Why does my ipad keeps crashing?. We got a question from ipad user: “Since the new update iOS 8 came out my iPad keeps crashing…by that I mean it shuts off whatever I do ( i.e.Safari or different game programmes ) …anyone else having similar issues? ”
“Safari crashes continually and different apps crashing out. I have done Cold boot, closed all applications in tray, removed programs and re-installed them, done a full reset on the iPad and I’m still getting constant ipad crashing and overall slowness of iPad. My wife has an iPad one also and she’s experiencing the same. The iPad is more of a bore now and not fun any more. Would like to return to an old update and have my iPad running like it probably did when I first purchased it.”
Here is the common solution to fix that ipad keep crashing kind of problem:
If you get same problem, ipad keeps crashing while updating to iOS 8, Try closing all programmes utterly and then do a reset and see whether that helps. To shut all applications : from the home screen ( i.e.not with any app ‘open ‘ on-screen ) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the programs on the taskbar for two seconds or so till they start shaking, then press the ‘- ‘ in the top left of each app to shut them, and touch any piece of the screen above the taskbar in order to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for roughly ten to fifteen seconds ( disregard the red slider ), after that the Apple trademark should appear – you will not lose any content, it is the iPad equivalent of a reboot. For Safari you might also try clearing its cache thru : Settings Safari Clear Cookies And Information ( and Clear History ).

I just upgraded to iOS 9 and it crashes in the middle of watching a video, reading something on Facebook or even email. I’m beginning to think the upgrades degrade the original device so much so that Apple WANTS you to buy a new device.
Had the same issues. Let the battery run down to low teens, then did a soft reset from the settings. Then let the battery die all the way. After it charged up, all fixed.
Am having the same problem, would like to try your solution, but don’t know what a “Soft” reset is. Could you explain? Thanks
I guess I’m doomed to iPad hell. Oh well, I did need to read email anymore anyway…
I will never buy another Apple product, they rank right up there with Epson. Oh for the days when I had the original software!
I know, there are about 50 fixes and one might work, but since I don’t want to get an it degree, I’ll just go back to a PC.
I’ve already tryed this out but my ipad1 with Os 5.1.1 it did not work….don’t know why or what to do, games app keep crashing…
