Applications crashing on fifth generation iPod Touch?

Hello everyone.  I have a fifth generation iPod Touch that I got last month and every time I use some of the applications, they end up crashing on me, almost every time.  The Weather Channel is one of the programs that frequently crashes.  Why is it doing this?  I have also checked for an operating system update for the device and there is not one.  What could be the problem?

  • How to sign out of Find My Friends on fifth generation iPod Touch

    Hello. I have a fifth generation iPod Touch and I just downloaded and installed Find My Friends. I have used this program before and I know that I have to tap Me and scroll down to sign out. However, I did that and I do not see a Sign Out option. Has Apple removed the ability to sign out with this program now? Or am I not looking in the right spot?

  • Frequent iPod touch crashed on 4th generation iPod touch

    I've tried searching the forum and couldn't find anybody else who is having this problem, but I thought I would throw out the question, just in case.
    Usually an app will start, and then crash after running for several seconds. This happens with Apple apps (like safari, settings, photo, etc.) as well as apps purchased from the app store.
    The first thing I do is close the programs running in the background and try to run the app again. This has almost never stopped the crashing.
    The next thing I usually do I is restart the iPod. This also does not seem to help.
    I have also tried syncing the iPod, and restoring it to factory settings in iTunes. This has also not helped.
    I am really at a loss of how to fix the issue. Recently the iPod has not just been crashing to the home screen, but also crashes to the boot screen where only the apple logo is displayed for (what seems like) several minutes.
    I have the most recent iPod OS installed and the most recent version of iTunes.
    Any suggestions?
    tl;dr - My iPod touch is crashing, and none of the basic fixes seem to be working.

    +1. I'm so annoyed with it. It happens on both apps that came standard and apps that I've downloaded. It happens on apps that require the internet and apps that work standalone. I've restarted, restored, called apple care and nothing has helped. I have lost apps that I've bought in all of this mess. It has to be a software issue. I hope they issue a software update soon.

  • The notes application on my 3rd generation ipod touch randomly deleted all notes upon opening. Is there any way to recover them?

    I just lost all the  notes I'd kept on the notepad of my iPod Touch.  Any help would be appreciated!!

    Today I completed a software update for my iPhone 5 without backing it up because I did not receive a warning that all my data would be erased and so, did not realize it would be an issue. Upon completing the update, I realized my mistake but figured it was too late to revert the damage and continued with the restoration of my phone to its factory settings.
    After completing the update, I realized just how much data was lost (including important notes with financial information and images and videos of recent trips around Europe). Now I am desperate to try to recover the data deleted in the update. Is there any chance at all that I can recover something? The notes and videos are most important to me. I am also missing many Messages but that is less important to me.
    Can anyone please help?
    Any response is greatly appreciated!
    Here's the official article from Apple on how to update your iOS.
    Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Before you update
    Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.
    That's virtually the very first thing it says to do.
    There's no excuse to not have your data backed up prior to updating.  Tell me, what would you have done if, instead of this being an issue where you updated your iOS and had an error, if instead you had dropped your iPhone and it was damaged beyond repair, or if it was stolen or lost, etcetera.
    Perhaps you'd been backing up to iCloud and didn't realize it?  Maybe the missing Notes data is linked to a Mail account?  You might be able to reconstruct the data, but it's going to be an uphill battle.
    Best of luck.  Make sure to backup more frequently in the future.  There are two types of people in the world; those who have lost data, and those that will lose data.  The only difference is how prepared you are for that event.

  • Where can I buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch?

    Does anyone know where I can buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch?  I am giving this iPod to my father because I want to buy myself a fifth generation iPod Touch for my birthday.  Could I just get an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 or 4S wall charger and use that?  I used my brother's iPhone 3GS wall charger, when I was visiting him out of state, and it worked just fine. 

    Any wall charger with a USB port will work. You can go to Target or BestBuy and other places too. An iPhone charger is fine.

  • 1st Generation Ipod touch  keeps crashing/going into stand by mode 3.1.3

    I have a 1st generation ipod touch that I recently restored to the newest firmware 3.1.3. My problem is that after this restore and subsequent restore attempts is that the device keeps clicking off to a black screen when I use wifi or transition from different desktop screens. The device does not completely crash as once the screen goes black I can hit the home button an slide to unlock. I have found that if I disable wifi this problem does not occur. I have tried to both reset and restore with no success. Any suggestions or ideas?

    If a restore did not help, I'm afraid you have a hardware issue there.

  • Apps on 2nd generation iPod Touch crashing

    The apps on my 2nd generation iPod Touch are increasingly slowing down and/or crashing.  The local Apple store rep said a) apps updated for 4th generation iPods overtax my 2nd generation hardware and therefore b) I must buy a new iPod.  Is anyone experiencing this problem?  Does Apple really expect me to buy new hardware every time its software upgrades automatically render my hardware obsolete?

    Did you already try to reset your ipod by holding your sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing this, but it can cure some glitches.
    Usually apps not meant for your iOS version can't be installed on your device. I tried this on my ipod, you can select the apps for a higher iOS, but they won't install.
    If resetting does not help, set it up "as new device" without using the latest backup, in case you would be reinstalling damaged files. How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device

  • I have had a third generation iPod touch for three years. It's worked fine sice recent,y when it started looseing battery very fast and every apo including the built in ones like mail and photos have been crashing after about five. I uses of use!!!!

    I have a third generation iPod touch. It's worked just fine until recently. The battery goes out very very very fast. But the main  issue is that all my apps (which is why I use the iPod, to play them) crash after using them for 5 minutes, this does include the built in apps like photos and calendar ect.. I have had this for about 3 years and love it very much it's not damaged at all. I Have taken very good are of it . Is it time for a new iPod or can I fix it please help!!!! Thanks!!

    The battery can be replaced: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
    As far as crashing apps, it may or may not be related to the battery life. I suggest the usual "restart, restore" routine: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/

  • 3rd generation ipod touch that will no longer sync but charges

    I have a 3rd generation ipod touch.  It was syncing to my itunes just fine and then one day it stopped syncing.  It shows that its charging but never syncs anything.  When i click to do a manual sync, it goes through the process but does not transfer any music.  Any suggestions.  I am running windows 7 64bit if that makes any difference with the newest version of itunes. 

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

  • Can someone tell me how to backup my 3rd generation ipod touch?

    I have a 64GB 3rd generation ipod touch. I have been  trying for the past two days to back it up to my laptop but it will not work. I have heard that if i update it without backing it up it will delete everything on my ipod and I really dont want to do that unless it is a last resort. Should I just update it and start from scratch or keep trying? Please someone help me .

    Follow these instructions. When you restore from backup as the article says, the iPod will also be updated

  • Why do the new earphones not work with 1st Generation iPod touch?

    Does the 1st generation iPod touch not "recognise" [recognize if you are American] these functions? I am talking about the microphone and the button on the new earphones.

    Then why don't apple make ear phones with microphone which the 1st gen itouch will recognised...
    Because the Touch is primarily a music player, that is what I purchased and I'm quite satisfied with it as it is.
    I'm so fed up of the way Apple Market...
    What are their plans for their consumers... to
    to keep buying new Ipods?!?!?!
    Err...Yes! Welcome to the real world.
    3G Iphone was released shortly after the Iphone...
    why couldnt they make us wait longer...and get the 3G
    You still don't understand this commercial world do you?
    same with Ipod Touch... yes i Understand new Gen ipods...would have better features...
    Let's all wait a hundred years when they bring out the the brain implants...
    But hey wats up with making us fall with Apple...we like the designs, the features...but why then bring in new ones that apple know will not let our old ipods adapt to it.
    You like the design, you buy it, enjoy what you have and don't get so jealous.
    Sick of Apple... they do it on purpose... I guarantee...
    No way?!
    the new Iphone to realease next year....would be Iphone 8.0 mega pixels camera video recording....either way...they would make their customers regret for buying their old Iphones and Ipods...
    If so, then I might buy one, but then I wouldn't moan if a better one was released six months later.
    4 now, do something about the new ear head phones....cos apart of app store and applications...we want to be ablt to use microphones...to communicate on social networking...and voice memos...
    This maybe because the hardware is simply incompatible, they cannot cover every eventuality, had they done so the Touch would have been more expensive and I would not have bought one.
    Technology moves on, fact. I you don't feel Apple are playing fair then just avoid their products, that'll learn 'em.
    By the way, if you want Apple to hear your thoughts go here - [Feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html]
    They do not officially monitor this board.
