Q: Wallpaper problems, hovering apps on home screen, and safari issues on iPad 3 after ios 7 update?

Has anyone else been having any issue when trying to select wallpaper on iPad 3? For example I try and tap multiple times to select wallpaper and also scale the size but it takes forever to select it. It's almost like the touch screen is glitchy. As well I will be surfing the net through safari and I get kicked off and returned to the home screen. This has happened multiple times. As well the apps on the home screen are slightly hovering like they are floating in water. I am not impressed.

    Hello L8T,

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    For your first 2 questions I recommend the same thing. Force quit all the apps that are running:
    iOS: Force an app to close

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137

    1. Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    3. Swipe the app up to close it.

    Then restart the iPad:

    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

     

    As for the icons and background movement, that is called the parallax effect, and can be turned off by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion.

    This article will give you more info on that:

    All the very best,
