Has Anyone Had Good Luck After Upgrading iPad 1 To iOS5e Experiences With iPad 1

Guessing, but posts here seem 20:1 negative after upgrading iPad 1 to iOS5.
Most common is huge slowdown in response and crashing.
I'm a typical user in that I rarely post if not having trouble, so I suspect there are many iPad 1 users that have upgraded to iOS5 and have not noticed any significant hit in performance.
I'd like to hear from you folks that are happy.
Due to all the negative posts I'm holding up on upgrading my iPad 1 3G 64GB as my understanding is that there is no going back to iOS 4.3 after the upgrade to iOS5.
Should I upgrade or wait for an update?

iPad1, 64GB, 3G. I updated to iOS5 a couple of days after it was released (servers were too slow to connect on the first day. )  I had only one crash, and that was my fault.  (Moved Newsstand to a folder, which is not supported.)  Otherwise, all is fine.  As others have noted, on the iPad1, it's a bit slower, but nothing that's a dealbreaker IMHO.
The most difficult thing has been the amount of updates to the apps.  Nearly every app I have had an update for iOS5 so it was like I was seeing 3-5 new updates every day.  But I've kept with the updates and I think that has helped with my lack of crashes/lockups.
My only real complaint is with the way the iPod app changed to the Music app and how it now treats podcasts.  (The "previously played" indicator is now missing.)  And a few minor gripes like not having location based reminders (iPhone only feature. )  But otherwise, I'm reasonably satisfied with the update on my device.
If I had to make a recommendation, I'd be on the fence.  If there is a "must have" feature you want (e.g.: Airport configuration utility, Messages, Twitter integration,) then go ahead an update.  Otherwise, not updating now is probably not going to inconvinience you.  Eventually, there may be "iOS5 only" apps but by then, you'll probably be ready for a new iPad.

  • Has anyone had any luck viewing upgrade prices on devices on myverizon before their upgrade date?

    I have a single line account whose upgrade date is tomorrow, 8/30/2013, yet when I go to the upgrade my device option on Myverizon, all I can see in the way of device prices are full retail prices...no discounted prices or free phones for contract extensions. I did a live chat with a customer service rep who told me it was because 'prices are always changing." Why then, can I see the upgrade prices/deals on OTHER companies websites (ie bestbuy.com & samsclub.com)?? Don't their prices change as well?
    My sister, who is also a Verizon customer has a family plan with 5 lines. She was able to see upgrade prices on TWO of her lines a week before their eligible upgrade dates AND upgraded early. Perhaps because she has 5 lines and pays a bigger bill she gets better service than I do?
    I've been a customer since LA Cellular, who sold to Airtouch (back in the mid 1990's) who then sold to Verizon...I've had the same phone # and provider for close to 18 years and feel that this is not a great way to treat any customer.The same thing happened to me when I upgraded in 2011. I actually ended up upgrading with Best Buy almost a week before my upgrade date. I didn't want to do that this time, because I had technical issues with my phone and had to get a new one (through Best Buy's warranty...Verizon wouldn't honor the manufacturer warranty because I did not buy the phone from them) Best Buy & Verizon screwed up my data plan, causing me to lose 2 GB of data each month. ( I was on promotional 4GB of data for price of 2 GB, which did not get translated between Best Buy & Verizon when my phone was replaced.
    Has anyone else ever been able to view their upgrade prices on myverizon before their actual upgrade date? It's a moot point for me after tomorrow, but I plan to complain to their corporate customer service and any additional ammunition would be very helpful.

    Because you're not yet eligible for upgrade.  View the devices while not signed in and it will show 2 yr pricing by default.

  • Has anyone had any luck returning there iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months

    Has anyone had any luck returning their iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months & months .. The Apple tech told me that all I could do is wait for Apple to come up with a fix... Got a new router this week so that isnt' it.  Would I be better off w/o this until Apple gets their act together?  I downloaded the combo update 10.7.3 & it helped for about a day...  yesterday I still had to manually reset the connection but now it's resorting back to disconnectiong w/o fully going into sleep mode first.  Sorry to say this is a major lemon.  Help!

    Seems unfair... I thought I was probalby having a router problem...  got a new router this week. Thst's when we realized we have a computer problem.  My next door nieghbor got zero sleep staying up all night while trying to help us figure out what the problem could be. He said if it were him he would have returned the iMac / Lion.  Got the new iMac w/ Lion for Christmas but didn't realize until this week that Apple is the problem....  Hard to believe that Apple just has kept on selling this like ... oh  No problem!  Can't stay on the internet... but will sell you another one today!  I'm getting mad...  It's not every day we spend that kind of money on a computer .  & ALL they can give us is that LOUSY Lion combo update.  I can't even stay connected long enough to make a vitamin order with Puritan's Pride...  & then the disconnection wipes out my cart... so I have to  start over. When are they going to fix this!   'Not feeling very positive'.  I feel like Apple KNOWINGLY sold my husband a defective... system.  14 days... oh please...

  • I'm having trouble with my iMessages registration. Has anyone had any problems after they downloaded the mountain lion King with that iMessages because mine is not linking to the computer and my phone

    Is anyone else having trouble after thy downloaded Mountain lion x with iMessages mine isnt linking to my computer because it keeps saying i have a  registration error. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it

    HI,
    People who have had computer that has had the Logic/motherboard replaced during repair or refurbishment that has not has the Mac Serial Number Flashed to the board have found that iMessage in particular have not been able to "register".
    A current purchase of Mountain Lion will tend to give you the latest version which as of Thursday (12 th Mar) is OS X 10.8.3
    You can use System Information to find if the Serial Number is there as it appears under the Hardware section.
    If it is missing you need to get to an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider who can flash the info to the board.

  • Has anyone had any luck exporting to Flash from FC Server?

    We haven't been able to get it to work with any of the third party encoders (Telestream, On2, Adobe) for Flash. If anyone has it working we would love to know how you did it!

    I've also had no luck exporting to Flash, very frustratingly. In the logs I get an error message:
    *ERROR: EMISSINGPARAM*
    *Wrapper format missing from destination media format*
    I'm not using Episode, just have Flash installed on the server and created a Compressor QuickTime Export Components preset.

  • I'm trying to connect a Sony wireless keyboard and can't figure out how to get the iPad 2 to discover it.  Has anyone had any luck using a non-Apple wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Apple tech so far hasn't helped except to advise me to get manuals online that Sony doesn't post on its website.  I've sent off an inquiry to Sony but don't expect an answer.  Apple assumes my devices are bluetooth but the iPad2 hasn't figured out how to discover them, and I don't know how to make them discoverable.  I'd like to have the option to use them but so far haven't been able to figure out how.

    Heidi-
    On the iPad, go to Settings-General-Bluetooth.  Set Bluetooth to ON and a new window appears while the iPad searches for Bluetooth devices.
    To get the keyboard into a discoverable mode, you may need to remove its batteries for a while.  If it is not possible to get it to appear on the iPad, could the keyboard be defective?  Can it be discovered by other computers?

  • So, has anyone had better luck with the kt4 ultra's new bios?

    ive seen so many posts on here about probs with the board (mines memory related) wondering if anyone has any positive notes on the new bios, or if they are still having problems... i had to box mine back up and install the trusty old FIC board, cause i COULD NOT get the msi to work. VERY frustrating to have what seems like a great piece of hardware boxed up for bios/other issues. do the msi engineers read this board?????? come on guys.....

    the p/n is pp-303XP
    thats funny cause my system is working fine now on an older mobo. ive seen many people with similar problems (see the "MSI and a total lack of support" thread) and i really dont think its the power supply. i will reiterate:
    the system runs fine with only 256 megs installed (pc2400) as soon as i plug in the other stick, wallah, nothing. your saying that the 3.8 volts or whatever it is that the stick of memory consumes, prevents the computer from starting up or even posting? i seriously dont think so. ive even tried all different hardware configs (took the ati card out and replaced it with an old TNT card) and it still wont work.
    i dont need to get a bigger power supply.
    MSI needs to provide better support, and get off their %$#%$ and at least get a stable bios out. from the looks of the forum, these boards are totally $%^&&.

  • I am trying to run PLC programming software, Click, thru windows 8.1, has anyone had any luck?

    I am trying to run a PLC software, Click, on a Mac Pro with a windows partition and windows 8.1 software.  The software runs fine, but cannot recognize a USB port.  Does anyone have an answer for this or tried the same thins?

    I am trying to run iTunes on a PC with Windows 8.1, but the setup wizard tells me there is no space on the D:/ drive, which makes sense, since my D:/ drive is a CD-ROM.
    Even though you're getting a slightly different error message, try the following user tip:
    "Invalid drive X:\" install errors

  • USB PRINT SERVER... Anyone had GOOD luck with one ???

    I want to add a couple different USB printers, a scanner and ext drive to my home network. I want to find a good USB interface that will be hard wired to my router.
    I've seen some units with 1, 2 & 4 USB ports. Some will handle all functions, others just printing.
    Any ideas?

  • Has anyone had any luck compressing videos with resolutions higher than 1080?

    Everytime I try, it fails instantly.  Is this not allowed in Compressor 4?  It was possible in Compressor 3.

    I have a 4K video that I'd like to compress using H.264 or X.264 and restrict the data rate.
    Here are some details of the video (created in Motion) I am trying to compress:
    DIMENSIONS: 4096 x 2048
    FORMAT: H.264
    FPS: 24
    DATA SIZE: 53.2 MB
    DATA RATE: 52.03 MB
    and here are settings that I would like to compress it with using Compressor 4.0.4:
    CODEC: H.264 or X.264 (both fail)
    FRAME RATE: current
    KEY FRAMES: Automatic
    DATA RATE: Restricted to 7000 kbits/sec (setting it to automatic or any other data rate also fails)
    QUALITY: Best
    HEIGHT AND WIDTH: 100% of source
    I have been able to get a successful compression with this 4K video file using ProRes 422, so that leads me to think this is a codec problem, not a Compressor application problem. Furthermore, I have had the same problem just using Quicktime 7 to export a video with these settings, I get the same failed results.
    In Compressor it gives me the message Failed: Quicktime Error: -108
    and in Quicktime 7 it gives me the message Failed: qKitErrorCatchAll (-6662)
    So, if you had any suggestions about a better codec to use, one that allows me to restrict the data rate on higher than 1080 video files, it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Has anyone had any luck implementing their own Content Mgt SPI ?

    Hello,
    We have the content in a Vignette V7 using Oracle. We are weighing the pros and cons of pushing the content to the BEA Tables or implementing the SPI against the Oracle Tables in our Vignette Production Stage.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Its probably easier to write code to dump content+metadata into a file system area and have the BulkLoader push the content and metadata into Portal.

  • Has anyone had a problem using Mainstage 2 and Logic 9 with PreSonus fire studio Mobile?

    I Still can't get Mainstage and Logic to play well with my setup. I'm using a Mac Pro 2 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB ram and Logic 9.1.6 and Mainstage2. I have a PreSonus Firestudio Mobile and M-Audio Midisport midi interfaces. The only Midisport that works consistently is a MisiSport 2X2 sith a thru/merge switch set to merge. I am playing all of this with a Roland A-90 keyboard. Logic sometimes starts, but the audio interface doesn't work. Mainstage crashes on start-up. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hi
    There have been several reported issues on this forum about problems a) with Roland controllers (Sending MIDI Clock and 'All Notes Off' ???), and b) MIDSport interfaces

    I suggest that you try a 'scientific' process of elimination:
    Disconnect all external hardware, and try MS
    Connect the hardware singly, one at a time, to determine which is causing the problem

  • Has anyone had issues when trying to print a page developed with Adobe Muse?

    I designed a long form page for a client so it would be easier to read on a tablet but when I tried to print it so the client could make mark ups on it for changes many elements over lapped. I searched to see if someone else had the same problem but could not find an answer.

    Web pages, usually, are not print-friendly by default. Designers use to add a dedicated css file for printers.

  • Has anyone had listing in Notes disappear?

    Has anyone had listing in Notes disappear recently? I have an iPad 2 running 7.0.4. I had a really important note in there and went back to add to it and it's gone. Is there a time limit on them or a way to get it back or see what happened to it?
    I recently had a mini stroke and rely heavily on my iPad. I use Notes for important things to remember, Calendar to schedule my doctor appointments, and Facebook to keep in touch with friends.
    Please advise.
    Thank you!!

    I've had Notes disappear - and didn't realize what caused it until I read this post:
    check under settings> mail contact calenders and see if notes are turned on in your email.. if so they are being pulled into your email by your email account extremely common problem with yahoo. if the notes are on then they are in an inbox folder in your email titled notes.. turn notes off in the email and it will not happen anymore
    And another user suggests this:
    Quit the notes app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    See if that brings them back. If it doesn't. Backup the phone and restore the iPad from the phone backup. But that will restore all of the contents of the phone backup onto the iPad.
    Of course, the best way to preserve your Notes is to back them on the Cloud. It's free.
