Problem with safari's cache in ios 5

This has gone from being an annoying temporary problem to being a giant pain. I'm on the verge of dumping my iPad for an Android tablet.

It's unbelievable that malfunction of what should be simple totally destroys the user experience. I hate this.

Same problem with iPad 2 on 5.0.1. A little surprised that it's taking this long to fix it.

As long as I'm at it, can someone tell me how to export my iPad Safari Bookmarks?

It's not obvious to me how to do this, and I'm planning on going to another browser.

Thanks.

Me too, on ipad1 and iphone4

PITA

Hello,

I solved a similar issue :

- Clear safari cache in settings

- Change manually the iphone/ipad date (i added a mounth)

- Try again to navigate in Safari.

have had iPad2 for about 6 weeks and started to experience cache problems. called Apple Support. Useless.

I'm having the same problem! Since updating iOS 5, I've noticed a lot of performance issues.

What the heck? Not for nothing, but the problem I've been having with this has made me want to get rid of my iPad and go with an Android tablet. I actually took mine to the Apple store, they reloaded iOS, and I'm still having the problem.

After all this time, is there no answer for this from Apple? Honestly, this is PATHETIC!!!

My belief is that it is an IOS issue. Will not be resolved until apple fixes in an upgrade.

Clearing cache will of course provide a short term fix. No old cache to load. Are you still problem free?

Clearing the cache is a crappy solution because it also clears all cookies, so all logins are also lost.

It has to be an iOS problem because I never had a problem before iOS 5. Apple should have released a patch by now and now that I think about it, I'd actually like to go back to the old iOS which was problem free for me.

Agreed. Pre IOS 5 I was actually happy. Except for my skipping ipod classic (another thread), things were going well. My apple II even still boots. Now the ipad on the other hand.

I'm still on iOS 4 so I haven't experienced this. Has anyone tried wiping their iDevice (via iTunes but could also be an option buried somewhere)?

I don't know how to go back to iOS 4, otherwise I would. I had NO issues there.

To me this is a major issue that I have to put up with each and every day. I hate my iPad for this reason and would love nothing more to dump it at this point and get an Android tablet.

Reinstalling one of the myriad of solutions offered, that work for a short time then fail.

All I can say is if you are not on ios 5, you were wise.
