IPad Air changing sites on safari

My iPad air with latest updates is changing sites on Safari. Most of the time it is to games on the App Store. Sometimes adult games, sometimes kids. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks

HI, Yes I've found the same thing. My workaround is to quickly open another page which allows you to close the previous page and exit safari with just your home page...

IPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server?

using iPad Air wifi works but Safari returns message cannot connect to Apple server? (Friends iPad otherwise couldn't post!)

Many thanks for contacting me Carolyn. However the wifi was working fine and I found the solution from this posting:

So resetting the iPad by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons together to reset it did the job.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Ipad air keep crashing + low on memory

Hi, ive noticed that my iPad Air keeps crashing in ordinary use. Really often Safari crashes,when many (3-6) tabs are open. Ive noticed too that device is running low on memory. My iPhone 5 never crashes and has over 170mb more RAM free when idle.
I have some print screens to show you what is the situation here.

Iphone 5 memory when idle : http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7381/12264936005_dac4d4b7a3_c_d.jpg
Then I open six (6) popular tabs in Safari witch I use in everyday basics,on both devices.

Iphone 5 : http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2881/12265091253_1851bf51c7_c_d.jpg
Then I check the memory in both devices and this happens.

Iphone 5 memory under six Safari tabs open : http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2823/12265091283_ba01493ed9_c_d.jpg
So,the ipad memory is nearly empty when only using safari with few basic websites. Normally Im using same time also Spotify with airplay and check youtube videos etc. Then the Safari starts to reload tabs and usually apps starting to crash randomly.. This is frustraiding.
So, conclusion. When I started this test I rebooted both devices,then let then be idle for 5-10mins. Both devices use "Sys Status" software to check memory.
MEMORY ON IDLE:
iPhone 5 = 586mb
iPad Air = 416mb
MEMORY UNDER STRESS (Six tabs open in Safari)
iPhone 5 = 451mb
iPad Air = 145mb
So the iPhone 5 memory drops 135mb and the iPad Air memory drops 271mb ! Whys that ??
With this test,its obviously clear that iPad air has bad memory problems. Maybe the software update can fix this ? Or should I go to the dealer and change the device to new ?

Hello there, Mark.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with apps downloaded from the App Store:

In your case you may also want to close all apps that are running during the "Restart the App" step.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I changed to ipad air 2 and am unable to download books from overdrive. I am connected to wifi and have tried every option on the overdrive site. It closes everytime I try to download a file.

I changed to ipad air 2 and am unable to download books from overdrive. I am connected to wifi and have tried every option on the overdrive site. It closes everytime I try to download a file.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restart your internet modem and router then try downloading books.

I have an iPad Air. The header when in Safari has turned to a black background. How do I change it back ??

I have an iPad Air. The header when in Safari recently changed to black. How do I get it back to white?

Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

On my iPad Air Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow.

On my iPad Air , Safari crashes and quits when I view a slideshow on an internet site. Sometimes it doesn't crash but the slideshow is freezes. Any idea why?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT201320 Gmail pw works in Safari but not when loaded on Ipad Air

After changing my Google password, I tried loading it on my Ipad Air, but I keep getting error messages stating it is incorrect.
It works fine when I sign into Google through Safari on the same device, but I can't load mail, schedule, etc.

Check out the article below to troubleshoot issues with accessing and setting up Gmail on your iPad. Check to make sure also for any type of two step verification on Gmail’s end if you need to access it to let your iPad have access to it.

New Safari on IOS8 on iPad air.

Hi. I just upgraded to IOS8 on my iPad air yesterday and wish I never bothered because the new Safari is ridiculously annoying to use. The address bar disappears when u scroll down and reappears when u scroll up. This is largely pointless to begin with but its a nice extra to let you use the whole screen, that's of course if it was practical and actually made browsing better.
You have to scroll far too far up to get the address bar and tabs back again. It's just so stupid why make people do that to change a tab. Why add that extra annoyance?
Also, when u zoom out on a page you are suddenly thrown into an odd windows where you can see all your open tabs. Why? Why would anyone want this? Not knowing anything about the feature I have closed tabs by simply not knowing what's happening.
This isn't related but I've been literally tortured with safari on ipad with tabs constantly refreshing which everyone has heard of and agree that it's very annoying. This just makes using safari a real chore.
If i was in charge of this and could sack people behind this I would sack them all. I love Apple software because it's so easy to use but no one seems to support that approach at apple any more.
Anyway im off to check safaris settings to see if I can disable these annoyances and get back to the easy to use safari. I cant check now because if I leave this page for a short while the oage will refresh and I'll have to type this all again lol. Dear goodness what is happening!
Rant over.

great solution skydiver--to say go find another browser. Hate to be mean about it, not your fault.
but apple screwed up on this one. acting more and more like MS and for example MS office which expands to do so much that only power users appreciate it.
I have had apples since 1982 and the 2e and this update pushed me over the edge.
I hate the keyboard and the new icon figure at the bottom, which if you have been typing for decades its easy to touch/swipe and change the keyboard.
do not like the pull down for books marks changing back to left side and function pull down swithching back to right side not that I am comfortable with the reverse change of 2 years ago.
and do not like the idea of the bookmark pulldown staying there and making screen smaller so an extra tap is required to close teh pull down. Whose idea was that?
as long as I am here, the new iphone--actually some people like a smartphone with the smaller screen that gives functionality in small package that could easily fit in a shirt pocket or slacks. ANot everybody is searching for a one unit solution to everything. any larger and we need bigger restaurant tables to hold 4-6 computers.
done with my rant too--it appears many others wil wake up today and upgrade and be surprised.

There is no red underline for misspelled words in Safari on Ipad Air since update

Since updating to the new IOS I don't see that red scribbly underline under misspelled words in Safari (or Google Chrome) anymore on my Ipad Air. I like that underline, cause it's an easy and fast way to see when I mispelled something or made a typo.
The spellcheck function on my Ipad is turned on (the autocorrect and suggestion function are turned off). I do see that red underline in other text programs, like Quickedit, Facebook Messenger and Notes. But not in Safari or in Google Chrome and Google Drive/Documents
I already tried to no avail:
turning the spellcheck, suggestions and autocorrect on and off
Resetting the Ipad (with the home and sleep/wake button)
Deleting my Safari and Google history data
Deleting my dictionary data
Deleting the emoji keyboard
How do I get it to work again?

I suspect that's an actual change to iOS 8, but if it isn't and you think it's a glitch or bug, then open a ticket with Apple Support, so they can get it registered as a problem, so the Apple software people can fix it ...

IOS8 iPad Air (A7) Safari Auto-fill slows text entry down

iPad Air (A7)
iOS8
64GB
I am entering text into the following site (renew a subscription): http://oracle-sub.halldata.com/site/ORA000401OCrenew/init.do?{removed http query params}
Safari auto text is severely slowing text entry (the suggested text at the bottom of the screen is cool, but seems to cause a drag)
Aside from turning this nifty feature off, iOS8 safari seems it needs to be tuned to work properly.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Does iPad Air 2 open PDF files in Safari?

Does iPad Air 2 open PDF files in Safari? Having trouble doing so.

As JimHdk stated, all iOS devices do a great job of opening standard PDFs right in Safari. Note that it is possible for PDF authors to create non-standard PDFs in Adobe Acrobat that will NOT open in Safari but it would be unusual for those PDFs to be posted on a public web site.
Lastly, note that by doing a tap-and-hold on a link for PDF, you can choose to open the PDF in iBooks as well. This is very helpful if you want to retain a local copy of the PDF on the iOS device for later reference.
What happens when you try to open the PDF in Safari?

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs - + sign closes app

Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs or view other tabs.
The + sign just closes the app every single time!
In some cases, the back and forward buttons don't work.
It's driving me crazy becuase if the webpage I'm on opens and ad or tab that I don't want to look at, I can't close it and go back, I have to retype the web address in and find where I was on the site!

I, too, tried all the fixes...nothing worked.
Found another thread on this forum and looks like a lot of us are having same problem.
Next time it happens, go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT and check to see it there is a "low memory" incident report.
If there is:
See the discussion thread "iPad Air Low Memory Crashes".
Seems to be common....this could turn into a HUGH issue.

Safari keeps closing on iPad Air

I have an IPad Air and Safari keeps closing with a variety of sites like Instagram tumblr publico....
For instance try espn.com.br zoom in and out and it automatically closes up.
Does anyone know why? Or if there is a solution?

Closing indicates the Safari app is crashing for some reason.
Try resetting the iPad. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If that does not fix it, check Settings > General > Usage and make sure you have a reasonable amount of free space left on your iPad.
You might try a restore if none of the above work.
