IPod keeps crashing when I open any messaging app ( iPod touch 5g, 32gb)

Every time I open a messaging application such as iMessage, Facebook messenger or kik, my iPod resprings (Shows Apple logo for 10 seconds).
I have tried rebooting, but I still have the same problem. I have an iPod touch 5th generation, 32gb, iOS 6.1.3, not jailbroken. I want to try to avoid a restore, but I will if its the only option. Thanks for any 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.
- Go to Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out and sign back in
- 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.

  • IPod keeps crashing when I open apps!

    After playing with my iPod apps for 15 minutes, the ipod turns off, and I have to turn it back on again. My ipod only does that with the apps, not music or videos. I have about 15 apps. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

  • InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document

    InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document. This suddenly started happening a few hours ago, and other files are unaffected. I downloaded a backup from last week and that was fine, but I need to get this latest version working again. I've cleared out the Recovery folder, deleted Preferences, and even reinstalled InDesign - all to no avail.
    I'm running Windows 8.
    Any help gratefully received!

    Even after emptying the recovery folder?
    It's either a damaged install or a bad font or some other conflict. Do the font trouble-shooter first, then move to checking for a conflict.
    To check for a conflict, go to the start button and in the Search field Type msconfig to bring up the configuration utility. Open it, go to the Services tab and click the box to Hide All Microsoft Services. You can uncheck just about anything that's left (for diagnostic purposes) except FLEXnet Licensing Services and a service starting with ##ID_String... which are part of the Adobe licensing sytem and need to be active for Adobe product to run.
    Now switch to the Startup tab, and uncheck everything except your mouse driver and the Adobe Service Manager for this version.
    Reboot. Ignore the warning about startup in diagnostic mode for the moment and Launch ID and see if it works. If it does, go back msconfig and add back startup programs in groups, rebooting each time and repeat the test until you get a failure. If all the startup programs work, repeat with the services tab. If nothing causes a problem I have no idea what's going on.
    On the other hand, if ID fails again straight off with all that stuff disabled, the installtion is corrupt. Run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall while still in diagnostic mode, then run msconfig one last time to restore normal startup.

  • Iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise?

    My iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise? This is only happeining in the last few days I cannot use facebook on my iphone it crashes and slows down our network/wifi, is this a problem with facebook (latest version downloaded) or OS which is 6.1.3 - anyone any solutions? Thanks

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't work quit the Facebook app. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then delete the Facebook app and download it again.

  • My printer setting box has changed and photoshop keeps crashing when I open printer settings

    My CS6 keeps crashing when I open printer settings, and the printer setting dialog window has changed

    Possibly corrupt preferences.
    Hold down Ctrl-alt-shift keys and start Photoshop. A dialog offering to delete the settings should appear. Answer "Yes".
    cmd-alt-shift if that's a Mac.

  • Hey! My flash player keeps crashing whenever I open any kind of website with any flash contend.

    Hey! My flash player keeps crashing whenever I open any kind of website with any flash contend. Videos won't load, moving advertisements, all that stuff. Its also not just Firefox, videos don't work in IE or Chrome. I'm completely updated on all the plugins as well. Thanks for any help you may have!

    IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX version) than Firefox and Chrome use (the Plugin version). You might want to try the Adobe Flash forums for help with those Flash problems. <br />

  • Just updated to the newest version of Firefox and it keeps crashing when I open the browser. I tried opening it with add-ons disabled and it still keeps crashing. Crash ID: bp-03b36d11-304e-4f80-ab9e-79b7f2111223

    I just updated to the newest version of firefox for my mac laptop. It keeps crashing when I open the browser and does so even in safe mode. Laptop is about two years old. Might it be an issue with the OS? I have not updated to Leopard yet.

    It seems that the problem is related to fonts.
    (1) How were you updating your operating system ?
    If you use *_Software Update_*, hurry up, download and apply the combo updater available from :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    but CAUTION, this update introduce a serious problem with some fonts. At this time the only workaround available is to reinstall 10.6 tyhen apply the combo updater 10.6.6 available from :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1349
    (2) if you didn't used *_Software Update_*, run a maintenance tool like the free MAINTENANCE available from :
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html
    Apply it to clear caches files, mainly those dedicated to fonts.
    It would be also a good idea to check the health of your fonts with FontBook.

  • Ipod Touch keeps crashing - can't open any apps

    I have a 4th generation iPod Touch that is barely over a year old.  About a week before the warranty expired, the power button quit working.  I arranged to send it in for repair but was hesitant because when I sent my nano in, I received a refurbished one that quit working properly a few weeks after the 90 day warranty expired.  I really didn't want to get a refurbished Touch so I decided to live the problem.
    Now, suddenly, after working fine all day, all my apps keep crashing - I can't even use the settings app to try and activate the assistive touch (I read that this might help me resolve my problem).
    Since the power button is broken, is there anyway to do a reset? 
    As an aside, ths problem with the power button breaking seems to be widespread.  It really ticks me off to spend a few hundred dollars on an item only to have it break within a year.  I think there should be a recall and Apple should replace the obviously defective iPod Touch with brand new ones. 

    Ended up plugging it into itunes where I updated to the newest version.  After about 1/2 an hour of doing all the updating, install and synch, it is working fine.
    I'm still frustrated about the broken power button.  I am going to try to collect data on this issue just to show apple it's a problem they need to address.

  • Firefox update (19.0) keeps crashing when I open anything new or try to refresh. VERY IRRITATING!!!

    I updated firefox as was "suggested." I was happy and had NO PROBLEMS with the older version. now whenever I try to open a new tab, a new page, or refresh an old page, this version crashes. REPEATEDLY. It is very frustrating and irritating. I do not like IE and do not want to change over to it, but if your "upgrade" keeps crashing, I don't really have any other alternative.
    It also opens 2 tabs when I click on a news story. it crashes when i control c or control v. it crashes when i back space.
    I bet I've already sent 30 crash reports since I updated. What the F... are you doing with them???
    PLEASE FIX THIS UPDATED VERSION (19.0). At the current time, it is a piece of crap!!

    It may also be worth noting that the Beta channel provides Firefox 20 and it has been confirmed that does not crash because of this problem.
    * http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/#beta/beta-desktop
    The Beta version is secure. It is relatively straightforward if necessary to revert back to the release channel, so there is always a secure downgrade option, and the downgrade is almost certain to work, as once you have been in beta for over 6 weeks you will have already used that version without problems.
    The more users who use the Beta channel, the more problems will be picked up and fixed before they even get to the release channel.

  • My Acrobat Pro for Mac keeps crashing when I open files

    When I have a file opened in acrobat but then I try to open more files the program keeps crashing. It is very annoying and there are no updates available.

    Do you see any error code when the program crashes?
