My ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps what should I do ?

my ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps and close the when i am working on them what should I do ?

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
Next 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.
- 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(4g) is slow and when i open a app, after few minutes it automatically closes and also takes about 4 minutes to enter settings app.

    My iPod(4g) is slow and when i open a app, after few minutes it automatically closes

    Sounds like a software issue. Back-up the iPod to a computer and then restore the software via iTunes and set it up as a new device. If it is working fine then restore your backup to the device. If it is still playing up before you put your information back on then it is most likely a faulty device, and would need a service.

  • I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my computer is slow and will not open some pages  can i uninstall

    I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my mac is really really slow and will not open some pages. Can I uninstall?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

    Hello John...
    You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    FYI... this is a user to user forum. If you can't resolve the issue, information for contacting AppleCare  here.

    My ipod 5 hs white horizontal lines and I doesn't want to slide, what should I do?

    Hi Ted,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides tips that should help you resolve the display issue that you described.
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2771
    Display image issues
    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
    View different content to verify that the issue is not content related.
    If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and slide the slider.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Cheers!

  • Macbook pro runs slow and itunes wont open

    My macbook pro froze and went to a black screen while I was using quicktime so I forced shut down and rebooted and now it runs really slow and itunes and quicktime wont open.  I am completely updated

    Your MBP should be able to accept 6 GB RAM.  I suggect that you install the maximum.  Yosemite should run more efficiently as a result.
    I note that you have Novatel and Sierra wireless installed.  If you do not need one, delete it.
    Ciao.

  • Ipod is frozen on song and won't respond to anything, what should I do?

    I have tried resetting and it is still frozen. I can't restore, because neither Itunes nor my computer will recognize it.

    You may need to let your iPod's battery run down fully. Then, after it is completely dead, let it recharge through a poewr source for 3 hours.
    Also, before you get into that, you could try this:
    1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
    2 - Now begin to rapidly toggle the "Hold" switch back and forth while your iPod is connected.
    3 - After you've done that for a little while (for perhaps 15-20 seconds), eject the iPod if needed, then disconnect it from your computer.

  • I have an Ipod touch 1st generation which for some reason will not sync to my itunes account because of an 'error', though the error it speaks of is unknown.I have restored the ipod to original factory settings and it still will not sync.What should I do?

    My title question pretty much explains it all but here are a few more details. I have tried almost everything I could think of before restoring my Ipod. I switched cords, turned it off before I plugged it in, I turned it on before I plugged it in, I manually tried to sync it, I turned of the computer and restarted, and after all that I finally restored it . But before all of this I was having other problums with it as well. It will freeze up when I use certain apps and also has a tendency to switch album covers, though now theres no album covers left on the ipod, the my itunes library is still fully intact... What should I do?

    Sorry for  the typos, I hope my message still gets across!

    When I try and download an email attachment on safari it goes to parallels and I am not able to open it. What shoul I do?

    Redirect the saving of the attachment to a folder of your choice. There is a setting for saving attachment to a specific folder and another that allows you to chose which folder everytime you save an attachment.

  • My phone was suddenly closed and will not open(ıphone 6) what should I do?? I'am crying help mee

    30 munites ago when ı touch the phone, my phone was not turned on. I searched the internet but ı don't know WHAT SHOULD I DO. I'am crying CAN YOU HELP ME!!!!

    I started having the same problem after updating to IOS 8.3 on my IPhone 6.  Phone keeps shutting down and the only way to open again is to hold both the home and sleep button.  Being plugged into the charger makes no difference nor does the level of charge.  Has never happened until today after the update, just randomly shuts down while wearing it on my hip.  All apps seem to work fine while it is on.  I might need to return to IOS 8.2 if this continues to be an issue. Has not done it while in use yet.

  • Why is Firefox so slow following the last upgrade and doesn'y open some websites or display graphics in others?

    Pre=update Firefox was a faster and more reliable browser than IE but since this recent upgrade there are pages I visit regularly that are not loading at all. To check if there is an issue with a site I switched to IE and the page loaded immediately. Many sites I try to access with the updated version will not display graphics and since these are often online stores it makes the christmas shopping impossible with Firefox. At the moment IE functions on all these sites, it may not be my preferred browser but at least it works!

    Thanks to "itsme95" - I found the resolution to the problem was to completely uninstall Firefox, all add-ins and extensions, reboot and then re-install firefox from a download from the mozilla site. All the pages that would not load before now load quickly and correctly - so the issue was in the automated update. A lesson learned for me is to reject auto-updates and when ready download the files myself.

  • Pages froze while working on a document and doesn't respond anymore. What can I do to reopen it ?

    Pages froze while working on a document and doesn't open anymore. What can I do ?

    Is this in Pages 5?
    Sometimes it helps told press the Shift key when one tries to open Pages. It will also stop opening a lot of documents that isn't closed before quitting Pages.
