Wifi is soo slow in ipad mini after upgrading to iOS 6

my wifi connection is so slow, takes forever after upgrading. i also seem to loose connection from time to time. is there any way for me to go back to the older version. how can i fix this problem? it is so frustrating...
i have tried everything from turning wifi on and off and "forgetting network" as well as rebooting. also did a reset, but it's the same thing. nothing's changed. i think i had a faster connection before i upgraded to the latest version.hope someone could help me out

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

  • YouTube Videos and others won't play on iPad mini after upgrade to iOS 7.0.2, any suggestions?

    I upgraded my iPad mini to the iOS 7.0.2 software and now videos (YouTube, USA Today, etc) won't play.  I have already done a restart (holding down the menu button and on button) and eern after restart, videos won't play.  Any suggestions?

    when u do a restore it deletes off everything on the device, including software. then it reinstalls the software from a new download package. this will ensure ur device isnt getting the same glitch in its system that ur current software has if that is the issue. when u restore from the backup u made AFTER uve done the 'restore ipad' that will put all of ur stuff back onto the ipad. i would suggest deleting off the youtube app b4 doing the back up and then readding it after the restore and restore from back up phases. if all of that doesnt work, youtube is the one with the problem and u should contact them.

  • I lost my past entries on ipad mini after upgrading to ios 7?

    Can someone help, please? Before the upgrade my ical events (7 different calendars) synched fine across MacBook Pro, Iphone and Ipad Mini via Icloud. The events are still on Iclous, is Macbook and Iphone 5 but Ipad only synched back about 2 weeks! This is a real problem, if I need to double check about a past appointment with a client, refer to our last meeting or so on... I've checked All iCloud on my Ipad but nothing seems to get back the old data.

  • Issues With iPad mini after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2......

    WWish I'd checked the forums first, but I upgraded to 8.1.2. A few days ago and have had nothing but issues.
    FIrst -- it takes twice to three times as long to boot up my device.
               After the apple logo disappears, the screen is just black for the longest time
               Then eventually I hear a faint "DING" and the screen eventually gets lighter but this takes about 5-6 minutes
               Haven't had time to check the new manual.... Is this normal?
    second -- Lots of freeze ups doing any variety of functions
    third -- When tapping to diwnload a WORD attachment in an e-mail.... the circle graph loads properly but the document never opens when tapped.
               I'm not sure which is the most frustrating, plus there's no way to TURN OFF that dorm Emoji Keyboard which just gets in my way far too often!!
    any body have any work around for any of these???
    i No longer love my iPad...that's for sure.

    How do you know some stop halfway and others barely start? What are you seeing? While it is possible an app is not compatible with iOS 8.1.2, but I doubt it. If it was working with iOS 8, then it will work with 8.1.2. Try signing out of the App Store and sign back in again.

  • HT4085 i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7.  did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?

    i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7.  did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?

    When you reset to factory settings, did you restore as new or did you restore from a backup? If you restored from a backup, you could try restoring as new and don't use the backup. If you do that, you will lose all of your data, but you can download or sync all of your content back to the iPad.
    You could also try resetting all settings before your restore as new. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You will have to re enter all device settings again.
    And of course the possibility does exist that the iPad has developed a hardware problem that is causing the rotation issue and only a visit to an Apple Store could determine that for sure.

  • Wifi problems on iPad 2 after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1

    I upgraded my iPad to iOS 5.1.1 last night.   Ever since then, it keeps losing the wifi connection.  My laptop, ipod and iphone are not losing any connectivity with the wifi, nor has this been a problem with the iPad prior to upgrading the iOS.

  • You Tube App Missing on iPad 2 After Upgrade to iOS 5

    I have an iPad 2 that I purchased from a US Apple store in May 2011.  After upgrading to iOS 5 the You Tube app is missing.  How can I reinstall it?

    That is one of the standard apps that is not deletable.  So it is probably there somewhere.
    Check setting, general, restrictions, and make sure you didnt turn that on by accident.
    Then goto the searchlight screen, and type in you tube, and if the app is on the pad, it will find it.
    If restrictions are not on, and if searchlight does not find the app, do a full reboot,
    If still no joy, do a restore from backup. 
    But check restrictions first.

  • Cannot connected network sharing from my iphone 4 to ipad mini after upgrade iso7.0

  • Safari not work for iPad mini after updated to ios 6.1.3

    After updated to ios 6.1.3, Safari just not response. I cannot input any web address. Do anyone has this problem? Do anyone know how to solve it?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • 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.

  • Notes App keeps crashing on my iPad 2 after upgrading to iOS 7

    I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS7 and after two days in which everything was fine, today Notes app stated to crash. It opens for just a couple of seconds in which the notes list on the right appears all highlighted in dark gray and then it crashes.

    I followed beppolina suggestion and it fixed the issue, no note was lost. Although from time to time a note seems to vanish from my iPad and iPhone app list. When it happens I immediately go on my Mac Book, I switch off wifi and open the Note App there. Sin my Mac doesn't update on iCloud as often as my iPad or iPhone, the vanished note it's still there. I then proceed on making a small change to the note, like adding one random character, which brings the note on top of the list and makes it appear back on my iPad and iPhone again.

  • No service on IPad 2 after upgrade to IOS 8. Waited a month to try it. A restart brings connectivity back for a while. If the iPad 2 was too old to receive this upgrade it should have been excluded from it.

    Upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8. Waited a month as I saw all the problems other users were having. Now I am with them. No service. Connectivity restored only after a restart . These are necessary frequently. Last week I had a fully functioning iPad now I do not.
    If the IPad 2 was not capable of handling the upgrade it should have been excluded. I have read the fixes, tried some, apprehensive about trying others. Why should the customers have to work to fix an upgrade meant to improve performance?
    Any news on an IOS fix?
    Any solutions other than wiping out  everything and starting over? Have seen that several times. Backing up, wiping clean, refreshing, restoring...why do we have to struggle?
    i am spending way too much time trying to get my iPad back to what I had. I am sure the genius bar is packed with iphone 6 users and the new edition iPads. No room for folks with "old" ones. And if I try something and fail then I have nothing at all.
    Hoping for a "fix" from Apple as well as any ideas.

    Hello, ik31.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
