Why does my iPad keep crashing?

I know it is old ... By computer standards ... But can I get it to quit crashing ?

iPad, Original operating system.

Try This...


Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...


Reset ( No Data will be Lost )


Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...


Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...


Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)


Release the Buttons...


If no joy... Try a Restore...


1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.


2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

The original iPad only has 256 MB memory and a slow processor, so you might want to periodically, such as weekly, double click the home button and dismiss all apps you have used. Then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.


That will clean up the memory which is going to be the biggest source of crashes.
