CT issues with older ipad??

My iPad is on version 14.6 with no such problems although in recent times I’ve needed to reboot to clear website crashing issues. As you say highly unusual for IOS. Display issues are fairly commonplace. I had difficulty booking my day 2 & 5 Covid tests as half the buttons failed to display on the iPad but perfectly ok on the iPhone also running 14.6

Sorry can’t help BB, I replaced my old iPad in January and that was running iOS 10 point something. As you mention many websites refused to work with it and as I do use it for day to day computing it had to go. Shame as it was still working fine. Although did lock up and need a hard reset periodically. What I thought particularly poor is that I couldn’t even access the Apple shop to look for another one. The OH has an oldish iPad mini on iOS 12 and apple are still sending updates for that, despite now being about to release 15. So hopefully are learning from their mistakes of stopping servicing earlier systems.

thanks, both....yes i realise its undoubtedly the age of the operating system, although in some cases now, the fast development of some websites (tho surely not CT.....) require much faster graphics (incl hardware) capability which causes many of the usual 'wont work' issues.

like Steve, i find it annoying that theres no backwards compatibility with many of the developments, making older kit obsolete at a stroke...

ill have to bite the bullet too......or give CT a miss

having said that, ive just been out shopping for an hour or so and it was still 'up' when i got back.....not accepted cookies yet...annoyingly, the banner takes up 25% of the screen!

I've also had problems with an old iPad (Series 2, I believe).  Not just with this website but with others - and then it eventually died and from 'research' I did on my iPhone (we were away at the time), it looked as if it was terminal.

So - I went out and treated myself to a new Macbook Air and, like my iMac at home, is running Big Sur 11.4 - the latest software.  Really pleased with it - but here's a strange thing.....

If I log onto CT with anything other than the Macbook, every time I switch that device off, I'm automatically logged out of CT and have to log in again next time I want to use it. That I regard as normal.

Not so with the Macbook - everytime I switch it on, I'm still logged into CT.  Not that bothered about it, but I am intrigued as to why.  It doesn't happen with any other website that requires a log-in,  so it must be a quirk of this website.

Mine is iPad Air2 running ios14.6. I’ve had a couple of 'black outs' recently and had to reboot the pad. They've not been linked to use of CT though. I’ve had no such problems using my Android phone.

I'll be careful here but I have noticed older Apple products start to play up when newer versions become available. My iPhone SE (first edition) became hopeless after one of the big updates when SE (new edition) was announced. Make what you will of that.🤷🏻‍♂️

R&R, I find on the Pad I get logged out of CT every time I navigate away to another site on a different tab even though I leave CT open. It's flaming annoying to have to login so often. It didn’t used to be this way but started happening a few months ago following one of the bigger tweaks to the website. Again, it doesn’t happen on my Android phone which stays logged in until I close the CT tab.

That is weird! I actually close all tabs before coming out of Chrome altogether but then, after shutting the MacBook down and going back to it - perhaps in a few days time, I'm still logged into CT.  Just can't understand it, but as I said, not a problem as such.

Just digressing - this new MacBook with the Apple M1 chip is lightning fast - much faster than my iMac which uses the Intel i5 chip. Really pleased with it.

I use Safari on the Pad but don't know if that accounts for it. I use Chrome on the phone.

That's interesting about the M1. Seems it lives up to its promises and I see it's used in the latest iPad Pro too. Using CT we need all the speed we can muster😋

Mine is ipad3 running 14.6 no issues other than it dismantles correct words & reissues them as gobbledegook-I think that’s Apple cheapening running gear/increasing profit margins🤷🏻‍♂️

the ipad has remained 'up' (although used very sparingly, incl CT) since my last 'update'...

ive refrained from clicking 'I accept' to the cookies mesage despite the banner looming large.

i may do this later and see what happens....my 'testing' os certainly NOT definitive and im basing my thoughts purely on what ive seen.....

if the ipad falls over fairly rapidly it'll will just be another clue.
