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.

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.

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.

Computer keeps crashing/shutting down while syncing -?USB fail?-

Hi,
I recently bought a new Ipod Touch 32gb. But there's one small thing that keeps annoying me. Everytime I connect my Ipod to my computer, it shuts down under 5 minutes. (It did manage to stay connected for 30 minutes, once...)
So I went to the computer store to "let it fix the problem". They told me that it was a problem with my USB-drivers and that they had solved the problem. Once I came home the problems began again.
Does anyone know what I have to do to fix this problem without buying a new chipboard or computer if it's my USB-driver? Or do I have a virus or such?
Thx!

I don't believe this is a driver or a virus issue. My 64gb is a month old and doing the same thing. I wrote to Apple for advice and they responded "try using the forums for information". No joke.
Every time I sync the device it causes my PC to freeze and sometimes crash. Am also running a 2nd gen Touch with no such issues, syncing fine. My 3rd gen also keep "verifying", sometimes for ten minutes at a time. Have already had to restore the iPod once and think I will have to do it again. Touch screen also freezes intermittently and data I've transfered is frequently corrupted.
I'm trying to get a replacement from the retailer but this and several other bugs really need to be addressed directly by Apple for such an expensive item.

4G iPod touch KEEPS CRASHING AFTER 6.1.3 UPDATE

Okay, so I live in an area with rural internet. Because of this I have only just downloaded the 6.1.3 iOS update this week for my 4G iPod touch. I have only just discovered how bad an idea that was.
Safari crashes every half-minute, the iPod is now INCREDIBLY slow, Twitter, YouTube and almost every app I have keeps crashing after a minute or so...
I have gone over all the 'fixes' that google has presented to me.
Clearing the multitasking bar doesn't change jack and I can't roll back my iPod to the backup on iTunes because I just got a new computer. And the first thing I did was move all my music over and SYNC THE IPOD AFTER IT HAD BEEN UPDATED.
So what am I supposed to do? My iPod is USELESS to me now as an internet-capable device OR music player, and no matter where I look the only help anyone can offer is "Apple doesn't support downgrading"???
So Apple updates the OS with a faulty patch and I have to deal with the failure?
Is there anyone who can actually HELP me? What do I do? Jailbreak the **** thing? I've never jailbroken anything before, but surely it can't render my iPod any more useless than it already is! It's not like the thing is covered under warranty anymore! (Really convinient, that...)
Can some please help me get my iPod WORKING again?! I paid $300 dollars for a music player with internet access, not a paperweight!
Either way, I'm officially done with Apple devices after this nonsense. I hear Galaxy Tabs actually work! Imagine!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPod touch 5th generation shuts down randomly??

My iPod touch 5th generation will randomly shut down out of the blue, and when it does it has these strange vertical multicolored stripes that show up, the screen turns dark, and then it turns off. It then turns itself back on. It will do this when I'm in the middle of scrolling through a web page, or typing a message, or listening to music, or anything really. It will do this sometimes three or four times during an hour. It will also not keep time. Whether I set it manually or automatically, it will change to the current time but not keep time regularly. There are no cracks or dings in the screen or back, and I always have it in a case. It started doing this a couple weeks ago, and I have no idea why. I've tried resetting it to the factory settings and then redownloading all my apps and music and pictures, but it's still not working. Any help would be appreciated.

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

IPod Touch won't shut down

every time I try to shut it off it powers down and a few seconds later it starts back up.
i've restored it twice and forcing it to shut down by holding the home and sleep button but it just keeps turning back on.

Restored the touch and the top "on/off" button still doesn't work. Weird. Still not sure if it is related to the update 3.1.3 or if my hardware coincidentally went at the same time. If anyone else out there with a 1st gen touch has a similar problem with "shutting down" their ipod touch please let me know.

1st Generation Ipod touch keeps crashing/going into stand by mode 3.1.3

I have a 1st generation ipod touch that I recently restored to the newest firmware 3.1.3. My problem is that after this restore and subsequent restore attempts is that the device keeps clicking off to a black screen when I use wifi or transition from different desktop screens. The device does not completely crash as once the screen goes black I can hit the home button an slide to unlock. I have found that if I disable wifi this problem does not occur. I have tried to both reset and restore with no success. Any suggestions or ideas?

If a restore did not help, I'm afraid you have a hardware issue there.

Ipod Touch keeps crashing - can't open any apps

I have a 4th generation iPod Touch that is barely over a year old. About a week before the warranty expired, the power button quit working. I arranged to send it in for repair but was hesitant because when I sent my nano in, I received a refurbished one that quit working properly a few weeks after the 90 day warranty expired. I really didn't want to get a refurbished Touch so I decided to live the problem.
Now, suddenly, after working fine all day, all my apps keep crashing - I can't even use the settings app to try and activate the assistive touch (I read that this might help me resolve my problem).
Since the power button is broken, is there anyway to do a reset?
As an aside, ths problem with the power button breaking seems to be widespread. It really ticks me off to spend a few hundred dollars on an item only to have it break within a year. I think there should be a recall and Apple should replace the obviously defective iPod Touch with brand new ones.

Ended up plugging it into itunes where I updated to the newest version. After about 1/2 an hour of doing all the updating, install and synch, it is working fine.
I'm still frustrated about the broken power button. I am going to try to collect data on this issue just to show apple it's a problem they need to address.

IPod Touch 5th Gen shut down by itself, and will not turn back on?

I was just on the YouTube app when suddenly my iPod shut itself down, and the battery was well over 50%.
It will not turn back on, and when I plug it into the charger, nothing changes. Any suggestions?

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 another cable
- 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.

What do I do when my apps on ipod touch keep crashing for no reason?

Apps keep crashing...!!! Help what do I do??

Hold Power and Home buttons until the iPod restarts and try to open programs again

My Ipod Touch keeps crashing...

I have a 2nd Gen, 32GB Ipod Touch. This only seems to happen when I have not been using my ipod for a few hours, it never happens while I am using it :/. I unlock it and then it is suddenly frozen on the lock screen, as in it does not respond when I try to slide to open it, but it still shows the correct time and I can still lock it again, but the touch screen is just not responding. So I try holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. Yes, the Apple logo appears, fine. But then I get the screen that tells me to connect it up to Itunes (the USB symbol), so I connect it up, and it's randomly deleted EVERYTHING off my Ipod, including anything I may have bought, so I've lost that too. :/ So I have to restore from backup, and it takes all day to put everything back on. I even tried setting it up as a new Ipod, in case there was something wrong with the backup.
The next day - all of this happens again. It's a nightmare!
Please help!

Try resetting your iPod.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help...
