When you try to use your iPad and it crashes, this is not only frustrating, but it is inconvenient as well. While a one-time crash may be nothing, repeated crashing of your device means that something is going on.
Fortunately, many of the issues that cause your iPad to crash are not too serious and can usually be rectified by taking a few steps at home.
Below, we will discuss some of the troubleshooting steps you can take to stop your iPad from crashing over and over again.
Why Is My iPad Crashing All the Time?
There are a handful of reasons why your iPad may be crashing each time you use it including:
- A new iOS update causing the issues
- Overloaded memory
- Drained or low battery
- No or too little storage space
- Outdated iOS
- Jailbroken device
- Outdated hardware
- Filing hardware or RAM
DIY Tricks to Fix a Crashing iPad
If your iPad has been crashing, it is important that you get it fixed to save yourself time, trouble, and a headache. The following troubleshooting steps can be taken to help stop the problem.
Restart Your iPad
Restarting your iPad may be all that is needed to stop the device from crashing. Sometimes, there is information stored in the memory that causes the device to shut down and rebooting it can erase this memory.
Check Your Storage
Check to make sure that you have enough storage space on the device itself. If you don’t, you will need to free up some space by deleting media and apps that you no longer use. Once you have deleted these unwanted things, restart the device.
Try to Charge the iPad
When the battery is low, you will notice that your iPad does not run as smoothly as it should. You should connect the iPad to a charger and allow it to charge for a couple of hours and then attempt to use it again.
Install Any Updates
Even if you think that your iPad is up to date, it doesn’t hurt to check. An outdated iOS system and outdated apps/software can lead to functionality issues, which can cause your device to crash repeatedly.
Check for any updates and if you do need to install some, get right on it. Once the updates have been installed, your device should work well again without crashing.
Check Hardware Requirements
Sometimes, the reason your iPad keeps crashing is because your device does not meet the minimum hardware requirements needed to complete the task that you are trying to. For example, if an app requires a specific feature on your device and you do not have it, it can cause the iPad to crash.
(This often happens when you are running a very old iOS system.)
Reset to Factory Settings
You should only take this step when you have exhausted the others since a reset will erase the data on your device completely. Do make sure to backup your data before you perform the reset on it.
Resetting your iPad back to factory settings can help remove any issues that may be causing the device to crash. You can reset the device via the device itself, but if the device crashes too soon to get through a reset, you can reset it through iTunes.
