Does anyone have this problem with Safari? On a too often basis l'm scrolling down the page when the page closes and it goes back to the wallpaper / home page

Do you mean that Safari is just 'shutting down' and returning you to the home screen? If this is the only app that 'crashes', the usual first steps are quoted below - to 'Force Close' the app, Safari must not be opened (will not show up in the multitask bar) - please post back here if these steps are not useful - good luck - :)

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up); press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.


2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.


3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.
