Q: Ipad air low memory crash

What your commandline log in iOS is saying is that there Daimian processes delegating memory behind the GUI (graphic interface - which actually only accounts for less than 15% of the programming booting any smartphone device or computer) to utilize processing speed and memory towards other process instead of the phones functioning. This is indicative more often than not these picked up some sort of bug. When the phone is being rewritten and it's commandline log (seen any log aggregated logs?) all the way to Daemon processes (these awe apples version of efi- which is the second layer of programming in a smart phone or comp. it's bridging the gap between the hardware and the first layer of the operating system- is process written in DSCL (Unix & Linux command line scripting). Apple runs osx off a platform of hardware called unix- a open source system. The daemons hybrid DSCL and osx's 36 programming languages- the first of which is launchD, then loginD (you will interact with this)- and they will stay in the background of OS X well it runs at all times. These are fundamental parts of the hierarchy of the filing system Apple runs OS X off of. There aren't very many Daimian processes that Apple utilizes. There's only launched D and iOS naturally. iOS uses a very very different format of programming. So if the secondary process utilizing Daimian is aggregating and pushing your memory out for another process is not fundamentally part of iOS. It also indicates that behind what you can see your phone is choosing to do things you didn't tell it to. You can't trust a graphical interface he can you program to mock up anything- but you can always trust commandline logs. Your phone should never decide what memory is being delegated to which processes. You are the administrator of your phone.

More often than not trash lines are a bad sign on my iPhone. Mad props for recognizing that the crash report was something you need to look into. When Apple drops an update it usually is because there's a fundamental hole in the platform. It will take care some the issues you're encountering. What ultimately you need to do is download and read install a factory reset utilizing a computer and iTunes ensuring that the IPS W is in place and at the firmware is reprogrammed. You never know what your phone is choosing to do behind it's graphical interface? Grab your docking cord plug it into the phone will take over from there you need to back it up and factory restore it.

It's super easy! :) I do this for a living by the way- I'm a pro apple IT consultant.

Well, it seems that i have found the cause of all my crashes in Safari (iOS 7.1.1.). After turning off javascript, I am able to again visit certain websites without crashing. There is clearly some javascript problem in this version of Safari. I find it hard to believe that this issue is not already known.

That workaround was posted here a couple months ago. God only knows why Apple hasn't fixed it, though.

After 7.1.1 things got better for me, but in the last few days both Safari and iTunes have been crashing a lot. Not sure what's going on there.

I guess to some degree, I'm happy it's not hardware related. But on the other hand, I'm not impressed that such a crucial part of the browser has such major problems. Who can browse without having javascript enabled?

Yes, lack of RAM. As I stated about 7 months ago, 1 GB of RAM is not enough for the 64 bit CPU. I have been using the ipad 4 with IOS 7 and I rarely get crashes anymore.  The iPad Air should never have been released to the market in the condition it is in. There will be complete fix, it will always crash.

No complete fix.

I started having random reboots and app exits to the desktop after 6 months of trouble free use. Realised my problem was GameCentre, which I'd also started using around the same time. Logged out of GameCentre and barred it in my settings .... and not experienced a single crash or reboot since. IPad Air 128mb ios7.1.1.

to see what is causinf your crashes. got to settings , about, diagnostics & usages, diagnostics & usages data. then go down list to low memory or last crash and click on it. you see name of offender about 10 lines down and if it was low memory or other issue. also look at the last time you crashed. mine ususlly are mobilesafari. and lately tapped out. a few times an hour. grrrrrrrrr !!! and ihavent found anything to clear memory of unused programs that are running ... im not using camera but shows as running. itunes app, and maybe a few others ihavent touchedat all this time i am up. and most of my notifications and pushes are OFF.

My ipad 2, 3 and mini have many low memory records in the diagnostics and none of them have ever crashed in their entire lifetime. They are all running ios7. Same goes for my air  .... Low memory records, but no more crashes.

what imhave read is that iPad 2 may use x memory but an iPad 4/Air  uses 10 times as much (meaning we should have a 2 gb memory rather than the 1 gb memory). i.e, iPad 2 uses 50 mb memory ipad4a uses 500 mb memory for same app. i usually am sitting at 300 free memory and have many times to less than 100mb where much more aborts my app. safari is worst aborter, followed by tapped out and family gutpy. i cant ebpven run dungeon master 2. and maybe others . aometimes just changing browser from landscape to portrait helps. like nin.com in landscape ALWAYS aborts.

if it's not broken, dont fix it, enhance it (without unwanted features) = continuing improvement !!!

Hello. I have also noticed that with 7.1.1 I'm getting springboard. Till now I had 4 springboard crashes while surfing the net. Websites wasn't heavy, for example even macrumours crashed my iPad. What I have noticed, that those springboard crashes appeared while surfing the net with cellular data. None with WiFi. At diagnostic and usage logs I get only Low memory logs, nothing mentioned about springboard.

I have reconciled with tabs reloading but those springboard crashes are killing me. I have reset iPad, tried a lot of times clearing Safari caches and histories...

Device iPad air 7.1.1 16GB+4G

Here is screenshoot of low memory logs, 50% of them gave springboard crashes...so f...annoying..

From my non-sophisticated point of view I saw a low memory warning on my iPad Air, found the online support discussion, realized others had the same problem and downloaded a free software package to monitor the quantity of memory available. I was horrified to find my free memory varied between 3.3 and ~7%. I then looked at how to close apps, double-pressing the Home button, waiting till the screen settled, finding many open apps and sliding each up to the top (except for the Home screen). When I did so, my free memory became 42%.

this is obviously a short-term fix, but worked.

I was horrified to find my free memory varied between 3.3 and ~7%. I then looked at how to close apps, double-pressing the Home button, waiting till the screen movement stopped and then, one by one, sliding each app up until  it quit. My free memory was 42% at that point.

this is a short- term fix and Apple needs to solve the issue, but from a non-tetchy guy it appears that apps remaining open and using memory is at least part of the problem.

closing apps is fine and good IF the apps are running ... but if they have used RAM memory and NOT released it (a VERY COMMON  problem on pcs)... that causes low memory. i found that battery doctor hd by beijing kingsport internet security  has a memory clearer ...(though i am NOT convinced that JUNK works ... i seem to have to reinstall an app afew times. but that MAY. be from the fact that i only have 7GB Free of .HDD and it may need more to optimize my files.)  my 1 GB RAM can be sitting at less than 100 MB and the app can get me over 600 Mb.
