IPad 3 slow after upgrading to iOS 8.2 from 7.1

To get ready for the Watch and stay current with iCloud and my devises, I'm moving this weekend to the latest upgrades for my iPhone 5, wife's iPhone 5S, my iPad 3 with 64 gb (celebrating 3 years old on Monday!), my wife's iPad 4 and my MacBook Pro (from 10.8.5 to 10.10.2).
I noticed immediately on my iPad 3 that things were slower - and especially loading eMails in iOS Mail App.  Is my 3 year old processor not fast enough to handle everything in 8.2?  Other Apps seem OK but startup is weird - took 20 minutes and I really don't want to turn it off again as it may not start the next time!  (It wakes from sleep just fine).
Also now hesitating to move my wife's iPad 4 to iOS 8.2 -- but hers is a faster processor so should be OK?
Thanks for any feedback!
Best regards,

II have a similar problem.  After installing 8.2 on my iPad3 performance is much worse.  In Safari, some pages seem to take 2 or 3 times as long to load and I have gone from feeling my iPad is quick and responsive to feeling it is sluggish.  Also, I have a lot of raw photos in the photos app that were loaded via the camera connection kit when I was on IOS 7.  It used to be great browsing them - very snappy.  Now each image takes 7 to 10 seconds to render - unusable.  I had an Apple Genius check it out, and he ran diagnostics and found that a process that renders images was crashing, and advised that I do a clean restore via ITunes which I Did.  Web browsing seems a little better, but still slow.  The slow renedering of raw images in Photos is unchanged - still 7 to 10 seconds.  Called Apple support who ran diagnostics again and said all was O.K.   Only suggestion was to restore software again, but this time don't allow restore to restore any data to create a completely virgin installation.  Haven,t done this yet, but not very hopeful.  Very disappointed - should never have upgraded, and of course you can't go back.  Been using Apple stuff for 30 years, and I think the fact that Apple will not let you install a previous version is one of the things I like the least.  If anybody has any ideas, they would be appreciated.  I do plan to try loading a new raw file into Photos to see if loading raw files on IOS 8.2 gives a different result.

  • HT4085 i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7.  did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?

    i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7.  did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?

    When you reset to factory settings, did you restore as new or did you restore from a backup? If you restored from a backup, you could try restoring as new and don't use the backup. If you do that, you will lose all of your data, but you can download or sync all of your content back to the iPad.
    You could also try resetting all settings before your restore as new. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You will have to re enter all device settings again.
    And of course the possibility does exist that the iPad has developed a hardware problem that is causing the rotation issue and only a visit to an Apple Store could determine that for sure.

  • You Tube App Missing on iPad 2 After Upgrade to iOS 5

    I have an iPad 2 that I purchased from a US Apple store in May 2011.  After upgrading to iOS 5 the You Tube app is missing.  How can I reinstall it?

    That is one of the standard apps that is not deletable.  So it is probably there somewhere.
    Check setting, general, restrictions, and make sure you didnt turn that on by accident.
    Then goto the searchlight screen, and type in you tube, and if the app is on the pad, it will find it.
    If restrictions are not on, and if searchlight does not find the app, do a full reboot,
    If still no joy, do a restore from backup. 
    But check restrictions first.

  • Wifi problems on iPad 2 after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

    I upgraded my iPad to iOS 5.1.1 last night.   Ever since then, it keeps losing the wifi connection.  My laptop, ipod and iphone are not losing any connectivity with the wifi, nor has this been a problem with the iPad prior to upgrading the iOS.

  • Adobe Content Viewer Slow after Upgrade to ios 8

    Hi
    I am still in the development phase of my app. I have built it using InDesign.
    I have been updating and previewing the app in Adobe Content Viewer on my iPad 3. It was working fine. I upgraded my iPad to ios 8.1  three days back and since then there the app is very slow when i view it in ACV. The page transition is slow, the slideshow gallery grid does not respond even after multiple taps.
    Now my ipad is 3rd generation and I am realising i should not have upgraded it to ios 8. But it is very hard for me to tell now if the slowdown is because of -
    - ios 8 only
    - or because of incompatibility of ios 8 with older ipads (3rd generation)
    I tried downgrading my ios to 7.2 but apple does not alllow that anymore, so I am stuck with ios 8.
    Any inputs/feedback on this will be great.
    thanks in advance.
    -MP

    Thanks Peter, Bob , for your inputs.
    Bob - did you upgrade the ios to 8 on our ipad 3?
    Mine was working fine with all the preview apps on ACV till i upgraded to ios 8.
    Peter - Apple usually do not discount its products even on Black Friday. But I will see if I can squeeze in a new piece to continue with my project. I am also going to try downgrading ios on my ipad with some manual fix, I could not do it via itunes as apple is no more signing ios 7.
    Thanks for the inputs.

    After upgrading my iPad Air to iOS 8.0.2 I can no longer play videos in any application, not even in Apple's stock apps.
    Is anybody else experimenting this issue?

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Close all apps in the multi-task window

    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

  • IPhone  network connections slowed after upgrading to IOS 5.1!!

    My iPhone network connections (WiFi/4G) are extermely slow after performing the update to IOS 5.1! Speedtest.Net results over 4G = 0.15 Mpbs down and 0.05 Mpbs up ans that's will FULL bars! AT&T claims that there are no network issues in my area and they are not throttling my device. Even over WiFi it's taking FOREVER to download apps from the app store, etc... What is going on????

    My WiFi connection works fine, but 4G from ATT gives in 0.15 mpbs download. I called up ATT several times, but they have no resolution to this problem. Everytime they ask me to reset my network connection. This is a big deal for me as I am most of the time on Cellular Data and I need to use iPhone for my work. I am thinking to roll back to iOS 5.0.1. What in this world could turn a 3G phone into a 4G phone just by a software upgrade? I just feel like I am down to a 1G phone. Apple please fix this asap and release a patch, else I may not be able to use this phone.

  • Wifi speed on my iphone 5s is very slow after upgrading to ios 8

    Wifi speed decreased on my iphone after upgrading to ios8 .. other devices connected to the same network are working fine with a decent speed.

    Do a reset - google if you don't know how.
    settings - general - reset - reset network settings.
    still doesn't help then do this Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • Ipad  1 became extremely slow after upgrade to ios 5

    Killing programs do not really help.  This makes the ipad really useless. Anybody who has an idea how to solve?

    Yes. Do this:
    Hold the Power Button and Home Button simultaneously. Ignore the red slider, and allow it to power off on its own. When it reboots, input your code (if you have one). Your iPad should be refreshed and faster. Worked for me.
    Similarly, though you didn't ask, if you find your battery draining much faster than before the iOS 5 upgrade (MUCH faster, and without any activity), delete all your Email accounts, reboot, and re-add them. It solves the problem.
    (I have both iPad 1 & 2)

  • Issues With iPad mini after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2......

    WWish I'd checked the forums first, but I upgraded to 8.1.2. A few days ago and have had nothing but issues.
    FIrst -- it takes twice to three times as long to boot up my device.
               After the apple logo disappears, the screen is just black for the longest time
               Then eventually I hear a faint "DING" and the screen eventually gets lighter but this takes about 5-6 minutes
               Haven't had time to check the new manual.... Is this normal?
    second -- Lots of freeze ups doing any variety of functions
    third -- When tapping to diwnload a WORD attachment in an e-mail.... the circle graph loads properly but the document never opens when tapped.
               I'm not sure which is the most frustrating, plus there's no way to TURN OFF that dorm Emoji Keyboard which just gets in my way far too often!!
    any body have any work around for any of these???
    i No longer love my iPad...that's for sure.

    How do you know some stop halfway and others barely start? What are you seeing? While it is possible an app is not compatible with iOS 8.1.2, but I doubt it. If it was working with iOS 8, then it will work with 8.1.2. Try signing out of the App Store and sign back in again.

  • No service on IPad 2 after upgrade to IOS 8. Waited a month to try it. A restart brings connectivity back for a while. If the iPad 2 was too old to receive this upgrade it should have been excluded from it.

    Upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8. Waited a month as I saw all the problems other users were having. Now I am with them. No service. Connectivity restored only after a restart . These are necessary frequently. Last week I had a fully functioning iPad now I do not.
    If the IPad 2 was not capable of handling the upgrade it should have been excluded. I have read the fixes, tried some, apprehensive about trying others. Why should the customers have to work to fix an upgrade meant to improve performance?
    Any news on an IOS fix?
    Any solutions other than wiping out  everything and starting over? Have seen that several times. Backing up, wiping clean, refreshing, restoring...why do we have to struggle?
    i am spending way too much time trying to get my iPad back to what I had. I am sure the genius bar is packed with iphone 6 users and the new edition iPads. No room for folks with "old" ones. And if I try something and fail then I have nothing at all.
    Hoping for a "fix" from Apple as well as any ideas.

    Hello, ik31.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

  • IPhone6 extremely slow after upgrade to iOS 8.2

    I just upgrade my iPhone6 to iOS 8.2(apple watch). After the upgrade the phone is lagging and is extremely slow. Just writing a text is a problem waiting in-between inputs.
    Has anyone else had issues with speed and use their iPhone6 after the upgrade?

    I have not had a problem with speed. Sometimes a laggy iPhone can be the result of memory fragmentation in RAM (not in storage). It shouldn't happen, because iOS is generally very good about managing memory, but occasionally it needs to be helped. Try the following:
    Press HOME once, then double-press it to bring up the Quick Launch screen
    Kill each app you see by flicking its screen image up. Continue until all apps except the Home screen are closed
    Press HOME once, and wait about 2 minutes for all apps to finish shutting down
    Turn the phone off by holding the SLEEP button until Slide to power off appears, and do so
    Wait another minute for it to finish the shutdown
    Turn the phone back on by holding the SLEEP button until an Apple logo appears.
    Let us know if this helps.

  • YouTube Videos and others won't play on iPad mini after upgrade to iOS 7.0.2, any suggestions?

    I upgraded my iPad mini to the iOS 7.0.2 software and now videos (YouTube, USA Today, etc) won't play.  I have already done a restart (holding down the menu button and on button) and eern after restart, videos won't play.  Any suggestions?

    when u do a restore it deletes off everything on the device, including software. then it reinstalls the software from a new download package. this will ensure ur device isnt getting the same glitch in its system that ur current software has if that is the issue. when u restore from the backup u made AFTER uve done the 'restore ipad' that will put all of ur stuff back onto the ipad. i would suggest deleting off the youtube app b4 doing the back up and then readding it after the restore and restore from back up phases. if all of that doesnt work, youtube is the one with the problem and u should contact them.
