Streaming on ipad 2 slow and fAils

Hi all,
So my ipad 2 is not even a year old and for the first 6 months streaming was marvellous then it started to really slow to the point that it didn't load at all so I couldn't even watch any videos, including YouTube. I switched my router to the most modern 3 weeks ago. For the first few days streaming was wonderful again but now it's the same. Doesn't load = can't watch. I've tried going to the apple shop with it but they never give appointments on the spot and the appointment times they do have I've been unable to take.
Getting seriously frustrated now. This also happens on my iPhone 4 by the way, BUT not n my Sony vaio laptop which streams well all the time.
Please any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Sara

Hi Beau59,
If you haven't already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPad:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Restarting your iOS device
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPad using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPad first.

After installing IOS5 my iPad runs slower and crashes often when I have safari or any application opened. Is apple working on fixing this issue? is it happening to most of you or just me?

I appreciate any information you can provide. Using this device is getting annoying !

I'm using mine right now to answer you and I've not had the issues you are having. Have you tried a Restore from Backup?

Face time rings once from ipad to mac and fails?

i try call my mac from ipad and facetime rings and fails immediately? how can i get facetime to work from mac to ipad or ipad to mac ?? same apple id on both

You must have a separate, individual e-mail address assigned to each device. if you use the same e-mail address, they will not be able to communicate with each other. It's like picking up your telephone and dialing your own number, you'd get a busy signal.

IPad 2 and iPad Mini Slow and Buggy after iOS8 "Fix"

After living with an EXCEPTIONALLY slow and buggy iPad Mini (1st gen, still available from Apple Store, BTW) since iOS8 was released, I discovered something...
Deleting the Facebook App and the Facebook Messenger App - AND THEN REBOOTING THE iPAD - makes a DRAMATIC difference in performance of the entire iPad...
Once deleted and rebooted, you'll be able to:
1. Cut, copy and paste work again
2. Say goodbye to those long periods waiting for apps to load, crash and reload
3. Run faster and much more reliably
I have NO idea why FB and iOS 8 on older devices is a problem at the system level, but I have found that it DEFINITELY is. All it takes is running FB once on a freshly booted iPad and the problems begin.
I deleted those after trying every fix every person on the discussion board suggested (settings, resetting networks, etc) and it's been several days of an iPad running the way it did under iOS7.
SO...don't shoot the messenger. While this isn't a permanent 'fix', it DOES fix the iPad/iOS8 problems except for the fact that you'll need to use FB from Safari or a browser until they sort it out.
Again, these are my findings. I'd love to see if others experience the same thing... If this doesn't work for you, you can always reinstall FB.

I too am having a similar issue though most of it is with browsing on Safari. That is the load speed of pages became 1990s dailup slow. I believe it has to do with memory, or lack thereof. Something in iOS8 is chugging the system and slowing everything down. I don't know of any solutions. Very frustrating.

IPad 2 slow and choppy video streaming and buffering- help!

My new iPad 2 is taking forever to play videos on you tube, email, anywhere. Unusable basically. I changed the DNS to 208 but that didn't help. Every other Mac device works fine, including my iPad 1- I have a 64 wi-fi + AT & T 3G original and 2-is this a lemon machine or is Apple doing something about this because it's happening to many? Any solutions or input appreciated.

Hi Joni S,
how do I find out what version of Adobe Flash Player I have?
To find the version double click your HD icon. When it opens select your HD and then in the resulting finder window search for "flash" (no quotes). In the resulting list look for FlashPlayer.plugin. Click on it once to highlight and then do a Get Info command + i or from the File Menu>Get Info. In the resulting pane look for the version. The latest for 10.3.9 is Adobe Flash Player 9.0.
hope that helps,

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

BB curve 9320 downloading extremely slow and fails

I previously had a bb curve 8520 and recently upgraded to the curve 9320.
I have noticed that the 9320 is downloading a lot slower than the 8520 and now the downloads fail as well.
I was just wondering what i possibly do to solve these problems?

maybe network problem, check/call your local carrier...
Please give me +like, very helpful for me

File Manager slow and fails

STA100-3 10.2.1.2991 I notice that sometimes the File Manager is slow or does seem to work. In particular, SMS Backup app (which has worked for over a year) has started to fail when it calls the File Manager. The app developer doesn't see this, but functionally when the app calls the File Manager the screen dims for a while and then nothing. I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and mutilple reboots in the process to make sure memory is max and still have an issue. Also, when I try to add photos etc in email or FB it sometimes fails to bring up the File Manager to select attachments/photos.

With my recent update to VZW's 10.3.2.858 this issue is resolved. Must have been a corrupt OS file issue.

IPad is slow and crashes

iPad has become so slow loading and often crashes. What gives?

Just to expound on the suggestion above with a bit more detail .... First quit/close all apps in the task bar.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Now - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
See if that makes any difference at all. If it helps, make note of what apps happen to be in the task bar or that you have recently been using if the iPad starts getting sluggish again. You might have an app that is causing a problem.
If Safari is crashing on you with regularity, try clearing it and restart your iPad. See if that helps.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

IPad really slow and can't load web pages

I tried to ask this question from my iPad mini, but it was not possible to type in this field, so apparently support is another page that I can't load. Suddenly iPad won't load web pages, and is really slow...I already cleared safari cache and history...what now? have not updated to ios8.

Hello LizBMac,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your Wi-Fi network is loading images slowly, then I recommend that you follow the information in the article linked to below.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
Take care,

SQL Azure sync service-- absurdly slow and fails after a few days

Hello. We have been trying to use Azure Data Sync to replicate an on-premise MSSQL database to an SQL Azure database for read-only access by a customer. This was working for a while, but stopped syncing after a couple months(12hr auto-sync schedule) with
no errors in the log. I had to re-create the sync group, but now it takes even longer than originally to try to sync, and never actually completes, as it gets interrupted by bi-weekly server restarts... It used to take a few hours to sync the new data in our
database(which is appended to daily)-- but this time it fails after 4+ days... It was unacceptably slow initially(IMO), but now it's clearly unusable. The original initialization of the data when I first set it up was less than 2 days of syncing.
It seems there is a throttle on the Azure sync service. Is this true? Would it be best to clear the SQL Azure database now and re-sync? Is there a way to pre-load the SQL Azure database with MSSQL on-premise data via a SQL backup file or something?
Please advise. Thank you.

when you re-created the sync group, does the member databases/hub database have pre-existing data?
when synching a sync group for the first time, make sure databases don't contain the same set of data, otherwise, you will run into conflicts which will completely slow down your sync...
I deleted the initial sync group because it wasn't syncing(auto or on-demand), nor creating a log entry with an error indicating why.
So, I simply deleted the sync group and re-created it with the same exact databases and settings. I did not delete all data in the SQL Azure database-- I was under the assumption that the sync service, with the tracking tables were smart enough to not get
confused with pre-existing data, but apparently that's not how this works?
I obviously can't delete the data in the source database(MSSQL on-premise), but I could delete the tables in the SQL Azure database if that's supposed to fix the problem-- then we'll just have to wait multiple days for it to be completely re-initialized,
hopefully without error... Is there a way to seed the data in some way to prevent this extremely log first sync?
Thank you for your help.

IMac Losing Bluetooth and then becomes slow, and fails to shut down without holding the button. Happens 3 times a day randomly.

Hey guys,
Hope you are having a good day!
My IMac 3.1Ghz Intel Core I5, 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 memory running OSX 10.9.2 is having serious issues.
About 3 times per day sporadically it loses connectivity to the bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and is irrecoverable (I have tried everything, and it is not trying to connect to another device - e.g. IPAD).
When this happens, I am usually using an audio program (e.g. Logic Pro X, or Ableton Live), and when sound is playing, the event stops the sound altogether as well.
If I then hold the power button, the message asking if I want to shutdown or restart comes up, and the system appears responsive. However, there is no way for me to select anything because of the keyboard and mouse being down.
However, I jumped the gun and got a free IPAD app. that gives me limited control with a keyboard and mouse on there, enough that I am able to select to shut the computer down.
When this happens, the computer takes 5-10 minutes to force quit all active applications (e.g. logic pro, active audio interface program RME totalmix, etc.). When it finally, finally quits everything, and attempts to shutdown, it takes a very long time and gets stuck on a white screen. When it gets there the computer stops making noise altogether but has not properly shutdown yet, so it appears some sort of system failure is taking place.
It is really frustrating that this is happening, and I really hope my computer isn't broken. I would really appreciate any help or advice provided.
Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!

Ipad 3 slow and lagging after update

HI.
MY ipad I used to love ...it worked nice without problems but now I have many issues that make me furious.
there re is a constant lag....even in typing this message the iPad cannot keep up....applications freeze....and the entire OS needs to constantly be rebooted....
what at is going on? Is it the update I was stupid enough to install?
can apple support help me return this iPad 3 back to functional?
the ipad has not been abused , dropped etc.
help! I need this iPad to function properly .
kickstopped

I have two ipads on ios 8.1.3 so the issue isn't the software.
do a reset, hold down the h home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release. IF that doesn't work - then go to settings - general - reset - reset network settings - you will need to reenter known wifi password.
if that doesn't work then do this Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

IPad Safari slow and freezing

My iPad constantly freezes on sites like eBay - will not play cNet video etc. What's up? we have no flash, and the alternative doesn't work either????
Please don't tell me to disable javascript, eBAy is useless with out it, and OS X is meant to support it.

It isnt a local network problem. I have used it on several networks, the same issue occurs. This is a wide spread issue if you look at these forums. I just went back to the ipad after leaving the iphone over a year ago, and the same issues dont seem to have been solved, just ignored by the user base.
I saw one guy suggest that you just avoid sites that make it crash and send a mail to the website telling them to correct the error if they want ipad users. That has to be the most arrogant and stupid comment I have ever read. Yes, eBay will change their site forthe hundreds of millions of users on browsers that work so that Safari on the ipad is useable. Jesus. Talk about the blinkers on.
Internet in my hand? I hope someone else comes out with a tablet soon, I will be jumping ship. I like the form factor, but Safari and the lack of flash *****. Hurry up HP.
Irony is I cant even use my bloody iPad to list it on eBay. Its a good device, but far too many flaws.
