My iPad has been going crazy since the iOS 5.0.1 update.
Touch screen seems to be selecting things on its own and it types on its own. Pages in iBook turn by themselves and the screen keeps flashing. Sometimes, it won't let me move beyond a certain point on the screen. Happens about once an hour. Turning it off helps, but it usually starts again. Any way to go back to ios 5.0? Any help would be appreciated.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported. Have you tried closing all apps completely and doing a reset and seeing if that helps ?
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.

My iphone 5 has been very slow since the ios 7.1 update.
The internet conection has been lagging and takes so long to connect to websites and look a pictures and videos. I have never had an issue since I bought the phone last May. Anyone else? I am on the 3G network and all the bars are either full or behind on one. Any help would be much appreciated.

I really need help with this. It's been going on for a while now, and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wait until the next update. All I know is that my iPhone 4S, isn't allowing me to put music on it.
The next iOS update won't change this.
Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?

Last week my iPhone 5 would only be down 5-10% in 24 hours. I mostly text and e-mail. After the 6.1 update yesterday it has been 20 hours since the last charge and it is down 60%. Something is up
Sounds like all the settings that you may have adjusted to save power (screen brightness etc etc) have been defaulted back to factory.
If you jump into all the settings and turn off what you dont need and turn down what you do need it will be the same as before.
Worked for me

Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?
Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?
Do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the ipad to boot back up.
If that doesn't help - settings - general - reset - reset network settings - no data loss, however you will need to reenter known wifi passwords. -
SInce the iOS 7.0.2 update I can't have any GarageBand's Ringtone working for the text's Ringtone...
Please help meAs the other person that replied, I have no issues with my 4S on iOS 7.0.2. What user troubleshooting have you tried? Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try double tapping on the home button, swipe upwards to force closed the camera app, then do a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will have not affect on your data. Try opening the camera app again and see if it works.
One last question. You say that it shows a standard size picture of the picture where you started. Is this when you are looking at the picture you tried to take in the Camera Roll? -
How do I fix the album art on my iPod? It has been scrabbled due to the iOS update.
My iPod touch 5th generation has had two problems come up since the iOS update; I regret updating because I was happy with how it was before. The album art has been scrabbled on my iPod; it has placed album art that goes with other songs to the wrong song or has album art I've never seen before. My iPod also has a problem with music now. I've noticed that I am unable to play music that I once could. Some have an iCloud or stop symbol next to it and I can not listen to them. I notice that while it plays my music on shuffle, while looking at the screen and song, it will skip through about 2-5 or more songs as if it's not allowed to play it. I am very irratated with these problems. Everything was all dandy before these updates. Any feedback would be very helpful and I thank you.

FIRE FOX USED TO BE A FAST BROWSER BUT IT IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER. THE BLUE-E IS ABOUT TO THE POINT OF BEING FASTER THEM THE FOX. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE THE FOX, JUST WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH IT AND THE LONGER I HAVE THE WINDOW OPEN ARE UP THE WORSE IT GETS. I DO A LOT OF GAMING ON FACEBOOK PLAYING MAFIA WARS BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST THERE IT IS ALL THE TIME AND EVERY WHERE. I HAVE TRIED ADD-ON'S THINKING THEY MAY HELP BUT NOTHING HAS DONE ANY GOOD. CHROME IS TWICE IF NOT THREE
TIMES AS FAST AS THE FOX LATELY ON LOADING PAGES.For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
