Q: IOS 8 copy paste problem + slowdown

Upgraded my ipad2 to ios 8. General slowdown, apps crashing on startup, huge lag when typing or selecting email from inbox. I've also experienced a strange copy/paste issue In Safari, facebook and other apps. When I copy and try to paste, I often get an old item I copied instead of the last item. Yesterday I tried to paste a URL repeatedly and kept getting text I copied from notes earlier in the day. I gave up. Today when I tried to copy and paste a sentence from a website, the URL that wouldn't paste yesterday kept pasting! Anyone else experience these issues?

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 8

    I Have the same problem with copy and paste in ios 8.

     

    i Think your other problems are due to your ipad 2. We have ipads from 3 to air, and iphones from 5 to 5s and have no lag or slowdown issues. just the copy and paste problem.

    Yep, exactly what I've got, copy and paste is all screwed up as is the speed, everything slowed.

     

    Im beginning to almost hate Apple after os7 destroyed so much efficiency from iOS 6 by comparison; I thought 8 couldn't be worse, but now copy and paste is defunct. That is a major downer and makes this iOS a joke.

    I had the same problem, then I got this solution:

     

    Back up  device + Factory reset + Restore = Copy / Paste works again.

     

    (Beta testers are encouraged to always do a clean install after a beta period when the official release comes. Shame on me!)

    I too have a copy/paste issue amongst other problems with IOS8 - I regret updating and no longer enjoy using my iPad.

    I'm having the exact same problems on my iPhone 4s.  So disppointed with this update.  I wish I could go back.

    Same thing happening to me since IOS 8 update.  If I try to copy a URL from safari or google or elsewhere and then try to paste into a Facebook message, comment, or post - I am not able to.  Seems a previous copy is stuck in clipboard and that's what keeps posting.    IPad also constantly shutting down apps.  I look at the system monitor info and with all apps turned off, I seem to be using 350+ RAM out of the 512RAM.  RIDICULOUS!

    I tried it from a backup but it forced the update while it was restoring.

    I too am experiencing the Cut/Copy/Paste problem everyone else is describing.  I'm also experiencing apps being terminated and restarting after switching from one app to another whereas ios7 did not switch out the apps (I mean small apps like Notes to/from Google Drive to/from Safari, for example).  The app switching problem is one that I experienced when ios7 first came out but had been greatly improved with the lastest ios7.  I hope it improves also in the new ios8.  (I have an iPhone 4S).

     

    I tried the Backup/Factory Reset/Restore and it did appear that the Cut/Copy/Paste problem disappeared (yesterday), but today the problem is as if I had not done a Factory Reset/Restore.  (The process did, however, clean my iPhone's space significantly so there was a benefit in this regard).  It is sad that these ios updates are released with such awful bugs.  It detracts from the usefulness of such useful products.

    Exactly the same issues here.

     

    Slowdown, app crashes & copy paste fails

     

    Not happy with the QA of this update, nor the quickly released / pulled iOS 8.01

    Did the backup, reset, and restore.  This did NOT resolve the copy/paste issue on my iPad2.

    SO far so good.  IOS8.0.2 seems to have fixed it.  Iwonder why it's not in the release notes?
