iPadOS 17.7.7 update has really caused issues to my iPad Pro

Relax folks iPadOS 17.7.8 has fixed everything. I started with iOS 5 and this is the first time Apple got it wrong.

17.7.8.

Good Job! Thank you, Apple!

Almost like in the old times...

It even recovered a lot of my previous settings for most of the apps!

I'm having the same problem. iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (2nd generation) updated to iPadOS 17.7.7. Any solution for this? I tried resetting all settings but it doesn't work. I do plan to reinstall. But if it still doesn't work I'm not going to waste my time. Maybe just wait for Apple to release a new version to fix it.

Thanks.

How do we do that?

I have the Support app but, in the list of “Support Topics” there seems to be no section for iPadOS itself (or bug reporting) - and if I select “more”, it just seems to list my Apps.

Same issue with 2 of my apps

Please fix it

Did you think to read information and guidance already posted here?

Information concerning how you should report the problem to Apple is fully described.

As previously mentioned, I have already reported the bug via the feedback link you provided.

What I was asking was how to contact the support team about this, given that the “Support” app does not seem to include any category for doing this. Please can you be more specific about this suggestion:

“In addition [i.e., not as a substitute] to submitting a Bug Report, you might also consider seeking assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page; you can also initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App”

… I do not understand it, sorry.

Noticed this earlier today. Phoned Apple Tech support 5 times today receiving different answers/help suggestions each time. Having read others are also experiencing the same issue I phoned again and have escalated further. Hopefully a fix will be applied soon

I have the same issue on my Ipad after updating to 17.7.7 - constant login issues for most of the apps. Depending on the app, either you need to login each time you open an app, the app doesn't remember your progress and acts like is freshly installed or is asking you if you want to get notifications every time you open it.

Similar problems here except ALL apps have been deleted except Settings, App Store, Photos, Safari, and Camera. Every other app has is gone and I can't reinstall any apps from the store. I click download and nothing happens.

Really bad.

This is really a problem now. I have security cameras which use th wyze app. Because it’s not maintaining its login state I am no longer able to get security alerts when one of my cameras gets triggered. I wonder how Apple will feel when it gets sued for property damages!

Time to dump Apple products!

We all can, but here's the reality. Apple's Feedback loop is a joke. I have stuff in Radar that goes back over a decade. The only way Apple fixes stuff is when a major YouTuber or the mainstream media make headlines about it. Gone are the days of Walt Mossberg calling them to task, unfortunately.

We are on old hardware and stuck with whatever bare minimal support Apple feels they have to do in order to keep people from jumping platforms. Everyone at Apple (that has any authority) have plenty of money to have the latest and greatest of their product lines, and thus, we are nothing more than bottom feeders to them.

What I dont like is that game progress that I have had for a few years has now been lost due to this bug in the update. In app purchases cannot be retrieved, so thats me stuffed.

I have asked Apple for a refund on them.

Frustrating

As others have experienced, the online support person eventually offered to reset and restore my iPad as a bypass for this. I declined.

However, I do have a reasonably current backup on iTunes (Windows), taken while still on 17.7.6. I am nervous about connecting the iPad though, as I *think* I have it set to automatically backup on every synchronisation. Thus, is there a danger that iTunes will create a 17.7.7 backup before I have the opportunity to restore the iPad using the 17.7.6 one?

Questions: a) Am I right to be concerned? b) is there a way of restoring from the 17.7.6-level backup while avoiding this? Guidance welcome…. ta
