IPod touch apps are crashing now

Ever since I updated my 2nd gen ipod touch to software version 4.2.1, almost every app that I purchase crashes, and apps that I have had for a long time and have never crashed before are now crashing. Is this a bug in the new software version? Can it be fixed?
Other info: my iPod is a 16gig, and according to the "About" section under "settings", it has 2.8 gigs of open space. My computer runs on Windows XP, and I am pretty sure I have the latest version of iTunes.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again? You won't lose data doing a reset.

  • My Ipod touch apps are not working.

    My Ipod touch apps are not working. They attempt to appear but it seems like something is stopping them. They show up for less than a second then dissappear. Also all of my synced music dissappeared as well. I'm not sure if that is something in common?? I've tried resetting my ipod. I never link it to a computer, and that is why I synced my music from a friend. Please help me!

    Sorry I mean that I reset my settings. I havent reset the whole i pod. I want to try to keep all of my apps.

    My ipod is really beggining to irritate me,when i finally get apps sent to my ipod touch thay are still saying "waiting...."and now the apps picture on all of them is blank and i still HAVE YET TO DOWNLOAD ONE APP SUCCESSFULLY! What's going on with my ipod & how do i fix it?

    Have you tried a hard reset of your iPod yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If that doesn't work, are you still connected to a network?  Either way try connecting to a different one and downloading another FREE app to see if that helps.

    2) Then, press and hold the home and power buttons for 10 seconds, until the apple appears. Allow the ipad to restart.
    If the problem persists, you may need to restore the ipad from within the computer's itunes program.

    Ans some apps do not work with iOS 6 and will require the developer's update the apps.

    iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

    After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Ipod touch apps crashing w/ ios 6?

    all of my ipod touch apps have been crashing on my newly updated ipod touch 4. especially safari, the app store and ibooks. is there a fix out yet? my ipod has also been really slow and laggy...

    Try this.
    1. Plug the iPod into the computer while iTunes is running.
    2. Press and hold down the Power button (one at the top) and the Home button for exactly 10 seconds (you may need a timer!
    3. While STILL HOLDING ONTO the Home button, release the Power button, and hold it for 15-20 seconds until you get a pop up on iTunes saying that your iPhone is in recovery mode.
    Keep in mind that your iPod screen should be completly blank, and should not be showing anything. Just restore the phone and you will be good.

  • Reset ipod touch (2nd gen) and now safari is missing. What now?

    Reset ipod touch (2nd gen) and now Safari is missing. What now?

    Don't despair Look at "Vintapps" in the Apple app store.  It has tons of available apps for all those earlier ios devices.  And you can download them right to your ios device.  Many are free.
    Although I wrote this 99 cent app specifically to help solve this problem, I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."
    Be sure to keep backups of older software.  Once an app is updated, the older version is no longer available to be downloaded from Apple.

  • "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" will not sync to iPod after restore

    Hi, new here.
    I'm using Windows, and have a need to reformat & reinstall every six months or so (I install & uninstall a lot of software; I'm a tester by profession). Now, I do not restore my iPod touch quite as often as I reformat, but when it can't be helped, like this other day when iTunes suddenly won't recognize my iPod touch when I connect it. The first time it happened, I was able to contact Apple Support by phone and they kindly re-posted the January Software Upgrade to my account by default, and I was able to re-download it (I also sent an email, hence I was re-sent the file a second time after that, which I have also re-downloaded since). I realized I might run into the same problem in the future, (and I've been doing a lot of reading around these forums) so I backed up the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file.
    Three months later (i.e., today) my iPod wonked out again, but I can't seem to re-sync the file I backed up to my freshly-restored, now-plain-vanilla, without the January Software Upgrade iPod touch. The steps I followed are as below:
    (1) Copied the backed up file to "C:\Users\RonMarc\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa"
    (2) Re-launched iTunes and made sure I'm logged in to iTunes with the account I used to purchase the upgrade
    (3) Restored the iPod touch (it automatically downloaded 1.1.4 (at the time I purchased the upgrade, it was 1.1.3; I have also tried shift+Restore and browsed to a IPSW file of the 1.1.3 version)
    (4) When prompted if I'd like to set up the iPod as a new iPod or if I wanted to restore a previously backed up copy, I opted to restore. I have also tried re-restoring it and doing it the other way, i.e., "set up as a new iPod"
    (5) Ejected the iPod, reconnected it and Synced. Still, no January Software Upgrade.
    I'd like to know if I missed out on any steps. Or if the "back up the IPA file" method works only under the Mac, as in here. The idea of
    Thanks in advance. My apologies for the long post as I'd like to provide as much detail. -Ron Marc

  • 2.0 upgrade won't let me restore ipod touch app pack

    I can't add back the iPod touch app pack after upgrading to 2.0. Is the app pack now incompatible with 2.0? When I try to open my backed up ipa file, it says "The application 'iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa' could not be added to your iTunes library because it is not a valid application." I also thought that maybe the free apps in the App Store has the same applications as what was in the app pack, but I couldn't find them. It would suck if I have to re-purchase!

    Okay, it looks like the apps from the pack are part of the 2.0 update. So it makes sense that I don't need to install the app pack. It just threw me off for a minute since I was expecting to see the apps listed in the Applications section of iTunes.
