Ipad mini difunctional after ios8 updates

I have nothing but trouble with my iPad mini 1 since ALL IOS8 updates! Numerous problems. Constant crashes and reloads. Typing disfunctional, lag time is great and sometimes doesn't work at all. Wifi slow or doesn't work at all! I have tried all the fixes suggested by employees and non Apple folks. Been to the Genius bar, Apple Support Communities, other Apple blogs. Nothing works!! I cannot afford a new iPad. Thanks Apple!

SSorry about your bad luck. A lot of that seems to be going around of late. I always get a chuckle when folks refer to the store clerks as " Genius". At least the one you saw was honest about the situation and didn't try to give you a $75 credit on a new ipad if you turned in you mini with "defective hardware". I've been an on and off apple user since the late 70's. I must say, this latest blunder and the way that Apple is handling it just blows my mind. They have gone in a matter of two years from first rate to third rate at best. I sincerely hope for yourself and all the others that have been effected that apple grabs the bull by the horns and puts an end to this nonsense.

Hello there, Archietech.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iOS Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X:

Restart your iOS device.
Restart your Mac.
Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Try another USB cable.

Ipad not restoring after IOS8 update

I attempted to update to ios 8 on my ipad air.
However my ipad was too full, so i deleted some apps/data and reattempted.
When I did the screen gave a message to connect to itunes. When I did it downloaded the software but I then had to restore the ipad.
When I attempted to restore, the ipad will not recognise my apple ID - Incorrect Apple ID "n*******@*********.uk" cannot beused to unlock this ipad.
However I know this is the ID/ password for this Ipad as I have a couple of ipod touchs on the same account that I use for school in tandem with the ipad.
When i try a different account or incorrect password I get a different message "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" so it appears I am using the right ID, but the ipad cannot use it.
Regards
Nicola

My iPad mini is no longer updating since last iOS update

My iPad mini is no longer updating through iTunes since the last iOS update.

Thanks Texas Mac Man. My iPad is running 7.0.6 and it was after that update my iPad was no longer syncing through iTunes on my laptop. My iPhone, also on 7.0.6, has no issues. Earlier this morning I tried again, hooking my iPad up to iTunes and left them alone for a couple of hours and it never progressed past "syncing notes."

My Amazon Prime Instant Video App does not show airplay symbol after IOS8 update

Am I wrong or is there something I need to adjust on my devices?

Airplay is found by swiping up and enabling via control centre

Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s

Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s
I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4s after the IOS 8 update. The IOS 8 update took a very long time to complete, maybe 12 hours, and afterwards, it worked but updating packages were very slow. Package updates have since been problematic and about 4 days ago, it stopped being able to update any packages. I click on them to update and they never make any progress. I have 2.8 Gbytes free and I keep deleting more and more packages, pictures, etc. It seems like, from the amount of stuff that I have deleted, I should have more than 2.8 Gbytes free.
Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

16GB iPhone4: Go to Settings, scroll down to iTunes & App Stores and touch. At the top of the next page it shows: Apple ID. Touch this. Select Sign Out. Your Apple ID will go away. Re-enter Apple ID and password. Try App Store again.
Other solutions were to go to Settings:General:Date&Time and turn off auto-update, then change date to next year. This didn't work for me, nor a lot of other users on the forums. It took reading a lot of threads to find the log-out, log-in solution. Even on the official Apple Website all I saw was: Make sure your connection is working, battery is charged, desktop is plugged in when you try to sync. OK I exaggerate, but with all the users posting this problem, you'd think they'd post their solutions when they work with a Tech Help call.

Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. Only getting sound, can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. I'm only getting sound no video can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been randomely shutting down in the middle of a screen.

I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been shutting down in the middle of almost any app and the screen goes black and then the apple logo appears as if I've done a hard reset. I've tried both soft and hard resets but with no results. Sometimes thes happens several times in a row. Does anyone have any ideas? I did read discussions and close running apps to make sure there is enough memory. In the past this sort of happened (rarely) and it just left an app and went to the home screen, but this is a total shutdown.

I think you have covered most of everything that you could possibly do at this point other than restoring the iPad iOS software. That's what I would try now. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask a genius to evaluate the problem for you.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

I have an iPad Mini which after being on charge has now frozen with the iCloud Backup box in the middle of the screen which in spite of pushing OK many times will not go away or unlock the screen or iPad

I have an iPad Mini which after charging has now frozen with the iCloud Backup text box in the middle of the screen and OK 'button' registers when tapped but remain locked with nothing operating. It is fully charged.

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Had to restore iPad2 from itunes after IOS8 update with no option to restore from icloud backup.

since i lost everything on my ipad due to the IOS8 update, i thought i'd try to do a manual restore from my icloud backup, but the only backup listed is one from the day i did the update/restore. i'm pretty sure it's not going to help me recover everything that i lost since it's only 1.8gb. i know my ipad backed up to the cloud every couple of weeks when i charged it, so shouldn't there be other backup dates available? also, when i go to settings>icloud>manage storage>ipad, the backup options list every app i had on my ipad before the update/restore, but those apps are no longer on my ipad, so i'm not sure why they're listed in the backup options. apparently i can't even contact apple to help with this issue without paying $20, and i live 2 hours away from the closest apple store. any thoughts?

My philosophy is if you lost everything already anyway, you have nothing to lose by restoring the iCloud backup at this point. Besides, your apps will download from iCloud, if you were truly backing up with iCloud and not using iTunes. Apps are not part of the backup, app data is.
I would give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you are no worse off than you are now. But - your apps should still all download from the cloud even if the data is gone.

Are you trying to restore via itunes or icloud? Which ever one you're doing, try the other.
Its most important to make sure itunes is updated, any security software is disabled, and to try another usb port/cord (if using itunes on a computer)

I am using 2 unit provided AC charger to charge my iPad mini. After a while, I checked the device. The battery is no longer in charge mode. It is only 80% charged. When I touch the AC charger, it is hot. I need to switch off the AC charger to let it cool down before continue to charge my iPad mini again. Of course it will be 100% charge but must make sure the AC charger is cool down completely.
I feel that the provided AC charger that is not suitable for our charging on iPad mini.

I would book an appointment at an Apple Store, if you have one nearby, to have it looked at.
