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 iOS 8.1 Update

    Currently in Europe. Just updated phone and iPad to iOS 8.1. Phone updated without a hitch, but iPad will only boot to a screen that indicates it should be plugged into iTunes. WTH?  Will not be anywhere near my iTunes, in the U.S. for at least 2 months, if not longer. Is my iPad nothing but a useless brick from here on out?  What good is it and what am I supposed to use?  Ugh. Couldn't find any answers that didn't involve plugging it into iTunes. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Sorry, your ipad is in recovery mode - If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support  the only way to get out of it is to restore your ipad using iTunes, there is no other way around it.

  • ITunes logo and usb cord showing on iPad 2 after iOS 8.02 update

    I updated my iPad 2 last night with ios8.02.   Immediately after the update, my iPad was frozen with the iTunes logo and power cord.  When I conned to iTunes, the error message says my iPad is set to recovery mode and when selecting the option to restore, the message "Are you sure you want to restore the iPad “iPad” to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased, and the newest version of the iPad software will be installed" appears. 
    Well, I obviously do not want to lose the last photos of my mother who passed away on July 1st, not to mention the countless things included in the full 64 GB hard drive, so I called Apple support. Their advice was to restore and hope iCloud backup has the data.
    I'm on hold right now waiting for a "Senior Advisor" to provide a solution.  I have been on hold for 49 min 58 seconds.
    Does anyone have a fixe to this un-vetted upgrade release gaff? Whoever authorized this release needs to leave Apple and apply for a job selling popcorn with the LA Clippers.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem for the past 24 hours.
    I found the below advice resolved my problem completely.
    Basically, rebooted mbp, restored iPad from previous back up = iPad 3 back to normal.
    Phew...that was a tad frightening !
    Hope it helps you....
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod

  • Since iOS 8 came out, my iPad Air with iOS 7.1.2 is slow on wifi searches. Is this the way to for me to update? After reading the common threads, I do not want to upgrade yet. Is there another solution?

    What is wrong with this picture? We are forced to vent on forums and rely on other users to find answers to our problems. Obviously, after reading other posts, we all suffer from poor quality controls before release of upgrades and new "toys"! I have an iPad Air replacing an iPad 1st Gen bought on the first day of release. Was happy until iOS 7 was introduced. Since then, many frozen screens on the web, unexpected shut downs for reboot. No, it is not full, as I have over 70gigs available. I close my apps regularly so they don't run in the background. NOW, since the release of iOS 8, my wifi connection is slow like ****, to almost not working. And I haven't even ungraded to iOS 8! Is this Apple's new way to force me to upgrade? My iPhone 4S is faster, although I have to change it. No battery life, regular unexpected shutdowns. JUST WRITING THIS POST IS PAINFULL: at one point, I was only able to erase text by backing up... No editing possible, no new typing either... As if I was monitered and they did not agree with my text. So weird... Anyways it is back now. As I was saying, need to change phone, but I am afraid to buy  the 6 with iOS 8.
    SO, here are my questions: what can i do for my iPad Air connectivity issues? And between an iOS 7 iPhone 5S and iOS 8 iPhone 6, what to choose?

    If you don't like to be helped by other users that volunteer their time to help other users, then go to your nearest Apple store, and talk to a Genius there at the bar. Call up Apple Support. There are ways to get direct Apple Support. These forums are here to help out those who want help. Not for those who just want to vent.

    The iPad Air shipped with iOS 7 from factory, so not sure what that means.   it worked with 7 but then it did not?
    Whatever is going on with your iPad now, is completely unrelated to the release of iOS 8. Apple does not tamper with the devices to force you to update. In fact you don't even have to update at all.   I know people still using iOs 6 because they like it.
    Personally I updated my iPad 2, an iPad Mini, and my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 and have experience none of the issues that seem to plague people.  Should i automatically assume the update is flawless?  No, but I also don't assume that Apple is causing issues to my devices remotely. That is just ludicrously ridiculous.
    The forum software here does have many issues. It also ironically enough doesn't get along with iPads very well for some reason, but Apple has nothing to do with that.  Jive, the makers of the forum software provide it to Apple and maintain it as well. If there are issues with the forum software we report them to them, and they try to fix them.
    With that said, apple sold over 10 million iPhone 6s on launch, have you seen anywhere near that many complaints about it?
    In a pool of devices that large there's bound to be issues, but its still a very very small percentage of users having any issues at all let alone device breaking ones which are even less.
    Good luck finding another Technology company that has a percentage of issues as low as Apple has in a pool of devices as large as the one Apple manages.
    As a final point, what have you tried to solve the slowness and other issues you are experiencing.  Sometimes software suffers bugs. If resetting the device has not fixed this perhaps a restore may work out.

  • No cellular connectivity on my iPad 2 after iOS 8.0.2 update

    Since the update to iOS 8 I have had no cellular connectivity on my iPad 2.  The updates  8.0.1 and 8.0.2 haven't fixed things.  I can use Wifii but when that isn't available I have no internet connection. Can anyone advise me what to do, please?

    I favor "nuking it"! ... :-) ...
    That's what I call restoring it to "factory fresh condition" - in the same condition that Apple sells the iPad 2s TODAY in their online store!
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Be sure to do your backup first.

  • No cellular on iPad 2 after iOS 8.1 update

    Lost cellular capability after updating iPad 2 to iOS 8.0, then 8.0.2. Have now Reset, Restored and Updated iPad to iOS 8.1 but still no cellular, only wi-fi. This problem has only occurred since since iOS 8.x. Is there a fix for this?

  • IPad Mini after iOS 8.3 update causes iPhoto 11 repeats

    After upgrading both iPhone 5S and iPad Mini to iOS 8.3 I sync them to my Mac Pro 1.1 Lion there is a peculiar repeat of iPhoto 11 continually trying to load photos.
    It counts the quantity then the iPad or iPhone dismounts. It remounts and it starts again. I shut the iPhoto down and restarted the app. It continues to do it. I will rebooting the Mac Pro and try it.
    Heads for of you still running Mac Pro 1.1 with Lion.

    You can preform a DFU restore.
    Follow my steps:
    - power down your iPad
    - Hold down the home button and don't let go
    - Plug the iPad to your computer
    - Do not let go the home button
    - ITunes will prompt you that the iPad is recovery stage
    - Restore your iPad
    You should be all set and updated issue free.
    Cheers!

    Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Itunes no longer connects to 5S, ipad Mini retina and ipad 2 after ios 8.02 update

    Since the ios 8 and now 8.02 updates my Itunes does not connect at all to my iphone 5s, ipad mini (retina) and ipad 2.
    iTunes' built in diagnostic sync test says no devices found.
    I plug in the USB and nothing happens.
    USB ports are working fine. All my other USB plug ins still work fine.
    Same computer, same Windows 7 - 64 bit - all updated.
    I did a clean iTunes delete per Apple instructions and then re installed iTunes again per Apple instructions and still nothing.
    I got first a missing DLL error message and then not even a beep when plugging in the cord (yes all Apple accessories).
    Anyone else run into this issue?
    Sheesh I hate updates!
    Thanks!

    For device connectivity issues see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, and TS4062: iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.

  • Anyone else having reset loop issues with ipad or ipad mini after IOS 7.02 update ? Based on my research it looks like this release is a total disaster for a lot of users. Locking up phones and ipads. Hopefully 7.03 will fix this mess.

    My Ipad mini is in a constant reset loop since 7.02 upgrade. Did a full recover twice to Factory setting thru Itunes. That did not work. Any thoughts on this release and it's implications. Looks like many people are having the same issues.

    Hi gruhland,
    Thanks for your reply.  It sounds like your device is actually in a restart loop, which is different from the process of a soft reset.  Specifically, what I wanted you to try is this:
    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 resetting does not break the restart loop, it sounds like a different direction may be warranted here. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more assistance by using another one of Apple's support resources:

    Take care,

  • IPad unresponsive after iOS 8.02 update, doesn't show up in iTunes, hardware reset (home and standby buttons both held down for ten seconds) not working

    I have a 32GB iPad mini that was purchased new in June of this year. A little while ago, I started the iOS 8.02 download while it was plugged into a wall socket using an official apple wall to USB plug and an official apple thunderbolt cable. I then left for 25 minutes to get some food.
    On coming back, I discovered the iPad with a black screen showing the apple logo. I thought this was just an ordinary part of the update, it was restarting or something after installation, so I thought nothing of it. Then, after another minute or two, the screen flashed blue and then went completely black.
    Puzzled, I waited for another second and the apple logo reappeared as if the iPad was restarting again. However, after a few minutes, this happened again. This has been going on for the last half an hour, and I was wondering has anybody experienced this before.
    As I stated in the title, it won't show up in iTunes, and the hardware reset or whatever it's called doesn't work. Also, bear in mind I had issues syncing it with iTunes the night before and it also seemed to crash a few times last night, restarting the iPad and bringing it to the blank screen with the apple logo for a few seconds before going to the lock screen. That didn't happen at all this morning though.
    The iPad is not jailbroken, however, it does have licenses for gba4iOS, which is still installed on it, and a VPN license installed on it by the Hola app, which I deleted but never bothered deleting the license for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Colin how are you?
    I updated my IPAD yesterday and have the exact same problem.
    Itunes does not recognize my ipad. Home and standby also doesnt work.
    Also have the blue thing every few minutes and the apple logo but it never goes beyond it.
    Have you solved the issue?

  • Error 1630 on iPad 2 after iOS 5.0 update

    Hello there, it seems that I am one of the lucky ones to have an iPad 2 3g, and unlucky to get error 1630 after updating to ios 5, and get the error "no sim card installed". Does anyone found a solution that worked? Thank you -

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. In terms of Safari, you could try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • 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.
