Q: Why does iTunes Store crash frequently?
I have a first generation (64Gb) WiFi running version 10,and have IOS5,Im only using about 30% of memory at most.But when I browse the iTunes Store on my iPad,it crashs frequently and returns me to the home screen.I have tried restarting,resetting,updating,restoring it to only the factory installed Apps and testing to see if one or more of my downloaded Apps could be causing the crash.Nothing seems to fix it.The error log shows that the iTunes Store is overloading the processor ,even when nothing extra has been loaded onto the iPad.It seems odd to me that a basic iPad utility should cause it to overload the processor.Support has acted mystified as to why it is doing this,and exiled me to the customer self help forums.I have run across bits and pieces that several other customers are suffering from this same problem.The general rumor that I've heard is that iTunes Store has become so "Bloated" from its own new and improved updates that it's putting more demand on the IPad processors than they are designed for.Is this a hopeless or unfixable problem?I have started using downloaded Apps like Apple Sliced without having the crash problem,but their search engines are not quite as good as the iTunes App Store browser.IF only It wasn't so unstable !!! I am very surprised that there hasn't been any update to correct it,being a basic utility and all.Has anyone heard of a new solution ,or maybe a ray of hope that Apple is addressing this bug?
iPad, iOS 5.1, windows 7 computer
