Weve just downloaded the latest software on my Ipad wish I hadn't bothered Its a disaster .I had just fathomed out how to start an Album on the forum with lots of help at TINGS I started two albums put some pictures on both now I've tried to put pictures of the painted railcar and all I is an error message I can't even get a photo to come up to submit it DONT UPGRADE to is08 its rubish I can't even go back to the old software so I'm stuffed
Bob
My son just downloaded the latest version Ios8 on my IPad now after Being shown how to put pictures on the forum ,creating two albums I tried to put new photos into the railcar album and all I keep getting is Error messages .So unless you really have to I don't recomend that you upgrade your IPad in case there IS a problem and it's not just me being thick.
Bob :help:
It's ok here
Try reccreating the folders??
Hi Bob, my upgrade went OK, but then again, I don't use it to upload pictures to the forum. They tend to be too big. I use my laptop to resize them first.
Bit to late not seen anything on the news and we don't buy news papers I wish I could go back to the old version BUT YOU CANT a big :thankyousign: to APPLE
WARNING TO OTHER IPAD USERS DONT UPGRADE.
Bob
I've never been successful at up loading pics from my iPad either and thus use my Laptop. Which is actually where I store the majority of my pics anyway..
Rather than risk loosing Whats already in my albums I tried to create a new one ?But I still can't download any photos it just comes up ERROR 500.
Bob
Well I have lost my pictures with 8 and I am well peeved, I had everything on back up to icloud but I am unable to retrieve.

An error 500 on the browser would be an issue with the website, not with the OS. So far I've not hit any issues on the forum with iOS 8 but it's possible something in the forum software is having problems because it doesn't know about the new browser version or it was just a case of a bad internet connection/server issue.
Always back up before an update (via iTunes to your Mac/PC ideally ) and with photos it's worth downloading and storing them on your computer too.
Bob. Both your albums appear to be there but there's a 'new photo' listed in the railcar album that appears to be broken as it won't view. Looks like it just failed to upload properly.
Hi Zwilink my son has tried to help but still no joy .the pictures I tried to put in my album were of the finished painted and transferred Railcar I will try again during the week my older son has an IPad he also tried he will come over next weekend and have another try.
We have other problems as well with Emails on the Apple site but not Orange emails they are working fine.
Bob
Hi all,
It's fine on my phone, but IPad says it hasn't got enough space. I've cleared out a load of photos and there's plenty of room now, but I don't think I'll bother with IOS8 until someone has something positive to say about it?
Pete @ EGLM
PS predictive texting on phone is much better.
This article (http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/ios-8-download) gives an opinion on whether you should upgrade depending on your device.
I generally wait for a month or so before updating. If the update is buggy, then another update follows

That's good to know 'cos I'm 61 this year :worried:
You'd better avoid OS.62 then. Could spoil a good year. ;)
Bob,
If you are near an Apple store (list of stores (http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/storelist/)) 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 (http://www.apple.com/uk/support/contact/). If they cannot sort out your issue quickly then you may have to pay
There is also some on-line help for iPads (link (http://www.apple.com/uk/support/ipad/))
:thankyousign: 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. :sorrysign: I keep on but I just hope nobody else has trouble like this I'm lost without the forum and my Emails.
Bob
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 >:D

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 ::)
:thankyousign: 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 .
Bob
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.
Apple has withdrawn IOS 8.0.1 and recommends owners downgrade

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.
Cheers

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 :thankyousign: 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 :NGaugersRule:

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.
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).
Cheers
Dave

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). :)

8.0.2 is now released
Seems better BUT
1i cannot search for apps
2 auto entry Iof data on web forms causes safari to lock up
3 slow internet helped by 2 reboots ( why??)
Nr
Ios 8.0.2 on IPad
airplane mode won't work
Editing in a box ( ie on NGF Modify button) doesn't work
Everything seems to have gone Apple-shaped!
Iphone 5 seems ok
Big Mac won't access iCloud data ( without Yosemite upgrade - not due till Mid October!!)
I couldn't get to Apple shop on Sat so my IPads still stuck on Ios8 My family are thinking of scrapping it and getting a Laptop instead at least if you update and have problems you can then back date plus it's easier to connect to other devices Well Done Apple How to loose customers and cause trouble at that they must be NUMBER 1 They might be too late fixing the problem if we all ditch our IPads I will never recomend Apple to anyone.
Bob
:thankyousign: Onlyme But Pengi already showed me this but we have got a bigger problem my information sheet with passwords got thrown out by accident we can't remember the ID password so all of the Apple side of the Ipad is locked up So it does mean a trip to the Apple shop IF I can get there.as we can't remember Password Or Security questions and now can't get Apple Emails ,,only Orange Emails ,every thing else works ok just unable to put photos into my albums.
