HT1355 Why is the new iOS 6 so slow on the App Store?

Why is the iOS 6 so slow on the App Store?

Agree the new ios6 is much slower. I found this post by doing a search to find out if it was only me. I've done off & on & a soft reset. Neither helped. Everything seems to load much slower & hangs.
Maybe the new apps aren't optimized yet. However, I had one of my worst experiences with the Apple App Store. One would think they'd know how to optimize their own site & app.
I just hope it's not a bloat issue because the "upgrades" are not worth the performance trade offs to me.
Also, the iMaps are definitely not ready for prime time. I tried getting directions between two locations that were very mainstream and the app said it couldn't provide directions. I'll take Google without turn by turn, thank you. At least let us have a choice and let the best app win.

  • I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

    Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

  • HT1414 using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything was going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though

    I attempted to update my iPhone 4 from ioS 5 to ioS 6 from iTunes on my laptop using Windows 7 OS, I had downloaded the new ioS 6 and started the update on the iPhone 4 and everything seemed to be going routine until the phone had been going thought what I though was the update process, when an error window opened up and it said that an error had occured and the iPhone 4 could not be updated. I have never had a problem like this before and it caught me off guard and I did not note all the information in the error window, but it did not appear to indicate anything other than that I would have to abort the update and did not think it would be that big of a problem. I tried to disconnect the phone and was going to do the update at a different time when I could investigate what the problem was. However I could not get iTunes to recognize the iPhone 4 after this and still cannot. After rebooting the laptop a few times and also trying to reset the phone a few times as well, I just have a dead phone. The iPhone 4 just has the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an icon for iTunes. I have tried to get iTunes to recognize the iPhone, but cannot get it to. I am unable to do anything else with the phone. It seems like the phone is in a state where it does not have enough software loaded to do anything or I don’t know how to get it to. Any suggestions how I can get my iPhone 4 back into service. Note: iTunes still recognizes my iPad and iPods, so iTunes seems to be okay to me. Craig

    I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.

  • In the new iOS-7 Safari, has the "reader" function been changed to eliminate the option to modify font size (and hence to modify the number of words per line), or is it just that I can't find how to do that?

  • TS1702 After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.

    After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.
    How to fix this?

    There seems to be massive amounts of problems with every aspect of iOS 6. From what I understand all you can do is try and reset your device and pray that Apple bequeaths working software next time or allows users to revert to iOS 5 while they search for someone who knows what they are doing. Perhaps you will need to use an alternate email app until then? (Although, Gmail seems to be the only one that works properly)

  • Was the general problem with the bluetooth headset solved in the new ios 5 or in the new iphone 4s

    Hi,
    I had HUGE issues with a BlueAnt Q2 on the 4, and after five exchanges, I had to get rid of the phone becuase the Apple store admited that they had "some bluetooth issues."
    I still have the Q2, and I was wondering the same thing becuase I realy want an iphone.

  • Why is my iPad (3rd gen) so slow on wifi? My other 2 iPads are blazing fast but the new one is slow on the same network, Why.

    I have all three ipads. My home wifi gets 30 mbps speed. Every device in the house is really fast. However, the Newest iPad (4G, 64G) is very slow on any wifi. 4G works acceptably fast, but the wifi is very slow. I've restarted, resynced, reset, restored, and this dosn't help.  Any ideas?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • HT201210 The new iOS 7 download changed the screens tremendously making them difficult to read.  How can the type be darkened and enlarged?  Can you revert back to the old program?

    I downloaded iOS 7 to my iPhone. Now everything is lighter making it difficult to see. The words (letters) are smaller and the type is lighter.
    Questions:
    Is there anyway to change the type to display more distinctly as it did on the older version?
    If not, is there anyway to return to the older version?
    Also, on my weather app, my city name keeps changing to Southwood, SC. Sometimes I have both but usually the Southwood takes over my home city selection. I don't know where Southwood, SC is located and do not want it on my phone.
    Why is the app changing my selected home city  to Southwood, SC?
    How to I stop it from changing?
    Also, the top city on the weather app will not allow you to delete it. Why is this? The other additions can be deleted.

    Hi Jean4438,

  • I have just got an iPhone 5s and want to restore it to my iPhone 4 settings. Because the iPhone 4 had the new iOS 8.1 and the iPhone 5 doesn't, it won't restore. What do I do?

    I Want to restore my iPhone 5s to my old iPhone 4 settings but because the iPhone 4 had ios8.1 and the iPhone 5 only has iOS7, I can't. What do I do?

    AAre you sure it's an iPhone 4, the highest iOS is 7, but a 4s can be on ios 8.  Update the iOS on the 5, then restore it using your 4 backup

  • I downloaded the new Pages and Numbers through my app store but when I open my old documents, it still tells me my 30 day trial is over. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize the new applications?

    More information: I have a 3 year old MacBook and had been using "Microsoft for Mac" until last week when I took my MacBook in for some upgrades- including the operating system Lion. I have been unable to use the Word, Excel, etc. programs because they are not supported on the new operating system... and I already used my 30 day trial of iWork when we first purchased the computer. I decided to buy Pages and Numbers through the App Store icon. When I open the Pages and Numbers under my Applications, I can get them to work. However, when I open old documents saved on my computer, they go into the 'old' iWork messages of that my trial has expired. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize that I've purchased Pages and Numbers?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • I there a way to send a video in a text with the new ios 5.0 from the video folder?

    I just upgraded to ios 5.0 on iphone 4s and videos are now in a new folder. Is there any way to text or email these videos from the folder?

    There is no "out of box" tool per se that does this type of task, but you could probably script it with an Action that uses JavaScript.  If you are not familiar with Acrobat JavaScript then you will need to find someone who is familiar with it to assist you in building it.

  • After installing the new IOS 7 can't close apps I'm not using

    I used to be able to double click to bring up the apps I wanted to close out of (thus, helping my system not bog down).  I guess this is no longer an option with IOS 7?

    It is still an option... look to your right under "More Like This" for related discussions. -->
