Is iOS 8 slowing down the wi fi on my iPad air?

Having lived through several OS updates I know that it takes a little while for apps to all be updated and for little glitches to be worked out.  However, I think iOS 8 has brought on some real issues with my iPad Air. 
The overall issue is a slow connection to the internet.  This happens at home and in several other locations where I have used the wi-fi since updating to iOS 8 a few weeks, ago.  My work PC works fine (well... at least, the internet does), but my daugter's iPad mini (also updated to iOS 8) will slow down when she is watching Netflix, occassionally.  The family also has an iMac, which is working fine. 
While using the Washtington Post (downloading the newspaper), Pinterest, Safari, You Tube, Mail and the App Store, the connection seems to slow down to a crawl making it impossible to continue what I am doing. 
I've shut down and restarted the iPad, and then it works fine for a while, only to slow down again sometime later.  Sometimes the problem will seem to fix itself, but then it slows down again.  Sometimes, it happens when it comes out of sleep mode, and sometimes not.   Since I use my iPad to work from home, it is really frustrating.  I can delay my gratification when it comes to games and such, but not when I am updating my blog or reading my email. 
I've Googled iOS 8 and wi fi and saw that there are a number of issues out there.  Some of the big tech magazines and websites are tracking some similiar issues.  I'm curious if anyone knows if this is all related to iOS 8 and if a future update will resolve it, or if there are ways I can test my hardware on my iPad to make sure it is working properly. 
Thanks!

    The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
    For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter.

    It does not. First things first have you tried restarting?
    Try restting PRAM

    Try booting up in Safe Mode

    Also open "activity monitor" and look and see what is using a lot of processing power.

    how can i fix my mac book pro i bought in mid 2010, it is slowing down. the pin wheel does spin a alot.

    try this;
    open disk utility - verify disk permissions - repair disk permissions if errors are found.  might take an hour or less - depending on how much errors needs to be repaired.
    restart your macbook and see if that sorts it out for you.
    also check your hard drive space.  if your hard drive is almost full, that will also contribute to your macbook getting slower....
    good luck

  • Is there a way to slow down the playback of video in Captivate 5?

    I just made several recordings (FMR) and would like to slow them down for the viewer.  The video was actually of someone else's software demo that moved way too fast.  On the Captivate skin there is "2x" to move the video twice as fast, but no "1/2x".  Is there another way to slow down the video?
    Thank you!

    I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?

    That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
    If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
    If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

  • How can I slow down the playback speed of selected parts of a captivate video?

    Hi everybody,
    I'm pretty new to Captivate and although it offers some great tools, there is something that I just can't get to work:
    I'm creating a video tutorial about how to use a website i'm working with so I've tried using "Automatic" ("Demo" mode chosen) recording option which is recommended for this type of video. However, the video recorded has a different playback speed than the amount of time I recorded. This means that some of the slides have a quicker playback speed than the way I recorded, thereby not leaving enough time to show the given feature.
    The recording mode with the most "true" playback was "Full motion". However, I would still like to be able to slow down selected parts of the video, but can only find guides on how to slow down the entire presentation.
    Can you please advise me on how to slow down only selected parts of the project? If this is not possible in Captivate, please advise me on which video editing software (where you can slow down the playback speed on selected parts of the video) is compatible with Captivate 5?
    Thanks!

    Thank you. Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot video, which I somehow managed to miss, was very helpful.
    I had a 79 second clip which I precomposed and enabled time remapping. But I have 12 places where I need to slow down the layer. After a while, I was runing out of room to add more keyframes using the method promoted in many videos and instruction sites (grab the last two keyframes, including the end frame, and drag).
    In reality, you can add keyframes wherever you like and you can adjust them however works best within the existing timeline without messing with the duration, etc.
    Much appreciated.

  • Messages are in to be delivered state and slows down the message processing

    Hello,
    Messages are in to be delivered state and slows down the message processing.
    this happenens in case of DB2 on some machine where the issue about high load on DB2  is caused by standard programming in SAP XI that executes a statement, where it uses the condition 'where 1<0' prio to the original  SQL statement configured in the channel configuration,
    Can you please help me out in solving this issue?

    Status: TO_BE_DELIVERED
    Which means that the message was successfully delivered from Integration Server point of view and it states that the messages is initially handed over to the Messaging System.
    TO_BE_DELIVERED occurs while the message is put into the Messaging System receive queue.
    Solution:
    This is done via the Messaging System receive servlet:
    http://<Host>:<PORT>/MessagingSystem/receive/<CONNECTION>
    /<PROTOCOL>
    Only if this was executed successfully the Messaging System returns HTTP 200 to the Integration Server and the Status TO_BE_DELIVERED moves to DELIVERING

  • Slowing down the music in Logic Express

    Is it possible to slow down music without bringing down the pitch, like amazing slow downer does?
    Thanks, Frans
    Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Slowing down the music on the same pitch is easy...when you know it. I found that when you check the box "follow tempo" the tempo of the song can be adjusted in the transport window. And then the music will be slowed down on the same pitch to the preferred speed. Very useful when you have to study on a Charlie Parker solo. Now I can make a start to actually understand what the man was really doing.

  • Norton anti-virus slows down the start up time in Windows Vista

    Hi,
    please help, i am being driven to distraction by the slow start up time of my laptop.
    I've only had it for a few weeks and don't use it for anything beyond producing word documents etc.
    It has gradually been getting slower on startup and i suspect it has something to do with the Norton anti-virus software on it and the updates for norton that i have downloaded (thinking that this was the right thing to do).
    Looking at the problems and solutions log on the computer the date that it really started to slow down coincides with downloading a norton update, which i have been unable to uninstall to check if this really is the problem.
    Further i have tried doing a System Restore, my laptop was not able to complete.
    I am stuck on the DOS screen for 10 mins with the message:
    PXE-E32 FTFP open timeout
    I have no idea what this means but the Problems and Solutions log says something about a system hang?
    I have looked on the web for other anti-virus software and they all seem to have one problem or another and slow computers down on startup.
    Does anyone know of a solution or do i just have to make a cup of tea when i switch my computer on and lace it with vodka till it has booted up completely!
    I am a novice when it comes to using computers so would welcome any non-technical advice.
    thanks

    Hi guys
    I would like to add some words about my experience using the Symantec Norton Antivirus software.
    I have used this software 3 year long. It was great because it supports one of the best virus filtering options BUT it really slow downs the operating system.
    I didnt use it on with Vista preinstalled notebook but on Win XP and I have to say that the notebook boot process was halted for about 30sec-1min till the whole parts of Norton Antivirus software has started It was very annoying
    However, I switched to AntiVir. This is software described by marina4000 and Im really happy because the boot performance increased.
    So finally I would also recommend removing this Symantec Norton Antivirus software and to switch to the other free AntiVir software ;)
    Bye

  • Can I slow down the rate of movement at end of a Ken Burns?

    And can I bring up a still, then have the burns effect begin aftyer a second or so?

    Just add the same photo with no KB effect before the photo that you are adding the KB effect to.
    Basically you will be adding the photo twice. one with the KB effect one without. The key is to make sure your KB effect starts at the same spot as the preceding image.... otherwise there could be a little jerk
    yes....
    To slow down the rate of a Ken Burns effect simply add more time that makes the movement much slower...

    speed = distance x time
    so, to slow down speed, your clip/title has to be 'longer'.

  • Can you slow down a voicemail you are listening to? I can't understand what someone said to me because they spoke too fast. I just want to know how to slow down the voicemail so I can understand her if it's possible.

    How can you slow down a voicemail you are listening to? Someone sent me a voicemail and they spoke way too fast for me to understand them. I want to know how to slow down the voicemail so I can understand them if that is possible.

       I have to say, this is so weird because it's actually become this way in the past week maybe, and I'm sure me saying this here will be disputed, ridiculed and belittled, and that's absolutely fair, but I've got to say it... up until a few days ago, my iTunes sync/backup area really would keep more than one backup for my one, single iPhone. They were all timed and dated with a drop-down menu (which appeared if I clicked the restore button) to choose which one I wanted to roll back to, for example. Sure, I'd read about the three backups thing etc. etc. and perhaps I got that wrong or misunderstood, but I can honestly say, I only ever had at the most two backups, that I could drop-down and choose to restore from. They were there. Same iPhone. Different dates.
       At the time, when this seemed to be the case, the backing-up process took quite a while. I would leave it to progress while I went and made a cup of tea, come back and it still wasn't finished running. So, not really AGES, but a little while.
       Now, when I perform a backup, the progress bar almost shoots across to a finish. I'll 'fess up... that worries me most of all. I can live without the luxury of a menu of backups... but if it does it once, I'd like to be sure it does it at all.
    Much more importantly though, thank you for your replies so far.
    Any further input, even if it's to belittle or shame is totally welcome. I'd like to understand this a bit more.
    Thanks again.

  • Does installing Desktop Experience on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 slow down the server / increase processor usage?

    Hello.
    I'm running a tekkit classic (Minecraft) Server on a dedicated server I got from OVH, Im just wondering - Im currently using ClamAV for an antivirus, But I would like windows defender.
    Im wondering if installing Desktop Experience on my dedi would increase processor usage or slow down the dedi even slightly.
    System Specs:
    RAM: 32GB DDR3 ECC 1600MHz
    CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1245v2
    HDD: 2x2TB SATA (Both used, specified as different drives)
    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
    Theres only 1 indev tekkit server currently running on there, Im getting 0-5% processor usage. I may be setting up more modpack servers  - but im wondering if installing desktop experience would increase the processor usage or slow the dedi down.
    Thanks.
