Why does my ipad mini not have any sound?

My ipad mini does not have sound in any of my apps (mostly games). Sound is on in settings, and sound is turned on in each app. It is a first generation mini, not a retina display. Thanks for any suggestions.

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

Why does my iPad mini not receive 2.4ghz signal but does receive 5.0 ghz signal?

I have an iPad mini that does not receive a signal from any router on 2.4 ghz, but does receive a signal from the same router if it is 5.0 ghz. Since most public wireless systems broadcast on 2.4 ghz, I am unable to use the mini anywhere except my home office, where I have dual frequency router. I have checked into every technical help site I can find, and most of them suggest resetting the mini, resetting the router, etc. Nothing works so far. Is it possible that the receiver in the mini is defective? Has anyone else had this problem?

There is a problem with iPad Mini's as this has happedned with two separate mini's. I have been to every Apple related site that I can find, and have reset both the units and the Netgear router in my home office numerous times without success. I'm a retired electronics engineer, formerly in Silicon Valley, so I'm reasonably confident that I haven't missed anything obvious in troubleshooting this problem..
I have been to the local Apple store and have had a couple of consultations with the geniuses there. In each case they have confirmed that the units will not receive a 2.4 ghz signal but will receive 5 ghz. Apple stores only have 5 ghz wireless so it took a while for them to understand the problem and I had to connect to a 2.4 ghz system with my iPhone5 to a department store next door before they would believe me. They did take back the first unit and within two weeks the second unit had failed in the same way. 5 ghz OK but no reception on 2.4 ghz. Since most public wireless systems are on 2.4 ghz, the unit is rather worthless when I am travelling.
I use an iPad2, an iPhone5 and a Macbook Air and we have two other iPads in the family, all of which are on the same 2.4 ghz wireles system and all functioning properly. I can only conclude that the 2.4 ghz transmitter/receiver in the iPad mini has a fundamental fault and hopefully Apple will recognize it and have a fix. In this case it will have to be a replacment unit as it's unlikely a technician would be able to replace the electronics in the field.
I would like to hear from anyone who has observed this same problem. Unfortunately, most of the advice on these forums concentrate on resetting the iPad or the router and fail to understand that the problem is hardware related and not software related. Perhaps this could be the beginning of a dialogue and a potential fix for the problem.

Why does the ipad mini not ship with earphones? it dosent make sense to me!

Apple are one of the biggest players in the music industrie, so why no earphones with the mini?

You will have to ask Apple.
I suppose cost is one reason.

Why does my ipad mini keep glitching. We keeps randomly doing stuff on its own while on not even touching it? I've tried restarting it by holding down lock and home button about a thousand times, it never works. so could you please help?? thanks(:

why does my ipad mini keep glitching!! /:

Your iPhone doesn't require as much power to charge as your iPad needs so there is a possibility that the charge could have a problem even though you were able to charge the phone. If you can try a different power adapter and still have no luck, then the only thing left - IMO - is to contact Apple support and see what they advise.
BTW .... Copied from your first post ...
i then decided to do a reset or restore by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button down.
I'm not trying to be a nitpicker - but what you described is a hard reset and your post gave no indication that you tried a software restore - which I referenced in my post. That's why I suggested the restore.
Many times restoring the iPad to factory settings can help "revive" the device. If you have tried restoring according to the two support articles that I directed you to and still have no success, you are probably out of luck getting any further help on this site. That's all that you can try at this point at least AFAIK.

Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.

Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty;

Why does my iPad mini stop responding to wifi after a period of time?

Why does my iPad mini stop responding to wifi after a period of time?
For example, I can connect to wifi and use Safari and my iPad's interet capabilities with no problem. But if I then leave my iPad alone for an hour - when I go back to using it, it still shows as being connected to the wifi, but is unresponsive - i.e. web pages will not load etc. - I have to disconnect and reconnect to the wifi to make it responsive.
In advance, thanks

Try #5
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 droping 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

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents in pages from my mac after downloading update on pages on mac?

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents from my updated mac-pro laptop pages since i updated the mac. Have updated latest pages for iPad 1 it could and still not able to open docs as i could before update on mac-pro

The most recent version of Pages that you can run on the iPad 1, running iOS 5.1.1, is not compaible with the newest version of pages on the Mac.
If you had the old version of Pages on your Mac, and off hand I can't remember what version it was, you should still be able to use that version and then it will be compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I updated to the newest version of Pages some time back but was able to keep the older version as well.

Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

I doubt that anyone here can answer that question with any validity...
That being said, try to reset the device:
*Device reset*
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Does the iPad mini GSM have LTE

does the iPad mini GSM have LTE, i have one, got 4G sim card, but, never worked, always shows 3G

Yes. See:

Scroll down to "Wireless and Cellular"
Are you in the US or another country? I believe LTE is not available outside of North America. See:

Please . My ipad does not have any sounds at all .. I dont know what to do
I shut it off while there was music playing and when i turned it back on , there was no more sounds completely

There's a little button by the volume rocker switch that's a dual purpose button. It's an all mute or a rotation lock. Could you have flipped that button by mistake?
