iPad mini incredibly slow after io8

SSo since I stalling io8....which took hours....my iPad Mini is wrecked.

It is now so so slow, despite my memory not being anywhere close to full. Certain apps have stopped working, even though they've updtated to fit in with io8. It's freezing constsntly, and when I type it takes a good few minutes for my text to show....this is like problems you have on an ancient comouter....shouldn't be happening to a four month old iPad. At the moment its pretty ,unchanged useless, which is ridiculous after spending so much ,only only a few Months ago.

ANyone else experiencing problems? I apologise for the bad typing, this has taken ages to type up on my ipad.

iPad 2, iOS 8

Try a device reset:

Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)

1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.

2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.

3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Hi Go to Settings Backup to i cloud Restore to Factory, Settings over your Wifi this will get rid of any bugs. After Restore, use the Same Apple id & Password then you will get all your apps & data back. Cheers Brian

The IO8 is pure crap! Took my wonderful Ipad and made not much more than a doorstop. Apple dropped the ball again. Apple continues to ignore the problem too.

It's like living with a 2400 baud dial up modem, ,most people don't even know what that is, but I'm remined evertime I try to use my pad. I've hard reset, my wifi speeds are in excess of 65up & dn. Plenty of space. It's just crap software. My Mac book doesn't have the issue and my Iphone is almost unaffected as well.

Apple please wake the F up and fix this abomination now. No excuses other than it was a garabge upgrade! FIX IT!!!!!

bump.

My ipad mini is a worthless piece of crap because of this update. Why the **** does APPLE, a friggin billion dollar company choose to ignore this?

Please for the love of god create an update that actually can make this ipad mini works. Robbers. You guys are robbers.
