Since downloading OS8 my ipad is incredibly slow. What's the deal? How can I revert back to OS 7?

I am so disappointed with OS8 which I downloaded yesterday. My ipad is now painfully slow, but thta is not the only complaint, my keyboard freezes up too! I upgraded my phone also, but am not certain of changes there yet. Can anyone tell me how to revert back to OS 7?

Sorry,
Apple doesn't officially support or has any provisions for downgrading to a previous iOS version.
There are illegal Jailbreaking methods to do so, but if you do go down this path to downgrading your iDevice, Apple, as recently as iOS 6, has put code in place to detect a jailbroken iPad and prevent your iPad from ever working, again, if there are subsequent updates and upgrades. So, there is no going back from that.

  • How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

    How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

    I was able to switch out my HD to a previous drive with Snow Leopoard and FCPX 10.0.2. Final Cut Pro is working again like magic! I don't think it has anything to do with Lion. I already miss some of it's features. I am once again scrolling backwards. Within 5 minutes of using FCP 10.0.2 I already notice huge improvements of speed and lack of beach ball. I can honestly say that 10.0.3 is a completely unsuable application unless you have the patience to wait 15-30 seconds between the pushing of any button on the keyboard or the slightest movement of the mouse, well trackpad. Either way FCPX 10.0.3 is a dissappointment on so many levels. I am even giving up my solid state drive to revert back to the awesomeness of FCP 10.0.2.
    Really looking forward to the improvements on FCPX but feel that Apple should be releasing the software as Beta and offering it free for those who want to help develop and make it better.

    Restart the computer from Apple menu.
    When restart dialog box appears, uncheck the box beside
    "Reopen windows when logging back in".

  • How can i revert back to an earlier version of Firefox? I have had nothing but slow, slow loading eversince I upgraded to4.01.1. I hate this version of Firefox. I hate the toolbar, it's a horrible colour and I can hardly read it.

    Ever since I upgraded my Firefox to 4.01.1, everthing loads much, much slower.......I can go make a coffee while the page loads. Sometimes, it is soooooooooo slow, that it times out and I have to start all over again. Even when I sign on and load google, sometimes it takes forever.
    I also do not like the toolbar at the top. It's grey and hard to read, what is wrong with white?
    Can I revert back to the earlier version of Firefox? It worked much better. I use ancestry.com a lot and they even recommend a 3.??? version of Firefox.
    Anything is better, so I don't have to sit and wait and wait and wait.

    Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
    I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
    Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
    Thank you again!

  • I forgot passcode to my iPad... Now it is disabled, how can I log back in I don't remember it?

    I forgot passcode to my iPad now it is disabled, how can I log back in ?

    You can't log back in without restoring your iPad now.
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.

  • Since 3.6.16 upgrade last night, nearly every site freezes! How can I roll back?

    Last evening, Firefox upgraded to 3.6.16 automatically. Since that upgrade, nearly every site fails to load completely, and Firefox freezes! News sites, Facebook, every thing I used to have access to! What is going on, and how can I roll back from this garbage upgrade?

    Hmmmm, two days and several reboots later, everything now seems to be OK. In the words of Billy T James, "Api puckertif Ino..."...

  • Since downloading Firefox, my photo's have disappeared and replaced by numbers - How can I get the pictures back

    I was having trouble with downloads on Ebay using Internet Explorer. They recommended Firefox. And it worked better. However, under My Pictures, the actual pictures disappeared and were replaced with the numbers only. I makes it difficult to remember which picture is which when you wish to download 50 or more items. I would like to have the actual pictures back rather than just the numbers. In fact, I do not have the pictures appearing that I use for Ebay. Thank you.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.

    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 which my iBook G4 does not support. How can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox?

    A box showed up that said "this architecture does not support Firefox 4." Firefox was no longer available on my laptop. Leopard is my OS. (Highest it will go)

    Do you recall whether your iBook G4 could run Firefox 3.6? If so, you can download it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    If you were using 3.5 or earlier, finding it is a bit trickier.
    You probably want to backup your profile folder before uninstalling Firefox 4. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information Backing up your information | How to | Firefox Help].

  • I can't not play my games anymore, the curser (shotting balls) hesitates and slow down the game, how can i go back to previous version. it's not in the previous version box in properties

    I WANT TO GO BACK TO PREVIOUS VERSION, BUT IT'S NOT IN THE PROPERTIES. THIS VERSION DOES NOT WORK WITH THE GAMES I PLAY, IT'S MESSING AND SLOWING THINGS DOWN

    Sorry to hear this. What have you tried in the way of troubleshooting? Have you tried running from a new user account ?
    This really isn't the best place to reach out to Apple. It's a user-to-user forum. A very long shot, but you could contact an Apple retail store and possibly they'll be able to help…but that assumes you didn't update your project and events if you need to work on any of those shows.
    For some time, contributors here and other FCP forums have reminded people to follow Apple's best updating practices and archive the pre-update version of the app as well as their projects and events. Absent those archives, there is also the possibility of doing a restore from Time Machine (or some other BU utility), if used.
    Best of luck.

    An extra empty search bar has appeared on the my browser under the address bar. On the other side there is a 'manage your toolbar settings' spanner that has appeared and when I click it nothing happens.
    How do I remove the bar?

  • Just uploaded Safari 6.0 with OS X 10.7.4 and it is by far slower than any Safari version so far. What is the problem? Can I go back to the previous Safari?

    Just upgraded to Safari 6.0 when prompted by software upgrade in the apple menu. I have OS X 10.7.4. Was this a mistake? It is the slowest I have ever seen Safari. Safari has never uploaded a website properly on my brand new MacBook Pro but this is ridiculous. Can I go back to the previous Safari or are there any fixes? Please help.
