IPad 4th Gen and Safari crashing, plus running like a slug after IOS7 upg

Since I updated my iPad 4th Gen with the latest IOS it has become the worst piece of electronic equipment I own, I received in February as a birthday present and now I feel it’s totally useless.
Safari crashes constantly, it takes forever to open any url I try to go to, I have multiple I mean multiple tabs/ or whatever they call them now that I just cannot close, Its runs like a dead slug, it’s so slow, it’s a absolute nightmare.
I would actually liken it to the early days of Microsoft’s first attempts at windows, yea I know I said it. I’m typing this on my Windows 8 pc and you know what it actually works very very well. Unlike my nice new IPad, which after the update does not, the problems are too numerous to mention. What are apple doing about it ? and has anyone found a solution - fix - workaround please.

I'm having the same issue. Safari is useless. I have tried numerous things to try to fix it and it is not working at all. It's slow and I can't close any tabs either. I just got my IPad 4 three weeks ago so I feel your pain. I wish Apple would fix this. I use Chrome and Mercury apps for browsing and they work just fine. However, I have no problems on my IPhone 4s with the update.

IPad 4th gen video streaming crash

Bought my iPad 4th gen a few days ago, upgraded straight away to iOS 6.0.1
Whenever I stream video the system crashes and the iPad screen goes black then reboots.
Has happened via YouTube from safari, embedded facebook youtube and also news websites.
Any ideas on what it could be?

Have tried restoring to factory via iTunes with no luck, will just return to place of purchase I think.

My ipad 4th gen 32gb keeps crashing everytime i use a app that deals with a map?

I updated my ipad 4th gen 32gb to iOS 7 and since then anytime i use a app that deals with a map it crashes for instance find my iphone, find my friends and the built in map app on the ipad. I restored the ipad when it first started happening and its still doing it. I do the soft reset and it seems to do not a thing to help out the matter. The first time it happened i was using my built in map app and the ipad started crashing and wouldnt stop, it went on for like 3 hours kept turning on and turning right back off when it turned back on and it would do that for the whole 3 hours it probably crashed and turned back on 200 times. I had to do a command reset using itunes on my macbook pro to get it to stop doing it and ive not used the map app since because of it. So recently ive used find my friends and find my iphone and it would crash my ipad once and when it came back on it wouldnt crash again so i would just go and kill the app that caused it to crash.

I restored my ipad as a new ipad deleted all the backups for the ipad from my itunes and then set it up as new and put all my photos and music and apps back the way they was and i havent really messed with the apps with maps in it but the crashing is still happening and its happening inside the settings app id love if someone could help me out its starting to get pretty annoying. Thanks.

Help! I uninstalled FaceTime on iPad 4th gen. and need it back. How do I recover this app?

Hi,
I uninstalled FaceTime thinking I would never use it.
Of course now I need it.
How do I recover FaceTime App for my iPad? (4th gen. Wi-fi + Cellular & retina.
Not terribly techno-knowledgable...appreciate any assistance
Thank you

Stedman!
My apologies...soon after posting the question I found your exact answer in a reply to a similar one.
Im sorry for wasting your time, but am most grateful for your reply.
One further question? Perhaps I need to re-post...
Is it possible to remove the 'camera' option in FaceTime and use just as a "call only" type app?
Again,
Many thanks

IPad 4th gen seems that Safari will return to home page when new mail downloads during web

iPad 4th Gen. Safari will return to home page when it seems to download new mail when I'm on the web!

Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reset your iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Apple keyboard with my iPad 4th gen

I have an ipad 4th gen and want to use the std Apple keyboard. If I buy anotther will it clash with the keyboard on my Mac

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

HT201406 Can screenprotectors affect touchscreen functionality on the iPad 4th gen?

I have a brand new iPad 4th gen and had a Zagg Invisishield screen protector put onto it. I want to know if that can cause touchscreen issues. I have found there are dead spots on the touchscreen and also at times, phantom touching happening as well. I don't want to remove the screen protector until I know for sure because it was a little pricey.

I am having the same problems with some apps. Ice Age Village does not work now with Ipad 4.

IOS 7 Major lag problem on iPad 4th gen.

two(2) questions that I need answers to:
1.) On iOS 6 the same animation was shown whether you used the home button or four finger pinched to go home. On iOS 7 using the button results in the stock animation which is fine, but the gesture results in a half closed application hang mess.This particular problem happens quite often. This is a problem that I and other iPad 3rd and 4th generation users have noticed. What is happening to Apple's iPads and what are they doing to fix this?
2.) Since I updated my iPad 4th gen. to iOS 7 Simple tasks like changing wallpaper takes 10 seconds , changing between tabs in settings is taking more than a few seconds. For me iOS 6 was much more smoother than the current iOS 7software. What is Apple trying to do about this?
Pls don't tell us that that we have to erase all content and settings. We shouldn't have to completely wipeout our devices to make the OS work right.
I can't believe Apple let these major problems slip right pass them.

You ought to address the questions you are demanding answers to to Apple. There are only other users here in these forums.

No wifi connection on new iPad 4th gen

Help please ive just bought the ipad 4th gen and it wont connect to any wifi networks, im unable to complete the setup because of this. Ive tried different networks and still nothing.I have also tried reseting it but nothing same thing keeps happening, is this common with the new ipads because i have the first one and have never had any trouble connecting to wifi

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Ipad 4th Gen Siri runs by itself and reboots by itself

Ok SO I have this wacky Ipad 4th gen that was stuck in reboot mode with low battery.
I got past that and restored the Ipad now the thing will start Siri all by itself without me touching the home button and some times for no reason it will just shut down and restart by itself.
It seems on occasion the Sleep/Wake button will not communicate with Ipad or possibly teh Home button is stuck or something ad I have found that SIri starts all by itself and I cannot back out of apps some times by using the home button.
Could it possibly be something going on with teh home button itself and how would I go about testing it and possibly fixing it? Are they connections that can be cleaned with electrical contact cleaner? I have a couple different types that I use on my Peavey Amps and my Behringer Mixer so I know they are safe for plastics and switches, buttons , linier sliders etc..
I was in process of buying this from my neighbor then his wife wanted it back and it started erroring so she opened it and I am not sure if possibly it could of damaged a Ribbon or possibly teh memory cpu?
I cannot see anything obviously wrong with ribbons etc. Except the Digitizer cable did get bent and kinked a bit but it seems to work fine.

If the neighbor's wife opened the iPad up for any reason at all, I surely would not want to purchase it now. She may have done damage to it and I wouldn't take the chance.
If you don't want to shell out the cash for a new device, buy a refurb from Apple and get something reliable or some thing that at least has a warranty of some kind.
Leave the iPad and it's repairs for your neighbor and walk away.

Recently updated ipad (4th gen) to 8.1 and iCloud not syncing Contacts, Notes etc.

I recently updated my iPad 4th gen to iOS 8.1 and upon setting up the iCloud, I've found that myiCloud data is not getting updated in my iPad. I o not see my contacts, notes safari bookmarks etc. I signed into iCloud.com from a PC on chrome to see if i had accidentally deleted the stuff, but it's all there. It was working fine when i was on ios 7.0.6. I also have an iphone 5s running ios 7.0.6 on which the icloud runs very fine. i make changes on my phone and they are reflected on the browser in my pc (eg: notes edit on the iphone 5s shows a change in my browser on pc, also changes done using browser show in my iphone, but not iPad). I have tried restoring my ipad to a clean ios 8.1, switched on and off the icloud options, signed out signed in, restarted, but nothing seems to work. My contacts, notes are empty.

Try reset iPad.
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.
