Ipad 3 choppy performance

I purchased an ipad 3 and have previously owned an iPad 2.  I know the hardware improvements is to only handle the better display.
But what I am noticing is that the performance of the iPad 3 is noticably more choppy than my old iPad 2.  www.yahoo.com for example is choppy when scrolling the main headline page.  And in other areas like web browsing and the app store, and sometimes even just scrolling the through the icons.  It is like it lags when it's loading graphics into memory and then once it's cached then it runs more smoothly.
I will have to take a trip to Best Buy to see if this is normal, but I wanted to ask here as well.  I'm just curious if this is normal.

I too have this issue. I had an iPad 2, then got the new iPad. I called support shortly after I bought it and the tech I spoke with said I had my thumb too close to the edge and that's what made it choppy. Do they think we are stupid? It happens on any site that is connected to the Internet and please don't tell me I have a poor signal- I don't and it happens any place I'm at. Here's what happens: I open up Safari, Facebook, twitter, chrome, email,iTunes, etc. I scroll down the page. The page is jerky/choppy as I scroll down then it jumps back up to the top. I try to scroll down again, it jumps back up. This happens until finally it seems to be loaded. Then it works ok until I change apps. I sadly upgraded to iOS 6 but it was choppy before I upgraded. When I first started researching this issue, I found others who mentioned this issue. Several people responded that their iPads scrolled perfectly and that they would notice if it wasn't smooth.
The choppiness reminds me of my crossover to the droid. I had had an iPhone and never paid attention to the scrolling until I got the Droid. It was choppy like my iPad 3. Returned to the iPhone and all was well until the iPad 3. After writing this I have decided I am going to call apple support again and be more insistent that this is not normal.
Good luck, altered82000.

  • Do you find that connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

    Do you find connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

    I have an Adesso case with bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 2. No affect on performance. Keybord easier to use compared to on-screen keyboard. Plus it has more keys compared to on-screen keyboard.

    No, the magnet used there is too weak to affect the hardware of your tablet.

  • Lots of stuttering and choppy performance using GNOME3

    ASUS P5K Premium
    Core2Quad Q6600 2.40GHz
    ATI Radeon HD3870 using Xorg 1.12.4 and Legacy Catalyst 13.1
    Creative SB X-Fi XtremeMusic
    Basically, the system stutters everywhere: Although CS:Source has great performance (i'd say close to 60fps) it's plagued with micro stutters every 20 seconds or so (as is every other game) and sometimes the performance gets really choppy for no reason. If I drag a window around, just to test, it will eventually stutter, window animations sometimes stutter too, smooth scrolling in web browsers isn't smooth at all (very choppy), flash videos stutter all the time as well! I've taken a look at the system monitor and the process that usually uses CPU the most is gnome-shell which can go as high as 80% but it's mostly at 40%. I installed XFCE just to check and everything's perfectly fine there. Could anyone help me out with this please?

    PT? Portugal?
    I'm from Portugal.
    It's well known that some ATI graphic option can gravelly mess up its performance (micro stutters, choppy performance).
    You can try to enable/disable some options. Better to read this, if you haven't already!

  • IPad Video Performance

    What's  the deal with video playback?  An flv will work if you package it with  the included files on the phone but the performance is terrible!  I can  handle the fact that alpha values don't translate but not being able to  play video ruins this for me.
    Video was fine when the  resolution was 320x240 for the iPhone but on the iPad trying to do  anything larger it doesn't work well.
    Even a video  at 700kps LOCAL playback will falter at about 20 frames per second if  I'm lucky.  I know you can't use H264 video inside your app but is there  any suggestion in which I can get a video running decently on the  iPad.  All attempts to open a local H264 file by opening a new url have  failed.
    Am I doing something wrong?  I hope someone  can help me out here.
    Sorry for the repeat post but I think this needs to be under a new discussion.

    Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Not currently. However, this can vary according to carrier, local WiFi network, time of day, location/shielding, etc. Best thing to do is check your current connection speed. I use the free "Speed Test" app. Basically, if your download connection speed drops below the average total playback video rate for whatever you are streaming, you may problems. I.e., the greater the difference, the greater the problem ranging from choppy playback to a total stops to cache additional data to possibly being timed out by some servers. (Just re-checked/clocked mine at just under 14 Mbps.)

  • How does the original iPad mini perform on iOS 8?

    I have been thinking about getting a new iPad from the iPad 2. I know the original iPad mini and the iPad 2 have similar specs, but the real upgrade I get from it is the wireless technology and the ability to use Handoff. Overall, how does the original iPad mini handle iOS 8? Should I go with that iPad or get the iPad mini 2? I wouldn't get the iPad mini 3 because I don't think Touch ID is necessary for what I want to do on an iPad.
    Overall, I am wondering how iOS 8 performs on the original iPad mini so it can help me choose between the original or the iPad mini 2. Thanks in advance for your input!

    Get the mini 2 when the prices come down. The mini 2 is baically a smaller iPad Air. The improvements over the mini are well worth the money.

  • IPad Air performance: sometimes sluggish and jittery

    Since the week I got my iPad Air, I noticed it was fast but not smooth. I have not used a 3rd or 4th generation iPad, so I don't know how much more improved the Air is to those previous generations; however, considering all the effort Apple seems to put into their software and promoting their new high-end 64-bit processor, I am not entirely impressed with the performance of my iPad Air at times.
    I consider myself a slightly above average user-- doing a bit more than just surfing the web, checking emails, and using a couple apps. Though, it seems even the simplest of things don't run very smoothly, like scrolling in a book in the iBooks app or a simple web page in Safari tends to be slightly jittery and jumpy. Even scrolling through the newly updated Apple Store app, it is jittery and jumpy while scrolling even if the pictures have completely loaded.
    I have tried closing all the apps that are open, but the performance does not change. There was a noticeable difference after closing all apps and restarting the iPad. Though, that shouldn't be necessary...
    What could this be? Hardware issue? Or a performance issue related to software, and could be later fixed or improved?

    iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
    http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • IPad slow performance on iOS 7

    I've notice on my iPad 3 that dictation sometimes doesn't work at all, and downloading Youtube video's is slow. Using iOS 6 these fuctions were fine.

    I called Apple Support (800-275-2273) and they also recommended a reset: "Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears".
    It came to a screen with a USB cable and arrow to iTunes logo.  I had to connect to my PC and lanuch iTunes.  iTunes recognized the iPad in restore mode.  My only option per Apple Support was to restore to factory defaults.  It appears all data is lost.
    The Apple Support person would not admit that this is a known issue with iOS 7.1 even though you can go online and see that may people have slow performance after upgrading to iOS 7.1.

  • IPad not performing to standard

    My iPad keeps glitching up and to performing to a good enough standard. Everyday since I have owned it something has gone wrong and it's need a different thing each day weather that be simply loosing connection to the Internet for a few seconds or the whole device having a mind of it's own, sliding through all the home screened and becoming totally unresponsive. I have tried restoring it and the only thing I can think of doing with a device that has so many problems is taking it back and getting a replacement product. What can I do about all of these issues?

    I think some of your issues will probably be solved just by getting used to the iPad. It can be very responsive so if you touch the wrong place on the screen inadvertently it may flick through home screen pages. As for the wifi issue, well even my net book can lose connection once in a while for a few seconds... Personally I've had no problems with my iPad, only one minor glitch with an app that I installed. If you still think there might be something wrong with it, it might be worthwhile taking it to an apple store and get them to check it over?

  • IPhone 4 has serious jerky choppy performance since uploading IOS 5.  Scrolling through photos jerks; Roadmate voice commands are broken in a staccato fashion; Screen game play is very jerky  - Everything is choppy!!

    I have read many messages regarding choppy and jerky performance going back to 4.3.1  Has anyone else noticed this with the recent IOS 5 upgrade?  Any recommended solutions??
    Thanks,
    Mike

    No genius here either...
    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restarting your device
    1)   Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    2)   Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Follow these steps to reset your device
    Note: Reset your device only if it is no longer responding and the steps above do not work.
      Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Firefox slow, laggy, choppy performance on powerful PC. Other browsers working fine. Help?

    i7 930 @ 3.8GHz, 6GB RAM@1600MHz, Intel SSD and Nvidia 660 Ti 2GB.
    That's my PC. It starts up in seconds, it's 100% stable, can run any video/audio production software with ease, and play any game at high/max settings.
    But somehow, Firefox doesn't seem to care.
    It keeps freezing up, lagging, and driving me crazy in the process. I've tried everything: reinstalling, resetting FF, removing addons, reinstalling addons, doing clean installs.... nothing. I've tried chrome. Works fine. IE even works better than FF.
    All this started in the last year or two. Slowly. I've felt each version getting slower and slower, and now it's just ridiculous. I open like 10 tabs and FF grinds to a halt, it takes 5-10 seconds for it to un-freeze sometimes. And facebook timeline scrolling?! forget about it. the more you scroll, the worse the freezing gets, to the point where I'm forced to restart FF and start all over again!
    I've been with FF since v1, I've watched it grow into the best browser of all, but I've also watched chrome rightfully take that title away in the last few years, because of what FF has turned into.
    I'd much rather stick with FF, but the frustration is getting out of hand. I can't take the slow and buggy performance, and I can't seem to find a solution.
    So is there a way to make firefox work as it should on a fast PC, or do I have to switch to chrome to get the performance back?
    (Win7 x64 SP1, ADSL 20 MBit)

    As I have seen That you have installed so much extension which is the main reason behind the slowness. Since they need some memory each time you start working with firefox.
    However do try to disable those extensions which are not used regularly ,when you need to used them just enable from addons section.
    Also try with [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode] and check whether the problem still persist or not.
    Read This Thread : [http://mzl.la/1BAQIeY Many CPU Processes]
    These are some steps will help you to fix issues like slowness:
    If monitoring tools shows High ram used by firefox then it might be due to Hardware acceleration enabled . Uncheck them from '''Options'''>'''Advance''' >under '''General''' tab.
    Sometimes plugins becomes the cause,so Check whether all plugins are up to dated or not from '''Addons''' >'''Plugins''' tab.
    See this thread for other reasons : http://mzl.la/14CBA3o

  • IMovie 09 as a slideshow - choppy performance

    Just started using iMovie 09 for my first project which is approx. 24 mins in length, it is a slideshow with stills and music and transitions added. Whenever I play the in the timeline window, it gets really choppy, the music pops, and frames appear as black or the wrong slide entirely. I was under the impression that 8 second stills took up far less memory than video footage.
    I read in the posts that it was recommended to keep iMovie down as a short 20 min film, I thought I had that covered. If say, I want to try breaking down the project into smaller sections to see if that helps, can I just go into the events window, select the project and simply duplicate it (like in the Finder). That way I can just go into the copies and delete whole sections for convenience.
    Thanks,
    Carl

    I did, with no effect. I currently have 2 GB of Ram in my G5 Tower

  • How do I get my ipad to perform a backup to my computer?

    If it is an airprint enabled printer, then use airprint.

    Otherwise you would have to find an app that provides this feature.

  • Choppy performance when fan kicks in

    Now that it's summer and getting warmer in my studio, I notice that the FCP playback gets choppy and generally gets weird as my G-5's fan kicks in. Does this make sense? It is making me a bit anxious. Despite my efforts to cool things off it reaches about 80 in our workspace in the heat of the day.

    There is a nifty application called Temperature Monitor you may want to look into. It reads all the temp sensors in your machine and you can keep an eye on the trends. It is a great monitoring tool when you want to experiment with alternative cooling strategies.
    In the FWIW category, I've found a simple smalll fan blowing air around my 17" Powerbook will keep the temps 10 degrees F cooler (or more) on hot days. Often enough to keep the fans from kicking in and from getting so hot I end up sweating all over the keyboard.
    Also, do a search for CHUD in the developer forum. It is another nifty app that allows you to set your processors to sleep when not in use. It has a big effect on heat generation. It was a life saver with some of the 'aircraft jet fan noise ' problems with earlier tower models.
    Good luck.
