IPad (3rd gen)  ios 6.0.1 update - yes or no?

hi all,
is it worth updating the 3rd gen iPad or iPad Mini or iPhone 4 to ios 6.0.1? I'm concerned about battery life and wifi issues, sharing/apple tv errors.... that i did not even update to ios 6. So is ios 6.0.1 a yes or no for you? and what problems have you encountered? (Please state which device you have updated). Your answers will help many like me who are....
Undecided whether to update or not.....

She has no idea on what to do as she isnt a developer (I'm not going to disclose her exact position).
I've tried to reset the content and settings and it restores it to factory default but it unfortunately still gives me the error. I'm going to try and install a beta version of ios 8 (thats still signed by apple) and see if that may work.
I'm debating on bring it into the apple store or not as that may be my only option.

  • HT201270 I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down.

    Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • Safari issues, iPad 3rd gen iOS 5,1,1

    Right, I bought an iPad 3rd gen and I've been having to reset it 2-3 times daily because of this issue.
    When generally surfing the web, doesnt matter what sites it seems, safari just decides.
    I'm not going to load the link you just clicked on :P
    The site address changes, a small portion of the progress bar turns blue and nothing. It just freezes.
    Nothing I've tried (clearing all caches etc) makes any difference, except a reset. Quite annoying.
    I had no such issues on my iPad 2.
    This issue doesnt appear to be limited to safari though. I've had problems with lovefilm and my speed test app as well so I'm guessing its a general wifi problem.
    After safari froze I decided to check the speed of my connection. It didn't come back with a ping, I waited 10 mins still nothing.
    At the same time my iPhone (4s) with the same app came back with a ping of  30ms and d/l speed of 15MB/s.
    I'm now confused as to whether this is a software or hardware issue.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • IPad 3rd Gen iOS 7.1.1 - screen randomly locking and more!

    Okay, since just this morning, my iPad has been randomly locking. It worked fine last night. Also the home button stops working half the time and occasionally my iPad kind of freezes then captures the screen when I try pressing the lock button. And occasionally after it hasn't locked itself in a while, it will come up with the shutting down screen..
    None of my apps have updated for weeks, I haven't edited any settings and I haven't downloaded any new apps. I've tried turning it off and back on, rebooting and resetting all settings (I haven't tried wiping all data because it hasn't been updated since December..)
    Please help! Is it my lock button playing up? Maybe a software bug that took a while to surface? Or did one of my games update without me knowing and cause all this?

    Yes, you can do that.

  • IPad 3rd gen will not update apps

    App Store on iPad 3rd gen shows several apps needing updating.  Updating requests P/W for Apple ID and then states that it cannot connect to the iTunes Store.  I am connected to the store.  I can also download new apps.  Any idea on how to fix the problem.  Thanks!

    We owned all the apps and used them on an iphone 4s.  They were added to the new iPad.  About 8 apps showed updates, and the "can't connect" warning showed.  The same Apple ID applies to all the apps on both devices.

  • IPad 3rd gen crash and power off issue

    I have ipad 3rd gen iOS 7.1.  In the past few hours when using internet(safari or chrome), Netflix, and games some weird things happen.
    1.  Screen goes black for a few second then returns to lock screen. And/or
    2.  'Slide to power off' appears at top of screen along with an X to cancel at bottom of screen and/or
    3.  Continually get pop up to login to itunes.
    All of these things have occurred independently of one another and sometimes they all occur within a matter of seconds.
    I have tried:  rebooting, logging in to itunes when it think I am not logged in, uninstalling and reinstalling apps, resetting itunes password, and now reading forums.
    Suggestions? Feedback? Solutions?  Anything would be a great help right now.  Thanks!

    You rebooted - by which you mean powered off, then powered on?
    Then try a reset:
    Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    Let go promptly when it appears.
    Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
    No information or settings will be lost.

  • IPad (3rd gen) loses cellular connection (ATT) every 20 - 25 seconds

    My iPad (3rd gen, iOS 8.2) works fine on WiFi, but its cellular connection cycles between "searching"  and a strong signal (5 dots) every 20 to 25 seconds.  It's been doing it for a week now, at several different locations.  I've restarted the iPad, removed and reinserted the SIM chip, and reset network settings.  None of those helped.  Any ideas on what I should do next?

    Good day delfm,
    If you are having an issue with your iPad not staying connected to your cellular data, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.

  • Ipad 3rd gen shows blank screen when connecting to projector via HDMI AV adapter.  I have an ipad 2 that works perfectly.  Projector is a Dukane ImagePro 8106HA.  Only difference I see is that the ipad 3 owner has not updated to IOS 6. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for your help,

    Hello sassy
    All I can suggest is to continue to try (from time to time).  I updated mine, but I did it late last night when the traffic was much lighter.

    Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

  • Can't update firmware on iPad 3rd Gen (GSM) 6.0.1

    I received an iPad 3rd gen (gsm) for my birthday from my sister in law, who works at Apple (this will come into play). The firmware is 6.0.1 and I am unable to update to the latest firmware. I have tried using iTunes and OTA and i get the generic error "Not eligible for this build." (device is not jailbroken)
    I have used four different cables and three different computers (the ota issue kind of makes this a redundant check but I tried just to be safe)
    I have deleted and redownloaded the firmware via Apple/iTunes and even finding the update and trying to manually update or restore via the ispw file.
    I have also tried the hosts file method (adding a # before the apple line and also deleting the line completely and every other combination of adding lines and such).
    I am able to restore on the device itself and that does not change my outcome when I try to update. What I think might be the issue (that I found out today) is that the iPad used to have a "Development" sticker on it. When I try to enter in the serial number into the support page it says the serial number does not exist. I have no idea where to go from here.
    Any suggestions? (unfortunately I live an hour and half from an apple store and I'd like to try and fix it myself first)
