Slow performance after iOS 7.1 upgrade, please help.

My kids have iPad Airs. One of them has a serious slow down in performance after upgrading to iOS 7.1. The others work fine. It is so slow that it is unusable. When you type a single character, it takes several seconds to show up on the screen. I'm rebooted and did a reset in Settings. Any other ideas? Please help.

I called Apple Support (800-275-2273) and they also recommended a reset: "Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears".
It came to a screen with a USB cable and arrow to iTunes logo. I had to connect to my PC and lanuch iTunes. iTunes recognized the iPad in restore mode. My only option per Apple Support was to restore to factory defaults. It appears all data is lost.
The Apple Support person would not admit that this is a known issue with iOS 7.1 even though you can go online and see that may people have slow performance after upgrading to iOS 7.1.

Mac book pro slow performance all of a sudden.. please help.

Mac book is running slow all of sudden. Please help debug the issue.

Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Read about it here.

EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

IPod touch 4G experiencing slow performance after iOS 5.0.1 update.

When iOS 5 was on this iPod, the performance was fairly slower than I expected. Now, since I have updated to 5.0.1 the performance has gotten noticeably worse. Apps crash a lot, especially Safari, opening things like apps, typing in the keyboard and opening the notification centre can be quite unresponsive and sluggish sometimes, and I have also noticed in the Diagnostics an Usage list I get lots of low memory errors, and I think one of these pops up every time an app crashes. I really hope they fix this in the next iOS Update as apps randomly crashing gets quite annoying.

Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again? If this does not help, set it up as new device without using the latest backup.

Try doing a Safe Mode reboot by holding down the Shift key when you hear the start-up tone. When the progress bar appears you can release the key. A Safe Reboot will clear some of the caches, it's possible one became corrupt. If that doesn't work do both a SMC and PRAM reset, you may need to do each 2-3x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Upgraded my ipad4 from ios6 to iOS 8 because the new WSJ app required it. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!! I can maybe understand some apps being slower but not Safari or Chrome. Apple must be throttling back the ipad4 processor even more with ios8 to force an upgrade to the next gen iPad whenever it arrives.

IPad slow performance on iOS 7

I've notice on my iPad 3 that dictation sometimes doesn't work at all, and downloading Youtube video's is slow. Using iOS 6 these fuctions were fine.

I called Apple Support (800-275-2273) and they also recommended a reset: "Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears".

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

Dictation problems after ios 8.2 upgrade

I rely heavily upon dictation.   2 problems occur (at minimum) after ios 8.2 upgrade to iphone 6. .
1. I wasnt going to add this dictation bug (feature ;-)) b/c couldnt reproduce the seemingly safari bug when got home, but as I was dictating my first sentence for defect here, it happens in this text box on any line. :-(.
    1. Problem is as soon as dictation types in word Or words, when I hit done, it erases what was just dictated! Happens on even just ine word. (So having to manually type all of this n I stink at typing ie, time consuming).
    2. I can paste characters from noteoad into here...so must be dictation relateD...it seems.
2. In the calendar textbox, when I dictate a new event (doesnt happen in location textbox) and the last character before it fills up the end of textbox (just before the "x"), it automatically does "done" for me (the beep sounds), it stops dictating, but more annoying is it will no longer allow me to continue dictating in that new event's top textbox. That means I HAVE to type n I stink at that. To reproduce I simply:
1. press the microphone.
2. Type in only numerics 1 thru 17....it will dictate to look like this: 123 456-789-1011 1213 1415 1617
3. "Beep/dong" noise because it hits the end of characters alowed it seems n decides it is "Done".
4. press the microphone
   5. "Beep/dong" noise because it wont let you dictate any more of anything said.
I Couldnt find the entry where google shows someone with what looks like same issue/bug/defect/feature # 2, so entering this.
I Have warranty but cant figure out how to get phone support for iphone (only mac ...last year).
I don't seem to have this problem using i notepad in phone when he gets to having to wrap. :-)
I Have not trieddictation on my mac...yet.
CAn someone help on these issues please? Thanks!

Hey Markwoody,
Wow! That definitely sounds frustrating, but good job so far isolating and troubleshooting the issue. We have a few more steps that we can try in an attempt to resolve this issue:
First, it sounds like you have tried restarting your phone. Let’s try a reset instead:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201559
How to reset
- You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
- To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue persists, we’ll want to restore your device to factory settings and test once more. You can backup your device, but be sure to restore it as new first for isolation purposes, as restoring a backup can sometimes restore the same issues that you were experiencing before.

IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router. If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone. All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers. I run my own for example for caching purposes.

Sound problems after iOS 4.2 upgrade

Experiencing very poor sound quality after iOS 4.2 upgrade. Bad eq, left channel dropping out, sounds like heavy reverb. Exists with iPod and pandora apps. Tried adjusting eq in settings. Any one else having problems?

Yep I just upgraded to new OS 4.2 on iPhone 4 and I get this static buzz sound when talking to people it's really annoying and sound quality is terrible. What happened? I went back to the shop and they said it's the upgrade and that there is an issue with it. They also said there is no point leaving the phone with them as they can't fix it that it's upto apple to release a patch for the problem. Can we get a fix for this soon before I damage my ears?

Problem with 3G network after ios 6.1 upgrade on iphone 3Gs.

I have a iphone 3Gs and not a 5 or 4 and since my ios 6.1 upgrade it's a nightmare for me. I meet a lot of reliability issue with the 3G network. Before the 6.1 upgrade it worked fine. My carrier provider is SFR. It seems to be a "bug" only with 3G. Maybe it's the same as 4Gs but not corrected for 3Gs.
By example I'm using my iphone to join a Free Number to join a confcall system and everytime after sometimes 3 minutes or 15 minutes I'm automatically disconnected - nobody is hearing me and I have to switch off and to reconnect. Others collegue working with me having a iphone 3Gs meet the same issue as me with 3G network.
Do you plan to release the 6.1.1 version for iphone 3Gs ? if yes ? when ?

After testing workaround to disable WIFI when I'm using 3G network. It worked for 1 confcall during 1 hour !! but for the second confcall the duration was only 6 minutes and the network was cut !!! the workaround doesn't work !.
I'm surprise because I don't find similar issue on Internet with "Reliability of 3G on iphone 3Gs after ios 6.1 upgrade!!".
This morning during a call this message appears "Could not activate cellular data network".
Are you in the same case as me ? Do you have a workarounf for me ?

HT201406 why is the iphone 3G 4.2.1 so slow? after ios 4 on iphone 3G i don't want this phone anymore. So disapointed about apple!!!

why is the iphone 3G 4.2.1 so slow? after ios 4 on iphone 3G i don't want this phone anymore. So disapointed about apple!!!

First try Resetting it: hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
If that does not work Restore your iPhone in iTunes.

CANNONT GET MAIL AFTER IOS 6.0 UPGRADE SAYS VERIFY I HAVE ENTERED CORRECT INFO - BUT THEY HAVNT CHANGED?

after ios 6.0 upgrade i cannot retrive my emails it says " the mail server .................is not responding. Verify you have entered the correct account info in mail settings."
but they havnt changed.

I get the same problem. My settings haven't changed, etc., all imported across from my old iPhone 3 that worked fine. I've double-checked everything. I've even deleted the account and re-established it. Still doesn't work. My e'mail provider says that it's not them as all my settings are correct, and I can connect ok via webmail on safari, so it's not them but Apple, which sounds believable. Can't find a solution.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
Try This - Renew IP Address:
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
