Why does safari hang on the ipad 3 ios 5.1.1

I got the ipad3 about a month ago and Ive noticed that safari hangs all the time. At first I thought it was the network but after using it at a friends house and using it on 4g. When it hangs the whole ipad locks up and is non responsive to landscape changes. I find i have to reset it daily. Anyone have this going on.

I'm not sure where I would start with trying to isolate the app. I would just launch one app at a time, use Safari see what happens, then launch another app, use Safari .... rinse and repeat. I would probably pay attention to other apps that depend on an internet connection, but so many apps do, so you will just have to be patient and diligent in your approach.
If you can't ultimately get this situation straightened out, you might want to make an appointment at a Genius Bar and have an Apple rep take a look at your iPad as well.

Why does Safari crash in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

Why does Safari crashes in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Why does Safari hang when launching?

Using Safari 1.3 on 10.3.9 for a couple weeks now; everything has been running well, until today.
Safari will launch from a Help command within an application (eg: any CS application), open it's own window, blue connection status gets halfway across the window bar, then it will hang with the spinning beach ball... until I force quit.
Same thing happens when launched from the dock or directly from the applications folder. Explorer, Firefox all work fine. All other apps working fine.
Tried trashing Safari prefs, no change. Deleted all Safari files and tried to install v1.2 instead (as a download from Apple), but now the Safari installer hangs as well. No problem with installing or re-installing other apps.
Additionally, Sherlock will now no longer launch.
Why is this happening? How can I fix it?

Why does safari hang when I'm entering a form on a web page?

My company requires us to use iPads to access a web site where we enter information on our patients. Whenever I tap the save or submit button in either Safari or Mercury the application hangs with no activity in the title bar. I can tap the home key and run other apps but the browsers hang. The only other computers I have access to are Windows desktops and the same site works fine on them. I've tried this through wi-fi and through 3G with the same results. Any suggestions on what I can try or change to stop this issue?

Contact your company IT department and tell them of the issue.

I thought your company required you to access this site using iPads?

Why does Safari freeze when the cursor hovers across "Bookmarks"?

Safari v 4.1
Hi,
When I move the cursor over "Bookmarks" in the menu at the very top of the window, Safari freezes for about 5 minutes. It can also freeze when the cursor is simply passing under the "Bookmarks". When I'm moving the cursor horizontally across the entire screen, I have to keep the cursor well below the top menu bar to avoid freezing Safari. Otherwise Safari is working OK. I often Force Quit" Safari when this happens, but if I wait, it will unfreeze.
This is all about hovering, not clicking.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it.
Thanks, Rafael

Hi Carolyn.
First, about resetting. I've never done it before, and I recall hearing—but have no direct experience—that it practically wipes the slate clean. I've built a very sophisticated Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks Menu, and because I'm a researcher, I never erase history. When I started using Safari a long time ago, I was told by Apple to regularly erase history. Then a couple of years ago I was told by someone I trust that it's OK to keep it.
I regularly empty Cache and remove cookies.
Are these the top 5 buttons?:
1 Clear history
2 Reset Top Sites
3 Remove all webpage preview images
4 Empty the cache
5 Clear the Downloads window
I got this list from Safari Help>Resetting Safari. I'm using Safari 4.1, but I noticed that this help page referred to Safari 5 in the 'Reset Top Sites' explanation: "Reset Top Sites: … Top Sites page reverts to showing the webpage previews displayed when you first installed Safari 5."
As for the rest:
2 Reset Top Sites—I’ve never made use of this
3 Remove all webpage preview images—not familiar or I don’t recognize what it is.
4 Empty the cache—Fine with that
5 Clear the Downloads—window Fine with that
I’m letting you know about these details before I proceed with your instructions.
Thanks for responding,
Rafael
PS Since I'm asking about Bookmarks here, I've been meaning to find out something about my Safari Bookmarks.html that is exported, then backed up to one of my external HDs. If Safari or my computer crashes, and I re-install Safari, then import those bookmarks, are they re-created to look just as they do now in 'Show All Bookmarks'?
I have some old bookmarks (or 'Favorites' I think they were called) that, when imported (in an html format?), appeared as a long list, rather than as a neatly tiered record of folders and files.

Why does itunes not show the ipad in devices?

Plug the iPad on itunes-windows and it does not show as device. cannot syncronize. The iPad was set up automatically and it is signed to a wifi

Here's a few things you can try:
- If you haven't tried disabling your anti virus software and turning off the Firewall, do that then restart your PC and the iPad.
- Try another cable to make sure it's that that
- Try connecting to another computer to verify that your computer is not the issue
- If none of these work then your iPad might need service. Take it to your nearest Apple Store

Why does Safari open with the last page viewed from the previous session rather than my homepage?

The only way I can get Safari to open to my homepage when starting a new session is to be sure to close all windows from the previous session before quitting Safari. If I don't go through this process, Safari opens to the last site I accessed before quitting. What am I missing?

I am having the same problem but in Mountain Lion the "System Preferences -> General -> Number of recent items -> UNTICK "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." option is not available. The only thing now is "Close windows when quitting an application." which I have ticked. Under recent items there is only a list of numbers.
This seems strange to me. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Why does Safari refresh all the time? I really didn't have this problem until I downloaded iOS 7! It's really annoying!!!

Please anyone...?

Did some research and no fix is available...
This website highlights the problem and some solutions, however they weren't permanent ones.

Why does Safari only display the first page of PDFs

When I use Safari to view PDFs attached to a web site I manage only the first page of the PDF displays. There is no problem if I use other browsers. Also the problem is specific to my machine as other Mac users can view all pages of the PDF on their machines. I have looked at Safari Preferences but there does not appear to be any incorrect settings.

Hi
do you have any 'pdf' plugins showing in HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ ?
If you do, quit all browsers & drag the plugin to the Desktop, or some other folder, then test pdf's again. If they still display oddly, try quitting Safari & removing the file Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.
If np pdf plugins show, try the plist move anyway & if you still have problems, it's helpful to test this in a New User Account which takes but a few minutes & tells us if it's a system-wide issue, or restricted to your regular user.

Why does safari not like the letter N?

Hi, can anyone help?
I know somewhere along the line I have done something wrong, but I just can't figure out what!
I'm responsible for the website: www.gmvg.co.uk. (I try my best, but I'm just a novice)
When I print (or print preview) pages from this website using Safari (for Windows) if the capital letter N is in the heading it doesn't appear? (e.g. the NEWS page just shows " EWS" or events page just shows "EVE TS")
Take a look at the following pages to see what I mean:
http://www.gmvg.co.uk/news.php
http://www.gmvg.co.uk/events.php
http://www.gmvg.co.uk/contact.php
Can anyone offer any advice (it only appears to be a problem on my website, in the Safara browser - IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Flock work fine).**
Many Thanks,
Simon.

Well I had someone with a Mac print some pages from my website (via Safari) and they +*did not*+ have the problem with captial Ns in headings not showing.
I then had someone with a Windows machine print some pages (via Safari) and he too +*did not*+ have this problem.
I'm therefore assuming (and hoping) that it's only a problem with my machines and it's not something I have done (wrong) on the website.
I've tried searching the internet for a solution without any luck and I've tried looking into various settings on my computer (again without any luck).
Basically I'm now out of ideas, any advice from people on here would be most welcome and once again thanks to Andy for all his help!
Regards,
Simon.

Why does Safari on iPad drop content of tabs?

Aaaaarrrrghhhh!
Why does Safari drop pre loaded content on tabs other than the one you are browsing on? Happening in iPad 2 OS 6.0 and MBP Mountain Lion
(It did it on this post as well. I had written a longer post, went to add a product and my post had vamooshed).

Try this:
Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.

Why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it? I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

why does it tell me my ipad is synched with another itunes library and wants to erase the thing when I want to synch it? I haven't synched it with any other mac but my own.

Hi Lisa,
I know from experience that this must be a frustrating situation for you especially if you don't want to loose the music/video content that is currently on your ipod. Unfortunately though you may have to consider re-syncing it as it thinks its currently synced with another computer.
If you bought any music that is on the ipod through itunes you can opt to right click the ipod in itunes and 'transfer purchases' if you authorise your library in the 'Store' menu in itunes. Some reasons for this happening may include some of the following:
Deleting and reinstalling your itunes on the computer.
Removing the account you had on the computer you used itunes in and making a new one. (User account, eg: Lisa).
Changing computers in the past.
A friend or family member syncing it on their computer to give you there music.
A sign of a failing iPod.
Alternatively you can opt to not sync it and keep the music that is on your ipod there but this means you will never be able to update your ipod.
Hope this helps!
