There’s no life in my iPad
Apple recently released iOS9 and I for one, don’t usually update my devices immediately. I would wait a couple of months, read some reviews before I make any decision to update.
Now this time, I don’t know why I decided to update my iPad Mini. Oh boy. Upsets the hell out of me!
Both my iPhone5S and iPad Mini are still on iOS7.12, foregoing the last release iOS8 and I was happy with things the way they were. So again I must say I really don’t know what got the better of me and updated the iPad Mini.
It left me annoyed, upset and frustrated because my iPad crashed, died and was rendered useless, if only for a few hours. Yes, I was lost without my games. Somewhere along the download, either the connection line dropped or the jump from iOS7.12 to iOS9 was not stable, it caused the update to be disrupted. My iPad initially looked fine but it was not.
It jumped between its state of being turned on to the Apple icon and the download bar but the bar was frozen; it did not move. Unstable in other words. Initially, I could still play my games, read some news but when the switches occurred again, I thought if I did a complete shut down and switched it back on again, maybe things would right itself .
Hah. That was where I got it wrong. I could not even turn it on, reset, continue to update or restore. Uh oh… What have I done?
So I fixed it in the office thinking the home connection could be the culprit. To cut the technicalities, I managed to revive my iPad but at a price. Lost everything on it but thank goodness, the photos and whatever notes I had on it were not that critical, so I can live with this. The most annoying was the hassle of putting back my games and music. And Mail setup was the most tedious and now, after all that hassle, I find the iPad laggy. It’s so slow!!! Aaargh… so annoying when the candies drop in almost a slow motion.
Hrmph… looks like I won’t be updating my phone just yet and will definitely let things be for now. No more unnecessary updates if I can help it!
