iPad air reboot problem

I think the iPad Air and/or iOS 7 is buggy as ****, it crashes and reboots all the time.

Same problem here with my iPad Air 32gb WiFi. Reboots every now and then just for fun.

Seems to be a problem with iOS 7 and memory management. Tons of low memory diagnostic errors have been reported for iOS 7 users on these forums. Do a search for Safari Crashes and you'll see countless others dealing with the same kind of memory dump crashes. Apple should be able to resolve the majority of these crashes with an update.. But in the future they may also be faced with having to increase the available RAM to assist in avoiding crashes caused by bad memory management. Call Apple and let hem know your a victim as others are doing.

I had an Air and noticed twice as many memory dump crashes than my previous 4th Gen.. After iOS 7.0.4.. I returned the Air and picked up another 4 and have had far less crashes. This experience also lends to AnAndTech's review and assessment that the 64bit A7 may become an issue with browser based applications due to 64bit memory architecture.

The move to a 64-bit platform however does complicate things a bit. Moving to a larger memory address space increases the size of pointers, which in turn can increase the footprint of 64-bit applications compared to their 32-bit counterparts. So although there’s clearly a performance uplift from app developers recompiling in 64-bit mode (more registers, access to new instructions), there’s also an associated memory footprint penalty. Since the iPad Air and iPhone 5s don’t feature a corresponding increase in memory capacity, I wondered if this might be a problem going forward.

Based on my experience with the Air vs. the 4, I would said it does. Apple really needs to fine tune iOS 7 to be suitable for the 64bit+1gb Ram combo'd Air.. The 32bit cpu's are more memory friendly... still crash, just not as often.

Same here! Running ios 7.0.4

Went to the Apple store today asked them about my ipad air and they did not swap it but did a firmware reinstall. Will let you all know if it reboots again.

Same issue. iOS 7.0.4 and crashes randomly w any app on iPad Air.

Same issue just periodically reboots maybe once a week. It's happening on my iPad air and iPhone 5 which leads me to think it is a ios7 issue not hardware. I also have safari crash too and the reboot does seem to follow after that.

Solution. I contacted Apple Support as my iPad Air is still covered for service. They advised I back it up on my laptop (done) and then restore from backup (done). I've tested and no random resets. iOS 7.0.4 iPad Air. I was advised that if this did not work then I would need to take the tablet into store.

Just had it reboot after they reloaded the firmware on Saturday so yeah there is a Hardware Software conflict.

Not had it happen on my iPhone 5 are you sure you have not got a 5s.

I'm tired of it, going to return today. Happens too many times per day to justify the money spent. Not only does it reboot, but safari and the App Store crashes constantly. This is my second iPad within two weeks, and I wiped both of them clean three times and did not back them up just in case if that was the issue. Pain in my rear.

My iPad Air 32 Gb was doing the exact same thing. I refunded it and bought a 64 GB iPad Air in it's place. This one I have owned only two days and it also has restarted itself. Buying a new one does not correct the issue. The question is whether this is a software issue, hardware issue, of both.

I ve the same issue. Ipad Air restarts. It happened to me while i was on skype call.

Just adding my name, too. A couple times a day I get white screen with Apple logo on my 32GB iPad Air.

Very annoying, especially when it happens while trying to show something to someone at work...
