Ipad mini 2 fix problems with ios 8

While I am NOT a techies, my guess is that ios 8 featurea simply overwhelms older devices. I have tried the following steps with SUCCESS to fix the numerous problems that ios 8 causes for ipad mini 2, inc. normal speed and smoothness of operation AND normal wifi operation (speed ok, signal strength ok, connectivity constant):
1. Switch to chrome..Safari is utterly unworkable now
2. In settings icon > general turn off background app refres
3. In settings, scroll through all functions and turn off what's not necessary for ur needs, e.g. bluetooth, handoff
Hope this helps

Oops...one more step:
4. Power down ur ipad--hold main and side frame buttons downs simultaneously till ***** off. Need to wait several minutes before powering up.

When will Apple stores have iPad Minis in stock equipped with ios 7?

Now that ios 7 has been introduced, new devices will be in stores with the upgrade already installed. I would like to buy a new Mini with the upgrade already in place.
Anyone know when that will be?

No one knows.
You will have to wait for Apple's announcement.

IPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant. Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.

IPad Mini Won't Sync With Mac Mini (ios 8.1 OSX 10.6.8)

Problem : IPad Mini connects to iTunes OK, can be seen in iTunes and I can select which movies to sync to it etc. When I hit the "apply" button after making a change (ie deleting or adding a movie) the sync lasts just a second then the "sync" button remains greyed out, and I can't make them sync.

You're supposed to download the latest iTunes from Apple official site and install it on your Mac.

Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??

Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??
Message is working weird.
I don't have internet service when I'm away from my WiFi, because my phone won't use LTE now.
Should I wait for a IOS 8.3.1 update or reset my phone to factory and start over?
If there's a fix coming when will we see it?
(I'm using iPhone6 plus)
I've tried everything else to fix the problems I'm having. Soft restart. Hard restart. Used your chat line. Called Verizon. Reset network settings.... Help!!!!!
I've posted on the Apple Communities about all this and I've sent in a couple of bug reports.
I live up in the mountains and MUST be able to access my Verizon LTE for information if there is a fire! I'm in California!

I have a Verizon iPhone 6 and am having none of those problems.

Didn't they already have you do that? If you haven't, yes, you should restore your phone as new and test.

If you are in a situation where you may need emergency information, organizations such as the Red Cross recommend things like this:

It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
There are two major problems with the music app.
1. Lyrics no longer displayed
2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.

Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

Problems with iOS 7 on new iPad

I just got the new ios7 and now my iPad is not working, it freezes up and it Will not turn off or anything

Resetting has NOT solved the problem, sorry.
My iPad is running ios 7 and freezes when trying to download videos from itunes. Did NOT have this problem with iOS 6. Have rebooted several times... Even rebooted w/ red bar...iPad boots back up, then I try download again, it freezes and I have to reboot again.
Is there a list of apps that have comparability problems with ios7?
I know apple must be working on the problem, but if anyone has a even a temporary workaround, that would be great.
Thanks

My new ipad Mini will not sync with my contacts from my Mac?

I fixed my own problem - so excited... On the iPad go to settings then mail, contacts, calendars opened icloud and turned on icloud on for contacts. Re-synced iPad with Mac and *hey presto* all my contacts are there.

Problems with iOS 5 in Kuwait

Problems with iOS 5 in Kuwait. ID calling issue with names not being recognised. I just downgraded to 4.3.5. Waiting for a fix from apple

After installing ios 5 here is my Concerns (Kuwait):
1- The major problem is that caller id problem doesnt recognize the +965 prefix as you all stated , i found that on all carriers in kuwait ... the only temp solution is to duplicate all the contact numbers one time with (+965) to determine the Messages , other time without +965 to determine local calls -- NOTE--- using prefix 00965 will not solve the problem because both messages and calls will not recognizing it
2- Some issues appeared in iCloud specialy in contacts section that if you disable icloud and keep your contacts on the iphone and then re-enable icloud and choose merge will cause all the contacts to be duplicated which is very annoying
3- Kuwait is not found when trying to associate my apple id to a region to apply for any of the new apple services like i messages , home sharing for music and videos or any location based service
4- strange numbering format appears in my contacts in some other countries , this cannot be controlled , dashes '-' between numbers dont know why
5- noticed some slow performance and partial hangs in answering calls or closing line .. this happened 2 times and stayed not longer than 3 seconds each .
anyway ios 5 looks promising but need to fix those slight issues ASAP

G4 mini has a problem with its volume structure

My G4 mini has a problem with its volume structure according to Tech Tools Deluxe. One that the application can't seem to repair. Ran it 3 times and it always hangs before it completes the fix. Never hangs in exactly the same place in the repair routine, but always hangs.
Ran these tests because for the longest time the mini would accelerate (panic) and shut down. Installation on a new system hangs before it completes the install of all the upgrades. Any help would be appreciated.

I realize it was not clear from the original post whether or not DiskUtility had been tried yet to fix the hard drive.
To use DiskUtility to repair the drive, you have to boot from the original install disc that shipped with your Mini.
1) Insert the Install disc and the shutdown the Mini.
2) Restart the Mini and hold down the C key as soon as the startup chime or beep is heard. Hold it down until you see the "gear" spinning on the screen.
3) Select your language, but don't proceed any farther with installation. Use the Utilities menu at the top of the screen to run DiskUtility.
4) In DiskUtility, click once on the hard drive in the left panel, then click on the Repair Disk button in the right panel.
