IPod Touch Hard Crash Using Safari?

I just purchased a brand new iPod Touch 4th Gen a couple of days ago. Nothing has even been put on the Ipod, I've actually only used it for surfing the internet. I have already read up on Ipod resets and Safari kicking people back out to the Dashboard, however mine was a little different and I'm a little concerned.
I was on Facebook, and the system just went to a straight black screen. The screen remained black and the Ipod wouldn't respond. Sleep/Wake did not work, and neither did the Power/Lock to return the system back on. I plugged the Touch into a Mac and PC via usb but not connection was made. I also tried to power the Ipod in the wall mount but that did not work as well.
Finally, I restarted the system with a hard boot and got the system up and running.
What my main concern is that I haven't come across this problem yet and worried that there may be an issue with the Ipod. Usually crashes will bring you back to the Dashboard, however this was a nasty crash.
Is this normal or should I return it to Apple?
Thank you for any advice

I doubt if it is the magnets but it is more likely that case is pushing on the Sleep/Wake button. I don't believe the gen 1 and gen 2 iPods are the same size.
You can test the magnet theory by turning your iPod on and moving the magnets over the device.

  • 2nd Gen IPod Touch - Software crash using Krusell Music Multi Adapt Case

    When using my new 2nd gen iPod Touch with my old Krusell Music Case. When I close the case the software of my iPod crashes and the only way I can restart is to do a hard reset. It was Ok with my 1st gen iPod Touch.
    Is it possible that the magnets that are used for keeping the lid closed are effecting the electronics somehow? Do I have a problem with the iPod?
    Comments would be gratly appreciated.

    Max12345281, since the poster says he has iOS 4.1.2 he very likely has a 2G iPod and those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • My iPod touch keeps crashing! Please help!!

    My iPod touch keeps crashing.  Apps, Camera, settings. Everything. It just started after I installed the last update. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Restarts are not helping.

    Try restoring the iPod, first using a backup and if that doesn't help then as a new device.
    Regards.

  • My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    When it asks for another ID on an App Update, it means that the application was purchased under your sister's ID but downloaded to your device from the iTunes library that you share. Even though you both have your own Apple IDs, since you are syncing on the same computer, you are using the same iTunes library.
    Whoever purchased the app is forever tied to it, and you can only have one version of a particular app in a single library....
    Does that make sense?

  • Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Is there an app i can download for a ipod touch 4 that uses your camera instead of your screen for a flashlight

    is there an app i can download for an ipod touch 4 that uses your camera instead of your screen

    Since the iPod touch doesn't have an LCDflash like the iPhone any app that would turn on the LCD flash on the iPhone into a "flashlight" wouldn't work with the iPod.

  • Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road.

    Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
    I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/

    Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
    Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
    You don't like it.
    You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
    Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
    For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
    For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
    For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
    As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
    I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
    (They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.)

  • Ipod Touch keeps crashing, now wont open at all.

    I got my ipod touch a little under a year ago, and soon after getting it i noticed that the music would randomly stop and go to the homepage. It wasn't that bad because the music would always come back up, and it didn't happen that often. But then it started getting more and more often. Recently it started taking two or three times to get music to open, and now it crashed last night, and even after two hours of nothing but trying to open it, it still wont open. I'm getting a new ipod soon, but i wanted to know if there was any quick fix.

    This is kinda weird... My iPod touch keeps crashing although I got os 3.1.3.
    It always crashes while tring to play chalkboard stunts.
    I got a second generation iPod touch. Any help would be very helpful.
