safari iOS 8.1 freeze and slow

Bugs and minor issues I can handle. Fundamental flaws of the type being reported by hundreds of people is inexcusable. I fail to understand how these issues were not picked up in any testing phases.

Hundreds of of people and even thousands of people is not significant compared to close to HALF A BILLION users. That doesn't mean that Apple won't help a handful of people, because Apple will, regardless of how small it is. It's just that the larger group of users is not going to be too concerned about it.

The fact that I can't have an option to roll back to iOS 7 is also a shambolic decision by Apple.

Why should Apple do what they have never been done, from the beginning iPhone and the iOS?

Just an update: I thought I wasn't experiencing the issue on my iPhone 6 Plus, but I am. So, on both my iPad Air and iPhone 6 Plus, I am unable to click links unless I zoom in. The zoom on my iPhone is set to standard.

This hasn't been a big issue for me ... as I've seen it once in a while. But I found that a link would respond again just by moving the window up or down by the tiniest amount.

The Safari issues seem to affect not only the older iPad 2 but also my family's newer devices as well (iPhone 6, 5S, 5C, iPad mini), to varying degrees on each of them. This is definitely a disaster of serious magnitude no matter how much cheerleading and repetition of only partially effective advice various users list here (and it's useless trying to reason with them, so don't even try).

Personally, I have stopped wasting countless hours trying and re-trying the various suggested reset/restore/chant/burn incense actions, and now I'm waiting for iOS 8.1.1 to see if Apple will come up with the real fixes that it continues to not even acknowledge as necessary. If iOS 8.1.1 doesn't provide the necessary fixes, I'll look to alternative providers.

One thing I have discovered through experimentation when stuck in absurd situations (keyboard lags,,,watching letters appear seconds later in slo-mo, page freezes, uncontrolled page refreshes with the message that it encountered an error and the result that an entire paragraph entry field gets blow off, etc, etc.) is to close all other tabs before you begin typing into a paragraph entry box. So far, by doing this, I'm able to complete the entry without significant typing lag and no freezing or auto refresh. Let me know if this suggestion helps anyone else.

You'll have to reason with the users who have found those measures to be 100% effective for them ... :-) ...

Can you please stop e mails, I believe we got the answer our son was searching for.

I don't send e-mails ... the discussion forum software does. You have to make the adjustments from within your own account here.

The same way you are connected to Apple ... :-) ...

You seem to continually appear to defend Apple and dismiss people's problems in a passive agressive way :-)

No one's problems have been dismissed. You see, if someone tells you that they are offering some solutions ... THAT is a very CLEAR SIGN that they think you have a problem ... :-) ...

Bit you do dismiss every post that still has a problem after your informative solutions list, why is that :-)

Your question is similar to a question in a different subject area ... just for an example of what you are doing here.

Someone says to you ... "You keep beating your wife, why is that :-) ?"

You'll probably come back with (assuming you have a wife) ... "I don't beat my wife!" ... LOL ...

LIkewise here, I don't dismiss that there is a problem, but I do see others dismissing that there is EVEN a "fix" that users can do (and have done) and have gotten their iPads working just fine.

AND ... as I have said many times, there is no ONE FIX that will take care of "all problems" but a variety of fixes, because there are a variety of problems, although only with a very very small number of users as compared to the entire installed user base.

I have told some of those users that say something didn't work for them to KEEP AT IT until they do have the fix. That's how you do it.

my only connection to Apple is my slower now running IOS 8 ipad 2 :-("

He can dismiss away but at least some Apple representatives are now acknowledging that there is a significant issue that is affecting an appreciable number of devices. My visit to the shop resulted in an apology and good advice; don't waste anymore time adjusting settings, wait for 8.1.1 and restore this from factory settings.

Where have I dismissed that there are problems that we address on this "users helping other users" forum?

You seem to miss the significance of the FACT that if someone "offers a solution" they have acted as if there is a problem by that very "offering" of a solution.

I see that simple logic escapes you ... LOL ...

Not at all, we simply should not be in this situation and we should not have to wait this long for Apple to resolve the difficulties.

Please do not make inappropriate comments regarding my logic, you do not know me, personal remarks are impolite and are not in the interests of this thread.

I don't have to know you ... all I have to do is see your logic "on display" by your comments here.

Still can't believe that Apple are continuing to bury their heads in the sand and as of yet I've still to see any official acknowledgment about how they intend to fix the multiple problems which are being experienced by many, many users.

I don't know who gave you the idea that Apple EVER announces in a press conference or on an Apple website that they are going to issue fixes. Apple has NEVER done this ... so I don't know why you seem to be expecting that procedure now.

What Apple does is take Apple Support trouble reports, then analyzes to see if anything happens to be related to a bug ... and if so ... they work on a fix which is released in one of the upcoming revisions. They NEVER announce what they are working on or when a revision is coming out or what is contained in the revision. BUT, by Apple's "history" ... they always fix the bugs, if there are any.

AND ... by the way ... as to whether there are bugs or not ... from what I've seen in the last 30 years for all computer systems and devices and companies ... there's never a major upgrade that is released where there are not some bug fixes coming up in the next revision. That's just the way it goes ... :-) ...

An organisation going backwards.

I don't know how you ascertain that Apple is going backwards, when they have done the EXACT SAME THING for the iOS devices for the last seven years, without exception. There's no "going backwards" here ... it's the same process that happens every time for a major upgrade. They issue the upgrade, some users have problems, those problems are analyzed and Apple releases revisions.

I think you are merely unfamiliar with how this process works.

ARand what part of your bank is filled by Apple each week star traveller! Sorry, but if you climbed aboard the space shuttle you would expect the odd niggle, if however it was as useful as iOS 8.1 you would call it challenger or Columbia! The more people like us post on here and share our stories with the bbc the more chance we have of getting Apple to come out and formally apologise and compensate us all in some way. Quite simply, if they dont, other companies profits will swell as the Apple is starting to taste rather sour now and people are sick of it. Remember Sony ericsson of not to long ago!

I Feel that star traveller is being paid lots by Apple, here in the uk we are now being told to wait for an update as no fix will last long. This all reminds me of Mercedes Benz in the mid 90s. A fantastic product that suddenly became ****! Took years before they acknowledged they cut to many costs and try to do things different and rushed, ps. My bow is running just fine!

One thing that is clearly a violation of the Terms of Use here is for a user and poster on this forum to MISREPRESENT oneself and say that they represent Apple. So, I have to be clear here and make sure that I am not in violation of these Terms of Use and clarify that I do not represent Apple or work for them or work for anyone else that has any kind of business relationship with Apple.

I hope that clears it up ... :-) ...
