Has an app broken your ipod touch?

Has anyone else installed an app from the app store and had their ipod become unstable? I installed four apps (zen bound, field runners, idie, and christmas carol book) after which I could no longer side scroll my music albums and some buttons stopped working completely or started behaving very strangely.
The problems only stopped when I removed all content, did a complete reset and re-registered the device with iTunes as a new ipod.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You mentioned you did a reset and re-registered as a new iPod. Do you mean Restored the iPod Touch as a new iPod Touch vs from a backup? If so when you added those particular Apps back was this still occurring?
Suggestions
-If you can and the Apps are still available for download, Delete the Apps off the iPod Touch and Delete them out of iTunes to the trash can
-Now download one of the Apps again from App Store and Sync to iPod Touch, Check and see if it works, If it does proceed to download and sync next app etc. If you notice the iPod Touch does what it did again but only after you added a certain App back, Remove that App, If it stops. You may wish to report this to the iTunes Store Support & the App Developer.
-You may also wish to ensure your iPod Touch has had the latest Update installed which is typically installed via Restore/Update and iTunes is also up to Date.

  • I have a new Iphone 5, my wife has a 4S and an iPod Touch.  When I sync my new 5 to the Mac, it pick up ALL of the stupid game apps that my wife uses on her two devices.  How can I keep them separate?

    go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click  on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

  • I am traveling out side of the U.S. and I am trying to up-date some apps on my iPod touch and now I'm getting this message... "Account Not In This Store Your account is NOT valid for use in the Ecuadorian store. You must switch to the U.S. store... help!

    Please, is there anyone one out who can help me solve this problem? I just can seem to figure out how to get to the U.S. store... thanks!

    I just read this solution, tried it & now it's working...
    I think I found a fix...I went to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, then click on your Apple ID...view Apple ID...change country region to USA (even though it was already USA...just do it again...go through the steps making sure the United States store is selected...agree to the Terms of Service, THEN I think what the key is is to RE-auhorize your credit card...in my case all I had to do was enter the security code...and it worked...I am now able to download the YouTube app for example...couldn't do it before.

    Yes, you can but it's illegal.

  • Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf files on your ipod touch?

    Is there an app that allows you to download and read pdf file on your ipod touch (5G)?

    There are many apps that allow reading PDFs. GoodReader allows downloading some items. It all depends upon how the site handles the download. It also uses file sharing in iTunes.
    iBooks also reads and had file sharing.

  • I bought a brand new ipod touch 5th gen, updated the software and now iTunes says "to allow access, please respond on your ipod touch" however the ipod has a black screen and pressing the buttons does nothing. how do i fix this?

    As the title says, this is a brand new iPod touch bought from a store, I plugged it in a commenced the "setting up" process through iTunes on may iMac. It got to the stage where it said allow this computer to access the device (or something along those lines), i clicked yes, and then a message came up "to allow access, please respond on your iPod touch. however the ipod screen is black, and pressing the buttons doesn't work. How can i fix this? or do I need to return it?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • "medical id" is missing from my health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8

    Along the bottom of the health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8 I am missing the "medical id" that should be the 4th icon on the lower right of the screen

    You can't seriously believe users would be *that* idiotic, even on a sue-happy country like the US… And while Apple could get sued, it's not like Apple Legal would lose a case like that; for someone to die in the first place *because of the iPod Touch*, first-responders (be them regular bystanders or medical professionals) would have to be stupid enough to believe they could use it to make calls and not try doing that using instead, duh, a regular phone that they would likely be carrying with them anyway, and for Apple to be in the least bit accountable, the interface would have to misdirect them and make them believe they could in the first place.
    Except it doesn't. It never did. The iOS interface, on the iPod Touch, has no references whatsoever to calling functions, be they regular or emergency-related. If you tap a phone number detected by smart filters, you can't dial it (I believe you're offered the option to save it on the Address Book, though), and on the lock screen, there is no “Emergency Call” function (nor would there be such a function on the Health ID page, either). So… I fail to see your point.
    And you can't seriously believe Apple would risk, on purpose, a lawsuit by the family of someone who, having both an iPhone *and* an iPod Touch (not very likely, I know, but please bear with me) dies because s/he is carrying only the iPod Touch and unwittingly (but understandably) expects *all* Health and the potentially *life-saving* Health ID info to sync across devices via iCloud.
    Nope, this is an oversight by Apple devs, and a massive one at that.
    P.S.: A massive legal/functional disclaimer, such as “Warning: This device cannot connect to the cellular network. For emergency calls please use an appropriate device” or something along those lines would pretty much exempt them from any legal responsibility, while still enabling a life-saving feature.

  • The Music app on my ipod touch will not open?

    The Music app on my ipod touch will not open, it loads but the sceen is always blank and then closes the music app and goes back to my list of apps.. what do i do? any ideas?

    I have the same problem since a couple days ago, I will try to refrain from swearing or slagging on Apple, got a few questions for you, Gerbrandt, or anyone else who's had this problem and worked around it by means of a 3rd party app:
    1-Since using panamp have you used your ipod in any docks successfully? (ex: I have a JVC car deck, a Klipsch dock and the Yamaha dock for my home theatre, all will be worthless if I can't resurrect my iPod as a music player)
    2-Has using panamp done anything to help the original Apple music app to work or has it stayed dead?
    3-Do you have any smart playlists?  Like others with the 64GB model I have many many songs (that's the WHOLE point of the large capacity iPod, isn't it?) and I found that the more smart playlists I had the worse the apple music app behaved back when it was still working.
    I'll check out panamp tonight, hopefully that will stop me from curb-stomping my iPod.
    Anyone know whether an Apple "genius" has access to any sort of debugging facilities that would make it worth visiting the store for help on this matter?  (ex: if they have root access to check for corrupt song database, or debug logs of some sort, or can do any direct manipulation of commands over the dock connector).
    It sure would be nice to know why this happens, I have about 14,000 songs locked in iTunes now and many hours of time invested in ripping my CD collection but I don't want to buy a replacement iPod only to have this happen to it too.  It's annoying enough the 4 hours it takes to resynch after a system restore (which in the end did nothing to resolve the original issue).

  • I'm trying to download apps for my ipod touch.

    as it says above, i have been trying to download apps for my new ipod touch but all that keeps happening is it saying the following
    update required this app requires iOS4.3. or higher like iOS 5
    anyone help or should i go back to the shop and exchange it.
    it has the updated software but its not doing anything else.
    anyone help will be rewarded with karma.
    thanks

    It looks like you have a 1G iPod Touch running iOS 3.1.3, which is the latest version of iOS that is compatible with that model.  If if it's actually a 2G iPod Touch, you should be able to update it to iOS 4.2.1 at most.
    Either way though, if the App requires a high version of iOS than what is possible on your iPod Touch, then I'm afraid you are out of luck.

    I suspect you have the original, 1G iPod touch. Those can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3,
    If y ohave a 2G those can go as high as 4.2.1
    Identifying iPod models
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
