iPad 3 freezes when trying to delete app or shortcut - iOS 8.1.1

I have the same exact issue ipad 3, 32 gig wifi only 8.1.1

Of note, I was doing a lot of app reorganizing when this started happening.

in other words, upgraded to 8.1.1, then started reorganizing apps, deleting some, etc.

At first it was first letting me delete from app drawer. however at some point it started exhibiting above behavior.

I restored from backup and above described behavior persists.

I Have had the same problem. Went to Apple Store. They erased the data, reinstalled the OS, reinstalled the apps one by one. Was able to delete apps. Went home and problem returned. Did system erasure on my own and reinstalled apps. Worked for about a day. Problem has returned. Planning to go back to the Apple Store. I think it is an OS8 problem. I Am interested in hearing what they do for you and if it works.

Let me know. I am just going to delete thru the setttings menu for now.

Do you have a lot of apps on your ipad? This ipad has all my kids stuff on it so there is a lot of stuff on it

I wonder if it has to do with the number of apps.

I also have a bunch of folder set up - maybe it has to do with folders.

I do not think that installation of any 1 app would cause this type of behavior

Went to the Apple Genius today. He did the same thing I did before. Cleaned out the system and restored with IOS8 as if it were a new iPad. Installed a number of apps and they worked fine at the store. Came home and restored from my back up. Found out that all pages would delete except page 3. The Genius told me that, if the problem continues, its in the processor and would require a replacement for $299. I have about 60 apps on my iPad. Up until I installed IOS8 there were no problems. Now I have this delete problem in addition to my email freezing every few days. My feeling is that the problem is with IOS8 and the fact that iPad 3 cannot handle it for some reason. Apple doesn't want to admit that because they would be responsible for fixing your iPad since they told you to install IOS8. For the time being I will solve my problem by sliding an app off of page 3 if I want to delete it. Eventually I will upgrade but this is not enough of a problem to make me spend the money for a new iPad.

Let us know what happened when you go to see the geniuses. It will be interesting to see if they suggest anything different. I doubt it.

genius sound pretty stupid. This is an obvious iOS 8.1.1 bug that needs investigation. does anyone from Apple read these forums?

it is not just page 3 causing the problem on mine

I have a brand new iPhone 6 and I have this same exact issue. So it's not just on iPad and I doubt that it's a processer issue, because it happens with my 5 on ios 8 as well.

I sent an email to Apple Customer service, explaining the problem and my experience at the Genius Bar. Stated I was upset at being told it was a processor problem that would cost me $299 to fix since it started right after installing IOS 8 and was shared by many others who had iPad 3. Told them I felt it was Apple's responsibility since they directed me to install IOS8. I requested that they either repair or replace my iPad. I am waiting for a response.

Son of a *****. I reset "All Settings" and it worked. Let's see if this worked for others. Don't know why my Genius didn't try this.

Yes! I changed to bold and the delete problem reappeared. I have been using bold all along but forgot to activate it when I did the reset. Maybe the reset had nothing to do with eliminating the delete problem. The problem may involve a connection between the bold setting and the delete function in the processor, all brought about by the downloading of IOS8.
