Is IOS5 a resource hog for iPads?

Ever since updating my iPad (original version iPad) I have experienced a marked increase I the number of times I have been knocked out of an app. Particularly with Safari. I have been diligent about closing down apps (double push home button, close out each one individually) and restarting iPad once daily. But still the problem exists and I suspect Safari is taking up more resource and services in IOS5 than its predecessor.
Does anyone have similar experience?

There have been a few threads discussing this very same issue. I had some problems with Safari crashing on me as well. I deleted a couple of apps and then restored my iPad - to the backup that I made a couple of days before the update - when my iPad was working just fine. Before the update, I wasn't closing apps or doing anything at all to free memory.
Since the restore, Safari has been much better, but I have still crashed a couple of times. I have also experienced crashes with other apps that pull content from the Internet. I go to Settings>General>Diagnostics & Usage and I can see all of the low memory warnings and the crash data - not that I can interpre it correctly - but it shows me all of the times that Safari crashed - due to low memory issues.
Frankly, I thought that was not supposed to happen with the iPad, - apps should shut down as needed so you don't have to close them on your own. So I'm not sure where the problem lies - but to me - that indicates that there is a problem somewhere with memory issues.

  • How to package resource files for iPad app along with ipa file

    Hello,
    I am developing an app for iPad in Flash Builder 4 and Packager for Iphone.
    I want to keep my xml-asset files local to the app. When I run my app in flash builder, I load the resources locally.
    When I upload the same onto iPad, I need to package the resource files along with the ipa file.
    I tried compiling the air-project with "-include-file" compiler option, but in vain.
    Any help?
    Tanu

    You can read through the resources documentation for iOS here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/extensions/WSf268776665d7970d-2e74ffb4130044f3619-7ff8.htm l
    Of particular interest is the line:
    "3. It moves the resource files to the top-level directory of the application."
    So not sure if you are using an ant build script or whatever to build your ANE, but as long as you place these json files into the folder with your library when you build the ANE, these will end up getting copied to the top-level directory of the application when an application is built using this ANE.
    This is exactly how I include an iOS .bundle of resources along with a .a in an ANE and it works fine. Nice clean packaging when distributing the ANE too.

  • Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?

    Why there's no multitasking gesture in IOS5 for Ipad 1?
    Why?
    This's discrimination for iPad 1 users!
    Why disable it?
    I think your strategy will make many of Apple users dispointed!
    I hope to add multitasking gesture to next updata or fix !

    iOS 5.1.1 will not give the iPad 1 the full suite of multitouch gestures. The hardware won't support those. And you responded to a post that's almost two years old.

  • Problem keeping resource files for iPhone/iPad builds in sync

    I recently created a new target for iPad by upgrading my target for iPhone, which seemed to work fine. However, since then I have had problems when I make changes to the plist files that I have grouped under Resources.
    When I upgraded the target, it created a new folder for iPad resources called Resources-iPad. This only contained the nib files -all the other plist files I have containing data are still in the Resources folder.
    When I added a new plist file to Resources and try to load it using the bundle path, it gives me different paths for the iPhone/iPad versions, in .../Application Support/iPone Simulator/4.2/Application/...
    However, the path of the file I am trying to load is of the form myApp./MyFile.plist, and I can't seem to open the app in the bundle path directory in Finder.
    I've tried things like making clean, etc. Are there any steps you need to take to keep the resource files of the iPad target in sync with the iPhone one once it has been created?

    I created the new target using Xcode>Project>UpgradeCurrentTargetForIpad. This created another folder under .../Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.2/Application/... with a different serial number. The new folder contains a new app, myApp-Upgraded, which corresponds to the bundle path it will use when this target is run.
    I presume it's due to the file path existing in the original app, but not in the upgraded one. The file will be found when the original target is run, either on the device or the simulator, but not when the upgraded target is run on either, but I don't know how to make the upgraded target reference the correct resources.

  • Where does a developer download iOS5 beta for iPad?

    I'm a developer, but where exactly do I download iOS5 beta for iPad? In the Dev Center I only see the SDK for 4.3. Thanks.

    Thanks, I wanted to make sure. Many people mistakenly think that the iOS betas are available to the public or non-paid developers. If you can't find the beta, I'd suggest you ask for pointers in the developer forums:
    http://developer.apple.com/devforums/
    and if you can't get help there contact Apple Developer Support. We're really not allowed to discuss any specifics about unreleased Apple software in these public forums.

  • Is there a User guide for iPad 1,1 iPhone iOs5.1.1 9206B platform?

    Is there a User Guide for iPad 1,1 with iPhone 9206B iOs 5.1.1 ?
    System does not respond to Apps Store (crashes constantly),. I have no computer so of course nothing else on this device works either. Safari errors about JavaScript, don't get me started on iTunes. (they keep my cash, but no purchase history!) HELP. I have erased/ removed started over ("restored") NOT multiple times. Drowning here

    Manuals http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    Try this  - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

    How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad?  Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

  • Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

    Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
    On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
    I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
    The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
    My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
    Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
    Thanks

    Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
    I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
    Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
    1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
    2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
    3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
    Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

  • Using Voiceover in Numbers for iPad

    I am a blind iPad Mini user looking for the correct gestures for using the Numbers App with VoiceOver. I am not understanding how to navigate the spreadsheets or make changes in them.  Does anyone know of a good resource for this? All the ones I have found online are not specific to the Numbers App.                                                  

    I have submitted an enhancement request via Apple's iPad feedback and hoping that future versions of Numbers for iPad would have the ability to password protect table cells, and also have the abilty to disable the delete function within Forms.
    Would appreciate any further halp on a possble workaround in the mean time.
    Thanks

  • Enhanced book for iPad, built on iBooks Author

    Hi all
    I am sorry if these are similar questions to ones asked before, but I wondered if things might be different since they were last asked.
    I have delivered an enhanced book built for iPad and it is currently in the review status, not in 51 stores. My questions (of which I have heard many myths about):
    1) As it's an enhanced book (created on iBooks Author), there are lots of videos, galleries etc which make the publication about 1 gig. I have heard that although there is a 2 gig limit, some authors have had responses from Apple saying that it should be kept to max 200mb and therefore rejected. True or false do you reckon?
    2) Mine is a travel guide about a specific area of Spain and it is all about solutions to the traveller. Therefore as well as lots of text, there is a Useful Links section that links to companies websites  such as car hire  - their logos are next to the URL's in my book. Do you think Apple will be ok with their logos visible and external web links? It is simple to remove it if necessary but in truth it is a resource for my readers.
    3) I have heard varying reports of 3 hours to 55 days for the review process to be complete. Does anybody know if it is longer for an enhanced book due to the complexitied of its build?
    4) I have heard reports that if it fails, Apple will tell you how to rectify it. Is this true and is it easy to resubmit?
    5) I have also heard reports of Apple simply rejecting without explanation. That would be so painful. I have spent 6 months and a lot of investment. I would be devestated. is this true?
    6) Any other advice? It has been in review for 3 days only so far. Any ideas on current wait time for enhanced books built for ipad, created on iBooks Author?
    It's an anxious time isn't it?!
    Thanks.

    1. Max size is 3 GB, but   take  into acount you want  updates at some stage and need to allow "space"
    2. URLs  are usually excepted IF they are not competitors of Apple iBooks Store - ie Amazon. Any logo is usually copyrighted by the  company.  Any potential copyright infringements  could be rejected by th review team.
    3. Time taken in Review depends how busy they are  without regard to your  content.
    4.  If your book fails the review,  you will be issued a ticket - A recent email advised changed to the ticketing procedures.
    Ticket Catalog Report
    The Catalog Reports module on iTunes Connect now contains a Ticket Catalog Report. The report contains details for all tickets that have been assigned to your iTunes Connect account.
    iBooks Store Formatting Guidelines Update
    The iBooks Store Formatting Guidelines include important information to help you avoid common errors when publishing on the iBooks Store. The new version of the guidelines includes updated information for copyrighted terms, supported languages, series metadata, What's New descriptions, book assets files, and more.
    Download the updated iBooks Store Formatting Guidelines from the Deliver Your Content module on iTunes Connect.
    5.  The review team will pass or fail your book,  fail is dealt with above. Pass... means its in the store. All you need to  do is keep checking status in iTC.
    6. is the same asnwer as 3.    You wait and Check in iTC to monitor if your book  is passed or ticketed.
    Other advice,  open iTC  >  Deliver your Content >  on the top right are a number of PDF, download and  read  study them. Below them is a video.. take time to  view the video and take notes.
    The above extracts are from an email  from iBooks, the links should still work, if not  they are basically to open your iTunes Connect - Deliver your content section.
    Last  bit of advice, check everything  at least twice before uploading to the store. Remember issues with copyright. Dont use anything just  because its online. Dont copy text or images from other  websites and give credits/links to any that are subject to Common Licence conditions... and finally.. be patient, time , tide and Apple move at their own speed.
