Safari hangs on Ipad 2 using IOS 5.0x

The past week I have had frequent unexplained Safari hang occurences... Using Safari on iPad2 on the latest IOS 5 version. I have tried reseting safari, pressing sleep plus Home then restarting... Previously tried emptying cache, cookies etc...no change in symptoms..
Only thing I did NOT do is reset the iPad. Problem is only with Safari...all other apps (including mail) are fine when I switch to the non-Safari apps while letting the browser spin on the selected website link..  Very frustrating... my MBP works fine while this failing stall situation is occurring, thus eliminating any WI-FI issuesi as a root cause.
Any ideas would be very welcome... Thanks!!

Go to Settings>Safari and make sure that Accept Cookies in set to always.
Also turn off Privite browsing.

  • HT4623 Printing from iPad 2 using iOS 6 to Wi-Fi printer

    Need help printing from iPad 2 using iOS 6.0.1 to HP printer.

    It does appear in the List of Air Print compatible printers. Assuming the Printer is connected to the same Wifi network as the iPad, then simply choosing the Print option within any App should bring it up.
    You may need to refer to the Printers Manual to get it connected to the Wifi Network.
    There's no real confuigration to be done on the iPad.
    You can print from the Apple applications iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari. Apps available from the App Store may also offer this feature.
    To print, follow these steps:
    Tap the action icon .
    Tap the Print button.
    Configure the printer options and then tap Print.
    Note: If you are printing for the first time, or if the previously selected printer is not available, you will need to select the printer before step 3.

  • I have a "company provided Ipad" now using IOS 6.1.3.  the company Will allow me to upgrade to IOS 7 but not to IOS 8.  Is that possible?

    I have a "company provided Ipad" now using IOS 6.1.3.  the company Will allow me to upgrade to IOS 7 but not to IOS 8.  Is that possible?

    No, since the iPad 2 is iOS 8 compatible it can only be updated to iOS 8.  Apple does not support upgrading to interim iOS versions, and removes those files from the servers when a new version is released.  The only path for that iPad 2 is iOS 8.0.2.

  • I need help in finding all the new fontsin iPad 2 using iOS  5

    I need help in finding all the new fonts in ipad 2 using ios 5

    You cannot change the email font. You can make it bold, italics and underline the type, but Helvetica is your only choice in the mail app.
    In the notes app you have 3 choice Noteworthy, Helvetica and Marker Felt. The font can be changed in Settings>Notes>Font.
    You can only use fonts that are built into the app that you are using at the time. You cannot pick and choose fonts from a list of all of the fonts that may be on the iPad but only from the list of fonts that the app allows.

  • I cannot turn on or off my location services on ipad 3 using iOS 8.0.2

    hi,i cannot turn on or off my location services on ipad 3 using iOS 8.0.2
    thanks

    Hi roydoum,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear what you are seeing or what is happening when you try to turn Location Services on or off (what state is it currently in?). If you are having issues with Location Services, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at iOS 7, but the steps should be the same in iOS 8):
    iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
    If you haven't already, you may also want to try resetting your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Safari crashes on iPad 1 with ios 5.0.1

    After I upgraded my iPad 1 to iOS 5, it became very unstable, and I reported to apple and set to send all crash reports to apple... Yesterday I upgraded to ios 5.0.1 in hopes that it will fix crash issues, and looks like it didn't. Please let me know if your iPad crashes that much. For example, if I go to this URL, safari always crashes: http://www.stypi.com/hacks/13sentences

    I am experiencing the very same issue. iOS 5 was always a little less stable than 4 on my iPad (1), but since I've upgraded to 5.0.1 Safari crashes constantly on sites I used to visit frequently without a problem, such as NYTimes.com. Please patch!
    I have tried
    - soft restart (holding buttons down til the Apple icon appears)
    - quitting all suspended apps
    - resetting network settings
    To no avail.  Seems to be a memory management problem.

  • Help Back camera not working on ipad 2 using ios 7.0.4

    Hi my ipad 2 rear camera is not working. I'm using ios 7.0.4
    The camera stops responding every time i switch to rear camera. The screen is all black with the control buttons.
    I can not switch back to front camera. I already reset the settings and rebooted the unit.
    The problem keeps on coming back.
    Thanks

    Have you done a "hard" reset? (hold the home and power buttons down until the Apple logo appears).

  • I now have itunes for windows 8 on my laptop and I cannot transfer a new song from my library to a playlist on my iPad mini using IOS 8.1.3

    I upgraded to iTunes for windows on my Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop.  I have not done any iTunes manipulations for many months.  I just purchased a new song.  I now have IOS 8.1.3 on my iPad Mini and I tried to move the new song from my library from my purchased file to a playlist.  I can no longer click and drag the song from anything to the playlist.  In addition, when I sync my iPad to my laptop none of my music from the iPad shows up in iTunes on the computer.  Why does Apple continuously mess around with the simple actions of the program.  It is very disheartening to be treated like this as a long time customer.  This has happened so many times that I am getting the feeling that they seem to enjoy screwing up the users ability to use the program

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Check system requirements:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The main issue might be having too little RAM.  Most computers run newer systems more smoothly with more RAM than Apple says is a "minimum" for running that system version
    After installing 10.6.3 run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
    Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
    The new system should install on top of the old one.  That said, things have been known to go wrong and it makes sense to do a backup before installing the new system.  In fact you seem to care about your files and things so you need to always have a backup because one day you will wake up and you hard drive will be dead and everrything on it gone.  Buy an external hard drive and start using Time Machine or something to back up. The other risk is when you install the new iTunes.  It doesn't happen frequently given the millions of users but there are daily posts here from people who for some reason the installation wiped out their whole library.  If you have a backup then there's nothing to worry about. 
    This is well within what many people can do at home.  It's a matter of inserting an optical disc and clicking you way through menus.

  • Ipad air using iOS 8.1.1 refuses to mirror or use airplay. Same problem with iPhone 5c.

    I use an iPad Air to deliver keynote presentations via Airplay using Apple TV.  Did this a few months ago no problems. Tried yesterday to deliver a presentation iPad refuses to mirror/airplay. Both are on same wifi - signal is good. Select tick box for airplay (mirroring tab is selected) but nothing happens! After barely a few seconds tick box jumps and selection is removed. Tried hundreds of times same result. Have tried powering down and re-staring all the equipment no joy. Restarted router no joy. Interesting to note have same problem with iPhone 5C (and 4S which is still on IOS 7). Any help gratefully received.  Thank you.

    By accident solved my own problem. Apple TV and iPad were working on the same wifi network, close to the router, with a strong signal. That signal is boosted to the far corners of the house via a network based on the Airport Extreme & Express units. Perversely Airplay & mirroring only works when picking up that weaker wifi signal via a different channel! Now to see if a similar solution works for the iPhones.

  • HT5887 Can a macbook pro using iOS 7 use airdrop with an iPad mini using iOS 7?

    I have both, a Macbook Pro that has Maverick installed and the new iPad mini with retina display.  I'm trying to use airdrop, but I'm having difficulty with the iPad.  Both the Wifi and bluetooth are turned on for both devices.  Can someone help me?
    Thanks

    You cannot use AirDrop between a computer and an iDevice. While they are called the same they are different sharing services.
    From the Using Airdrop page:
    Apple wrote:
    You can't use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X users, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share  with  iOS devices.

  • I can't share a contact using email on my iphone 4 or ipad. Using iOS 7.1.2

    Recently I have been unable to share contacts or notes from my iPhone or iPad.  I can't be sure but I believe this is occurring after I downloaded iOS 7.1.2. I've been playing around in settings to see if something was turned on or off but don't see any glaring problem.

    It works fine for me in iOS 7.1.2. If you are in the mail app, tap on the email address that you want to share, and then select Share Contact from the resulting window. You have to swipe down to the bottom of the window.
    If you know this, and that is what you are doing, explain what happens when you try.

  • ITunes Match hangs on iPad 3 after iOS 6

    I updated my phone and ipad to ios6.  My phone works relatively fine.  However, my iPad 3 hangs in the music app with the cloud and a loading bar.  Yesterday it managed to complete loading, but when I wen to the music app this morning, its back to the icloud icon and a loading bar that won't move.  I don't know if this is related to the fact that my iPad has not restored all my 3rd party apps from iCloud backup. 

    I had this problem too. But I remembered I was playing with the restriction settings just right before it greyed out. I disabled restrictions and it came back. I would try to disable renewable a few times to see if it comes back.

  • Flickr doesn't work anymore in Safari on my Ipad mini since Ios 7

    Since Ios7 my photostream in Flickr uploads just the upper banner and my photos not. Very annoying. Anyone having the same problem?
    Thank you in advance,

    You cannot install or de-install Safari. Again, it's about Safari, the browser, not the Flickr app.
    And by the way, it is not only Flickr, even this discussion I had to edit it in Mercury because some buttons do not work in Safari. I have problems with Safari browser while Mercury or Opera work ok.
