Updated to 1.2.1 and now ipod crashes
Last night I finally gave in to the relentless prompting from itunes (7.1.1) to update the software on my ipod (to version 1.2.1). Boy, was that a mistake.
My ipod now no longer works. If crashes within 5 seconds or so of booting up. I have tried the 5Rs but with no success. Is there a way of doing a complete reinstall of the ipod software, either with version 1.2.1 or preferably with an earlier and more stable version?
It appears to be software problem as itunes can sync with the ipod despite the screen being frozen and I can hear plenty of hard disc activity.
I have a long plane flight at the end of the week, and I am not sure I can survive without my ipod!!!!
I should know better than to update for the sake of it, but there is no use in crying over spilt milk. Any help is much appreciated.

I have now resolved this problem. Hopefully my explanation may be of use to others. . .
First step is to uninstall itunes 7. This allows you to do an old fashioned software update using an older ipod updater.
Next step is to format your ipod. I mounted it as a disk by forcing it into disk mode (you can find instructions on how to do this quite easily). I then took the precaution of changing the drive letter to something further up the alphabet and finally reformatted. I didn't use the quick format option and the formatting took a couple of hours to complete. Once done I safely removed my ipod from my PC.
I then downloaded the last old style ipod updater (a google search will turn this up for you), and ran the installer. Once installed I restarted my PC.
Almost there. . . I forced my ipod into disk mode again and attached it to my PC. I then ran the ipod updater and as if by magic the hellish 1.2.1 firmware was replaced by 1.1.2 and eveything is working again. Of course I then had to reinstall itunes 7 and resync my music.

Updated to itunes 10.5, and now it crashes on launch.
I just updated my itunes software to 10.5, and now it crashes immediatly after launch. I tried re-installing it, with no change. Here is some info from the crash report:

Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-threadI've got it working now. I followed Apple's instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to completely remove all components of itunes in order. I rebooted after uninstalling and installing even though it doesn't prompt you but i don't know if this made any difference.
When you first connect your device it takes a minute to reinstall the driver software and now it's working. I'm downloading iOS 5 right now.
Good luck!
P.S. After i upgraded originally i disconnected my device early and the driver install failed, i think this may have been my problem first time round despite trying to uninstall and install the driver after. -
Updated iOS 6.1.3 and now gmail crashes
Updated iOS 6.1.3 this morning and now gmail will not work. Deleted gmail acct and pop works, but when tried to reinstall gmail acct the setup app crashes. Anyone know anything or has an update? Hello Apple!?!
It happenned the same to me and I have and iPhone 4S. I tried all the suggestions many people suggested and nothing changed. The only thing missed to make it was restore the iphone with the hope I had the same iPhone I bought (I mean with the original iOS).
However for my surprise I got the iPhone I bought but with iOS 6.1.3!!!!!!!!! OMG I couldn't believe it, but when i set up my GMail e-mail accounts all was fine, everything ran OK.
The only bad thing about this was the time I spent making backups of my pictures, files associated with some apps, doing "print screen" to each screen of my apps and the worst was restoring all these pictures, files and the apps in the same order in my restoring iPhone..... in total 6 hours........ dissapointing but I solved the problem.
I hope this solution helps to all of you. -

Thanks for the question and detailed information. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 5s in relation to battery life. The following website outlines some great tips for maximizing battery performance:
Apple - Batteries - Maximizing Performance

I also understand that you are interested in performing a recovery mode restore. You can find information regarding recovery mode here:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Please keep in mind that restoring your backup may cause the issue to be restored as well. For the best isolation steps, you may wish to restore as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?
I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue. -
WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.
Try:
- Reset the iPod. 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.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s.. I have tried EVERYTHING. I completely uninstalled & reinstalled my itunes 2 times. Everything is completely up to date, and when I plug my iPhone into the computer, it makes the normal beep sound, and charges, but will not sync or show on iTunes so that I can sync anything..
Hey ksooter,
I know you have said you have tried everything but have you tried out some of the troubleshooting in the article below? For instance, have you checked the Apple Mobile Device support is installed properly and if the Apple Mobile Device is installed? Take a look at the article below to double check some of the things you have done to see if you can get your iPhone to show back up.

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I updated to 7.0.6 and now a lot of my music is missing. It says it's on the cloud. Anyone else experiencing this?
If you updated via iTunes on the computer if synced media like apps and music were not in the iTunes library they they will not be on the iPod after the update.
If yo updated from iOS 6, iOS added the SHOW ALL feature ins Settings>iTunes and App Store. When on, iTunes purchases not on the iPod will be show in the Music app with a cloud icon by them indicating that they are not on the iPod and just tap the cloud icon to download them to the iPod.
