I just spoke to Apple support for the fact that my videos app does not open anymore on my iPad Air
(background: I am the originator of this thread and after downloading iOS 8 and having issues already discussed here after 5 flawless initial days on iOS 8, I downgraded to iOS 7.1.2 to avoid all these hassles and no issues until I downloaded a couple movies a week later and the downloads did not work then the videos app with all my movies would no longer even open)
their innovative solution was to do a complete restore, which would then require me to install iOS 8.0.2, which, given the discussions on here, is not an optimal solution because it seems even without the WSJ app, which I deleted at the beginning of hearing that could be the issue, the problem persists even if all works great for a few hours or a day after a restoration.
I Then asked if they had any record of this issue with iOS 8 and the iPads and he checked and said no. (Exasperation sets in that even after all these people calling apple as indicated on hubris thread, they still have no record of the problem).
hence, I have no idea if we are going to get a resolution or not but I am seriously considering going against my better judgement and doing a restore to put iOS 8.0.2 on my device and take my chances.
has anyone here had a resolution that works longer than one week with iOS 8? There are many of us that do not even have the WSJ app so it has to be more than just that.
