Problems After update to iOS 8 on ipad 2

Hello community,


please pay attention when you update your iPad 2 from iOS 7 to 8. The whole useability of my iPad broke down and their are many problems using my iPad now. Everthing is really slow and I always need a restart to connect to my service provider with 3G. The following problems occurred on my iPad:

  • Safari is working realy slow and sometimes brake down
  • mail is also realy slow and most of the functions sometimes don't work or hang
  • 3G connection fails anytime you switch on the iPad and needs a restart


TO Apple:

please improve this version of iOS and submit your update asap, otherwise my iPad is not usable anymore and lose me as a customer.


thx.

iPad 2, iOS 8

SSimilar issues using wifi as far as not connecting to servers. Crashing apps this update is an unmitigated disaster and another example of poor quality control which was something they used to excel at

He can't post links about some mass disaster (as some have said) regarding his particular problem. That's the trouble with someone who has a tech support problem - at times - just because they have the problem, they automatically think that everyone else who has the device they have are having the same problem ... LOL ...


It's like the 9 TOTAL "bending iPhones" out of the 10 MILLION sold ... if this guy had one of those, he would have been posting here that all 10 MILLION were having the problem ... :-) ...

You are on Apple Kool Aid Mac, if you think there are only a few having these problems. Perhaps you don't watch the national news!

Then you can link us to this information?


Thanks in advance


(Oh and different nations watch different 'National News'. I have no idea what Nation YOU are in, but it sounds like iPads are working /or not much differently than in my Nation 😉)


Cheers

I've been keeping up with the tech and iOS news from around the world, and there are simply no reports of some kind of mass problem. It simply doesn't exist. All that is going on is the same thing that goes on with a few users during every major update on the iOS ... it happens every time and it's nothing more than a hiccup. And even though it affects those few ... a 100% in their own particular situation ... that still does not translate into it affecting 100% of the users, and nowhere even close to a significant percentage.

I'll let my points speak for me, because those points I have gotten recently have come from mostly iPad 2 users. You see ... only the user, himself or herself, can award those points, and they do so on the basis of what they see as help.


At the very least, I can easily say I've helped more than you ... :-) ...


BUT ... mind you ... there are others who have helped these iPad 2 users way more than me!

Pete, here's a link from ArsTechnica today: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/11/ios-8-1-1-said-to-address-iphone-4s-and-ipa d-2-performance-problems/

And here's one from CNet: http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-delivers-bug-fixing-ios-8-1-1-beta-to-developers/

I don't see anything about it being an international issue for every iPhone and iPad user. (I only read the first one, Cnet are considered a gossip and unreliable source by most I know).

Did I miss that information somewhere in the text?

Yep, I see they're talking about a big disaster there ... LOL ...


You won't find any such articles regarding the claim made here by some highly agitated people, saying that it's a massive problem with all iPad 2 owners and users ... never mind that iPad 2 owners here on this forum exist who deny that very thing ... :-) ...


What you've got there in those articles is a standard news article coming out about some bug fixes that Apple is doing, something that any one of us could have told you was going to be done (i.e., "bug fixes") before there was ever an iOS 8 even released. This is all very standard and "ho-hum" stuff! There has never been a major upgrade by -- any company -- at any time in the last 30 years -- that didn't have a series of bug fixes issued afterwards, including ALL the iOS upgrades since the beginning of the iPhone!
