My iPad is taking forever to download anything since I got the new iOS7. How do I fix this?

It's taking at least an hour to download any app or tv episode. It never used to take this long until it recently updated my iPad. I'm using the exact same internet connection I did before. What can I do to speed up my downloads? I'm getting very frustrated. This is on my IPad2

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My screen is stuck downloading the new ios7 how to i get this to reset?

    My screen is frozen or stuck downloading the new iOS7 and it just shows there is a minute left to download. It has been like this for several hours and i have reset the phone and it comes right back to this status. How can i clear this so it will start the download again?

    Go into settings and see if you have Mute System Sounds checked or Lock Screen Orientation checked for the button just above the colume control on the right hand side of your iPad.  If you have Screen Orentation checked, just move the button and your screen should rotate again.  If you have Mute System Sounds, go to your home screen and then double tap your home button.  The most recently used apps will appear.  WIth your finger swipe those apps to the right and on the far left will be an icon for screen orientation.  Touch it to turn it on again, and your screen should again rotate.

    Hi NancyCarol,
    Based on your description, it sounds like you may be having an issue connecting to the Internet in general from your iPad. If you usually connect via WiFi, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    If your iPad is also a cellular model, then this article may also be useful (it is primarily aimed at iPhones, but the steps should apply to the cellular model iPads as well):

    Have you tried to reboot your router? Unplug it, count to 30, plug it back in and let it reboot. Also you may want to go into your settings on your iPad and 'reset network settings'.
    In case the update messed something up, letting the devices reboot sometimes helps.

    If it is the same app for the iPod and the iPad (universal or iPod/iPhone app) and not a iPad only app, the only way is to restore the iPad from the backup of the iPod.  That will wipe out all the app data currently on the iPad though.
    If the iPad is an iPad only app, then there is no way.

  • I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    You might need to use a faster internet connection or stonger wifi signal, or download them to your iTunes library (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519) and sync them to your iPad to watch them.

  • Just updated to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared.  Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB!  What is going on and how do I fix this?

    iPhone 5 (64GB)

    I had restored my iPhone 5 to factory settings and that cleared the problematic "Other" problem.  Flash forward a couple weeks and the problem has once again resurfaced.
    I tried updating iTunes and iOS to the newest versions and the problem still persists.
    I'm officially ready to switch to Windows Phone or Android now...

    A Google search with results restricted to the last month shows that this problem seems to be becoming more and more common.

    My downloaded TV Shows are played in random order, how do i fix this?
    Basically I have 10 complete seasons of Friends and I often watch it again and again but at the moment my itunes play my tv shows in random order!
    Please help!

    First, make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes on your computer. Update your Apple TV if you are using this as well.
    Second, if the updates don't resolve it, you'll need to use 'Get Info' on each TV episode. Make sure the media type is 'TV Show'. Then make sure that the epside number and season information is entered properly.
    That should fix your issue.
