Why does my iPad 1 keep crashing on apps?

I want to know why my iPad 1 keeps crashing after so long on an app, it seems to be on the majority of my apps that I have on here, just wondering what it could be, is it a internal fault or is it a app thats causing the problem.
If anyone can help me on this would be appreciated greatly!!

PROBLEM SOLVED
I installed iOS 5 on my iPad 1 when it came out in October 2011. Everything worked fine. Sometimes around the beginning of January, apps began to crash. First it was a few a week, but by the eginning of February, most of them would crash after running for a few minutes. Many would not restart untill I did a full reboot. My iPad became essentially useless.
After fighting this problem for almost two weeks, reading as many forums as possible, I did many things that DID NOT solve the problem. Here they are in the order I tried them.
Removed all working programs and rebooting the iPad - no effect
Removed over 50 apps (from 200) that I was not really using - no effect
Restored network setting via setttings - no effect
Restored all settings via settings. This re-installed everything via iCloud - no effect
Connected my iPad to my computer and did a restore and used a previous backup - no effect
Then, I remembered that other people were having problem with iCloud and that I had added services to iCloud around the beginning of the year. So I
Went into settings >> iCloud and disabled every iCloud service except the Find my iPad service. I rebooted my iPad and I have been crash free for three days.
So the problem IS iCloud.
Apple knows that there are other problems with iCloud and plans to fix it in the next release 5.0.2. In the meantime, try my solution and report to this forum if it works for you too.

  • Why does my iPad keep crashing? Is it because its still on iOS 6?

    I've had my iPad mini since December 2013 and ive not updated it to ios 7 because I prefer ios 6 and recently In the last month it's been crashing all the time on every app! Including built in apps especially safari and I didn't think not updating it would affect it at all I've also got a iPhone 4 still on ios 6 and that still works perfectly fine. So I'm just wondering does anyone else have this same problem and do I have to update it or something to fix it? (I'd rather not)
    Oh and it's not jail broken either.
    Thanks

    This will typically fix app instability:
    Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button, hold an app icon until it wiggles then tap for each open app, double tap the Home button again.
    then
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

  • Why does my ipad keep losing connection and kicking me out of apps?

    Why does my ipad keep dropping apps while I am using them like facebook and facetime. It just disconnects and goes to the home screen. Very frustrating!

    I have a MacBookPro...my wife has iPad2...and I do nothing with her iPad...
    let me ask a dumb question reading here.  She plays a lot of Scrabble or word games...goes on Facebook, and has been complaining to me about the games crashing, bringing her sometimes back to the home page. 
    We followed one piece of advice given here...to hold the start and home buttons simultaneously and reboot.  This may work...we'll see.
    But...on the advice concerning the apps.  When she holds down an App...they vibrate or shake, which I guess is a way to move an app about...drag it.  Saw no minus sign.  I guess we assumed the app was "closed" sitting dormant on the home screen...and so I know or understand (she not so computer literate), an app sitting on the homescreen is not necessarily closed?  Hitting home and bringing the desktop back up, is not necessarily closing out of the app?
    thanks...

  • What happened to the youtube app and why does my ipod keep crashing?

    I updated my ipod touch 4g to iOS 6.0 and what happened to the youtube app? And why does my ipod keep on crashing when ever I go to the app store? Now i can never buy anything!!! or watch youtube videos and I'm always on youtube!!!!!!!!

    As has been very well publicized in the news and all over the internet and forums, youtube is not part of ios 6.  Google it.
    You can get the app from the app store if you like.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual to stop the crashing?
    Restart, reset, restore.
