IPod slow to unlock & open music

When i enter my password into my iPod correctly, my iPod will take a while to unlock and show the homescreen. Same with when I open the music tab. Help?

even i have noticed his several times.the reason for this is:
when u press the center button to close an app or music or video,they all will be running in background and take up all your ram and make your ipod slow.so u need to shut those background apps.
to close those apps press the center button twice quickly and u ll find the apps that are running at the bottom.tap the icons of that app and press the close symbol on that app.....
hope this speeds up

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 have a brand new ipod touch 32gb ipod touch. Upgraded to ios 7. open music app but there is no radio tab to select!!! All online help just says, "just select it". Can you help?

I have a brand new ipod touch 32gb ipod touch. Upgraded to ios 7. open music app but there is no radio tab to select!!! All online help just says, "just select it".
I have looked at the "More" part but again radio is not an option.
Can you help?

Just wait a bit. Turn it off, then back on.
I don't know why, but after the update it doesn't show up right away.
When it finally does, you will find a red icon on the bottom of the screen, on the left side.

ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc. I cannot swipe to the second page of icons, black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

I had this problem as well. This is what I found by searching online. I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked. I hope this helps you. Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings. Good luck.
It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings.
Double-tap to open Settings.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap.
Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on."
You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

Sharing Music w/ Family - How do unlock purchased music?

We have 3 computers and I would like to put songs on that my family members have purchased. I have figured out that I can back it up and then authorize my computer with their apple account. However I know that you are only allowed to authorise 5 computers on one account. Is there a way to unlock this music so that I do not use up aurthorization when we share music? If not, what happens when we exceed 5 computers - say we upgrade our computers? Will the deauthrization open account for new computers?

You can "share" your music with up to four other computers--by authorizing them (and having some sort of wireless network so the computers can "see" your library).
However, when you're sharing--the non-host computer can only listen to the music--you can't manipulate it in any way (i.e. make playlists, see coverflow view, delete songs, load iPods, etc.).
To download music, you need to have the account password. Does everyone in your family know the password? If so, make a rule that all music has to be downloaded on the main computer--so it gets filed in the central library! If not, don't worry--others will be able to listen--but they won't be able to buy!

Music files still on Ipod... But Music does not show up

Here's my problem:
I plugged my Ipod (30gb 5g) into the computer the other day and put a few songs on it with iTunes. After I disconnected it, I went into my Music menu on the actual Ipod, and there was no music showing! All my Playlists, Music, and Video were gone. (But not any other information, photos, ect.)
Anyway, I plugged the iPod back in to the comp and opened it up in My Computer. The Music files and everything are still in the Ipod_Control folder. All the space is still taken up on the iPod by the music files, but Itunes doesn't seem to read it. When I plug the iPod in, iTunes tells me that it can't read the information from my ipod, and to Restore it to Factory Settings. Now, as I don't have all of my 1000 songs in iTunes anymore (actually very little of them, my comp only has 30 gigs) I really don't want to do that.
I'm figuring this has something to do with the itunes database file... but it's size is about 2 mb, which i think is about normal for a music library my size.
So I'm very confused. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read that. Even greater thanks to anyone who might be able to help.

I had this problem some time ago...it's easy to sort out just as long as your itunes content matches that of your ipod. You need to follow this:

Once you've completed this just resync your ipood with itunes.
Alternativley you could try this:

I have to WIPE iPod every time I add music to iTunes!

Hi. I seem to have everyone's problem at once.
I've just upgraded to an 80Gb Video iPod after filling up my old 20Gb click-wheel model, which still works as wonderfully as the day I bought it over 4 years ago. My new model is, however, driving me crazy! On first plugging it in, I got the Unknown error -48 that others have described, and was told that I couldn't sync. I updated, I restored, I synced again. Fine - the music was there even though iTunes was still telling me that I had the -48 error. However, every time I add a CD to my iTunes collection and then plug in my iPod, I find that the music is not added. What's more, I'm told that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library and that if I want to sync with this one it will erase all data and start over - this takes several hours and is totally unacceptable.
I also get the flashing 'do not disconnect' sign permanently whenever connected, even if there's nothing being transferred.
Weirdly, if I click on the iPod in my 'Devices' list in iTunes, I find all the menu options changed and grayed out. If I try and select, say, 'sync music' or 'sync movies' I get a message asking me if I really want to do that, since "all existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with the contents of your iTunes Library".
I'm a humble Apple fan who's always used Apple and is used to intuitive devices. This experience is demoralising and I'm regretting my expensive and frustrating purchase even after 1 week. Please can someone help? Do I have to send this device back to Apple?

At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for error -48. The Apple fix of erasing the iPod with Disk Utility and restoring with iTunes that is mentioned in various posts appears to work for some and not others. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a reliable fix comes along. Give it a try and it may help with the secondary problems you are also experiencing.
Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
Enable Disk Use on the iPod
Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod to update it run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me.

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.

My ipod touch will not open apps

I tried to update my ipod touch 4g to IOS 5.0 and after a few minuets it started to run very slow then not opening my apps. but it will open the apps like calendar,notes,etc.any help?

You may want to try turning the IPOD off and then turning it on and see if that does anything

IPod touch no longer opens iTunes -- option is greyed out in device Summary

I've been using my 1st gen iPod touch with iTunes for two years with no problems. Recently when I plug the iPod into my computer, nothing happens (besides charging). If I manually open iTunes, the iPod does appear as a device, and I can click Sync to get things going -- but the "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" option is greyed out. Anyone know how to get this option back so my iPod will automatically open iTunes when I connect it to my iMac?

Looks like that, or a combination of the two took care of the problem. Yaaaaayyyyyy!
Thanks again for your help. It got a little dicey because without the manage my own files box checked iTunes tried to sync the iPod to iTunes and there wasn't enough room on the iPod for all of the music. Once I got the prevent sync bow unchecked in Preferences and unchecked the manage my files and use disc boxes unchecked I was able to check the start iTunes box and the manage my files box an apply it so that I have the best of both worlds going own.
Life is good!
Thaks again Brother.

IPod won't sync my music

Hi there. I'm not exactly technically savy, and I've hit a wall as far as critically thinking is concerned with this issue. So, I cannot figure out what's wrong with my iPod.
I have a 5th Generation iPod and I'm having some problems uploading music. Earlier today, when I plugged in my iPod I realized that some music that I'd formerly purchased at the iTunes store was still on my iPod; I have since purchased the cd, erased the iTunes files from my computer, and downloaded the music from the cd.
An alert popped up saying something to the effect of: "You have purchased music on iPod that have been erased from computer; do you want to download them?" I quickly said yes because I forgot about this music. Then, I uploaded all of the checked items in my iTunes music library, including several playlists. It took a little tinkering (unchecking music that I didn't want to listen to), but I pared down my song selection and crammed the iPod practically to maximum capacity.
Later today, I realized that my iPod now had duplicate copies of the same album, so I tried to delete the purchased music from iTunes, and then update my iPod. But now it won't download that same amount of music??? I've reset, reinstalled, and restored my iPod, but I keep getting notices that it won't hold that same amount of music that it held earlier today.
What might I be leaving out of this process? Is there any way of telling how much I've gone over so I can cut out the appropriate amount of music?
Thanks for any support you guys can give.

Can I use my iPod to move photos and music from one computer to another?

Hi,
Is it possible to have photos and music on my iPod from one computer, and then copy those from my iPod to another computer? (like with an ordinary USB-unit)
And another question: Is it possible to download movies onto my iPod? If yes, how? (owner of an iPod 30GB)
Thanks!

Did you set it to copy full-resolution photos??? If so, enable your iPod for disk use, open my computer, click on your iPod, and open the pictures folder. You can just drag them from there. If you didn't, use a program such a CopyPod Photo (google it) to copy photos from your iPod. Note that the files will only be the same resolution as your iPod screen (320x240) and not worth using for anything else. If you want to use it for sharing, definitely go with the full-res option. It is at the bottom of the photos pane in the iPod screen in iTunes.
