IPad screen response diminished with iOS 7.04
Ever since the iOS 7 update was added, the response time to the touch screen has diminished. Sometimes, the screen seems to freeze for a second before there is a response. Sometimes, I actually check to see if my network is connected.
Deleting emails is the same. Touch the trash can and it used to go immediately. Now, there are times that I hit it a few times to delete the email.
This is very frustrating to the point that I am considering switching to another tablet.
iOS 7 was not ready and apple released it anyway.
Is anyone experiencing this? Does anyone have a solution?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
Cheers, Tom

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

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.

My IPad screen is frozen with a message stating that the IPad has not been backed up to the ICloud for 7 weeks, this is not correct. I cannot get the messageto clear and cannot access any of the other icons; is there an emergency reboot process?
Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost. -
Turning off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes
Quick question: How do I turn off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes. Is this even possible? Are there settings I am overlooking? Or perhaps a third-party app which can make it happen?
I have a large library and often leave my iPad connected to iTunes for several hours at a stretch. The bright glowing screen can be a big distraction, and, more importantly I am very worried about pixel burn-in.
Cheers,The iPad LED Backlit IPS Screen is not phosphor-based, so there is no permanent phosphor burn-in problem. You might see some image persistence, but that is not permanent and can be corrected. See this support article about image persistence: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807
Since you have already converted your music to 128 kbps, you are unlikely to see any more 10+ hour syncs unless you have to do a restore. In that event, you could select the brightness control in settings to the lowest level.
FYI, there are some apps, such as Night stand HD that are designed to be used for long periods with unvarying displays and I have yet to see image persistence problems reported. However, since the iPad is still a new product, there may be some reports in the future. -

My ipad screen is frozen, with the icloud backup message (this ipad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks ect)
Holding both worked for me as well. The problem occurred immediately after going back to the Apple store. Just purchased the ipad2 and the next day the view account button on data settings disappeared. They had to upload latest update and that resored it. The next day icloud froze the screen. Hopefully this fixes it.

My iPad was never updated with iOS 5, now I no longer have a pc.
I was lazy and went a year without updating, my ipad was doing everything i needed it to with pre ios 5 version, my pc has since fried and my iPad is in much need of an update. Wha do I do to move forward?
In order to update the iOS you will have to use a computer. The highest version of iOS that the original iPad will update to is iOS 5.1.1. If you have an iPad 2 you will update to iOS 7. Any more recent iPad will already have had iOS 5 or later.

IPad 1 activation issue with iOS 5.1 update - any fixes?
Tried to update my iPad 1 over WiFi to iOS 5.1 this morning. I get a message:
"iPad could not be activated because activation servier is termporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple minutes"
No luck - I've tried all day. When connecting direclty to may iMac, I get an iTunes message stating that it cannot recognize the contents of the iPad and suggests a full factory restore (which I want to avoid unless no other option is available). iTunes does recognize that the iPad has OS 5.1 installed, however. I've tried a few tricks I've seen posted (such as changing the DNS #), but nothing works to "activate" it. I don't ever recall needing to "activate" an iPad with the previous updates - only after initial purchase.
If anyone has the same problem, and has found a fix, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.Thanks - I hadn't tried that earlier (had only tried the red slider shutdown). The problem, however, still persists (states activation server is termporarily unavailable).
After two days of not being able to use the iPad, I"m about to break down and try restoring to factory conditions...... I hope that works. -
after upgrading to IOS 8 my iPad 2 has multiple problems, among them: slow running. frequent crashes. freezing, and more. Is there any fix for this?
I regained control of my iPad 2 last night after having endured weeks of extreme slowness with iOS 8!!! Unfortunately it involves restoring it from scratch. I personally restored it from the DFU mode (see link) but am not sure if the DFU mode is absolutely necessary. I ended up restoring when the iPad 2 finally got stuck with the Apple logo while restarting. So I think the extreme slowness is just a symptom of more serious corruption of the device that will eventually cause it to fail restarting. I personally had a 5 day old backup in iTunes so the device was restored to an almost identical state. But if you have an up to date backup there shouldn't be any noticeable differences in content after the restore. The entire process does take a long time, but it is well worth it seeing that my iPad 2 is almost as fast as the day I got it!!!
So in summary:
- connect iPad to iTunes and make a full backup
- restart iPad in DFU mode
- iTunes will tell you that it detected an iPad which needs a full restore to factory settings and update
- iTunes will download iOS 8.1 (as of this date), then will restart your iPad and proceed with the wipe and reinstall
- after iOS/firmware reinstallation, iTunes will restart the iPad again and will tell you to leave it connected so it can restore from the backup
- the iPad will successfully restart at which point you can swipe to unlock; it will tell you that it was restored and offers you to set a locking passcode again
- at the same tim iTunes will give a list of backups to restore from - select your last iPad backup
- after a while depending on the amount of stuff that you had the restore will complete and you will be happy again!! -
Will I be able to make my iPad 1 pc free with iOS 5
I use Wi Fi and iTunes on my husbands computer right now. I am thinking it's only going to be possible for new iPad 2s because Apple has said "pc free out of the box". Anyone have any info on this? Thanks!
It will apply to all iPad's once iOS 5 is installed on them : http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#pcfree . It says 'out of the box' as they will start to ship with iOS 5 pre-installed, but for existing iPad's you will need to connect to your computer's iTunes and update to iOS 5 before it then becomes 'pc free'

The ipad screen has went white and has a gray line running through the middle of it. It worked one minute and not the next. It has not been jail broken.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost. -
Anyone experiencing diminished battery life and delayed response times with iOS 5 on iPad 1?
Since installing iOS 5 on my iTouch and iPad, the battery life of both devices has been terrible! Before I could get 1-1/2 or more days use, now I'm down to hours without using the device. . .and I've turned off all of the locations services except, find my phone. Next, I'm going to try turning off the auto time zone setting.
I've also noticed diminished response on my iPad when opening Settings, Notes, etc. --like 10+ second delay before anything happens. I'm really considering restoring my devices back to the older OS.Downgrading the iOS is not supported. My iPad is a bit slower that it used to be, but I havn't noticed any change in battery life.
In terms of response times you could try closing all your apps completely and then do a reset and if that improves things. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
For battery life have you done a charge cycle since you updated :
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down). -
Ipad unresponsive since updating with IOS 8
Since I updated my iPad with the latest software last week, I have had several problems:
1. It doesn't always connect automatically to my broadband network at home
2. My Message icon shows 1 message bu when I try to access messages, the page is blank and I have difficulty getting rid of the screen. It won't allow me to use my fingers to close the app. I have to keep clicking the button (at the bottom of the screen) and eventually it closes down.
3. My Safari is very slow and when I do a search on SafarI I am not always able to click through on the links. I have to try several options down the page before I can get it to work
4. Facebook is very slow
Generally nothing runs smoothly. I really wish I had left thinags as they were and not updated my iPad as I am getting increasingly frustrated. Even whilst typing this post, the words don't always appear immediately on the screen. I've noticed a number of complaints about the IOS 8 update but a lot are related to the iPhone. I have a notification of a software update available on my iPad to help fix bugs, but this relates to iPhones!!! Please, please could you let me know what I can do to improve things. I have the iPad model which preceded the iPad Air and have a memory of 64 gb.You should not.
Having said that, backup is a good thing just in case the unforeseen happens.
