Step by step Video Your Apple device is still running slowly ...?

Is your iPad or iPod slow in responding? Working with the orderbird app is painfully slow? This may be due to your Apple device's memory being overfilled. Proceed as follows to clear the memory:

Step by step

  1. Make sure that your Apple device is unlocked.
  2. Press and hold the On/Off button until the "Power off" screen is displayed.
  3. Now press and hold the Home button until you return to the home screen of your Apple device.

The memory of your Apple device is now empty, and working with the orderbird app should run smoothly again.
