My iPad 3 freezes after installing iOS 7. It happens most often when change wall paper. I never had this problem with iOS 6. Anyone else experience this?

I actually had iOS 7 installed when my problems started, but yes I was able to fix this my problem....the fix will take hours so be prepared.


As discussed in previous postings, you will need to take a backup of your iPad before starting. For me, taking a backup took multiple tries, but I eventually got the backup process to work. Once completed, you will need to follow the instructions in an earlier post to wipe your iPad clean, and then treat your iPad as a new iPad.


Settings --> General --> Erase All Content and Settings.


Once completed, then plug into your iTunes and restore from your back up.


After I completed this process, my iPad now works great and i got back around 10GB on my 32GB iPad which was freed up in the process.
