Ipad air low memory crash

You are obviously a moron, or you work for Apple and are trying to contain the problem before its more widely known. I see you defending the lack of memory on other web sites.

I am an IT person. I am on my SECOND iPad Air. It is a complete fail, and it will be widely known within a month or two.

I never had problems with my previous iPads crashing, nor did I ever complain about your "kettle of fish" memory problem until the iPad Air.

I use the iPad for 8+ hours a day, and it is a TOTAL FAIL from the get go when it comes to using it anywhere NEAR as intensively as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3. It crashes and crashes and crashes.

Ios takes 300+ MB of RAM from the start. When the RAM usage gets near 700 MB, IOS starts shutting things down. That means open only a couple Safari Tabs, and BOOM CRASH BOOM CRASH.

It is totally annoying, I am totally bummed. I am trying to figure out what tablet to buy to replace it. Totally ***** for me.

Tell your corporate bean counter buddies they REALLY screwed this one up.

Now I know you are trolling as I have never posted on any site about the lack of memory on the iPad air an certainly do not work for Apple (I could ask you if you work for samsung), the fact is you clearly haven't read my post this thread is for a particular issue that can occur with only one app open not just several, and even if 1gb is a low amount if properly memory managed shouldn't be a problem to most people that fact is this is a bug pure and simple with iOS 7 that apple need to fix, it's just the timescales that are important here so let's keep this thread on topic otherwise this issue will never get fixed.

Many people are seeing the Safari crash across all iPads with iOS 7. I've had it in an iPad 4 and it's replacement.

OMG this is my last attempt at SCHOOLING you, all.

I have a four year old laptop with 8 gigs of RAM. When I open up multiple tabs, the RAM usage goes OVER 2 gigs....and I use adblocker, noscript and flashblock (among other Firefox add ons) to control the junk on a web page.

.....And that is just the browser.

Plain and simple- ONE GIG of RAM isn't enough.

Like I said- load a hardware monitor and see how many processes and RAM is being used or reserved on the iPad Air...

IT STARTS OUT PRACTICALLY TAPPED OUT ON MEMORY.

Keep blaming the crashes on IOS7- ....yes, IOS7 uses more memory, so its causing other devices to crash as well. The 64 bit processor puts the iPad Air over the edge.

Mark my words, this one gig RAM snafu is gonna be a biggie. Thats probably why they are dumping the iPad Air in holiday sales at $120 lower price.....Because they wanna get them out before the public WAKES UP to the DISASTER....a freshly released iPad Air marked off $120?? Figure it out.

You two that are defending the Air have no history as forum members, but you sure are defending this screw up BIg Time.

I can't wait to come back to these posts and this thread in a month or two, after this is memory screw up is exposed (and Apple stock dives again) to see how your user status will probably say "this user is no longer active" or some such, so I won't be able to say "I told you so- what do you have to say now?"

Psmyth i see your userid just came into existence around the time the crashes started to make 20+ posts in different forum threads telling everyone to ask for a senior advisor To solve the crash problem.

There it is, the corporate turds inserting people in the forums to put pressure on the advisors.

The advisors told you guys a year ago to use more memory, you didn't listen. You wanted to make that extra 6% profit instead in the short run.

NOW THE ADVISORS CAN'T INSTALL MORE MEMORY.

Yes I don't post that often only when I have an issue (which isn't very often) but I do read the forums often.

As for your laptop analogy, if a laptop runs out of memory it starts swopping stuff in and out rather than crashing so you are talking about completely different things and not relevant to this topic which is a specific problem that has occurred with the introduction of ios7.

Again this problem is for a particular issue which affects multiple iPad hardware and even iPhones, memory might become an issue in the future but this is not what this thread is for and perhaps you should created a separate thread to cover your particular issue as you are adding nothing to this one atm, but tbh it was well known that the iPad air would only come with 1gb of ram and it was your choice to purchase one rather than an android tablet which might more suite your needs, but complaining about it afterwards is starting to get a little bit tired.

So let's get this thread back on track and focus back on the reason that this thread was created in the first place.

Duhhhh, lets keep the thread on topic....duhhh whats the name of the thread....duuhhhh iPad Air Low Memory Crash....duuhhhhh

I returned my $800 iPad Air and gave them a second chance by buying the cheapest version...It gets returned tomorrow.

Voting with my wallet.

BY THE WAY- I had to sign in again every time I responded to a new post, because- YOU GUESSED IT!!! It crashes every 5 minutes.

Good if that's what you have decided to do and return it because you believe it's a physical memory limit rather than a bug that's your choice so now we can get back to the discussion about the bug in iOS 7 and getting a fix from apple as your issue will no longer be a problem.

Back to topic has anybody so far had any updates to there cases as yet from apple in the last few days, might give them a ring this afternoon to chase them for an update?

Hey $1 Green Target Toy guy, please stop yelling. I know you are passionate about Low Memory Errors, but you need to chill.

Did anteanna gate or iPad heat get you this worked up?

You now or always have hated Apple and how Apple conducts business, we got it. You make some interesting points, which we all fully understand. Please move on.

jrayb, I've had a couple of calls from the senior advisor I've been working with. First for more logs and yesterday to say the engineers had crashed their iPads, and he felt it was being fast tracked.

That sounds positive the first step to investigating a problem is to reproduce it, let's hope we have some good news by next week.

Local Apple genius hinted that Apple is working on an iOS update that will add a little more DRAM to get by until iPad Air 2014 comes out with 2GB DRAM to fix the low memory crashes.

If 1gb RAM were the issue, why do I have NO problems at all with my iPhone 5s? (Same in every way except for screen dimensions and pixels)

I follow these threads out of general interest. Maybe it is just the the title of the thread, but I do not sense as much of a problem with the iPad Mini Retina? I wonder if this is true. My friend has had one now for a few weeks with no complaints.

"Local Apple genius hinted that Apple is working on an iOS update that will add a little more DRAM to get by until iPad Air 2014 comes out with 2GB DRAM to fix the low memory crashes."

Hunh? The above statement makes no sense.
