Q: Problems After update to iOS 8 on ipad 2

Hello community,

 

please pay attention when you update your iPad 2 from iOS 7 to 8. The whole useability of my iPad broke down and their are many problems using my iPad now. Everthing is really slow and I always need a restart to connect to my service provider with 3G. The following problems occurred on my iPad:

  • Safari is working realy slow and sometimes brake down
  • mail is also realy slow and most of the functions sometimes don't work or hang
  • 3G connection fails anytime you switch on the iPad and needs a restart

 

TO Apple:

please improve this version of iOS and submit your update asap, otherwise my iPad is not usable anymore and lose me as a customer.

 

thx.

iPad 2, iOS 8

    Simply restartingmy iPad 2 fixed my glitching sluggish issue completely. The only problem I'm having is that I can't use my Bluetooth keyboard on the text pop up reply window for some reason. But since I can receive phone calls from my iPhone 5s on my iPad 2 even though it said I shouldn't be able to, I am super pumped about the update. Anxiously awaiting the texts from non iOS users coming to my iPad now....hurry Apple hurry

    That is pity. The level of Apples arrogance & innorance towards their customers is amazing. The answer is to admit the mistake and give users possibility to go back to 7.1.2, which works. What sort of business logic prevents then doing it. Just don't get it!

    I Agree. i have tried to contact them Apple who are as unresponsive as my iPad since the upgrade. Online banking now doesn't work and my bank tells me it is because of the new IOS! Safari so slow and if it does connect the page can close unexpectedly. Quite a disaster for me and other users. Apple should be informing those who make them such massive profits, what it is exactly they are going to do and when!

    I am running iOS 8.0.2 on my 16 Gb wi-fi only iPad 2 and it really has damaged my confidence in Apple. They should have at least posted a warning to iPad 2 owners that iOS 8 would degrade the performance of their iPad 2 to a point where it becomes frustrating and unpleasant . . . if not unusable.

     

    Battery drain is high (battery dropped from 100% to 17% in a matter of hours -- never saw this before); e-mail takes a long time to load and to switch from one message to another; Safari seems to be a bit better since I followed the suggestion to "pinch" down multiple pages and then to reopen one of the pages.

     

    I was considering a new iPad Air 2 (or whatever it will be called) this fall but this kind of a flub on software has me hesitating. Unless Apple says something about what has gone wrong and what they're doing to fix it, I will look elsewhere for my next tablet.

    My ipad air is useless since installing IOS 8. Safari isn't just slow, is time's out before a page can even load. I am posting this on my PC that is connected to DSL for goodness sake and it is now 10 times faster than my ipad.

    APPLE, please fix this. I hate to think I invested so much money and can no longer use my ipad.

    I was excited to upgrade to the new iphone6 and get a mini ipad. Not anymore. Not unitl these issues are fixed.

    Having this exact issue, Safari is unusable on my iPad 2. I wish I had never updated it.

    YYou, me and hundreds of others! Apple is underperforming, witless to customer feedback and need for pertinent information and supremely arrogant that their customers trust them enough to eventually find a fix. Don't know about anyone else, but I am fed up with this. Apple customers pay a premium for product. Apple has failed. tried tweeting my displeasure but I havent a clue what their official handle is. Could be @appleinc  @appleofficial or something else. Like the latest fix, who knows? If Apple actually reads these posts then SHAME ON YOU. Millions of users abandoned by your ineptitude. Just get the sorry mess sorted; update your customers and regain some respect. do it!

    I do not believe this was in anyway an oversight by Apple and was intended to weed out those of us that don't upgrade to the "newest" model of everything. My iPad 3 works fine but my iPad 2 with wi fi has too many problems to list. I hate to say this but I dont think they will have a fix for the iPad 2 as they want us to buy the super deluxe ipad ? That'll be all rave. Apple has the monopoly on us

    Try going to Settings > General > Background App Refresh, and turn apps off. Then reboot. This should cut down on memory usage, as should double pressing the home button, and swiping upward on apps you are no longer running (it won't delete them, just close them), and should speed things up.

    That happened to me. The iOS 8 upgrade "broke" many of my apps and made the iPad sluggish. So as soon as 8.02 came out, I tried to upgrade, thinking they had fixed whatever was wrong. But while upgrading to 8.02, I got the image of a lightning cable under an iTunes icon on the iPod, and a message "The iPad "name" could not be updated (3014)". Well, that was silly; it's a current model and should be perfectly compatible with any upgrade.

     

    So I did what the picture seemed to suggest - I unplugged my iPad from the computer, then re-plugged it in, and iTunes said I needed to wipe it and restore from backup. OK, progress. I did so last night, and my iPad seems to be working again.

     

    Unfortunately - and this is really a separate issue - it lost most of the information. It didn't just reset the iPad - I told it to restore from backup, and it did restore some things. I think the backup it used (the one made just before I installed 8.02) was corrupt, incorporating whatever problems that were introduced with 8.0.. But there are some things I want to recover.

     

    Unfortunately, the backup I made a week ago (before upgrading to 8.0) I made on an old laptop running Mountain Lion. I was away from home and my normal host computer, and I know iCloud doesn't back up everything. So, not thinking I'd ever have to use the backup - I've never needed to before -I made a complete backup on this old computer before upgrading, just on general principles. 

     

    Now I want to restore from the backup on the old laptop. I've copied the files onto a flash drive, but I don't know if the file format of a backup from an old version of iTunes is really compatible with with restoring my iPad using the latest version of iTunes. And, assuming it's compatible, can I restore from the thumb drive, or do I have to put the backup into the (hidden) backups folder on Mavericks? Any help would be appreciated.
