Some of my apps won't open- when try to open..they just shut down when opening..?

Hi guys... Any tech advice would be welcome... My first time on this forum..

Some of my apps won't open- when I try to open them..it just shuts them down.

It then goes back to the home screen. This is happening on eBay, calander, bbc news. Each day is different one.

Then it seems to be ok, and hey hey... It does it again!

Usually choosing another app?

It also drops out sometimes, if I go from an eBay item link to Safari.

Again back to the home screen....

I have had these problems for about 6 weeks, my iPad is 2 months old..

It's first iPad, and I love it!

but never had any problems before like these on my iPhones..

Thanks

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 5.1.1, eBay, calander, some other apps

troublshooting:

go to your open apps (double click on the home button). remove all of the apps you have open there.

Restarting your device

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Follow these steps to reset your device

Note: Reset your device only if it is no longer responding and the steps above do not work.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

if those don't work you may have to restore your ipad and see if that doesn't fix anything

I think your issue is an open tab you have in Safari but it could be a number of things.

If these don't work, I would go to the apple store, tell them you pretty much did everything you could and the issue comes back, then you can deduce what the issue is possible by keeping track of which apps you have open.

Try quitting all apps and restart and see if that helps.

Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus ➖ sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button, Restart the iPad.

Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

You can try this as well.

Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
