Ios7 problems, safari crashes

Finally.... And how long is it sine i reported this the first time? Last week of September.....

SHAME on you Apple!

Yay! Waiting is hard, but at least now we have some assurance that a solution is forthcoming, which is more than we had before. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Definitely good news. With solid info like that I don't even mind waiting. Thanks for sharing.

Confirming what lebaz said, I was told that, too.

For his one, it would be really nice when hey release the update, to explin what caused it - for all us sleuths!

Sorry to be a party pooper. The senior advisers have been admiting iOS7.0 plays "dirty" (their word not mine" with a numer of things for the last three weeks. Memory release from previously opened Apps - falure to open certain PDF documents - memory crashes not due to the previous two causes -Java related problems are just the obvious ones.

I for one want out and will try one last time to get a fix for the faults and the date had better be this side of Christmas or it is money back time.

Upgraded to IOS 7 and my browser, whichever browser I use, crashes every few minutes. I find that even a few months in, some of the apps, such as the calendar, are more fiddle and difficult to use than the iOS 6 versions. I know nothing is perfect but my next phone will be Android. I'm over Apple.

I have a new iPad Air, and experience constant Safari crashes on mainstream sites all the time (e.g. CNN).

Those of you hoping for a fix for this problem, it seems to me, are likely to be disappointed. iOS 7 is so badly implemented and has so many basic problems that, speaking as a former software engineer, Apple's problems most likely lie deep in the way software is managed and implemented. Most likely, based on what I'm reading, Apple is adopting the standard "big company" way of writing software: churning out poorly tested, poorly designed, poorly written "features" as fast as possible, for the sake of demos.

My point here is that the crashes are not likely to be a matter of finding a "bug" and fixing the "bug". They are more likely to be a result of bad software engineering permeating the whole codebase. iOS 7 is probably millions of lines of code, and if it's rotting, it can't easily be fixed. Politically, in companies Apple's size, a fix requires an admission of error, which causes all kinds of political problems for any employees who raise the issue (typically they are not viewed as team players, are considered hard to get along with, and are eased onto other projects).

I loved my iPad and I hope I'm wrong, of course.

I have an iPad Air with iOS 7.0.4 and have this problem too (Safari crashes on content heavy websites like Facebook).

Has anyone found a workaround?

James there is none. Call AppleCare and ask for a senior advisor. A replacement won't help. Apple engineers are working on a fix. It's a software issue.

James TK I have found that the iPad as factory reset needs a PDF file reader (Adobe is free and works well for me) if you are having crashes due to trying to access PDF catalogues or emailed PDF files. I do not use social media sites and there may be other things missing assuming you are keeping the previous apps closed by double click of the home button and upwards flick of each to remove them. This in my case helps with the Low Memory faults.

I have spent another hour and a half on the phone with Apple Support senior advisers. The problem with the download of some PDF files is repeatable and I am waiting for the American Software people to come back with an assurance of a fix in what I consider to be a reasonable time frame or a refund.

The best rougue site is www.NEFF.co.uk and try and down load the broucher from the link on the righthand menu strip/bar which opens a download page for the document. The document when downloaded on a PC and sent by email attachment also fails to open and is under 17Meg in size. but can be downloaded via iTunes in to the Adobe PDF Reader App or iBooks.

There are at least three or four failure modes being mentioned in this thread. I trust the American Software team come back with a time frame for a fix but I am not holding my breath. Note to date there is no fix and the Apple team appear to be working on a rewrite of iOS

Hope this helps

Just downloaded the new iTunes and it is certainly different and looks to be an improvement in the way MP3 files can be loaded and unloaded.

Thanks.

I have an iPad 3 which I upgraded to iOS 7 which worked more or less flawless for what I needed. Naturally after seeing the iPad Air I bought one since the weight and A7 alone convinced me it was what I needed in order to handle iOS 7 to its fullest. Safari crashes several times a day every single day. It's obvious that apple bean counters and apple engineering did not sit down in the same room together to discuss the amount of ram required to run ios7 smoothly. Even my fossil work blackberry z10 has 2 gb of ram and it's browser never crashes or falters. Maybe the apps suck but for email and web it performs very smoothly. My personal phone is iphone safari crashes on here to albeit not as much as on the iPad. I hear 7.1 is being released very soon perhaps not soon enough but it should help with optimizing the out of memory African Lion Safari.

I have two ipad 4 and One ipad air.

Since ios7 safari crashes all the time, when scrolling a page or closing a tab.

Using more than two tabs is like a nightmare...suddenly safari shuts the ipad down.

Never any Crash with ios 6.

Please fix this!

All my friends using ipad and ios 7... experience the same.

I've had my iPad Air replaced twice and have the same crashing problem on each of the 3 devices. Does anyone know if the performance is different for different iPad air models? I have 32GB. Would my experience be different with 64GB?
