iOS 5 Crash Issues

I am having the same problem on my iPad2. Nearly every time I navigate to a new page, Safari crashes. I wonder if this is widespread.

I'm getting it in several apps and some which are supposed to have updates won't update. They just say "waiting".

Lots of Safari crashes.

Spent the last two days dealing with crashes. Not just on Safari but on CNN, Pulp, Pulse etc., I did a hard reset, I erased it, I restored it and eventually with tears hovering, I nuked it and did a clean install. Nothing worked. Over an hour on the phone to Apple Support yesterday who finally decided it was a hardware issue as I had already done everything they could recommend, and I should bring the iPad in for a replacement today.

However not one to give up easily and as my iPhone worked perfectly, I gave it one last shot (the Apple store is 100kms away). One of the few differences between my iPhone and iPad was the Tap! magazine in my Newsstand. I had bought it before ios5 and it had been automatically moved into Newsstand on the iPad BUT not on the iPhone. So, I unchecked Tap!, synced and Safari etc., all worked perfectly. Left it overnight, still working perfectly this morning. So just re-checked Tap!, downloaded the magazine and it's all working as it should. Given all that, I have to assume the fault was connected to Newsstand. About to cancel my appointment with Apple.

Safari and Engadget both crash constantly, and YouTube has crashed a couple of times. I don't think it's hardware, it's definitely ios 5 software issues.

I've not noticed any problems with mail on my iPad 1, but have had strange results in Safari with several websites. In particular, Safari has crashed while trying to pick a date on at least 3 different reservation sites, including Continental, American and Southwest Airlines.

I've also had issues with Safari when hitting the browser Back button. Several times, it's gone back to a site I visited 5+ locations back.

And, most frustrating, everything on my iPad runs exceedingly slow, whethers it's moving from one app to another, or how long it takes an app to perform an action, or how long it takes for Safari to render a page. I would guess an order of 3 to 10 times slower than immediately prior to ios 5 upgrade.

I hope Apple is listening to these posts and we get some fixes soon.

Same problem here. Since Ios5, many crashes not only in Safari but in other Apps. Using Ipad1. It's getting worst every day and my iPad is becoming slowing unusable :(

Same problems here. Safari and Flipboard seem particularly prone to the crashes. Never used to crash prior to iOS5 upgrade a few days ago. App Store is sluggish too. Using iPad 1.

Since Ios5, many crashes in Safari. Using Ipad1. It's getting worst every day, yesterday the safari app no longer works. !!!! I did a hard reset, I erased it, I restored it. Nothing worked. What can i do Apple??

I am having the same issue. My safari keeps "disappearing" and when I click on it again it takes forever to reload the page.

I am having the same issue. Since upgrading my ipad 1is now very slow. It hangs often and all kinds of apps are crashing. I did a reset today but that isn't helping. It is an IOS 5 issue in my opinion.

I hope Apple is listening!!

Safari App: I have been having a same issues with gen 1 ipad. Also, since the ios5 upgrade, text responce in safari lags. By this I mean that text on screen does not follow the speed of physical typing. Makes you feel like you are using a slow virtual manchine.

Music App: I have also experienced performance problems with the new music app. At times when you try to select a song, nothing happens and other times the music plays but the main app screen just goes empty of any information. The app background still remains.

Newsstand: Says I have (1) update avail. If you go into the app, there is nothing to update. Cannot get rid of the update icon to save my life.

I like some of the new feautes, but I'd probably trade back to OS4 just to get my performace back. Reminds me of the days of Vista.

I just had a problem with Music. It showed the song that was playing but I coul not link to Playlists, Albums, etc. I finally powered down and when I restarted, all was ok with Music

I am having the same issue with Safari running extremely slow and I can't get into the App Store at all. Problem started after upgrade.

i can say as well since updating to ios 5 ive noticed alot more crashes for apps and safari on my ipad 1 and its also running sluggish at times..

the biggest worry for me is battery life now..before ios 5 i could get at least 6 days use from my ipad..now i hardly can make it to 2 or 3 days...its draining down pretty fast now.

Apple fix the safari crashing with the IOS 5 upgrade please! This should be considered a CRITICAL bug and fixed with an emergency patch.
