  The latest IOS 8 update is causing a lot of agro on IPads. There are many users complaining that it is impossible to upload photographs and attachments via Safari. I have experienced this even when I tried other browsers, so it seems to be a fault whichever one you use. It is quite a large update and requires a lot of memory when installing too which has led to many complaints of crashing and freezing.
  
  It also noticeably slows down the processor..........enhancements.....bah! Back to the Windows laptop for me!
  
  I would strongly recommend anyone offered this update to hold off untill all the glitches have been fixed!

  Updates can be a real pain, my Windows 7 can occasionally throw a wobbler after installing updates.

  The recent Apple iOS update for their tablets and 'phones has caused many users varying degrees of headaches so I thought it would be worth a 'nose' around the system.
  
  There are quite a few tweaks worth making which I have found improve speed and/ or battery life.
  
  Barrie's unwanted free U2 download which I suggested banishing to the cloud, can be removed.

  Many applications are turned on by default which not everyone requires and some are down right intrusive and send info to Apple re searches and even your location is updated and passed on as you move around.
  
  Have a look here to see what you might feel you don't need to use regularly or want to share.
  
  Settings>Privacy>Location services>system services.
  
  The screen shot shows what I personally have set my iPad to do but obviously it will vary according to your usage. If you turn off something that you find that you later need it can be turned on again quite easily.
  
  Just a thought.

  No problems here with ios8 - both iPad and phone working perfectly - I always update via iTunes rather than direct, that way you never experience the 'lack if space' or crashes.
  
  Also the upcoming OSX 10.10 Yosemite update is a great update everything on my 3 Macs zooms along, in fact it's so fast at times it's too fast - and that's only on the Beta!
  
  Been running it for about 3 months as my primary OS - excellent free upgrade IMHO.
