8GB ipod touch keeps freezing up and won't run apps correctly

I have an 8GB ipod touch that is almost a year old and it keeps freezing up.  Some apps that use the motion side to side to move objects, doodlejump for example, won't work.  I have reloaded apps and restored the ipod and it is still having a problem.  What would be the issue and can it be fixed?

If the restore you did was from backup. restore to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup.  If you then still have problems I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  If they determine it is a hardware problem and it is within warranty they should give you a replacment iPod.

  • My 2 month old Iphone is losing it's mind.  It's randomly turning on Voice Command and calling people or turning on the IPod.  It freezes up and won't let me go back to the home screen.

    My 2 month old IPhone started randomly turning on Voice Command and calls people and turns on the IPod.  It freezes up and won't let me push the home button.  Any suggestions?

    OK, I reset it several times and it worked fine all day yesterday.  Today when I turned on the bluetooth it went back to the same problem.  Voice Control comes on and the home button won't work at all.  I have gone through the reset many times and it isn't working.  How do I restore firmware as you suggested? 

  • Ipod touch screen is dimmed and won't brighten

    i turned my ipod touch on one day and it was fine then the next thing i knew was the screen dimmed like it does before it goes into it's lock mode, but when i push the menu or power button the screen stays dimmed and i have tried several things to brighten the screen but nothing works. can anyone help me with this problem because i can't use my ipod touch anymore now?

    - Double tap the screen with three fingers and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off Zoom and Voice over too if you want.
    - Alternately, you can connect to your syncing computer and go to the Summary pane.  Click on Configure Universal Acess and turn off Zoom and Voice Over (if you wish).

  • My ipod touch keeps freezing and doesnt want to turn on anymore.

    i have a 32gb 4th generation ipod touch, it stopped working properly like 2 weeks ago. It stopped functioning right when the home button didnt go as smooth. I had to press it really hard to go from one app to the home screen. if i pressed it twice to change music, it would turn negative color. i turned that off but the button kept acting the same. it is fustrating. ive tried turning it off then back on but it doesnt change and today while in an app it froze completely.  i held the power and home button to reset it, although it was hard, it turned off. while trying to turn it back on, it froze on the black screen with the apple in the middle. is there anyway i can fix it or what can i do?
    i need help its very fustrating and it keeps turning on and off by itself on the black screen with the apple for over 10 minutes.
    ive only had it for 5 months. please help!

    This also happened to me when I did the jailbreak and restored, he caught the apple in the middle of the screen and spent four monthswithout knowing what to do, I called support and found it was onlyTIGHTEN THE BUTTON UP, HOLD AND PRESS THE BUTTONAND HOME HOLD BOTH, then the image will appear to connectthe pc, when you will connect to iTunes and a message that youriPod disendo is in recovery mode, then just restore it and hope itreturns to normal. Hope this helps everyone.

  • My iPod Touch keeps freezing! WHY?!

    I have the 8GB, 4th Generation iPod Touch with software version 4.2.1. It's about two years old and has recently begun to freeze (no colored pages, just frozen on whatever screen it was on when it froze). It happens when I am playing and exploring my music the most and has even done it for no reason. The only way to pass it is to do a force quit by holding down the power and home buttons.
    I have been to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store and he reset my iPod back to it's factory settings and I left with a blank iPod and the hope that the problem had been solved. Alas, it had not. I got home, synced it to my library and behold, here we are again.
    I don't play games or use apps that (literally, the only app I have is Facebook). I have a huge iTunes library, but I haven't filled my iPod to the max, so there's lots of storage space. So it can't be an app or storage issue. I do have it connected to my personal home wireless internet, but that has never ever given me problems, so I don't think that's an issue either.
    I have gone through my entire iTunes library and found no corrupt files and everything is up to date (both iTunes and iPod software). I have even re-downloaded iTunes. I understand that I now have an outdated iPod since the 5th Generation is out and because of that, 4.2.1 is as far as 4th Generation users will get. Apple has stopped releasing updates for the 4th Generation iPods, so updates will now bypass 4th Generation users. Fine. I've had version 4.2.1 for well over a month now and it only recently began freezing and giving me issues.
    All I want to do is browse and listen to my music without it freezing as that is all I use my iPod for.
    I plan on revisiting the Genius Bar for another appointment in the very near future.
    I am willing to try anything (as long as it won't harm my iPod). I do however refuse to buy a replacement since the 5th Generation is out and 4th Generation updates have been abandoned. So if it comes down to buying another one, it's going to be the newest one.
    Is there anything else I can do?
    HELP!
    -Brandon

    Correction: I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch, not a 4th Gen. My mistake.
    I have deleted a ton of stuff already. The only stuff left is music, that's pretty much it.
    As far as restoring it goes, I have done that. The problem still seems to remain.
    Any more ideas or suggestions would GREATLY be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • My ipod touch keeps freezing up. What do I do if it keeps happening?, My ipod touch keeps freezing up. What do I do if it keeps happening?

    What do you do if your ipod keeps freezing up?

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • IPod touch screen freezes up and become unresponsive whenever it needs to prompt me for passcode

    I know my problem may sound strange. My iPod touch is complete screwed to the point that I can only unlock it using the password when it boots up from off mode. After that, when I lock the screen and it prompts me for the password again, I slide the slider and it hangs down there. I tried to go to the settings app to turn off the passcode but it needs to prompt me to enter my current passcode before I can enter to turn it off and it just hangs down there. I tried to Reset All Settings which also needs my passcode, I tapped on "Reset All Settings" and the next thing it should pop out is ask me to enter my passcode but it just freezes down there being unresponsive. Help. I've tried restoring but there was an error message in the process of restoring.

    I suspected it is a bug of iOS 5.1.1. The problem is in a very vicious loop. But with many tries, there will be times when it doesn't hang when it needs to prompt you to enter a passcode. Found a solution here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18896056

  • Put iPod Touch icons into folders and organized all my apps. iTunes keeps erasing them.

    Hi Everyone
       New iPod touch owner. I arranged my icons into folders for all my apps. But everytime I connect to iTunes it erases all my folders. And moves all my icons around. Anyway to tell iTunes or the iPod to not keep erasing all my folders and not to move all my icons around after I have organized them in the way I want.
       Thanks
    Happy Summer

    Hello Everyone,
        I finally figured it out. Did not know you had to be connected to iTunes and then you can drag icons around, put them into folders, delete any apps you do not want on your iPod Touch and more from within iTunes.
        When you done doing what you want, then iTunes syncs your changes to your iPod Touch. And your apps, icons, folders, will all be the same on your iPod Touch as they appear in your iTunes Library.
    Happy Weekend

  • My replacement ipod touch keeps freezing

    I just got a new replacement ipod touch 2 weeks ago . It freezes every few sec but weird thing is that i think it is just the keyboard because it responds to the home button. This happens with like every app that needs a keyboard. Another weird thing is that this problem goes away and then comes back. And i lose wifi when this happens too. And it wouldnt let me put my ipod to shut down. Until i reset but the problem happened again. Right now it is gone cause i exited out of the app and restarted but it happens again later. This happens on safari too! If this replacement is another defect what do i do? :( I found out this problem when it wouldnt let me message my friends on facebook and i thought it was just the app but it started happening on safari too!

    There are some major problems with this ipod. I know everyone says this, but restoring from a backup might help.
    You could also make an appointment with a Genious at an apple store, if you live near one. They might be able to fix this better than someone on the forums. These appointments are free!!

  • IPod touch Gen4 is locked and won't connect to iTunes?

    My son's newly purchased iPod Touch 4th Gen was given a lock code by him.  He messed around with it in his sleep and locked it so that it needs reconnected to iTunes.  However, when I try to connect to iTunes, it says that the iPod lock is keeping it from connecting to iTunes.  Help?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

    I've had my iPod touch for a really long time and it recently starts to shut off or freezes all the time.  There is always batteries in it and I am getting annoyed by restarting it all the time.  Is there any way to fix this and will apple do anything about it because it is a old generation iPod touch.  Thanks!

  • Hi! I have a 8gb iPod touch 5.0.1 and my app store and my contacts calculator , mails are not on the home secreen and I go to restrictions and they said that that things are on .

    Hi!
    I have a iPod touch 8GB 5.0.1 and my contacs my app store Are not on the home screen and my contacs .
    So I go to restrictions and they say that they are ON  so I reboot my iPod and he still the same thing.
    So I restore my iPod from iTunes and iTunes say that this iPod cannot be restore and I do that on a MacBook pro and I do the second time on windows computer.
    So I need help , I don't know what to do .
    Thank you .

    The app, if not restricted, may be hidden in your folders.  If you go to settings, general, reset, reset home screen layout, you can rule that out.
    Does your restore give you a specific error?  If so, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    You can also restore from your iPod, by going to settings, general, reset, reset all content and settings, but make sure that you have created a backup beforehand.
