Ok, I'm not computer stupid. I've built websites that are still in use today (don't really build them any more though), I'm good at graphic design, desktop publishing, excel, etc, etc, but for some reason, my brain just didn't think of the obvious recently.
My iPad kept taking longer and longer to load programs and I couldn't figure out why, so I finally started doing some research. The first site went through the usual stuff I'd already tried, then finally something I read clicked my mind into gear.
I have the biggest, and best iPad2 that was sold back then, knowing that I didn't want to buy again for several years. I have thousands of pics, videos, and music on my iPad, plus I'm an app junkie: if I find a free app that I'm interested in, I'll download it and check it out. Remember, I'm a cheap bastard!
Well I'm pretty sure I figured out my problem. I went in and deleted all the apps I'm not longer using, thus freeing up a lot of space and resources. So far it's like the difference between driving a 1967 VW Bug and any sports car today. So if your iPad (or smart phone for that matter) seems to be bogging down, check how much space you have available and possibly get rid of junk you no longer need or use. Besides, you still have them in your iTunes and can reload them anytime you want to. Just an FYI for those who either went brain dead (like me) or simply need to be pointed in a different direction. Peace out!
iPad running slow?
