For those having problems with the iOS 9.3 update please read...

Last week, I updated iPad Air and iPhone 6 to 9.3 version 13E233. Worked fine. This morning my iPad Air showed update available for 9.3.

if this had been Microsoft I would have ignored. I clicked to install "assuming" it would see that is was already loaded. Well it loaded version 13E237 and now

MY iPad is hardly working. So this fix is worse! My wifi is extremely slow using safari. I have reset network and it has done nothing. I have turned Java off as someone recommended and it did nothing. Playing videos on craftsy was where I first noticed that downloads were slow and videos are fuzzy/blurry not good quality. You tube takes forever to download and constantly buffers.

Unfortunately I am on the road away for next 8 weeks from my home computer but now I see previous version not available.....I hate to say this, but Microsoft does allow easier way to revert. I just bout a Mac too.

THought someone needs to know that the iPad fix broke my iPad!

See post I wrote around same time you wer writing yours. The 13E237 messed up my iPad Air. Mine was working fine with pprevious build.

AS an old mainframe analyst this is really complicated. 13E233 worked okay for some of us with completely different devices and now the

new build 13E237 worked for you but screwed me up.

What is there to feel guilty about? You have done a great service by starting this thread and responding to so many. It is not your fault that Apple messed this one up.

Was finally able to install 9.3 on my IPad mini. And for once it did not change any of my original settings.

Thanks for all the links and updates you did... It is appreciated

Congratulations.

WendyinSonoma,

Totally off topic. My sister-in-law complained of various problems on her iPad back when she upgraded from iOS 8 to iOS 9 so she purchased a Surface Pro 4. It has a fully functioning iTunes loaded on it so this past weekend, I helped her transfer her music from her old PC onto It. It has a USB port so all her Apple devices synced without any issues. Compared to the iPad Pro 12+", I thought the screen size was just right and very responsive. Hardware wise it was very impressive. I became familiar with Windows 10 fairly quickly too.

Back to the topic, hopefully your issues with 9.3 have resolved or will resolve soon. I just updated my child's iPod Touch and iPad Mini to the newly released 9.3 (ver 237). Everything is working fine. Good luck.

II've noticed most people have this problem mainly with 9.3 version and not the 9.2.1 version which I do have the same problem. My question is do I do the upgrade or dont I? Will it resolve my problems or make them worse?

this is what I have done so far with all the advice on here and still to no avail the problem remains.

removed booking.com

removed website history, turned JavaScript off, restarted....can click links within Google but when I get to websites like eBay and gumtree...need JavaScript or can not click links within the site Or links within emails, as hangs.

contacted apple support and the reply was:-

They are aware of the problem and advise me to keep upto date with new software....what do I do....update or not update to 9.3?

Just saw this article. It provides various details and describes a fix which seems iffy to me (same as the redmondpie fix). I would only try it if it was essentiaI. I would backup to iTunes first. I don't have the issue and in my case it is easier to wait. I realize that there are many who are heavily impacted, particularly if they rely on their devices for work or essential communications.

Good Gravy! I cannot possibly wrap my mind around that! Fact is stranger than fiction.

This Guardian article is so well written that I think I now have a grasp on why your link's workaround works

Not something I would try unless I was really desperate.

Some folks use their iDevices all day every day as part of their Business Process - these folks may do a risk/reward analysis and conclude that "who cares if it is *still* busted?!?"

* If I am reading right, this debacle was enabled by a vulnerability in Apple's submissions process - the UL data files are usually in KBs not MBs that are submitted in App builds TO Apple for review (an App doesn't get 'approved' once at first submit and then green light from then on, does it?) - a "perfect storm" ? timing ? = we will never know, but some intrepid reporter might dig it up!
