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

My ipad 2 is crashing and freezing. Even after updating to IOS 8.2. Even oping this window was difficult. Keyboard did not respond for several moments. Facebook never loads on the first attempt. Takes at least three tries and then it takes more time for the ap to start responding. I deleted and reloaded the app and still have the same issues.


i agree Apple will fix but time is very important. Please help.

Apple is too big at this point. Just like Microsoft before them, they get so big they start making errors.


Apple needs to give users the option to run whatever OS they want, just like on computers. Forcing users to upgrade to an OS that slows down their devices, with no way to reverse the error, is unconscionable. I don't know why the public allows a company to behave this way and I can't understand why a class action lawsuit has not already been filed. It's okay to release software too early, but it's not okay to force people to use it without an option to go back.


My iPad mini is buggy and sluggish after upgrading to iOS 8.


Remember when Apple products just worked? That's the whole reason I switched to Apple from Microsoft in 2004. Apple is the new Microsoft. Everything they release now is buggy. I completely skipped Mavericks because it was too buggy on one of my machines. I won't be upgrading to Yosemite until a few updates have been released. I just don't want the headache.

Rubbish. But if that is what you believe then tell Apple and not us.

ANy solution? My IPad has also become useless. I can't read my documents stored in Goodnotes. The app closes when I touch the tile button to jump pages. I cant possibly scroll every page before I can go to the rlevant page. Quickedit also can no longer read the word document. Safari also not working.


Appreciate advice on how to revert back to IOS 7.


why is Apple is so irresponsible to release software which causes breakdown in so many apps?

Restoring the iPad 2 and setting up as new does yield better results, but it doesn't always work. It is also a major pain in the butt to set everything back up again.


@petermac87 - I don't say these things lightly, and I have told Apple. I am a fan and have been for quite some time, but they have let us down recently with half-baked software that we can't downgrade. Although it has become common practice in recent years to force people to upgrade, it isn't right. Nobody wants to pay for something that isn't ready for primetime. I know they don't force you to upgrade, but they make it miserable for you if you don't. The fact that you can't clear the badge on the Settings icon if there is an update is bad enough.


Your view is clearly in the minority here.
