My iPad2 is rubbish since last security download
Since the last download, the screen locks up. A loud voice itemised all the software on my iPad and I couldn't shut it up. I cannot access any of my software. Any ideas anyone???? I love my iPad and can't do without it. Is this an underhand way of making me buy a new one?

I know this isn't particularly helpful, but I just want to note that I also have a 2 and haven't had this problem, so at least it's not all 2s. Mine's a 16gb wifi only.
Wait, what ‘security’ download? You’re on iOS 7.1.1, right?
... A loud voice itemised all the software on my iPad and I couldn't shut it up...
huh???
huh???
Accessibility options. Alex (or maybe Siri does it now) will read off what’s on the screen for the visually impaired.
Thanks Tallest Ski. A much more helpful comment than 'Huh!'. The issue is an unresponsive screen which no longer responds to tapping or swiping. I suspect an elecro-mechanical fault rather than a software issue - but how do I know?? A new iPad Air will be 'winging' it to me shortly.
As I live in deepest Wales (UK), with no neighbours, let alone no Apple store in sight, my options for repair are limited - and an iPad 2 is after all an antique in Mac terms. I must stress that no neighbours + rural life and country walks is a pearl beyond price. AND the internet connection is fine!!!!
You could make a backup of your iPad and see if the behaviour you're experiencing now is still there after a restore. If so, install the iPad as a new one and restore apps + data afterwards.

Thanks for the advice O helpful one. I will try that. My new iPad Air did wing it's way to me today as promised and I have installed it, but I will try to do as you advised. It couldn't hurt to have two iPads, one for work in the day,
and another to have by my bedside to write when I can't sleep at night.
