Mail slow with ios 6, and iOS 6 very slow and sticky in general

Ok, since I upgraded to iOS 6, my mail has been totally buggy on my iPad (version 3). It keeps sticking and showing the spinning icon when trying to download mail. I do a hard reset, and it works for a little while most of the time, but then sticks again. For what it is worth, my mail downloads from an exchange server. My iPhones (the 4 that I have from before getting the 5, as wells as the 5) do mail fine.
In general iOS 6 has made my devices as slow as mud even on other matters (one of many minor examples is that it will not unlock promptly - you try to enter the numbers and nothing happens for a few seconds - no numbers, no nothing - until it unsticks). In general, it feels like I have a PC with a virus.
Any solutions?

I feel this is part of the planned obselecence strategy. Sell you a fantastic device and then proceed to break it by incremental and non-reversible upgrades that make your device less and less useful, until it is a pale shadow of the device you purchased. Then stop providing upgrades for the product full stop, leaving it crippled.
The only constructive advice I can think of is to never accept an upgrade, because it seems that we are always slightly worse off afterwards then before.
Seriously; what extra useful functions has iOS6 given us over iOS5? A few gimmicks at the expense of losing the incredibly polished and integrated YouTube and Google Maps. And now, right on cue, scrolling of screen content is starting to judder and lag on brand new products such as iPad3. Iphone5 will have it's turn in a few months when iOS6.1 is out. It will be touted as a bug fix but we all know that it will be designed to simply accelerate hardware decriptude.
Apple are in for a seriously serious wake up call in the next year if they don't get thier act together. They can't keep on treating customers like this. The only other piece of constructive advice I can give is this; if you own any Apple shares, sell now.
Jon.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Safari and Clear Cookies, Data and History
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Mac os x lion 10.7 on mac book pro not updating and running very slow

i am using mac os x lion 10.7
problem it is not updating and running very slow. How to improve?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

Firefox maxing my cpu and runs VERY slow i have reset firefox and re installed it, diddnt work

firefox maxing my cpu and runs VERY slow i have reset firefox and re installed it, diddnt work i have googles searched about it and tryed so manny things to fix it but nothing works this is my last idea posting here

Did you do a clean reinstall and deleted the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing

Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing. System resources monitor shows only 700MB (of 5GB allocated to Photoshop) RAM and 30% CPU is used to perform such tasks as healing brush. Process bar comes up and is painfully slow to complete the task. I don’t understand why does Photoshop not use all the resources available/allocated? No other programs are running at the time, I have tried all the suggestions on this forum and all over the Google. My brand new system is: Intel I7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz, 8GB 1600 RAM, Samsung PRO 120GB SSD system drive, 100GB scratch disk. The photos I usually work on don’t exceed 20MB in size. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the answer.
I have not mentioned the GPU because the processes I described (as far as I know) are not supposed to be using GPU resources. So far I have not been able to afford the GPU i want which is GTX770, so I use Intel 4600 built in graphics instead. To be honest I find, that 4600 graphics is quite powerful. I am able to play Mass Effect 3 on Full spec on max res without game slowing down. And Windows 7 64bit index score is 7.8 for the 4600 graphics. Overall index score is 7.8 on my PC righ now.
I'll try to get the Photoshop system info as soon as possible.
Thanks again.

I'm having the same problem (iTunes 11.02!) .
I think this one isn't resolved because it IS rare: I've had iTunes on about 7 different machines (Mac and PC) since it begain (2001). In fact I maintain the same library without issues for over 10 years. Anyway this is the first time it's occurred (in my case it's happened on a pretty recent Mac Laptop). But as you may have discovered, google/bing searches for similar problems yeild VERY few results.
A guy at the Apple store was able to temporarily fix by doing some low level cache removal, that may give a glimpse to the reason, but is not a permanent fix.
I'm going to try a few things will report back if I have any luck**.
***If anyone else want to give it a try: Before starting bookmark the following: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391 this describes the location and purpose of most of the iTunes library files. And, any apple support docs on creating a new iTunes library... I'm unwilling to try the let iTunes "Keep iTunes Media folder organized " cause I have my own organization method.

Replace the Time Capsule with a new one or replace your router with an Airport Extreme Base Station that has faster Wi-Fi. Or you could just connect your old Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection from the Time Capsule to the computer's Ethernet port.

HT1222 IoS 8 downloading is very slow and estimated time is upto 16 hrs? What to do?

IoS 8 is not downloading in my mobile?
I have iPhone 5 mobile what to do plz help?

Hello there Sayed Shah Jehan,
It sounds like your iOS update is downloading too slow. Take a look at this information from the following article, about troubleshooting over the air downloads:
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
Download takes a long time, or you can't reach update server
iOS updates require a persistent Internet connection, and the time it takes to download the update will vary according to the size of the update and your Internet speed. You can use your device normally while downloading the iOS update, and iOS will notify you when you can install the update. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.
Update does not complete
If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.
You can also use iTunes on your computer to update your iPhone, so that is an option as well:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch iOS software
The 'Update your device using iTunes' section speficially.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

After update my Ipad3 in IOS7 , i have an issue when changing wallpaper IOS hanging and system very slow

system hanging and laggy , my IOS6 was very fast on my IPad3 , please i need solution .

When I change background or lockscreen there is a hang/pause of about 10 seconds then my iPad 3 is totally responsive again. If I hadn't read a review which mentioned this, I might have freaked out. I notice no difference is the speed of my iPad between iOS 6 and iOS 7 and my iPad is working perfectly.
Having said that, I had a disastrous upgrade experience with iOS 6 on my wife's iPad and ultimately did a factory restore. It was time consuming but once completed her iPad worked as well as mine. You might consider performing a factory reset.
The battery life of my iPad doesn't seem unchanged but depending on what devices you use with it and whether yours is WiFi only (like mine) or uses a data plan, those are two battery eaters. You should also check preferences that involve location aware applications and push notifications. I have noticed my phone is getting a bit less battery time and I'm still playing with the settings on it. My next step is turning BT off except when I'm in the car (my phone pairs to the car which is very handy).

Calendar on iPhone 3G iOS 4.1 still very slow to open

Since I went from iOS 3 to the terrible 4 also my iPhone 3G has been very slow.
The biggest problem however seems isolated: when I open the Calendar app, it takes a very long time for it to open. Initially it opens as quick as it used to, however then the screen goes blank with only the calendar header available. Then after what could be 10 to 20 seconds the app is functioning is again and the screen is filled with my calendar data. This happens every time I start the app.
I have just now updated to 4.1 to see if this issue is solved, but there has been no improvement here.
My Calendar is synced through MobileMe and I have 2 calendars. Before iOS 4 it worked perfectly well and smooth.
Am I the only one with this problem? If yes, could I solve it by a Recovery action and rebuild the iPhone?

Hi there! Same problem here. In April 2010 I bought my iPhone 3G with iOS 3.1.3 and I was enthusiast. Updating to iOS 4 I experienced poor performance of a sluggish phone with core apps working slowly. Updating to iOS 4.1 brought me back a responsive phone, but also the calendar issue. I've always used the List View and starting the app I realized that the list was empty. Quickly changing to Day/Month View and back to List View is a workaround I discovered by myself, but it's not what I expect from an Apple product. I've always synced my iPhone with my MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2009 shipped with Snow Leopard. Is anyone in Cupertino able to help people in this thread? Thanks in advance.

[PSA]iPod touch 4g untouched iOS 6.1.6 very slow, battery drain EVEN AFTER DFU RESTORE?

Hi guys, I wanted to report that updating your iPod touch 4th generation to iOS 6.1.6 will surely fix some security flaws, whi8le it will make your device super slow. It's frustrating. The battery on moderate / airplane usageisedlast almost 5 hours before it turns off completely and now it barely does 4! On iOS 6.1.5 it wasn't fast at all but yet acceptable. Lots of people tell that the fastest APt***s iOS 6 version (iOS 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.1.5 and 6.1.6) is iOS 6.1.5...
It's getting very frustrating, expecially in terms of battery life. Come on, this iPod touch is ony one year old and it came on iOS 6.0.1, so it was new, also ensured with online verification tools! I regret everything about updating.
So guys, if you were looking forward to updating your device, do not do it. Seriously, it will make it worse. It's unusable!
Everybody will tell me to erase my iPod. Well, I did it countless times. This time I even did a DFU restore thinking iOS 6.1.6 was better, while it wasn't. And there is no going back, if not putting your device into a stupid state in which you have to plug it in to your computer each time you want to turn it on. This update ruined my iPod.
I'm not expecting any assistance anymore, just a notice for you all:
DO NOT UPDATE. DO NOT UPDATE. DO NOT UPDATE.
p.s: I already tried optimizing settings and turning off every not needed feature also in restrictions.
Regards, @Haduken2g

Lol… my device is only one year old and I'm having problems since my warranty expired… this seems so suspicious… I'm not even sure if my next product will be traded Apple. More than unsure, it's very very likely. The first time in a 4 years Apple user experience that DFU didn't solve my software based problems. I would return to iOS 4 not if it was just for me.

Mail slow with ios 6, and iOS 6 very slow and sticky in general
