IPad 2 freezes for 1min to 3mins after ios8 upgrade

My faithful iPad 2 never had a problem until I upgraded to ios8.
IT now hangs, or freezes, and will not respond to touch or to buttons. I will pick up the iPad, click face book start to scroll and it frezes. Nothing I do will get it to work. I'll move my finger over the screen to scroll up or down and nothing happens. I'll try and press the home button and noting. I'll hold down the home button and nothing.
then after a minute or so it starts to work, I'll scroll up a bit and it will hang again. I again can't scroll or pressing the button does nothing. Then again after a minute or two it starts to work, and will act normally as if nothing happened. If I leave it for an hour or two without using it, then pick it up, it will do this again.
it never happened with iOS 7. I've updated to every variant of ios8 in hope the next release will fix it but it happens on every version .
ive clocked reset and wipe all , then reloaded as new ipad but this didn't work. It's as if ios8 has been deliberately released to stop older machines from operating. Ideally I'd like to go back to ios7 but that's not possible

Hi twigthewonderkid2,
If you are having an issue with your iPad becoming unresponsive I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
You have already done a number of the steps, and there is no need to repeat those.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

  • IPad apps can't access photos after iOS8 upgrade

    I've got a number of apps on my iPad that used to be able to access the photos in my iPad Photos app but no longer can access them.  I checked under Privacy > Photos that they are enabled and I went to General > Restrictions and made sure all restrictions are off.  I changed nothing after the upgrade and all the apps could access photos before the upgrade.

    Hold down ⌥ and ⌘ whilst launching photos and try repairing the library.

  • Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive

    Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive.
    Tried to reset pram, smc, nvram.
    Tried installing new RAM.
    Tried installing new hard drive.
    You should know that my internal drive is installed in a cheap external case and plugged in a USB 2.0 port because i am waiting for a new hard drive cable.all
    Yep all good things happened to me...i don't know if all these problems are linked, ahh and also my trackpad is behaving very erraticaly sometimes, it's like it is possessed by a ghost. My computer is not under warranty anymore so i'd like to avoid a trip to the Apple store but i'm close to doing just that.
    Any help appreciated...

    It's diagnostic software. It's supposed to help you find problems. I don't think anyone is making any software yet that fixes hardware problems.
    That said, the two comments:

    would lead me to think it's the logic board. On older MacBook Pro's both the USB I/O ports and the keyboard/trackpad are fed out of an integrated USB controller integrated into the South Bridge I/O controller. On newer models, the USB ports come out of an integrated North/South bridge controller and the keyboard/trackpad are handled by an SMC controller, which itself interfaces with the I/O controller. All of these items are on the logic board, and they're all unrepairable.
    ...unless of course the "internal drive [that] is installed in a cheap external case" is itself causing the problems. Another thing to try might be a different USB port, if you haven't done so already.
    I didn't know the price for Scannerz went up. I could have sworn I only paid 30-some bucks for it. Maybe it was on sale at the time. I don't remember.
    In any case, good luck.

    1. No
    2. You can only transfer a rental to an Apple TV 1, which Apple TV do you have.

  • After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.  Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?

    After IOS8 upgrade IPhone5s syncs with exchange but IPad2 syncs ONLY Mail and Contacts, NOT Calendar.
    Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
    Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
    THANKS

    1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
    2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
    3.     Select "See All Options"
    4.      Select "Phone" menu
    Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
    If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
    Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

  • Cannot stream video after iOS8 upgrade

    My iPad Mini no longer streams video after I upgraded to iOS 8. This includes Facebook videos, Youtube app, HBO Go app, Amazon on Demand app, Safari or Chrome. If I switch to either laptop or my iphone which runs iOS7, I have no troubles streaming any video.

    THe same situation on my iPad Air. For a short time helps hard reset but it is very frustrating...

  • Computer freezes for a few minutes after minimizing/closing Photoshop/InDesign

    Hello,
    So I've had this problem since I got the computer, but it has gotten much worse recently. After I work in photoshop and indesign for a few hours, I minimize both programs and the computer freezes for a good 4 or 5 minutes, even my winamp music player starts skipping. I'm thinking its the RAM that needs time to dump out the data and its doing it very slow.
    I have:
    Q8200 2.33 ghz overclocked at 2.51
    8BG of RAM
    ATI EAH4850 512MB
    I'm thinking it might the overclocking or the Not so high quality of RAM sticks. please let me know of any other suggestions.
    Thank you

    Thank you for the response. I disabled the overclocking and unchecked Export Clipboard. It seems to be a bit faster, but I haven't tried it extensively yet. I'm running XP x64, if that makes any difference.

  • AR8 freezes for about 40 seconds after start

    Hi,
    I use SuSE Linux 10.0 on a Thinkpad R51 and I installed the 8.1.1 enu rpm version of adobe reader and I use a dual head xinerama display.
    Biggest problem:
    Adobe Reader starts up normally and for about 2 secs, it can be used normally. Then, it freezes for about 40 seconds. Nothing is possible in this time. Afterwards, a normal use is possible.
    Minor problem:
    Everytime I open a PDF document with the Firefox plugin (FF 2.0.0.6), the plugin seems to be loaded and initialised again. This is very time consuming. In AR7, one had to wait for plugin initialisation only when opening the first pdf document.
    Is there a plan to fix these issues? Otherwise, I will downgrade to AR 7.0.
    Thanks,
    Al

    Hi Al,
    Could you answer the following questions in regards to your problem, for us to better understand the problem scenarios -
    Regarding your first problem ---
    1. The freeze after launch is happening on "every" launch of the reader, or is it occassional?
    2. When the reader window is hung, do you see any sort of progress bar or alert on the screen?
    3. If you try to launch the the reader from the terminal, do you see any alert/warnings on the console while the reader is hung?
    There is also a small exercise we would like you to do, in order to verify a known issue (you would need 'root' access to do the following) -
    * Temporarily rename the folder "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" (the font folder under /usr/X11R6) to something else (say "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts_dummy").
    * Restart acroread a couple of times.
    Do you still see the problem of the application getting hung? Please do let us know your observations. Also don't forget to restore the name of the folder "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" back to its original name.
    Regarding your second problem ----
    The behaviour is basically due to the browser's handling of external plugins. In Reader 7.0 due to some issues, we sometimes missed indicating to the browser that our work was done, and that is why an instance of the plugin persisted.
    This was however corrected and in Reader 8 we now correctly tell the browser when the PDF file is closed. It is at this point that the browser should decide whether to keep the plugin loaded or to close and unload it. And it seems that at present Firefox immediately unloads us after the last document is closed.
    Anyway thanks for pointing out the problem. We'll take note of it and try to find a workaround to improve the performance in the future release.
    Regards
    Salil

  • Freezing for a few seconds after switching tabs, freezing for a second without doing anything.

    Hello
    I use Firefox v. 25.0 (If i remember correctly I had this problem at 24 too) and I my browser freezes for a few seconds, maybe every 10 seconds. It only freezes for about give or take, 3 or 4 seconds but it is starting to bug me.
    I have tried
    -> Safe mode - still happens in safe mode.
    -> Restarting firefox (multiple times) - The last few restarts I have removed/disabled any add ons or extentions. It always starts with out the freezing, but maybe after 1 or 2 days the freezing comes back again. This time I'm just half way done with it so I haven't bothered to disable much.
    -> Checking for multiple duplicated files in the firefox folder - didn't have any.
    I apologize that this is a commonly asked question, but I wanted to see if I could get any help here before having to move to chrome (which is not recommended from my sister), or internet explorer (which is in my recycle bin...)
    Thank you in advance.

    Although your IE shortcut might be in the recycle bin, you'll still want to have IE installed for those special sites that only support IE...
    Do you usually have a lot of tabs open? By default, Firefox updates the file which stores open windows and tabs every 15 seconds. The larger this file gets, the longer this takes. A major overhaul was made for Firefox 25 to make this more efficient, so this might not be your issue, but you can stretch the interval out to 60 seconds and see whether that makes a difference. Here's how:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''session''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''browser.sessionstore.interval''' and change the value from 15000 to 60000 (this value is in milliseconds: 15000/1000 = 15 seconds, 60000/1000 = 60 seconds). I don't know whether this takes effect immediately or the next time you start Firefox.
    Does that help?
    If that doesn't make much/any difference, have you set up Firefox Sync?

  • Iphone freezes for a few seconds after unlocking HELP PLEASE

    This problem barley started today i have never dropped my phone or anything so i dont know why its acting like this.  It has IOS 5.0.1.
    It seems to lag when slidding to unlock and when it unlocks and goes to the homescreen it goes black and freezes for a few seconds and it barley started today.
    Any advice on what to do

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.  Has any of this been tried?

  • My Ipad2 is hardly working anymore after IOS8 upgrade

    I cannot hardly use my Ipad2/32GB/3G after the IOS8 upgrade. It takes for ever now to do anything on it.
    IF you cannot find any new features at all that gives anything extra then do not upgrade !

    The most aggravating problem I've had with iOS 8 on my iPad 3 (New) and my iPhone 4S has to do with powering on and off. I called Apple tech support to help solve the problem but since it was the first day iOS 8 rolled out they hadn't had my particular problem. In short my tablet (and phone) will either turn itself off and won't turn back on immediately or, as what happened while I was on the phone with tech support, I tried powering down my tablet and then tried to turn it back on but all that would happen, continuously for about 20-30 minutes!, was the Apple would appear as if it was starting up then it would shut itself off again then the Apple would come back then turn off, and over and over and over again. I had it plugged into my pc to run a diagnostic but it kept doing what I just described then, out of the blue, the tablet turned on without fanfare. Unfortunately it seemed the only fix was...the factory reset. I HATE resetting because it's such a hassle putting all of my apps back where they're supposed to be. For whatever reason my iPhone didn't give me as much problem but if either device freezes up and I try to turn either off then back on it takes close to 30 minutes at times for them to turn back on. The other problem I'm seeing is both iOS devices are getting incredibly hot, iPad moreso but the iPhone can get incredibly hot as well. 

  • IBooks crashes after ios8 upgrade

    i completed the ios8 upgrade and now IBooks crashes every 5 minutes. How do I fix it or report it?

    I'm having the same problem on my iPad Air. iBooks worked fine on iOS 7, but started crashing about 3-5 minutes after launching from the moment I  installed iOS8. The crash seems to happens while iBooks is syncing with iCloud and putting my iPad in flight mode prevents it from happening. Disabling the syncing of bookmarks, notes and collections does not prevent the app from crashing. I've tried restoring my iPad using different backups(including one I made just before the upgrade to iOS 8), but the crashes keep happening.
    As this only happens on my iPad and not on my iPhone 5, where I have automatic downloads disabled, I tried disabling automatic downloads. This seemed to prevent a crash only once, but once I tried to download a book manually, the crashes started happening again. I also noticed that any book downloaded after installing iOS 8 doesn't seem to be recognised as a purchased book. If I try to delete it, I only get the "Delete" option for books(which usually only appears for books that weren't purchased from the iBooks store), while I still get both the "Delete From All Devices" and the "Delete This Copy" options for any books downloaded from the store before installing iOS 8. On my iPhone, I still get both these options for any books downloaded after installing iOS 8.
    The only thing I found is that there is a JetsamEvent log in the diagnostics & usage data screen at the exact time of each iBooks crash. Each of these listed iBooks as being the largest process. 
    I hope Apple provide a fix soon, it's a bit disappointing to have to read iBooks on my iPhone instead of the larger screen of my iPad.

  • IPad is extremely slow and hangs since IOS8 upgrade

    Since the IOS8 upgrade my iPad2 is extremely slow, the touch sensitivity seems diminished (along with the keyboard being slower also), many apps no longer work. Can't risk trying to backup to IOS7.x because i am afraid the original IOS7 backup may be gone. I told my wife and daughter DO NOT UPGRADE, so they are still working fine.  Apple Support, where are you?  Maybe all is well for the new phones but you have forgotten other users.
    i believe my loyalty to Apple (since 1984) is fading as I am now slowly recovering all my data so I can move away from Apple.

    Try a reset by holding the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears.
    FWIW my iPad 2 is running just fine under iOS 8.
    By the way, you cannot retreat to iOS 7 - that is not supported.
