Hello,

Since udpgradong my ipad 3 from IOS5 to 6 the boot time has becomen very slow.

When the connection screen appears, i must swipe 5 or 6 times the slider at the bottom of the screen in order to open the home screen.

Sometimes, the ipad goes in sleep mode before i got time to see the home page.

Yesterday upgrade to IOS6.0.1 did not solved this issue.

I red on this forum that i'm not the only one facing this issue.

I tried to reset the ipad but doesn't help.

Is apple aware of this bug ?

How to solve this ?

Try the following:

1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app.

2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

3. If the above doesn't work, backup and do a Restore

You close them, not delete them.

I did it, but the issue is still here.

I noticed, just after erasing all the apps from the ipad, that it was OK, so it seems there are apps which must slow down the boot time, but which one's ???

I put a video in youtube to explain : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stahx38o_Qo

Suggest you setup as new and add apps one at a time to identify which app is causing the problem.

That's what I began to do but it's quite long as I have to reboot each time and reinstall the appli one by one.

is it possible to increase the time between the unlock slider appears and the time the screen goes dark and you have to press home button to access slider again ?
