No sound on iPad 3 after iOS 7 update.

Check the control panel.. have you selected Airplay.. if so untick it.

Ask a question by all means but ranting will get you nowhere, we are all just users here.

One, two or more finger Swipe up from the bottom of the screen for the control panel.

The Control panel has controls for:

Sound, brightness, music, Airplane mode, WiFi, Bluetooth, Don't disturb, Mute, Time, Camera and Airplay bottom middle. I use it a lot.

Hope it's as simple as turning off airplay, it was with my husband's iPad 🙂

Best.

....no AirPlay at all. Did they get rid of it in iOS 7.0.3?

The iPad 3 and lower do NOT support AirPlay. It will not be available in any manner on those devices. AirPlay only supports:

iPad 4th gen

iPad mini

iPad Air

Sorry...I was thinking AirDrop.

From iPad2 iOS7.0.3..

Are you sure you are running iOS7.0.3? ..

Settings > General > About..

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.)

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 am having the same problem (though mine is an iPad 2). upgraded to 7.03 this afternoon. no no sound from speaker. Not airplay, not bluetooth setting.

Looking at other postings for both iPhones and iPads upgraded to 7.03, I have discoverd it is a glitch with the hold button. Turns it into a ringer on/off switch (I asume this is supposed to be just an iPhone setting), which turns the volume on and off.

I should have said lock button- right next to volume. It now defaults to muting your iPad. In Settings, General, on the left side, there is a section titled "USE SIDE SWITCH TO:". Choices are Lock Rotation or Mute(default now), need to change it back to lock. You can tell this setting was made for the iphone because when set on mute if you use the lock button, on screen it shows "Ringer" on and off.
