IOS 8 has made my iPad 2 a terror to use - is there a way to fix / downgrade back to iOS 7?
Someone please help - my dad is mad that I updated our iPad 2 to iOS 8. He says - and I agree - that the third party apps are extremely laggy (especially Piano Tiles by Umoni and Scramble with Friends by Zynga) to the point that they are almost unusable. And apps such as Safari, Mail, and Weather will simply lag out and go to Home Screen. The home button will take up to 5 seconds to respond, and buttons on the keyboard and password login will lag behind when you tap. Internet pages take up to twice the time to load. I have a iPad 2 with 16 gb storage (now 2.3 gb), and it is terrible to use now. If there is a way - ANY WAY - that I can get iOS 7 back or get a patch for iOS 8 - I would be SOOOOO happy. I'm open to suggestions!
Thanks and Please Help

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings

i cannot sit outside for more than 45 minutes without my ipad shutting down due to heat. is there a way to fix this?
What model iPad? What is the outside temperature?
When outside what are you doing on the iPad - running a graphic intensive app?
iPad operating ambient temperature: 0° to 35° C (32° to 95° F)

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?
Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank youMy Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

Since installing iOS 8.1.2 on my iPad, the facebook app stopped working. Is there a way to fix it or go back to the previous iOS?
Sorry, no. If Facebook isn't compatible with the current iOS it's on Facebook to make its app compatible.
Have you tried to access facebook via safari? I personally abandoned the app years ago due to it being very buggy. I access it via safari with no issues -
Is there any way to fix the flash and poor photo quality after iOS 7 upgrade?
Hi everybody,
Since upgrading to the new iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 ... I have experienced poor photo (grainy) and the flash works when it feels like it... Is there any way
possible to revert back at least on the camera settings or is there a fix that can be downloaded to solve this problem? I take and use my camera a lot on my iphone5 and for me to have this problem it has made me really regret ever upgrading and I am starting to lose my faith in Apple products. I have searched the entire web and it appears there are a ton of people experiencing this same problem.!!!!Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

Hello,
I went vacation and in the middle of this, in the hotel pc, i put my pictures on the ipad in order to empty my camera card. When I came back I`ve put the Ipad to sync with my home pc and the ipad deleted all the pictures. Is there a way to recover it? Before the delete process the Ipad made a backup with itunes, but I can`t find these pictures anywhere. Please help, this is really important to me.Photos in the Camera Roll are not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPad's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The Camera Roll is not touched and can't be deleted with the iTunes sync process.
One way photos in the Camera Roll can be removed is by importing the photos with your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete, but then the photos would be available on your computer. iTunes does not handle the import of photos from any digital camera including from the iPad's Camera Roll.
Another way is by restoring the iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup.
Another way is by transferring the backup from another iPad to a new iPad the first time a new iPad is connected to iTunes on the computer used for syncing with another iPad.
None of the ways to remove photos from the Camera Roll involve syncing with iTunes only. -
my phone updated to ios 7.1 by itself and i dont like it. is there any way i can change back to 7.0.4?
iOS 7.1 hosts a bunch of security fixes which you do need to keep your phone safe, and as has been said you cant go back anyway.

My daughter accidentally deleted her texting app off of her i-pod 4th generation. Is there a way to get it back? Or, is the there a way to re-install or install a new one. The issue seems to be not being able to load a newer ios.
Hello rkoslosky,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are not able to locate the Messages application on your daughters iPod touch (4th generation). The good news is that this application cannot be deleted or restricted. The first suggestion I have is to try and search for Messages using Spotlight to search the iPod touch for this application. If Messages is located in Spotlight, then it has probably been moved to a different page of applications or even possibly a folder of applications on the device. Searching all pages will help you locate it.

Have a great day,

- Just transfer the apps and iBooks to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
- Preferences and photos taken by the iPad are included in the backup that iTunes makes

I purchased a Holux M-1200E Bluetooth GPS Data Logger. The device paired with my laptop just fine so I know it is working right. The device will not even show up on my iphone or ipad to pair via bluetooth. Is there a way to pair without jailbreaking??? I haven't had any trouble to date pairing any devic with my iphone or ipad, this is ridiculous!!!! Is there a way to update my bluetooth settings on my iphone 4s to be able to have this device be recognized??? I love my apple devices, but this is very frustrating. I bought this Data Logger for a specific purpuse to help out with my Search and Rescue volunteer activities, and I really need help with this!!! I am hoping apple will help me!!!
Thanks,

I looked at the same sight for that and it does not say that. This is the first time I have posted a question, you don't have to be mean about it. I am trying to get this to work for a good cause.
It may be the best source of assistance is the manufacturer of the device. I suspect you will need a specific app for the iPhone to get it to work, but the site is rather ambiguous about that. -
My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvageable with my itunes library on it. My ipod still has all of my music still on it.
Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I dont know if I should add it to notes, or calendar date. By the way, I tried the app, lose it. I didnt like it. I especially interested in the terminology. I find with Siri, the proper word sequence is critical.
