Two helpful tips- apps crashing & daunting backup times

Question

*Apps crashing on the go after your sync?*
A quick fix for your apps crashing on your phone is to delete them (you can do this by getting into rearrange mode [the jiggling] and tapping "x", say yes to delete). After deleting go to the app store, re-download. It'll ask you if you want to install even though you already did so, of course you do! Fixed.
*Intimidating wait times for backup, just want to put some tunes on?*
*(assumes no auto-sync, and option selected in Music- sync only these playlists)*
Pay attention carefully: After you have added whatever you want to sync to your regular iPhone playlist. Create a separate playlist with just a song or use one of your "on the go playlists" if you don't really use them. Now check or uncheck the aforementioned and you will see "Apply" instead of "Sync" being an option. Click apply and it will only update your songs, no "Backup" required.

Answer 1

Try restoring to factory settings/new iPod and then redownloading (not sync from your iTunes library) only the one problem app.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
