IPad mini is wrecked by iOS 8

I have an iPad mini and it worked flawlessly until it was updated to iOS 8. After that it has become so slow, to a point that it is unusable.
I tried erasing all contacts and settings - it did not help. Even an empty iPad mini is no so slow, that I am afraid I will just throw it against the wall.
Apart from that - device works fine (good battery, e.t.c.).
I tried downgrading to iOS7 - figured that Apple is not allowing to do it - WHY???!
Has anyone had any luck in solving this issue?

I Have the same problem. It started with using Safari, so I posted a question and then advised to do a cold reboot(home button +  power button), it helped fix some other bugs, but not the reboot. I also reset all settings in system Settings. It fixed some more bugs, but reboots still happen on YouTube app now. I think this may be a modem driver problem, because it only happened to me when I was communicating with the Internet.
BY the way, the keyboard after iOS 8 update ***** too. It gets stuck on Cap and double-letters occasionally.

    Dear Apple Support,
    Good day to you.
    This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..
    After the update my Ipad restart and after that it appears a picture that need to connect to itunes and need  to restore. So i connect it to itunes and wait to restore my ipad mini because it is not opening.
    After restoring it my ipad is now opening and it is like new that i need to set up again.
    I set up again until i reach the apple id and password.
    I put my below apple ID and password to unlock my ipad but it didn't work. The message i receive is "the apple ID cannot be used to unlock this Ipad.
    What will I do? Please help.
    Thank you

    Dear Leslie J.,
    Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
    If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

  • Will ipad mini be supported in ios 7

    Will the ipad mini be supported in ios 7?

    None of us know. ANd since speculation is against the rules, your guess is as good as ours.
    We'll all find out in the next year or so when iOS7 comes out

  • If I erase my iPad mini will it erase ios 7 to ios 6? I'm tired of ios 7, it freezes a lot!

    Sorry Kimberly, it will not. Apple does not provide a downgrade path for the iOS for a variety of reasons.
    If you have any particular questions or issues you would like to discuss, please post those.

    My ipad mini just updated to IOS 7 and the scales of my wall paper changed.  How do I correct them?

    I am having the same issue with the sound echo on my iPhone 4S. It seems OK when I talk on the phone, but all the alert sounds do it. It did not happen with the first update to ios 7, just after I updated last night to ios 7.0.2. If anyone figures out a solution, I would love to know. The echo is irritating. Thanks!

  • IPAD MINI RETINA SCREEN VERSION IOS 7.1.2 can't success download apps , need to reboot every times only can download apps. Is iOS problem or hardware issue.? Local agent switch sale and tech support can't fix my problem.

    I Purchase iPad mini retina screen on July 7 2014 at Malaysia local apple sale agent switch store somehow now my iPad did restore to latest iOS 7.1.2, before that and after also facing 1new issue is my iPad mini cant success download apps and error message show can't download at this time, either retry or click done. My internet is good condition no line down, I reboot my iPad only can download but sometime can't need to reboot twice only can download. Very sad local sale and tech support can't help to solve my problem...

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • LCD burn on iPad mini 16gb updated from iOS 6.0 to iOS 7.1.1

    My 16gb iPad Mini "iOS 6.0.3" updated to 7.1.1 observed LCD discoloration in three corners and I don't know what causes the problem. I just can remember once or twice overly charged for a couple or three (3) hours three weekds ago. All of the sudden the display discolored and corrupted. I have turned it off a couple of minutes twice and resulted the same (burned LCD portion) and looks corrupted screen. As I turned it off a couple of hours, the screen looks OK by then and it operates well but the map looks like burn in the screens is well defined.Does this screens follows to LCD burn? It can be replaced?By how much?Thank you

    try doing a full system restore
    Hold down the home button and power button at the same time. This forces the screen to fade and the Apple Logo to reappear. Don't let go of the buttons until the iPad shuts off.
    Once the iPad is off plug the usb cable into the computer.
    Open iTunes
    While holding down the Home button plug the cable into the iPad.
    Contunue holding the home button until the you the itunes logo and the picture of the cable on the iPad screen. This may take up to 30seconds.
    iTunes should now detect the iPad and you can perform a restore. Just follow the on screen instructions and it should restore.
    Hopefully you have a recent back up.
    If you have apple care on it, just take it down to another store and they will give you a brand new one

  • 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.

  • I have ipad mini 2 updated to ios 7.1.2.  Now ipad keeps shutting down and rebooting to the apple logo. I factory reset and redownloaded software in recovery mode.  Still happening.  What else can I do?

    I have ipad mini 32gb.  I updated to IOS 7.1.2. Since then ipad keeps shutting down and rebooting to the apple logo.  It happens so many times I cannot use the ipad.   I have tried factory reset and reinstalled software in recovery mode. Ipad is only 1 1/2 years old and in great condition.  Is there anything else I can do besides soend $200 to fix it?

    Sounds like a hardware issue to me going by the CRC error you mentioned. I'd make a Genius Bar reservation (you'll need your Apple ID) if you have a nearby Apple Store and get it evaluated. The evaluation is free but repair/replacement could incur other charges.

  • Impossibile attivare wifi su ipad mini dopo aggiornamento a ios 7

    Impossibile attivare wifi su ipad mini dopo aggiornamento ios 7

    Marzia, come ti capisco, ho il tuo stesso problema, ho comprato il 4s oltre 2 anni fa, pagato circa 700 euro, e ora per un difetto tenuto incubato fino a quest'ultimo aggiornamento che per me è stato solo un PEGGIORAMENTO, devo pagare???
    sinceramente questa apple mi ha deluso tantissimo......trallaltro, come immagino anche Te, ho perso un sacco di tempo cercondo notizie e info sul web facendo procedure con assistenza apple in linea e online......ho perso non solo ore.... GIORNI, ti giuro se avessi lavorato (come normalmente faccio da libero professionista molto impegnato) tutte quelle ore mi sarei comprato un 5S, invece no sai cosa mi propongono queste minchie dell'assistenza di chiedere la sostituzione pagando oltre 200 euro.......pensa se poi anche quello fosse difettoso o comparisse un altro difetto come quello della WIFI,  e loro continuassero a lavarsene le mani, e io avrei speso 900 euro ....in 2 anni
    MA DOVE VIVONO??????? CHE DELUSIONE
    Sai cosa Ti dico..... appena mi rompo le palle di metterlo in freezer lo demolisco e cambiero produttore ormai ci sono prodotti equivalenti.
    Che si mettano nostri panni questi grandi pensatori che decidono come bisogna rispodore ai clienti!!!
    Non è modo di comportarsi con i clienti!!!!!!
    Cosi li perdono i clienti e non solo me perche non gli faro una bella pubblicità!!!!!!

  • I lost my past entries on ipad mini after upgrading to ios 7?

    Can someone help, please? Before the upgrade my ical events (7 different calendars) synched fine across MacBook Pro, Iphone and Ipad Mini via Icloud. The events are still on Iclous, is Macbook and Iphone 5 but Ipad only synched back about 2 weeks! This is a real problem, if I need to double check about a past appointment with a client, refer to our last meeting or so on... I've checked All iCloud on my Ipad but nothing seems to get back the old data.
