Return My Ipad 2 to ios 7.1.2?

i would please like to return to ios 7.1.2 on my ipad 2 because i upgraded to ios 8 but it doesn't work well for me on my ipad 2. First of course there are compatibility issues with some of my apps which were all working fine with ios 7.1.2 . My Ipad 2 has become really slow to respond at times and the auto screen rotate takes forever to rotate, sometimes minutes before it actually rotates, so im sure ios 8 is the best ios for the other devices but as so mine i'll please love go back to ios 7.1.2 for my peace, thanks apple.

These are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Downgrading the iOS version isn't supported by Apple.
What have you tried to see if they improve things ? Have you tried :
- closing apps via the iPad's taskbar : iOS: Force an app to close.
- if having problems with Safari then try clearing its history and data : Settings > Safari
- soft-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.
- backing up (and copying any purchases over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases) and restoring
- adjusting settings e.g. turning 'reduce motion' on (Settings > General > Accessibility), turning off 'background app refresh (Settings > General), turn off multitasking gestures (Settings > General)
- resetting back to factory defaults (after copying off purchases and any documents, photos etc that you want to keep) and then resyncing content back.

How can I return my ipad 1 to pre OS5?

how can I return my ipad 1 to pre OS5?
Ive been reading the forums all over the place to find the solution to my ipad 1 continually crashing. it does it mainly in safari and the app store.
Its really annoying when you're halfway through composing a long e-mail message and it just reverts back to the home screen.
I'm perfectly happy to give up the advantages of IOs 5, because I would rather have a stable machine (like it used to be) than use the cloud and multitasking. (I don't use them anyway). I know that some of my apps might stop working but its more important to me that the basics work.
cheers

You cannot downgrade the iOS. Once you upgrade, you're stuck with it.
Part of your problem is that your iPad is old and it probably having difficulty keeping up with the data and protocols for the newer software. It's probably time to send a note to Santa.

If nothing else works, you might try this one. It has worked for many others ...
Use iTunes to do a reset to factory default condition. Always be sure to do your backups before fiddling with your iPad. You might do both the iCloud and the iTunes backup, just to be sure!

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

HT1222 error 14 restore ipad 2 GSM iOS 5.1.1

error 14 restore ipad 2 GSM iOS 5.1.1

I spoke to Apple Tech Support. They were very helpfull and resolved the problem. First I was told to put into airplane mode for 15 seconds then go back to problem. That didnt help but apparently this solves lots of network type faults. Next I was told to reset the network that also didn't work. Finally then i was told to Hold both buttons until the screen goes black, when the Apple symbol returns release buttons. When the pad rebooted this cured the problem and i was able to tether again.
It seems you try this first on any faults it will often resolve problems. I've added this in hope that it will help others with any type of fault.
Can I thank you for all your help. Kind Regards Keith

Airplay does not work with slideshows and music - get the slides but no music with iPad Air2 and ios 8.1.22

iPad Air 2 with celluar with ios8.1.2 will not airplay with apple tv slideshows with music. I see the slides on the TV but do not hear the music. This works on the iphone 5s with iOS 8.1.2 and with my other iPad which is on iOS7.
This problem was reported on Nov 21, 2014 and other people had reported it prior to me.
When will this be fixed by Apple - it worked in the past and does not work now.
Should i return my iPad Air 2 and get my money back?

Problem seems to be resolved. Should have thought of it myself ;-) thanks so far!

No sound on iPad mini after iOS 8 update

After updating my iPad mini to iOS 8 I found I couldn't hear any sounds. It is not muted, all sounds are up, and even tried with headphones. Can't hear music, games, keyboard clicks, nothing. I also updated my iPhone5 and the sound is fine there. Anyone else have this problem or know a solution?
And yes I checked the physical volume/mute buttons on the side as well as in the settings/sound menu.

Amagno
u r probably using the wrong button, is not volume. I hope you have an iPad with the slider.
but, in any case, try yo replicate the environment for the solution, and, if you DO NOT have the 'rotation lock" slider as "rotation lock" and directly in "sound off" go back one step and put it in "rotation lock" … try to use volume button, that it will not work and then do as below ...
I solved this on my ipad mini retina by setting the 'rotation lock' slider to 'sound off':
- Go to Setting->General
- Change from rotation lock to sound off.
- Wiggle the slider: sound will return
- Now you can set the slider back to rotation lock again

Ipad mini facebook ios 7 problem

Hello!
After upgrading to Ios 7 i downloaded the facebook app to my ipad mini. Once i logged into it, it asked me to log in the facebook from settings in my ipad. I found facebook tab in settings and entered everything but now it tells that the password was wrong. When i'm trying to type the password, it tells me: "error signing in. Could not communicate with the server", and that's it! I tried to delete my account from that settings tab but it doesn't do anything. Even deleting app or rebooting the device still leaves that facebook tab the same: i cannot enter the password and cannot delete an account. Meanwhile each time i start facebook app - it asks me to log in from settings, but i cannot!
What can solve this issue? Because i cannot do anything with that facebook tab - neither enter the password, nor even delete account data from it.
Sorry for long question.
P.S. Anyone know if it is possible to write somewhere about bugs or lags i found in ios7?

I too am experiencing this issue; on two seperate iPads (with Retina) with two different accounts. It started when I upgraded the iPad's to iOS 7.
When I tap on "Delete Account" I am asked to confirm with the following message: " Delete | Do you want to delete this Facebook account from your iPad? : Delete | Cancel "
When I tap on Delete, the message goes away and the account is not deleted from the iPad.
When I tap on "Delete Account" again, nothing happens.
If I leave the Facebook integration screen and return to it I am able to tap on "Delete Account" and am asked to confirm: " Delete | Do you want to delete this Facebook account from your iPad? : Delete | Cancel "
I just installed iOS update 7.0.2 but this issue still persists - an endless & futile loop. ∞
Wiping / restoring the iPad to setup as a new device is completely unacceptable. The hassle of losing date, settings and the tedious task of putting hundreds of Apps back into folders just isn't worth it, especially just to use Facebook integration on the iPad.

Has anyone upgraded to iOS 8 and have found that the service provider keeps dropping out? I have to restart my iPad to get my service back. Only happened after upgrading! Would love A fix for this.

Apple's iOS platform (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) has never, and will never support flash.
First on this; Thoughts on Flash. This is from Steve Jobs regarding Apple's views on Flash (2010)
Second; Adobe stops making Flash for mobile devices. This is from Adobe themselves last year stating that they would stop making Flash for mobile devices.
If you can find the App equivalent of the programs you are looking for, then congratulations, however, if you require specific 'programs' requiring flash, then the iPad is certainly not for you, and returning it would be the best choice (granted you are still within the return period).
The lesson in this; Research what a device can and cannot do prior to purchase

How can I downgrade ipad 2 from ios 6 to 5.1.1?

Bought iPad yesterday. This morning was prompted to upgrade to iOS 6. I did. Now I want iOS 5.1.1 back.

I wanted to downgrade because Youtube and Google maps are gone in iOS 6.
Apple support said use "Youtube iphone app". It takes 1/4 of the screen. If they sold me iPad for 1/4 price I would have done it. I paid full price, I want full app. Then they said "use Safari, go to Youtube URL". So many extra clicks, part of the screen taken by the browser. Again, why pay for supposedly "perfect" Apple product, when you cannot use those features that make it "perfect"?
I do not even want to start on AppleMaps.
When I tried to restore original factory image - it gave me iOS 6, although my original iPad was iOS 5.1.1. It was less than 48 h after purchase and after 1st startup.
Imagine, you buy a product with several apps you are going to use. Then next day it says "do you want to upgrade?". Click Yes. The apps you bought the product for, are gone! Thank you very much!
Returned the iPad to the store. Sorry.

Having touch responsiveness with my iPad Air 2 iOS 8.1.1

I am having problems with the responsiveness of my iPad Air 2. From using the keyboard to selecting links. In addition trying to select and copy is difficult too. I wonder if it is the new screen tech they are using? I returned three iPad Air 2's and then My friend bought me one as a gift and it isn't popping like the others but it sure is non-responsive to my touch or anyone's for that matter. Very frustrating. It has the latest iOS 8.1.1 and it is a iPad5,3. I have restored it and Hard booted it

Not only frustrating but the odds of having purchased four devices that have all had the same problem have to be pretty high. That's incredible. You should probably purchase from another store if you decide to buy another iPad, which is actually what I would recommend. If you are having this kind of luck with wherever you purchased the iPads, return this one - again - and try another store.
