Fbetes,

Forgive my ignorance. How do you obtain a crash report? Safari in all of our iPad 2's is completey unusable. I would like to open a support case and provide some diagnostic information as you've done but don't know where to find the crash report. Thanks.

Settings, General, About, Diagnostics & usage, Diagnostics & usage data

There you can check the bug report...

Happens consistently with Safari on iPad 1 after iOS 5 update. Doing complete restore did not help. Doing restore but not installing non-default apps didn't help either.

- My iPad is not jailbroken

- happens on all websites: Apple, Flickr, Google image search results, etc.;

- happens when Safari is only running application

Crash logs show out of memory errors.

(At least Apple can't blame the crashes on Flash LOL)

Doing complete restore did not help. Doing restore but not installing non-default apps didn't help either.

Sorry, it's not clear to me... have you restored as new (without your backup) to get a factory fresh device?

Also try clearing Safari's History, Cookies, and Cache.

Have iPad 1 and just think IOS 5 is over whelming for the older hardware. I have found Safari to be stable until it starts having to work hard. Then it seems to crash and close. I think the A4 is just being over stressed by IOS 5.

Wished I could go back to IOS 4. Its made my iPad and older iPod Touch unusable.

Unfortunately same problem: update IOS 5 Ipad 1 Safari crashes constantly. Many hours spent during last 2 weeks to find solution. Today total set back to original settings failed too. Impossible to watch Youtube. Diagnose: constant low memory. After enjoying my ipad for 11 months this is quite disappointing. Wish I could go back to IOS4. Apple: please find solution!

Turning off bookmarks sync in iClud seems to have made things better - for the first time ever, NUmbers starts without first crashing.

Hi Paul,

Here's what I did to restore: I connected my iPad to computer, opened iTunes, went to the iPad under "Devices" in left menu, then clicked the "Restore" button.

Also, clearing history, cookies, cache, and "website data" didn't help - it still crashes.

I have an iPad 2 with iOS 5 and I'm getting the same symptoms. I expect it to crash before. Fingers crossed!

... Befoe I finish typing this, is what I meant to say.

I am experiencing the same exact issue on my ipad original. I called Apple support today and explained that the issue was this: "I have not had a single problem with Safari crashing ever until iOS5. Now it crashes randomly and constantly." I asked if this was a known issue, the tech I spoke with said it was not a known issue and has never heard of it happening before. I have never talked to Apple support before, but I guess they don't research their forums before speaking, since the title of this thread is exactly the problem I was describing on the dime.

His response to my problem, was to clear cookies, saved data, and history. He said he was pretty confident this would fix the issue. 3 hours later. Safari has crashed several times. I really wish they would acknowledge this problem and get us an update or a roll back.

If anyone gets a solution that actually works for the original iPad let us know. I am going to call back tomorrow and give them my case number and reference this thread for evidence that the problem does exhist and is probably going to be growing.

Ipad1 iOS 5 here. Safari constantly crashes. Have a feeling that safari is stable on my 4S but the battery is always dead. At least I am getting my Lion issues sorted out and can surf on the Mac.

Not happy,

Fred

Everyone,

Please report your problem, "Safari crashes after upgrading iPad original to iOS 5", to Apple using Apple's official feedback form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

The more we report this the better chance Apple will fix it.

Thanks.

I have been having this same problem, on the ipad 2. My father's ipad 2 wasn't how ever.

I think the reason safari keeps crashing is because of icloud, i had this on my ipad. I have deleted the account, restarted ipad and the internet seems to be working fine.

My solution is to delete icloud till apple arrange a fix.
