Safari closes on iPad seems to be randomly

When browsing with my iPad version one, occasionally safari will close.  I do not think it is responding to something like a new tab or pop up. Running ios5. 

Tap Settings > Safari 
Tap Clear History then tap Clear Cookies and Data
Then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • Safari closes on iPad

    My Sarari browser closes repeatedly without notice.  When I reopen, it resumes the current page.  Any ideas on this issue?

    Reset the iPad. This won't bother your settings or app data.
    Hold the power plus home buttons together for 15 seconds. You'll see the red slider, then the Apple logo, then black screen.
    Then turn the iPad back on, should be ok.

  • IPad crashes on iTunes Store and some random Safari site.  Frequency seems to be increasing.  Anyone else having problem or have thoughts re: causes?

    iPad crashes on iTunes Sore and some randon Safari site.  Frequency seems to be increasing.  Any thought, ideas, suggestions, please?

    Start with a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    Others have had difficulty with this issue.  There are other things that you can try but you may well end up at the local Apple Store with the resident "Genius."

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • When I open Safari on my iPad 2 and browse for a while, when I close safari on the background home of the iPad if leaves the imprint of the address bar at the top and down the side of my home background!?

    Ok so,
    When I open safari on my iPad 2 and browse for a while, when I close safari on my background of the home if leaves the address bar imprint and also down the side of the background it leaves white lines from the web browser. I've also noticed it when using various apps aswell. It's not just safari. I've also tryed different background images and it still does it!
    Any help?
    Thanks Natalie

    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.)

    When I use Safari on my iPad 2, more than 1/4 of the left side of the screen is used for "shared links", "reading list", or "History". I would like to hide that. How do I do that?

    Tap the Book icon seen left of the address box.
    Best.

  • HT4623 Opening multiple tabs within Internet Safari on my iPad mini

    How am I able to open multiple tabs within Internet Safari on my iPad mini?? I have an iPhone and I can do so but on my iPad mini I can't figure it out or it just doesn't have that option. Someone please help with some answers, thank you!!

    Thanks for your response, that's exactly what I thought the + sign was for but I've tried that and when I do it completely closes out safari. I did some other research and it seems to be happening to others also. So not sure what to do now or how I can get multiple tabs opened just like you can on the iPhones.

  • Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color

    Visited links using Safari on my iPad 2 won't stay the "visited" color after I close the tab, put the iPad in sleep mode (or whatever it's called), or when I power off the iPad.
    There are certain sites I visit where it comes in very handy to be able to see which links I've already clicked on. The links will stay the "visited" color during the time I'm on the site, but later they all go back to the "unvisited" color.
    Is there any way I can fix this on an iPad?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.

    I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.  Is this a known bug?  What can I do?

    You maybe running low on memory since you are using the original iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and the iPad is crashing. This may help and it certainly won't hurt.
    Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot 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.
    Do this before you launch Safari again. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. You don't have to clear the history.

  • Safari closes suddenly for no reason

    safari closes suddenly and randomly.  One touch of the icon and its back smoothly BUT it never happened until recently and i have recently updated safari??

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also 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.

    Try this first.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. 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.
    If that doesn't work, reboot the iPad - or quit all apps and restart.
    Reboot 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.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.

  • HT204245 Safari issue on iPad.

    I Am facing an issue where all urls gets redirect to some malicious website and opens iTunes. It is similar to what is mentioned in security updates in CVE-2014-8840. is someone else facing similar issue? Please help if there is a solution.

    Try doing the following and see if it still happens :
    - clear Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear History And Website Data
    - close Safari via the iPad’s taskbar : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    - soft-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.

  • I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

    I downloaded the new iOS 7 and i can't open safari in my iPad mini, what's going on?

    You can't open it meaning it does not launch when you tap on the app icon? If that's what's happening try this and then see if Safari will launch.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Now close Safari. To close Safari, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the Safari thumbnail app to close it.
    Now reboot the iPad. Reboot 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.
    If Safari does launch and this isn't what you are experiencing - you need to explain in more detail what is going on.

  • Safari closes down everytime i try to open additional tab.

    Everytime i try to open a additional tab in safari, the app shuts down and im back at my homescreen. I can only have one tab open. Ive tried to restart, and uppdate the ipad. Ive even reset to its factory settings. But the problem remains. Any solutions?

    If you restored as new without the backup, that should not still be happening. If you restored your backup, that could be the problem. Try this. Clear Safari, close it and reboot.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot 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.
