My iPad 2 had trouble updating an app and now seems to be running slower

Earlier this evening, my iPad 2 had an app update notification for words with friends hd free. I clicked the update but everything stalled. It took forever to update the app and now my entire iPad seems to be running slow. I have tried resetting it, updating it to 4.3.2 and nothing seems to work. Should I perform a factory restore?

The whole iTunes store had issues all day, nothing was downloadable (video, apps,etc).
It had nothing to do with your iPad.
A reinstall should still put you at 4.3.2.

I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower. Has anyone had similar problems? I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

As Shootist pointed out, the system uses more power.
However, initially it will reindex the hard drive for spotlight, which will slow things down temporarily.
It also must rebuild caches that eventually will speed things up.
If it has completed indexing the hard drive (no dot pulsing in the spyglass), then there might be something wrong.
Start by booting into the Recovery HD (a partition created with Lion that has Disk Utility and reinstallation options) by holding down cmd-r when you restart. You can let go when the gray screen appears.
When it boots, select Disk Utility and Repair the drive.
If that doesn't speed things up, try re-installing the OS from the same Recovery HD. It won't delete any of your files, but it has helped some people whose Macs ran slow after installing Lion.
Also, how much memory do you have? Lion needs RAM so maxing your Mac out might also help.

I installed the latest update of iTunes and now my computer is extremely slow and it freezes, What should I do to make it run as usual?

I installed the latest update of iTunes and now my computer is extremely slow and it freezes. When I click on the itunes icon, nothing happens, if it opens is a long time afterwards. Most of the time it does not even open, but the computer is very slow. It is a PC desktop running windos xp.

I have a 4 yr. old iMac. I recently got a trojan on it that sent out emails to my address book. I got Norton Internet Security for Mac, and now my Mac is running slow, with way too many spinning beach balls of death. Was it a mistake to install Norton?

There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox.

HT4623 I have an iphone 4,I updated to 7 and now my phone is alot slower,How do i go back to ios6?

I have an iphone4,I updated to 7.0.2 and now my phone is alot slower.I have made as much space as i can with no real help.How do i go back to 6.1.4?

On the same computer it was last synced to. Otherwise it will set your iPhone back to factory settings with no content.

I updated an app and now it won't open

the app, Pirates in Love, will no longer open. I had purchased two new stories, but it said that they could not be download by means of failed communications. I went to the app store and saw that the app could be updated, thinking that this would help, i updated it. Now, I can click on the app, it's sponsor/creater (Voltage) pops up, but then it goes to a plain white screen and an alert pops up saying: Quit application, and a button underneath saying: Yes. I have synced my iPod with iTunes, but it still will not work.
Side Note:
This app was meant for iPhone, but, until now, it has worked just fine, and I've seen other reviews where other iPod users also have had no problem with the app.
Also, on the description of this app, it said that you can delete this app, and all when you go back and re-buy it, you will be able to keep your purchases and they will not charge you twice, I've considered doing this, but with the problems, and i really don't want to. especially being that when you go to delete an app, the alert pops up saying: all saved data will removed.

Double-press the HOME button, find the app, and flick its screen image up to kill the in-memory copy of the app. The reboot your phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears.

I recently had an update to firefox and now cannot use it at all. Apparently a 'bad image' not valid Windows image. Help.

I recently had an update to my Firefox account and since then cannot use it at all. When I try to a window opens which says the following:
The application or DLL C:/Program Files/Mozilla/Firefox/xul.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check your installation diskette.

Please do the following.
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox '''and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').
Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox '''at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
This is what's known as a 'clean install'. It will overwrite the corrupt files which are preventing Firefox from starting.

I had trouble with my pc and now when I go to my library it shows all my music but it says the file cannot be found

I had trouble with my pc it had an invalid drive. After I repaired it, I went to my Itunes library where everything was listed, but when I tried to play music I got a message the file could not be located. Can I just plug in my ipod and sync it with the library to bring back the files.

Hi,
It means that the files are not stored on your hard drive anymore. So when you click on a song in iTunes, it comes up saying that it can't play the song. A file is missing. This means that when your hard drive crashed, you lost your data but iTunes some how kept you songs in iTunes. Sorry to have to say this, but it looks like you have to re-download every single song all over again.

I updated an app, and now it crashes as soon as I launch it. What's wrong??

I updated my Colormania app from my iPod touch (3rd Generation 32 GB, 17.5 GB available, IOS 5.1.1) and it seemed to update successfully, it says that it's the newest version and the app icon changed when I restarted my iPod. However, when I tried to open for the first time since updating it, it crashed, and has never launched successfully. Is this a problem with my iPod Touch? Or do I need to contact the app's support? Thanks!

That happens sometimes:
Apps crashing
See:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
Restore to factory settings/new iPod

My iPod touch is stuck. I chose to update one app, and now it displays "waiting" on many apps, with no movement.

My iPod touch is stuck in update mode.

You ONLY updated one app? If you do a bunch at the same time, it will say 'waiting' and only update one or two at a time until are are updated. I would just turn if off and on, then reconnect to wifi, and go to the App Store and retry updating.
