Is ios8 OK for gen2 ipads?

Is the ios8 update appropriate for 2nd generation ipads, or will it slow down speed/performance of gen2 ipads?

I agree with you completely.
Issues are similar across the board for iPad 3 users, too!
The initial release of iOS 8 is not " Ready for PrimeTime" for both iPads 2 and 3.
I am an iPad 3 owner and I do not know if I want to bother now with upgrading my iPad 3 to iOS 8, now.
iOS 8 gets rid of the iOS version of iPhoto, plus the one feature I really, REALLY wanted was the Continuity feature and this is not a supported iOS feature on the iPad 3.
So, I do not know what the incentive for me to want to update my iPad to iOS 8, now.
There wasn't really any other standout features, I remember, that were must haves other than that one feature.
And, since IOS and OS X Yosemite connectivity is in question for me, now, I may not update my OS X system to Yosemite, when released,  and just live with Mavericks until I can afford to purchase another new Mac and new/newer iDevice in the future.

  • Is there a Digital AV HDMI Adapter for the iPad 2(30pin) that works with iOS8?

    Is there a Digital AV HDMI Adapter for the iPad 2(30pin) that works with iOS8? I had one that connected my Ipad2 to my tv so I can stream netflix on a TV that does not have the internet. As soon as I updated my iPad to iOS8 it no longer works Help!

  • After updating to iOS8 my iPhone and iPads no longer autofill name and passwords

    After updating to iOS8 my iPhone and iPads no longer autofill name and passwords
    It worked fine in iOS7, it still works fine on an older iPhone 4 running 7 and an iPad Air also running 7. Also my Macs, an old MacPro 10.7.5 and a MacBook Air 10.9.5 work great, autofilling every time.
    This is what Safari settings look like:
    All the password info is still there under Saved Passwords.
    I have tried turning Names and passwords off and on but no luck
    What should I do?

    I can get autofill to work but it will only remember my last username and password used for the site rather then letting me start typing a username and then suggesting one and its password being automatically filled in if I hit space while the suggested username was showing or when i finished typing the username (how it worked in iOS 7). I'm having zero issues using iCloud keychain on my MacBook pro running Yosemite so I'm not sure if apple accidentally removed this functionality or if there is something I can do to get it back? I have keychain turned on as well as autofill passwords and when I go into the settings I can see all the accounts and passwords for this particular site so I know they're saved..very odd behavior. If no fix I'll just start adding them all to one password but this seems cumbersome considering safari has this feature built in.

  • TS3988 Help - How do I manage to remove an IOS device, in this case an IPhone 4S, from my Apple ID account? I want to use this account only for my IPAD

    Hi,
    I have managed to initially set up our two IOS devices - my wifes IPhone 4S and my IPAD 2 - in a not so smart way.
    I used the same Apple ID account for both devices.
    As such it worked, however after a few days we decided to have two different Apple ID accounts, one for each device.
    I made a new Apple ID account for my wifes Iphone, and kept the old account for my IPAD.
    This is as well working now with both these accounts, however I have found out that my wifes IPhone is still registered under my account.
    This I will like to have rectified and cleared, i.e. I want my wife's phone cleared from my Apple ID account, so that my Apple ID account only contain information related to my IPAD 2.
    My wife's Apple ID account for her IPhone 4S works fine and we do not need to change anything for this account.
    However, how can I clear/edit my own account, so that it only contain information about my IPAD?
    For example, when I use the Apps "Find My Iphone" I can see that the system is trying to locate both my IPAD and my wife's IPhone 4S, when I have logged on with my Apple ID account no. This show that one way or the other both devices are registered under my Apple ID account.
    I will appreciate some assistance to tell how to rectify this matter,
    Regards,
    Morten

  • One account for two iPads, different content

    Hello everyone.
    I've got a question - I recently bought an iPad2 in addition to my first iPad, and I'm wondering if it is possible to use the same account (and the same PC) for both iPads, while having a different set of apps, photos, music and other stuff on them. If it is possible, then how it is done?
    Also, a related question - my first iPad is set to auto-sync with iTunes, and I'm tired of it copying useless stuff on connect. If I set it to manual sync, will I lose all my purchases for that iPad? And if I set my second iPad to manual sync, is it possible to manually sync only the important things that I don't want to lose, while ignoring, for example, all the free apps?

    I'm wondering if it is possible to use the same account (and the same PC) for both iPads, while having a different set of apps, photos, music and other stuff on them
    Yes
    how it is done?
    Just chose what you want to sync to each device when connected to iTunes.
    f I set it to manual sync, will I lose all my purchases for that iPad?
    Of course not.  Why would that happen?
    is it possible to manually sync only the important things that I don't want to lose,
    You can tell iTunes to sync whatever you want.
    I suggest you read the manual:

    That message means that you have to restore the iOS software because something went wrong. Follow the instructions here. I hope that you have a backup.

  • Step by Step guide for upload iPad only apps

    Please note that this is not derived from me alone.
    This Knowledge is derived from three forum members, DutyFarm, ChoosingNameCanBeSoXXX & Dei_Machiavelli.
    I just add the solution for generate the .xcent file.
    [Atleast enough for me to make it work.]
    Welcome that if anyone find that this step by step guide not detail enough, you can copy and add more points and post again.
    Step 1:
    Make sure that all the Icons for the iPad are accounted for because if you don't, Application Loader will Scream
    [For some strange reason, you have to add the Old iPhone Icon Size as well]:
                             Old iPhone: 57 by 57 [Icon]
                 Start Up Icon for iPad: 72 by 72 [Icon-iPad.png].
    SpotLight Search for iPad Must Have: 48 by 48 [Icon-iPad-spot.png]
    Step 2:
    Load the Mac, unzip your *.ipa file, place the *.app file on your desktop and modify its internal Info.plist file.
    Change 3.0 to 3.2 here:
    <key>MinimumOSVersion</key>
    <string>3.2</string>
    Step 3:
    Because after you change the Info.plist file by your own way, the file will changed to wrong codesign.
    So that will need this step to change it back to right codesign which can success upload to apple store.
    Create this weird NameOfYourApp.xcent file on your desktop:
    That strange 10 digit is the App ID:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>application-identifier</key>
        <string>APP_ID_Letters_&_NUMBER_HERE.com.whatever.YourAppName</string >
        <key>get-task-allow</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    Step 4:
    Now Type this in Terminal:
    /usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Yours Distribution Cert Name" "--resource-rules=/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.app/ResourceRules.pl ist" --entitlements "/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.xcent" "/Users/ABC/Desktop/YourAppName.app"
    iPhone Distribution: Yours Distribution Cert Name  << This you can check back at your Cert in  Keychain.
    /Users/ABC/Desktop/ : here is assume that your username in you Mac OS is ABC. But more easily, you can put all the file at any path you want.
    I just put all files at the iPad folder at system disk root. so that the path just /iPad/ .
    OK, if no error come out, congrats that you are done. You can upload the app by Application Loader. (Assume that you know what is it, and need to zip you .ipa before upload)
    BUT, LIKE ME and some member here, we see two error after the Step 4 command as below:
    /Users/kevs/Desktop/MyApp.xcent: unrecognized blob type (accepting blindly)
    /Users/kevs/Desktop/MyApp.xcent: invalid length in entitlement blob
    After few night try..... finally I found out the solution and just successfully submit the iPad App!!!
    The main problem was we used a wrong method to create that stupid MyApp.xcent file!!!!
    I used many many method, use Mac text editor, Window notepad, Mac/ Window Dreamweaver as .xml......
    but all facing the strange "invalid length in entitlement blob"
    why invalid length?!?! so I try to search for what is .xcent..... finally I found the following webpage
    http://www.246tnt.com/iPhone/
    it's talk about codesign and entitlement files.
    then..... I FOUND .xcent NOT ONLY A SAMLPE TEXT FILE!!!!!
    in the middle of the link above, there are a highlighted simple script , which is a python script to help us generate a .xcent entitlement file!!!!!
    Here is step by step solution to solve this error:
    1) just download the .py file here: simple script
    2) put the .py file anywhere you like, or just simply put in the root of you mac
    3) turn on the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), goto the folder where you put the .py
    4) TYPE: python gen_entitlements.py 5C297XXXXX.com.yourdomain.MyApp myApp.xcent
        Where 5C297XXXXX.com.yourdomain.MyApp is your AppID with BundleID,
        myApp.xcent is the file will be generate to you
    5) Finally you can see the .xcent which make me nearly crazy for a week!!!!!!!!
    6) Use this .xcent file to run that codesign script (Step 4 above)
    7) Congratulation the codesign changed and you can zip your app and upload it
    I have spent many hours for this simple stuff.........so sad........>.<
    Hope this post can help all guys who still mad on this error when trying to upload a iPad only apps.
    Good luck!!

    I think I followed everything very closely, but I am getting these errors when trying to run the codesign script
    here is my script command:
    /usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Nethercottage Games, LLC" "--resource-rules=/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app/ResourceRules.plist" --entitlements "/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.xcent" "/Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app"
    Here is the error I get:
    /Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app: replacing invalid existing signature
    codesign_allocate: object: /Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app/book1 malformed object (unknown load command 9)
    /Users/BATC/Desktop/book1.app: object file format invalid or unsuitable
    Any help on this please?

    Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. I assume that if I buy an iPhone 5s (or 5c) then iWork would be listed as a "purchased" app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account... or are keynote, pages, and numbers completely seperate between ipad and iphone? I know they would be a seperate purchase for my Powerbook. Thanks so much for your help!

  • How do I transfer all my music, apps contacts etc for my iPad and iPhone to my new laptop from a desktop?

    I can't update the software on my desktop because it's too old and no stores seem to have the "bridge" disc I need to upgrade my current system. So, I need to transfer my synch abilities for my iPad and iPhone from my desktop to my newer, more up-to-date laptop. What is the best way to do this? I have the apple base station also.

  • How do I use the same apple id for 2 iPads, but not share email, phone #, etc.?

    I have had 2 iPads for a couple years, both using the same apple id. One is used primarily by my husband. Today I got notifications that my husband's ipad is now using all the same email addresses and phone number associated with mine. How do I change this?

    You can set the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores, but have different Apple ID's for Messages, iCloud and Facetime.
    Settings->iCloud->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Facetime->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID->Sign Out
    Just go into Settings, and make sure the Apple ID set for those services is different for both iPads.

    How do I use my iPhone 5 as a router for my iPad?

    Yep, as stedman has helpfully proffered a link on HowTo.
    Once the personal hotspot is up, you can connect a reasonable number of devices to gain Internet access. The iPad can hook up either via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. If you have a computer, you also have the choice of a wired connection as well.

    i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully.  They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac.  Is this a synch issue?  When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased.  Is that true?  My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well.  Thanks.

    You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)
