Mine acts as if the screen is frozen.

Not to go off in a different direction, but have you guys noticed your iPads acting weird since the latest update? I've had weird things happen visually and just now, I was listening to a song and it wouldn't respond, at all, to hitting the pause button on the included player.

Safari gives me the exact same thing that Yahoo does in that there is “stuff” taking up 1/3 of the screen on the left. I never found a way to get rid of it on Yahoo and I don’t see a way to get rid of it on Safari. I want a full screen and I get that using Google and Chrome.

Is using Google stuff that bad? Will Safari eliminate what Chrome is giving me? It’s Chrome suggesting articles but then filling the pages with ads.

It’s a consideration but I have always heard Safari is weaker and nothing to write home about. Thanks.

I use Google Chrome as my iPad search Engine. When I click on the Chrome icon, I'm shown articles I might like. If I click on an article, it is so full of ads that I have a very hard time reading it. If I look for Chrome ad blockers for the iPad, the AI assistant that looks things up for you...

I don’t know if it is an update concern, but I’m finding I have to hit buttons and icons twice for them to work on many sites I go to. Anybody else having this annoying problem? Thanks.

I have finally realized that when it wants my Apple password, it’s usually because they are pushing an update through. I don’t want the extra authentication, so, I opt out. You can skip it by hitting Do Not Use 2 step authentication. Just follow the prompts to not do what they want. You may have...

Again, it tells me NOTHING about why it wants the password. It asks, I put in my KNOWN password and it never accepts it. Then, when given the choice, I receive an email where I put in the exact same password, and it accepts it and, supposedly, resets my password. I ask for the email because it...

All of this is GREAT stuff! Whowouldathunk?

An observation: There are times when the silly thing wants my password toward the end of the month. Might it be to authorize Apple to take the 99 cents charge for iCloud storage? No matter why it is asking, the fact that it does not accept my KNOWN password is insane. It would help a LOT if it...

I'll have to give that a try. Thanks.

Not entirely about this specific problem, but, with 15.1, what’s with the numbers and symbols on the alphabetic keyboard? You have to use the number keyboard to get to them, so, what good are they on the regular alphabetic keyboard? If they wanted to be helpful/ useful, they could have somehow...

My wife has the same version iPad and has the same version of IOS. She plays games that require her to enter her ID and she doesn’t have the password request problem. She inputs her ID often enough that it must satisfy the system requirements. When an update to the IOS comes through, it lets me...

It asks you how you want to update your password. I choose to do it by email because when I try to answer the challenge questions, it doesn't like my answers just like it never likes my password when I first put it in!! It sends me an email where I put in the same darned password and it suddenly...
