IOS 5: iPad1 crashes in virtually all apps and is slow

After installing iOS5, I noticed that my iPad1 64 3G crashes in 95% of the apps installed, even the native Apple apps like Address Book, Twitter, Agenda and Safari. But also in Angry Birds, Google Earth and several other apps.
Also starting Agenda is really slow: between starting the app and a new entry can be entered, the iPad seems to wait for 15 seconds or more. Then entering the date and time and trying to save the entry also takes three times the time it did before the 'upgrade' to iOS5. The same with the Adress Book. It seems that these apps can't do anything before connecting to iCloud or getting an ok from it. Apparently it does not buffer data.
restrating the iPad sveral times made things a little better, but on the whole it is unstable and slow compared to iOS4xx.
Upgrading to iOS 5.01 helped: waiting times are ca 50% less, crashes appear only in 20% of the cases.
Who knows what causes these symptoms and what to do about it?

If you called Apple Care the techs would have you try a reset first. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
If that was not the solution the next step would be to restore the iOS device to its factory settings.

Since i uploaded ios 5 my ipad crashes when i use apps and safari.

Hi,
since i uploaded my ipad to ios 5 it crashes when i use apps and safari.
i tried to restat it and also i reset it to the factory settings but nothing has changed.
is there any software problems ??

seems if I disable all security it works. Not a very good situation, tells me it's a port that is open that shouldn't be. I imagine it is fine on a mac, but on a pc it is an issue since most corporations use pc's.

All apps and programs crashing even after restore

Hi, after my ipad completely died, all apps and programs now crash about 15-20 seconds after opening them. I have tried everything to correct this:
- uninstalling/reinstalling apps (even though this happens to the default apps as well, such as Settings and the App Store
- Cleared temp files/cookies
- Turned off Spotlight Search
- Closed down any open apps (do this all the time anyways to save batt life)
- Soft reset the device
- Completely restored the device
Nothing has worked and the closest Apple store is 3 hours away. I would prefer some other solutions other than being directed to the store if at all possible
Some other side notes:
- I have the original ipad 1
- I am on iOS 5.0.1
Thanks!!

Well here I am again after having to do this two more times, and guess what? Apps are closing out again...it only took a matter of hours for it to start happening again this time. There has got to be a better way to fix this...would a repair shop be able to figure out what the problem is? this is the only apple product i've ever owned and unfortunately, their lack of support and my experiences are not giving me the warm fuzzies...

2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back

Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back?

in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.

I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.

First and periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The iPad 1only has 256 MB of memory.
Next
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Can we restore all apps and music from our Purchase Hist in our ITunes acct

How do I restore all apps and music that have been purchased back on to an IPOD touch? The IPOD was locked and we had to reset it and now we have lost all of the apps and music that we had purchased from April 6, 2010 to now.

What has happened is the IPOD Touch account was originally set up on a laptop. That laptop crashed and we had to then set up the account in question on a Desktop. The IPOD was never synced. The IPOD was diabled because my daughter typed in the wrong password numerous times. So my 15 year old reset the IPOD and it wiped out all of the apps and music. Now I do not know how to restore everything.

IPad slow despite closing all Apps and rebooting.

Original iPad 64GB 3G running iOS 5.0.1 is noticeably slow. Even after closing all Apps and rebooting, my machine runs slow. I tried draining the battery and still no improvement. Am I to conclude that iOS 5 combined with regularly updating my Apps rendered the processor obsolete?

As the result of months of web surfing and testing, I could narrow down the issue at is causing performance on all our original iPads! One would say to turn all the iCloud features off, but I have found that there are major performance bugs in contacts and calendars! Turn them off in the iCloud part if the settings. This, alone with disabling spotlight search results in no keyboard lag and no "checkerboard effect" in safari whe pages won't load fast enough! I hope this helps everyone as it did to me!

I mean that i phone take time to open apps ,contact ,etc why? i close all apps and the problem still?

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

When I try to put the icon in the applications folder, it says it can't install it because this file is in use: libsoftokn3.dylib. Ihave closed all apps and I have no idea what this is.

When I try to put the updated Firefox icon into my applications folder, I see this message:
The operation can’t be completed because the item “libsoftokn3.dylib” is in use.
I have closed all apps and don't understand what this refers to.
Thanks!
