Messages app crashes... safari occasionally - iPad Air

Purchased since day one and since the second update my iPad Air keeps crashing when I use the messages app for iMessages. Even when I try to delete messages it acts unstable. What boggles me is that my safari is ok and I don't see anyone else having the Messages app problem on here.
I know nothing about code and such and only the very basic. Any suggestions? I've rebooted, re-installed (new), closed apps, etc. etc....
Thanks

PS I love the Air but the crashes are annoying!

Hi there OriolesMagic333,
If I understand correctly your Messages and Settings apps are becoming unresponsive when you have iMessage enabled, and you keep needing to restart and/or reset your iPad. I would quit both of the apps first:
iOS: Force an app to close
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 restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

My message app crashes on my ipad 2

Two days ago my message app on my ipad 2 started to crash mid message. I tried restarting the ipad by holding down the home and power buttons. That did not correct the problem. This morning I updated to iOS 7.0.4. This also did not correct the problem. I deleted all the feeds I had going with people. Then started a new feed with one of the people. It still crashes. Also, I am unable to delete specific messages in the feed like I use to be able to do. Is there anything else I can try other than completely resetting the ipad? Thanks!

The feature to delete specific messages stopped working today as far as I know. I was not working before I did the iOS update today. I did all that you suggested above. So far the app has not crashed. However, I still am not able to delete specific messages by tapping the message and then tapping the more tab. In fact many times when I tap on a specific message, nothing happens.

Messages app keeps freezing on iPad Air

When I turn iMessage to on in my settings, it works for about a half hour then the messages app freezes up totally. If I try to go to settings to toggle iMessage off, the settings app as soon as I tap the messages tab. If I then reset or restart my iPad as soon I tap on the messages app, it freezes or just crashes as soon as it comes up. Apon resetting it again the iPad allows me to toggle iMessage to off, fixing the freezing issues. I'm not sure how I can prevent this from happening as I would really like to use the app. Any help would be appreciated!

Safari and the messages app dissapered on my iPad.

Safari and the messages app dissapered on my iPad and I don't know what happened or how to get them back. The restrictions are off and I treys to search for them but they still didn't show up. I need help!

You cannot delete the preinstalled apps. nor can they be downloaded again. They have to be on the iPad.
How did you search for them? Did you swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the Spotlight Search field at the top of the screen?
Did you try a reset yet? It's like rebooting your computer and it resets the system.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I cant download apps on my new ipad air

i dont recognise my security questions when trying to download apps on my new ipad air.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

My phone app freezes and message app crashes. I tried restarting multiple times and the problem persists. Everytime i go to the phone app and press on a contact to call it just freezes up and does nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My phone app freezes and when i press on contact either it freezes or does nothing. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Also messaging app crashes. ANOTHER NEW PROBLEM: I can't receive calls either.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

When I enter my photos app(only on my iPad Air), it says my iCloud storage can't update because it's full. In the settings it says I have 1,5 GB storage left. How do I solve this problem?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Could you please clarify what it is that is full, your iPad or your iCloud storage.

DRM-protected PDF crashes Safari on iPad

DRM-protected PDF crashes Safari on iPad (iOS 5.1/9B176). After restart the document is blank. When choose Acrobat from "Open it..." list it says "The document is empty". Is there a workaround?
It looks like Safari PDF preview software failes to handle DRM protected PDF (by Adobe LiveCycle ES). I am not sure but this was working before.
Thanks.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > Safari then tap to delete history, cookies, and data then try Safari.
* No data is lost due to a reset

Message app crashes a lot

Does any of you using iPhone 4 with iOS 5 installed and have the Message app crash daily? It crashes (not always) at the time I pick up a conversation and start typing Chinese using Pinyin input method. I think there is bug but not sure. I am just wondering how many of you out there having the same device and problem as I do and please feel free to leave a feedback.

Chinese handwriting input (simplified or traditional) crashes all over the places with multiple apps. The respones of displaying the list of selected words after the handwriting input is slower than 4.x but the main problem is that it causes the apps to crash when selecting some specific words, this makes my iPhone4 become useless. Pls fix it quick.
I am using iPhone4 with iOS5 (9A334).

Messages app crashes upon startup

Since today, the messages app crashes whenever I open the app. I can open texts from notification center when people text me, but the app immediately crashes when I go back to the main messages screen. I have a black 16GB iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3. Rebooting the iPhone and restoring it, and then reloading from backup haven't worked. Help would be much appreciated.

There is a bug in iOS being exploited right now. One of my so called friends sent me the below string too and crashed a couple of my apps.

Why does the Message App Crash after I "Load Earlier Messages" X amount of Times on some Conversations (iPhone 5S; iOS 7.1)

On some conversations, after hitting "Load Earlier Messages" so many times, my Message App crashes...
Are others experiencing this?
Is this a known bug?
Is there a fix for this?
Is there a way to avoid this or a workaround?
I can't see any corelation between conversations that crash and don't crash, it's almost random - as if some conversations were eventually trying to load a corrupted part of a conversation file and crash while others do not.
Please help! I need to look something up from a few older conversations dating back to June of 2012 and some of the conversations crash the app before I get there...
Thank you!

No one else is experiencing this issue?!?

Has anyone solved the Safari Crashing Issue on iPad Air

I am using an iPad Air with iOS 7.0.4 and Safari continues to crash while I am scrolling. I have tried the suggested fix: clear history/cookies/data and then reset the iPad, but that did not fix the problem. I can consistently recreate the crash by doing the following:
Clear the Safari history/cookies/data (Settings --> Safari)
Reset the iPad (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for 10 seconds)
Open Safari
Open the url https://twitter.com/TimCookAppleCEO
Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap the "Tap to load more tweets" button.
Repeat Step # 5 three times
Attempt to scroll to the top of the page by performing a finger swipe up
