IMessage Sound has Quit

I had to restore my iPad yesterday thru itunes on my MBPS. Now my incoming iMessages are silent. They make a swoosh noise (like always) going out but nothing for incoming. I have checked my settings under Messages, Notifications, Sound, and Mail, Contacts... I can't figure it out and I loved those incoming sounds. Anybody know why?

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1.2

Yep, I do. I even bought one yesterday and it is selected. This no sound started after I restored the iPad using my MBP which has never made a sound for incoming iMessages. I have only had this MBP since 1/25 so could call Apple Support but since Ai use my iPad primarily in seems too minor an issue on the MBP? Not minor on the iPad tho especially after buying an alert tone. I may try turning iMessage off on the MBP?

Yes it is a time consumer - and you will find that you have to allow apps access to your location for weeks to come again. I suggested it, because it has worked for me in the past with a couple of issues that I just couldn't fix any other way.


I just don't know whay you would not be hearing the incoming sound. If all other notification sounds are working - its not an issue with system sounds being muted.

Ok, just did that and we'll see. All my Buddies are offline so will have to wait to check. If this does not fix it, I will have to make an appt. with a genius. Both iPads are still under the 1 year warranty. It's just very strange to me that both of them are doing the same thing. Thank you again and I hope to come back and say this solved it.
