IPad 2 and iPad Mini Slow and Buggy after iOS8 "Fix"

After living with an EXCEPTIONALLY slow and buggy iPad Mini (1st gen, still available from Apple Store, BTW) since iOS8 was released, I discovered something...
Deleting the Facebook App and the Facebook Messenger App - AND THEN REBOOTING THE iPAD - makes a DRAMATIC difference in performance of the entire iPad...
Once deleted and rebooted, you'll be able to:
1. Cut, copy and paste work again
2. Say goodbye to those long periods waiting for apps to load, crash and reload
3. Run faster and much more reliably
I have NO idea why FB and iOS 8 on older devices is a problem at the system level, but I have found that it DEFINITELY is. All it takes is running FB once on a freshly booted iPad and the problems begin.
I deleted those after trying every fix every person on the discussion board suggested (settings, resetting networks, etc) and it's been several days of an iPad running the way it did under iOS7.
SO...don't shoot the messenger. While this isn't a permanent 'fix', it DOES fix the iPad/iOS8 problems except for the fact that you'll need to use FB from Safari or a browser until they sort it out.
Again, these are my findings. I'd love to see if others experience the same thing... If this doesn't work for you, you can always reinstall FB.

I too am having a similar issue though most of it is with browsing on Safari. That is the load speed of pages became 1990s dailup slow. I believe it has to do with memory, or lack thereof. Something in iOS8 is chugging the system and slowing everything down. I don't know of any solutions. Very frustrating.

Ipad mini apps not updating after ios8.2 update

apps not updating after software update ios8.2 on ipaD MINI WITH RETINA SCREEN

Turn off any auto-update, if it is on, then tap any of the "circle icons" showing that a download is in progress, in order to stop the download. Then go to the Settings and reset the Network Settings. After the iPad starts back up, then check to make sure no apps are currently in progress of downloading. If any are, stop them again, and reset the network settings again. When it starts up again, none should be in the process of downloading. Then from that point forward, only download manually and never more than two at a time. If it is more than 100 MB, then do only one at a time. If any gets stuck at that point, then stop the download and reset the Network settings.
That should take care of you for now. We'll see what another update brings ... IOS 8.2 (which might be the next one).

Okay , you should only delete EMPTY DUPLICATED folders, not preview folders or any others. I would put them all back. Then just delete any DUPLICATED EMPTY folders, do not disturb any other folders. On iOS switch off DOCUMENTS AND DATA under ICLOUD in SETTINGS. Do this on all iOS devices not just the one. Once deleted DUPLICATE FOLDERS on the mac in MOBILE FOLDERS then exit the LIBRARY. Open PAGES on your MAC and view folders on icloud. Check everything is all there as expected. If okay then DELETE and re-install PAGES app on iOS - THEN switch on DATA and DOCUMENTS in ICLOUD. Now open PAGES. If you have Time Machine on you can recover any 'lost' doc files and restore them from your mac from pages application. Try the process again and do not disturb any folders other than ones I mentioned as this is the system files LIBRARY. It is not a place to be over zealous in moving, altering and deleting folders and files. Take care please.

IPad 1 slow to start. Any fixes?

IPad 1 slow to start. Any fixes?

My iPad 1's slow response really annoyed me, specifically on Safari. This weekend I spent a lot of time reading various discussions dating back a couple of years. I was so frustrated I "restored" my iPad to an out-of-the-box condition and re-registered the iPad (but still with the last 5.1.1 iOS).
This helped until I restored the iPad getting much of my data transferred back (except my movies, books, and music, which took up a lot of memory and I didn't use much from the iPad, for now). My iPad was slow again.
I turned off most or all Notifications and ICloud functions (from System). I'll turn them back on later to see how they affect speed. I did keep Find My iPhone (iPad) on.
Here's what seemed cure my problem. BOOKMARKS BAR. This entire section I had synced with my iPad. It was packed with many duplicates of bookmarks from several years. I tried manually deleting the bookmarks within the iPad but it was taking hours to do so one-by-one. There were hundreds, perhaps thousands.
I went back to my Mac Mini base station and deleted all of them, including many prepacked folders and individual bookmarks/web addresses. I then synced my iPad again with the box checked in iTunes to replace the bookmarks in the iPad with the (now empty/zero) Bookmarks Bar in my Mac Mini.
My Safari responsiveness returned. I just did this less than an hour ago, but so far, I'm happy.
Yes, I'll need to manually add back my bookmarks as I go, but I can remember mostly what I'll use on a daily basis or I can just research them again as if it was the first time going to a website.

Ipad mini (iOS 6.0.2) wifi fixes don't work

please don't reply to this with the fixes that are already posted a zillion times in these forums. they aren't working for me (and it looks like a lot of other people). my question is what to do once we're beyond all those. i received an ipad mini for xmas, and it's running iOS 6.0.2, which is supposedly better than its predecessor (how that can be, i'm not sure). i love this device enough to continue to put up with the issues, so returning it is not an option. however, i'm hopeful that someone out there has talked to a mac genius and discovered some trick to keep the wifi connected for longer than a second or two intermittently.
if that's not the case, then when can we expect 6.0.3 or 6.1 to actually resolve the issue? or (gulp...) is it hardware related?
thanks,
Michael

Since the vast majority of iPad mini users are not having WiFi problems then, if you are having consistent WiFi problems on all networks, you very likely have a hardware problem with your iPad mini. This probably cannot be fixed by any iOS software update. The iOS 6.0.2 software fix likely was for a bug that only showed up with certain access points or network configurations. The only way to get your problem fixed is to get your iPad mini replaced by Apple. The fastest way to do this is via the Apple store but you can also arrange for replacement if you contact Apple support.

Ios 7.0.4 in ipad mini, slow but fixable

Well i just got an ipad mini and when i updated to the latest ios some things are very slow like scrolling and taking the notification center down... its very slow ... But with some changes that are not to be consider permanent because i hope this get fixed soon you can speed up your ipad mini.
In settings go to general and accessibility and then turn on reduce motion and increase contrast..
This help me get some speed tot he ipad in this ios

You can not restore without using the latest available os, unless hyou have jailbroken your device. Apple does not support downgrades on iops devices. and if jailbroken, your warrenty and support is no longer valid including assistance from this forum.

IPad Mini Retina acts buggy w/ enclosed 10W charger ?

My new 16G iPad Mini Retina 4GLTE came with a 10W charger. But as soon as you plug in the charger (I use an electrical outlet and NOT a computer) the iPad starts acting buggy; it will continuously blink and beep on and off-- the same as usual if the iPad has just been plugged in to charge, but it will blink off immediately and then blink/beep on and off again continuously until it's unplugged.
It's hard to say whether the iPad battery is actually charging in this state, because I unplug it right away from being freaked out. I do not see the little "lightning" charge icon next to the battery indicator though, so I doubt it.
Other 10W adapters from older iPads which have worked perfectly fine before, behave exactly the same way when plugged into the Mini. Thankfully, I have a 5W charger from an iPhone5, and that seems to do the trick.
But what if I didn't have a 5W charger? Is there a fix for this? Shouldn't a 10W charger work fine? Is there something wrong with my iPad Mini Retina?

Is this an Apple charger? Presumably yes.
The Apple 10W charger should work fine with the iPad Mini Retina.
There could be a problem with the Retina iPad Mini.
If this problem occurs regularly take it and the charger to an Apple Store for evalution or contact Apple Support.

Why is the iPad Mini slower than iPod touch 4 at buffering video?

As mentioned in the title I have an iPad Mini that is being outperformed by my iPod touch 4. I have been using both devices on the same network and on You Tube the iPod is a lot faster at loading, Furthermore, when using BBC iPlayer I can connect with the iPod and watch whereas the iPad Mini comes up that there is insufficient bandwidth and doesn't even play.
I was convinced that the iPad Mini would be faster than my iPod which is a year older. I am really disappointed about this and have tried as many things as I can possibly think of. Is anyone else out there experiencing these problems and, if so, do you have any advice on what I can do to solve this problem.
Kind regards,
Emubob

I noticed that my iPad is far more sensitive to signal fluctuations than my MBP. The MBP would report 5 bars, but the iPad would drop the connection every 3 seconds. It turned out that the router was varying the signal, and the iPad couldn't keep a solid connection.

IPAD MINI SLOW CHARGE

IPAD MINI 16 GB IOS 7
Device will not charge but about 2 percent a hour. Charging indicator does not show it is charging. Worked fine till about 3 weeks ago. Have swapped cables and chargers tried resets but no changes. Clueless has to issue. Never seen this before with any other ipads or Iphones.
Appreciate any suggestions or things I may have missed trying.

How are you trying to charge it? Plugged into the computer or plugged into the wall?

Ipad mini not installing updates after 8.0.2

after I upgraded my ipad mini, I can't install updates from the App Store. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have two different ISPs. My connection to U-verse is very slow, but my iPad mini connects rIght away and stays connected. My TWC connection is much faster yet the iPad connection lasts for a very short time, unless I am sitting directly in front of the router with the iPad almost touching it. It always shows that the iPad is connected though. Otherwise I am constantly rebooting the iPad, removing and re entering the router info, turning wifi on and off, etc. before the 8.0 update, my mini worked perfectly.

Ipad mini problem with wifi after update 6.1.3

Hello!
My ipad mini was working fine before the 6.1.3 upgrade, immediately after updating, the wifi stopped working. Restore the iPad to its factory settings as deleting both my data and to reintroduce the network, was still not working.
Help please!

Try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Some other things to try:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Ipad mini retina since update to ios8.2 cannont update or install any appscircle just keeps spinning round also updated today to ios8.1 still not sorted problem out done hard reset several times no joy any body else got same issue

ipad mini cant update any apps or install new ones since updated to ios8.02 and now today updated to ios8.1 still cant update apps the circle just keeps spinning round, i have done a hard reset etc no joy, anybody else got same problem.

VPN-User,
Ok - I see the list of issues and will ensure our X300 specialist takes a look at it.
Please do understand that while you have put together a very coherent list, I try to ensure priority to threads in which multiple customers are focused on a single issue, as we deliver the most benefit to the community in working on those. This forum is primarly a peer to peer discussion forum rather than a Lenovo chat / tech support where we try to solve each and every issue put forth.
Individuals with a long list of issues on a particular machine may find benefit from either contacting technical support and working through their list, or publishing it as you have done and wait for other users of the same system to share their experiences.
Thanks for your patience

IPad mini retina constantly reboots after iOS 8.1 update - help!

Hello,
I've downloaded on iPad mini Retina 16 GB iOS 8.1 update and installed it directly from the device (so no iTunes involvement). After it got installed with black apple on white screen (process seemed to be finished) - it started rebooting, but instead of starting up it shows shortly (for just a second) blue screen, after goes black and then reboots again - and all this in constant flux: white screen with black apple - blue flash - black screen - white screen with apple. Connecting to iTunes doesn't make anything - it doesn't recognise the device while in state of reboot.
What can I do?
Help!

Hey there,
Got exactly the same problem here. Can't even reset/ shut off the device, so it keeps on flashing with the blue screen.

Why my iPad mini 2 no sound after updated to iOS8

Why my iPad mini with retina display no sound after updated to iOS8

I solved for my ipad mini retina:
- Go to Settings->General
- Change the function of the slider on the side of the ipad from 'rotation lock' to 'sound off'
- Wiggle the slider up and down
- Sound is restored
- You can set the slider back to rotation lock again

Ipad mini will not restore after ios update 7.1.2

Hi Community,
I recieved a message last night about the update 7.1.2 for my ipad mini. I left my ipad on overnight while plugged in while it was updating. i woke up this morning seeing my ipad must be connected to itunes. I connect my ipad to itunes and it must be restored. Every time i try to restore and update the ipad from itunes i get the error code 3004. I have tried hard resetting the ipad, re-downloading the latest version of itunes, and disconnecting and reconnected the usb plug.

Hello, Ronald.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing error 3004.
Resolve network errors
Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, 3200, or "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build.". These alerts mean that your computer is either having difficulty contacting the Apple update server or communicating with your device.
Check your computer for software or settings that might cause communication issues between your computer and Apple or between your computer and your device.
