Os8 on Ipad

[Bealman]

You'd better avoid OS.62 then. Could spoil a good year.

Bob,

If you are near an Apple store (list of stores) you could take the iPad in an explain the issue with the upgrade. Might be best to phone first if you are travelling far

or you could contact Apple Support. If they cannot sort out your issue quickly then you may have to pay

There is also some on-line help for iPads (link)

  Pengi I think me and my son will have to book some time at our nearest store which is Reading I tried  online but it didn't help  My IPad actualy locked up completly just now It wouldn't even respond to the OFF button . Will get my son to backup every thing tomorrow morning he's on a late shift today so won't be home till late to night. I keep on but  I just hope nobody else has trouble like this I'm lost without the forum and my Emails.

I'm sure they'll be very happy to explain how you're using it wrong & there's really nothing the matter with the unit 

The old adage was never take even numbered releases.  Odd number releases have the bug fixes for the evens...

That's good to know 'cos I'm 61 this year

SWMBO had a good laugh at this - until I pointed out the year I was born in & so I was OK ... when the penny dropped with her, I got walloped !!!  Yes, she's an even-number year

  Thankyou for all your help Pengi . I will try all the Ideas again on Saturday with my eldest son , also thanks to anyone else who has tried to help ,Wish I hadn't taken notice of my neighbour who said the update was good he obviously has a newer model than mine .

In theory Bob, if the upgrade isn't suitable, it won't be offered. My wife's iPad is a first issue with no camera and has stopped at OS5. Maybe it didn't install correctly.

Please be very careful before you go this route, it's easy to get it wrong and end up with a none working iPad/iPhone or loss of data.

Apple are not recommending downgrade, but some 'fan' sites are. Apple are recommending you wait a week or two while they rush out a patch. If you haven't installed IOS8 yet I'd suggest you don't until things have stabilised.

By the way the article linked to says that previous versions are disabled within days. This is rubbish, one of my Pads is still running IOS6. I can't update software on it, but it runs just fine.

I think what they mean is that the ability to revert to a previous version is disabled rather than any device using an older version of IOS is disabled. I am still running 5.1.1 on an iPad and all is well

I would like to say a big to all the forum team who have helped me over my inability to understand  the    in my opinion complicated technology  called an IPad  .joining this forum has been such a help to me in lots of ways .
It has given me the opertunity to talk to new friends all over the world with the same hobby as me and I hope I've helped a few people with my limited knowledge of model railways

My ipad is playing up since putting on 8 but I will not go backwards with an update, I am thinking they will surely come out with a new update, all my web pages do not flow properly since the update, there always seems to be lag when scrolling, so mad they put this update out before a full test.

[DCCDave]

I had to upgrade my development iPad to IOS8 and suffered all sorts of 'broken internet' problems. I fixed them by:

Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services and turn off WiFi Networking (this service provides Apple with details of your local network - it does not impact your ability to access the Internet).

Next I disconnected my WiFi connection and reconnected. Bingo! all problems gone.

It's worth a try (and you can always turn it back on if it doesn't solve your problem).

Nice one Dave that has cured that problem, any more issues I know where to come to

Great, I'm pleased it sorted the problem.

Can't claim the credit, I read it on the web somewhere (on my trusty Windows PC).
