IPod Touch 4G, "Video" program crashes after Update to iOS 4.2

After updating iPod Touch 4G to iOS4.2 the program "videos" just crashes.
Details: I can sync the iPod touch with the computer and the videos reappear on first launch of "videos". All videos play o.k. Second launch of "videos" gives me a white screen for several seconds, then "videos" crashes. Every time I launch it, it keeps crashing.
There are 2 conditions that make them reappear and "videos" runs normally (but only once!):
Method 1: Sync with my MacBook
Method 2: I fully close the program "Videos", then change language on the iPod touch to english (any other language seems to work, too. It's the change that seems to be important). Launching "videos" after that successfully shows all my videos. Second launch and the crash is back. Every time. Until I change the language again.
I tried full restore, and I tried Resetting the iPod, both with no success.
BTW: The Video Files are o.k., I can launch them using playlists and they work just fine.
This is really strange. Can anyone help?
Or, can anyone help how to revert back to iOS 4.1?

Check out the thread I have posted below. I've been having the same problem and have been posting on this thread.
Very annoying problem and it hasn't been solved in the new iOS 4.3 either!!
After two genius appointments, no solution has been offered from Apple, only a new device, which unfortunately came with iOS 4.2 installed, so I couldn't even leave it on the old iOS 3 and not update it. Although having said that, on this device the Video app was working, but only every other time. Weird I know! But now it won't work at all after the newest update... back to square one.
There are work arounds though, as mentioned in the above posts, if you change the music videos into films then they work perfectly.
Strange how it's only Music Vids that seem to cause this problem!?
COME ON APPLE....READ THESE THREADS AND FIX

  • Why does my Ipod touch Music/Video apps crash after update to OS4

    Updated Ipod touch (64GB) yesterday to OS4. Today I cant run the Music or the Video apps. They will LOAD, but after 3 seconds, the crash. Any ideas?
    Ive tried to do the reboot thing (DFU??) that I saw in another post but same issue.
    Tried a search several times but have not seen any posts so far with this particular issue.

    I'm having the same issue as well, I'm currently at work so as of right now I can't try to restore mine, but the strange thing with mine is that I updated mine the day the iOS 4.0 came out and had no problems until last night. Now the music and video sections keep crashing after just a few seconds. Also all my Podcast are gone, the only things missing and I even re-downloaded them last night and they're still gone.

  • Ipad constantly crashing after updating to iOS 8.1.3.

    ipad constantly crashing after updating to iOS 8.1.3. I can't restore it to factory settings. I can't even turn it off. It just keeps crashing and trying to reboot etc.  Sometimes I see the black screen with the white apple and sometimes the screen is white.  I saw it say "Hello" once, but then it crashed again.  While rebooting, it does sync up with itunes briefly and is recognized.  When I try to restore, it says I need to turn off "find my iphone" but I can't access any settings within the ipad to do that.  Also, it tells me I need to enter my passcode to continue, but I can't do that either since the ipad is constantly in crash mode.

    Hello millersmiller,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    The following article should help you troubleshoot your iphone not responding.

  • My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?

    Don't worry about that. iPhone stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPhone. There are two ways to solve it.
    First is is to put your iPhone in DFU mode.
    Step 1. Turn off iPhone
    Step 2. Hold down the Power and Home button.
    Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the Home button down.
    Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.
    If DFU mode can't solve the problem, I'm afraid the only solution is to try some 3rd party software, like iPhone data recovery or something like that. You may simply try the tutorial here: How to Fix iPhone that is Stuck in Recovery Mode.

  • I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music. Where did it go?

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music, apps etc. It also linked up with an alternate email address???? Help!

    I have a similar issue happenning with my ipod touch 64GB running IOS 6.0.1.  My music content is stored via itunes on my Snow Leopard macbook pro as well (and not in the cloud).  The music on my ipod (which is sync'd to my macbook pro when I connect via usb) has randomly disappeared about 3 or 4 times lately, not during sync'ing and unrelated to battery charge levels. Fortunately I have been able to restore it by restarting my macbook pro then re-syncing the ipod, which it is now doing as I write, but it takes hours (for over 3000 songs).  Having looked at a few other forum discussion pages, it seems this may be a bug related to IOS 6 updates and using music/itunes and podcast playing apps. The same thing has intermittently occurred with some other content such as downloaded podcasts, iplayer content and photos. Once I reconnected the ipod it synced and apparently restored the content, but I can't understand why it lost it in the first place, and its very annoying. Lets hope the reinstalling works on my ipod tonight....up to 248 of 3326 songs syncing as I write....

  • IPod keeps crashing after updated with IOS 4.2 Beta

    The iPod keeps crashing going back to the main screen with my iPad after updated with IOS 4.2 beta 2. Any solution? Anyone has the same issue?

    You will probably get several comments from some of the developers that hang out here about moving the question to the developer's forum. Not many of those using the Betas will comment on them on here due to non-disclosure agreement with Apple.

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen keeps crashing after 4.2.1 update

    so I downloaded the new iOS 4.2.1 update and ever since then my ipod touch 3rd generation (which is a refurb by the way) kept crashing -- didn't matter what app it was on (even on some of the programmed in apps), it would just crash and go back to the home screen. and whenever I'd be scrolling through any list, it would freeze up and take a second or two to scroll. it also would just randomly stop playing music, even if it was disconnected from the computer. it's been a severe pain in the butt and VERY frustrating!! i talked to several friends and they said it wasn't just me, the same thing had been happening to them. just wondering if anyone had found a cure yet?
    CALi

    Try letting your iPod run to flat battery (where it turns its self off) and then charge it fully without playing with it for that time
    you may have to repeat this 2-4 times

  • Keeps crashing after updating to iOS 6 on iPod touch

    I updated my iPod touch 4thgeneration to iOS 6 few days ago, and everything was all good (all of my apps worked perfectly fine before updating to ios 6) until i updated to ios 6 and every single app that's on my iPod keeps crashing including iTunes and App Store. What's the problem? Is it my iPod touch that has a problem or is it the iOS 6 that has a problem? Or is it due to lots of bugs on the update of iOS 6? Please help ASAP! Thank you!

    I never had this problem until I kept up with their updates. Every time I update my ipod there's a bigger lag and everything crashes. I thought it was some of the apps and then my photos crash, their itunes and app stores crash, it's just rediculous. Figure it out people. The whole IOS6 and up has done nothing but make your prooducts worse. And it's sad the only way I can get rid of this bug is to back up my almost 2,000 pictures and videos and all my music just to fix your mistakes. Honestly, I think you should provide me with something to backup all my imformation on considering it's apple's mistake not mine, and also the fact that I pay a bill for an Iphone I own EVERY MONTH. I don't pay you guys to ruin my phone. I'm honestly sick of apple products.

  • IPod Touch G1 doesn't start after update

    I manually updated a friend's iPod from 1.1.? to 2.2.1 using the "Shift/Options + click Restore" method, but when the update started I briefly got the "Connect to iTunes" picture with a tiny white line across the screen.
    The screen went white and iTunes displayed an error, which translated in English is "UNKNOWN ERROR 1403", and it featured an Help button that took me to a broken link.
    I reset the iPod with Lock+Home, but after the screen went black nothing happened. I tried to use DFU mode but my computer doesn't detect it.
    Here is the debug log. I have removed from it the unused network cards.

    On the original computer, using the correct account the iPod is tied to, purchase and download the update.
    After you have the download then do the install.
    You're making it a two step process since that seems to cut down on problems.

  • Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode after update

    Help!  Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode after an update.  I don't want to restore and lose all pictures.

    You have no other choice but to restore. You can restore from backup and get the iPod back to where it was when the backup was made.

  • My ipod touch reboots over and over after updating to 5.1 firmware

    I have a 3rd generation 32gb ipod touch that up until recently worked just fine. In order to download use an app I was required to update to 5.1, prior to this I had never updated the firmware so it was using whatever version was on there when I purchased it in 2010. After the update my ipod started randomly rebooting, this happens even if it is just sitting there doing nothing. It happens so often that in a 24 hour period my battery went from full to empty even though I was not even using it. I've tried using the restore option and starting it as a new ipod about 5 times now but it just continues to happen. I also tried downloading and installing older firmware but I get a 3194 error. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    I would try deleting the existing firmare update file on yur computer and then try restoring the the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. If yu still have the problem then it is likely due to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Ba ro of an Apple store is in order. The update file is located here:

  • Intel video drivers crash after update

    Hi all,
    I have S540 ultrabook and I use it with onelinkdock with external screen and laptop screen in extend mode.
    After 8.1 upgrade on boot I receive the error message "Catalyst Control Center stop working", but everythings works fine.
    After Lenovo upgrade (including video driver) I don't receive the message anymore, but using the docking with extend screen, I face frequent black screen on external monitor. After few minutes also the main one became black and I got the message "intel video drivers crash and reset".
    Someone face the same issue?
    Thanks for your help

  • Ipod touch stuck in restore mod after update

    hi i have windows 8 release preview. i tried to update my 8gb ipod touch 4th gen and not its stuck in restore mod loop. but i have a 32gb ipod touch 4th gen that sync's to itunes just fine. ive tried the home and lock button, RecBoot to push it out of restore mod, iRecovery to push it out of restore mod and nothing works. i keep getting error 1603 and 1611. it comes up on itunes and says it needs to be restored. please help

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Also, it could be due to an incompatiblity with iTunes and the pre-release Windows 8 version.
