iOS 7 has really made things difficult for my iPad. It used to be fast and everything worked great. It's an iPad 3rd gen (Retina display) 32GB with Verizon.
It was incredibly slow after the update. Full on freezing when closing apps or opening them. The animation would get stuck half way through for several seconds. When I open the cover the screen would stay black, i'd hit the home button and it still wouldnt respond. After 20 seconds it would finally light up. I can be in an app and hit the home button and have to wait 3-5 seconds before it actually closes. I tried erasing everything and restored from the iCloud back up, it did the same thing right away. I erased everything again and started fresh (highly annoyed). It seemed to perform better today I noticed the slowness coming back. Now to the current issues:
I use my iPad to watch one of the many movies I've bought on iTunes. I set two SD movies to download and closed the cover. I opened the cover and found the ipad screen off and dealt with the same annoying issue I mentioned above, long waits for it to respond. When it did open up, it said "Could not download from iTunes store" or something. I checked my downloads and sure enough, they were restarting. I left it alone and opened it again to find they were still downloading an hour later. I knew that shouldnt be the case so I paused one to let the other finish. I noticed how the one I left to finish up had started over again. I cancelled it and started the paused movie, but it started over too. Any reason for this? Apple releases updates but they dont ever address these problems.
***update: I just noticed that this seems to happen only when I download more than one movie at once. I started each of the movies seperately and they downloaded no problem.***
I've noticed in Safari, ONLY when on wifi if I refresh my website/forum to check on it, it may not ever load. I have a wifi signal and other devices are working but my iPad WILL NOT load anything. I end up having to restart the iPad for it to start working again. This happens a couple times a week. I've reset my Time Capsule, modem and router (I use the Time Capsule as an access point). Nothing has fixed it.
Could there be something physically wrong with the iPad? Should I try to reset again and not use the iCloud back up again? Is this just a known issue?
