Hello Apple!!! Do you monitor these threads which exhibits your consumers as filled with disappointment and frustration!!! If you would please help us so we don't have to be "ipadless" from returning yet another malfunctioning ipad air, we'd really appreciate your assistance and feedback!
Everyone, I apologize. I am not angry, as it may seem, only dissappointed and mostly frustrated. I bought an ipad air 32gb and was truly excited to have it, yet on the first day of its use, it randomly restarted itself. It continued to do so another 8 times in only 10 days, so I returned it and purchased a new one with more memory, 64gb. Some say that this issue is a "how much free space is available" memory issue, others say that there is insufficient working memory, or RAM on the device (it only has 1gb). Others have stated that it is a hardware meets software conflict. Apple has said nothing.
So I bought the 64gb to increase my free space memory, the RAM clearly is unchanged. The new iPad Air 64gb is....wait for it, restarting itself!!!! Yay, just like its 32gb brother.
Perhaps it is a hardware issue; however, I find it difficult (though not impossible) to believe that Apple would make such a grevious error. Yet lately there has been many errors and glitches in Apples software, mainly IOS 7, so I am hoping that this is merely another software glitch and remains fixable. I do like the iPad and wish to keep it.
As far as correcting the issue myself, I have literally performed everything that is advised: hard reset, restore via USB/iTunes & through the cloud, and most recent I decided to try just setting up the device as a whole new ipad instead of performing a restore. I have to go through the tenacious task of downloading a plethora of my apps all over again, and then reorganizing them in their perspective categories. At any rate, there seems to be no fixable solution on the users end. Apple needs to address this issue.
So Apple, please, please address this issue. Send an firmware update. If it's the hardware, let me know, and I will glumly return it to you. Thank you.
