Hi.. I’ve just had volume issues with my iPad mini iOS 12.2
never ever occurred before, and I’ve had it 5 years.
it keeps coming up with ‘Downloading accessory firmware, and it will not function until this is completed .’......please, how do I resolve this problem ?
Thanks, Mark. UK.
iPad mini, iOS 12
Hello Toshercaffrey1234,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I understand you're receiving the message that accessory firmware is being downloaded. I'm happy to help with this. It sounds like the iPad is updating firmware for an accessory that you're using with it. Firmware updates are critical to your products working. I would recommend allowing the update to complete in order to make sure your accessory works to its full potential.
If this isn't the issue, provide me what type of accessory you're using with your iPad.
How long has this issue been going on?
Have you done any steps to try to resolve this issue?
Best Regards.
