Ipad problems

Have you tried switching it right off and restarting? That sometimes deals with stickiness.

Thank you Baggs, yes, I did that this morning before I went out. Still sticky and slow. Still on my ASUS

Hi Auntieflo, I've included a link which seems quite sensible:- Slow iPad Fixes. I would try working through these to see if they help. I wouldn't bother with the Ad blockers though, I've tried them and think they are more trouble than they are worth.

Let us know whether any of this helps.

Hello NanaMacGeek, thanks for that, I'll have a look a bit later.

Take it to the Apple shop? The staff are so helpful.
Or Google 'slow ipad' and you will see lots of suggestions and fixes.

Depends how old it is - my husband's is one of the very early models (my cast off ) and like a steam engine! Could it be your net that's slow?

I did some of what had been suggested, and it did speed up a little bit. I am thinking that it could be it's age, poor thing. We could pop into Reading and take it to the Apple shop, but I would have to make an appointment, they are always so busy.
(Actually, tongue in cheek here, it was only when I was doing research on Gransnet, that it got really slow and positively stuck, when trying to scroll up and down a thread)
Thanks for all your hints and tips, they do help.

I am having exactly the same thing, but mainly on GN. My iPad is old but I am not convinced it's not something to do with GN site. Only been affected since yesterday.

Well it seems to have sorted itself this afternoon Auntieflo so it definitely ain't my iPad!

Whoops - spoke too soon. Keeps freezing but seems to be intermittent.

Lazigirl, it's very odd. It only seems to be happening on Gransnet. Definitely intermittant. It has taken over half an hour to get here from Logging in,mchoosing Active, then trying to scroll to where I want to be. Very odd.
Thanks

I have asked HQ if there is a problem Auntieflo.

Lazigirl, I am now using my ASUS tablet, and all seems to be OK. On the other hand, my Ipad is still playing up. It just freezes and won't scroll. I think I may have to bite the bullet and replace the old with a new. i am loathe to do this , but I love my Ipad and use it daily, too much really.
Watch this space!

I will try using phone but am reluctant to replace trusty oldish iPad yet because other sites seem fine, so I will hang on for a few days and see if it resolves. I can't live without my iPad 😱 So it may come to that.

I've just found another link. It may be more relevant if using the internet seems to slow your iPad down and the advice is sensible:-www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/ipad/speed-up-slow-ipad-3632709/

On my IPad 2 IOS 9 the bug appears to be coming from Gransnet website and affects the search engine, Google etc

All the other website I visit are normal on Google click on GN and it slows and stops. I am messaging now on "Startpage" which seems immune so far.

So go into settings > safari > clear website data and try other sites then try GN.

Hope it works for you.

Thank you Diana 54, my i pad has been playing up for days. I have just cleared the website data in settings and its worked!!

I cleared data as soon as it started but it made no difference so I have changed my search engine from Google, and so far so good........

I have succumbed and now have a new IPad, but as my Gransnet uses the old email, I am using my ASUS at the moment. Lazigirl, when I saw Diana54's post, I had a quick swear, as I had bought the new one before seeing that.
I hope you get yours sorted soon. I did find out that my old IPad was 6.5 years old, so maybe it was due to be replaced.

You didn't hang about Auntieflo . I am still thinking about it but things seem to have resolved today, fingers crossed, and I don't think it has anything to do with changing search engine, history etc. Am back on google again. My iPad is about 5yrs old I guess.

Oh dear! Can’t access site at all on iPad now, although it’s fine on other sites. I have reverted to using iPhone and finding layout more difficult to use. Anyone else had access probs?

I am still having problems with the gransnet site either keeps sticking or freezes completely.
Have been advised on another forum to take my I pad (it is a few years old) to take it to the nearest apple shop . Apparently they offer part exchange on old I pads

Have you checked your storage, my older iPad often freezes because almost at full capacity.

My old iPad was six years old when it started going really slow and freezing. I cleared everything I could to no avail, gave in and bought a new one. I think it’s built in obsolescence.
