IPad 2 iOS7 slow

I have an iPad 2, which worked great under the previous operating system, but is frustratingly slow under iOS7. If I could roll back to 6.1, I surely would. Anyone else have the same problem? Are there any fixes for this?

Try reseting all settings man, Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings.
Remember, do never downgrade !
Regards.

Why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

The iPad 2 is not as powerful as more modern iPads.
Backround updates (iCloud, App Downloads and updates - it can take a while after iPad was updated for these to stop.) , will slow things alot. The screen effects can be turned off, speed up things.
Here are two links with tips on speeding things up

HT5622 Since I have updated my iPad ios7,I am having problems activating my FaceTime

I have recently updated my iPad ios7,but having problems activating FaceTime.

No one should have to reset network settings, I have the same issue and I have a celluar package, it's slow using either one--but my IMac is running just fine so don't blame the network--blame the testers and my Internet speed is grease lightning so that's not it either--too many issues, like Facebook randomly disappearing while open, choppy animation, slow to load programs.
It's too **** bad they made it so you cannot roll back to IOS6 until these bugs are worked out--shoulda waited. Shoulda, coulda, woulda..not helping me now AND my friend bought his mini the same time I did in April and we are not even in the same city and he has the same exact problems!!

IPads extremely slow after ios8 upgrade

Hello,
I own an iPad 2 and an iPad3 retina. Both were working fine until I upgraded them to ios8.
Since then, both ipads have slowed down to a crawl. Surfing the web is *much* slower, the ipad seems to hang when you simply load a webpage. Also, the keyboard has become so slow that it lags behind the typing. I will be typing a sentence, and when I stop typing, the ipad could still have 10 characters in the keyboard buffer.
So up until last week, I had a couple of ipads that were a little bit older, but still working at an acceptable speed. Today, I have two ipads that are frustratingly slow to operate.
So the obvious thing to do would have been to downgrade back to ios7. But unfortunately, this doesn't work either. I get a message that ios7 is not compatible with my device.
So can somebody offer a solution, either a trick to downgrade to ios7, or another method to get my ipads back to their former performance.
BTW: same problem on my iphone 5, much slower as well, but here the speed is still acceptable.

iPad 2 and iOS 8.0.2 Problems
For all iPad 2 owners, this is an important solution for you! These problems result from long-term use, continuous upgrades, corrupted files and various glitches that happen over this long term use. You just need to get your iPad 2 back to FACTORY FRESH CONDITION to start out clean!
Here's one person's solution which will help a lot of iPad 2 users!

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

Why can't Chapters created in GarageBand podcasts be viewed as large screens in iTunes and iPads using iMac OS 10.8.5 and iPad iOS7?

I created podcasts using GarageBand and added artwork as chapters to the audio naration. In the old iTunes they would show up as seperate large screenswhich could be easily read by other on a large monitor. While they can be seen as tiny pictures when you click on Chapters in the menu bar at the top, they are not large enough for students or audience members to see.
I also create these to go on my iPad. Withe the old version of iTunes, they could fill up the screen on the iPad. in iOS7 they are small, do not change with the audio as they are supposed to, and you only can see the next screen if you touch the < in the top left, go back to the previous screen and then touch "Now Playing". Since they do not automatically go to the next chapter artwork screen as the audio is playing, you would have to just know when to make the change.
This now defeats the whole purpose of the ability to add artwork or any visual guide that would go along with the podcast that was created in GarageBand and sent to iTunes.
Even when you make the podcast into a movie, which does show the artwork as the audio is playing, you still can't control it by having the chapters available as they used to be in the seperate window. This used to be in the control of the three lines on the bottom right side of the screen which now are the list of the next podcasts. In fact, on my iMac screen, the window is also very small. You can't make it larger like you could in the earlier version of iTunes.
It is such a disappointment to me that this has changed.
I can still use my old iPod to do the podcast the way I have described above, and fortunately I can show those using AppleTV on a large monitor, but if I wanted to send the podcast to students to place on the iPad, they would no longer have the full value of what GarageBand creates.
Is there any other program that could be used on the iPad that would not only have the artwork chapters in sync with the audio, but would have a way to quickly go from one chapter to another should a student wish to skip parts of a podcast and only review certain portions?
If nothing is available now, is there anyway to get a message to the iTunes people to get this back into the iOS7 devices? I wish someone could let them know what a loss it is to those of us who have used these applications for this kind of teaching or studying.
Please create another iPad app that would work with GarageBand for this kind of podcast!!!
I use an iMac OS 10.8.5 and an iPad iOS7.
Thanks

I'm going to reply to my own message. After spending some time trying to solve this problem, I found an application called Chapter Maker in the App Store. It is reasonably priced and once you have turned your podcast sent to iTunes into a movie by opening it in QuickTime, you can either just show it through QuickTime on your desktop or laptop computer, or if you want it to work in iTunes the way it used to work, you can send it from QuickTime to iMove (go to file/Export to... iMovie) where you can then export it as a movie to your desktop and open in Chapter Maker where you can add the chapter headings back in to the podcast and Export it. You can then add it back into the movie folder in iTunes where you can see the visuals in full screen and navigate through the chapters quickly.
I also tried this out by connecting my iPad to my computer and moving the movie into my iPad. While it doesn't have the chapters visible to navigate quickly to a chapter heading, you can touch the play screen and drag it to the places you need to review. Not as nice as the old iOS version, but it also does show the visual screen using the full screen of the iPad.
As I mentioned earlier, on my older iPod, I am able to view the visuals in full screen and by touching the list at the top right, it turns over to navigate through chapters with clearly labeled headings.
I use this to study topics for myself and also to pass on information to students.
I do wish they had kept the old version the way it was, but guess that's the way things go.
Check out the application in the App Store called Chapter Maker if you are looking for the same solution to this problem. Even if you aren't, it's an easy way to add sections to any video.

Why QuickTime on iPad is slow? How to fix it?

Why QuickTime on iPad is slow? How to fix it?

What version of iOS is the iPad on ? If it's on iOS 7.0.3 (5.1.1 if it's a first gen iPad) then it's up-to-date - if it isn't then your friend can update directly on the iPad (if it's on iOS 5+) or via their computer's iTunes (copy any purchases off it first, File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and take a backup) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If the soft-reset hasn't fixed it, then has your friend tried restoring to their last backup and/or back to factory defaults (which will remove all content from it) and then resyncing their content ?

No, the UDID interface is not present in iOS 7. Use iTunes.

Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?

Do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the ipad to boot back up.
If that doesn't help - settings - general - reset - reset network settings - no data loss, however you will need to reenter known wifi passwords.

Why is my iPad so slow using verizon 3g verses wifi

why is my iPad so slow using verizon 3g verses wifi?

My older sister has an iPhone 4S with Verizon, and my iPhone 4S is with AT&T.
At Xmas this past year, I used the same speed test app on her iPhone and on mine to check each carrier's download and upload speed. This was in Dallas where both carriers have good coverage. My download and upload speeds with AT&T blew her iPhone's download/upload speeds with Verizon out of the water. Wasn't even close.

Why the transmition to the tv from my iPad is slow cutting off ... Is there a way to improve connectivity ?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Power PC G4 running OS 10.5.8 no longer sync with iPad iOS7, what's up?

Power PC G4 running OS 10.5.8 no longer sync with iPad iOS7, what's up?

Leopard (OS X 10.5) came out in October, 2007. iOS 7 came out in October, 2013.
You need an absolute minimum of OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to run iTunes 11 which can sync devices using iOS 7.
In the U.S., you could purchase Snow Leopard here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
... then update it to OS X 10.6.8.
UPDATE -- Sorry! I don't think you have an Intel processor Mac, and therefore cannot run Snow Leopard. You need a new computer to sync using iOS 7.

IPad 1 slow after upgrade

See if this helps at all. Quit all apps completely first.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
Now do this. Reboot 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.

Does the iPad get slower with time?

i have an iPad 4 for over a year. Does the iPad get slower with the passage of time or because of small amount of available?

As with any piece of electronics, the more stuff you get on there, the more clutter and the more 'junk' (not meaning offensively, just junk as extra files, fragmented files, etc) that it has to run through.
If you think it's getting too slow, you can fully back it up, then reset your iPad back to factory settings (erase all content and settings) and then restore from that backup.
It's not impossible, just something to do carefully because if you haven't backed everything up correctly, you will lose it. (content and apps from iTunes can always be redownloaded but content made on your iPad can be deleted if not backed up)
I've had my iPad 2 for almost three years now and really haven't noticed a major decline in function. So unless you see something drastic, I really wouldn't worry about it.
