Ipad2 doesn't work since IOS8

What options are there for my IPad2 since the IOS8 update. It is slow in every area. Slow to turn on, slow to slide from screen to screen, apps constantly crash. I can't even do the newest 8 update because it crashes during the process. Apple has made my IPad worthless. I keep turning it off and doing hard reboots and completely restored it back to factory settings. Any suggestions???

iPad 2, iOS 8

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.


In any event it will be slower on iOS 8 thant 7 because of the hardware on the iPod.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple
