Ipod touch bricked after adding ap

I have been using my ipod touch frequently and love the new apps. But I don't like how my ipod crashes when I update apps or get new ones. It has happened several times since 2.0 came out. Yesterday I installed the new ipod touch software update and everything ran well. Then in the evening I tried to install the new free game that apple has a featured app - dots, I think it's called. My ipod froze up completely. I tried everything that I have used in the past to get it started and have had no luck. Here's what I've done:
Reset the ipod touch - many times
Connected it to itunes - every time I disconnect the ipod, itunes picks it up, but when I plug it back in, itunes no longer sees it.
Reset ipod while connected to itunes
Not only is the ipod not picked up in itunes, it crashes itunes completely.
Is this a common problem or do I have a lemon of an ipod that I need to replace? Does anyone have any tricks that I haven't thought of?
I also used disc utility to see if the ipod was showing up there - it isn't.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem. The ipod crashes itunes but I can do a force quit and restart itunes with no problem.
I have tried everything I can think of over and over because when something like this happened earlier, I found that if I kept trying, eventually I would get an opportunity to choose restore when the ipod was actually connected. This time, the behavior is very consistent. The only time the ipod shows up in itunes is right after I disconnect it! And if I plug in the ipod while it is on and frozen, it crashes itunes.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • How do I get my video playlists back on iPod Touch 4G after (epic fail) iOS6 update

    As other users have identified, playlists present on iTunes on laptop but not on iPod touch 4G after iOS6 update except when select edit. Can I get them back? Not wasting time messing around. Either this is easily sortable or I get a new player from another maunfacturer - seems Apple can't be bothered to sort these issues so not sure I can be bothered with Apple anymore.

    i had a problem simular after doing an update on itunes, I re-set=up the itunes according to my os and its working fine

  • I upgraded to ios6 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved.  Can I some how restore from the apps?

    I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved.  Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?

    As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.

  • Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore.

    Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore. I can't take pictures or view them at all. Every time I try opening the app it kicks me out of it and sends me to the home screen. I have tried turning off my iPod and back on multiple times. Even double tapping the home screen button and closing my opened apps. And I tried looking for the photo app in the app store but I did not see it. So I am wondering what can I do? And is this due to the new software update? Does anyone else have this problem?

    No, I have not tried any backup tools. I havent restored my ipod back to factory settings yet and then sync everything back on it. I am kind of scared too because I dont want to lose anything. I have just been hoping some new apple software update will come out because I know several people have had problems when updating to the newest version available.

    Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right.  It does show my user name.  It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password.  Everything in iTunes and my account looks right.  The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
    There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store.  One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
    Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
    The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on.  You can change that by going to Settings>Store.  Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

  • TS2446 my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how to i reset?

    my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how do i reset the password.

    If it's showing the disabled screen due to too many incorrect passcode attempts then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • IPod Touch reseting after iOS 4.0 upgrade

    I upgraded my 32GB iPod touch Monday and noticed that if I am playing music and the screen has locked, sometimes I have to reset the iPod to get it to turn back on. So far it has happened about 5 times in the last 3 days, usually after listening to a longer podcast and then waiting 5-10 minutes before moving to something else. Is this a problem with the screen lock function, the home button, or some other issue? Obviously the home button functions, since you have to hold it down to do the reset and I can do that just fine, but could it be unresponsive for some reason after the screen lock function kicks in? Am I hitting the wrong button now to get the iPod screen to turn back on after the OS update? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Using your wife's laptop, you can do the 3.0 upgrade, provided she has iTunes 8.2. You'll need to copy the update from your machine to her laptop. The update on your machine should be located at C:\Documents and Settings\(account name)\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. The file name is iPod2,13.0_7A341Restore.ipsw You'll need to add the folder \iPod Software Updates to her laptop if it doesn't exist, then copy the update into it. You can then do a restore and it will load 3.0. From there, you can connect to your machine and sync your stuff back.

  • How can I retrieve my iPod Touch information after I restore it?

         A couple of months ago my computer crashed and on that computer was my itunes (which contained everything that I have on my iPod Touch, over 150 purchased songs, a couple of purchased apps aswell as purchased movies, tv shows and music videos). I immediately thought that this wouldn't be a problem, because I could purchase more stuff via the itunes and app store on my iPod. However, a couple of days ago my Safari kept crashing after about 5 minutes of use and subsequently the rest of my apps started doing the same. I then decicded to check if any other iPod Touch users were experiencing the same problems (which they did) and read that the only solution would be for me to restore my iPod. Now I am worried that if I restore my iPod, which seems to be the only option, I will lose all of my data.
         If anyone knows any possible way that I could either transfer my information onto my new computer and then restore it or any other solution to my problem. Any and every advice that is posted is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
    *Also, if this helps, I haven't updated my iPod touch yet in the same fear of losing my data.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For noniTunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed there:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.  This will also update the iOS.
    If in the USA (and other countries with iCloud) you can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I am restoring the data from my itunes account to a replacement ipod touch. After all is finished in my laptop through itunes the ipod stays on the same page and does not let me finish the process, wht shoul i do?

    I got a replacement ipod and did the restore data through itunes with its sync in my laptop, however, after itunes process is finished the ipod does not let me choose to continue or to finish the process, what should I do?,

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • I realize I must be the last person looking for THE PODCAST APP for my new iPod touch, but after looking 4 times, I have given up thinking that app must be long retired now...thanks to anyone who could help a late-bloomer.

    I realize I might be one of the last first-time buyers of an iPod Touch (latest version) but I cannot find the PODCAST APP for it anywhere! After wasting a total of an hour on 4 separate occasions today, I've given up, thinking perhaps I AM the last person who would need this app & it's 'retired'. Even typing in PODCAST APP & hitting the magnifier 10X's did NOTHING but hurt my finger tip. Could some nice person please help CONFUSED & CRAZED in CONNECTICUT? Thank you in advance!  Oh, one more question- How does 'one' get their older iPod players like the BOSE & 2 other good ones I have, WITH the Bluetooth music receivers I bought already on them, to actually DO what its designed to? Now add clueless, to my previous sign-off & not BORN in 1995! But, hey, I'm trying! ; )

    You can connect the iPod to a computer and download the Podcast app using iTunes >  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcasts/id525463029?mt=8
    Or, on your iPod, tap the App Store then type in Podcast then download the app. (It has the same purple icon as the one at the iTunes Store on a computer).
    Only iPods with Bluetooth capability can, "pair" with Bluetooth BOSE devices.
    On an iPod touch, tap Settings > Bluetooth.
