Hello,

My iPad 3 has been loading slow and sluggish ever since (from what I can gather) updating to IOS7. A number of my apps are also closing themselves down while I'm using them. I've tried holding down the home button and power button and I'm not even using half of my 64GB memory. So I've decided to try a restore to default, but before I do I have a question.

If I backup my iPad and then do the restore to default, if I then apply this backup to my newly restored iPad, won't whatever (say for example there was some sort of glitch in my settings or software, etc) return to my iPad in that backup?? If that be the case, wouldn't it be better for me to just manually reinstall my apps? I don't mind doing that, it wouldn't take me long.

Thanks everyone, this sluggish slowness and app crashing/closing situation is scaring me senseless, I'm worried there's something seriously wrong with my iPad, like if its damaged inside in some way! Any help would be really appreciated!
