IPad is extremely slow almost nonfunctioning online.

iPad is extremely slow and Internet access could almost be considered non-functioning. I have tried double clicking and closing apps, I have plenty of memory, and use a cellular package don't rely on wifi. I have also turned it off and tried shutting it down with no improvement. Any ideas?

My Ipad is extremely slow loading pages

My Ipad is extremely slow loading pages. It doesn't matter where I am, so I don' t think it is related to the wi-fi service.

HT3964 My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. sometimes it never gets past the background. Cannot log back in.

My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
Please help!

There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

After downloading the update ios6 my iPad is extremely slow how can this be fixed, After downloading the update iso6 my iPad is extremely slow how can this be fixed

After downloading the update for my iPad 3rd gen my iPad is extremely slow. How can this be fixed???

You may have to restore your iPad using Recovery mode, but try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the logo. This takes about 10-15 seconds.
IF the update will not complete or you see the connect to iTunes message on the screen, you have to restore your iPad.

IPad is extremely slow and hangs since IOS8 upgrade

Since the IOS8 upgrade my iPad2 is extremely slow, the touch sensitivity seems diminished (along with the keyboard being slower also), many apps no longer work. Can't risk trying to backup to IOS7.x because i am afraid the original IOS7 backup may be gone. I told my wife and daughter DO NOT UPGRADE, so they are still working fine. Apple Support, where are you? Maybe all is well for the new phones but you have forgotten other users.
i believe my loyalty to Apple (since 1984) is fading as I am now slowly recovering all my data so I can move away from Apple.

Try a reset by holding the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears.
FWIW my iPad 2 is running just fine under iOS 8.
By the way, you cannot retreat to iOS 7 - that is not supported.

IPad browsing extremely slow

Hi,
Over the past few months internet browsing on my iPad has become unbearably slow. I have cleared cookies and cache, rebooted the iPad (holding down sleep and Home keys until the Apple appears), and even installed another browser (Grazing) to see if it was just a Safari thing. It is not. I have an iPad 1, and have primarily used it to do internet browsing and book reading.
This did not happen when I installed the 5.1.1 OS. However, it was not until after I did install 5.1 that the response time started degrading. Now, I really don't want to even try to browse, because it has become so bad.
Also, this is not a bandwidth speed thing because the response time on my Mac laptop and on my iPhone are absolutely within an acceptable range.
Does anyone have any ideas about why this may be happening, or have any suggestions about how I might be able to speed things up?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Cheers,
GB

Thanks Diavonex,
I'm off to get a new MacBook Air on Monday, so before going through the pain of restoring, I will see how my browsing habits may change with my new device. My iPad is MOST wonderful for all of the other things I use it for - mail, book reading, doing art with Brushes, finding out what bird that is sitting on my deck....locating places in the world when they are referenced in a book I'm reading.
So, if I just end up doing all of my browsing via my new Mac.....won't be the worst thing that ever happened.....
(as you can tell, I'm avoiding the whole "restore" saga like the plague.....) But, in the end, if I have to, then I will!
Thanks for the idea - at least it is something that may help!!!
Cheers,
GB

Networking is extremely slow: almost useless. Why? What can I do?

I have an iMac, bought earlier this year. It is driving me crazy.
It has 2.9GHz Intel Core i5 processor and runs OS X 10.8.5
I have been having endless problems with networking. I want to access files and folders stored on a network hard drive but it is extrememly slow to connect. I sometimes get the message 'Resolving alias to...: which I don't understand. Even if I don't, it can easily take up to a minute to open a folder.
I have also waht I suspect is a related problem. I have Office 2011 for Mac, and use Excel and Word. These crash continually, and the Mac often takes a long time even to open a locally stored file, carry out a simple edit etc.
I have completely upgraded my small (ethernet) network and router.
I have taken the iMac back to the supplier and they have reset it to factory settings, then reloaded my software item by item.
I cannot seem to get any resolution online or eslewhere.
Can anyone here help, because I am increasingly finding I have to use my Windows 7 laptop (which works fine) just to get any work done. This isn't what I expected when I got a Mac.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Safari on my Ipad is extremely slow

Safari takes forever to load & often will not load at all, yet when I change to the Dolphin browser on the Ipad, it loads. What is up with Safari?

I have tried that over and over to no avail. I keep getting the message that safari cannot load because it cannot find internet connection yet Dolphin browser on my Ipad finds the connection no problem. I have tried clearing the history & the cache. I have tried closing all open apps. I have tried deleting apps. I have tried signing in on my wifi as guest. None of this works.

Why apps cannot be downloaded because of EXTREME SLOW DOWNLOAD SPEEDS?

I have iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3
Starting from last months until today, I have a big trouble with my iPad about EXTREMELY SLOW APP DOWNLOAD SPEED, in both downloading new apps and updating the currents apps from store.
Only one app can take 1-2 hours to be downloaded. Some times even half day needed. Or sometimes process can finish with fail and says "could not be downloaded at this time"
IT IS PAINFUL !
I checked & did the following below, but I couldn't solve this issue. Please HELP !
- My WIFI internet speed of home network is Great, no problem about that
- I've already used a "Speed Test app" from iPad and it is great, no problem in the speed also
- I've checked the space and more than 30 GB is empty in the device
- I've completely disabled Genius Apps feature
- I tried many times hard reset by long pressing power and home buttons together
Nothing can be solution the the problem. What can be wrong about downloading apps?

Anyone experiencing extremely slow downloads from Apple?

For the past 48hrs or so I've been unable to stream or download HD Video from iTunes store or iCloud on any of my devices, Apple TV's or Computers.
Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other HD Streaming services unaffected. Internet up and running 45Mbps connection, working great. only thing affected is content from Apple, specifically content purchased and on iCloud. iCloud account fine, Apple ID account fine. Can access Apple.com, iTunes Store, Apple Store, Communities, and content, however, streaming, downloads extremely slow, almost unresponsive....
Is anyone aware of any slowdown issues, servers down, or other issues affecting access to content?
You know because Apple is always so forthcoming on these issues!
So far Ive found no mention of any issues in any of the communities....
Thank You.

Apparently Adobe is having server problems. Other users have reported problems today.

Calendar extremely slow on 9300i

The access to the calendar in my 9300i is extremely slow, almost useless. Any idea on how to speed up it???

How much data have you got on the phone?
You could either try reducing the quantity of data you have if you have loads, or you could try backing up your phone, formatting it and then restoring the backup to see if that helps get it back to its usual self...
To format the communicator, remove and then replace the battery. Then when you see the word Nokia in blue on the inside screen, hold down the ctrl, shift and F keys simultaneously. After the word Nokia disappears and before the Nokia handshake logo appears, you should be given the option to completely format the device .
ALL DATA on the phone memory will be completely erased and the original settings restored so make sure you have any important data backed up.
If you didn't get the option to format the device before the Nokia handshake logo appears, repeat the same process again and hopefully you will receive the option before this logo appears.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
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.

Wifi on ipad 2 is extreme slow

Hi,
I have 4G network available and i am using AT&T Mobile Hotspot as a wireless router, Everything is perfect such as my laptop, Android phone, but when it comes to IPAD, it is extremely slow. Even to open google it takes about 1-2 minutes, i cant download any application.
Last week i click update all applications (26 applications) i couldnt able to download even a single one and now i cant use old versions of these applications as well, because if i click it says waiting.. I dont know, this is the first time i am stuck with ios.
Please help.

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
