I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 8 and it's now no longer functioning quickly enough to be usable. For example, it takes several seconds for the screen to simply shift from portrait to landscape. The delay in typing alone makes it unusable. Anyone else having the same problem? I tried to reinstall iOS 7 but wasn't successful. Anyone figure out how to fix this?
iPad 2, iOS 8
II'd like to know, as well. Ever since I have done the update, my pages load slowly, if at all. I never had this trouble before the update. I'm really regretting ever installing it. @Apple, some help here?
TThanks for the tip. I'll try it out.
I already had my reduce motion on! So what that means is, if you already had it on or off all these issues would have arisen regardless, and turning them off didn't help!
Apple needs to address this real fast as a product that cost me $800 is a dud now!
My ipad 2 is junk now too after iOS 8 and 8.0.2 updates. I just hope apple can fix this or mine is only good for target practice!
8.0.2 did not help my ipad2 at all. Same slow and jerky.
Doesn't help. At. All. 😟
I guess I am going to make a formal complaint. I don't see any other avenues. I've researched downgrading to iOS 7, but it appears the window to do this is very small, and can no longer be done. I found this link in another part of the forum. http://www.apple.com/feedback/
II've sent a complaint about iOS 8, ( software issues) at this link. told them the problems I have had since update. I Am hoping that if they get enough complaints, they'll do something. http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I am experiencing problems with this update
the screen is slow to load and jumps when switching - working in slow motion
also low memory warnings on certain apps- what does that mean - a new iPad I suspect !
no way as the ridiculous trade in offer
JUNK JUNK JUNK..just finished the restore and no difference at all., some stuff even worse than before..I am reluctant to try and follow the prompts for 7.11...to return it..has anyone done it yet on their iPad 2??
PS Hey Apple,, ,you getting all this!!!!
I have exactly the same problem and find several functions that just don't work.
I am not even going to update my phone or my wives iPad and phone.
I have ordered the iPhone 6 plus and waiting for delivery not sure if I am looking forward to it now !!
What do we do next HELP
iOS 8 Rollbacks Shut Down, Apple Stops Signing iOS 7.1.2
If you made the move to iOS 8 but now are suffering from upgrader remorse, you're out of luck because Apple has stopped signing iOS 7.1.2. In muggle speak that means Apple won't let you downgrade from iOS 8 to iOS 7.1.2 any more.
Apple drops iOS 7.1.2 installation on devices for support iOS 8
Apple digitally signs operating system versions to ensure customers aren't tricked into installing software that isn't legit, which is good for security and — hopefully — stability. The downside is that once Apple stops signing an OS version, there isn't an option for installing it any more outside of the jailbreak community.
iOS 8 was released about a week and a half ago, and iOS 7.1.2 remained an option for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users who wanted to roll back, which was handy for anyone that wasn't pleased with the new operating system version.
Following the botched release of iOS 8.0.1 that disabled cell phone radios and Touch ID sensors in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple left iOS 7.1.2 as an installation option. Now that iOS 8.0.2 is out and seems to be free of iPhone crippling bugs, Apple decided it was time to put iOS 7.1.2 to rest.
Dropping support for previous iOS installation is normal and typically happens only a couple days after the new version is released. Apple waited longer than usual this time, which may have been a hint that the company was still seeing a high number of iOS 7.1.2 installs following iOS 8's release.
If you're using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that doesn't support iOS 8, you aren't out of luck. Apple is still signing iOS 7 for older devices such as the iPhone 4 and original iPad.

Apple today released the first beta of iOS 8.1 to registered developers for testing purposes, just a few days after the release of iOS 8.0.2, which fixed a bug introduced with iOS 8.0.1. The beta arrives as build number 12B401.
Apple has also released a new Apple TV beta and Xcode 6.1 beta 3.
iOS 8.1 likely includes several bug fixes for issues in iOS 8, and it also likely includes support for Apple Pay, Apple's mobile payments service that is launching in October.
Along with iOS 8.1, Apple is also simultaneously working on iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3, all of which are expected to add new functionality to the operating system.
iOS 8 has had a rough start, with Apple temporarily removing HealthKit ahead of the launch of iOS 8 and then releasing an unstable iOS 8.0.1 update that disabled the cellular and Touch ID service of many users. Apple released iOS 8.0.2 to fix the issue, but several other problems have come to light, including a bug that causes iCloud Drive documents to be deleted.
Me too, IOS 8 has turned by Ipad 2 into a bloatware mess. Goes to sleep, hard to turn on from black screen. Safari is is now a hopeless kludge browser. email and notes kick out to home screen. Nothing is better. Any way to revert?
see the post 2 above NO!
iPad 2 upgrade to iOS 8 causing performance issues?
