Issue with iPad, can you help?

gazelle77 · ‎03-01-2013

The last few days, when I use the key board, it is S-L-O-W! I type a letter or two and there is a pause before it shows up. If I type very slow, it follows...but normally I can type fast and it keeps up fine. I cleared the cookies and history, but, it still is slow when I type. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Go into your settings and go to keyboard. You might have to check the ""key repeat rate.""

I think that's what it's called.

Do not see that under keyboard?

Mine is doing the same. I think it's due to the recent software update. My safari is being super glitchy, as well. I'm not happy.

Do a power off, hold down the power button until you get the prompt, then power on.

Re start the i pad and try to hook the keyboard up again. Not sure I am making sense, but I hope you understand

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Maybe others can chime in if they also are experiencing this.

I have an ipad2 and it is behaving the same....""sticky"" keyboard typing like when I change to a different website. I asked my friend who is a software engr and owns Apple products and he said his ipad is also behaving like this. He said that Apple will most likely be issuing future updates to correct these and other issues. The iOS8 was a major upgrade. I'm not happy either but we can only wait and see for now.

I was having all kinds of problems with my iPad and had to reset it to the factory settings to get it to work properly.

Here's how I did it.

The first step to reset your iPad is to go into the iPad's settings. This is the icon that looks like gears. On the left-hand side of the settings, choose the General settings and scroll down the page until you see "Reset". This is the last option in the general settings.

IMPORTANT:If you do not want to erase any data you will want to choose the first option: Reset All Settings. This will leave the data (music, movies, contacts, etc.) but reset the preferences.

It worked for me. It didn't remove anything from my iPad, but I had to reset my preferences. My iPad works better and is just like new.

Thanks! I will give this a try when back on my iPad. I am on my HP computer now and everything works fine, so I know it is something going on with iPad only.
