My 5th Generation IPod Touch keeps pausing, opening Siri, and crashing when I play music?

I won a brand new 64gb 5th gen iPod touch back in November, everything has been great with it until recently. Lately it has been glitching out whenever I try to play music. It seems to be only when the headphone are plugged in that it does it, but it happens daily and has become an inconvenience. It tends to pause, play, open Siri (ask her a question) sometimes speed up the song, and ultimately crash. Does anyone know of this and/or know how to fix it? I've tried a system restore with backing up info but nothing else. Thank you.

Hope your issue was fixed. With iOS 7 and now 7.0.4 the iPod touch fifth generation I have still crashes I have don't a soft restore, a complete restore from back up and also setup as new. Nothing worked. Saw the folks at the apple store on five different times. So they finally gave me a replacement. This has been going on since the new release. The only thing I have found is that it looses internet connectivity so I can put it in airplane mode. Close all apps. Then go back to wifi mode and some times this worked.
Your issues seem slightly different. But the irregularities began for me with issues with my music library on my iPod touch.
It's so frustrating to have such an expensive device functioning so poorly.

  • My 5th generation iPod Touch won't sync videos and music at all

    Since December 29th, I have been having trouble with my videos and music not syncing to my iPod Touch. I tried to manually select them to sync to my iPod, when I remove them the number of gigabytes free on the bottom of the screen doesn’t change. What’s wrong? Please help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    It just skips the step on preparing tracks to sync and takes a long time as well when it comes to waiting for changes to be applied.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    No, the iPod was not previously synced to another iTunes library/computer at all
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Yes, I have been succesffuly syncing from the library/computer before this problem happened to my iPod Touch.
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Yes, the songs do play in iTunes
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    I think I do have the right boxes checked to sync but have to check and see if I do or not have them checked. Even though I have been syncing in the manual method and it still won't do sync my videos or new music at all.

  • Does the 5th generation iPod 16GB(!) still have siri and the other new things???

    Hey everyone! So before i was reading about all the new things the Ipod 5th gen has.. and now i'm looking into getting one!
    But! Can someone tell me whether the 16gb 5th gen has all these features? For example siri, some of the camera features etc??
    Need to know asap!
    Thanks!
    Becky.

    Some features or not on the 16 GB. See the comparison here:

    the 16 GB does not have a back camera.

    Try restoring to factory settings (not from backup) and redownloading your content.

  • 5th generation Ipod Touch won't charge past 20%?

    I bought my 32 gb 5th generation Ipod Touch not more than 2 weeks ago at my local Walmart. Everything was working perfectly until today. All day, my ipod would charge until 20%.. run on this charge for approximately 10 minutes, and then die again. It does not continue charging after the 20% mark and I'm not quite sure how to verify that it does. I've tried using the charger with different usb ports/computers but still no luck. My ipod has been going through some pretty cold conditions temperature-wise the last few days.. does that have any affecton the battery maybe? Ahh, at this point I'm just frustrated.. hopefully someone knows how to fix this!

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • 5th generation ipod touch & Nike+ compatibility

    Hi guys
    I bought yesterday a pair of Nike shoes equiped with Nike+ technology which I'm willing to use. In fact my shoes carry the nike+ technology of the following type:
    http://www.nike.com/plus/products/training/
    According to Nike, the nike+ technology is compatible with iphone (3GS,4, 4S) or ipod touch 3rd and 4th generation
    http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/support/#answers/detail/a_id/25469/session/L3RpbWU vMTM0OTI0NjQwOC9zaWQvWkYyUHVNN2w%3D/p/3169,3700
    As I don't have an iphone (I might by iphone 5 but next year), I'll have to go for an ipod touch in order to be able and monitor my activity. And here are my questions regarding compatibility:
    1. Is the new ipod touch (5th gen) compatible with nike+?
    2. If yes, does it carry the nike+ sensor in its body (like the iphone 4s) or do I need to plug the Nike+ sport adapter?
    3. If I need to plug the nike+ sport adapter, I suppose that I'll also need one Lightning to 30pin adapter, right?
    4. Are older/other ipod devices compatible with Nike+ technology? i.e. ipod nano?

    I found the answer at the main site. the 5th gen. ipod touch IS compatible with nike+ and has the nike+ sensor built in...

  • 5th Generation iPod Touch Syncing issues

    I recently receive a 5th Generation iPod Touch as a gift and I am having issues with it. I plugged the iPod into my Windows 7 PC with iTunes 11.4.0.18 and had issues from the start. First, my iPod would not even sync any media content from my library. So I messed around with the settings until the content was on my iPod. Once, it was on there I went to play a song that I had downloaded and it immediately skipped the song and kept going to the next available song , so I went back on to the forums to see that it could be a corruption on the backup and all you would have to do is restore your iPod and it would fix your issue. I did that got to the same step and a few songs played but most skipped. The album art is there for most of the songs not the music. I then went to iPod>On this iPod to find that every song I had just sync had an exclamation point error by the song. This is only happening on the On this iPod menu the music plays fine on the music menu without an issue. I am curious of what I am doing wrong here? I also read that it could be a much bigger problem in that I would have to delete all my music and re-install it. If that is the case I will deal with the iPod as is. It is not worth my time to spend hours trying to re-install 15+ GB on my PC again. 

    Verify that all play in iTunes on the computer.

    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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.

  • What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general>profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device.  Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
    However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

  • When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch

    When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch?

    Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.

  • My 5th generation iPod touch issues

    Hey,
    My 5th generation iPod touch is just over a year old. About a month ago I started realising that my battery wasn't lasting as long as it always had. I then realised it was getting really hot, and I have now noticed my front camera isn't working.
    I have seeked lots of advice, I began dimming the brightness right down, closing all apps that were not being used, using airplane mode when I could, but still the same problems.
    I then reset the iPod and then fully restored it but still no luck.
    I live in the Caribbean right now on yachts and so getting to an Apple store is impossible. Is it a hardware issue and in need of being replaced?
    If so how much is this going to cost me as it is now 2 months out of warranty?
    Thanks for any advice given

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for (USA prices) $99 for the 16 GB 5G and $149 for the ohter 5Gs. They do not fix yours.The following will allow you to select your country.

  • 5th generation iPod Touch speaker is not working with music and apps, but the alarm sound goes off fine. Why?

    I have a 5th generation iPod Touch and it got a small amount of water in it around the speaker. When I tried to see if my music would play through it, it couldn't. But, when I tried my alarm to make sure I could still hear it, you could. The sound was fine from the alarm, not as loud as it used to be but I could still hear it. Why doesn't the sound work with my music and apps? Also, would I be able to exchange it if I have a warranty?

    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.
