Post IOS 8.1.3 iPad speaker problems, Help!!

After updating to ios 8.1.3 all sounds coming from my iPad (32 GB 4th gen.) have major static distortion undertones; including key sounds, music, audio & video etc. This occurs at ANY volume, & I've never listened to very loud music on the iPad.
I really do not think I could have damaged my speakers, and the simple fact that the same debilitating static sound is being transmitted through to my Bluetooth speakers is very strange?!
(I updated to the latest IOS; 8.1.3, in hopes of fixing another  volume related problem; certain apps that have small audio files (dictionaries) were not functioning, and although my settings for "Key Clicks" and "Lock Sounds" were always "on"- suddenly they disappeared. Now they're back with a horrible static noise. Apart from "rebooting" or soft resetting my iPad- I have no clue what to do?
Any help would be a fantastic.
(I was also wondering if I'm the only one out there who seems to have a defective power supply port- every time I find an "Apple made & approved" lighting cable, after 2 to 4 months the iPad stops detecting it at all- or I'm given messages reading; "this accessory is/ may not be compatible with the iPad..."!  I almost wish for the days of the 32 pin cables- I imagine micro USB's were never even an option at Apple!) Any help or information about this would be sincerely appreciated! Thanks! 

I had this problem, too, I my iPad with Retina display (~ 2 years old).  Luckily we were just under our extended warranty, so we had a new device shipped to us (another iPad with Retina display).  I installed the backup from the original iPad using iTunes, and everything has been working well for about two weeks.  Now, all of a sudden, we're getting the same static-like undertones through some apps and the lock/unlock and keyboard sounds.
Before I sent the first iPad back to the company, I did a complete factory reset on it.  I noticed after the factory reset that the sound on the original iPad had returned to normal (at least as far as the key pad is concerned).
My plan for the replacement iPad at this point if this keeps up is to back it up using iTunes, give it a factory reset, and restore it again from the iTunes back-up.
I would certainly be curious to hear if anyone else is experiencing these problems.

  • IPad speaker problems

    In June 2011, I bought a refurbished iPad. Earlier today, it was working perfectly, the only thing that changed was that I charged it, then the speakers stopped working properly. The volume switch on the side of it suddenly doesn't work, and with the volume bar on the touch screen that shows when you are listening to music doesn't stay, you have to hold it down to hear any sound. Even when I hold down the button, the sound comes up jarbled and interrupted. What should I do?

    Looks like an hardware issue. Probably the iPad is less than 1 year, so you can go to an Apple-store to let it repair free of charge. Carefull, if the warranty does not count, you'll have to pay.

  • I cannot save PDF files that has a lock on the right hand side of the tab in safari iOS 5 from my iPad. Please help to find a solution.

    Can someone help find a fix of how to save PDF files from safari in iOS 5.0.1? The PDF files show a lock on the right hand side of tab. Only these lock PDF cannot be save. Any help will be highly appreciated.

    I assume that you have iBooks or GoodReader or Adobe Reader - some app that will open PDF files so my suggestion would be to start with the basic things, restart your iPad, reset it or quit Safari and restart.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    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.
    In order to close/quit apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you 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 to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off.
    To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    The lock to the right side of the tab indicates that the website is secure - or at least that is what it looks like in Safai on my iPad. Sites with the https in the address have the lock icon in the tab, non secure sites - web pages without the https - do not have the lock icon. I'm not sure if that has any bearing on it - none of the PDF files that I have opened in Safari have the lock icon.
    But if you can open the file - it doesn't make sense that it would be locked??? Try the basic suff and see if any of that helps.

  • IPad & iTunes problem, help plz?

    when I connect my iPad 2 to itunes, there are no screens showing in the apps section

    I suspect you may be using an old version of iTunes. Check to be sure you are running the most recent version. Update if necessary and try again.

  • Audio problem after ios 7.1 in ipad air

    After updating to ios 7.1 in Ipad air I got the following problems.
    After watching a movie via the video app and switching to home screen, the keyboard click sound is muted and also the lock sound is.
    I tried for the solution by resetting my device 5 times but his didn't work.
    Please let me know anyone has this kind of issue...Please report to Apple to fix this issue in next update.

    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.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 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.

    http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

  • I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

  • Installing IOS 8 on my iPad slowed all the functions significantly, anyone else have this problem?

    Installing IOS 8 on my iPad slowed all the functions significantly, anyone else have this problem?

    There are many people experiencing the same with the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S.  The hardware in these devices is barely adequate to run iOS8.  You can look for obvious menu settings (like turning off or minimizing background app refresh) but there is no getting around the fact that these two devices are barely up to running iOS8.

    1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo
