IPad 2 very unresponsive after 8.3 update

Three weeks ago I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 8.3 having been running iOS 7.1.2 Now the lag in wireless is very frustrating and apps are slow to load and respond, sometimes hanging altogether. I have tried a soft reset, hard reset, reset my wireless router but all to no avail. Has anyone got a solution or ideas for me to try? I have read that it is too late to revert to iOS 7.1.2 but if there is a way ..?
I do not wish to buy a new iPad as this one was working with no problems before the upgrade. Many thanks.

Hi Have you tried a Factory Reset this will get rid of any bugs . Cheers Brian

Touch Screen unresponsive after iOS 8 update

My 1 year old 64GB iPhone 5 touch screen started to become unresponsive after iOS 8 update
It's not consistent. Touch screen functionality will seize whilst phone is being used for either answering calls, typing messges, surfing, gaming etc and won't become responsive until it is turned off and on again (via power button). Home button is functioning with no problems.
As the phone is now out of its warranty period I want to verify if it's the OS that's causing this or do I actually have a hardware issue.

I have the same issue. iPhone 5, 1 year-old, not even a scratch.
Sometimes my touch screen works, sometimes not. When it works, it is just for some seconds, then some phantom touches start to happen all over the screen, but specially, when i'm typing, it types z or m, when I try to type something in, and it receives it, it will act as z or m again....
If I switch off my screen and switch on again... sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont... veeery unstable.
I considered downgrading to 7.1.2 but since I heard it is ilegal I decided to wait for a new iOS release.... any suggestions? (already wiped it and the issue continued...)
Is it really not recommended to downgrade it and have my phone funcionalities back?

Hello mom_5_01,
The following article should be quite beneficial in your endeavor to update your iPad.
iPad: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097
You may encounter the following symptoms while updating or restoring your iPad:
iPad continually restarts but never displays the Home screen.
An update or restore did not complete and the iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes.
iPad stops responding, showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes.
If this occurs, you can place iPad into recovery mode and attempt to restore again. If iTunes displayed an alert with an error code, see this article before attempting the steps outlined here.
Cheers,
Allen

HT1766 ipad no longer functions after accepting an updated version of "Hayday"

ipad no longer functions after accepting an updated version of "Hayday"

Unfortunately it was a blinding flash of the obvious that fixed my issue...
Simply rebooting the iMac brought it back to life.
Duh.
I assumed that since Apple usually forces reboots after updates if they are required that this didn't require one, apparently it did.

My mind 2014 macbook pro keeps freezing and is very slow after the yosemite update

HI my macbook 2014 model keeps freezing and it is very slow after i had updated it to yosemite

Why don't you try these: ( might or might not help, but it's worth a try )
See what you have loading on your login items.
Open up activity momitor, under All Procesess, see what's using most of your CPU resources (%).
Hightlight the one using the highest % on the CPU then click on quit process and see if that works.
Once you're done with that, go to Disk Utility and do a verify disk. After that, do a verify disk permission and repair if needed.
See if that helps you.

IPad 3 very slow after updating to iOS 8

I Updated my iPad 3 to iOS 8 the day it was released and almost immediately after it finished updating I started having problems.
1) The Wifi connection is incredibly slow on every device I update.
2) The entire iPad 3 itself runs very slowly whether I am running apps or switching between (yes I have been shutting down programs when not using them as to conserve RAM but it still runs poorly)
I also did download 8.0.1 with no new issues but did also download and install 8.0.2
I just would like to know if there is anything I can do to get better performance back to my iPad.

No, this is definitely an iOS 8.3 bug, Allen. I have an iPad mini (original, 24/12 old) and an iPhone 5 (not S, 18/12 old). Updated both from 8.2 to 8.3. I keep them and the apps up to date and run a tight ship.
Since the update, the iPhone has been behaving normally.
However, starting immediately after the update, the iPad has been rebooting: when you plug it into the power and it goes to sleep, it reboots itself. This NEVER ONCE happened before the 8.3 update -- and I think I started with this iPad on iOS5 or at least 6, with all the updates inbetween. If you want to use it again shortly after plugging it in, you have to wait about five-ten minutes (as other have reported). So far, it has always rebooted successfully. But you do have to put in your passcode in response to "you have to enter your passcode upon rebooting" message; and tell it to trust your current computer connect once again.
It just now rebooted itself once again when plugged into the computer USB port, while in the middle of a sync (the screen went to sleep). Not happy about that; potential to damage data.
I confirm: this NEVER happened before 8.3, and it now reliably happens EVERY TIME I plug the iPad into power and it goes to sleep. I have three power sources (computer USB, individual Apple charger, aftermarket reserve battery charter) and it happens with all of them.
As far as I can tell, it only reboots itself once per charger-plugin, and doesn't do so again until you unplug it and plug it back in again (somewhat confident, but not 100% sure, of that).
Hope that helps. The bug needs squashing, and soon.

IPad mini initially unresponsive after turning on?

My iPad mini is consistently unresponsive after I first turn it on from shut down. It opens to the lock screen, but I can't type my password.
I found that pushing the power button 4 times (two cycles of turning off the screen, then again to turn on the screen) will solve the problem, but it's really frustrating each time I turn on my iPad. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am presently still running the last version of iOS 6. Would updating to iOS 7 fix this? I have concerns about significantly decreased battery life with the new OS. Any advice or comments would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kelly

Running iOS 7 has not significantly decreased my battery times from what I was getting in iOS 6, but there is no question that what I was getting in iOS 5 and comparing that to what I get now, there is about one hour's difference. I used to easily get 10 hours in iOS 5 and that gradually decreased with every update in iOS 6 and has continued to decrease a little bit in iOS 7, but I still get 8-1/2 - 9 hours out of a full charge.
As for the weird unresponsive screen issue, have you rebooted the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen?
Tried resetting all settings! Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do this you will have to enter all device settings again, but no data will be lost.

Internet connection slow/unresponsive after iOS 7 update

Using my iPad is very frustrating right now. The internet is either VERY slow (sometimes 5 min to load a simple page) or completely unresponsive (error loading page message). Then after a few minutes of this, it works fine for a short while... then back to being slow again. Most apps require the internet, so this thing is pretty useless when it is not working. PLEASE HELP.

For the both of you I would try a reset. Hold both buttons on screen and on the top for about 10 seconds, or until the device turns off and then the apple logo appears, then release. You can also try going to settings>general>reset>reset newtork settings. Might help clear some things up for you.
If that doesn't help just let me know and we can take some further actions to help.

IPAD 2 NO SIM AFTER IOS 6 UPDATE

IPAD 2 NO SIM AFTER IOS 6 UPDATE

Ditto here. Updated to IOS6 and now my SIM isn't being recognised. Did a factory reset, got a new sim but still not recognising it. Phoned apple - cant downgrade. Disappointing as my Ipad2 worked perfectly until the upgrade. Apple can you please sort this out? or is it some hardware in the Ipad2 that has made it incompatible?
If anyone finds a solution please let me know. I'm going to pop into the apple store and see what they have to say. I'm just outside my warranty but I've looked after the ipad2 really well and now it seems to have let me down.

IPad will not charge after IOS 7 update unless the brightness is dimmed,..Why?

I recently updated my 4th gen IPad 64Gb to ios7. Previous to the update I loved my iPad and it worked flawlessly. Since updating the iPad now will not charge unless I dim the brightness of the screen, and slowly when it does. Why? Is there a way to remedy this?

I do not know if it's iOS7 related or not. My 2 is still working. However, my first 2 was returned to best buy after the charging port on it died. So that can happen. ANd it happens with little to no warning. CHarges monday, doesn't on tuesday.
As far as I know the issues with 'unsigned' lightning devices is just the cable, not the power brick, but there's no official word (nor do I expect one)
Lightning cables have a little chip in them and if that chip isn't signed by Apple then your device kicks up an error but should still work.
However since this is an iPad 2, that's not the case since 2's use 30 pin chargers, not lightning.
Usually when a 2 doesn't charge, common troubleshooting is to swap out the charger, cable and outlet, to confirm or rule those out. Also to do the reset. (the soft reset that's holding down the sleep and home keys until it reboots). Also to look in and blow out the port in case there's some lint or such in there.
Usually those things fixes it. If not, then it could be the port.

IPad 2 constantly rebooting after ios 7 update

My IPad is hosed! After the IOS 7 update, it is constantly rebooting. I've tried to reset to factory settings to do a restore but it won't stay on long enough to get it done. Any one out there have any ideas/suggestions? (besides giving up)

Have you tried to reset iPad?
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

IPad 2 iBooks unresponsive after iOS 8.1.1 update

After updating to iOS 8.1.1 on my iPad 2 this morning, iBooks fails to launch properly. It seems to freeze with a blank screen (no Library), then the iPad goes back to my home screen. Double-pressing the Home button shows my iBooks Library window, but when I switch to it iBooks is completely unresponsive. I have shut down and restarted my iPad, but the same thing happens.
Any suggestions?

Owner of an iPad 2 here with iOS 8.1.1. It sounds like the iBooks app has been corrupted somehow, as it works fine on my tablet.
Did you upgrade from iOS 7 to iOS 8 on the iPad over the air? The reason I ask, and this applies to ANY operating system, is that garbage from an older version can be carried through into the newer version giving exactly the kind of problems you describe. I would recommend that for any new major release of an OS to scrub the device and set it up as a new machine. This is a short-term P.I.T.A. but it does help preempt these kinds of niggles.
In your case let's try the non-drastic approach first: if you can, uninstall the iBook app and then reinstall it via the App store. This usually fixes minor annoyances, but if the iPad persistently misbehaves, nuking it via iTunes might be your best bet. Backup your stuff before you do that, though.
