Safai crashing & restarting iPod Touch (third generation, 32GB)

I've heard some stories of Safari crashing and jumping back to the home screen on iPhones and iPod Touchs. My problem is Safari tends to crash multiple times a day and then automatically restarts the device after the browser has crashed. How common is this issue and Is this happening to anyone else with a third generation iPod Touch or even first and second generations? Constant Safari crashes and device restarts is making me think my device is defective and has gotten me to think I should exchange it.

before you exchange it, have you tried the troubleshooting steps? they will fix the majority of problems.

  • My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow and when ever I get on a app it will shut it down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do

    My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow.When ever my iPod is being slow and I get on an app the app will shut down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do! Could you tell me how I can power down my iPod or how I can fix the slowness and the shutting down of the apps.

    - 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, reset the iPod
    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
      Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    Then you can try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?

    does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?  Am going to travel in Europe and want to know if I need to use a convertor with it or if it has the international power supply and I can get by with the appropriate plug adapter.

    They are charged via your computer's USB port. As long as you have a USB charger it will work with the Touch.

  • I have just updated my ipod touch (third generation) and it has taken off safari, it has just dissapeared, what do i do

    I have just updated my ipod touch (third generation) and it has taken off safari, it has just dissapeared, what do i do

    Could be two things:
    - It is on a screen and you can't find it.  Try using the Spotlight search feature and search for Safari.
    - Somehow the restriction for Safari got turned on.  If on Safari is hidden and will not appear on the iPod even via search.  Go to Settings>General>Restrictions.
    - Also try resetting your iPod?
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My Ipod touch 5th generation 32gb had been stolen

    My Ipod touch 5th generation 32gb had been stolen, how do I report to apple so they can not use it again. Thank you for all, Javier Rodriguez Gauxax.

    You do not report it to Apple at all.
    Like any manufacturer, they can do nothing at all.
    Report it to the police and change your passwords.

  • IPod Touch 5th Generation 32GB UPC Number

    Hello,
    I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation 32GB that I bought from my nephew. I am now in the process of listing it on eBay but I seem to have a problem. The UPC number on the box is not the same as other iPods in this class. Looks like the normal UPC is 885909609666. Now the UPC on my iPod case is 885909609833. As you can see the last 3 digits are different. I have searched the Internet and this UPC number is not found.
    Do I have myself a fake iPod? Oh, also there is a circle with BC inside of it shown just below the UPC number.
    Any information you might have will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Steve

    I doubt counterfeit if it work and looks like original. Maybe stolen though.

  • Why does my Ipod touch 5th generation 32GB   have problems syncing with the latest version of itunes?

    lately My ipod touch, 5th generastion 32gb has difficulty whenever i try to sync it with tht latest version of iTunes. When i go to sync it immediately claims that over 10gb has dissipated into this "Other" section. to fix that i have to do a factory reset, however after the reset has finished and while i am trying to re-sync my music on to my device the sync gets stopped toward the end saying "Waiting for changes to be applied" for hours on end. even then it does not sync. So currently i am unable to use the ipod tough for what it was built as in the first place, a music player. currently i am ratherdissapointed and i would like to find some answers to this problem because this problem is extremely irritating and it has kept me from using the ipod for what i mainly use it for in the first place, music. Ever scince the latest version of iTunes, where the icon became red, i have bee having this major problem. I suggest you work to find an answer to this Problem and fix it ASAP so i can get back to enjoying my portable music player.

  • IPod Touch Third Generation 8GB Firmware Question

    What specific firmware file does this certain model have. I've had problems with it and when I try to restore it using shift+click and choose the iPod3,13.1.3_7E18Restore file which I used for my brother's Third Geberation 32GB it says not compatible or something like that. Why is that?

    I have the same problem. I have accidently upgrade my 8gb(MC) 3rd gen Ipod touch to Ipod2.1 4.0 firmware. So, how can i get back to Ipod3.1 4.0? I hv try restore to the corrct firmware but it said the same thing as above. Help?

  • How much does it cost ; in the UK, to fix the LCD on an iPod Touch 4th generation 32gb.

    Basically if it is close to the price of a new one then I will just a new one. But because I'm short of money will it be cheap to repair it, or shall I might as well buy a new one. I also need an iPod Touch before February when I go to Italy. I also need to know if apple will fix it since my warranty ran out last week.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. Scroll to find your country. It is about 1/2 the price of a new one.
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    A third-party place maybe be less expensive. Google for: ipod touch screen repair.

  • I just took over an iPod Touch 3rd. generation, 32GB and when I place it in my Philips docking station to play music, I get a message that " this equipment does not support charging". My question is: Is this an iPod sw or hw issue or is it the dock?

    The Philips device is a DCM5090/10 Tower and it should support charging iPod Touch. Any suggestions??

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Make sure the iPod is fully seated in the dock
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Does Phillips say it is compatible with your model iPod and it iOS. Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility
    - Sometimes this works
    - 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:

  • IPod Touch 3rd Generation 32GB Brand New drains with Wifi

    I recently purchased an iPod Touch 32 GB 3rd Gen and started using it 2 days ago. Everything about my iPod is awesome except for Wifi. If I connect to wifi and use Facebook or Safari (or any internet app), my battery life gets cut short to about 2 hours. This is without music playing, and brightness set at a low level. My mail is set to fetch every hour, and there's no push. My girlfriend has an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd Gen for a year, and she doesn't have this problem. Her battery barely goes down while using wifi+facebook. I find this extremely disturbing. I know that her iPod is supposed to have 6 extra hours of music, but I didn't think that would cause such a difference. Does anyone have this problem? If so, could y'all please help me? I love my iPod Touch, but I hate the Wifi problem. Thanks in advance.

    Did you try to delete your mail account and set it up again? There have been posts about the mail app getting stuck connecting to the mail server over and over again when set to fetch.

    It is not locked. Not all features are available on all ipod touch models.
