Wifi on ipad 2 is extreme slow

Hi,
I have 4G network available and i am using AT&T Mobile Hotspot as a wireless router, Everything is perfect such as my laptop, Android phone, but when it comes to IPAD, it is extremely slow. Even to open google it takes about 1-2 minutes, i cant download any application.
Last week i click update all applications (26 applications) i couldnt able to download even a single one and now i cant use old versions of these applications as well, because if i click it says waiting.. I dont know, this is the first time i am stuck with ios.
Please help.

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
•  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • After downloading the update ios6 my iPad is extremely slow how can this be fixed, After downloading the update iso6 my iPad is extremely slow how can this be fixed

    After downloading the update for my iPad 3rd gen my iPad is extremely slow. How can this be fixed???

    You may have to restore your iPad using Recovery mode, but try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the logo. This takes about 10-15 seconds.
    IF the update will not complete or you see the connect to iTunes message on the screen, you have to restore your iPad.

  • IPad is extremely slow and hangs since IOS8 upgrade

    Since the IOS8 upgrade my iPad2 is extremely slow, the touch sensitivity seems diminished (along with the keyboard being slower also), many apps no longer work. Can't risk trying to backup to IOS7.x because i am afraid the original IOS7 backup may be gone. I told my wife and daughter DO NOT UPGRADE, so they are still working fine.  Apple Support, where are you?  Maybe all is well for the new phones but you have forgotten other users.
    i believe my loyalty to Apple (since 1984) is fading as I am now slowly recovering all my data so I can move away from Apple.

    Try a reset by holding the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears.
    FWIW my iPad 2 is running just fine under iOS 8.
    By the way, you cannot retreat to iOS 7 - that is not supported.

  • Macbook pro running 6.8 has wifi cutting out and extremely slow

    My macbook Pro recently started having issues where the Airport says the wifi signal is full, yet is extremely slow(.5mbps compared to 30 that i normally get.)
    It also cuts out but says it is still connected, but chrome, safari, itunes all cannot connect even to google.
    So far I have tried,
    Deleteing the playlist items in system configuration
    restarting the router manually and from the router control panel
    shutting off my airport card and turning it back on
    set a new location in network preferences
    setting DNS to Google DNS and openDNS
    setting IPv4 settings to manual
    checking the router channel
    restarting my computer
    setting the network utility to constantly ping
    checked the preferences on the netgear router site
    turning bluetooth on and off
    setting and unsetting a firewall
    using network diagnostics
    the only thing that works is to turn airport off, then on again and reconnect. even then, I can only get a few page views, sometimes only one, before it stops loading anything. my wifi connection used to be amazing, then one day it just started doing this. I get very slow speeds when I can connect, and downloads are extremely slow.

    I also finger McAffee as the culprit, it's not necessary on Mac's as of 10.6.8+ Apple installed their own anti-OS X malware detector and it checks for updates like every 26 hours or so.
    If you need to clean the Windows malware off their files, the free ClamXav does the job nicely and doesn't bugger up the machine as it's run as you need it.
    For your other slowdown issues, I suggest you look through these tips of mine, my Snow Leopard is incredibly fast.

  • Internet speed over wifi seems to be extremely slow and downloads go up till 50kb/s max but on the computer they go up till 600kb/s

    As i said in the title, my net speed over the speed seems to be extremely slow. I had my adsl upgraded recently from 2mbits/s to 5mbits/s but when i had 2mbits/s the speed seemed to be fine and after the upgrade downloads just dropped down to 5-50kb/s when its supposed to be arround 300-600 kb/s. Is it a problem with my router or something to do with the iPod? Please help.

    Sorry, but yeah im using wi-fi. WPA2-PSK security and radio type: 802.11g
    The 802.11g standard for wireless networking supports a maximum bandwidth of 54 Megabits per second (Mbps).
    That does NOT mean that the average throughput will reach 54 Mb/s. The "speed" terminus is merely used to describe the bandwidth of a connection, not its actual speed.
    The common units are Kbit/s, Mbit/s and Gbit/s
    The actual useful data exchanged on 802.11g networks will always occur at lower rates than 54 Mbps.
    The 300 to 450 Mbit/sek bandwidth you will only get on a 5 GHz 811.n network with MIMO and (for the 450 speed) at least 3 antennas in your receiving unit.
    But, as you described, the connection slowes down while transfering data, especially on your iPad.
    This (except for a usual up and down fading) indicates, that there is either a bottleneck in your network or additional (unwanted) traffic on the net.
    First to think on is, that Bluetooth and 811.g uses the same frequency and may interference.
    First steps to do will be, following the troubleshoot as described under the link below.

  • IPad browsing extremely slow

    Hi,
    Over the past few months internet browsing on my iPad has become unbearably slow. I have cleared cookies and cache, rebooted the iPad (holding down sleep and Home keys until the Apple appears), and even installed another browser (Grazing) to see if it was just a Safari thing. It is not. I have an iPad 1, and have primarily used it to do internet browsing and book reading.
    This did not happen when I installed the 5.1.1 OS. However, it was not until after I did install 5.1 that the response time started degrading. Now, I really don't want to even try to browse, because it has become so bad.
    Also, this is not a bandwidth speed thing because the response time on my Mac laptop and on my iPhone are absolutely within an acceptable range.
    Does anyone have any ideas about why this may be happening, or have any suggestions about how I might be able to speed things up?
    Thanks for any help you can provide!
    Cheers,
    GB

    Thanks Diavonex,
    I'm off to get a new MacBook Air on Monday, so before going through the pain of restoring, I will see how my browsing habits may change with my new device. My iPad is MOST wonderful for all of the other things I use it for - mail, book reading, doing art with Brushes, finding out what bird that is sitting on my deck....locating places in the world when they are referenced in a book I'm reading.
    So, if I just end up doing all of my browsing via my new Mac.....won't be the worst thing that ever happened.....
    (as you can tell, I'm avoiding the whole "restore" saga like the plague.....) But, in the end, if I have to, then I will!
    Thanks for the idea - at least it is something that may help!!!
    Cheers,

  • Safari on my Ipad is extremely slow

    Safari takes forever to load & often will not load at all, yet when I change to the Dolphin browser on the Ipad, it loads.  What is up with Safari?

    I have tried that over and over to no avail.  I keep getting the message that safari cannot load because it cannot find internet connection yet Dolphin browser on my Ipad finds the connection no problem. I have tried clearing the history & the cache. I have tried closing all open apps. I have tried deleting apps.  I have tried signing in on my wifi as guest. None of this works.

    I have iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3
    Starting from last months until today, I have a big trouble with my iPad about EXTREMELY SLOW APP DOWNLOAD SPEED, in both downloading new apps and updating the currents apps from store.
    Only one app can take 1-2 hours to be downloaded. Some times even half day needed. Or sometimes process can finish with fail and says "could not be downloaded at this time"
    IT IS PAINFUL !
    I checked & did the following below, but I couldn't solve this issue. Please HELP !
    - My WIFI internet speed of home network is Great, no problem about that
    - I've already used a "Speed Test app" from iPad and it is great, no problem in the  speed also
    - I've checked the space and more than 30 GB is empty in the device
    - I've completely disabled Genius Apps feature
    - I tried many times hard reset by long pressing power and home buttons together
    Nothing can be solution the the problem. What can be wrong about downloading apps?

    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.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • IPhone 4S and iPad 4 WiFi is extremely slow

    Over the last month, the WiFi connection on my iPhone 4S and iPad 4 has been extremely slow. The iPhone and iPad cannot seem to get speeds faster than .5 - 1.3 Mbps. Yet, my (wired) Mac Mini and (WiFi) Macbook Pro are pulling 18 - 25 Mbps consistantly.
    Not sure if this is an issue with my approx. 3 year old Linksys Wireless N Router (model E1000) or an issue with the iPhone and iPad since i'm able to get decent wireless speeds on my Macbook Pro.
    To troubleshoot the situation, I've verified my wireless router's firmware is up-to-date and I've reset the network settings on the iPhone and iPad.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful since I seem to be stuck and not sure what "next steps" I should take.  Thanks in advance!!

    Ok, so...here's a twist: I've been using Speedtest.net to test my wifi connection.  I ran tests on 4 different servers that Speedtest picked up.  While testing the iPhone, 2 of the 4 show speeds well over 20 Mbps, however, the other two servers show speeds of about .5 Mbps.  Is it normal to get extremely different readings from the servers?
    I'm now trying to determine if in fact I have a problem...or if there is no problem since the speeds look fine on other servers.  What do you think?

  • IPad extremely slow

    I have an original iPad (3G+ Wifi - 64 gigs) and recently it has been responding extremely slow to simple tasks such as going into and out of email or safari or the photo app, pretty much any command is slow.  There is a 3 second delay for example when I am in the Facebook app and then hit the home button.
    I have already tried the following with no success, the iPad simply is not responding to any commands quickly any more:
    Cleared cookies and data from safari
    Rebooted iPad
    Cleared plenty of space on the iPad
    Restored the iPad
    Closed apps running in the background
    What else can I do to get the iPad running smoothly again?

    Unfortunately, no.  I've tried all of the troubleshooting methods listed in my first message.  At first, it always seems like an improvement.  But unfortunately it's always short lived.  I really don't understand why this is happening nor do i want to buy a new ipad every 2 years.

  • Extremely slow wifi speeds after Yosemite install

    I "upgraded" to Yosemite and now my wifi speeds on this machine (iMAC) are extremely slow, like crawling. Was fine this morning before update. All other devices in the house (iphones, ipad, macbook pro) are all running normal fast speeds. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Missing Mavericks already.

    I saw a big (huge) change in wifi speeds after Yosemite upgrade, it was more noticeable the farther away from the router I was. I moved closer to the Router and speed was back to normal.
    You can check your connection by pressing at the same time alt(option) and the wifi icon (at top of menu bar), a drop down list will show the connection's stats, look for TX Rate towards the bottom. After upgrade my TX Rate dropped to 5 Mbps! I moved closer to the Router, and TX Rate improved to 146 Mbps, Safari was browsing at normal speeds again.
    I read other discussions, found a suggestion to rename my location, in System Preferences - Network - WiFi, at top of panel Location, mine was named Automatic (the default). As suggested, I clicked on the arrows, selected edit, and renamed the location, name it anything you like... I restarted the computer, and luckily enough my TX  Rate at the farthest location from Router improved from 5Mbps to 39 Mbps. Still slower than before, never saw it below 80's. Don't know if the restart or the change of location name did the trick, maybe it was that Yosemite needed time to adjust to its new environment, regardless, there was some improvement.
    I think there is an issue with Yosemite and WiFi that causes the TX Rate to drop more than with Mavericks as the distance from Router increases. Does not sound logical, but that is what the connection stats are saying!
