IPAD (first gen) slow, app crashing after IOS5

Hi all,
After upgrading to IOS5 my IPAD (1st generation) became really instable. Nearly all the applications suddenly crashes after some time, all the IPAD behavior seems really slow.
It seems to be correlated to a lake of memory with IOS5. This can be seen with some applications like Atomic web browser: before IOS5 it was possible to open multiple tabs, with IOS5 the browser can't load the content of only 2 tabs!
What's the issue with IOS5 and IPAD 1st gen?
Thanks for your advices

I haven't had these problems (I too have iPad 1), so I don't really understand why you are. If a restore as a new device isn't resolving them I'm not sure what else to suggest.
I think this is most likely to be a misbehaving app, but I can't suggest which one.
Apple has never supported downgrades to earlier iOS versions. If you Google, you will find many sites with details of how to do it, but we cannot discuss it here.

Apps crashing after ios5 update.

I had upgraded iPad 2 to iOS 5.after this many of the third party apps crashes suddenly. To name some of them include , accuweather, toi.
I did deleted all the apps & freshly installed them after iOS5 upgrade. Is this bug in iOS5. Is there any fix?

I have the same issue. This is what I've tried so far and nothing has worked:
1. Downloaded a free app and installed it. I agreed to all of the App Store's new agreements.
2. Rebooted the iPad 2.
3. Logged-in to iTunes while connecting the iPad 2 to my PC.
The only semi-solution is to reinstall all third party apps manually(delete first, then go to the App store and re-install each indivdual App).
They should have found this big issue in beta.
Also, I noticed text looks a bit blurred on my iPad 2 now. When i type 2 lowercase "l"s next to each other, they appear as 2 "l"s.

Why are my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 so slow, and crashes after the iOS 8 updates?

Even after the iOS 8.0.2 update, both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 are very slow to respond to the touchscreen. Some of my apps crash. Safari is very slow. Everything about the iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 are just overall slow, and sometimes unresponsive. I feel like I am using one of the first android touchscreen phones and tablets. They do not any longer feel like an Apple product. I wish I had never updated.

Also forgot to mention about the syncing with iTunes. Each morning, I have to literally turn off and then turn back on the 4S iPhone and the iPad 2 to get them to be seen by iTunes and sync. Yes, I am using the updated 11.4 iTunes on my iMac.

After installing the new software on my ipad, all of my apps crash after opening the app.

After I have installed the new os update on my ipad, all of my apps will crash shortly after I open them. Is any on else have this issue?

Yes Julian's responce is correct. It Worked!!

ICICI iMobile app crashes after IOS5 update

The app has been crashing since the IOS5 update...any idea on how to make it work again?

I also face similar problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Why are several Apple apps crashing after update to IOS5? Safari, Appstore and iBooks all crash Frequently :-(

Sine I updated to IOS 5.0.1 my iPad(version 1) crashes quite often.
Especially when using Safari, Ibooks and Appstore.
It is quite frustrating and I have feeling that there are memory leaks.
Would be good to know if Apple are working on these problems.

Well, I have an iPad 2 3G 32GB end I can say ios 5 is PERFECT, really never seen an appstore app crashing!(200 apps + games installed), the only system app crashing sometimes is Safari, very rarely.
Os works very fast, notification center is awsome, the battery is good.
Its perfect!
iOS 5 on the iPad 1 of ipad different story, AppStore apps crashing all the time, settings apps crashing, reminders crashing. bad Battery 3-4 h! VERY slow.Rubbish!
I guess what I'm trying to say is, the old ipad its slow end crashes, and so, if you want better, you upgrade.

My iPad (first gen) crashes each time I put it in the keyboard dock

My iPad (first gen) crashes each time I put it in the keyboard dock. When I put it in, it freezes and I need to do a reset..

It's not possible to say, it depends on how much of that data changes between back ups.
The first time it will use up 6 GB, if you have changed say 500 KB when you next back up, then you'll use 500 KB.

IPad apps crash after installing iOS 4.2

After i installed iOS 4.2 almost any app crashes after a few minutes to the home screen and changes arent saved yet. Some apps handle it a bit longer, some crash right after a minute or so.
Any idea why or what to do?

IPad first gen 3g, battery died, wont start

I have been happily using my iPad first gen since i got it when the iPad 3g launched. Every night i would put it on the charger, but recently i went back vacation and didnt charge it for a week. When i got home my iPad was dead, so i placed it on the charger. It shows the charger connecting, the symbol on the face turns to the lightning bolt with a flashing red empty battery. After sitting like this for four hours, it still refuses to boot up. This is the exact same charger i have used for years, and i have tried pressing the home and lock button to force a restart (after about 6 seconds it just turns off). No idea whats wrong, hoping he isnt dead because i cannot afford a new one =(

Check that your cable is in good working order and that you are using the appropriate charger. The iPad required a 10W charger, not the 5W that comes with an iPhone. Most other third-party chargers not SPECIFICALLY stated to be for iPad will charge, but very slowly.
Also, you should;t let the battery drain completely before charging it. You can do that maybe once per month, but repeatedly doing this is not good for Li-ion batteries. Follow Apple's recommendations for battery care and you should be ok. https://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html

IPad Address Book (Contacts.app) crash on launch

my iPad address book (Contacts.app) crashes on launch
this problem also affects me when trying to send emails: the email app works fine for reading emails, but as soon as I write a new email and go to the "To" or "cc" or "bcc" boxes to input a recipient address, mail crashes, presumably because the Address book is being accessed at this stage.
I can see that the above can be an Address book (Contacts.app) problem.
Am running pre iOS 4.2 version of the iOS (likely the most up to date pre recent update), i.e. I don't have folders or multi-tasking yet.

OK FIRST , DID U SET UP THE EMAIL CAL AND CONTACTS CORRECTLY? AS FOR IT CRASHING IT SHOULDNT EVEN IF IT IS BLANK! NOW FOR THE PART ABOUT EMAIL NOT WORKING......I RECOMMEND U JUST RESTORE IT AND "YES" begin as a new device!!!! I HAD SAME PROBLEM EXCEPT MINE WAS : backup successful, restore successful, update to 4.2 successful, sync of backup back to iPad successful, ha ha then when I turn iPad on BLANK!!!!! OH THE CAPACITY BAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COMPUTER SCREEN IN ITUNES WAS 10.7 gb of music 9.2 of movies, and 5.7 gb of games..... WELL IPAD WAS EMPTY!
Sync 3 times same result..... RESTORED IT AND SYNCED BACKUP DATA AGAIN, still nothing! SO I RESTORED AND STARTED NEW! PERFECT?!
So I had to select the apps and other media that I wanted to put back on it! AND YES I LOST ALL THE PHOTOS (maybe I haven't found it on pc, so for now I assume lost) but PRIOR TO UPDATE I EMAILED ALL MY NOTES TO MYSELF SO THEY WERE JUST A COPY AND PASTE BACK TO MY NOTES APP ON THE IPAD!
Same with photos! Yeah tedious but I like to SEE INFO SAVED prior to any apple updates! So yeah there is something wrong with the sync portion of the update! So I suggest u just swallow loss and forget the data! AS FOR CONTACTS: just hop on computer and email a GROUP EMAIL OF CONTACTS TO IPAD THEN SET UP EMAIL ON IPAD AND THEN GO TO THAT EMAIL AND ADD THEM TO CONTACTS MANUALLY (or u can use your email server and sync via iTunes (see last tab on the iTunes menu for your device and there u can choose to sync calendars too)

IPhone 4s with ios6 all apps crashing after opening

iPhone 4s with ios6 all apps crashing after opening. Yesterday my phone started to crash. Everytime i started whatsapp or others, it stars working at first than goes back main screen. Resetted the device by pushing home and lock buttons. Nothing happened. Tried to format and it's worked again. But i don't want to set my phone from beginning. When i restored from backups nothing happened. Only hard format fixed. what else can i do with this situation ?

@alperkilislioglu,
Try restoring it but set it up as a new iPhone this time. If that does not work then bring it to Apple.

Ipad2 very slow and crashing after OS8 upgrade 8.1.1

ipad2 very slow and crashing after OS8 upgrade 8.1.1. I have tried to restore, using the iCloud backup (twice) and it works well for a short while then slows and crashes again. Genius bar help said older versions of OS8 never closed apps, so a restore should fix it, but it didn't, even with a repeat.

Hello joey:
Try resetting Safari
Trash the preference file and restart (com.apple.safari.plist).

IPad first gen Calendar will not show month view for March. When you go feb to march the pad goes back to the home screen. Apr etc are all there. March seems to have some problem always going to the home screen. How can I fix this

I am haveing trouble with the calandar view on an iPad first gen. the month of March will not display , no matter how it is asked for the device drops out of calandar and defaults to the home screen. all other months display. Any fix suggestions welcome.

Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

IPad first gen not turning on!

Hello, please help me!! My iPad first gen isn't turning on!! It's just a black screen. Tried resetting it and tried dfu mode but nothing!! When I plug it in to charge then the screen keeps flashing on and off, no apple logo just a black screen lighting up and switching off immediately and looping again. When I plug it out of charge then its completely unresponsive!! Not even lighting up!! Tried whacking it near the headphone jack but still not working... Is there a problem with the battery? Or the screen. I've never dropped it ever. Itunes doesn't recognise it at all. Do I have to replace the battery or something? I really need help so please help me!! I'm going crazy!!
thank you soo much

I went to to apple to fix it and they said it's the batteries problem so they did something and now instead of a black screen it has an apple logo!! It's progress!! But they said the battery is gone bad so I have to change it but apple is not allowed to do that so I'm guessing I have to do it myself... Oh well, thank you for your help!!
