I upgraded my iPad yesterday and now everything is running very slow, including web page loading in safari.

I tried to update all the apps but now they are all waiting instead of going through the list and upgrading.

Many apps will now not work, even the app store is just blank now, and most of my photo albums appear empty, 350 photos instead so many thousands.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what's happening,mand how do I get things going properly again.

Some of it might be to do with the new iOS 5 synching efficiencies.  Instead of having to wait, you can now use your device while some synching activities are taking place.  This could be the cause of your lack of photos.  If you disconnected early, thinking that the first initial sync was complete, then you may need to reconnect back to iTunes and let it finish fully.

Did the upgrade go through smoothly, was it interrupted or did it take an unusually long time? Did you get any error messages part way through, if so what did they say?

 

If at first you don't succeed - try the installation again, and again if necessary. This is common practise with software, sometimes it takes several install attempts to get it working right.

All sorted now.
The reason for the slow speeds in the internet was because I exceeded a "fair use" policy in my Vodafone account. I can only use up to 2gig per day then they throttle the speed after that. After they sped it up for me the same thing happened the next day, until they sped it up again the following day……. Time to change my plan I think.
The problem with lost photos etc was because I disconnected from PC before the upgrade was finished, reconnecting and waiting for the upgrade finished message finally did the trick. The full upgrade does take a long time to eventually complete.

Thats good it's sorted. You said everything was running slow, but what you meant was only internet speed.

It goes without saying that you will have problems if you disconnect your device before the installation is complete!!!
