Ios8 on iPad air problems.
1. Twice my iPad has gone blue screen on me and restarted.
2. When I open safari, after that five finger closing app method does not work and I have to use the home screen button.
3. There is unbelievable lag and when I push up to display all apps, sometimes the screen goes blank showing only my wallpaper.
4. My cellular network doesn't work half the time too.
5. Screen rotate doesn't work sometimes.
is this because of the update since before that everything was perfectly fine. If so what do I do?
I Too have had awful problems on my iPad Air after doing the IOS8 update, particularly in Safari with select&paste working incorrectly, the delete button only works after repeated attempts and the back button isnt working correctly. I tried doing a factory reset and things were better for a while, but the problems have now resurfaced. My iPad has gone from being a most useful machine to a piece of junk.
i Was going to get an iPhone6, but Apple has shot itself in the foot with this update and I'm not going to waste my money

HT4623 After updating it to ios8 my ipad air restart automatically
Recently everybody has received the update to ios8, but after updating it to ios8 my ipad air automatically restart during working.
Hi .
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings -
I install Facebook 16.0.0.13.22 version on an iPad Air and I cannot see friends profile and post in their walls. When I enter to one profile I can go back, so I have to reset te app.
I have an iPhone 5 with the same version and it is working well and a friend have the same iPad Air and he does not any problem.
I already reset the factory setting and restore a copy and the problem continue.
Could anybody help me please?

New Safari on IOS8 on iPad air.
Hi. I just upgraded to IOS8 on my iPad air yesterday and wish I never bothered because the new Safari is ridiculously annoying to use. The address bar disappears when u scroll down and reappears when u scroll up. This is largely pointless to begin with but its a nice extra to let you use the whole screen, that's of course if it was practical and actually made browsing better.
You have to scroll far too far up to get the address bar and tabs back again. It's just so stupid why make people do that to change a tab. Why add that extra annoyance?
Also, when u zoom out on a page you are suddenly thrown into an odd windows where you can see all your open tabs. Why? Why would anyone want this? Not knowing anything about the feature I have closed tabs by simply not knowing what's happening.
This isn't related but I've been literally tortured with safari on ipad with tabs constantly refreshing which everyone has heard of and agree that it's very annoying. This just makes using safari a real chore.
If i was in charge of this and could sack people behind this I would sack them all. I love Apple software because it's so easy to use but no one seems to support that approach at apple any more.
Anyway im off to check safaris settings to see if I can disable these annoyances and get back to the easy to use safari. I cant check now because if I leave this page for a short while the oage will refresh and I'll have to type this all again lol. Dear goodness what is happening!
Rant over.great solution skydiver--to say go find another browser. Hate to be mean about it, not your fault.
but apple screwed up on this one. acting more and more like MS and for example MS office which expands to do so much that only power users appreciate it.
I have had apples since 1982 and the 2e and this update pushed me over the edge.
I hate the keyboard and the new icon figure at the bottom, which if you have been typing for decades its easy to touch/swipe and change the keyboard.
do not like the pull down for books marks changing back to left side and function pull down swithching back to right side not that I am comfortable with the reverse change of 2 years ago.
and do not like the idea of the bookmark pulldown staying there and making screen smaller so an extra tap is required to close teh pull down. Whose idea was that?
as long as I am here, the new iphone--actually some people like a smartphone with the smaller screen that gives functionality in small package that could easily fit in a shirt pocket or slacks. ANot everybody is searching for a one unit solution to everything. any larger and we need bigger restaurant tables to hold 4-6 computers.
done with my rant too--it appears many others wil wake up today and upgrade and be surprised. -
IPad Air-problem with upgrading to 7.04
I have problem with my brand new iPad Air. After turning it on and setting everything up, suddenly it has shown that there is upgrade to iOS 7.04. I accepted terms and conditions, it has started to upgrading, but nothing is happening, no progress. Ideas what I can do? I can't click or do anything, even cant turn it off. I guess that only option is hard reset but isn't that dangerous during upgrade?
Reset iPad and continue with update.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected. -
Losing hotspot personal when updating ios8 onn ipad air
my device is ipad air 16gb 4G . on ios 7 i can use hotspot personal , but when i update ios 8 , i can't find hotspot personal under cellular in settings .
somebody has problem like this ??????Yes, an iPhone can provide a WiFi connection to which you can connect and use the carrier's data network - if your carrier supports it. Some do not and others charge extra for the feature.
Also, one major hardware difference you may not be aware of is that WiFi-only iPads do not have GPS capability. If that is something you will every need, opt for the LTE model that includes it. -

The New Ipad Air Problem with Yahoo Messenger Webcam
I installed yahoo messenger in my new ipad air. The webcam is not working. Please suggest me how to fix it. Thanks
First thing to try is a reset: Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
If that doesn't work, you might try getting hold of Yahoo since it's their app that's causing the problem. Try searching on Google for others who've solved it. -
NEw iPad air won't download apps after installing ios8. Hangs up in waiting mode
This is still happening after a week. Kind of annoying to only be able to get updates through my PC.
Here is the message I get on my iPad2:
Sign in to the iTunes Store
If you have an Apple ID, sign in with it here. AOL members can sign in using their AOL username and password.
Cancel/Buy
The Cancel/Buy are the two button choices. If I click cancel it cancels. If I click buy it shows the same message.
Again, I'm already signed in, can buy and download new apps, but cannot download updates or previously purchased apps. Yes, I can download those two things through my PC, but would like a solution to this regardless.
I've tried:
-signing out and signing in
-same thing, but powering down my ipad in between
-same thing but also setting the date forward in between (heard this works for some people)
I'm still thinking it will "fix itself" at some point, but who knows. -

TS2634 iPad Air problem.
My new iPad Air doesn't have the button "Cover On/Off" so I can't use my cover. What is my problem and how can i fix it ?
It may be a problem with that iPad then. If the soft-reset hasn't fixed it then you could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings (which will reset any settings that you've changed on ir) and see if that gets it to appear when you reconnect the cover, and/or resetting back to factory detaults and see if it then appears (if you do that then make sure that you first copy all purchases to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and take a backup so that you can then restore it back onto it)

Just unboxed my iPad Air went on with the set up when the screen goes blue than black then the apple logo comes on then the slide bar screan apears.This happens every 2-3 min.I finished the set up sync to itunes after 2-3 min again, the connection with iTunes is lost after a couple of seconds back to the slide screen.Should I return it?I allways was apple is the best but after this with a new product out of the box and consider the price I realy dont know.
Ok guys, I think i fixed the problem(well not me but at least someone did). I went from the iPad on Apple web support selected iPad entered the serial number than select Service Request & Troubleshooting typed in the text box my problem after a small window poped up to enter my email.After I pressed continue the test started, at the same time as part of the test I had to go check my email and select the one from apple, open and there was a quick test to select.Done that then returned to the web test.After few seconds there was a message with test completed and since then the problem is gone! Amaizing! Hope it lasts. Also it sounds hard to do but its not.For me the only problem was the time 3min 10 sec not enough but after 5 times I master my technique !

I am from Malaysia and I have bought an IPAD Air.Since my husband didn't use it for a long time, our family has definitely forgot the
Passcode.
Thought that restoring the Ipad would work, however we were prompted to fill in the Apple ID and its password. The Apple ID shows up to be [email protected]. So we thought that the Apple ID would be ******
We forgot the password, so we went to https://iforgot.apple.com/ and try to reset the password. We were given two options: Email authentication and Answer security questions. We forgot the email password so we proceed to answering security questions. Then it prompted me to filled in the birthdate.
I filled in the correct birthdate but it shows up to be wrong. Then we tried my other family members' birthdates and all wrong, and we were not able to fill in the birthdate for the next eight hours.
On the next day, I tried filling in January 1 and succeeded. The security question turned out to be "Como te dicen"(which we don't even understand what it means). So I want to know if I have recklessly connected my husband's IPAD Air with a foreign Apple ID, or I have enter the wrong Apple ID the whole time, or the Apple ID is being hacked? Thanks!
<Email Edited by Host>It is more likely than not that you have simply just mistaken the email. Unless he made that email back when hotmail was first started a LONG time ago, its unlikely that it is just his name with no numbers or anything else with it. I think you just got a lucky guess on the birthdate.
Go to https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid and see if you can locate his Apple ID. If you still are stuck contact Apple for further assistance with locating the correct account. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security -
