Ipad really slow after update to iOS 9

Have you tried just a complete reset of Safari?

Safari on my iPad 3 is running pretty quick and I currently have 4 tabs active.

Sorry to learn this.

Even setting reduced motion to ON didn't help?

Turning off Background App Refresh didn't help, either?

😟

Apple fired Scott Forstall over not apologizing over the maps issue they had which to me is petty. That started the decline of iOS and then after he left the other main guy they had retired after iOS7 and now you see how buggy iOS 8 was and iOS 9 is total junk. They seriously have issues with the main selling point of their devices which was the always smooth running iOS. Hopefully they'll be able to hire some talent to deal with it. It ultimately is the fault of the CEO for poor judgment and bad decision making. They need another Steve Jobs bad.

Really?

Many people would disagree with you as Apple just posted another record breaking financial quarter and they have BILLIONS in the bank!

IF iOS is running just peachy on my 4 or more year old iDevices, there is nothing wrong with iOS 9 or the recent 9.1.

As I stated in your other post thread, something on your new iPad Air 2 caused an issue woth iOS 9.

You never responded to me to see how you did these upgrades/updates, but OTA with Wifi or Cell data is NOT the ideal way to upgrade iOS devices, IMSO!

Instead of whining and ranting, why don't you just bring your new iPad into an Apple Store and let them sort out your mess!

You have one free year of AppleCare. Why not use it!

I will state this once, again!

The amount of users reporting into these forums with iOS issues with their iDevices represents a very, VERY small minority.

There are tens of millions (or more) of iDevice users who aren't having issues with their devices and who don't post in user troubleshooting forums, like those provided by Apple.

Just because the small minority of users having issues, that post here, doesn't mean that Apple is at fault or that Apple is forcing users of older hardware to upgrade to newer hardware or Apple is "out to get your money" for a new device!

It just means that some older hardware has had some arbitrary issue that has caused problems with upgrading to new versions of iOS.

OR there was some unforeseen iOS bug or software glitch or anomaly that has affected a small minority of users devices.

This has always been a common issue across all major iOS AND OS X upgrades/updates.

It a pervasive issue when dealing with OS upgrades/updates with so many users with so many different configurations.

WIth an ever growing iDevice user base, there will be users that will, invariably and inevitably, run into problems.

Yes, it is a small consolation for those who have iDevices that either aren't working properly or not at all, but the issues ARE NOT RAMPANT across the entire user base of iOS devices!

Apple can't test for every device configuration contingency.

Everyone uses these devices differently and have different apps and data on them and older devices cannot use some features of a new iOS upgrade due to older hardware limitations.

There are just too many variables that are out of Apple's control and can't be tested or accounted for.

Hi MichelPM when you say do a complete reset to safari what do you mean and how is it done. I checked settings but didn't see any reset for Safari. Please help if you don't mind. Thanks Steve

I was meaning in the Settings app under Safari, clear History and website data.

II've done this twice yes.

Whining and complaining? Your solutions are worthless if the operating system is defective and they are worthless. And as I have said before you shouldn't have to refresh and delete things to get it to work somewhat normal. Keep your nasty comments to yourself.

I haven't seen any nasty remarks why would you state something like that when all the member is doing is trying to help others in stress. You should apologize to MichelPM instead of criticizing someone that is only trying to help!!!

I apologize. I thank you for trying to help but I do believe it's up to the programmers at Apple to ultimately deal with the bugs causing the lag on iPad's and iPhone's from iOS 9. Hopefully they will read these discussions and do everything necessary to restore the normal operation of the devices. I know they probably are working on it I just hope that they acknowledge there is a problem and don't push it back until iOS 10 which may have a few bugs of its own. 😐

Apple designers and engineers don't participate in these forums

Take your tirade up with Apple.

http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Apple designers and engineers do not read these forums. Apple supplies these forums for users to work out their product issues with other users, but these community forums ARE monitored/moderated by Apple Staff assigned to these community forums, but I do not think any info is ever passed on to who/mever the cognizant parties are who would need to know if there are any mounting issues with a product or software.

The only way to get Apple to listen to you is to use their feedback portion of their website. Apple DOES read the feedback, but they still do not respond with any personal replies.

Good Luck!

I am done with this post.

Me too. Hopefully they'll fix their operating system or watch their sales decline. No one is too big to fail it just takes time.

One thing I noticed is that my Notification Centre (on the pulldown screen) is *full*. It appears to contain every email I've ever received, and is unclearable as the device doesn't seem to be finished adding the thousands of notifications in order to allow me to clear it. I managed to get into the settings and disable Mail notifications and it hasn't *yet* frozen since.

Anyone else suffering from home screen freezing up, is your notification centre doing this too? If the device is trying to cope with hundreds of notices at once coming from Mail, then that could explain the lag.

Hi, you may read of ways to improve performance, by reducing transparency or motion. Don't even bother. The main issue with iOS 9 in iPad Mini is Siri. Just by disabling Siri (Settings > General > Siri) you will see significant improvement, restoring iPad to the iOS 8 performance levels. Obviously Apple will address this issue in one of the next updates. I know that a lot of people depend on Siri, so my recommendation for iPad Mini 1st/2nd generation is to either stick with iOS 8, or go to iOS 9 with Siri disabled.

Thanks for the tip, I never use Siri the only time it comes on if I accidentally press the button, I find Siri irritating so I have now switched it off. Let's see if this speeds things up.

WOW!

That is a completely new find!

How did you find this?

Siri has never been an issue previously.

What about just turning off the Siri suggestions option under Spotlight in the Settings App instead of completely disabling Siri?
