After IOS 8 upgrade many aplications ( Safari, Facebook, etc) load very, very slow (comparing with 7 version) , with a significant delay of more than 10 seconds...
Who can I solve this problem? Any workaround?
PD
Apple should better test the software before delivering.
Thanks.
iPad 2
To the rest of iPad2 community, pls try this before condemming futher:
1. Open a few webpages in Safari (i had 6 tabs openned)
2. Go to the last tab on the right & "pinch the page" with 2 fingers (the screen will reduce into 6 mini tabs).
3. Select any one of the mini tabs.
When Safari resumed normal size after Step 3, my iPad regained 80% of it's original zappiness, like magic. All other apps can scroll smoother & I'm a happy iPad (iOS8) owner again
A poster who signs up only today, has an obviously flame-baiting user name, who doesn't post according to the terms of use here on this forum and doesn't stay on topic for what this forum is for and about ... is better off just leaving and never coming back ... because that kind of poster is of no use to anyone who comes here seeking tech support solutions from other users! Good riddance!

Apparently you missed the fact that this is a forum for "users helping other users" in which one user posts a request for a solution to a particular problem, and another user offers a solution that the first user can implement on their own iPad.

My iPad 2 became unusable after upgrading to iOS 8. Closing an app (single tap on the home button) and app switching (double tap) took forever to the point it felt like the the system had frozen. Everything else seemed to be running in slow motion. It was torture.
I spent the weekend reverting to iOS 7 and then reinstalling apps and reconfiguring everything. Looks like I may have lost the use of some apps too unless I can figure out how to revert them to previous versions (1Password, Pages, and American Airlines).
But my iPad is functional again. Lesson learned!
EXact same dillema here! Im frustrated with the freezing and slowness on my iPad 2 since IOS update. Also, my MacBook Pro is useless after latest software updates which typically are presented along with IOS upgrades in order to make Make compatible across devices. When I reported to Support online chat, I was treated like crap and the person never read my texts. They just kept saying I had to pay, and that IOS is not for MacBook Pro. I know that, but when I downloaded the software updates presented last week through App store specifically for Macs, my Pro is now only giving me a blank screen after white Apple Logo screen loads. It is as if it is being viewed from a remote computer. Nothing is working to fix it. So now, because Apple has gotten so apathetic to our small needs, I will have to fork out money for a computer that was working just fine because Apple will not admit there was a software glitch with Mac upgrades as well! Im beginning to have similar problems I had when I was a Windows user, for much more money!
ANy chance of sharing how you managed to reinstall if 7.1.2?
my ipad 2 is long out of warrany so I could care less whether the reversion is "supported". If I can't get rid of iOS 8 my ipad is useless anyway.
Agreed on all counts. My expeience in these and other ares as well. Im dissapointed in Apple in this last year. But they seem NOT to care when I contact them. If it was a broken glass or button, my fault... I would agree that I need to pay. But this is software that you are changing and requiring us to update, Apple!
Macworld’s Chris Breen has an excellent article on how to do revert to iOS 7
The website RedmondPie has a list of links to iOS 7.1.2
Unless you have a complete backup of your iOS 7 data on your Mac, be prepared to reinstall and reconfigure everything. And if you upgraded any apps that only work in iOS 8 it looks like you’re out of luck on getting the version that worked in iOS 7.
Good luck!

Apple is notorious for allowing older hardware to update to the newest IOS version that renders it unusable, and then freezing the updates. For example, the iPhone 4 functioned perfectly well until they released IOS 7, at which point it became unstable, slow, and frustrating. They then halted updates. I had the same issue with my original iPad. It is an annoying thing when it happens, and they do not make provisions to revert back to the last usable version of the software. Instead, they allow you to upgrade to the point that your frustration leads you to buy a new device. There is always going to be a question of when you are going one update too far with older hardware. If you go back and look at old posts around the time of previous IOS updates, you will find this same issue has always occurred with an old generation of hardware. It is one of the most frustrating things they do.
I had the same problems with my Ipad 2 after upgrading software: very slow, couldn't copy and paste, screen and apps would freeze. Deleting apps and photos, rebooting etc did not improve the functioning. Finally I found a solution and my IPad is functioning properly again.
Go to Settings- General- Turn off Multitasking Gestures. Reboot.
FIxed the problem for me. I hope it helps others!
Mine is working just fine.
Please tell me that your unit has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
Hey, have any of you guys tried going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings? Please note, this will reset all settings like wallpaper, wifi, passcode, etc. but will NOT erase any of your data. I would try that, alot of times that clears up issues like this. If that does not work, try doing a backup and restore. If you need help with that here is an article on how to go about that, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings that will clear up any software issues.

Oh .... you're in touch with Apple about my posts?! ... LOL ...
And ... If you check out the terms for use on these forums, they are for getting solutions to people's specific problems. And that means if someone tries a solution given here and it doesn't work, no ... it's not supposed to devolve into a GRIPE-FEST on these forums ... but rather that person should go over to Apple Support or to the Apple Store and get it taken care of there.
Here's Apple Support ...
And here you can make an appointment to get your iPad fixed ...
IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgrade
