Ipad air low memory crash

Everyone - make sure to go to settings, diagnostics and usage, and send reports to Apple. Also, report the issue to Applecare online. "Squeaky Wheel"

I bought my iPad air on launch day in London, the day before I went to the Philippines (for a month and a halve). It crashes way too much for my liking. I hope they will exchange it when I come back mid December, as the 14 days will be long gone. Should I buy AppleCare + before the 30 days run out. Worried!

If you bought it FROM Apple, you may be in luck. I believe that all iPads bought directly from Apple starting November 1 (launch day) can be returned through early January. Check the Apple site.

Thank you for pointing that out, yep it does mention on the site 'For eligible products purchased between November 1, 2013 and December 25, 2013, you have until January 7, 2014 to initiate a return.'

I do really like my air, except for the crashes, perhaps they'll sort it before I return it.

I would just to be on the safe side. I just got off a chat with support and now performing the recovery process. If this works cool, if not at least it is documented. They stated they would exchange it if this doesn't work but I told them it seems to be an issue with 7.0.4, not the hardware. I let them know my wife is having the issue on her iPhone 5 after upgrading but not on her ipad 4, which hasn't been upgraded. We will see what happens.

Good to know.

I feel that it is a software correctible memory management issue, probably related to ios 7.x. If I were to return my iPad Air, as others have suggested, what would I replace it with? I have already sold my older iPad on Craig's list, and have too many i apps to go to an Android device. My iPhone 5 rarely has a low memory issue, but then I rarely have many apps loaded or do much web surfing with it. We must find a way for this issue to make the "news" so that others with the problem will come forward, and Apple will be forced to act on it.

I think it is software, I wouldn't return it. But for some reason it isn't getting out that this is an issue, but it is being reported by many users on different blogs. Hopefully the restore will work; I will know for sure once I have set everything back up.

After restore, give it a couple of days, and then let us know here if it fixed the issue. I seriously doubt that it will, but good luck to you

I will

I don't think anyone has reported on any forum that any kind of restore or replacement devices have fixed the issue.

Apple engineers are aware of the problem.

Hold your breath.

I have an app called MemoryInfo. Just now, when a Safari page wouldn't load, I opened the app and it showed 61.6 mb free. After a few seconds of " doing its thing" it showed 547.30 mb free, and the Safari page opened quickly when I returned to it. This indicates to me that our problem must be software related.

Definitely software related. Even if I have only 2 tabs open in Safari, switching between them often causes them to be white screens and have to reload every time. Even devices as far as back as my old iPhone 4 could handle more tabs than that without having to reload.

I should add this is on a 32GB iPad Air

My ipad air crashes started as soon as I upgraded to IOS 7.04. I have low memory crashes as well as one sprinboard. The crashes are 3 or 4 times a day every day since 16th November and I have the ipad since 2nd November.
