iOS8 question

[Blue_In_AK]

I updated my iPad with this and updated whatever apps needed to be, now everything is all buggy. Am I the only one having this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I should know that I don't?

1. Buggy how?

Like spitting green pea soup out the power port? Or crashing apps? Or appearance change?

iOS 8's spelling prompts are more aggressive; honestly, I turned them off on my phone (and may turn them off on ipad when I get this one backed up).

I don't think you're necessarily doing anything wrong, but model and description of what's happening helps determine what's wrong.

2. It's been doing all kinds of weird things

A little while ago I was trying to type a reply on FB and every time I tried to type, the keyboard would disappear. I had to log out and come back on before I could get it to work. Different things have frozen up throughout the day. My FB news feed takes forever to show.

I know you can reset the iPad, which I've done, but I'm still having issues. Eventually I get everything to work, but it's just kind of annoying to have to keep repeating operations.

Maybe it just needs time to recover, like after brain surgery.

3. I updated phone and pad this week, but haven't tried the different apps, but maybe check for updates

Come to think of it, I"m going to do that right now.

6. Okay, first principles:

Buggy usually means a lack of either swap space (RAM), or too many calls on the processor. Slowness usually means too many resource calls on too little hardware.

Close out every app, then reboot. Open the first app for FB, start with the safari interface. Does it behave as expected? If yes, go test the FB app. If it works, you have two options. If the FB app is fine and the safari web interface falters, it's a safari issue; make a point of it with Apple; if FB, submit a bug report and use the safari. Repeat process whenever you have multiple apps that are essentially identical.

Also, now is a good time to reset your modem.

7. Thanks.

I'll try that.

10. You know what really helped?

Clearing my history. I should have thought of that sooner.

5. OK, checked my iPad for updates, now updating 42 of them.

I had to go into the apps app to find that out!

8. I'm downloading i8 as I type this

Hopefully there won't be much of a learning curve.

9. There isn't really a lot that's different about it

as far as the way everything looks. I was just having a few little problems. I'm sure they'll work themselves out.
