Problems After update to iOS 8 on ipad 2

Yes! And my Ipad 2 says always "NO SIM".

The support thinks its broken, but I think it is ios8.

I am also having the same problems. The whole system is much slower and my 3G connection is not reliable anymore. Most of the time I receive a No Signal message.

I had a sluggish iPad2 running 8.0.2. Your fix worked !

ios 8 has ruined my iPad mini, well done Apple!

My ipad won't even turn on now! I've lost all my photos, apps, contacts everything is gone and all my screen does is glitching black and white no logo just a weird light sliding left to right like the slide to unlock light but across my whole screen on yeah and I've done two full restores now and have haf no progress. And with no help from Apple because they want me to pay 19 dollars to ask for help on a problem that only occurred because of their stupid update!!! My ipad worked like a charm before this supposed "best update ever" I am thoroughly upset with apple.

Glad the solution worked for you too.

to the reat of the community, you may like to gv this a try:

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 iPad3's regained 80% of it's original zappiness, like magic. All other apps can scroll smoother & I'm a happy iPad3 (iOS8) owner again

***now i wonder if i should risk upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, after regaining 80% of original iPad smoothness. Will you?

ESCS

sis u try the 3 steps?

besides me, it worked for some people already.

iPad's speed regained >80% for me.

WHat about for you?

Seriously though, Apple can go **** itself. I will never buy another apple device again if they don't fix this, or allow iPad 2 users to roll back to ios 7. I think they have purposefully destroyed my device to try to force me to upgrade.

I m am having the same problems as everyone. the real shame is that this is my 78 year old mom's iPad... We bought it for 'cause it is so easy to use- all of these issues pose a huge problem for her. soooo frustrating!

ANy ideas on how we can uninstall the update?

Same problems! When will Apple address these issues!

I dont thinl they are going to fix this. They want us to buy new gadgets.

I agree, I am from Amsterdam, Holland. Updated iPad last Friday. From then on it immediately did shut down. Before allowing IOS8 update my iPad was perfectly allright. Support seems to be alienated from reality. I have been twice to iCentre in Amsterdam. I now left my iPad and it seems impossible , even for the so called specialists, who actually are helpful. Mind you they are non Apple people, it is a private company. I got a messge back from Apple support that my email cant be accepted. What is next? I will go back to the shop tomorrow and see. Though if it still cant be reset by a specialist and it was perfectly allright just before updating with IOS8, it is a huge problem caused by Apple. Right now I am disappointed and upset with them, support seems a customerservice which actually is not offering service. I just want my iPad working again like it was operating before updating with IOS8. And otherwise a new iPad. Their problem, read software not functioning well and causing problems around the globe became my problem. I want that they take responsibility.
Business wise it is costing me money, my QPR App I cant use right now and QuantumPainRelief.com app can only be used on Apple. To start with, Apple should popen a servicedesk just for IOS related issues. How difficult can that be for such a company prophessing they are bringing state of the art products to the market place. It feels like they are feeling superior and arrogance eventually leads to a fall of a company. Steve Jobs isnt here anymore to save your butts, SO....Apple what are you gonna do regards to customers service!!!!!??????

I have no word to describe how bad my

ipad is after updated from iOS7 to iOS8.

***** VERY DISAPPOINTED *****

I WANT MY IPAD BACK

It WORKED for me in Ipad 2. Its back to normal.Thanks

Like others, my iPad 2 (16 Gb, wi-fi only) is just not the same as it was under iOS 7. I am running iOS 8.0.2

Here's a list of steps that I've taken that have improved matters, though I still have trouble clicking through to hyperlinks on Safari.

Go to Settings

Spotlight search

turn off as many as you can

Accessibility

turn off everything EXCEPT "Reduce motion" -- turn that ON

Background App Refresh

turn off

Keyboard

turn auto-correction off

turn split keyboard off

------

Wallpaper

use some still, not dynamic

-----

Privacy

Location services

turn this off for all apps you can

Share my location

turn off

Contacts

turn this off for all apps you can

Photos

turn this off for all apps you can

Microphone

turn this off for all apps you can

-----

iCloud

turn this off for all apps you can

turn share my location OFF

iTunes and App Store

Automatic Downloads

turn off all that you can (I leave only app updates turned on)

-----

Safari

Preload top hit

turn off

Don not track

turn on

Fraudulent website warning

turn on

-----

After changing all of these settings, do a hard reset (hold the power button and the home button in for ~8 seconds). Let it boot up and reconnect, then repeat the hard boot once or twice again. I hope that you will find that your trusty iPad 2 is at least functional, if not a match before it got trashed with iOS 8.

So now my iPad is working at a level I consider marginal. But why Apple's engineers could not foresee these problems I don't know. Perhaps they're all kitted out with brand-new iPads, or they tested out iOS 8 on virgin iPad 2s that had not been loaded up with apps and contacts and such. In any case, I certainly will not be jumping on the Apple update bandwagon ever again. Instead I'm shopping around for what Samsung now has to offer. I know Android is not without it problems, but, after all the pre-release about iOS 8, I find Apple's behavior quite obnoxious. The company should be acknowledging that this was a screw-up and that they are going to provide their customers with a real fix or with a way back to iOS 7. And I don't mean just a re-install of iOS 7 (which would require re-installing all apps, settings, et cetera) but a way of going back to iOS 7 and then being able to use a backup created under iOS 8 to bring my machine back to where it was on September 16th.
