iPad Safari crashing regularly

that page clearly uses some framework to display the items. what framework is it? can you provide more information about how you built it?

The primary crashing issues if you go back in the thread were fixed in iOS 5.1. I can still crash my safari occasionally but toggling private browsing mode on and off may make a difference.

I suggest contacting apple support and asking for a DFU restore, or to send it back and have it reflashed.

oh, I forgot. the third-party apps must be updated before a restore. and, you should do any operations via USB, not over the air.

Mr; Katz: the oviously site uses the masonry or isotope frameworks under jquery. The site, when pinch zoomed, crashes both old and new mobile safari on multiple devices, but works fine on all known android and desktop browsers. The iOS crash log generally shows 'out of memory'. even on a new iPad Air with plenty of memory and the iPhone 5. I have uploaded crash logs to the apple developer bug report system. I've only tested a dozen or so devices, but have never met an iOS device that it would not crash: http://www.obviously.com/

Does this help?

Post to the Apple developer forums.

Post back if you find a solution.

No.

And note that no matter what a particular website does (the above listed one included), Safari should never crash. It's not obligated to work or look good, but it should not crash.

You seem fairly smart. I admire your principled stance. However, what they are doing on the ipad is really hard. I'd be happy to talk to you about it more. But, please take a look at this thread.

They recommend using display:none; to tell the browser not to display specific elements.

Stack Overflow is an excellent resource. Use it.

This Web site is not crashing my iPhone 5S.

Could this be font corruption on a device?

I too agree that yes the IPAD-1 did everything we needed and pleased with the unit. But as usual I want to make sure I get all that I can out of a unit before I retiure it to my tool box as a specialty tool and we will upgrade accordingly, nothing last forever, or it does but becomes limited as Technology moves forward.

I can understand the memory problem on IPAD-1. I saw that in the diagnostic logs. I appreciate someone pointing out it's the Websites, now that makes sense.

Does any of the other Browsers reduce the memory problem like Chrome or something else or a way to limit the Browser from Crashing in it setup options?

.

I also have access to excellent software/hardware Engineers, (superGeeks), for tablets and phones. Is there any hardware mod that can make this better., (within reason).

I just want to check if there is:

1. different app the will have less crashes than Safari

2. Any setting that alert or stop the website from executing and crashing

3. Have to ask, any hardware change.

4. Don think so but I have to ask, (don't recomment), if jailbreak provides any gain regarding this problem.

Thanks for ready this.

Software engineernig best practice for "out of memory" is to put a message stating the same to the user (once all fallback positions, like unloading inactive background tasks, is done). "Crashing" is not the right answer. If you scroll back in this thread you'll see easy ways to crash mobile safari that don't affect other browsers.

I know personally I ended up exchanging my ipad mini retina three times since my safari kept crashing randomly. I found that the ipad mini retina space gray ipad mini was crashing every day but since I got my third ipad mini retina that is silver, I only had one crash and I did a restore and I haven't had a crash since I got a new color. I also noticed some of the newer ipad mini retinas have the latest ios 7 update on them so maybe they are more stable than the ipad mini retina that came with ios 7.0.3. The ipad mini retina silver that I have now came with 7.0.4 and it works better and seems more responsive and faster than the previous ipad mini retina that were space gray that I had. I'm not sure if this will solve anyone's issue, but if your in the return period of your device, I would try exchanging the ipad for a different color and see if it resolves your safari crash issue like it did mine.

You're serious?

I'm sick of my IPad crashing ,,if you open a post in Facebook it will crash every time ,,,I'm sick of ppl saying that there nothing wrong with Apple iPads ,,,they all crash ,,,every one of them ...Apple has ripped ppl off and will not fix this problem it been going on for years now ,,,and still ppl think it's ok .it can't be fixed lets face it ..I have a iPad that crashes all the time ....Im sick of it ,, you can't get help but then again there is no help .... Feling very frustrated with Apple

My iPad 3 doesn't crash on Facebook and neither does my significant other's iPad 4.

5 week old ipad Air 32GB wifi continually crashes using safari, usually happens when I have over 5 tabs open. Ive tried everyting mentioned on this thread and did a complete factory restore last night but nothing helps.

Want to return to John Lewis for a refund but they dont refund "faulty goods" they repair only. Not happy.

Apple, look at how long this thread it already. The problem will be bigger than this thread, imagine how many people have this problem but stay quiet. Get your finger out and fix this bug!

Along with the Jelly splash pop up issue Im suffering I really wish I hadnt just spent over £1000 on Apple kit and wont do again after my current 5s and Ipad Air hit 2yrs old.
