Slow safari iPad first gen

Having increasing difficulty with my safari.
Have to hit reload multiple, multiple times in order to get pages to load. Seems to be intermittant, as in it comes and goes, and only iPad is affected. (have checked internet connectivity with multiple other devices connecting to my router when iPad Safari problem occurs and no other device is having problem loading any type of site.). Altho prob is intermittant, i find I am running into it more and more, and wondering about any type of solution for the aggravation.
Have done the normal steps of clearing cache, restarting, etc. and other apps work blazingly fast.
It's just my safari.
Any ideas?

Lots of images slow it down very much, and the pages don't load completely because lack of processing power and RAM.
Did you get iOS 4.3? Safari performance was increased dramatically.
You can try another browser like Terra, which is free from the app store.

  • IPad first gen Calendar will not show month view for March. When you go feb to march the pad goes back to the home screen. Apr etc are all there. March seems to have some problem always going to the home screen. How can I fix this

    I am haveing trouble with the calandar view on an iPad first gen. the month of March will not display , no matter how it is asked for the device drops out of calandar and defaults to the home screen. all other months display. Any fix suggestions welcome.

    Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

  • IPad first gen 3g, battery died, wont start

    I have been happily using my iPad first gen since i got it when the iPad 3g launched. Every night i would put it on the charger, but recently i went back vacation and didnt charge it for a week. When i got home my iPad was dead, so i placed it on the charger. It shows the charger connecting, the symbol on the face turns to the lightning bolt with a flashing red empty battery. After sitting like this for four hours, it still refuses to boot up. This is the exact same charger i have used for years, and i have tried pressing the home and lock button to force a restart (after about 6 seconds it just turns off). No idea whats wrong, hoping he isnt dead because i cannot afford a new one =(

    Check that your cable is in good working order and that you are using the appropriate charger. The iPad required a 10W charger, not the 5W that comes with an iPhone. Most other third-party chargers not SPECIFICALLY stated to be for iPad will charge, but very slowly.
    Also, you should;t let the battery drain completely before charging it. You can do that maybe once per month, but repeatedly doing this is not good for Li-ion batteries. Follow Apple's recommendations for battery care and you should be ok. https://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html

  • IPad first gen not turning on!

    Hello, please help me!! My iPad first gen isn't turning on!! It's just a black screen. Tried resetting it and tried dfu mode but nothing!! When I plug it in to charge then the screen keeps flashing on and off, no apple logo just a black screen lighting up and switching off immediately and looping again. When I plug it out of charge then its completely unresponsive!! Not even lighting up!! Tried whacking it near the headphone jack but still not working... Is there a problem with the battery? Or the screen. I've never dropped it ever.  Itunes doesn't recognise it at all. Do I have to replace the battery or something? I really need help so please help me!! I'm going crazy!!
    thank you soo much

    I went to to apple to fix it and they said it's the batteries problem so they did something and now instead of a black screen it has an apple logo!! It's progress!! But they said the battery is gone bad so I have to change it but apple is not allowed to do that so I'm guessing I have to do it myself... Oh well, thank you for your help!!

  • ICloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

    iCloud Synchronization not working between iPad first gen 5.1.1 & iPhone 4S 6.0.1?

    I can see the acknowledgement that this issue will be fixed in the 'next' software update. Considering the original post was for an iPad 2 running 5.0.1, I am not sure if this issue on iOS 5.1 which runs on my new iPad (4G) is considered fixed. As I reported in my previous post it is impossible to update individual tracks. I also tried adding entire collection to a single playlist, shuffling the playlist. While shuffle is in progress, turning to the 'list' view that allows tracks to be rated does who the currently shuffled playlist and the currently playing track and assigns the rating to the track correctly. However, as soon as the second track plays, switching to list view (which displays the ratings) lists only the tracks from the currently playing track's album. Which is insane IMHO.
    So, was this not fixed with 5.1 update? Or the iOS 5.1 will get it's own piece of update on this?

  • Hello. I dropped my ipad first gen from my chair, about 2 feet above the floor. The screen went black and I can't turn it on again. I have tried holding both buttons down at the same time, but nothing happens. Any help?

    Hello. I dropped my ipad, first gen, from my chair to the floor. The screen went black and I can't start it again. I have tried to hold both buttons down at the same time, but nothing happens. Any help?

    You will probably have to contact Apple for repair but before you do try this:
    Turn your iPad upside down on your lap and give it a hard smack on the back.

  • My iPad (first gen) crashes each time I put it in the keyboard dock

    My iPad (first gen) crashes each time I put it in the keyboard dock. When I put it in, it freezes and I need to do a reset..

    It's not possible to say, it depends on how much of that data changes between back ups.
    The first time it will use up 6 GB, if you have changed say 500 KB when you next back up, then you'll use 500 KB.

  • IPAD (first gen) slow, app crashing after IOS5

    Hi all,
    After upgrading to IOS5 my IPAD (1st generation) became really instable. Nearly all the applications suddenly crashes after some time, all the IPAD behavior seems really slow.
    It seems to be correlated to a lake of memory with IOS5. This can be seen with some applications like Atomic web browser: before IOS5 it was possible to open multiple tabs, with IOS5 the browser can't load the content of only 2 tabs!
    What's the issue with IOS5 and IPAD 1st gen?
    Thanks for your advices

    I haven't had these problems (I too have iPad 1), so I don't really understand why you are. If a restore as a new device isn't resolving them I'm not sure what else to suggest.
    I think this is most likely to be a misbehaving app, but I can't suggest which one.
    Apple has never supported downgrades to earlier iOS versions. If you Google, you will find many sites with details of how to do it, but we cannot discuss it here.

  • IPad Mini 3 LTE Upload Speeds Slower than iPad Mini Gen 1

    I have both an iPad Mini Gen 1 (non-retina) and a new iPad Mini 3.  Both units are WiFi + Cellular and are on Verizon Wireless.  The iPad Mini Gen 1 indicates full signal strength when on LTE, 5 dots.  The iPad Mini 3 indicates only 2 or 3 dots.  The difference in the number of dots, or bars, could simply be a difference in the method used to calibrate signal strength.   My first impression though was that the new Mini 3 did not have as sensitive a receiver as the Gen 1 Mini, so I decided to do some bandwidth tests.
    Both units indicated a ping time averaging 40 milliseconds.  The download speeds were comparable, approximately 23 Mbps.  The upload speed for the iPad Gen 1 was approximately 20Gbps whereas the new Mini 3 was much slower, only 5Gbps.  Both my phones are also on Verizon and they gave me speed numbers like the Gen 1 mini.
    So why would the new Mini 3 be so much slower when uploading, and why would the signal strength be so much weaker?  I must add that the Verizon tower I connect through is line-of-sight about 1/4 mile away on the hill behind my house.  I should have full signal strength on any device.
    Getting technical here, all I can think of is that the two iPads are operating on different LTE frequency bands and not connecting through the same tower.  The iPad Mini Gen 1 can only operate on Verizon's 700MHz LTE which is band 13.  The new iPad Mini 3 can operate on either LTE band 13 or the new 1700MHz band 4.  The new 1700MHz band is now being used to alleviate congestion on the old 700MHz band.  Perhaps since my device is one of the few that can operate on the new 1700 MHz frequencies, Verizon is forcing my device to use that band?  Maybe that could account for the upload speed difference between the two devices?

    I find it interesting to hear that  the new Mini 3 has this issue. I purchased two iPhone 6 pluses and activated them both around the 1st of October.. Both 6's are upgrades from 5's. I have been going round and round with both Verizon TSS and AppleCare Senior Tech Support about having 100's of dropped calls, weaker signal strength than my iphone 5's and the iphone 6's tendency to grab 3G service when both iPhone 5's  have solid LTE service. Apple engineers have had me jump through many redundant hoops including multiple restores, network resets, setting the phone up as new, having Verizon reprovision the line, I have even had one iPhone 6 replaced and tried three SIM cards. Things I have figured out on my own are that toggling Airplane Mode on/off usually makes the iPhone 6 switch back to LTE (But only for a little while. And doing this also temporily increases LTE signal strength when LTE is on 1 dot.) and as you suspect about your Mini 3 I have confirmed that the iPhone 6 Plus is almost always on Band 4 (XLTE Band) (The iPhone 6 does sometimes switch to Band 13. The iPhone 5 only supports Band 13 and therefore is always on that band).  Something to note about Band 4 vs. Band 13 is that there are two important differences in these bands. Band 4 has double the bandwidth of band 13 (20Mhz vs. 10MHz). Band 4 operates in the 1700 MHz frequency range and Band 13 operates in the 700 Mhz frequency range. One pitfall of Band 4 being in the 1700Mhz range is that the signal can travel less distance than Band 13 can in the lower 700 MHz range. Being that Band 4 has less reach it leads me to conclude that is the reason why I am seeing less signal strength on the iPhone 6 Plus (And you on the Mini 3).
    **The way I finally figured out how to determine the band the iPhone's are using I found searching the web for peole experiencing my issues. Verizon could not tell me what band I was using, even when I was on the phone with them. On the iPhone there is a sequence of numbers, pound signs and asterisks that you enter in the dialer and press send. This brings up a field test that tells you many things about your network/carrier service (Many things which are Greek to me, as I am not a cellular engineer). Using this field test I have driven hundreds of miles watching what band I am on and my signal strength ( In what I assume is decibels). All that I have learned has yet to assist me in having Apple or Verizon resolve my issues.

  • My iPad first gen (iOS5.1.1) won't connect to my home WiFi suddenly. It's worked fine for years but just stopped. All other devices do connect to the WiFi. Now, the iPad does connect to the WiFi at my workplace. Ideas on this?

    My iPad (first generation iOS5.1.1.1) quit connecting to my home WiFi recently after years of being able to. All other devices in my home connect fine. I have taken every step I can find to try and remedy things including restoring my iPad to factory settings. Still nothing - when it tries to connect to my network it just spins. I took my iPad to work and it connected to the WiFi there just fine. Came back home, no good. After talking with my local Mac supplier they've suggested that maybe my router is the cause. I've unplugged it several times for lengths of up to an hour but that still isn't getting things working again. Any ideas?

    Some things to try first:
    1. 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.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. 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
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    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

  • Why can't I use iPad first gen with iMovie?

    Why can't I use iMovie with the first gen iPad? 

    It does not have a camera.
    iMovie iOS is made to edit video recorded on the device.
    Some also suggest that the processor is not fast enough.
    I doubt it, but those are the best suggestions I have heard.

    Any suggestions ?

    did you google "ipad 1 cases"? i found plenty.

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • IPad (first gen) wont turn on

    Hi. I got an 32 gb wifi only ipad (1st gen) recently. I had taken really, really good care of it and never dropped it or got it wet or anything. Yesterday I set it down for about 20 minutes. When I came back it had turned off and would not turn back on when I pressed the power button. After a quick search on the internet I found something that said holding home + power for 10 seconds would do the trick. I did that and the iPad turned back on and all my stuff was still on it.
    Does anybody know what causes this or how I can prevent it from happening again? Is this a normal thing or should I get a new iPad? And what did holding the two buttons like that actually do? I researched a bit online and I cant seem to figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated

    Apple recommends this particular fix if the iPad does not respond, turn on, goes a little haywire. It's merely rebooting the device and clearing the memory. It's not a problem at all unless you have to resort to the "hard reset" as it is called on a daily basis in order to get it to work properly. If you have to do it every day, then there probably is an underlying problem.
    IMHO - with all the hype about the incredible battery life, I think users don't turn their iPads off on a regular basis and they just let their devices go to sleep and then use it maybe for several days, until it needs a charge. They plug in the charger, let it sleep, get back up to full charge and start the whole cycle again.
    Rebooting every few days - again - IMHO - is a good idea.
