IOS 5.0 - IPad v1 - Frequent Crashes

I own three IPad 32G 3G devices. Two have been updated to IOS 5.0. Both devices are experiencing frequent lockups followed by reboots. The lock ups are usually during videos and are associated with an odd sound shortly before reboot. I have yet to be able to watch a movie for longer than about 2 minutes before this occurs.
I am also experiencing similar lockup issues on my iPhone 4 after the upgrade. Also with video and "Words with Friends" crashes almost immediately upon boot too.
I have tried powering off the devices as well as killing the apps (if it doesn't crash and reboot on its own). This doesn't appear to resolve the issue.
Any resonable suggestion short of "reset it and start over" would be welcome.

After ios 8 update ipad began to crash

after ios 8 update apps been crashing and ipad began rebooting by it self it use to do it when first updated to ios 7 until the bug fix update was sent out what to do

Similar problem too with iPad 2. After updating it just continues to search and won't connect to 3G (verizon). I spent 5 hours at the local apple store and they couldn't solve the problem. There was another person there too with the exact same problem with an iPad 2 and they couldn't fix it either.
After all of this time they had no solution except to buy a new iPad ....... unbelievable. The issue is not a coincidence and it is obviously due to the software update. Apple's arrogance to openly address and fix the issue is astounding. Very poor customer service for a company that is supposed to be so progressive.

How to fix iPad 3G frequent crashes and going to reboot loop

II'm having problems with my iPad 3G iwi-fi it always crashes while using and sometimes it goes to a reboot loop. I tried everything reset, pressing the home and power buttons, and even restored it many times but still the problems can't be fixed. Is there someone knows what to do?

If anyone has faced this issue and was able to fix it, I am hoping from you to share your fix.
If no fix is there, so i can take it to be fixed since it is not under warranty, and wehre i live it will cost a lot for fixing

Iphone 4s wifi problems and frequent crashes post 7.1 update

Hello!
I have an iphone 4s for about a year now.
After updating to iOS 7.1, I experienced frequent crashes and intermittent wifi connection inability (wifi button greyed out).
I have reset my phone 2-3 times to factory settings but the problem is still there.
Frequent crashes and intermittent wifi connectibility. (Mostly absent)
The phone was working perfectly until I upgraded to iOS 7.1.
Is there a 4s wifi patch or a new iOS update (7.1.1??) coming out??
Please let me know, this is very frustrating!
I am a doctor and sometimes I am on call. Having an unreliable phone (I sometimes find it frozen or turned off), is not an option for me.
Thank you very much

IPad 1 Safari crashes frequently. I went to many Apple stores in different countries and each Apple staff member had their own different opinions with no help. I had upgraded my iOS to 5.1.1 and the Safari crashing started about one year

IPad 1 Safari crashes frequently. I went to many Apple stores in different countries and each Apple staff member had their own different opinions with no help. I had upgraded my iOS to 5.1.1 and the Safari crashing started about one year after the upgrade and some Apple staff blame this- but this started one year later after the iOS upgrade. Recently at the Apple Store in Vancouver an Apple staff reset my computer (erased everything and sent to iCloud to reset the iPad) and I hoped this would fix the problem. IPad Safari still crashes. Short of booking an appointment for taking it for repair to Apple technicians which will cost me money can anyone help me to fix this Safari crashing.

Hi,
You might have a 3rd party plugin that isn't compatible with Safari 4.0.4. Go here for help...
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
If you are using a USB hub, try disconnecting and restarting with just your keyboard and mouse connected.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

Also, you could download and install the 10.5.8 combo update (PowerPC) available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
It contains fixes that might help. Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari

After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari.

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
You may need to restore your iPad. That's where you back it up, then restore it to factory defaults, then put your backup back on so you don't lose any data. Sometimes a fresh start clears out any glitches and can help.

IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, many apps require iOS 6.0 or later. also since updating to 5.1.1 safari frequently crashes.

My IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, however many apps require iOS 6.0 or later what can I do?
Also, since updating to 5.1.1 Safari frequently crashes. Help!!!!!!

5.1.1. is the end of the line for the original iPad. You can't go beyond that. As for the safari crashes, is it tied to specific websites? Have you tried clearing the cache and history?

Frequent crash on iPad 1

iOS Ver: 5.1.1
Model: MC497LL
As advised in many forum thread, I had it set to factory default and without any content or app, it's still crashing.
I am feeling frustrated.
Should I downgrade it from 5.1.1 to original iOS?
I don't care if I don't get to use iCloud for i want this stupid to stop crashing on me.
With original iOS it never used to crash.
With new iOS release, apple made it worse rather then making it any better.
Now, I don't know how to downgrade it as I don't have original backup.
Do you think at genius bar they can downgrade it?
Thanks,

Same CRASHING issues :( iPad model 1,1 - OS version 5.0.1 (9A405). Diagnostics & Usage Data plists NUMEROUS Low Memory (which i clearly do not understand LOW Memory since there is 61GB's free memory remaining on my iPad). Safari crashes daily but not as frequently as ONE particular 3rd party app (www.Breaktimestudios.com - Pocket Potions). I have submitted an issue report to Break Time Studios and they have contacted me requesting crash/plist reports - which I have submitted to their technical department but still no resolution from even their techs. The only offering from one of their techs is "connection glitches"... Ya right!! (HaHa) I really wished that Apple thru their iTunes Sync could have a Run Diagnostics Test option to check for even hardware issues & options that could resolve issues or offer suggestions if there happened to be a App/Software issue.

My iPad continues to crash frequently despite closing app's not being used?

Have you got a lot of memory that's being taken up or a lot of iCloud services taking place? It might be something to do with the iOS, have you tried a system restore? If you do remember to back up all your files!

If you can't update via wifi, you can use a friend's computer, or an Apple store will do it for you.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Hi,
I have create one application which is working fine in simulator of Iphone. But when i deployed this application in Ipod device. It is frequently crash which is not applicable for any client.

Thanks.

Hi, can you please specify what type of iPod devices are you testing with?
Older iPod and iPads have very limited RAM, and application can run out of memory. We would have to look at what model of iPod touch it is, and see if it has enough RAM to run the app.
Thanks,

Ever since I downloaded IOS 8 my IPad has been slower, stalling and now it completely crashed and I can't restart. It's the Ipad 2. Is there anyway I can do?

Ever since I downloaded IOS 8 my IPad has been slower, stalling and now it completely crashed and I can't turn it on at all! It's the Ipad 2. Is there anyway I can do?

Hey Basketsopugs,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with a third-party application after the iOS 7 update. The following article outlines the best procedure for troubleshooting this issue:

Frequent crashes on iPad original. No programs running except one in uses. Reasons?

Frequent crashes on iPad original. No programs running except one in use. Reasons?

Yes. Check to make sure that the iPad is functioning correctly before you reinstall everything. There is a chance that something in the backup may be corrupt.

Every since i updated to ios 5 my ipad keeps crashing

Since I updated to ios 5 my ipad keeps crashing. All you see is the Apple logo on the screen and thats as far as it goes. The only way to fix it is to restore it. Any suggestions?

Since iOS 5 has been available since September, I wonder why this is starting now ...
Anyway, which iPad version do you have ... the original one? How did you load iOS 5 -- through iTunes? On which operating system - windows or Mac?
Do you have an iPad backup? Then yes, you should restore and reinstate the backup for starters.
