iOS 7 on iPad 2

[acostapimps]

I'm in no hurry to upgrade (and probably never will till the next upgrade fix with a big maybe) since I'm still on 5.1, and enjoying a great battery life, since I bought it new on ebay when my previous one got the screen shattered and was not to fond with that one, when I upgraded to 6.0 then 6.1 I had issues battery wise and wifi also, Now with the replacement it's like a brand new iPad (which technically it is) With software that works for me. Of course I won't be able to download apps that require iOS 6 or later but that's fine by me when all I want is a iPad that last me longer on battery, when I'm browsing and watching videos without worrying about battery and wifi and on screen keyboard issues.

My brother took his in for something and they upgraded it while he was there. His iPad is definitely definitely slower and uses the battery up faster....noticeably so. I do not intend to upgrade mine until an updated version comes out. There are probably fixes and things he could do and WILL do to make it better like dimming the screen or turning off some GPS stuff....but why buy trouble??? My old 6.1.3 does me just fine for now and personally I like the screens I have now and don't see anything IOS7 gives me to make it worth the trouble. He now has to wait and wait for a web page in Safari to load..... Definitely slower than before the upgrade...JMHO anyway.

I have just updated to IOS7 but when I have opened camera there is no option to video, can anyone help?

Yah there should be three words on the right hand side of the live photo view. One is video. You have to slide up. I did some videos and they are huge files. Mine were like several gigs just for one meeting I tried to record. And it looks like a windows environment to me. I have to dig in time capsule because it erases all my app information and it doesn't let you revert to a back up to ios6. Believe me I thought I tried. It eliminates the revert back. And then it says everything is in the cloud. But there's no browser cloud access to individual apps and they don't come back on on the update. That's a crazy thing to to to people who are so dependent on the cloud. I thought if I had problems installing there would be a way to access iTunes for old versions of iBooks and PDFs like for PDF expert. Now if I go into time machine I'm not sure where to look for day one journal entries.

My only problem is on my IPAD Mini all of my msn, and hotmail accounts have 4,000 + new email notifications that are from old email? How do i get rid of those without trying to go through all of those emails? My IPHonE 5 went just fine?

.

You have to go to bottom of the mail bar after hitting edit at the top. Choose mark all as read. That is so annoying when they keep downloading and downloading. It's not like it's a new device.

Good evening! Does anyone know why certain apps such as Google & You Tube want access to the microphone on my iPad?

We'll I imagine because you can use google talk, or record video to YouTube.

Try a reset of your iPad and see if this makes a difference.
Hold the power off button and the home button simultaneously, keep holding them in and you may see the power off slide appear and disappear, wait until you see the Apple logo appear before releasing the buttons. It will take a little longer for your iPad to start. Let us know how you go.

Well I took the plunge and upgraded yesterday and am very pleased with the result. My iPad has not slowed down at all and in fact I think some apps are faster than before. The only problem is that I can't link my iPhone as it now requires an upgrade to iTunes to link. Not a major problem and I will update later when I have access to a wiFi connection. I think the things that my iPad is missing rank more in the nice to have than in the can't live without it category.
I like the visual impact of ios7 .

I hate it..... They removed things and it looks stupid.... The looks are not an improvement

 

[shibbu sharma]

Yess mark devoll it look stupid not so good
According to me ios6 is best

 

[Ickleoois]

I don't like the look of it but suppose will have to get used to it. It seems faster so far and less glitchy. Icons look awful. The ones at the bottom used to have a 3 d effect sat on a shelf now it is all very cheap looking.

Q where is the volume/brightness control panel you used to be able to get by double clicking and swiping right? Used that a lot. Im lost without it.

Thanks

Sweep from the VERY BOTTOM (where the glass starts) upwards. This will bring up the new Control Panel which replaces the way it was done in iOS 6 and older.

Put your finger right at the bottom of the screen and swipe up.
