Restore your iOS Device if your device is working, but crashes often or certain features do not work. Restore your device. Plug it into iTunes, and under your device, click 'Restore'. The device will be backed up (your files will be safe) and restored to factory settings. Then sync everything back onto the device. If this doesn't fix the issue, again, contact Apple.
