No sound in apps. New iPad problem or iOS 5.1 problem?

I had a problem where app sounds would not play unless I had headphones in, though music always worked. I read a recently solved issue where someone had a similar problem. Notifications were not muted, sound was at full volume. I did everything I could to get sound to work properly and have discovered a bug.
Unless the physical toggle switch is dedicated to mute or un-mute instead of orientation lock, app sounds are not regulated correctly. If you are having problems with sound only working in music, you may be one of the many who repurposed your physical toggle switch.
Change it back to mute or unmute, and everything should be fine.
I'm also guessing that if you mute your iPad with the toggle switch and then dedicate it to orientation lock, the iPad remembers both your mute dedication, and your orientation toggle, however switching up or down only affects the current purpose even if it remembers the settings for both.
Let me know if this helps.

I use the side switch for screen orientation lock and have no issues with sound whatsoever in any apps and never did.
You do know that you can control system sounds via the task bar - if you are using the side switch for screen lock like I do - when you double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right to get to the mute icon on the left side?
Are you familiar with this? This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Cannot get sound on apps new iPad

Apps have no sound. Music is fine. Help

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

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates?

Why is the sound of my new ipad cutting out intermittently and what does Apple recommend to solve the problem in lieu of any updates? All of a sudden without changing any settings, the audio on my NEW ipad cuts in and out on applications/ games, keypad noise and lock sounds. The rocker button only seems to work while the sound is intermittently being heard before, after a few seconds of noise not doing anything when sound goes off.
This is highly frustrating as I've noticed others posting about such issues as far back as April. Anybody had the same thing happen to them? Is this likely software (ios6) or hardware issue? What are the solutions Apple???

Apple has no physical stores of their own in Dubai, so unless you mean that you purchased from the online Apple Store for the UAE, you purchased from a dealer, who may or may not have been authorized. You can check the expiration date of the warranty on your iPad yourself by entering in the serial number here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it does indeed show the warranty has expired, then what you need to do from here will depend on who you purchased the iPad from and when you really did purchase it. Perhaps you actually purchased it in August and are just misremembering? Check your receipt. If you confirm that you did purchase within the last calendar year, tell us exactly where you got it and we can probably offer advice.
Regards.

Why does the sound on my new iPad keep dropping out

I have done some trouble shouting following a few threads but for some reason the sound on my new iPad keeps dropping out every min or so for afew seconds. Tried to reboot the router and also reset wifi settings on the iPad. I am also having problems connecting to wifi intermitant as this may be it is frustrating.
Is this a known issue and do apple have a fix?
Thanks for any help

No not at all if the music is downloaded only when using wifi

Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? Thanks.

Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? This is for my boss.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Simple answer is YES.
The only caviat is for instance in the UK some iPads are locked to a specific network provider and therefore if the new iPad is locked then it will only work on the specific network it is locked to.

On several of my apps my iPad 2 w/ IOS 4.3.3 said I needed to update the apps and the updates were for ios4.3.3 but now the apps don't work at all after updating. They just flash on the screen but don't stay displayed. What is going on?

On several of my apps my iPad 2 w/ IOS 4.3.3 said I needed to update the apps and the updates were for IOS4.3.3 but when the update was complete the apps would no longer work. They would just flash when I tapped the screen to bring them up but will stay displayed. What is the problem?

I Also have this problem!!
In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason. At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident. Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed. Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees). Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!! Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

Just received a new Ipad Air, but IOS version is older than current IPad...can not load backup...How do I upgrade IOS version?

Just received a new Ipad Air, but IOS version is older than current IPad...can not load backup...How do I upgrade IOS version?

In order to upgrade the new Air 2, I had to select "set up as new" from the menu. So, after the IOS upgrade is done, how do I "restore" the data that is backed up on icloud from my old Ipad? I don't see a menu item for that . . .
Thanks

Problem with updating apps in Ipad 3 with ios 7.1

I have an Ipad 3 with ios 7.1. From April, 2014 I am having this strange problem. My Ipad apps won't update both manually and automatically. Everytime I have to "Reset all settings" in the Ipad and then only the apps would update. So please suggest how to solve this problem.

sorry, but i don't know :-(

My laptop (win7 2ghz, 1gig) has 100% cpu usage with itunes installed (even when not running itunes) since the upgrade. i had to uninstall. tried installing but still the same problem. my daughter wants the new ipad, but this is a serious problem.

when itunes upgraded my laptop went to 100% cpu usage. only solution was uninstall. have tried itunes again as my daughter wants the new ipad. still same problem tho so not keen to spend £400 on new pad without pc support. anyone help? (ps been using ipod touches 1 and 2, been great source of pleasure for my two girls, but cant sync them, so using the little shuffles for music, syncing to an old version of itunes on an old netbook - had the sense to switch off upgrades when the new version went wrong)

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Do white new iPad's have more light bleed problems?

I have exchanged 3 white 64GB wifi only new iPad's and will be exchanging for my 4th one today. are there more light bleed problems with white iPad's? I don't know how many times i will have to exchange until I get a good one. can someone show me of a white ipad that has no defects what so ever.

I just want to mention that if the DSL light isn't on, it is definitely the phone line, however it is not always the provider's fault. Remember they are responsible for the line from the pole to the house, but not the inside wiring. If your phone line is unplugged from the jack, the DSL light will not be on. To be sure that it is SBC's fault, go and test the connection at the d-marc box outside the house.
Take your laptop, your modem and a phone line and plug it in out there. If you don't get the DSL light, it is definitely their problem. If you do outside, but not in the house, and you call them out, you will get charged for the service call.
Also the built in ethernet cards, more commonly referred to as airport cards, are not really delicate per se, but the wire for the antennae connection is most definitely. Only if you removed yours which you would have to if you wanted to add RAM, would you have any reason to be concerned about possibly damaging it. SBC telephone tech support is always showing off their lack of knowledge.

How to Delete sounds/songs apps on Ipad 1?

My sister has a Ipad 1 and has annoying **** sounds app downloaded in her Ipad 1.
Is there any way to Delete those sounds off her ipod app in her ipad 1?
Or is there anyway to delete a app that has sounds that downloaded in her ipod app in ipad 1?

If she wants to remove the offending app, all she has to do is hold her finger on the app, until all apps start to jiggle. She'll see an X in the upper left hand corner of the app. She would touch the X and the app will be removed from her iPad. The app however, will remain in her library and can be downloaded again, if she wants.

Is it safe to upgrade brand new iPad 2 to ios 5.0.1?

I've just bought a new iPad 2 and am eager to upgrade to iOS 5 for all those new features.. However, the web's littered with complaints from iPhone users about major issues with the iOS 5.0.1 version. I haven't been able to find anything specifically pointing to problems with 5.0.1 on iPad2. Can people who've upgraded their iPad 2 to 5.0.1 tell me if they're facing any problems with the updated iOS or is the problem just limited to iPhone users?
Thanks!

I would update. Just make sure you fully back it up first then do the upgrade.
I think the only issue I've had is my wifi occasionally dropping...which just means it disconnects and has to be reconnected every so often. Not horrible, just annoying.
I haven't experienced the battery drain issue and the other big glitch was syncing via iCloud and it eating all my contacts. But that' s not a problem with upgrading, rather an issue with the iCloud as a whole.

On my iPhone 4S with the same OS and the same version, it's working well.
Is it a bug, or it's my iPad wich have a trouble?

HT4972 new iPad with old iOS

I recently got a new iPad because my first one died. I was given an iPad with iOS4, but my previous iPad had iOS5. Now I am unable to sync my new iPad because it has as an earlier iOS version. Does anyone know how to update to iOS5 without first syncing?

With iOS 4 you can only update when connected to a computer's iTunes (with iOS 5+ installed you can then update directly on the iPad) - connect the iPad to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button
