Ipod App Issue

My ipod will not allow me to download any apps it says my ipod is not up to date any suggestions?I

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

My IPod apps won't open. So I looked it up, and it said to sync the apps to itunes, i tried this, but when i try to sync, the apps won't show up on Itunes. It keeps saying "0 apps". What do i do?

Ever since yesterday, my Ipod apps won't open properly. I googled it, and couldn't find anything accurate. So i deleted all of the apps, and re-downloaded them. Now they're doing it again. When i tap on it, it looks like it wants to open, but then it goes back to the main menu. I googled it again, and got an answer saying to go to Itunes, uncheck the "sync apps" box, and sync. Then after that, recheck the box, and sync again. Many people said this worked, but it didn't for me. Also whenI go to sync my apps, they don't show up in Itunes. How do I get them to show up in Itunes?

I had the same issue. After searching around online I found out that you can try downloading another app (it can be any app) onto your ipod. After it finishes downloading see if your other apps open. You don't even have to keep the new app. Just see if your other ones work and you can delete the new one. That should work. If not, try to hard reset it. Here is another apple support link for steps on hard reseting it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430).

IPod app crashes when I try to play a song

But it will play if I select the song by album, artist or playlist first. But everytime I try to select an individual song from the song menu, it crashes and spits me back out to the home screen. It also crashes when I try to select the "more" menu from inside the iPod app.
Just happened this morning. Was playing music fine last night. No new updates installed. I just turned off my iPhone and left it plugged in to my computer over night.
Tried restarting the iPhone (power off and back on), tried resetting the iPhone (power and home screen for 10 secs), and tried force-quitting the iPod app and reopening but I still have the same issue.
At my work computer, so I can't try resynching until I get home. Any other suggestions/fixes?

More details:
App also crashes when I try to select a genius playlist (though I never use this feature, so not sure if that's new). But I can create on-the-go playlists and play all songs off the iPhone that way if I wanted to.
When I launch the iPod app, it shows the "songs" selection screen by default, even though at the bottom, the "albums" tab is selected.
When I reclick "albums" it changes the screen to sort by album. If I had clicked the "songs" apon launching the iPod app, the screen wouldn't change, but the tab would now move over to highlight "songs".
Hoping it's just a synch mixup but still searching for a solution...

my ipod app no longer works. Everytime I go to open the ipod app it stays open for a second and then shuts down. I am not able to get anything to play either through the standard ipod controls or the multitasking control panel. I'm sure there will be an update soon to correct this, i just wanted to see if anyone else was having the same problem.

If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

IPod app crashes after 3.1 update

I just updated to 3.1 and now the iPod app crashes whenever I try to make a Genius playlist. I do this every day so understandably I would like a solution. In the log, it points to low memory as the cause. I don't have much stuff running, I have Wi-Fi turned off even. Please assist me. Thanks in advance.

I turned off Genius by going to the Store menu and selecting Turn Off Genius. This deleted my genius database. I resynced my phone and that turned off Genius on the phone as well. Trying to create a genius playlist from the phone tells me to turn on Genius in itunes and sync. I turned Genius back on in iTunes and created a new genius database and resynced my phone. I also synced one of the new Genius Mixes to my phone.
I was able to select and play the Genius Mix or any of the other saved Genius playlists without issue. Playing a song and selecting the Genius icon in the player or selecting a song from the Genius playlist section in th iPod app crash the app.
However, I was able to create a new genius playlist when I selected a song that synced over as part of the Genius Mix. Odd.

After updating my 4S to 5.0.1 my iPod app no longer plays my music

Strangest thing, after updating my 4S to 5.0.1, when I turn on my iPod app, and hit play on any of my songs, it shows the play button at the top like it's playing, but no sound at all, I checked volume to ensure it wasn't muted, but thats not the issue. I also updated my iPad 2 to 5.0.1, but the iPod app works fine on that. Any ideas ? Has anyone else had this problem?

Are the songs that you are trying to play grayed out in your playlists?
I had this problem after upgrading to iOS 5, and I found that deleting all the songs from my device and re-syncing them fixed the problem.
To do this:
1. Attach your iOS device (either using the cable or to the same wi-fi network if using iTunes Wi-Fi Sync).
2. Open iTunes, and click on your iOS device.
3. Click on the Music tab.
4. Uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox at the top.
5. When asked, click "Don't Sync Music".
6. Sync the iOS device. Your songs will be removed from the device.
7. Check the "Sync Music" checkbox at the top once again.
8. Sync the iOS device again, and your songs will be re-added.
I don't know why the upgrade made some songs unreadable, but the resync fixed the problem for me (I had to do this for each of my iOS devices after upgrading them all to iOS 5). Fortunately, I only had 1,000 songs, so the resync didn't take forever.
Hope this helps!

IPod App quits unexpectedly after upgrade to OS4...?

Does anyone know what to do about this:
iPod App starts up and stays on screen for 2-3 seconds and then just quits. Also my podcasts from previously are no longer there - that's ok with me but may not be a good sign...?
Thanks for any advise!

Lack of responses tell me no solution in all those bright minds out there... yet. Another question: Am I the only one suffering this. If so, then I will try to fiddle or rest the whole thing... Any ideas before I try anything too drastic?.... and please let me know if any of you are having the same issue. THANKS!
P.S. By the way the recent updates to iTunes/iPod with IOS4 and Snowleapard/itunes have taken iTunes a quantum leap forward for those looking to use it for Classical music. And using the remote star rating system after upgrading to iOS4 is nothing short of fantastic (however trivial the change may seem).

Please help with my iphone 4 ipod app?

Hi everyone, I am having problems with playing podcasts and music on my iphone 4 (IOS 4.3.5 8L1). The symptom is that the podcast skips or doesn't play at all. Music is similar.
I have had the phone replaced by Apple once, and have been to the genius bar 3 times and spent hours on the phone to Apple support.
I have done DFU restores on the phone and downloaded the entire IOS update several times, the firewall, AV and ad aware all disabled on the computer (windows 7 BTW) during the download of both the IOS and subsequent podcasts.
Directly after a DFU and with no apps installed, sample podcasts (that had experienced problems) seem to be OK. I then installed the apps one at a time and tested the podcasts in between, I installed the 6 apps I find most useful. I then downloaded more podcasts and the problem returned after the ipod app on the phone "lost" some podcasts that were shown as being on the phone in iTunes. Resyncing meant that the podcasts were shown but the problem of skipping etc. had returned.
Today I went through the same process and got the same result, but with different podcasts. Similarly, the ipod app "lost" some podcasts before resyncing corrected that part but started the "skipping" fault.
Other things I have done:
The podcasts all play correctly on iTunes, and also on my iPod.
I have downloaded the entire podcast library several times to eliminate the remotest possibility that they are corrupt (this would manifest by them not playing correctly in iTunes/iPod I would imagine as well).
I have had a iPhone 3GS for a while and also an iPod, so I am familiar with the products, and never had a problem.
I have logged a case with Apple and am now at my wits end, because it seems that getting any sort of ownership is a real problem.
Any suggestions on what else I can do?
Many Thanks,
Neil

Artwork messed up in Album view iPod app

Hi all,
Ever since about a week, the artwork for my music in Album view is completely messed up.
The pictures show up in all different sizes covering up other albums, which I cannot open anymore.
See the screenshot on the following link: http://t.co/RBT4sol / http://www.flickr.com/photos/atmasphere/5353621694/
Tried rebooting / restarting the iPod app / giving iPad a 'hard reset (home + power button)' but the issue is still persisting and gets really annoying.
Any advice on this?

This one's easy. Guns and Roses never had a great hit!

IPhone4, iPod app weirdness. Some tracks won't play. [updated]

Hi all.
So yesterday on my way to work my iPhone4 stopped playback (iPod app), i pressed the play button, but it just didn't do anything and the track remained unplayed. I click to the next track and that one worked just fine.
This happen to serval tracks on my way to work and later on my way home, and again this morning. The patten, is that all the music that won't play are coming from a few albums, Hendrix, Red Hot Chilli Peppers blah blah blah.
I checked those track in iTunes and they played just fine. Also these tracks were downloaded from iTunes. There were not CD rips for downloads from another vender.
The only thing i did before this happened, was a sync/backup to iCloud that night before (Sunday).
As yet i have no idea what went wrong. And if you have had this happen and figured it out please let me know. Or if this is happening to you now, what are you doing to figure it out?
I, right now, am re-uploading all the music. I first removed it, all. Every album, every track. And i'm hoping that by re-installing them all over again will fix this, weird, issue.
[Update]
Okay, so the re-install of all the music is done, and i played Jimmy Hendrix through my iPhone4. So i guess that worked. If i have anymore issue like this i'll update this post. But if you are having this same issue, than i suggest that you re-move all the music. Or rather that ones that are stalling. And re-load tham again. As i didn't want to miss any i did the lot. Hope this helps.

No replies. I've taken to noting the problem tracks and just re-ripping them from their original sources. This seems to fix the symptom at least, if not the cause.

Airplay ceases to stream iPod app from iPhone4 to ATV2, all else works

So, I have been running the new ATV since it came out, streaming without any issues from the get-go, all streamable / Airplay content, from my iPhone4. All apps / software is UTD on all devices.
After updating to the new Apple remote app, I can no longer stream the audio from the iPod app. The airplay button is there, it turns blue, but nothing comes through the ATV. This also applies to Pandora.
All the other apps (Youtube, pictures, Macbook etc) are completely fine via Airplay, ie this seems to be isolated to Ipod app / Pandora ie audio only.
Help!
Have rebooted all devices several times to no avail.

Same here. See below. I think we need to send a trouble ticket to apple:
Have Apple TV, Macbook, iPad and iPhone. All updated to the latest OS versions.
Movies (including youtube) streams fine from iPad or iPhone to Apple TV using Airplay.
But music alone won't. So if I play a song on iPod or Pandora, I get the Airplay icon, I select Apple TV, but no audio comes out of the apple tv. It thinks it is streaming, but it isn't. But movies (with the corresponding audio) streams to Apple TV fine.
On the other hand, music from my macbook goes to Apple TV fine.
It is just streaming music from iPad and iPhone that doesn't work.
Note, my problem is not that I don't get the Airplay icon-- I do. It just thinks that it is streaming and nothing is happening.
I've rebooted Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. No success.
Anyone else seeing this? Any thoughts?

IPod app fades and quits playing as iTunes app processes downloaded tracks

at least that appears to be the cause...
I'm downloading a bunch of tracks via the iTunes apps, while listening to the tracks via the iPod app.
After a track is downloaded as the iTunes app is "processing" it the iPod app will fade and then stop playing?!
if you leave it alone, sometime when the next track is "processed" the iPod app will start again?!
I suppose this is some sort of feature?!

I'm having the same issue. I've only noticed it since the 4.3.1 update. Every time a song hits the "processing" stage of its download, my music playing from the iPod fades and stops playing.
The music will sometimes start back up on its own but usually I have to hit play again. I'm really hoping this is not a new feature as it is somewhat annoying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keynote remote will not pair with ipad after update to 10.7.2-bluetooth issue or remote app issue?

Noticed keynote remote will not pair after updating. Bluetooth light flashes a couple of times then goes off. I'm wondering if it's a bluetooth issue or a keynote remote app issue.
Any suggestions or remedies?
thanks

Then again, it may not.
I've tried all the things recommended in the Apple KB article, and it doesn't work. Mulderscully is right, in the recent iOS 5 upgrade, Bluetooth is not turned on (at least, its symbol is not visible) from within Keynote even if you turned it on in the Settings menu. Posts in another thread recommended using another app to establish a Bluetooth connection between the iPad and iPod (I used Touch Rummy), then switching back to Keynote and Keynote Remote. This does work for me, but it is an awkward workaround. Shouldn't 'It just work'?

Ipod app wont stay open for more than 2 seconds...just loaded IOS 4

Hey so last night i downloaded the new IOS 4 for this thing and i was very happy with it, started making a playlist on the phone etc.
This morning I wake up and when i click the ipod app it opens up only to go back to the home screen within about 2 seconds. Just crashes. I tried using the double click feature just to play some kind of music. It starts to play, but within 2 seconds- crashes.
Please Help.

Hi
I've had similar issues.
Following a recent synch when on iOS4.0, the iPod would close after a few seconds.
I decided to do a restore and upgrate to 4.02 since I had other issues - slow response when typing and moving between screens or opening apps.
Since doing this, the iPod states there is no content, yet I have just loaded 10GB of music onto it.
I have carried out a number of restores using different PCs & Laptops, and set up the phone as a new one, but atill have the same issue. I have the latest iTunes and have done endless reboots etc.
I have always had issues when upgrading the iOS with this phone, and find that resoring on my XP laptop works, yet I always get errors when restoring on vista 32/64 OS.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Regards
Grant

4.1, now ipod app won't work!

Just realised the iPod app on my 3g won't work after the update. It launches to the initial screen, but nothing works, then it crashes to the home screen.
Tried a hard reset, no joy. I'm thinking that a restore via iTunes won't be any use as the last backup was with 4.0.1, but before I try that, anyone any suggestions/experience of this?
Ta.

Oops, should Google before asking here! Seems it's a common issue, needed to sync to sort it out.
