Did your original thread on this exact subject not get enough steam? I guess not.

Here is the deal. Based on the threads you have created the iPad Air is not a device for you. I am not discounting problems at all. I am discounting your elevated stress levels resulting from an electronic device. This very device is one that you do not need to own. In fact, no one needs an iPad. The iPad was brought to consumers and I believe it was not until we saw tablets that we all figured they would fit into our lives at some point.

It is indeed terrible if the iPad Air, or any iPad, is incapable of having 3-5 tabs open at once without having to reload the page each time. The frustration you feel where you're typing a message on a board and it reloads because you left that tab for another and came back, is indeed aggravating. I am unsure if I felt the elevated stress levels that you seem to feel. You post as if you're borderline postal about it.

But then there is this…

It would be useless

There are a lot of threads like this, with people having the same problems as mine

It's an iOS 7 issue, and Apple should fix this ASAP

You are part of your own problem and your eventual demise. This goes for just about anything you can possibly face in life. Deciding, before you even try, to contact the manufacturer of a device to discuss the issues you are having would result in failure is a failure on your own part.

You need to return the iPad. You need to understand as quickly as possible that starting a thread and demanding that Apple fix something ASAP is pointless. The time spent here posting about this issue demanding it be fixed is wasted. You need to tell the only people who can fix this issue and instead, you're here, starting thread after thread.

Again, my immediate recommendation is to get rid of the iPad. If something so utterly insignificant will cause you this amount of stress then this is the device you need to stay away from. Spend a bit more and get a MacBook Air. Hugely portable and a machine that won't reload tabs. I've owned one of the earlier revisions and I can attest to the handling.

tl;dr (which is my guess always)
Relax, return the iPad, it is not that important of a device that you need to make yourself insane over it.
 
I got in my iPad air in black at Walmart on Thursday. And I have not had not one bug with safari I use only one tab And safari works vary well

Well that settles it! People who dare to open more than 1 tab are obviously using it wrong.
 
Maybe, and only maybe, if Apple sees a lot of threads talking about this issue, they will hurry up fixing the problem

Software development shops prioritize their work based on trouble tickets (among many, many other things) and rarely (if ever) internet forums. Feel free to complain on this and other forums, it's certainly a frustrating seeming problem you're having, but if you really want to have more of an impact, file a report with Apple.
 
If you're not willing to vote with your wallet, don't seriously expect Apple to change a thing.

He is voting with his wallet and others. He is hoping to inform others of the defects, hoping they don't purchase as well. What is wrong with that?
 
This is stressful

I have an iPad Air and I CAN'T DO anything in Safari. ANYTHING
If I'm composing a message in a board, and I switch to another tab, when I come back to the previous tab, it reloads


This is very annoying and I'm tired of this
Steve Jobs said that the iPad had the best browsing experience, but this is not true


And I forgot to mention the constant crashes of Safari. 3 or 4 times a day since I have the iPad Air
I used to love Apple, but not anymore
FYI, this happened on my iPad 2 and 3rd gen iPad all the time. This isn't new to iPad Air or iOS 7. It is something Apple needs to fix though.

Haven't you heard? Apple offers a superior with less RAM. All the fanboi's will tell you this. Your actual experiences mean nothing.

What happens when you try another browser like Chrome?

So why haven't you returned this iPad that causes you so much stress; your an get really good deals on used iPad 4s.
 
One problem with that logic: Apple doesn't look at these threads.

Lol. As someone who once got a rather frightening breach of NDA email from Apple because I posted some pre-release info they'd trusted me with on this board, let me tell you...they do read these boards!

Which do you think is more likely, Apple has people just reading the boards or they run automated searches for specific things like pre-release information?

Not saying their employees don't read M, just saying that there probably isn't a workflow set up to move things posted on here up to people who will act upon it.

Most likely your post got indexed, and some searches on google yielded your thread.

Are corporate lawyers motivated to do some searching on specific, known terms? Absolutely. Are software engineers motivated to search for who-knows-what, on bugs they haven't encountered themselves? Probably not so much. :)

Well it was about 5 mins after I'd posted the info, I know the robots are quick but not that quick.

As for it being scraped, maybe but it was to do with iTunes Connect payment information, not too many unique keywords there.

It was back when Apple used to only pay out money to developers by territory and after a threshold was released. I emailed them to see if they had any plans to amalgamate all of the currencies in one payment. They told me that they were planning a change to the system that summer. I foolishly spread the news thinking nothing of it (after all I didn't really pay attention to the Apple Confidential stuff in the foot of the email address). 5 mins later I got an email with a link to my post requesting not to leak that info as it was still pre-release info and under NDA.

Scared the hell out of me, but me and Apple are cool now.

Okay, you're right. Your experience with your failure to honor whatever NDA you agreed to is totally the same experience as dealing with bug and issue reporting. Apple TOTALLY scours these boards, hitting the reload page every second, and looking for every little gripe to fix. The feedback form, the Apple Support Site, the customer service number? All redundant and useless. Don't bother making the effort to report your error, Apple already knows. And if they don't fix it, they're just ignoring you, and you should go buy an Android tablet.

:rolleyes:

Thanks for being a d*ck. I'm all for issuing reports to Apple. I believe it's way more effective than bitching on the forums, but the statement saying that Apple don't keep up with what's going on in a select few communities simply isn't true.

That's all I was getting at. I didn't state my opinion on the matter of big reporting at all.
 
Is this what people draw on thick-furrow eyebrows for?

Oh boo hoo!

Seriously, can't people complain at something else?

Time to pull a "switching to Android/Samsung due to horrible service" and then come back next year.
 
Because apple scours macrumors daily :rolleyes:

I had a problem with my Note 2, I made a thread in a forum and Samsung contacted the admin, and then me to solve the problem.

But then they failed, and I had to wait 1 MONTH to get a replacement


Every company surfs the web searching for threads like this.
They are watching us, and it's not a conspiracy, it's reality

My iPad 3 reloaded tabs, but not so often as my actual Air does
 
Is it you that's been spamming other blogs/sites with "NATIONAL CALL APPLE SUPPORT DAY" because of Safari tabs?

Safari runs with the same memory restrictions as the rest of the OS. If a tab can't be kept in memory, it will be reloaded when you go back to it.

My point was that the OP isn't going to get satisfaction from griping about it here, and even less so if s/he's refusing to report their problem because they expect Apple to see it here.

I didn't state my opinion on the matter of big reporting at all.

So basically, completely irrelevant to the thread, but you just wanted some attention. Who's the d*ck now?

NO that was me. And it's because Safari frequency crashes as well as reload tabs. Thanks for your special insight however that still does fix the problem of Safari crashing.

Chrome. Firefox. Opera. Wait, let me make it easier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_browsers

You. Have. Choices.

Who are these people that have these phantom Safari issues? I sure don't.

Now THAT is something to brag about :rolleyes:
