iPad Air since iOS 8: Apps not updating and downloading no longer possible. Fix?

i just did the downgrade and it worked fine except one important thing……the article in OSXDaily that described the step by step process to do the downgrade insists as step one we do a backup of the device before doing the downgrade…..only problem is that this overwrites the backup from version 7 that I already had there so now that I downgraded, I have to reset up everything (since you obviously cannot backup iOS8 files to an iOS7 iPad, which he mentions but STILL says to do the backup as step one), not to mention that I have now lost all my notes taken in Pages from the past year's worth of meetings.

I know I am not a techie and that is why i followed step by step. I suppose the writer left out that KEY information. arrrrggghhhh. I have had to reselect my apps and in the process of re-signing into all my apps that have passwords but the worst is the lost pages docs.

I would have done this but I fear it will be as it was in the beginning of the iOS8….great for a while then will crash again.

I appreciate you saying that this corrects it but I am still going to stay with my downgraded iOS7 until I hear after at least a week that users are not having the problem.

I am still annoyed at the article that said to do a backup on iOS8 before downgrading because it meant the backup overwrote my iOS7 backup and hence I could not recover my data, the most important was my Pages meeting notes from the past year. All my Adobe files are back because I had them elsewhere (pdf, hence is an image of a doc and not the original) but my pages docs were created on my ipad and I was not diligent enough to send them to my desktop. (if someone here know how to recover files from an iOS8 backup not being used - I still have my iOS8 backup file and am resisting doing a backup again until I hear if there is a solution)

I did the update to iOS8.02 on my iPhone 6 and in looking at the details of the update, there is no mention of fixing any issues on iPad. I imagine the gravity of the issue for iphones was a top priority since having a 'bricked' new iPhone 6/6 Plus is a greater emergency for Apple than not being able to download or access certain apps on an iPad.

The iOS 8.02 update details only talks about iPhone problems. Hence, I fear those who have had the iPad issue discussed in this thread may have a similar few days of no problems with the new version 8.02 then will revert to not being able to download or update or access apps like Adobe, just as was the patter on the original iOS8.

I hope Apple does tackle this issue quickly. I will watch here to see if anyone starts reporting a 'normal' experience on ipad after a week of having iOS8.xx before I re-upgrade.
