Q: iPad Safari crashing regularly

dear friend. this thread was started IN Jun 14, 2010 4 years ago!! because iPad 1 users were experiencing problems with safari

apple never recognized nor addressed these problems and latter ipads are suffering similar problems with similar non-addressing behaviour from the builder of the tablet

my venerable ipad 1 is relegated to low level cames such as solitaire or weather app

and I'm not very keen to come back to 'these threads' because I'm dismayed to see that our claims and troubles are not digested by apple, and even new apple users fall in the trap

I'm happy now with my LEOTEC low cost android phone, not planning to buy any apple hardware.

I completely agree. I used to come here more often. Now I just don't because the iPad is now for my kids to play, and I enjoy browsing without crashes in my Samsung Galaxy.

This may not be a popular reply but I have solved my iPad air issues = I have returned it for a refund.

After several yellow screen replacements with the air and issues with my previous iPad 3 purchase I'm choosing to wake up and move away from Apple. I've had an iPad and iPhone since day one and have really enjoyed the experience and quality up until now.

Apple have helped create new product markets since iphone 1 hit the shelves and for this I must thank them. But I must also burn them for poor quality control in recent years and some poor software updates, so I will vote with my wallet and look elsewhere for my mobile and tablet experience.

Good luck with future software updates (I mean this, I truly hope it fixes these bugs).

Sorry to all, I cannot find any solution anywhere to this and related problems.  Apple appears to have no solution and appears to be unconcerned.

I cannot post my real comments as mighty Apple censored my last post which contained nothing derogatory... just truth plain and clear.

Apple... If you have any solution, or can tell me how to stop my iPad from crashing several times a day, or how to roll back to previous versions of iOS and apps, please point me to the appropriate resource.

If anyone wants to read my solution (censored post) PM me.

Lots of luck everyone.

Hey last -iPad ..I got your rant ,,,I enjoyed it and feel the same way you do ...Apple will not fix the problem ..we hear the new iPad Air is doing the same thing some ppl don't have a problem and some ppl do ..all I know there is a problem and Apple need to find out how they can fix it

My venerable iPad 1 is going nowhere near my kids and works as well as it did when I first got it.

It doesn't crash all the time and I use the safari and mercury browsers.

I find the productivity apps like pages and keynote beat anything in ms office and there is no way I will ever use Win 8; when I replace my PC next year it will be with an iMac.

People here talk about "forced obsalescence" but I have kept my 2003 PC going so long that it has become a liability; I should have replaced it by now and it seems to me that the Apple model is more realistic and pragmatic.

When I said my crashing was getting worse with each update (and this is why I said that there was NO FEASIBLE WAY that they could affect me) I didn't mean the apps that I'm running I meant each OS update! 

The apps that I run don't get very many updates (if any) because, let's face it, who bothers with us old iPad 1 users anymore?  There's not much that can be downloaded onto an Original iPad anymore so I basically have everything I've been running since we were cut off at OS 5.1

But, come to think of it, Safari and iTunes DOES update ALL the time when I back up my iPad!  Nice of Apple to stop our OS updates (and yes, I know iPad 1 can't accommodate anything higher than 5.1) but keep on updating their OTHER precious apps like Safari and iTunes (why do these SUPPOSEDLY work with the iPad 1 or do they?)!

Sorry for venting but was really hoping Apple would have fixed the crashing problem by now!  Wouldn't it be "smarter" to FIX IT INSTEAD OF COMING OUT WITH NEW PRETTIER TABLETS?

"Sorry for venting but was really hoping Apple would have fixed the crashing problem by now!  Wouldn't it be "smarter" to FIX IT INSTEAD OF COMING OUT WITH NEW PRETTIER TABLETS?"

I work in the software and services industry. In my case it "prettier software". The sad truth is that sales drives development. Read Dilbert. It's ALL true.

Since I am in the services side, I am the one have to come up with the "workarounds" for the decades old deficiencies in our software ... the one underneath the pretty new buttons.

I tested obviously.com on my new but used ipad 3. I'd wager a guess that it has something to do with the Javascript on the page. It also extends beyond the width of the screen (we call this non-responsive.) Pinching and zooming re-scales the webpage and it may not be able to do this because it's using onscroll javascript events.

Turning on the web inspector under iOS 7 and using mac safari to check its output would be a useful debugging step. If the owner of the site wishes to debug, open a new thread.

I started having the same issues in the past couple weeks....last week was really bad.  I called Apple Support. He had me clear history and cookies and it has worked perfectly since. Hope that helps

We have three ipad Airs in the household. All three are experiencing crash problems. Never had this problem with our older iPads.  Crashes in Twitter, Chrome, Safari.  Doesn't seem to mater what the app is.  Sometimes mine does a reboot. Apple needs to get on top of this. I will be calling support to document the issue.

I'm getting the reboots, too, and a lot of Safari crashing. I've  been using various iPads since their inception but my new mini crashes in Safari several times a day and the rebooting is a real downer.

For what it's worth, my iPhone 5 does it, too, with Safari.

I followed a specific link that was provided a lot ealier in this thread as a known Safari crasher and I experienced the same crash as everone else. However, since then I have been using my ipad a lot, trying hard to replicate the crash that everyone is talking about, and I can't get it to happen. I don't know why my ipad isn't crashing, but I thought I should mention this.
