Hi there my names is Cheryl & I've had my iPad 4 ova a year now, but after this last update everytime I'm playing something or on FB or just on the net it keeps crashing on me & I can't figure out why..can someone please help me out??

Welcome, Cheryl!

Until someone can chime in with other suggestions, try this:

Hold the power button and the home button down at the same time until you see the Apple logo. Approx 10 seconds or so. Let it reboot. See if this helps!

I never close my apps and I never have experienced crashing.

What do you mean by playing something on FB? Just curious.

I suspect the OP may be experiencing problems with Safari. When she says the iPad keeps crashing, I suspect she means that Safari is crashing. If so, this is a widely reported problem that does not seem to have a user-initiated solution. Theories abound, but my guess is that opening multiple tabs in Safari may be the main culprit.

Could be. I'm not having any real problems with Safari, but I do tend to be conservative with my tabs. If I"m not actively using them, I close them.

iOS 5 does seems a bit more crash prone than 4.3. Not a lot, but I do find myself having to open apps a second time and/or removing them from RAM a bit more often. Hopefully the next update will take care of that, or maybe it's the apps themselves not being as iOS 5 ready as they claim.

It's always a problem with major updates; which is why I usually wait. But this time I just had to have the new stuff.
