IPad 1 - iOS 5 - Safari Crashing

[richsadams]

Mine crashes all of the time, no problems till iOS 5.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record I guess I'd ask what have you done to fix it? What apps are crashing? Have you done any/all of the recommendations above?

To my experience most causes of crashes are:
Not closing apps running in the background.
Not resetting the device.
Some apps are buggy with no updates.

Upgrade to 5.0.1 does not cause crashes, it fixed most issues. Lots of articles and topics on this subject on this fourm.

What have you done if anything to resolve it? There are millions of upgraded iPads working perfectly, mine included, but things can certainly go south during an upgrade with any computer. The good news with the iPad is that generally they can almost always be resolved, but they usually won't fix themselves.

Well i did tried to restart my ipad everytime i encounter issues first thing i do is that or reset if i've no choice then everything seems back to normal i guess i just figured maybe it's not all about the recent update which is ios 5.0.1, the internet might also be the reason if you got slow connection something like that but c'mon it's not the end of the world Apple will surely address the issues/problems just give it time & that is what i keep telling to myself lol!

Well, agreed that it's probably not anything to do with the upgrade...while rare, reports like this have existed since the iPad came out. It does sound like a flaky app or something going on with your particular iPad so it's not likely that the next upgrade will make any difference.

If you'd like to post more details about exactly which apps are giving you problems and what you're seeing you may be able to get things resolved and not have to put up with it.

Can't be of much assistance here except to note that Safari crashing since the latest iOS update is apparently a widespread problem. I've seen it show up in various guises (including here) and in various forums. It's disappointing, of course, to find that an Apple app is problematic with Apple's own operating system but such problems do arise from time to time.

It's always worth trying to resolve a problem individually with the sorts of actions recommended on this thread but I suspect that this is a problem only Apple can resolve.

Yes, this seems to be an Apple problem, related to 5 and 5.0.1.

I know how to reset, restart, close apps (I'm anal, so I rarely have a bunch of apps open), look for possible new apps that might conflict, etc. I'm not jailbroken and don't have suspect apps.

I've not changed any of my browsing practices since iPad 3G's debut day more than a year ago. Safari used to be stable. Now it crashes several times a day, on both my iPad 1 and 2.

After posting on this thread I restarted the ipad. I didn't spend much time on it after that, maybe tonight I will get a better feel if it helped.

At least I know that I am not alone. I have tried all the suggested fixes, with no improvement. I suspect that it's something that Apple needs to fix.
