IPad (gen 1) keeps crashing

Hi,
Randomly, but more and more often my original 32 GB WiFi iPad crashes. Totally unforced. No matter what I do. I finally was able to catch it on cam today. On this clip it first crashes with multiple stripes on screen, which is most common, then later with blue screen.
Does anybody have a clue?
Hardware failiure?
As we speak, I'm doing a restore, but I'm sure this will have no effect, since I had this problem since iOS 4.

5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

My iPad gen one keeps crashing while I'm right in the middle of stuff especially while online

Hi my iPad gen keeps crashing. It happens during apps usage, and Internet use mostly. Usually it happens right when I'm writing a message. Sometimes my apps won't even start up, it's like I'm frozen in time. My software is up to date so I'm not sure what else to do.

What exactly do you mean by "crashing" and is it occuring on a specific app or under specific circumstances?

My iPad air either keeps crashing with blue screen or reboots it self. Other times it just locks up. It does not seem to matter what program or process I am doing.

IPad 1 safari keeps crashing!!!!

I have had an apple iPad 1st generation and safari keeps crashing. I have deleted cookies, restarted it, stop apps running in the background and still crashes, very VERY frustrating and I am not paying £500 for a product to behave like this!

Try restoring the device now. If closing all apps and clearing Safari doesn't work, I think that's your next step. Make sure that you backup first so that you can restore from the backup.

My iPad first generation keeps crashing. I have tried all of the suggestions on the forum and they work for a little while but it crashes again. Very frustrated

My iPad keeps crashing and I have tried all suggestions and they worked but not for long. Any suggestions? Very frustrated.

If you really tried all of the suggestions in all of the forums, there is nothing left to try. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask for their help. They have more sophisticated means of diagnosing and restoring than we have as device users.

My iPad first generation keeps crashing

I have had an iPad for a little more than a year and I have had no problems with it. But just today I tried to use it and every app crashes. It worked perfectly before but now it keeps crashing. Is there any way I could fix this problem and maybe even make it a little faster. Thanks

My iPad (new generation) keeps "crashing" ( losing most apps not related ) requiring a complete reset/erase and restore. Does anyone else have this problem? I would like to know what is causing this problem.

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

IPod (5th gen?) keeps crashing iTunes

Hi there. I'm trying to restore my iPod. At first, it kept crashing iTunes when I connected it to my computer so I couldn't even restore. I rebooted and was able to restore but it crashed iTunes during syncing. Now it keeps crashing iTunes when I restart it. Is my iPod dead or is there anything else worth trying here? iTunes software is up to date.

Try the Hrad Reset first
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Then do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, in this earlier post by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but help you decide if your iPod is dead.

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.

I have the first iPad, and it keeps crashing no matter what program(safari) app (iTunes) or game I use. I check the updates regularly and I'm up to date. Why does it keep crashing and how can I fix it?

I have the first iPad (which is considered ancient). I'll open safari and no matter what I'm searching after a few minutes it crashes (it will close safari and bring me back to the main app screen). The last few days I've been searching song on iTunes, and I have the same issue. It closes my iTunes and brings me to the main app screen.
I have checked my updates and everything is current for this iPad. It's a 64gb iPad with 54gb of available space so I know it's not a storage issue.
Does anyone have some pointers on how to keep it from crashing all the time?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If no joy...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...

If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

IPad Air Apps keep crashing after iOS 7.1 Update

Hi, I just upgraded to ios 7.1 on my ipad air. Everything was working fine before the update. But after, everytime I try to open any app, it attempts to start, but then immediately crashes. Even when I download an app from the app store, it still crashes. I have tried everything (restart, reset, hard reset, etc.) and I can't think of anything else to do but replace it which I don't want to do.

Hello jscott1997,
It sounds like all your apps are closing when you open them, even new apps are doing the same thing. I recommend starting by closing all the open apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with the steps in the following article. These steps will erase, and re install the iOS software, so that when you restore from the back up it is not restoring on top of the previous iOS installation:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Sick of my Ipad Gen 1 constantly crashing.. is there a fix for this anywhere?

My ipad constantly crashes time after time while using it.. I have read up on all of the so called helpful suggestions but nothing seems to work .. even have reset and reinstall only the basic apps that came with it to begin with, still crashes.
Does Apple even care about this anymore? Is this part of the phasing out of the older products forcing to upgrade to newer ones?

the last version they would update to.. 5.1.1 (9B206)
Model: MB294LL
My ipad is in great shape. like new, just think their last software has flaws they should take care of
