Ipod touch freezing on music app

I got a new ipod touch 4th gen, running on ios 5.0.1. When I do turn it the side to do the album scroll it freezes somewhere around my "S" artists. It doesnt freeze when its turned up. Help?

Have you tried a reset? Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears.

    Hey glocster,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you have a song you want to remove from your iPod. This article tells you how to delete content from a lot of places.
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    Have a nice day,

  • Music vanishes all the time from iPod touch using the iTunes App...

    Hi
    I am often not near a computer and prefer to purchase music for my iPod Touch from the iTunes app on the Touch itself. This has worked fine for many months. I believe my iPod is a 3rd gen. However lately I suddently noticed that some music purchased recently was completely missing from the iPod, even some songs purchased as part of an album just vanished... the rest of the album songs were still there, but a couple of random ones had just gone.
    Now, every time I try and purchase and download something from the iTunes App (I literally just tried it again) it just doesn't appear in the purchased playlist.. or anywhere on my iPod in fact.
    Essentially, I've wasted my money on buying songs that just don't appear. I've also noticed that the music search chugs a lot these days, as if there's some sort of background problem.
    I recently upgraded the software (with multitasking etc) but the problem hasn't been fixed.
    This is a really frustrating issue, and I have purchased several songs twice and got nothing! So really keen to see if anyone has seen it before and if they can please help me?
    I've tried deleting apps, restarting the iPod... when I try and sync with the PC, the purchases are nowhere to be seen. It's all a bit disappointing really!
    I'm on a 64Gig iPod touch and have 41 Gig showing as available!
    Please help, I've searched for hours and got nothing on this specific issue.
    Thanks

    hmmm nobody can help me? Is this because nobody wants to tell me I've wasted my money?

  • Ipod touch, Freezing while syncing.

    everytime i connect my ipod it syncs my music and pictures fine, but when it starts to sync my apps it syncs about 3 apps. Then my ipod freezes while syncing, forcing me to restore my ipod from recovery mode. When i say it freezes, i mean that my ipod has the "Sync In Progress" screen, with the battery in the center, and on the bottom of the screen the "Slide To Cancel Sync" on the slider. normaly the slider is always flashing highlighting a few letters at a time, across the screen, saying "Slide To Cancel" When it freezes the slider stops flashing/scrolling and then a little spinning wheel starts to spin in the center of my ipod, on the battery logo. After about, 30 seconds the wheel stops spinning, my itunes freezes up, and my iPod touch freezes up. as soon as i disconect my frozen ipod, my itunes works again. then my ipod is stuck on the frozen "sync in progress" screen. i then have to do the long recovery/restore. Then i decided change my settings from automatic syncing to selecting what i sync. I synced my music, fine. I synced my Pictures, fine. i then decided to sync one app at a time. I first synced solitaire, fine. Then i synced sextuple, fine. Then i synced Super Monkey Ball, my ipod froze!!! So I thought that mabye thats what was freezing up my ipod. then i had to restore my ipod, again. and start the whole process over again. I synced sextuple, fine. Then i Synced super monkey ball, again, and it synced fine. then i synced solitaire, worked fine. then i synced Cube Runner, My ipod froze again. on a totaly different app. i had to restore from recovery mode again, and i synced my music, pictures, super monkey ball, solitaire, and sextuple. then i decided, i will just keep my ipod away from a computer so it won't happen again. so i have 23 apps, and i only have three on my ipod. i really want to keep trying to fix this, but i don't want to have to do a restore, and then have to resync all of my music/pictures again. I really want to know whats up with my ipod. PLEASE, IF ANYONE CAN HELP, PLEASE DO SO. I WILL BE TOTALY GREATFUL. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

    I have been having the same problem too. i was sick and tired of it so the i brought it to an apple store and basically just told me stuff i already know, then 2 days later it started happening again. So i went to the apple store yet again, different guy same nonsense, "let me check your battery" "let me see if you memory has problems" "don't have too many applications running at the same time" on and on.. all that happened is that they restored it and said it should work... well clearly i go home to sync it, everything freezes, i go back they give me a new one... yet here i am 3 days later still having the problems even with a new ipod. i reinstalled itunes like 6 times, restored my ipod 4 times... so basically everyone is having the same problem... i guess we just gotta wait til apple realizes that they have a big problem to fix and does something for us

  • I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste.  I found a delete feature and now EVERYTHING is gone. No icons. Nothing.  How do I get it back?

    If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

  • 3rd Gen. Ipod Touch Access To Music On An External Hard Drive

    Wondering if anyone has heard of or experimented with getting your iPod touch to access music files from an external hard drive. I have a 3rd gen. 64gb touch that is full and even though I love the storage capacity of the iPod Classic, I would hate to lose the touch functionality by going to one. I listen to the majority of my music while on the road for work. What I imagined in my head would be to transfer my music libray to a portable hard drive and have my Touch connected to it where it could access it. I know you can transfer your music library to an external hard drive connected to your computer and have iTunes access it but wasn't sure if the iPod would be able to do this.
    It doesn't seem like Apple will ever increase the size of the iPod Touch beyond 64gb since it looks like everyone is pushing music streaming. I guess I'm one of those people who want their music anytime and anywhere without having to have an internet connection.
    Thanks,

    You can get a HD like this. It uses wifi to and an app to access the HD

  • If I reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so how do i get the bought one back ???

    If i reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so what about the bought ones ?

    - A reset does not delete any media (apps, music etc) from the iPod.
    - A restore will delete apps, music and other media from the iPod.  If the media is in the iTunes library then a restore from backp will restore the media and after a restore to factory defaults/new iPod you can sync the media back to the iPod.
    - If not in the iTunes libray, you can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function.  Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?

    Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

  • Can the 4th gen iPod Touch run the same apps as iPhone 4?

    I am sorry, I'm not much informed about stuff like this, so I'm pretty much a noob.
    I got my eye on the new iPod Touch, especially because it is (from what I've read) an iPhone 4 without the phone and the GPS and a somewhat slightly inferior camera and display. I like the iPhone, too, of course, but the price is something that is really important to me, so it's iPod Touch for me.
    I read about all the new features for the new iPod, such as games and other apps, but I'm wondering - can it run the same games apps as the iPhone?
    From the fact they operate on the same OS and that they're very similar hardware wise (same processor) I concluded that they can run the same apps, but as I never seen it officially and as there only "iPhone apps" on iTunes store (not iPod Touch apps) I got the impression that might not be true.
    So I am asking here now, does the latest iPod Touch run the same apps (games etc.) as the latest iPhone? And can I run the iPhone apps I buy from the appstore on the iPod Touch 4th gen?
    I am sorry for my uninformativeness and I thank you in advance.

    Most of the iPhone apps will work the same way on the 4G iPod as they do on the phone. However, other that rely on the specific feature unique to the phone may install but will not work well if at all. The App Store should identify the system/device requirements.
