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.

  • Why do the apps on my 4th Generation iPod Touch continuously crash over and over?

    I first turned on my 8GB white iPod touch, 4th generation, on 12/25/2011. For the most part, my ipod has worked flawlessly. I have never had a problem with it. But, in the past couple of days since christmas, the apps have started to crash over and over. For example, my games like Jetpack Joyride, Doodle Jump, Bike Race TFG, and Plague Inc. have not opened. I try to open them, it shows the opening wallpaper, then crashes. I tried turning off location services, closing all open apps, deleting some apps, clearing up space, nothing has worked. what could be going wrong and how can i fix this?
    Thanks!
    p.s. I am updated to iOS 6.0.1

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation. I had my ipod since two years ago. I have upgraded to ios 6.1.3 before and then downgraded it to 5.1.1 because it was really slow. After downgrading I downloaded a couple of apps that I needed but most of them seem to crash alot even the app store. It hasn't been like this before. I also even tried deleting them on the multitask bar but same thing happens. I just want my ipod to be just the way like it was before. I don't want to buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this issue?

  • I have an iPod touch 4th generation and I can't upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 (or to any editions)

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 6.1, and my grandma's iPhone 4 could upgrade, so I thought I'd try it out on my iPod. I go to software update u set my system settings, and it doesn't do anything! It just stays still and says "Checking for Update." I pressed the home button and tried again, but the same error occurred. I do not have a computer, but I do have an Internet connection? Is there any way that I can upgrade my iOS to the latest edition without a computer? I cannot reset my iPod, and I have so much stuff on my iPod it'd take forever. Please help!

    You can connect to any computer and do it but it is a lot of work. When you restore after following the following instructions and iPod will also be updated.

  • New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

    Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
    - Sam Amos

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation keeps deleting my music even after restoring it and I can't sync new songs anymore

    Hello, I have an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB that I purchased brand new in January 2013. The device is currently running iOS 6.1.6.
    It worked perfectly fine until today, when I tried to sync one single song on it.
    While i was syncing it, I noticed that on the iPod screen, the song menu begun scrolling without me touching the display, some song titles became white (as when you're syncing a song) or disappeared leaving blank lines, until the music app crashed.
    When I opened it again, it said that there where no songs in my library.
    I tried copying my music on the iPod again, but it only copied one song, after that when I tried syncing more songs, iTunes kept saying "preparing synchronization" (or something similar) but nothing happened.
    I tried restoring the device, and initializing it as a new iPod (without using any backups) and then I started copying my songs on it again.
    But after the 15th song, the problem occurred again.
    What can I do?
    Is it possible that it's the case of an hardware failure? My photo library wasn't affected, and except for the music problem, my iPod is running fine, it's not even an old device and no accidents even happened to him (like falling on the ground or something like that).
    Any tips?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    I'm having the same problem with my 4th gen iPod touch. After the update my iPod synched and wiped all my music off - apps & podcasts weren't affected. Restored it a couple of times and that didn't work.
    I tried copying a couple of albums over and it would do a couple of songs then the rest of the album would look like it had copied instantly. I tried playing the songs and it would play the first couple of songs once, then it came up with ! Beside every song (including the ones I'd just played and said they weren't on my iPod.
    I've removed iTunes from my laptop and downloaded the few iTunes bought albums over WiFi to my iPod. The rest of my music is from cds or mixes/podcasts downloaded from soundcloud so I've had to use a different program to copy some of this music to my iPod for the time being until I can see how to sort this out.

  • HT1338 just what is the new software upgrade 10S 6.16. EVERY TIME I PUT NEW SOFT WARE ON MY IPOD 4TH GENERATION TOUCH IT MESSES UP MY IPOD IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. USUALLY IT CUTS IT OFF OF WI FI AND IT WON'T CONNECT!FI

    I am afraid to download the new update software ios 6.1.6. Because everytime I let it put new software on, It makes my Ipod 4th generation mess up one way or another. Usually it makes the wifi go off and I cannot get it back on. Then I can't even use the ipod!  I am having a problem now with it shuffling. Do both red x's one on each corner right top and left top need to be on for it to shuffle?  Thank-You; Sherry  PS, I do not have a Mac. I have a dell window 7. and I don't want windows 8. I have heard nothing but bad about it!

    Nope, though it did allow me to get some missing songs back onto my iPod. That's something. But neither "Back in Black" or "Dirty Deeds" show up anywhere on the Touch. Could this be because iTunes has no deal with AC/DC?
    Quite frankly, at this point, I'd really rather not have the "ease of use" of iCloud attached to the iPod. It's not like I change my playlists that much. It would just be nice to get what I want onto my MP3 player. Not sure which one it was: iCloud, Music Match or the Air Port but the only real result of all the $ I plunked down is seeing all of my Wife's 231 Christmas songs popping up on my laptop. Really don't want them here. She SURE AS **** is sick of seeing all of my stuff on her computer.
    Thanks again.

  • I cannot download Adobe Reader app using my IPod Touch 4th Generation due to iOS upgrade.

    I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation (the older model) and the highest operating system stops at iOS 6.1.6. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Adobe Reader app, it only works for the newer IPod Touch 5th Generation with an operating system of iOS 7.0 or higher. My question is that since I cannot download Adobe Reader app, is there a way for me to open PDF files on my IPod Touch by using Safari? There is no way I can find an Adobe Reader app that works for my operating system or an operating system that works for iOS 6.0 or lower. Is there another program similar to Adobe Reader where I can open PDF files that works for iOS 6.0 or lower?
    Thanks.

    Krispy2010,
    Please note that my instructions are intended for Adobe Reader for iOS, not for all iOS apps in general.
    Adobe Reader for iOS does offer earlier compatible versions for iOS 5 and 6 via the App Store.  Because the supported iOS version for Adobe Reader for iOS is 5 or later.
    Tech specs | Adobe Reader mobile app
    However, I cannot speak for other apps, such as Costco app and NFL app that you have mentioned.  It is up to each individual app developer/company to decide whether to take advantage of Apple's App Store's features to offer earlier versions.
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store.
