My Ipod randomley goes back to the homepage when I use Apps.

I have an 8G Ipod touch and I'm starting to get annoyed because sometimes when I use an app My Ipod goes back to the homepage even though I didn't touch the homepage button.My battery was near full and I had a decent Internet connection and it is really getting on my nerves so what should I do?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.

  • Keeps going back to the finder when in Firefox and other applications

    My finder keeps on going back to it when I am in other applications. The applications keep running, but are gray out and I have to click back on the page somewhere to get the application to the front again. I recently updated all my programs and applications such as itunes, etc. Please help, this is driving me crazy! I had to bring back the firefox twice just typing this little bit.

    Ok, I'm pulling this one out of memory, but if you go into your system preferences, there should be one in there for Stuffit, or something of that nature. You can turn it off in there. After you've turned off the Stuffit engine, restart your computer. That should clear up your problem.

  • Safari goes back to home screen when opened using Safari icon

    I dropped my iphone Saturday, fortunately I had it in my Otterbox case which was in its holster. Thank God there was no physical damage to the phone. However, now I notice that every time I want to use Safari using the Safari icon on the home screen, it doesn't respond and kicks me back to the home screen after a few seconds. I reset the iphone first, deleted cookies, history and cache finally did a restore and still kicks me back to the home screen. If I click one of bookmarks I have on my home screen it works fine, it's unresponsive basically when it opens on a blank page. Any help will be deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    The apps (mail and Safari) are crashing for some reason. I would start with this.
    Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar where all of your recent apps will appear. Hold down on the mail app icon until it wiggles - along with the rest of the icons - and then tap the minus sign in the corner of the icon to cloase the app. Close Safai the same way and continue to close all of the apps in the task bar. Tap the screen above the task bar to return to the home screen.
    Now restart your iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the  red slider bar appears and slide to shut off. To power up, hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and then let go of the button. Try Mail and Safari again to see if that helped.
    If that doesn't work - reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. After the iPad has started up, try the apps again.
    One last thing you may try for Safari is this ... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Then restart the iPad like I explained above and try Safari again.

  • I had a group chat going with my friends on my ipod touch,but while I was not on it, they sent about 100 or so messages.Whenever I click on the messages button, it kind of freezes on a white screen, then goes back to the homepage. HELP!

    Please help!! What is happening and how do I stop it???

    If resetting does not work, put it in recovery mode and restore it, explained in this article:

  • Windows 7. Facebook keeps reloading every 20 seconds, goes back to my homepage when on anything other than homepage. Then, homepage keeps reloading.

    On facebook, only have 20 seconds 2 write or view anything. Then reverts 2 my home page when on anything else. And when on homepage, it refreshes. I uninstalled firefox & reinstalled, still no go. Ongoing 4 days now.Reinstalled facebook 2. Windows 7. Also reinstalled FF. Please help. This is annoying as hell. Thanks so much.

    Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
    My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
    It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
    It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
    Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
    Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
    Any help would be much appreciated!!

  • HT1430 iPad 1 consistently goes back to the menu when in the middle of an App.  Any fixes?

    That only works for a short time.  Anything I can try?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Note:
    Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use..

  • When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

    When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

    thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

    This has worked for some others.
    - 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 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.

  • Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store

    Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
    I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
    Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.

    Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.
