Back in April, Apple confirmed an iPad iOS 8.4 update for all iPad models capable of running the iOS 8 operating system. At the time, the company did not outline a specific release date for the software only that it could be coming with a revamped version of the Music application.
At WWDC, Apple revealed iOS 9 but it also announced a new Apple Music platform tied into the iOS 8.4 update. It bestowed a June 30th release date onto Apple Music though it neglected to confirm an official iOS 8.4 release date for the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
In late June, the company announced plans to release the iOS 8.4 update on June 30th alongside Apple Music and right on cue, the two hit iOS 8 users around the world.

I have a iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.4. Just discovered that in my iBooks in the PDF Lib. I had created different Lib for PDF documents that I down load. And I had moved those documents to the new Lib from the PDF Lib. Now after I updated to 8.4 all of the PDF documents are showing up back into the PDF lib in addition to the new Lib that I had moved them to. If I delete it in the PDF lib it is gone in my custome Lib also. I used to keep Misc. PDF documents in my PDF folder now every PDF I have downloaded is back in that Lib. A real mess. It has taken me considerable amount of time in the past to organize these documents now I don’t have a clue wher to start.

I am being prompted to update to 8 every day. Are the “bug fixes” they promise worth risking any system problems, and what are the bugs being fixed?
