How to stop my iPod touch from rebooting?

My iPod touch keeps on rebooting once in a while. This started when I updated my iPod's version from iOS 5.0 to iOS 5.0.1. I thought it was a one time thing so I keep on updating my iPod's version, but now i am on iOS 6.1.2 and it is still rebooting.
Please help

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up           
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can anyone tell me why and how to stop my ipod touch from crashing and being so slow

    i need help!

    In the absence of more info, try these steps:
    Make sure iTunes is updated to the latest version
    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

    If not successful try the remaining items of
    - 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 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.

  • How do i stop my ipod touch from reverting back to the default music player everytime i get back in my car?

    The only place I use my Ipod Touch is in my car that has an iPod connection and the steering wheel controls, but I mostly listen to audio books with the audible app. Everytime I get in my car instead of the iPod just picking up where it left off with the audible app it picks up playing whatever was last listened to with the default music player. How can I stop this? Although sometimes it will pick up with the audible app where it stopped when I last used the car (the time I spend with it not playing in the car doesn't seem to make a difference.). Just a little side question is there anyway to get rid of the newstand app, safari, messaging, facetime, gamecenter and all those other app that apple forces upon it's users?

    There is nothing yo can do to return to the app you want.
    You can't delete the apps that came with the iPod. Except for NewsbStand, you can put the apps you do not want into one folder and move it to the last screen

  • How do I stop my iPod touch from backing up every time I connect

    Hello all,
    Every time I connect my ipod to my mac book it does a back up, which can take quite some time if I haven't connected it for a while. It has only been doing this since I upgraded to 2.0. Is it necessary? can I back it up manually? How do I stop it?
    Thanx,
    JBN

    During the backup process, you should be able to click on the little X at the top of iTunes, where it shows the backup process progression. This will stop the backup. From there, your sync will continue.
    However, without a good/recent backup, if you had to restore your iPod, you would lose all of the settings/notes/etc that had been changed or created since your last full backup. You will want to let the backup complete every so often to make sure that you have a good one on hand that you can use if you need it.

  • How to block stolen ipod touch from a distance? please help

    Hi,
    My whole handbag was stolen today in a store, inside was my purse, smart-phone and my Ipod touch.
    What can I do to block my ipod from a distance.
    If I can't have it back, they don't deserve to get it for free.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Heidi

    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod for their own use or to sell it.
    If you has already turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and wifi is on and connected you may be able to locate and wipe it. Go to iCloud, sign in and go to findMyPhone. If the iPod i restored the find feature is deleted.
    - Apple will not help with anything
    Report to police and the store and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod

  • My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

    My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

    I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
    What is the way to actually contact Apple?
    I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

  • Hi...My IPod touch was recently stolen. I have an Itunes account..can I retreive the serial number of my IPod Touch from my Itunes account? If, so...how may I do this. If I have the serial number, the local police can check the serial numbers at pawn shop

    Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....

    Yes. See bold below
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • How do i deactivate an ipod touch from my iTunes

    I know this should seem simple, but some how I am missing something.  I have tried searching and can't find anything on deactivating a device.
    I just need to deactivate an old iPod touch from my iTunes account that I am selling on Craigslist.
    Help?

    The consensus on the net would seem to be that only "Mac Computers" count as "Devices" for the purposes of Authorizing and Deauthorizing for iTunes purchases you are talking about. It is also implicit in the article mentioned below:
    Furthermore, on the "Deathorize All" feature, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420:
    " Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/)."
    I was NOT aware of that, and I just realized I'm at my stated limit of 5. Some people are saying that sometimes your mac may get counted twice (a bug somewhere in the chain). I didn't find a solution to this however, though I didn't look very hard since it is possible I reached the limit legitamitely.
    So apparently we can have as many iPod/phone/pad devices playing our purchases but only 5 macs, foolishly referred to in this instance by Apple as devices. This is obviously wording they should correct, as it has clearly mislead many people, including the both of us!
    roaminggnome (cute name), count against is exactly the phrase I used to search the net for an answer to this same question. A search that brought me here (same question, but yet unanswered), and other places. I'm surprised you couldn't  infer his/her meaning from context, you seem to strive for helpfulness (I see you're level 8). Some people use the phrase/s count toward(s) in the same manner, if that helps.

    i dont know how i got my photos to my ipod touch from my pc and now i wanna delete them but couldn't. so need help. please let me know.

    To turn off auto sync - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPod, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
    Connect your iDevice to your PC.
    Launch iTunes,
    Click on the device name on the left side of the iTunes Window.
    Click on the Photos Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
    Untick all of the photos or albums that you want to remove.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you untick or uncheck the Sync Photos heading and then click Apply it will remove all of the photos from the device when it syncs. In this screenshot - I have only certain albums and events selected to sync.

    How do I unlock an iPod touch from putting the password in too many times?

    Restore...
    From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

  • HT4972 How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5?

    How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5?  I've reset it, erased it, but still won't install iOS5.

    You most likely have a 2G iPod touch which cannot go beyond iOS 4.2.1.  If it is an 8gb or 16 gb iPod without a camera, it is a 2G iPod.

    You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.
