Safari keeps shutting down

That would be difficult to say, but try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps.

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.

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. 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.

Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. 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 or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.

Sinc mid July, 2012, my ipad would crash every application including Settings from with 1 second to 4 minutes.

Only new Apps I installed are LogMeIn and the 2012 British Open - that will teach me thanks Adam.

I tuned off all notifications - that did not help

I turned off Exchange Email account after reading above "Also, it seems to me that this is a SW issue...something of a glich from dataaccessd (Email aparently)"

Happy days Safari has run for 2 minutes.....3:30 ........5 minutes and 10 seconds, 8 minutes, 10 minutes first time for days. Is it to early to call ?

I tried all of those but I still have the problem on my iPad 2 with 5.1.1.
