iPad 9th gen multiple app issues after update

I’m having multiple issues since latest iPad update.

device - iPad 9th generation


The issues vary across a number of apps and functions.


  1. Calendar - when scrolling weeks, the page will go blank and not show any data in the schedule
  2. Emails - not showing accurate number of new emails
  3. Several apps are freezing or no longer working


I have tried deleting email accounts then reinstalling, same with apps. I have forced shut off, etc. with no remedy.


thanks

If your iPad is not operating as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated or ;post-update software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.



If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings


If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assist with troubleshooting:
