Anybody have an actual fix for the annoying Safari crashing/closing issue?

Have the problem on both my iPad 1 and 3. Definetly starte with the latest IOS update. Have tried everything people say to try - including Apple. Does anybody know if Apple has an actual fix out for this issue? I can't even browse on the iPad which pretty much makes it a useless device. Guess I'm starting to look forward to the Windows tablets coming out this fall. I bet they'll be able to surf the web. And that is all I want.

I've started having this issue too on my iPad 2. I checked through the diagnostics & usage tab on System Settings (for the 25 seconds it remained open) and found a slew of LowMemory-[INSERT DATE TIME].plist in there.
It seems the iPad runs out of memory and bombs what ever application it wants. This has only started in the past 24 hours with me which coincides with me finally updating to iOS 5.1.1
I have done a full reset, reinstall and even a complete reformat / restore back to factory settings and have had no joy.
For my sins I'm going to the "Genius" bar on Thursday to see what can be done, but I suspect its going to be a hiding to nothing. I'll report back either here or in the thread I'm going to create on the off chance someone from Apple actually has an answer / checks this place out.

  • Is there a permanent fix for the Acrobat Organizer database damaged issue?

    I am constantly applying the fix for this. Is there a known reason this is happening so we are able to prevent it in the future? Adobe obviously knows about the issue, is a fix being worked on?

    Hi amr1119,
    Sorry to hear that you are having issues with installing the latest version of iTunes. I understand that you have done a lot of research into this, but was curious if when you tried to launch the iTunes installer file  did you right click and Run as Administrator? Try that and some of the other steps, if needed, in the article below. 
    If you can't install or update iTunes for Windows

  • 10.5.7 Update Possible Fix for Mail and Safari crash

    Hi all,
    I'm far from a computer whiz, but I've had both my MBP and my MacMini go kaput within 12 hours of each other from what had to be 10.5.7 update. I did the software update install on both without backup :0(
    Anyhoo, I was experiencing same problems as many on the boards. Mail would crash, Safari would crash, etc. Spent three hours and two minutes on phone with Apple Care. Not overly helpful but they tried.
    Ended up creating a new user and migrating data. Took the better part of a day. I do not recommend! Downloading whole installer kind of daunting as I am in Saudi Arabia where internet can be...sketchy...
    I found this post below here and it fixed everything on my Mini. I'm not guaranteeing anything, but it sure helped me. You may want to try it if everything else is not working...
    Props to rwtroxel!

    I think I figured it out. Deleted "Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle" and everything now works.

    Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of the problem already being there, or some filesystem corruption that should have been fixed first, or not having installed the update properly (e.g. applications running while installing it), or having ignored Apple’s “Important: Please read before installing” warnings, etc.
    Quit all the applications and verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, if you’ve installed Safari 3 Beta, uninstall that first, then reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for PowerPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update for Intel
    After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
    If you installed the latest Security Update, you may need to reinstall that as well:
    Security Update 2007-006 (Universal)
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk and back up before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
    BTW, please update the Operating System field on your My Settings’s profile (and click Save), so that the version of Mac OS X you’re running now automatically appears in all your posts and not just in some of them.

  • New Firefox does not allow me to add attitional bookmarks. I can delete but I cannot add a new site or sites. Do you have an instant fix for the problem?

    I have xp and have always been able to use bookmarks. The new Firefox allows me to go to a site with bookmarks, delete bookmarks, but I cannot add a bookmark by clicking on the star.
    Also, Ebay's pages have smaller print (and pictures) than they should have - Google has the correct print and picture size. There is something wrong with Firefox.

  • Is there a fix for the iPad2/iOS7 WiFi dropping issue yet?

    After searching through Many threads regarding iPad2 Wi-Fi issues, I have found a lot of different "solutions" and I've tried them ALL but my Wi-Fi is STILL dropping out on me all the time. My iPad is running iOS version 7.1.2. I am constantly getting errors like
    "We were unable to connect to the servers. Please try again later."
    or
    "Internet Connection Lost",
    or i try to download an app and it just spins for a minute then acts as though nothing happened and the app never installs. I literally can't use any of my apps and the only way to reliably download them onto my iPad is to push it over from itunes with the ipad plugged in via usb after downloading it on my computer.
    I have tried:
    1-Checking connection settings (airplane mode Off, wifi connected to correct secure home network, bluetooth Off, mobile data Off)
    2-rebooting ipad
    3-making sure there's nothing running in the background by double-tapping the home button
    4-removing an apostrophe from the ipad name.
    5-putting the ipad into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    6-going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turning ipad off and on again.
    7-updating router firmware
    8-doing a factory reset, then repeating steps 1 through 6
    Any other ideas?? I really need to make this work! Any help will greatly appreciated.

    8-doing a factory reset, then repeating steps 1 through 6
    Do you mean a restore to factory settings?. If so did you set up as new or restore from back up afterwards?

  • A Fix For the "gets stuck at preparing" issue

    I was having terrible problems trying to get my TC to back up. Like many others, it would get stuck on the "preparing" stage for hours at a time. I found a simple fix on another forum that I haven't seen mentioned here. In the energy saver preference settings, make sure the "put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" is UNCHECKED. I did this and Time Capsule immediately started working the way it is supposed to.
    Hope this helps.

    plausible; if hard drive was sleeping it would not cooperate well with most anything.
    All I can tell you is that I tried every other solution posted here and nothing worked. I did this and it started working flawlessly. Can't believe that Apple doesn't automatically turn this off if you install TC.

  • HT5219 When can we expect a fix for the Windows 8.1 hot-plug issue with a Thunderbolt device.

    When can we expect a fix for the Windows 8.1 hotplug issue with a Thunderbolt device.  I got a dock to easy my up-and-go time when moving from using my laptop on the desk vs in meetings.  Instead my computer crashes and I have to reboot.
    I am seeing this issue with the 2012 Macbook pro Retina running Bootcamp with Windows 8.1 x64 bit with the F4U055 Dock from Belkin

    I can confirm that hotplug does work properly on Windows 8.1 with Asus Thunderbolt ExII (Thunderbolt 2)
    But does not work with Windows 8.1 and MacBook Pro Retina (Thunderbolt 1)
    To get hot plug working with the Asus Thunderbolt ExII, you install the intel thunderbolt drivers, and then you get an interface where you can eject devices, and do things like setup more detailed security. However, this doesn't have any effect with the MacBook Pro. I suspect that either:
    1) Apple's Thunderbolt hardware doesn't support hotplugging on windows
    2) Hotplugging on Windows requires Thunderbolt 2
    So, I should check on my Mac Pro (dustbin edition) to see if it works there with Thunderbolt II
    Be great to hear if anybody has any success with this on an Apple device!

  • My iPad makes a high low high tune every fifteen to twenty minutes, anyone know of this and have a fix for this annoying sound.

    My iPad makes a high low high tune every fifteen to twenty minutes, anyone know of this and have a fix for this annoying sound.

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

    Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
    See:                  Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
    Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

    Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Your upgrade process notifies me that it is not compatible with Avast so I always delete it. Soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not. Please help.

  • With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

    With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?  I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart.  I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.)  Thanks.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Bookmarks are saved yet after using the page icon is still displayed instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display".

    My bookmarks, on a HP Pavilion dv-7-2273cl notebook, are saved yet the page icon is still displayed after using the bookmark instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display" without any success. This problem is not experienced on my much older Gateway desktop.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    What is the fix for the shockwave crash?  I have tried several.....
    I have win7 and firefox

    You are right — insofar as this forum is for the Shockwave Player, the plug-in for content created with Director.
    However, many years ago Macromedia decided to call their brand new player for Flash content "Shockwave Flash", presumably in an effort to piggy-back on the mind-share that Shockwave had already gained. This has caused endless confusion ever since, especially now that the Flash Player keeps crashing. Take my advice and (search then) post on the Flash Player forum — you'll see any number of threads about crashes, presumably with some recommended fixes too
