IPad2 - Safari froze

Does anyone know how to reset Safari on iPad2 ? It froze right after I went onto a site. I cant close any of the pages and don't know how to reset my iPad 2. If I do reset, will I lose my apps? Help.
Thanks,
Robbie

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and 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.

    So plese help me fixing this problem as soon as posible.
    Regards

    Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
    A bit more info:
    -tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
    Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
    -tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
    -tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
    -tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
    There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

  • Since upgrading to version 8.02 my iPad2 Safari does not work properly.please help

    Since I upgraded to version 8.02 on my iPad2 Safari and Google Chrome do not work beyond displaying a series of websites.
    When I want to enter a website they do not respond .
    Can anyone tell me what I can do about this?

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

  • Safari froze and when i forced the log off the icon disappeared, does any one know why

    Safari froze and after I did a force log off the icon disappeared, does any know why?

    I have been scouring everywhere for a solution to a similar problem where the audio would drop out for a second or two ever 5 or so seconds - regardless of whether we were streaming content or using an iPad and Air Play.
    I tried changing the audio channels on the ATV as suggested elsewhere and here - no luck. 
    Played with the settings on the Air port Express - no luck.
    We swapped the ATV to a different tv and it worked fine.
    Then played with the audio settings on the SONY Bravia - no luck.
    Swapped the audio out on the ATV to play through the Air Port Express and plugged in the some headphones.  NO AUDIO DROP OUTS!
    My deduction - a problem with the HDMI cable.  Borrowed a friend's cable - wasn't going to spend another $50+ if the cable wasn't the problem.  And lo and behold the HDMI cable was the problem.
    Only took 3 hours.

  • Safari froze and then can't reinstall Safari 3.1.2

    As seen in other posts, my Safari program would not open yesterday. It would freeze before opening a window and then crash. It seems others have had this problem and I followed the advice that worked for them. I deleted com.apple.safari.plist I repaired permissions. I even repaired disk (no problems there). I then uninstalled Safari. Using IE, I downloaded Safari 3.1.2 but could not install because it said I needed to be running 10.5.2 or newer. I am running 10.5.5 (another scratch of head here). I then used Pacifist to extract Safari 3.0.4 from the installation disk. Installed Safari 3.0.4 and then tried to open it. It froze again. Any ideas on what I should try next?
    Thanks!

    I am seeing this problem all over the discussions over the last few days, but no real solutions.
    Last night, safari started freezing at startup before opening a window for me too. Nothing new was installed since it last worked.
    I deleted safari, deleted the plist, and tried to reinstall 3.1.2. Of course, as with you, it told me that I needed 10.5.2 or later, when I have 10.5.5, and that it could not install.
    Many users having the same problem around the same time, with no solutions at all.

  • IPad2 Safari or iCloud Privacy Issue, unknown user's history appears

    After turning the new iCloud on, my iPad2's Safari shows browsing "history" of unknown user. Just today, in the morning I cleared my history and cache before I left home. When I returned home this evening and opened Safari, it started with google image page showing offensive images. I checked history and it showed dozen google images search links. The content include baby poops, touching elephants, and injured nipples and so forth that are very obscene.
    I am suspecting this to be iCloud bug. APPLE! Please look into this as I do not want my little child to accidentally hit Safari and see these unacceptable photographs!!!! This is very serious privacy violation matter!

    We were all out all day today, and this is what happened first thing after we came home. I am aware that Apple is not going to necessarily see this, and the point is everyone should know this potential issue. Besides, there are other better ways to spread the words like Twitter, FB, etc. The fact that someone already saw the posting within a few minutes is amazing.

  • IPad2 Safari crashed after iOS 5 update

    After upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS 5, my Safari crashed, at first it worked OK, but once I closed all existing tabs, it freezed, then crashed.
    I clear all the cache, closed the app, and reboot my iPad2 (power + home for 10 seconds), and re-open the Safari, still no luck!!
    It freezes as before, and no response even I try to touch any part of it. Try to launch it by opening a link from email, no luck! Blank screen, then crashed, back to home screen.
    Any suggestion and solution??
    Many many thanks!!!

    Did you try closing Safari before you reset the iPad? Close the app and then clear the cookies and cache again, restart the iPad and see if that helps.
    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.

  • IPad2- Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server? Internet works but this message continues to pop up. My iPhone works fine and iPad has been working great until a few days ago.

    IPad2- cannot open page, Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server? Internet works but this message continues to pop up. My iPhone works fine and iPad has been working great until a few days ago.
    Message is almost acting like a pop up.

    Hi
    I constantly get same message.  When I open up my windows laptop all works fine so I guess it's a bug that apple refuse to admit to.

  • IBook died last night when Safari froze

    A little background: I've had myriad problems with my iBook, starting last summer. Since that time it has crashed twice...all after the 90 day warranty ran out.
    Last night after a few problems booting I was able to surf the Web for a while when Safari unexpectedly froze. I tried rebooting a few times and nothing. I did a hardware check and everything seems OK. I tried reloading OSX and that's where I'm having problems.
    I've tried a Restore Disk and that didn't seem to work. I'm not sure where to go from there. After that, I tried to reinstall but it get stuck at the fourth stage and goes no further. It seems to be asking where I would like to install to but gives me no options or choices for places to put it. Any suggestions? I am getting so sick of going to Apple support.
    I'm wondering if my computer is just a dud.

    Actually, the warrantly is long over. I bought the machine in Nov. 2003. The 90-day warranty to which I referred was the one I got when my logic board fried and I had to send it back to Apple for a repair.
    I checked out my machine again last night. (It's the only one I have, I am having to post elsewhere now). Here's what I got:
    I was in Disk Utility and the repair did not work. My new question is this: What happens if I choose "erase" one or both of these drives: "37.3 GB Fujitsu MHT2040AT" or "disc0s9?" I also have an option to create a "new image." I don't know what that means but I suspect it might allow me to save what is on those two drives mentioned above before doing an erase. Is this correct? Also, if I do "erase" does this basically just mean I'm getting ready to reinstall OsX?
    Sorry for so many questions. I'm a newbie here and I'm frustrated with the number of troubles I've had with this machine.

  • Apps shuts down automatically and safari froze

    when i use applications like werule , warchess, or others, apps just shut down automatically and shows the homescreen. is there a problem with the memory? or is this a normal behavior after using apps just for an hour and so? and when it happens safari won't do anything and froze. what do i do? should i restart the ipad whenever it happens

    You can shut down and restart your iPad to see if this helps.
    If not, you may want to reset the iPad and reinstall / resync it.
    If that still doesn't help, make an appointment with the expert bar at an apple store or call support for assistance.

  • My ipad2 safari is not responding and has greyed out

    safari on my ipad2 is not responding and has greyed out... is there a way i can sort it out ?

    If you follow Bob's instructions.. allow it to cool down.. maybe leave it off overnight.. if the disk fails to start when you power on.. or listen carefully and hear if the disk is failing to spin up properly then you have either dead drive or dead supply.
    Is it in warranty or applecare, let apple replace it?
    If it is out of applecare even, open it and replace the disk.
    How old is the TC? What model from the rubber mat A1xxx? What size disk?
    Certain drives are becoming unreliable.. The WD black in Gen2, The Samsung Spinpoint in Gen3 and WD green in Gen3 and Gen4 are none of them great drives.
    Out of warranty do the job yourself.. there is plenty of stuff about drive upgrades for the TC.
    Excellent instructions here.

  • Ipad2, safari does not work properly after ios6 update. How do I fix it?

    I need help in fixing safari problems after ios6

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
