Ipad air low memory crash

For the record, did you talk to a first line person or senior advisor at tech support?

If he told you that if a restore and clean machine didn't fix it, it's a hardware issue, he is way off the reservation of othe Apple senior advisors and engineers.

I talked to a women who then connected me to another advisor. He said " it is a known issue and most of the time a clean wipe and hard wire reinstall of iOS7 will fix it ... If not, it's a hardware issue and you can return it within the 1 year warranty"

Most of the time? Hahaha. Funny. Some here started in this thread saying it's only a handful of devices...now there are enough problems that advisors/engineers are saying "most of the time".... this thread is changing its tone by the hour...

another funny thing- when I went into the Apple store in SLC, Utah, everyone there including the "geniuses" were saying I was the absolute first person to come in with any type of problem with the iPad Air...

I guess that snowball effect is kicking in.

I feel like I was the canary in. The mineshaft. I push my devices hardware to the limits, the iPad Air folded immediately under my power use. I highly doubt there is much they can do to correct the lack of memory.

I was being semi-sarcastic in a previous post when I said I had no idea why they didn't put more memory in. The only logical answer is complacency, greed and profit- the same thing that killed Apple and Macintosh when they fired Jobs back in the day.

***** being right sometimes...

Maybe the clean wipe fixes it until you get off the phone.

I do not post often to these forums, but you are so wrong lol

Safari browser just got some memory leaks, and apple will fix that in the next update...

You look like a mad child who try to justify itself, so pathetic....

I still hope you are wrong about the "greed and complacency.

Since I haven't upgraded yet, I am hoping for a stealth RAM upgrade once the current stock is depleted (Spring?).

PS ... just because I found your original language offensive doesn't mean you weren't right.

Honestly, I really hope I am wrong. I really do.

I started getting used to that super light Air; now my wrists are having to adjust again to he added weight. I have cooled down; I was angry that I sold my high end iPad 4 at a small loss to buy an iPad Air. But getting the iPad 4 on sale at Staples for $349 for the 16gb model took the sting off, especially since buying a new iPad 4 allowed me to go back to IOS6.

At the very least, Apple should allow people to roll back to IOS6.

I guess I may come off as offensive or an angry child to some, but my level of disgust with the current corporate and political climate more than demands such a response from anyone who is breathing and possesses a shred of intellect.

Occupy Wall Street tried to address some of these issues and the congressional military corporate industrial complex squashed them like a bug.

I share your disgust with the "current corporate and political climate", but I try not bring it into these forums. Besides this is "Apple" we're are talking about. The original counter culture company.

Then again with Steve gone and Apple being the richest company on the face of the globe ...

I got my 128GB wi-fi + cellular iPad Air on the 6th November (impressive shipping as usual). I'm getting seemingly random restarts on opening apps. More often than not it's one that I've used a short time previously. The restart is so fast that I'm living with it, but am hoping an iOS update will help. I've certainly experienced the same thing with an earlier iPad (perhaps 2?) and iOS (perhaps 5?) and remember the reboots becoming less frequent as developers released new versions of their apps. I imagine there's a learning curve with every major iOS update. Fingers crossed this isn't something that relies on a hardware update.

I've found another web page that causes my ipad air to crash every time. Ironically I was searching for web pages discussing the fact my ipad air seems to refresh safari tabs every time I switch between them (which I've always understood to be RAM related):

Above, I should say Safari on iPad Air crashes every time, now the actual OS

You got my iPad 4 crashing on that page, with Safari AND iCab.....

Just checked diagnostics log, the crash isn't being logged....

As you can see, that is a very long page, with a lot of graphics an ad, maybe even embedded videos. 1 GB RAM ain't enuf'

Crashes Safari on iPad 1 (no shock there) and my iPhone 5s.
