iPad Crashes
My iPad crashes out of several apps after a minute or two, including Twitter, The Washington Post, and Google Maps. Sometimes it crashes completely , becoming unresponsive, but then comes back up without a reboot.
iPad 3G, iOS 5.1.1
Then try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if any of them help. You may have to restore the iOS software and start from scratch if nothing else works, but start here.
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.
Quit all apps 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.
You can try this specifically for Safari crashes.
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.
If you have the original iPad and are running iOS 5.1.1, IMO, the iOS is really taxing the device's capability.
