IOS 8 nightmare do not download it.

after downloading iOS 8 my ipad2 is a nightmare to use?? Slow to respond, constantly crashing, shutting down Apps while I am using them, tried to print boarding passes today was impossibl??? I'v lost loads of info from my docs and bookmarks to name just a few issues really wish I hadnt downloaded it now.
Apple what have you done? How come this was not tested on all models of iPad and iPhone prior to releas ?
Is this just a way of making us all buy new iPad or iPhone?
IM very happy with my iPad and until apple bring out a new one that really does do more I won't be changing. Unless it's to buy the new Microsoft tablet which is looking better to me every day.

Try these suggestions, in this order.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data.
Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If those three things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
If all of that fails, restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad before you restore, then restore the backup when you are done. If that still doesn't help, restore your iPad as new and start all over again. Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store.

  • IOS 8 will not download to my iPhone 6

    Hi folks! I have been trying to download iOS 8.2 to my iPhone 6 and my iPad 2 since it came out. In both cases the file downloads all the way and then the computer or device takes a few minutes installing. Then it tells me that an error occurred during the download and I would need to restart the download (no error code given). This has happened for both devices both using iTunes on my computer and trying to download it directly to the device. The same thing happens in all cases. Anyone else dealing with this and have you found a solution?
    Thanks!

    Hi hhdoerr333,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are not able to update to the most current version of iOS on either your iPhone or iPad. In this situation, I would suggest placing your devices in recovery mode to run the update from your computer. This will only update and install the newest version of iOS and not affect your data. 
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • IOS 6 is not downloading

    Why won't iOS 6 download on my iPhone 4? Whenever I try to download it takes 5 mintutes for it to tell me that iOS Software Update has failed.

    Disconnect your iPhone
    Hold down the Home and Power button until it shuts off if necessary
    Hold down the Home button for 20 seconds
    Connect it to your computer after 20 seconds but continue to hold down the Home button
    Wait for iTunes to show up and acknowledge you are in recovery mode

  • Trying to reinstall apps on ipad after ios upgrade but not downloading.

    Just upgraded both my ipad 1 and iphone 4 to iOs 5 and both had all the apps deleted after the upgrade. I'm manually reinstalling the apps but while the apps download and install fine on my iphone they are hung up in the "waiting" mode on my ipad.  Checked and the ipad is connected to the internet since I can surf the web still on the ipad.  Anyone else having issues like this?

    Change to the correct store this way.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
    Tap your ID
    Tap View Apple ID
    Enter your password
    Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store.
    Or swipe down to he bottom of the App Store in the featured tab and tap on your Apple ID. Sign out of your ID and then sign in again and see if that changes the store for you.

  • IOS 8.1 Does Not Download All iCloud Mail/ Keeps Cache?

    Hello,
    I have setup and enabled an iCloud e-mail account on all of my devices and was successfully able to use the Mail app in Mac OS X Yosemite to copy mail from my Yahoo! inbox to my iCloud inbox.  All e-mail copied from Yahoo! Mail appears in the OS X Yosemite Mail app as well as in the iCloud.com site, however, my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 5 both running iOS 8.1 does not download all of the mail from iCloud.  I have tried the following on both iOS 8.1 devices with no success.
    - Disable iCloud mail and re-enable
    - Sign completely out of iCloud and sign in again, then reconfigure all iCloud services including mail
    The result of both steps is that the incomplete list of e-mail in the iCloud inbox just reappears in the Mail app instead of downloading from iCloud again.  It looks like the incomplete list of e-mail is stored on the iOS device and signing out of or disabling iCloud mail just hides it; re-enabling or signing in merely shows it again.  This appears to work differently than my Yahoo! Mail configuration where if I sign out of or delete the Yahoo! account and reconfigure, iOS downloads a fresh copy of all e-mail in the inbox and all other folders.  Here are my two questions:
    - How do I get my iPhone and iPad Air 2 to download ALL e-mail from my iCloud mail account?
    - Are my suspicions true? Does iOS actually store a cached copy of iCloud mail on the device when the service is disabled and just "redisplays" it when re-enabled?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem. My iCloud it's a mess since the iOS 8.1 update.
    Probably your iCloud isn't working too.

  • Ios 3.1.1 will not download for the 1st generation ipod touch

    Why won't ios 3.1.1 download for the 1st generation ipod touch?  It will start and then a second later stop.

    Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
    Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
    Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps?  You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • IPhone and iPad iOS 5.1: Gmail IMAP attachments not downloading

    I'm having an issue with Gmail (IMAP) not downloading attachments from myself! (I use Gmail to archive documents, etc). Same issue on my iPhone 4 and iPad 3, both iOS 5.1, using the default mail app with default "Gmail" account (IMAP) set up.
    They *were* both working fine, then I erased both devices for a clean install. Set up the email accounts again, now none of my own attachments download on either device.
    When I say not downloading, I see the attachment download box (dashed box with download arrow inside), and on pressing it, the attachment downloads (0 to XX kb), but then the download box just flashes back to showing the file size, and the attachments do not show. I keep pressing the download box but it flashes and nothing happens. Same with .jpg .png .doc .xls .pdf, etc.
    BEFORE THE FORMAT:
    All attachments downloaded correctly (as far as I can remember) before I had erased both devices.
    NOW:
    Attachments sent *from* me ([email protected]), via Gmail website, to me or anyone else, BEFORE formatting my iPad 3 and iPhone 4, do NOT download. However, if I then forward the email, including attachments, the attachments appear in the outgoing message preview! (so they're not corrupt)
    Attachments sent *from* me ([email protected]), via Gmail website, to me or anyone else, AFTER formatting my iPad 3 and iPhone 4, DO download and correctly appear in the email.
    Attachments sent *from* me ([email protected]), via iPhone/iPad, to me or anyone else, any time BEFORE or AFTER formatting my iPad 3 and iPhone 4, appear correctly.
    Attachments sent from anyone else, *to* me ([email protected]), always appear correctly.
    On a friend's iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1), adding my gmail account using the default "Gmail" setting (IMAP) works fine - all attachments download and show!
    On a friend's iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1), adding my gmail account using the default "Gmail" setting (IMAP) replicates my problem - all attachments from me (sent before the format) do not download. (So it's not specific to my own devices!)
    Gmail Exchange server (m.google.com) works fine: all attachements download and show correctly. Also no problem using Thunderbird IMAP or the Gmail web interface.
    So it looks like it might be a problem with iOS 5.1, however it all seemed to be working fine before I did the erase/format... and new emails sent from me always appear correctly... actually that might explain why it was working before (as I was always downloading new emails, and not looking at archives).
    So the only other thing that might have changed is some IMAP server setting? Could the headers or mail flags have changed somehow for older emails??
    Any thoughts? :-/

    I reproduced this problem over the weekend, on friends' iPhones (all running iOS 5.1). Opening their Gmail sent folder and trying to view an attachment sent from a while back (basically one that hasn't already been cached by the Mail app) failed to display. Exactly the same problem - download arrow flashes and attachement won't show / can't be opened.
    I'm in the UK, but not sure if that affects anything.
    Thinking this might be a bug in the Mail app in iOS 5.1, as earlier versions work fine.

  • Why do songs and apps not download or update on iPhone 4 with iOS 5?

    After updating my son's phone to iOS5 his apps will not update via WiFi and his purchased album from iTunes on the phone will not download.

    It is iOS 6, not 5.

  • IOS 8.3 is not downloading/updating

    My iPad 2 is not downloading iOS 8.3 (I've tried 3 different times). Each time I've tried, it becomes a black screen that alternates with a black screen with white-apple logo.....for HOURS. A couple days ago when I tried, it was over 24 hours that it kept alternating between the two screens, and while it's doing that, I cannot turn it on at all (even if I try to hold the power and home buttons down for 10+ seconds). I've tried the update with it plugged into the wall in 2 different places, unplugged, and now plugged into the computer connected to iTunes. That's not making any difference. Each time it does come back on, it's not updated to iOS 8.3 and still has the red 1 on the Settings app to update.
    How long should the iOS update take?
    If it's alternating between the totally-black screen and the black screen with apple logo, does that mean it's updating that entire time??
    Please help! I want to actually be able to use my iPad.
