Low memory on iPad 1
Keep getting this constantly on my iPad 1.
Can't use the app store for more than 5 mins at it crashes. I have closed all one apps, cleared the caches, done a reboot, reset and even a clean wipe and reinstall but nothing. Anybody else got any (sensible) ideas other than forking out for a new model as its ruining my user experience now? |

Unfortunately the iPad 1 has far too little memory for the size of screen it has. However apps get a notification when memory is low and they have the chance to sort it out to prevent crashing... so basically whilst the iPad 1 doesn't really have enough memory, the apps your using don't seem to be written to cope with the situation properly either, which is down to the app developers.
![]() To op - has it always done this or has it just started? |

I encounter the crashing with the App Store, iTunes and safari mainly - so in response to Rich2k - do Apple not make apps serviceable on their products then!?!?!?
![]() Alan1302, it has mainly started since updating to iOS 5.x - the latest update doesn't seem to have made it any better. |

Have you taken it into an Apple store to see a "Genius". It might be a faulty component. Him indoors has an iPad 1 he uses all the time for browsing and he's not had any issues with iOS 5.

Too little memory for it's screen? What are you on about?
![]() To op - has it always done this or has it just started? All you need is a graphically intense application and you'll soon find yourself running out of memory and in some app cases, crashing. |

It's not a problem - just buy the new iPad.
