Safari crashes on iPad 1 with ios 5.0.1

That site crashes on my iPad 1 which is on iOS 4.3.5, it might just be that site , does it crash on any other sites?

I have similar problem. Safari is crashing several times a day on my iPad 1 with iOS 5.0.1 on various sites.

I hope they will bring some fix for it soon.

As far as I can figure it has something to do with the javascript. If you go into safari settings and turn off javascript it seems to fix the problem but then you are told by several websites you need javascript enabled.

Boy do I have the same problem. Been to Apple in RI five times... with a new knee replacement so you know I am desperate. Left Apple today with a newly restored Ipad1. they aready replaced my Ipad at the third visit. I knew it wasn't my IPad, but whatever I got a new one. NowI have to wipe out my backups because something is corrupt on icloud and itunes. Can you help me out? I don't know where to begin. How do you wipe out your cloud backup and restore your apps. Any help will be appreciated. I really miss my Ipad. Now I am afraid to touch it. ;(

Try to uninstall SBSetting , as because it's not fully compatible with iOS 5.01

:-)

I think I solved my iPad 1 safari crashes... I cleared my cookies @ settings. The fact that I am able to post this message indicates that this may have solved my crashing issues. Hope this works for you too.

I have this problem too (it's also slow, keyboard is unresponsive, apps won't open, etc). I have been to the apple store twice, reinstalled everything, tried a dozen "fixes" from various Internet sites, nothing works. The guy at Apple told me that my iPad 1 "does not have adiquate application memory to run OS5." This has to be planned obsolescence by apple. I would give anything to go back to os4, apple tells me you can't. As an added insult they removed the "get more episodes" from podcasts (a function I used everyday). OS 5 has provided me no benefits, it has driven me to use a windows laptop, it has made me use iTunes far less, it has charged my iPad from something I could not put down to something I hate to use. I cannot believe Apple would allow this thing to be released. It has completely changed my view of the company (and I'm a guy who owned an original Mac).

Apple released an update to iOS 5.1 today. I don't know if this will have any impact on the problem reported by the OP but it might. Users with this problem of Safari crashing should update to ios 5.1 and report back if this solves the problem.

With my previous experiences updates on older devices always have a negative effect on Apple devices , for example my PowerBook G4 used to run smoothly on OS 9 then installed OS X then everything went downhill, same thing happened with my iPhone 3G on iOS 4, my Mac Mini on OS X 10.7(Lion) , I've also noticed some lag on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.01 installed , and now the iPad 1 , which shall be soon be dismissed by Apple as they usually do. If I could revert back to 4.3 I would, there are many pointless features on iOS 5 for iPad for example the notifications centre, I find that the notifications centre just gets in the way when your playing games like fruit ninja and uses memory which slows down your device, there are still badges with numbers in a red circle on yours apps so there is no need for notifications centre. The main problem which this forum is largely based is the performance of safari, it is not as snappy and smooth as it was on iOS 4, not to mention the increasing and ongoing problem of crashing which is most annoying when on important sites that require a secure login. Hopefully Apple will fix this in the new 5.01 update but history tells us that they'll probably make it worse.

LIKE THIS If anyone agrees :)

Wow. This is bad!! Safari and app store continue to crash on me all the time. This is awful!

I had the same problem. My first gen IPad worked fine, and then it basically became worthless. I couldn't download apps and could not use Safari - at my own house - but it worked fine at the Apple store or at my brother's house. I tried every fix suggested in this and other threads. I finally decided to try a new wireless router since mine was 5+ years old, and that solved the problem. My first gen iPad is working like new since I got the new router.
