Ever since updating to ios6, itunes constantly crashes - I can't even stay in it long enough to search or purchase anything!

I have an ipod touch (4th generation) & an iPhone 4s, both are acting similarly when attempting to search for music and/or purchase anything. it will do the loading "spinning wheel thing) at the top & if I search a song name, it will start to populate a list of my search results & like 99% of the time it goes black & sends me back to my home screen. If I make it past that & actually get the opportunity to click on the song I want to purchase, I'm never able to get all the way through my purchase before I am booted out! This problem has been plaguing me ever since the update - any ideas on how to make this stop? It is very frustrating as I would actually like to buy music for my pod & I can't manage to get it done!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ever since updating to IOS6 I cannot access the iTunes store and the App Store sends me to the China site.

    Since updating my phone to IOS 6 I cannot access the itunes store and the app store sends me to the China one.
    I am temporarily in China and have put a Chinese SIM in my phone. Is this why?

    I have still got the problem, I have tried every thing suggested, I think it has something to go with my apple sign in, when signing in & putting in password it just goes grey as though I haven't signed in no error???. I can sign in to this forum with Apple ID, I am a beginner please any suggestions, I did try to make a new Apple ID, put in all detail credit card etc but I can not find it & no confirmation. IPad will be flying out of the window if I can't get it sorted.

  • HT1386 How come I can not sync my phone ever since updating the latest itunes

    Ever since the newest update i haven't been able to sync all my new music to my phone, i hook my phone and usb into the laptop, usually it comes up automatically but this time i just cant see my device showing on itunes. any help?

    Try reinstalling iTunes, to the latest version, 10.5.3

  • Ever since updating to ios6, my iPhone 4 has weak to no wifi signal and iMessage will not work, MMS stopped working, and I don't get my social network notifications on wifi unless I'm close tithe router or I catch a good signal from it.

    The update has completely screwed up my 4.. No more iMessage over WiFi, I have to hold my phone in the air sometimes to catch a signal and I never had to do that before, and after the update I can't send any pictures, over iMessage or 3G .. And with the weak signal I only get my notifications from apps when it wants to.. I'll be connected to wifi and using it, but won't get any notifications, or when I do.. Its whenever the signal has registered or my phone has authenticated it, I've had these problems since last year with no fix, I've reset my router countless times, I'm on Verizon and NEVER had wifi or imessage issues before ios6 .

    Make Genius Appointment and take your iPhone to the Apple Store. Only Genius can make these determinations. The broken screen voids your Warranty. The Genius could overlook this, you never know. Take your iPhone to Apple Store, hope for the best, but be prepared to pay $149 for Out of Warranty Replacement iPhone 4. A good price for replacement of an iPhone 4 with broken screen and WiFi problems.

  • Ever since I updtades to iTunes 10.5, i can't open it Why?

    I can't open iTunes, It says: Invalid support I can't Install It Why? Mac Os X WHY?

    There are a lot of Firefox 5 users still running Windows XP, but everyone's memory and drive space and graphics are a little different, so it's hard to make a blanket statement.
    I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and re-run the Firefox 5 installer to see whether that corrects the problem.
    http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
    If the installer won't run until you exit Firefox, the program may be hung in memory. You can use the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to shut it down. Check both the Applications tab and the Processes tab.
    Does that help?

  • My father was prompted to download an 'update' which appeared randomly while on his ipad2. since then the screen shows an itune icon and plug. Access has been restricted ever since. is that a virus? and how can he rectify it?

    My father was prompted to download an 'update' which appeared randomly while on his ipad2. since then the screen shows an itune icon and plug. Access has been restricted ever since. is that a virus? and how can he rectify it?

    No, it is not a virus! Not every unexplained occurrence in life is a virus. Microsoft has a lot to answer for by brainwashing users if its operating systems into thinking anything unusual must be the result of a 'virus'.
    It was most likely the recently released iOS system software update that for whatever reason did not complete.

  • Ever since UPDATING, My iphone longer no longer can sync my music!

    I am beyond livid - ever since updating my phone 4 to OS 5 - i am constantly riddled with syncing issues...
    It can no longer locate any of my music - and it can't seem to update any aps I downloaded from my phone. I restored to the phone - losing several paid aps in the process - and it still won't work. This is absurd...
    How do i get my phone to sync again?

    You will need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 in order to update iTunes to sync with your iPhone.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

  • TS3694 Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.7, I can no longer sync my iPhones nor my iPad. iTunes says "could not back up ... because a session could not be started". I'm on w7x64, updated.

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.7, I can no longer sync my iPhones nor my iPad.
    For all devices, iTunes says "could not back up ... because a session could not be started".
    I'm on w7x64, updated.
    I have already tried to re-install, reboot, stop/restart Apple mobile devices service, without success.
    Thanks!

    I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

  • Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation?  Ever since updating it is slower and slower.

    Was iOS 5 meant for iPad 1st generation?  Ever since updating it is slower and slower.

    When I first updated my original,iPad I had a number of issues with it, crashes, some sluggishness, and things like that. When the infest incremental update was released a little while later, it seemed to fix the issues on the iPad - or at least it made a very big difference.
    I never updated it all the way to 5.1.1 - because I bought the new iPad so I have no first hand experience with 5.1.1 on the original iPad.
    You can try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if they make a difference.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sometimes this can help. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If you have issues with Safari - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • HT204406 Since updating to ios6 I can't view any imatched music on my iphone

    Since updating to ios6 I can't view any music on my iPhone. Previously i had all music library matched and could view everything on my phone as could my husband on his iPhone. My husbands still able to view music since upgrading to io6 but I can't. I have an iPhone 4 and he has an iPhone 4S. It originally showed the artists and showed songs but there were no album names or track names and the length of each song was 0:00. Now there is nothing at all showing and no playlists. All my music and playlists are on iTunes. Please help!

    Hey,
    I had the same problem. Could not connect my iPad (3/new) to the personal hotspot from my iphone4. Bothe are running ios6.
    I don't know if this will permanently fix your problem but it seemed to work for me.
    First, restart both (iPhone and iPad).
    Then, on the iPad go to settings - general - Siri, and turn Siri off.
    Now turn on hotspot on your phone and connect your iPad.
    Hopefully this helped.
    Apple support team, apart from maps, there are several bugs in ios6. I regret updating my devices To ios6. Please fix.
    Sam.

  • Why won't my iPod let me download anything? Ever since I downloaded iOS6 awhile ago it was acting up I had to erase my whole iPod now every time I hit download on an app it keeps saying I must agree to knew terms and policies every time I hit download.

    Why can I not download apps on my iPod? I had to erase the memory now it keeps saying I have to agree to new terms and policies but it won't download that will just keep popping up.Why won't my iPod let me download anything?

    I'd like to know who Marlene is....oh wait, it was a mixup.
    I suspect these posts will be deleted.
    It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
    And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

  • Ever since updating to latest version of Firefox it has been painfully slow on my Mac running OS 10.5.8.

    Ever since updating to latest version of Firefox it has been painfully slow on my Mac running OS 10.5.8.
    Websites just hang, and never get to where they are supposed to go. The status loop on tabs just spins and spins but never loads the site. Go to the same site on Safari and there in a second. It is like dial up slow. Have tried all the troubleshooting tips(reset, delete/re-create profiles, uninstall/reinstall, updated flash) nothing works.
    Firefox had been working fine until latest update. What gives?

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
