First gen iPad having problems after iOS5 update

I have recently upgraded my first gen iPad to iOS5 (and subsequent update) and have had nothing but issues, sometimes to the point of making my iPad unusable with apps that take ten seconds to update (talking about even apple apps so it is not a third party issue), the system freezing up and not responding for well over ten seconds (example of this is while typing), and Safari crashing almost at least once an hour. I have rebooted the system numerous times and these issues have continued. I used to expect problems like this from Windows system, now it looks like I can expect the same from my Apple products as well.
Anyone else having issues like this?

Same problems here. Also browser issues, Safari (the worst), Atomic and Opera. Have tried every cache clearing and reset suggestion I can find. IOS 5 has been a royal pain. 5.01 didn't help anything here.

  • IPad 2 problem after ios5 update

    I have just updated my iPad 2 to ios5 yesterday. Everything was working fine until a couple minutes before when I couldn't click on any apps in the store. I could click on the BUY button but not entering the page to see the details of the app. My partner has the same problem straight after the update. Help please?

    I, too, have been having this issue with my iPad 2 and it is quite a nuisance.  I have the iPod 2 32gb wifi version.
    Hoping someone has any suggestions/fixes available

  • Contacts problem after IOS5 update.

    Anybody here having problems with their contacts? After updating to IOS5 I can no longer edit my contacts. The " +  " icon that appears at the upper right corner of the screen before is now missing. Anyone here having a similar problem?

    I just found the solution (from other forumers) & it works.
    - go to Settings,
    - then to iCloud, and
    - make sure contacts is checked!

  • IPAD (first gen) slow, app crashing after IOS5

    Hi all,
    After upgrading to IOS5 my IPAD (1st generation) became really instable. Nearly all the applications suddenly crashes after some time, all the IPAD behavior seems really slow.
    It seems to be correlated to a lake of memory with IOS5. This can be seen with some applications like Atomic web browser: before IOS5 it was possible to open multiple tabs, with IOS5 the browser can't load the content of only 2 tabs!
    What's the issue with IOS5 and IPAD 1st gen?
    Thanks for your advices

    I haven't had these problems (I too have iPad 1), so I don't really understand why you are. If a restore as a new device isn't resolving them I'm not sure what else to suggest.
    I think this is most likely to be a misbehaving app, but I can't suggest which one.
    Apple has never supported downgrades to earlier iOS versions. If you Google, you will find many sites with details of how to do it, but we cannot discuss it here.

  • IPad problems after iOS5 update

    Long process so I'll go through step by step.
    I downloaded the iOS 5 update on Wednesday and backed up my iPad 1 (64gb, wi-fi) both seemingly without issue. Let iTunes do its thing and install the OS and restore my backup and while it seemed to update the software OK the backup failed. Tried again probably 10 times getting various errors (-35, -48, 4056xxx, not sure if those are exactly right but you get the idea) so I decided to delete the iOS 5 file from my computer, restore to factory settings and try downloading, installing and restoring again but got the same problems.
    So I bit the bullet and accepted that somewhere in the backup the file may have been corrupted and tried to set it up as a new iPad with iOS 5. Got all my apps synced, but when it goes to sync my music/movies/etc. it will just stop and iTunes will just eject the iPad itself.
    Any help would be appreciated. I'm not too worried about the restore as I can recreate my home screens and sign back into the apps that require it, I just want to get everything back on there.
    EDIT: All this on a Mac running the newest versions of both Lion and iTunes.

  • Winmail.dat : problems after iOS5 update...

    Folks...  After updating to iOS5, I am finding that any JPG or pasted picture sent to me in e-mail does NOT appear on my iPhone4.  It is NOT simply a Microsoft problem, as is always stated.
    If I start a mail (HTML) in Outlook, and paste an Image, and send it to my iPhone's Comcast Account, I get the winmail.dat attachment
    If I start a mail (HTML) in Outlook, and paste and Image, and send it to my iPhone's Gmail account, it is read just fine and the image appears.  I have also copied my Comcast account, just to ensure the same mail....  and get the same winmail.dat result with my comcast account.
    If I look at my Comcast mail account, in Outlook (Desktop), and online --- the same image is received fine and the image appears. The only place is does NOT appear is on the phone.
    This seems to have something to do with how the iPhone interprets mail FROM Outlook.  There has HAD to have been a change in how this works, because it used to work just fine.
    Someone at Apple:  I would appreciate a response on this.  It is very frustrating, and all signs are that it is an iOS5 thing.
    thanks
    Brandon

    I did a little more searching, and found this solution on another Apple forum. It worked beautifully. It makes no sense, but who cares? It was easy and effective.
    Hope it helps!
    Yes, I did try that.
    However I have now found the answer:

    Once the entry for my home address was removed from the Autocomplete drop down list, everything went back to normal.

  • Since I've updated to iOS5, my first-gen iPad has trouble with Safari. It crashes frequently, while I'm on many different sites. Any ideas?  Thanks.

    I recently updated my re-manufactured first-gen iPad to iOS 5.0.1, and it's having trouble running safari. It crashes many times while I'm using Safari. . This didn't happen until I updated to iOS 5 and 5.0.1. Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks!

    How about this for irony .... As I was typing my response to you, Safari crashed on me for the 5th time today! Yes the issues has been reported many times on this discussion site.
    These are the basic recommended fixes. Start with the reset Safari tip - the last one listed. Good luck!
    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.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by e 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.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. 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.

  • Hi I am having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and loading then I get an error message saying unable to download app. Eventually,after many attempts it works.

    Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?

    Hi John
    iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
    I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb.  This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
    I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well.  This might be the common thread.

  • Have a first gen ipad. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools download only and try installing manually"

    Have a first gen iPad with 4.3 IOS. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools>download only and try installing manually". This is as far as I can get. Can't find tools to manually download. When I try to reset to factory settings, I get an error also.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Will the first gen ipad support display mirroring via airplay when IOS5 is released?

    From what I have read, IOS5 will support display mirroring on the ipad 2.. Is this likely to be added to the first gen ipad ? If so then great, but if not, why not? Im sure if you can wirelessly stream music and movies to an Apple TV device (connected via wifi) from the ipad one, then surely you must be able to use display mirroring ?

    In case you didn't click on the link above that is on the Apple site:
    AirPlay Mirroring for iPad 2
    Wow your audience in the board room, classroom, or living room. AirPlay now supports video mirroring. Which means you can wirelessly — and securely — stream whatever’s on your iPad 2 to your HDTV via Apple TV. Everyone in the room sees exactly what’s on your iPad display up there on the big screen — even when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out on photos.2
    So unless you were told be Steve Jobs that the iPad 1 will also do AirPlay Mirroring it really doesn't matter what you have been told, you are posting at best speculation but more likely misinformation.
    And no, don't have anything better to do.

  • IOS 5 slowing down first-gen iPad? FIFA12

    Hey guys and girls.
    I'm relatively happy with iOS5 on my first gen ipad. Split keyboard is nice, iMessages too. But I've noticed one issue which is getting annoying. I recently got the FIFA12 game by EA and it ran very well. But after upgrading to iOS5, it is getting considerably slower on graphic-heavy situations. Like stadium lights and shadows at the end of the field.
    Has anyone else noticed iOS5 slowing down first generation iPads? Not only talking about FIFA 12 but maybe other games and apps as well?

    Hey Guys,
    I know this may not solve you're problems or make me all that popular, but 1), you gotta give the developers a bit of time to update and 2), what you are experiencing is common with first adopters. On older devices it makes a lot of sense to wait until the first update. By then you will know the issues and any Apple fixes.

  • After ios5 update, iCal week view Oct 2-8 has 2 Saturdays?

    Is anyone else having problems with iCal week view on iPad after ios5 update?
    Two major changes have occurred...
    1. Week view used to start on Monday, now Sunday (and can't change it back).
    2. If you look at the week October 2-8, 2011 there are 2 Saturdays and no Friday or following Saturday...
    Any ideas? Is this a wait for ios5.1 issue?
    Cheers
    Chris

    If you are using a Mac, go to Settings>Software Update ... check for any updates, and update all.
    Chances are you are not using iTunes 10.5, which is required to sync iOS 5.
    If youare using a PC, suggest you uninstall your iTunes, download fresh iTunes 10.5 from Apple.com/itunes and install it.

  • IOS 5 Bricks First-Gen iPad

    Keyboard-based input on any website or app is useless as it causes the app to freeze and then crash. I thought my father was insane over his frustration; but having now researched the issue myself I see that it exists and is widespread. The iOS 5 update should never have been available to legacy iPad devices. Thanks for making my life a living ****, Apple. I know probably many people on this forum have invested tens of thousands of dollars individually on Apple devices over the years, this is by far the worst handling of any device I have ever owned.
    Time to Jailbreak unless there's an update to resolve this issue coming down the pipeline?---otherwise I'm tempted to use the iPad as a frisbee or doormat.
    Model: MC820LL

    My first gen iPad works ok, apart form being a bit slower that it was on iOS 4 and the occasional crash (maybe once a day) on Safari - I haven't had any crashes with other keyboard based apps such as Mail and Notes.
    Have you tried closing all apps completely and then doing a reset to see if that helps ? To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    For Safari you could also try clearing its history and cookies/data via Settings > Safari
