Why has ibooks slowed down on my iPad 2 since the iOS 8 download?

SInce my iOS 8 download on my iPad 2 device, the system drags through every move. Pages turn slowly, highlighting drags through the process, etc. it was very good before the download. My wife who has an Ipad 2 along with many other friends are having the same issue with ibooks. Can we expect a fix soon?

I have the exact same problem on my iPad mini. There is so much lag in iBooks after the iOS 8 upgrade that it's barely tolerable. It used to be that pages turned smoothly, books opened & closed smoothly, etc., but not anymore. I often find myself flipping accidentally through several pages because there is such a slow response time to my taps for advancing pages. In other words, I'll tap the screen to turn a page, nothing happens, so I tap again, & then suddenly iBooks will finally respond and 2 or 3 pages will flip. It's extremely frustrating.
Their is also some other general glitchiness (for lack of a better) word that I've been experiencing, but I'll try to observe it a little longer so I can better define what's happening.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

You are in the Mavericks forum. You need to ask in the IOS 8 forum.

I can't connect to iCloud since the iOS 7 update - on either my iPhone or iPad!

PLEASE HELP!!!! I can't access iCloud on my iPhone OR iPad since the iOS 7 update! It asks me to sign in, displays an old email address I don't use anymore and won't give me the option to CHANGE the email address - so OF COURSE my password is going to be wrong!

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your current password. Turn it off on both of your devices, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?

Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?

Do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the ipad to boot back up.
If that doesn't help - settings - general - reset - reset network settings - no data loss, however you will need to reenter known wifi passwords.

IOS 5 slowing down first-gen iPad? FIFA12

Hey guys and girls.
I'm relatively happy with iOS5 on my first gen ipad. Split keyboard is nice, iMessages too. But I've noticed one issue which is getting annoying. I recently got the FIFA12 game by EA and it ran very well. But after upgrading to iOS5, it is getting considerably slower on graphic-heavy situations. Like stadium lights and shadows at the end of the field.
Has anyone else noticed iOS5 slowing down first generation iPads? Not only talking about FIFA 12 but maybe other games and apps as well?

Hey Guys,
I know this may not solve you're problems or make me all that popular, but 1), you gotta give the developers a bit of time to update and 2), what you are experiencing is common with first adopters. On older devices it makes a lot of sense to wait until the first update. By then you will know the issues and any Apple fixes.

URGENT!- ibook slowing down, NEED HELP BADLY

Good day.
When I bought my ibook, i upgraded the RAM of this right away. i added a 512MB RAM. I was happy with the way it was performing. After a few months, i decided to buy an externat 40GB hard drive because i found the internal hard drive too small and love downloading song and shows over the internet. after a few months, i noticed that my ibook slowed down. before, the "beachball " would seldom appear. now it appears alot. i just noticed that my ibook has really slowed down. i admit, i download a lot. but all these downloads go straight to the external hard drive. the files that i save in the internal hard drive are only excel, word, and pwerpoint files. very small. anyone can help me? is there something that i can use to speed up my ibooks performance? what should i do? is there such a thing as defragment (just like the one of a pc).

Hi Michaelgnm,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try verifying and repairing permissions (Knowledge Base Document #106712 on Troubleshooting permissions issues in Mac OS X). Do you notice you slow during certain times. An example would be working an file from your external hard or using iPhoto. How much hard drive space do you have on your internal hard drive? You may want try deleting programs that you don't use (on my iBook I don't use Garage Band, iDVD, etc). Maybe freeing up some space can help speed things up.
A great program to show you exactly what is on your computer is WhatSize.
If you are going to use WhatSize to delete any files/programs/applications, please be careful and make sure you know exactly what you are deleting and if there are any repercussions. WhatSize will show you files that you would not normally see; they are referred to as "invisible files". These invisible files are hidden from the users view because they would clutter the desktop and they hold vital information that if corrupted or deleted may cause problems. Please make sure you know what you are doing!
Have you deleted files that you don't use; like for my iBook, GarageBand. I use GarageBand on my iMac because it is much easier and faster, so I deleted it on my iBook. Have you tried the "erase install method"? The reason for doing this is because Mac OS X installs all the necessary fonts, languages, drivers, etc that people all over the world my need, by default. This tends to take up some room that you might want to get rid of (make sure first what you don't need and need). You erase and install your system software (Knowledge Base Document 301270 About Install Options w/ Mac OS X 10.4), and when installing, do a custom install. This way you can install the languages, drivers, and applications you want. The same technique can be done with iLife.
Do you using any "pro" applications (Adobe Photo CS, Aperture, etc)? You may want to try using a program like OnyX to run some maintenance scripts.
I hope that helps,
Jon

IBook slowing down...

for some reason over the past week or so, my iBook has been slowing down, taking more and more time to do things (even the simple ones, suchas open finder...)
This pretty much all started when updated to 10.4.4, updated itunes and so on, and installed Google earth (love this thing i have to say!! ;)) Anyway, repaired permissions a couple of times, ran MacJanitor, am only using 70% of my 60Gb, have 512Mb of RAM..., and checked the CPU usage, and nothing is "pumping" all of the power... it should all run fine. but the spinning wheel appears more and more, and it's getting on my nerves!... Any ideas on what i should/could do to get it running smoothly again?
Thanx in advance
Charles

boy you were fast on this one, as you advised i downloaded cocktail, and did what you advised. I also verified my disc and here is what i got (sorry it's in french... don't know if you'll understand)
Vérification du volume “Mac de Charles”
Vérification du volume HFS Plus.
Vérification du fichier des excès de données de blocs.
Vérification du catalogue.

The last sentence is "the disk needs to be repaired", and a few lines above it says minor reparations...
Now i'd be glad to do so, but of course i left my cds in paris, i am now in Boston, so any idea on how i could do this, it does not seem too bad, but i'd like to get it right
Thanx for being soooooooo quick

Hi erastyle,
Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
Windows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.

Please let us know if it helps.

Hi Arianelleangel,
Welcome to the Support Communities! If you are having issues trying to update your Aunt's iPad, the troubleshooting steps below may help:
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update - Apple Support
Update does not complete
If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.
I hope this information helps ....

How can I stop the loading of "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox?", which has greatly slowed down the startup of Firefox.

Firefox used to start up fairly quickly, but now it loads an additional more complicated tab, which has greatly slowed down the start up process. How can I eliminate the loading of this time waster?

Why has maverick bogged down my iMac 21.5 with 16gb Ram to a snail mode I looking going back to OSX Mountain Lion, Why has maverick bogged down my iMac 21.5 with 16gb Ram to a snail mode I looking going back to OSX Mountain Lion

did the update to Maverick from OSX ML and boy has it slowed down my whole computer big time, what a mistake to have done this..... the whole computer has dramattically slowed, I thought Apple advertised be faster and slicker and better use of resources and I got 16gb Ram and 500gb HDD and 3.6 ghz processor, OSX Lion was snappier than this what a big mistake since this was installed.
Thanks god I did a disk image of the machine before I did it Ill go back and stay with OSX ML until Apple sorts problems I see many issues has risen and also Mail is playing up big time so who screwed that up?

Check your Activity Monitor to identify what might be slowing your system. Mavericks is as fast, if not faster, as Mountain Lion for me and I'm using a 2009 MacMini with 8 Gigs of RAM.
