IOS 8.1 Safari not loading, goes back to home screen

I have an iPhone 5, 5S and ipad air all on version 8.1.  Safari is not working on any of them.  It tries to load, the blank safari screen comes up, then it crashes and goes back to home screen.  I have to use google chrome to access the internet. I tried restoring my one phone to factory, installed the backup, reset the safari data, reset network settings and still no help.  Can anyone tell me how the **** to delete safari and re-install it? I don't know what else to do about this issue.

ok. seems to be working now. i wiped (settings/general/reset/erase all content and settings) the iphone6plus that had 8.1 on it and backed up from a backup made with 8.0.2.
Mail is now loading instantly. but now i have to load all my passwords again for everything - even though i had encrypted backups. weird.

  • Email from 1 person will not open, goes back to home screen on iPad and iPhone

    I used to be able to open emails (Gmail account) from this person, but for the last week his emails will not open. On my iPhone and iPad, when I click on his email I go back to the home screen. I can open the email from my laptop just fine.
    Any ideas?

    If it happens again, do the following (which will not harm any content on your device): Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon). Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • Ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Could also be not enough free space for the iPad to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    If neither of these suggestions helps, Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My phone screen goes blank and after a minute or so goes back to home screen. why?

    hello. my phone screen goes blank and after a minute or so goes back to home screen. why? any help please?

    Howdy mbaeguasu,
    It sounds like your iPhone may be restarting unexpectedly while you’re using it. Take a look at the article linked below and, if you haven't already, try installing the latest version of iOS on your device.
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    So long,

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

      Try to Reset your device: 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

  • Safari goes back to home screen when opened using Safari icon

    I dropped my iphone Saturday, fortunately I had it in my Otterbox case which was in its holster. Thank God there was no physical damage to the phone. However, now I notice that every time I want to use Safari using the Safari icon on the home screen, it doesn't respond and kicks me back to the home screen after a few seconds. I reset the iphone first, deleted cookies, history and cache finally did a restore and still kicks me back to the home screen. If I click one of bookmarks I have on my home screen it works fine, it's unresponsive basically when it opens on a blank page. Any help will be deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    The apps (mail and Safari) are crashing for some reason. I would start with this.
    Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar where all of your recent apps will appear. Hold down on the mail app icon until it wiggles - along with the rest of the icons - and then tap the minus sign in the corner of the icon to cloase the app. Close Safai the same way and continue to close all of the apps in the task bar. Tap the screen above the task bar to return to the home screen.
    Now restart your iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the  red slider bar appears and slide to shut off. To power up, hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and then let go of the button. Try Mail and Safari again to see if that helped.
    If that doesn't work - reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. After the iPad has started up, try the apps again.
    One last thing you may try for Safari is this ... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Then restart the iPad like I explained above and try Safari again.

  • My ipad keeps going back to home screen.  how can i fix that

    My iPad keeps going back to the home screen.  It happens when I tried to use one of my apps or when I open a new screen to browse the web.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Try resetting your iPad by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If still a problem, try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.
    If still a problem, restore via iTunes... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Ipad2 goes back to home screen during pdf download, and aborts download

    Ipad2 goes back to homescreen during pdf download.  Have done shut downs, cleared active screens, etc.  Still occurs about 1 minute in to a download

    When was the last time you powered your iPhone off and on?
    Try a reset instead which is similar to a computer restart. Press and hold the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • Goes back to home screen after 2 seconds of trying to load music, videos or even iTunes

    This happened awhile ago when trying to download the new Software for it (4.2), but wouldn't let me and stuck with Software 2.2.1. I put my music back on it and worked fine. Till I tried to open Music, Video or iTunes App on the iPod.
    Anyways I gave up on it and didn't care till now. I've restored it (Power+Home Button) and tried Erase All Content and Settings. Still doesn't work no matter what I do. I can't restore it from iTunes because it tries to update it and that won't work.

    Not a good error:
    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
