Ios7 problems, safari crashes

Our 4th gen Ipad crashes with Safari all the time. I can make espn website crash safari on demand. Games like Infinity Blade 3 also crash all the time.

Girlfriends iPhone 4S also having issues crashing. She says target.com crashes all the time for her but others as well.

It's odd that lots of people been having this problem but I haven't had any problems at all. Safari hasn't crashed when I updated to iOS 7 on WiFi nor have game too.

.. well 3 days later and no cashes whilst using Safari on iPads 2 and 3 after taking the 'iCloud' tip given here by europaa.us and LordElohim. Not tested by us on the iPad Airs as they are all back with Apple now at their request)

ie.

LordE's .. Tip

"Go into settings>iCloud, and turn the button for Safari off. When prompted, delete all info.

Then, I powered device off and powered it back on.

Then, I went back to that setting and turned it back on. * (miApples advises to keep this (Safari in iCloud Setting) switched OFF at ALL times.

Since then, no Safari crashes at all."

miApples Tip

Optional

(miApples does NOT recommend this)

"Return to setting and turn Safari back on again in ..

settings > iCloud then choose to turn Safari back on."

This is a personal choice however .. & NOT recommended by miApples as we found all but zero Safari crashing (so far) in iPad 2 & 3 .. BUT .. terrible scroll lag & loading by turning the Safari tab back on in iCloud settings.

So we left this choice OFF and problem SOLVED - but some may need it on - up to you.

Just experiment & find your best way.

* We did however loose our Favourites Bar in Safari .. but another device re-boot corrected that issue.

* REMEMBER .. This is not a fix to iOS 7 faults .. but just 'may' help a tad bit. (miApples)

Expect crashes & faults to continue in all areas.

As europaa mentioned, the "fix" was his, not mine, and it was a fix for something not really related to this thread to begin with, it seems to be lucky that it mostly works. My Safari remains running strong since the 1st, with only one crash due to a site someone posted a few pages back, that seems to crash Safari no matter what. For all of my personal, day to day Safari use, I have seen no crashes with the stuff I do every day. I will say, without Safari crashing, iOS crashing feels even more irritating than it did when it was happening in addition to the Safari crashes. I am glad the iCloud toggle has stablized your iPads, Pleask55, but it really is a bandaid solution, don't count on it to solve anything, or even last forever. Until Apple fixes it, it seems to have greatly improved my annoyance. I'm also happy that it has eased your previous utter dismaissal of all things Apple, which felt drastic.

Glad yours is sorted but that 'fix' hasn't worked for me. I now use just Chrome, which quits but not as often.

However the camera and calendar app do not work at all on my Air.

I am going into the Apple Store yet again on friday, but expect they'll just suggest (yet) another restore.

Does anyone have an email for Tim Cook? Even if he bins it, I think a concerted email campaign by loyal Apple customers is warranted.

I find myself eyeing the nexus 7 on a daily basis now. Thank God I have an android smartphone.

I don't have a problem with the iPhone 5 either, but the iPad air and 5s both crash frequently. I tried the icloud fix and it actually did work for a few days and then it crashed again. It seems to have something to do with resizing the page while you are using the browser, possibly it is due to resizing the page while the page is loading?

I really don't know or care to know, just hope it gets fixed soon.

I have had numerous crashes with iOS 7 on both my iPhone 5s and my iPad Air. I've reset settings and reset the devices, yet the crashes persist. The more recent problem I had was simply trying to turn on simple passcode. Every time I toggled simple passcode from 'off' to 'on', I'd get the automatic restart. My latest phone 'crash' was in trying to answer a phone call on my 5s. I moved the slider to answer the call, and instantly the apple came up. 20 seconds later the phone was back, and oddly enough, the person was still on the other end of the call. It obviously wasn't a full crash.

In more than 20 years working with macs, and in my history will Apple iOS since the very first iPhone and iPod touch, if you add all of the times I have had system crashes, when combined they would not total the number of problems I've had with crashes in iOS 7 alone.

It really is quite disappointing!I guess they know they've got me over a barrel, as I'm certainly not switching platforms at this point.

I'm getting the feeling that Apple simply doesn't care about all this. If you attempt to submit a feedback bug report about an iPad/Safari problem, they want the usual information - except that there is no version of iOS available as a selection in the OS drop down box, only versions of Mac operating systems. How can they research a problem properly without this? As a programmer myself, I submit that they can't. BTW, it's been this way since the first iPads came out...

It would also be nice if Apple did a little feedback themselves, such as admitting that they are aware of a problem rather than deafening silence.

They will see all faults, resets etc if you

Have the diagnostics & usage set to automatically send

A little bird told me yesterday that the big "A" is quietly recalling all iPad airs. All you need to do is make a slightly small stink and you might just get the more up to date "new" iPad. I am sending mine back today. Crossing my fingers.

Not sure where you turn that on. Where's it documented? It doesn't excuse the inability to send a useful bug report, either.

Good luck! Be sure to post if it happens and fixes your problem. I'm kind of dubious about the fix. My iPad Air works fine, except for Safari (which s$$$s) and the fact that I hate the appearance of iOS 7 - which isn't a malfunction, per se.
