IPadOS 17.7.8 causing issues on my IPad Pro 10.5 inch

Any way I can roll back to a previous version of iPadOS? I would be willing to pay for a 3rd party tool to do it. My 12” iPad Pro is useless now😢

Rolling-back to an earlier version of iOS/iPadOS is not possible.

All System Updates are digitally signed by Apple - and can only be installed whilst the digital signatures remain valid. After release of a new iOS/iPadOS version, the immediately preceding version continues to be digitally signed by Apple - however, usually within a few days, Apple will revoke the digital certificate with which the earlier version is signed.

If Apps no longer work properly following update to a more recent version of the OS, you’ll need to seek assistance from the related App Developer - as only they can resolve issues with their App.

Perhaps consider that iOS/iPadOS updates include both functional and essential security updates. Restoring an earlier version of the OS would undermine the security of your device and your personal data.

Starting at the Genius Bar is always a good option - as the initial diagnostics are without cost. If the problem can be easily remedied, it will cost you nothing but your time.

If a hardware fault is identified that the technicians cannot immediately rectify, the device can be sent for repair directly.

Should you choose to do so, you can also send your device for repair yourself:

Wish I read this earlier. It was working, but today it suddenly stopped, especially with acrobat reader, which I need for my research -_-

How? I can't see any new software updates...

Did you try restore your iPad to factory settings and set it up as a new device afterwards?

Although most online reports seem to indicate that 17.7.8 addresses the issues introduced by 17.7.7, I'm refraining from updating my iPad Pro 10.5 inch from 17.7.6 because of your post. Can you post again when/if you find a fix?

Hey, guys. Sounds like you’re not alone — 17.7.8 seems to be causing major connectivity and login issues for some users.

The “Connection is Not Private” warning usually points to a certificate or HTTPS validation bug, and the constant sign-outs suggest something’s wrong with how the system is storing login/session data.

Since you’ve already tried a network reset and different Wi-Fi, you might need to either reinstall the update via iTunes/Finder.

Definitely worth reporting to Apple Support so they can log it as a known issue.

I hope the above methods will be helpful to you.

I’m seeing other users report the same issue on iPadOS 17.7.8. The “Connection is Not Private” message usually means a certificate problem, and the constant logouts suggest the update isn’t saving sessions correctly.

Since you already tried Network Reset and different Wi-Fi, the next step is to reinstall the update using Finder or iTunes. If that doesn’t work, a full restore might be needed: https://support.apple.com/HT201252

It’s also a good idea to contact Apple Support so they can note this bug.

Did you already restore your iPad to factory settings and set it up as a new device, without using the latest backup?

Try shuting it down

Of course - this was the first thing I did. I do it after every iOS update. Then I did a full factory reset. Problem is still there. I can’t even go to www.Google.com without Safari saying it doesn’t trust the website. Can’t log into any app that requires a third party login.

I haven't tried this yet but same all my streaming, web browsers are not working -- barely usable for any entertainment or web searching. I'll be calling apple next. It doesn't appear anyone hear so far has the fix :(

Anyone had any update on this? I similarly updated this morning and now basically the thing is useless. I can’t even get it to load Outlook as a webpage let alone connect to the Mail app, and other apps have lost it too. What a joke. Any news from Apple on a fix so we can use the things we paid for?!

I have same issues with my iPad Pro 10.5 which has been updated to 17.7.8 today, first ,I found my WeChat mini programs doesn’t work any more, and friends circle images can’t be shown…it shows there are security certificate has issues …; but basic functions still workable; I have tried to update with WeChat to latest version, recovery Wi-Fi settings , all the suggestions from the AI , it still doesn’t work and make me very frustrated!
