The Music app on my ipod touch will not open?

The Music app on my ipod touch will not open, it loads but the sceen is always blank and then closes the music app and goes back to my list of apps.. what do i do? any ideas?

I have the same problem since a couple days ago, I will try to refrain from swearing or slagging on Apple, got a few questions for you, Gerbrandt, or anyone else who's had this problem and worked around it by means of a 3rd party app:
1-Since using panamp have you used your ipod in any docks successfully? (ex: I have a JVC car deck, a Klipsch dock and the Yamaha dock for my home theatre, all will be worthless if I can't resurrect my iPod as a music player)
2-Has using panamp done anything to help the original Apple music app to work or has it stayed dead?
3-Do you have any smart playlists? Like others with the 64GB model I have many many songs (that's the WHOLE point of the large capacity iPod, isn't it?) and I found that the more smart playlists I had the worse the apple music app behaved back when it was still working.
I'll check out panamp tonight, hopefully that will stop me from curb-stomping my iPod.
Anyone know whether an Apple "genius" has access to any sort of debugging facilities that would make it worth visiting the store for help on this matter? (ex: if they have root access to check for corrupt song database, or debug logs of some sort, or can do any direct manipulation of commands over the dock connector).
It sure would be nice to know why this happens, I have about 14,000 songs locked in iTunes now and many hours of time invested in ripping my CD collection but I don't want to buy a replacement iPod only to have this happen to it too. It's annoying enough the 4 hours it takes to resynch after a system restore (which in the end did nothing to resolve the original issue).

My iTunes app on my iPod touch will not open

So, for some odd reason, my iTunes app on my brand new I pod touch will not open.. I just bought an iTunes card and would like to use it, but iTunes is not cooperating.. Any suggestions on how to fix this????

Reset the iPod. No data will be deleted. (Press and hold both the home and the power button till the iPod restarts)
Restore the iPod. (Restore it to Factory Settings --> Make a backup first, all data will be deleted)

The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch. How do I get it to begin working? It just stopped today.

The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch. How do I get it to begin working? It just stopped today.
Does anyone know what I can do? I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing. The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be 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.

The mail app on my Mac laptop will not open. This began happening after an upgrade during which "Security UPdate 2012-004" was installed. My mail app has a new icon, and I think i trashed the old program (trying to follow directions). Suggest a fix?

When I try to play a song with the music app on my iPod Touch, some songs freeze at the beginning and my iPod touch becomes unresponsive to anything for up to twenty seconds. Help?

Hi all I'm new here.
My issue goes something like this. When I use the standard music app to play some of my music (MOST from Beatport) on about half of the songs, my iPod will freeze and become unresponsive for up to a half minute. After that, it normally brings me back to the playlist song selection that I was looking at previously. I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation that is running iOS 6.1.2. I have only three playlists, but all of the three have over 500+ unique songs on them. (I normally don't keep duplicates of songs on my iPod) I started to have this problem when I upated my old iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6.0.0. Ever since I got that update, half of my songs have not and will not play.
I have tried numerous times to reset my iPod (4th and 5th) and I even re-installed everything without using a backup.
Any help as to what will fix my problem?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

The screen is stuck in landscape in the music app on my ipod touch

The screen on my daughter's iPod touch is stuck in the landscape position. When we turn it to the portrait position, it stays as landscape. However, the screen orientation for the other apps works just fine. Does anyone know how I fix this?

Try resetting the iPod. It curs many problems and nothing is lost.

I recently updated to Itunes 12.0.1. Since then, the Music tab under my Ipod Touch does not give me the option to automatically use ITunes Match to sync all my music. Now my Ipod memory is full, which is creating a problem. How do I fix this?

I recently updated to Itunes 12.0.1. Now, when I plug in my Ipod and go to the Music section, the Itunes Match option is unavailable. Which means that my music is taking up too much memory on my Ipod Touch. How do I re-enable the IMatch option so that my music will automatically be in the cloud?

Hello pib1617,
iTunes Match can be enabled on your iPod Touch via Settings -> iTunes & App Store.
Turn on iTunes Match. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Sign in if you haven’t already.

Now we are unable to unlock the iPod or enter a password. Siri just responds indicting what the button is. We are even unable to power off. When the button is selected, Siri again just explains what the button is. We have tried to reset, but we are unable. What has happened?? Suggestions to fix this?

When using the "Books" app on my ipod touch, if I open one of my books there is no way to return to the library without stopping and restarting the app. What am I doing wrong?

Once I open a book in my library there is no option to close it and return to the library. I must leave the app, stop the app and then restart it. How do I exit an opened book to return to my library without having to exit, stop, and restart the app?

Assuming you are talking about "iBooks", then just
tap the center of the screen
and you should see a "Library" in the upper left corner of the screen.
tap the center of the screen again,
and you should return to full screen mode.
if this is NOT iBooks, then I do not know what controls that app

The FaceTime app on my iPod touch refuses to go any further than the email verification part of the setup process. It just goes back to the sign in screen every time. How can I fix this?

My built in FaceTime app on my iPod touch will not proceed from the email verification step of the setup process. I have tried going into settings like app support showed but when I click FaceTime it just shows the sign in screen just like before and does the same thing. Please help me to fix this.
