Weirdly, Apple started signing IOS 6.1.3 for the iPad2 again. I just restored my kid's iPad to it. Only about half their apps work, and I'm probably going to have to upgrade it back to 9.3.5, but holy poo poo, everything is so fast.

Colonel J posted:I have a friend who uses an iPad for campfire guitar chords, and I bought a cheap iPad off kijiji to do the same. The chords are in text files on dropbox. Do you really need syncing or will it be enough to get the files onto the iPad and then it will be fine? I'd suggest downgrading the iPad to IOS6, getting an old version of GoodReader or something on there, then syncing those files over manually.

IOS9 works on the App Store just fine. Dumb suggestion but have you tried turning it off and on again? Seriously.

I bought an Air2 when it was new and that was a pretty good buy. I have an Air1 secondhand and it's aged nowhere near as well.

What model iPad is it? If it's like an iPad2 I would junk it. If it's an iPad Air1 it's probably the oldest model still worth using. If it's an iPad Air2 or newer then it will do OK on IOS12. My phone is on 9.3 and all the google apps work fine.

You can always try it out, and see whether you can bear to use it or not. If you find it "useful but unusable" then that might be grounds to buy an iPad6. They're pretty cheap on discount.

Ah, I see the problem now. Bad guy Google requires IOS11 for their apps now. What you have to do it get another device and "buy" the app on your account. Then on your iPad when you try to download it, it will offer to download the old version that does work on IOS9. Edit: nope, that doesn't seem to be required anymore. I just tried to "get" google drive, which I do not have on my AppleID, and it let me do it. This is despite the app store page saying that it needs IOS11. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Apr 26, 2019 |

Xabi posted:For some reason my iPad can’t log on to the hotel Wifi but my iPhone will. It’s the type that is unsecured and then there’s a pop up where you have to confirm to yada yada yada. Why won’t the iPad connect? It fails even before the pop up. I'm sorry this isn't a helpful response but I went on holiday the last two weeks and got some godawful travel SIM that was shaped to 2 Mbps data speeds, so I connected to almost every known type of captive portal. They are universally terrible and almost never work reliably. Blargjh.

Krispy Wafer posted:So the cheapest iPad is now better than the first gen 2016 iPad Pro (A9x versus A10 - no idea of RAM yet) with all the same ports and capabilities. Screen and speakers are still better on the old Pro. iPad 6 already had the A10. The Pro 1 also has more RAM (4GB) in the 12.9" only.

iPad Pro2 is A10X with 4GB of RAM. iPad Air3 is A12 with 3GB of RAM. So the Air3 is probably not going to be better for longevity. Battery life will be better due to having a brand new battery with no cycles on it and the lower power CPU.

"X" is the Pro CPU signifier with more cores. You can try to find Geekbench results or whatever, but I'm assuming the A10X will be higher multi and the A12 will be higher single core performance. Not having enough RAM is usually what kills IOS performance and leads to annoyances like apps restarting as soon as you multitask out of them.

Seiyal posted:Is there any way to revert to an older iPadOS update if 13 is massively messing up an older iPad? They're trying to go back to 12.3.1 (They're on iPad 5) if possible but even with a backup, it's proving quite troublesome. They missed the boat by just a couple of days. They should probably try a complete restore from original firmware and starting from scratch. iPad 5 ought to be OK on 13.

IOS6 is being signed for iPad2 so you can downgrade without loving around. It's so fast. (But then you realise how much even 6 is missing compared to modern versions and it's really hard to get apps.)

stoopidmunkey posted:I have an iPad Pro 10.5 that I got for “reasons” but never use. My oldest is starting kindergarten in a couple weeks so I decided to give it to her. I made her a child account and reset the iPad then set it up with her credentials and all is working as intended. Apart from abcmouse are there any must have apps for 5 year olds? She’s getting a chrome book through school but we want to supplement with the iPad 5 is tough because as you probably already know they're too old for the baby games but not old enough to read well. Plus you have the problem that all mobile games are filled with crap like IAP that the child doesn't grok. Looking at my kid's iPad, she's not into much at the moment. Recently she has done Khan Kids (needs internet) and Teach Your Monster To Read. Games are Crossy Road (not quite capable enough for that yet), Toca School, and Dr Panda's Restaurant. Lately she is more into taking photos and sending them (with a billion emojis) to Mum/Me/Grandma/Older Cousin.

If you never deregister your phone number from iMessage it should still work just fine. But it does mean that when any Apple user tries to send a message to your phone number, it will come through as an iMessgae and your dumb phone will not receive anything.
