and I really don't want to go without my phone that long.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks so much!!

Sounds like it either believes that there are headphones plugged in, or the switch is broken.
Why in the world would you take it to Best Buy for service? Take it to an Apple Store. They can replace it on the spot if it's defective.

AppleCare+ for iPad extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPad and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee. Note: AppleCare+ must be purchased within 30 days of the date you bought your new iPad.

My sound won't work on my ipad even though the sound is up and the button at the side is on volume? Any ideas. For ipad 2

They will replace it with a refurb of like kind if the problem is deemed to be hardware related and not caused by misue. They will probably try restoring the device and troubleshoot it on their own before they replace it for you .... And I'm talking about an Apple Store here.
You should probably try this next.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

Your iPhone charging port may have a minor short, causing iPhone to falsely sense it is connected to a dock turning off its speaker. Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush.
