Slow wifi on iPad Air after converting to iOS8

I am experiencing painfully slow wifi response on my iPad Air after converting to iOS8. I tried disabling the WiFi Networking setting under System Services and even did a "Reset Network Settings". All to no avail.

I changed the DNS settings on the iPad Air Wi-Fi settings to Google DNS 8.8.8.8
It helped but this morning I've noticed Safari webpage not opening...

Wifi dropping on iPad Air after iOS8 update

SInce updating to iOS8 my wifi on iPad Air is persistently dropping (using all apps. Restarts and power offs are needed. This is extremely annoying. Anyone else with same issue?

Go to Settings
then Cellular
you will see Cellular data network
there, you will see the option for Cellular data APN User name and password
then
LTE setup(optional) : APN User name and password
MMS:APN User name and password
But all the way down you will see the option for Personal hotspot...
there you have to put APN if you know the APN for your carrier
then go back to cellular again and wait for sometime.
you will surely get Hotspot option.

Clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Smart Cover for some time

I have read that many people experience clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Apple Smart Cover for some time.
I experienced the same thing and returned the device to the shop where i bought it, while still having the warranty.
They wrote me after 11 days of having my iPad that it is fixed and i can come for it, i was not yet there.
Please tell me, how can i realize that they warranty serviced my iPad?
I have read that many people get new device with same issue, and mine just got fixed somehow...
It is not Apple Store it is Apple Premium Reseller, was their service OK or they just did not wanted to give me new device?
How can i get to know they were acting correctly?
Thanks for the answer

Everything is OK, they gave my whole new iPad Air

Can I tether my iphone to a wifi only iPad Air?

I can tehter my iPhone to my original iPad which was both wifi and 3G. I am thinking of buying an iPad Air. Could I tether my iPhone to a wifi only iPad Air? Or do I need to buy one with 3/4G capability?

If by tether you mean use your iPad's Wifi only internet connection on your Phone then no.
If by tether you mean use your Phone's cellular internet connection on your Wifi only iPad then yes.
The iPad does not need to be Cellular. If it is a cellular model it can share out its own internet connection, and would be redundant to connect to the phone to get an internet connection if it can already do so on its own through its own cellular connection.
If you want to allow your Wifi only iPad to use your Phone's cellular internet connection then yes it can be done on a Wifi only iPad.
Basically a cellular iDevice can share its cellular internet connection out to any Wifi device. A Wifi only device cannot share its internet connection.

Ipad air after installing 8.2 don't turn on

ipad air after installing 8.2 don't turn on,reboot does not help

Hey marcdmitriev,
Sorry to hear about your iPad not turning back on. To get you started with troubleshooting take a look at the article below. You will not have to do all of the steps but it has a great information on how to get it back up. If you are still stuck then you will need to contact Apple for additional support.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on

Punctuation would make your post a little easier to read and understand.
What do you mean it won't hook up to iTunes? you mean iTunes does not recognize the device? If that's what you mean, one of these might be helpful.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Wifi and cellular dropping out on iPad air after iOS 8.02 update

Hi
I have recently updated my iPad air to 8.02 and ended up getting problems with wifi and cellular data being very sporadic at best. Took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced it thinking it was a hardware problem. Turns out it is not as it updated again and it is once again sporadic. I tend to find turning it off helps temporarily but always cuts out and needs to be put into airplane mode to reset the connection. Is anyone else having this problem....this is the 3 rd time I have tried to post this as it has cut out and the connection has been lost each time.
I did speak to a customer service advisor over the phone and she thought it may have been wifi and cellular competing but I have turned mobile data off and it is as bad as ever if not worse.

This is getting ridiculous. How long does it take to properly fix this issue. I have ipad air running IOS 8.02. I keep dropping wifi signal regularly throughout the day. I have tried everything to try and improve my connection but nothing has worked. Other products not running IOS 8.20 have a perfect sustained connection to my wifi so the firmware is definitely the issue. When are apple going to acknowledge and fix this issue that is affecting so many.
Roll on June because I'm done with Apple once and for all after many many years. No more iphone for me. Hopefully then I can receive calls without them going straight to voicemail, recieve texts quicker than an 8 hour delay and get voicemails quicker than 2 weeks later. Complete shambles and very poor customer service. Goodness only knows what those who rely on their phone/ipad for work are doing.

IPad Air after upgrade to ios 8 continue to drop WiFi connection

On September 19, I upgrade my ipad air to ios 8, and it had been dropping Wifi connection ever since. I was browsing using Chrome and next thing the browser hang up; then error message informed me to no network connection. By the way, my network was strong (5 bars), because I was streaming to my Roku in HD without any issues. At the same time, my Airplay do not want to stream the content in full screen either. It only mirror what have see on my ipad, not allow me to go full screen on TV. I hoped Apple will step up and correct this issue as soon as possible; I miss the good old day of reliable upgrade from Apple.

Yes, and hopeful 8.1.1 will help. It's supposedly in beta testing.

Wifi issues on iphone 6 and ipad air after update

I updated my Iphone 6 128gb and IPad Air 64gb to the ios 8.1.1.
Every few days the wifi connection and data cellular is lost. I have to constantly reboot my phone and ipad.
Is there a fix for this? Will Apple address this with the next update?

yeah, sit there and pout.
Are you looking for help here? Maybe you can tell us the troubleshooting steps you've taken (such as the usual ones recommended in the User Guide).

IOS 8.1 Affects WiFi on iPad Air - can't downgrade

Hello all,
I just got a warranty replacement iPad Air the other day that came with iOS 7.1.2 on it - worked well, but, of course, I was pressured to update to iOS 8.1. After doing so, on a "brand new" iPad (did not restore from backup), I've noticed that all the apps I use to stream video, whether it's cable TV over WiFi (via InstaTV Pro), streaming video from my desktop (via Air Video HD), Netflix, or Amazon Prime, I've noticed a significant amount of stuttering, re-buffering, and other anomalies that didn't occur on iOS 7.x.x. This is about as pristine as an iPad can get - I guess maybe I should not do an in-place upgrade and just do a "clean/tethered install" via iTunes? I was worried of exactly this happening, after prior reports that iOS 8 messed with WiFi.
I'm aware Apple stopped signing iOS 7, so I can't downgrade, but... what gives? Do I need to ask for another replacement iPad and just not upgrade to iOS 8? I've had similar WiFi problems on my iPhone 5s after upgrading as well - my daily routine doesn't change much, so when things that used to work flawlessly now consistently produce errors, I start to wonder.
I'm also super-frustrated because the current vertical integration platform that Apple offers has gotten *more* buggy with the new releases of everything, not less. After the 11th version of iTunes, 5th version of iPad, and 8th major version of iOS, it's simply unacceptable.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer - I'm a geek, so if I need to get my hands dirty to fix this, I'd be much obliged
Thanks so much!

Slow wifi speeds ipad 4th generation

I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone which are getting the best speeds possible for them. My router is a virgin super hub which I know are notoriously pants but I've tweaked all the settings and got it running fine. Ipad download speeds are never better than 16mb/s and I have a 60mb/s download. Is this a hardware issue or is there something I can do?

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

Cannot play videos in my iPad Air after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2

Hello there,
After upgrading my iPad Air to iOS 8.0.2 I can no longer play videos in any application, not even in Apple's stock apps.
Is anybody else experimenting this issue?

(A) Try reset iPad
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
3. Preview will fly off the screen.

Bought my wife an iPad Air, and signed her up to a new Apple ID. It appears that her ID hijacked my account and I cannot use my Apple ID anymore. Told it does not exist.

So I am pretty upset with the apparent overwrite of a new Apple ID over my 5 years of using a different account. Now I cannot locate my old Apple ID and all my old info is now usurped by my wife's new Apple ID.
I have had my iPhone, iPad, my wife's iPhone and my daughter's iPod on my account for quite awhile. Thought it would be a smart move to sign my wife up to her own account with a new iPad Air. As she started using it she noticed that all my music, contacts and info was on her new iPad. At the same time my iPad kicked me out of a program I was in while telling me I needed to sign back in (to my old account ID). Apple ID no longer recognizes my old account and I have no idea how this process even started as it seemed harmless enough and simple enough to set up. I am highly frustrated and welcome any attempt to help me out of this conundrum.

I can understand how that would be frustrating. If you created a brand new Apple ID for her, your Apple ID should not have been affected any more than anyone else's. They are as separate from one another as your Apple ID is from mine.
Since you just bought your MacBook Air, you can certainly contact AppleCare for this, and I encourage you to do so. They will straighten it out.
Until then, if you want to troubleshoot this on your own, sign in to your Apple ID here:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue "Manage your Apple ID" button. If it says it no longer exists or gives you other hassles, it's probably not worth your effort to pursue. Have Apple fix it.
Contact Apple starting with this link - never Google it: http://www.apple.com/support/
Navigate the pages as follows:
Under "Contact Us" click the blue "Contact Support" link
Click the blue "Get Started" button
Click "More Products & Services"
Click "Apple ID"
Click "iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store"
Continue with the appropriate options and choose the contact method most convenient for you.
