IPad one nearly 3 years old has got very slow - ideas?

My iPad will be three years old in June. In the last few weeks it has got very slow - sometimes apps take ages to respond and have to be touched several times - the same with scrolling and in fact any touch control. Even then it is slow to load things.
It is a 64 gb which is only just over half full so I don't think it is because there isn't much memory.
Any ideas?

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.
Memory overloads can cause slow down and reboot clears those.

  • 3 year old iMac  running very slow, freezing all the time. Advice?

    My three year old iMac - 2.4Ghz processor, 2GB RAM, running Lion - is becoming almost totally useless. For many months it has been very slow, with multiple freezes, and then "force quits" on iPhoto and other applications.
    First, I tried to free up some space - i now have about 44GB free. Then I ran disk utility etc, Then I ugraded to Lion.
    But still I'm getting the same problems. Any suggestions?

    It sounds like your problems are more serious than a 'hardware upgrade' issue. My late 2008 MacBook 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM runs applications (and iPhoto) fine. In addition I have run OS X operating systems with little more than 5GB free hard drive space with no issue (being able to run advanced applications like Photoshop).
    My advice- if you have simply upgraded to Lion keeping all your systems settings and files intact then you may want to perform a 'clean install', you'll backup your important data/files in order to transfer them back again into Lion. You could even create a Time Machine Backup and use this to move only your data and applications back into your clean install of OS X Lion.

  • System has got very slow

    just a couple of months since i installed the os x mt lion
    the apps crash by themselves,saying an unexpected error caused it
    why is this happening
    AND
    FINDER used to be fast enough but now it has become **** a lot sluggish
    and this irritates when it takes a long time to open the folders...
    Kindly help me,
    I am ditching myself,"why did i upgrade to mt lion "
    Most frequent unexpected crashes occur in:
    safari
    mail
    message
    and many more.....

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Take these steps when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • HT1423 My iMac has got very slow

  • I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorising my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

    I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorizing my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

    Likely, because you are now using a different Apple ID and iTunes account. Return to using your old Apple ID and authorize only after you have de-authorized your old computer.
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • TS1292 £15 itunes card (Fastcard) nearly 2 years old number has scratched off so I can't read it.

    I have a £15 itunes card (Fastcard) nearly 2 years old, I have not redeemed it yet, but the number has scratched off so I can't read it. The other numbers on the card are different to the ones on the help page for illegible codes, how do I redeem it?

    Hello Swara,
    You'll need to contact iTunes Store Support for help. You'll need to provide the serial number from the back of your iTunes Gift Card.
    Starts with:
    Length
    GCA
    16 digits
    60
    16 or 19 digits
    EPY
    14 digits
    PBH
    22 digits
    I hope this helps.

  • My current laptop is about 3 years old. Got a virus and had to wipe it clean. Now my IPod touch 2nd generation won't recognize this computer as the one it was originally assigned to.  what do I need to do to safeguard my tunes on the Ipod touch.

    My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus.  Had to wipe it clean.  Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer.  What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch.  Any suggestions?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Don't take the low cost IPAD scam.. they are nearly 4 years old!

    When I upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 6 three weeks ago, I was offered a low cost mini ipad.  I took the deal only to find out later that the ipad you are given is an ipad 1, approx 4 years old now.  The mini ipad 3 is now available.  I heard something about 30 days return, but when I tried to return it today, was told...no its only 14 day return and I am 9 days over the limit.  They willl not take back this obsolete piece of equipment.  They would, with a $170 cancellation fee, plus a $70 return fee, or I could cancel my entire service for only $700.00 plus fee!  ATT is providing mini ipad 3s at a discount, but I decided that since I had used Verizon since pre Alltel days, I would stay with them.  I will be gone in 2 years.  Will post to my facebook tomorrow!  Scam alert!

  • I am locked out of my ipad.  My 1 year old somehow set an "enter passcode" .  I am not an itunes user and did not sync my ipad to an account.  I can not afford to lose the photos and videos on my ipad.What can I do?

    Are there any options to recover your enter passcode with out losing all info on ipad.  My 1 year old somehow set an "enter passcode" which is different than the "restrictions passcode" .  I am not an apple user, do not have  an ipone or itunes account.  There for my ipad is not synced with any other device.  Is my only option to lose all my pictures and video?  There must be another solution in this high tech world.  I can't handle losing the 1st day of kindergarten pictures and video and my toddlers 1st steps.  Is there any help?  This why I am a very frustrated 1st time apple user.

    I'm sorry, but without a backup, there is nothing that you can do to keep the photos and your data. You have to restore the iPad now and you will lose everything on the device.
    You don't need to use iTunes in order to backup. You can use iCloud for backups and I would suggest that you make a practice of performing backups on a regular bases after you unlock your iPad.
    Read the very last part of the support article about if you have never synced with iTunes.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...
    If you are not using iCloud and do not have Find My iPad enabled, you are really in a bit of a bind unless you know someone that has a computer running iTunes that you can use to restore your iPad. Any computer will do, since you are going to have to erase everything on the device anyway.
