Slow www browsing using Safari on the Ipad

Hi,
After getting my ipad and being very excited with it, I am now wondering just what I want to do with it. Browsing the internet is like sitting down at with a legacy device and trying to visit modern web pages. My windows Atom net-book can run circles around it, and it's over a year old . . .
This is very disappointing. I can only hope Apple takes notice and has a patch solution.
But if I have to hope every web site has to make and app version of their site (e.g., Facebook app), and then have to purchase and install -- no way!
I hope all that is needed is some cleaner iOS. That or apple just should consider putting a intel dual into this device . . .
I've tried looking at some of the other post, and there are some similar issues. Anyway, I'm looking for input and want to know if I got this right . . . that it is indeed slow and there is no fix at this moment?
Let me know and thanks for reading!
Lincoln
PS, this was NOT sent from my ipad . . .

It's rather hard to imagine that about 9,000,000 iPads would have been sold to date if there were problems surfing the Internet with the device. I've had no problems with iPad performance visiting a wide variety of websites.
Perhaps you have some problem in your wireless network or with your ISP which is causing your problem.
Site-specific iPad Apps like Photobucket, CBS News, ABC Player, etc. are generally free and, if you want them, installation is not a problem.
If you are using the iPad forum as a source for positive comments on the iPad you will, of course, be disappointed since, generally, only problems are posted here. The vast majority of happy iPad users probably don't even know this forum exists.
Since you don't give any detail on what web sites you are talking about or exactly what your performance issues are it's hard to comment further.

  • Using Safari on the iPad unsupported mode with R17

    I have a customer that just purchased iPad's for their sales force and they are trying to use the "Safari" or "Private Browser" in an unsupported mode. They have turned off the message center, but when they try and login after clicking through the unsupported browser message they receive the following error:
    Occam Browser Update Servlet: Uncaught exception: and uncaught exception has occurred while attempting to render the page. Please try again later or contact Customer Care for more information.
    I know we have customers and internal sales consultants that have CRM OD working on the iPad with the message center turned off. Has anyone seen this error when attempting to login with the iPad or iPhone?
    Thanks for your help!

    Support for CRM On Demand using Safari on the iPad will be available in R19.

    At this time it cannot. Perhaps you can provide feedback to Apple on this.

  • Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color

    Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color after I close the tab, put the iPad in sleep mode (or whatever it's called), or when I power off the iPad.
    There are certain sites I visit where it comes in very handy to be able to see which links I've already clicked on. The links will stay the "visited" color during the time I'm on the site, but later they all go back to the "unvisited" color.
    Is there any way I can fix this on an iPad?

    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.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Why does safari show the last used page when the Ipad is turned on again

    Why does Safari show the last used page when the IPad is next used?

  • The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

    The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

    There are several other similar posts in this forum with the answers. Your post appears third in my Google search today looking for a solution so I thought I'd add the solution here as well.
    It is obviously a bug in either (or both) Firefox and the NYT.
    The quickest solution is to simply go to the VIEW Menu in Firefox, then the ZOOM option and choose RESET.
    I use Mac and this happens in Firefox 3.6.10. It does not happen in other browsers like Safari, Chrome and Camino, and it did not occur before last week.
    It has also occurred in the iOS version of Safari on iPad. Not sure how to fix it there.

  • How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

    How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

    This is what I was told:
    Double tap the home key...press and hold the icon...when the minus appears on the icon, tap the minus.
    This will delete the aforementioned icon from the task bar. When the icon disappears, the browser, or any app, is then closed.
    Is that correct?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • When I use Safari on my iPad 1/4 of the left side of the screen is grey. It seeme devoted to "shared links", "reading list", or "History". I would like to get rid of that. How can I do it?

    When I use Safari on my iPad 2, more than 1/4 of the left side of the screen is used for "shared links", "reading list", or "History". I would like to hide that. How do I do that?

    Tap the Book icon seen left of the address box.
    Best.

  • It is very difficult to navigate on facebook via safari. The IPAD does not allow other browsers to download and use it almost prevents the facebook app and the lack of scrolling the page.

    It is very difficult to navigate on facebook via safari. The IPAD does not allow other browsers to download and use it almost prevents the facebook app and the lack of scrolling the page.

    I also have problems with Facebook on my iPad 2. I don't do a lot with Facebook and generally only post on my feed page. Sometimes hitting return on the keyboard enters the comment, sometimes not. Sometimes the comment will show on my iPad but if I revisit that page I find that the comment has disappeared. So I'd say that Facebook and my iPad are not totally compatible with each other.
    I looked into Friendly and was about to purchase this free ap. But before I did I went to the Friendly web page for more info. There I found a page with users comments. One after another users complained about bugs with Friendly. The developers claimed a fix was coming but the user comments complained about the lack of response and support. One of the fixes suggested by the developers was to log out of Friendly then log back in. One user complained that doing this three times in ten minutes was not very helpful. Because of this I decided to avoid Friendly.
    I did find a Facebook developed ap but it was for the iPhone. I presume that iPhone aps will work on the iPad but I'll wait until Facebook releases an iPad compatible ap. If there is an ap developed by Facebook for the iPad that I missed please let me know.

  • Ever since I upgradeHd to the new software, nothing works like it used to. The iPad is slow, the calendars appear and disappear andi have to re- sync. Does any one knows if a patch is on thevworks?

    Back up your iPad. Then restore the iPad to the original factory settings. Then restore from your backup. Things should improve for you.

  • Will Apple be adding 3D tabs in Safari on the ipad 3? I am not crazy about how it's set up to use right now and would think if they put it on the iPhone they would on the ipad also.

    Has anyone heard if Apple will be adding 3D Tabs in Safari on the iPad 3? I am not crazy about the way it is set up right now.

    No.

  • A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded this is popping up when I use any forum using safari on my iPad and this is happening ever since I haven installed iOS 8 I have tried to reset all setting

    A Problem occured with this webpage so it was reloaded this is popping up when I open any forum using safari on my iPad mini this is been happening ever since I have downloaded iOS 8 I tried to reset all the settings and reset network settings but nothing helped please if anyone can help me .

    Its not necessarily freezing - just being slow to build.
    May have something to do with this being a secured site - I an giving Opera a test run & this part of the apple site does not go into compressed load - but the non-secure parts of the site do.  The issue may be that some sites like apples just have too much unimportant junk on the screen because the designers are on an internal network a few offices away from the server and never see all the issues that com up.

  • Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad? Anyone have a fix? Have also created a dropdown menu, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

    Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad as they will in excel? Anyone have a fix? I have also created a dropdown menu in excel, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

    Glad you got it sorted out.
