Since updated to iOS 5, iPod touch works a bit slow, built-in apps crash and so on...
I had my iPod touch 4th generation 32GB for almost a year, and since I've updated it's software to iOS 5, apps started to crash more often, mostly Settings, Messages, Photos and Safari (I uses these apps the most). Also, the iPod started to work slowlier — when I unlock it and the music app is open it takes serval seconds until it really unlocks, an I'm typing right now the iPod "freezes" for two seconds about every minute — I keep typing and all the letters I typed appear at once, after I quit a heavy app the cool "apple style" homescreen effects aren't smooth, the Notification Center sometimes opens only after about two seconds, and three or four times since the software update the whole iPod crashed and reseted itself, mostly under some pressure (not physical). I turn the iPod off and on every two-three weeks, and I have about 10GB of free space. What should I do? wait for the next software update? Restore it? Format it? Replace it?
Thanks for helping!
- The slowness from the lock-screen is normal.
For the other problems I would try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Since update to iOS 7 on my iPad 2 I have had nothing but crashes and wonkiness. What can I do?
Initially there were many frozen screens. Yesterday that stopped, but the crashes are increasing. It goes to the black screen with the Apple, and can happen as often as a couple of times in a minute. I am going crazy!
(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Since updating iTunes my new iPod touch 5th generation wont show up.
I recently updated iTunes on Friday. But now that I try to sync my iPod touch 5th generation it is not showing up in iTunes. The iPod asks if I trust this computer and I click yes but nothing happens. What should I do?
In case you haven't found this yet... I managed to fix the problem with my iPhones by updating the USB device driver. The instructions are in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822553?tstart=0
or you can follow this knowlege base article on the Apple site:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
(for me the problem required me following the instructions in the "If only Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod appears" section, but it may be different in your case)
Maybe Apple updated the USB drivers in this updated version of iTunes? I'm not sure why the installer failed to install these drivers automatically (maybe that isn't possible??). Maybe this is just a Windows problem and has nothing to do with Apple? Who knows... -
After updating to iOS 7, iPod touch 5th gen randomly partially blue screened and then restarted.
I was using my iPod touch 5th generation to listen to a podcast through the podcast app and searching the ebay app for some stuff and three quarters of the screen turned blue and part of the top of the blue part showed alternating colours of between what was on the screen and blue. Then my iPod restarted (and took a long time at that) and then it was just as if my iPod had restarted. Please help. This is first and only time that this has happened and nothing else was open on my iPod.
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings -
Ever since I updated this last week I have not been able to play purchased videos. It just says "null" and unknown video next to my videos. I've tried reloading from my computer as well as downloading them again via wifi and have had no luck. Any suggestions??
I have the same problem too.

When I go to settings, then to app store my apple id is grey and i can not click on it to sign out of old apple id.
Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and unset the Restrictions that prevents changing accounts.
If you forgot the Restrictions Passcode:
Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3:

Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.
I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az -
My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.
Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem. -
