Ipad air low memory crash

I came to this forum to see if other ipad air owners are experiencing same problem with low memory crashing as I do but seems like I'm one of the few people have this. So far I have 10 low memory crash reports. I also have about 30 more crash reports but it's from various apps. I got my ipad air on the launch day, second in line, here in California. Maybe I just have a defective one, I don't know. If you have same issues, please reply so I can determine if I should return it or just live with it. Closing apps every day is a hassle. I wish Apple just put in extra gig of ram. Overall, I am extremely happy with my ipad. There are so many good this things to mention about this ipad but this is wrong thread to do that.

This is the case for me as well. I have a iPhone 4S and an iPad 3. Have no problems iOS7 on those devices. I chimed in on this thread at about page 10. Crashes only occurred almost immediately on the Air purchase on November 1. Was living with iOS7 and subsequent updates since September 18 on my older devices with no problem.

I tried not updating my iOS and just used whatever iOS I had when I bought my iPad Air. I did not use the cloud to back up my apps. I just logged in using my itunes account. Installed my apps one by one. Then I started using YouTube with no other apps running in the background... it crashed. 😢

I already spoke to a Senior advisor. I even have his extension. He failed to fix my issue that's why he sent me to an Apple store he even made the appointment for me to replace my iPad Air. While I was at the store the person who's in charge of assisting the customer in installing my apps witnessed how my iPad Air crashed. He doesn't know why. He then talked to a "genius" the "genius" can't figure it out. He then talked to the manager. The manager can't figure it out. He then asked me, "what do I want to do?" All I can think of is just give another new iPad Air that you just received at the store. Maybe I'll get lucky. I left the store after staying there for less than a day. Went home did my own troubleshooting. And up to this day my iPad Air is still crashing.

Sorry to be repetitive, did the Senior Advisor and when you were at the store, did they advise you to wipe your Air clean and then hard wire re-install iOS7, then reinstall Apps one by one?


This was the advice given me and so far after 3 1/2 days, have had no crashes. Just did the crash test above on 9to5Mac.com. 3 times with no crashes.

Crashed right in front of them. Not once, twice. Their only solution is... "Here's another brand new iPad Air it was just delivered yesterday. Oh, and here's a $15 itunes card you can use it to buy apps."


😠 Ah, hello what's the point of buying new apps if I can't even use the apps I have now in my BRAND NEW iPad Air!
