iPad Safari crashing regularly

Safari on my iPad is crashing fairly frequently; sometimes when I restart it retains the pages that were previously open, and sometimes not.

Have not yet established a pattern, but it seems prevalent on very large pages (for example pages with many images) and on pages with embedded video (particularly Flash).

Anyone else experiencing the same issue and/or have any further information? Anybody using a browser other than Safari on the iPad?

Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Eqpt: Original OLD iPad, 64mb.


I have same problem. Although my crashes have now developed a pattern. (Example: editing a listing on eBay always causes crashing at exactly same spot, over and over.)


I have spoken to "AppleCare" numerous times. Everything they seems to help at the time, but soon after I encounter new websites that causes new crashes.


I finally took my iPad to APPLE STORE and gav the problem to a GENIUS to solve. He prayed over my Pad, spoke some technical mumbo jumbo, went to the BACK ROOM, reformatted my iPad and declared my AppleCare Coverage void because I had dented the aluminum back when dropped on carpet.


I guess the definition of AppleCare is: You have coverage until something goes wrong, than we find a scratch, or dent and declare your coverage VOID because you are to be punished for not being perfect.


Problem unsolved!

I hate to be such a Dufus, but what is a DFU restore?


And when you go home to reinstall your applications, music, and all your life's work from your IMAC's Safari, what exactly are you NOT SUPPOSED TO DO?


Thanks for slowing down a bit.

Happens ALL the time to me as well. Same circumstances, especially with Facebook. It starts loading the page and when it is almost finished back to the home screen I go. If I stop the loading right before the end, it doesn't crash.

Tried a restore with a new setup, reset network settings, no difference.

I am currently using atomic browser and perfect browser and I can't get them to crash in the same pages, they work flawlessly

Any ideas?

Same problem here and it's becoming excessively annoying and frustrating. Each Time I surf with safari it comes accross a website that will make it crash. In this case if I restart it 5 or 6 times it eventually ends up loading the page. But sometimes it will crash constantly.
The latest site I came accross that systematically crashes safari is : www.livebooks.com
