IPad crashes a lot why?

Why does safari crash

You may want to try this:
1. Backup iPad
2. Setup iPad as new (Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings)
3. Install one app at a time and test it before you install the next; this is to identify the app that cause the crash.

My iPad 1st gen crashes a lot.

When I first got the iPad, it worked great. Never crashed, very smooth and fast. Now my apps crash a lot randomly. I tried a lot. restart, hard reset (no, not wiping, just holding power button down), and it still crashes randomly. How can I fix this? It just started one day. I haven't installed any apps recently either, so I don't think it would be an application.
Thanks!

Hey Fire Bird, although your difficulty may be caused by something you can fix, you may also want to consider that there may be some causes that are beyond your ability to control them in a practical way. I encountered similar issues with my iPad 1 which is one reason why I went ahead and upgraded to the 3rd gen.
One reason apps may crash on iPads is that they run out of operational memory. That's not the same thing as the "Storage" you see in Settings / General / Usage: it's a different type of memory that apps use while they're launched and running. (It's a little more complex than that, but that's the general idea.)
As I understand it, your iPad 1 (along with iPad 2) has 512 KB of this RAM storage. Apple doubled this in the 3rd Gen iPad to 1 GB (1024 KB) of RAM, ostensibly to help support the increased demands of its higher-resolution display.
Over time, apps have become more sophisticated as features have been added, and sometimes that increases the memory that they need to run. The recent shift to support the Retina display in the 3rd Gen iPad has significantly increased the memory needed to manipulate images in most apps (one reason there's been a flood of app updates in recent months).
As you may have read elsewhere, these "improvements" for the iPad 3 can easily have an impact on those of us with older models, because the same app with the high-resolution images for the 3rd Gen comes in the update delivered to our iPad 1s. They're not displayed in their full glory, but they still require the same increase in memory regardless.
All of this increases the "pressure" on the limited memory resources of your iPad 1, and that can easily lead to your seeing an increase in the frequency of app crashes – even if nothing else appears to have changed. Even worse, if a particular app is "close to the edge" in terms of running out of operational memory/RAM, a faster processor can sometimes keep it from dying. (In computers, there's often a trade-off between how fast the processor/CPU is and how much memory/RAM a program needs.)
Not only is the processor in your iPad 1 half the nominal speed of the iPad 2 (which is about the same effective speed as the 3rd Gen iPad), but the 3rd Gen iPad has extra processing resources to stay ahead of the increased demand imposed by its higher-resolution display. Both the iPad 1 and iPad 2, then, lose a little ground because, all else being equal, they're moving a lot more data around inside them (for those high-res images.)
Believe it or not, all this is somewhat of a simplification, because Apple has engineered some pretty amazing mechanisms into their software to minimize the impact of all this extra image data. There's a limit to how effective those techniques can be, however, so you're bound to notice the differences in your iPad's behavior at some point.
As I mentioned in the beginning, this is what pushed me to upgrade from the iPad 1 to the 3rd Gen. I saw the same thing happening that you did and understood that it was most likely something that nobody could fix in the long run. It's an unfortunate fact of life here on the bleeding edge of technology.
So, try some of the things others are suggesting (or may suggest), but keep in mind that there may be only one way to solve your problem, unfortunately.

HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Why does iPad crash so often?

In the middle of playing games or checking Facebook, my iPad crashes and goes back to home page. It does the same thing when I try to share pictures on Facebook. I went to the Apple store today and they helped me backup everything and then completely reset my iPad. The crashes are still happening. Does this mean I need a new iPad?? I don't know what else to do.

Do you have an iPad 1? If you have a newer iPad you need to update to iOS 7.1.

Why does iPad crash when I open Mail app?

My iPad crashes (returns to home screen) each time I open the Mail app. Mail opens for just two seconds, then crashes.
All updates are current on Mac and iPad. I have synced the iPad with my Mac and power-cycled the iPad but nothing helps.
Can I delete and reload just the Mail app? If so, how is that done?
Or do I need connect the iPad to my Mac and do a full Restore of my iPad?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

1. Delete the mail account from your iPad
2. Clean out your mail server. This is typically the webmail from your mail service provider.
3. Readd the account.
Even if you clear out the server, if the account isn't deleted and readded only when the server is clean then the iPad will still try to download the email.
As I wrote earlier:
I have reinstalled my email account twice I got my iPad three weeks ago then and today the problem has risen again.
It may be a solution here and now but I don't find it reasonable that we have to delete and reenter our account info every time we need to use our mail app.
Already from the start there were problems; the mail app froze and I had to restart my iPad...2-3 times during the first couple of days. Normally I am a type who takes this rather casual but I do not think Apple wants us to reinstall our mail account every couple of days, huh? ;o)

Safari crashing a lot after updating iPad to IOS 7.0

The subject is self-explanatory. Safari disappears like lightning, followed by a black screen and a return to Home, n times a day.

Hello vmsda,
I have noticed many iPad users with this problem, it indeed is a pain in the butt.
But a restoration helped me out after helpless tries with the soft reset. Try the soft reset first, so you don't have to mess with your ipad a whole lot.
Good luck mate!

Why does iPad crash

How do I fix iPad when it crashes.

Usually an iPad crashes when an app has an error, or if an app puts more demands on your device than it can handle.
If it's an app, give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple and it reboots. That can clear glitches.

Why does my first generation iPad crash everytime I use it?

Consistently everytime I'm using one of my apps and or on safari my iPad crashes? I just recently updated to ios5 but I was having the problem previously as well? My iPad doesn't shut off completely it it will close me out of the app about 3-5 times everytime I use an app? Can anyone help me figure out the problem?

Hello Craigtri,

IPad crashing during Sync

My iPad has been crashing a lot lately while syncing. It's an iPad 3 running 7.1.1 - been crashing since 7.0 I think. Happens everytime I have a large app (over 200MB) or during movies. Nearly every time. It will do a restart and end sync process. If I'm transferring a movie when it happens the movie will show up in videos but won't be able to play. Apps seem to be stalled in update mode where they can't be opened. I'm on a completely updated Mac Mini, current iTunes version and everything. Anybody else having this issue? Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

I'm running into the very same problem on my 16GB 3G iPad. Almost every time I play video in Safari, not only does the app freeze, but it takes down the entire device. A hard shutdown is the only way to get it back up and running.
If your iPad is freezing while playing video (becomes unresponsive and requires a hard reset) then it quite likely has a H/W problem and needs to be replaced. There will be no S/W fix for this. If you check some of the other threads on this topic you will see that several posters have already done this.
Note that a freeze is distinct from simple network or server problems which cause a video to pause. Nor is a freeze the same as a App crash, e.g., Netflix exits to home page. A freeze locks up the iPad and may also be accompanied by artifacts in the video display.

IPad crashes regularly

After updating OS, iPad crashes regularly. What can I do?

If your iPhone, iPod or iPad, or even just an app, is freezing or crashing regularly, you may review your crash logs to diagnose any reportable issues. Crash logs contain information about what the iPad and its apps were doing just prior to crashing.
To find a crash log file, sync your iPhone, iPod or iPad first, then locate the appropriate log files using the path for your OS shown below. An app's log file’s name should start with the app’s name, for example.
Mac OS X
~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<your iDevice’s name>/
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter\<your iDevice’s name>\
Windows Vista
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\<your iDevice’s name>\
Usually, an iDevice user chooses to allow the reporting of crashes to Apple, Inc. automatically, this being a choice when initially setting up your device. Each time a sync is made, the crash logs get reported. So, Apple has a pretty good idea who's chashing when and where, even why, already. If they acknowledged every crash of an iDevice individually, each and every email to you would have to be redundant to what you've just experienced for yourself. Rest assured, Apple learns a lot from the gross collection of crash reports.
I've just taken a look at my orginal iPad's crash log which shows some 1,500 files, with at least 1,000 of the crashes related to the iPad's low memory. I sense that your review of your own iPad crash reports would pretty much mirror mine.
This is a dilemma, for sure. First, the iPad is really just an original proof-of-concept device. It has been designed with many factors in mind, one being product segmentation. Apple doesn't want the iPad to cannibalize the MacBooks too quickly so there must be some limitations built into the iPad to prevent unwanted occurrences. After all, the MacBooks make up 75% of Apple's business these days. Balancing the MacBooks and the iPads amounts to a dangerous business and the consequences of wrong decisions can become catastrophic.
The amount of memory in the iPad is obviously limited, purposely. The Daily Newspaper demonstrated this fact early on. Today, Apple is pushing greater resolutions requiring bigger files for HD stuff and app developers are assuming, probably, that they can eventually force Apple to increase memory sizes in the iPads. We users expect the Pulse app, for example, to function without flaws but, of course, this app interacts directly with the internet where sites have files in sizes the iPad cannot easily handle. It's a programmer's nightmare, balancing memory requirements.
Apple's competitors know all about these common crashes, too. Watch the tablets appear with greater amounts of memory offered, if only to make a manufacturer's products look technically superior to Apple's. However, Apple is famous for saying "NO!" to a lot of technology for sound reasons. But, future iPads are likely to include increased memory which means that our original iPads will quickly become out-of-date since content providers seem to be assuming that the iPad will someday replace the notebook computer.
Apple may not have anticipated the early enterprise adoption of the iPad but that adoption is becoming rampant and the demand to stop all this crashing will grow more loud quickly. Apple knows all about this issue and we might only wait for both software and hardware improvements. Content providers may hold the most immediate solution, though, by showing more discipline with their creations.

My iPhone 5s crashes a lot!!!

Hello there,
Why is my iPhone 5s crashing a lot with almost every app I use even sometimes when I open Settings? I like the phone so far other than this very annoying issue. This is my 2nd device after returning the 1st one because of the same problem plus and issue with the microphone that seemed to be over heated after a long period of phone call, and maybe this device will end up to be returned too. I've done hard reset/soft reset many times and even tried to restore as new (from scratch) but nothing really has changed. I enabled the automatically send for diagnostics and usage so that Apple might notice the crazy reports I get from crashing. Please I need help as soon as possible.
Best,
Adel

I don't understand what you're asking.
"But what about settings? Is that also something I can even delete?" I don't follow.
You cannot delete the "Settings" category. You can delete some of the apps that have settings set from within settings. That would delete their settings.
Say you have a suspicious app called "Zzyzx". You could delete that app by holding its icon until it wiggles, then click the "X" in its upper left. If Zzyzx had some settings, deleting the app would delete its settings as well.
"Apps work fine sometimes, but sometimes they just crash." Regardless, find those suspicious ones and delete them. Of course, all Apple's apps cannot be deleted (they would not show the "X" when wiggling the icons). But that is fine - they are not suspicious.
