“There are some things you can do to prevent [Safari] crashes [on Apple’s iPhone] and/or recover from them with little or no lasting effects,” Scott Kleinberg reports for The Chicago Tribune’s “RedEye” edition. “Typical of version 1.0 of just about anything, there’s some bugs that need to be worked out. Word on the street is that Apple is hammering away at that and that sometime soon we’ll see a software update that addresses the problems.”
How to prevent Safari crashes on Apple’s iPhone:
• In Safari, clear your history, cache and cookies. You find these options under Settings–>Safari.
• If that doesn’t work, a force quit of Safari may be in order. To force quit any application on an iPhone, simply hold the center button for 8 seconds until the application quits and you end up back at the icon-filled screen. Then, relaunch and try again.
• If those fail to work, consider a hard reboot. That just means to turn the phone off and on. To do this, hold the top button in for about 8 seconds until you get the red slider. Turn it off and then press the button again until you see the silver Apple logo.
• Remember your memory… In general, saving 10 percent or more of the total space available is a good idea.
• If that fails, you may need to restore your iPhone by connecting it to your computer. In iTunes, there’s a restore button located under Summary. Keep in mind, when you restore you erase… [you’ll need to] resync.
• Finally, there’s the erase all content option, and that’s a sign of something much more serious. You can find that option under settings–>general–>erase all content.
