Every since I got my new ipad air I can be looking at something on a webpage and it just cuts off and goes back to the apps. This gets VERY ANNOYING when you have to start all over again. Does anyone else seems to be having this problem? I just bought it like 2 months ago now.
iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1.2
Sounds similar go the problem I am having. When in Safari it suddenly cuts out and I get the Apple Log same as when you first turn on an iPad ) as you say, very frustrating.
It's likely an ad on the page. Nothing you can do about it i'm afraid beyond not using the site or find a browsing app that has ad blocking abilities.
Ads within web pages and apps are allowed to take the user to the app store and there's really no way to block it beyond the aforementioned things.
Depending n what you mean, it can be one of 2 things.
If to goes back to the home screen, then that means the website is causing Safari to crash. That's an issue with the website coding, or an ad there that causes Safari to close because the code is wrong and Safari does not know how to deal with it. . There's not much you can do other than reporting it to the website if it happens very frequently.
The other option is if its taking you to the App store to show you an App for purchase/download. That is usually caused by an Ad, that can set the url to a location in the iTunes Store website for a particular app they are pushing and it opens the app store by default.
Again nothing can be done, since its an issue with the page, not your iPad.
Thanks for the info. BUT the thing I can't understand is my Ipad 2 doesn't do this . It doesn't take me to a app. It just takes me back to the desktop or whatever you call it. This is so Very frustrating to be doing something and all of a sudden it's gone and you have to start all over.
Okay thanks so much. BUT HOW COME my Ipad 2 doesn't have this problem and I went to the same websites on there? My husband doesn't have the problem still yet on my old IPAD 2.
Have you tried the typical trouble shooting steps?
1. Go To Settings->Safari->Clear Cookies and Data
If that does not work,
2. Hold down on the Home and Sleep buttns until the Apple logo shows up. It may take a few seconds. The iPad will reboot. no data should be lost.
If that still does not work.
3. Try a restore:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
i'll try that the next time it happens. BUT I just bought it less than 2 months ago now. Thanks
close all running apps (double clicking the home button and sliding the pages to the top of the screen), and hard reset the device (hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until u see an apple) and then try to open the webpage again
What could be making ipad air just go from a website and back to the apps page?
