Did you recently upgrade the iPad to version 6 of its iOS operating system?


And, are you also using a Mac with Mountain Lion 10.8 as its OS X operating system?


If the answer is yes to both, you will indeed think that the iPad feels like a Mac or vice versa. Due to unfanthomable decisions in Apple's Engineering and Management, iOS 6.x and OS X 10.8 share many common interface elements and behavior. That's just the way it is. But rest assured that your iPad is running bona-fide iOS. Furthermore, if your answer to the first question was YES, that's the way it is going to be for now: there is no way to downgrade the iOS in a mobile device.

I Have no clue about either of ur questions I don't remember it being updated to iOS 6. I know it was right around that time this happened but nt sure if mine just started acting like Mac before they came out w IOS 6. Know I was running the most updated one right before they changed to IOS 6. Is there a way to get this stupid Mac software or whatever it is off my iPad and go back to just iOS 6 without paying for all those apps to get ios6
