<p>I know 8.0 is out- with all it’s issues. But I never did the last update or two, but would like to now. But when I go to “updates” it only shows 8.0. Is there a way to mp download the previous updates and not 8.0???</p>
<p>I always dread updating. Got screwed once when I didn’t realize I needed to back up so much. Now with the cloud on it should all be backed up there right? No need to back up to iTunes?? I checked and cloud is on and there is plenty of space. </p>
<p>bumping for the morning crowd. :)</p>
<p>Which ios is your ipad currently running?</p>
<p>8.0 is not the problem. It was 8.0.1 that had issues. It seems like they fixed issue and cane out with 8.0.2 this morning. I don’t know if it’s different on iPad but for iPhone, I could update without backing up again in iCloud.</p>
<p>Still though, 8 is making my ipad 3 VERY slow.
I wouldn’t upgrade a 2 to ios 8.</p>
<p>Oh, I see it runs differently for iPads. On my i5s, it runs a lot faster than ios7. The response is instant.</p>
<p>I really prefer not to download any 8.whatever. I believe the current version I have is 6.0. </p>
<p>Not sure how well the iPad2 would do with the 8.whatever. </p>
<p>I don’t think you can upgrade to 7 from 6.
7 came out a yr ago I think, and it also caused some problems at the time, although there were then several incremental upgrades to deal with it.

<p>Doesn’t have to be “7” - just anything more than 6.0, less than 8.whatever. </p>
<p>Conversely, if anyone downloads 8.02 on their ipad2, let me know how it goes!</p>
<p>I have a 16G ipad2 v. IOS7 and was told I will need 7G or so of free space to download/install Ios8. The operating system takes 3G or so to download then the other 4G to install! I will wait till I get back from my trip. It ain’t broken, no need to rock the boat!</p>
<p>I updated today, and had to temporarily delete a bunch of apps on my 16g to free up memory. Everything seems to be running fine though. </p>
<p>I have an iPad Air and wad told I needed 7G to download ios8. </p>
<p>Question…once I install iOS 8, will I be able to put my deleted apps back on this device? I have a 32.</p>
<p>Thumper, I think so. I have an older iPad and had to delete a lot of stuff to update but I was able to reinstall all of it once the update was finished.</p>
<p>If you plug your iPad/iPhone into iTunes, you won’t need to delete things–you only have the space requirements if you’re installing via wifi</p>
<p>Any problems with the update on the Ipad air? I am leary to do it if there are issues…</p>
<p>Two months later I finally updated - got fed up last night and just clicked the update button and hoped for the best. Woke up to a fresh, newly updated iPad 2 and all seems to be in it’s proper place - why didn’t I do this before??!</p>
