Why do my iPod 4 apps crash?

My iPod 4 apps crash all the time. Including music! The coverflow crashes my music. And when I try to start most of my apps I get taken back to the homescreen shortly after. I've double-clicked the home button and stopped all of the apps from running there. I've also rebooted it several times. Nothing seems to work.

How full is the unit? You need free space for memory to work efficiently. Have you tried restoring it?

IPod app crashes after 3.1 update

I just updated to 3.1 and now the iPod app crashes whenever I try to make a Genius playlist. I do this every day so understandably I would like a solution. In the log, it points to low memory as the cause. I don't have much stuff running, I have Wi-Fi turned off even. Please assist me. Thanks in advance.

I turned off Genius by going to the Store menu and selecting Turn Off Genius. This deleted my genius database. I resynced my phone and that turned off Genius on the phone as well. Trying to create a genius playlist from the phone tells me to turn on Genius in itunes and sync. I turned Genius back on in iTunes and created a new genius database and resynced my phone. I also synced one of the new Genius Mixes to my phone.
I was able to select and play the Genius Mix or any of the other saved Genius playlists without issue. Playing a song and selecting the Genius icon in the player or selecting a song from the Genius playlist section in th iPod app crash the app.
However, I was able to create a new genius playlist when I selected a song that synced over as part of the Genius Mix. Odd.

Why does my pages app crash when I try to email a document?

Why does my pages app crash when I try to email a document?

Check for an update. Also if you're on 3G, try to doing it over WiFi to see if it works better because sometimes the network just can't handle it so the app crashes to protect itself.

IPad 1 ipod app crashes everytime opened on 4.3

I've had a huge problem with lag and my ipod app crashing on my iPad 1 ever since i upgraded to 4.3 HELP!! All my apps are up to date...i've tried power cycling it. Its just a regular old original iPad 1 16gb wifi model.

Try a System Reset:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

IOS7: iPod app crashes and songs disappear!

It happened first as soon as I updated to iOS7. The iPod app crashed, and then I had no songs left, everything just went away.
I downloaded it back from iTunes Match, and a few days later it just happened again! All my songs were just wiped out after a crash of the iPod app!
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using an iPhone 4 32GB.
Thanks.

Pleae - does anyone have any input?

What happened to the youtube app and why does my ipod keep crashing?

I updated my ipod touch 4g to iOS 6.0 and what happened to the youtube app? And why does my ipod keep on crashing when ever I go to the app store? Now i can never buy anything!!! or watch youtube videos and I'm always on youtube!!!!!!!!

As has been very well publicized in the news and all over the internet and forums, youtube is not part of ios 6. Google it.
You can get the app from the app store if you like.
Have you tried the basics from the manual to stop the crashing?
Restart, reset, restore.

Why does my iPod 4gen crash in A number of apps including safari. It does have iOS 5

My iPod touch 4ge, some apps crash and send me to the home screen all the time. It seems to be the same app or a different app each time, safari too. It is also non responsive at times mostly when I unlock it or change apps. It takes a few seconds to respond.

Some Users have Reported that a Restore as New has helped Resolve issues...
Backup and Set Up as New Device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Try this First...
Turn the iPod Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPod on.

IPod app crashes when I try to play a song

But it will play if I select the song by album, artist or playlist first. But everytime I try to select an individual song from the song menu, it crashes and spits me back out to the home screen. It also crashes when I try to select the "more" menu from inside the iPod app.
Just happened this morning. Was playing music fine last night. No new updates installed. I just turned off my iPhone and left it plugged in to my computer over night.
Tried restarting the iPhone (power off and back on), tried resetting the iPhone (power and home screen for 10 secs), and tried force-quitting the iPod app and reopening but I still have the same issue.
At my work computer, so I can't try resynching until I get home. Any other suggestions/fixes?

More details:
App also crashes when I try to select a genius playlist (though I never use this feature, so not sure if that's new). But I can create on-the-go playlists and play all songs off the iPhone that way if I wanted to.
When I launch the iPod app, it shows the "songs" selection screen by default, even though at the bottom, the "albums" tab is selected.
When I reclick "albums" it changes the screen to sort by album. If I had clicked the "songs" apon launching the iPod app, the screen wouldn't change, but the tab would now move over to highlight "songs".
Hoping it's just a synch mixup but still searching for a solution...

Why are several Apple apps crashing after update to IOS5? Safari, Appstore and iBooks all crash Frequently :-(

Sine I updated to IOS 5.0.1 my iPad(version 1) crashes quite often.
Especially when using Safari, Ibooks and Appstore.
It is quite frustrating and I have feeling that there are memory leaks.
Would be good to know if Apple are working on these problems.

Well, I have an iPad 2 3G 32GB end I can say ios 5 is PERFECT, really never seen an appstore app crashing!(200 apps + games installed), the only system app crashing sometimes is Safari, very rarely.
Os works very fast, notification center is awsome, the battery is good.
Its perfect!
iOS 5 on the iPad 1 of ipad different story, AppStore apps crashing all the time, settings apps crashing, reminders crashing. bad Battery 3-4 h! VERY slow.Rubbish!
I guess what I'm trying to say is, the old ipad its slow end crashes, and so, if you want better, you upgrade.

Why does my iPod app keep starting over from the beginning??

I have noticed lately that my iPod app seems to start over and play ALL songs on my phone from the beginning nearly every time I plug my phone into my car stereo.
I plug my phone into my car stereo and listen every day on my work commute. As such, it's very important that the music stay on the same position between the times when I'm in my car. For the most part it's been fine, even on 4.0.1, unless I rebooted the phone or did a spring board respring, or otherwise killed the iPod app from the multitask app list.
However this past week, it's been starting over from the beginning (I was playing songs from a playlist and it starts over from the beginning of ALL songs) nearly every single time I connect it to my car stereo. I have not been listening to the music between times in the car, nor have I even opened the iPod app or killed the process from the multitask bar.
This is absolutely maddening. No changes have been made to the phone in the past couple of months, other than a few App Store app updates here and there. This just started really being a problem in the past week. What could be causing this?

Dont have that problem but i have two tips:
1 Other ipod/iphone apps: they are often the problem, i had an alarm clock and that blocked the whole ipod app, so check if other apps dont use songs to wake up or anything else..
2 try to leave the ipod app trough the multitasking instead of pressing the home button?

Why does the preferences-app crash when I try to add a CalDAV-account?

Hey all,
I recently set up a calendarserver on my debian-machine. After that, I set up my account in iCal on my MacBook. Everything works, so my server does.
Now, if I try to add a CalDAV-account on my iPhone (preferences-app -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Add account -> Other -> Add CalDAV-Account) the preferences-app crashes and nothing was added.
Any suggestions how to solve this issue?
My iPhone 3GS runs with iOS version 4.3.3 (8J2).

Why do the facebook apps crashes when i need to go to my profile page

each time I need to go to my profile page the app crashes out. then what I do is to log out and log in again.

Because the app is buggy.
If this is the only app you are having issues with and it occurs everytime you do a specific action in the app, report it to the app developer.

Why does my iPod keep crashing and get stuck on the apple screen?

My iPod has crashed and gotten stuck on the apple screen multiple times now, I think three or four times. I take really good care of it and charge it alot. It's a generation 5 32 gig, but I have no idea how to fix it! I really want to save my pictures and contacts and whatnot so it is really annoying when it happens!!! Any help would be considered! Thankyou for any input!

Try:
- 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:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why does the Message App Crash after I "Load Earlier Messages" X amount of Times on some Conversations (iPhone 5S; iOS 7.1)

On some conversations, after hitting "Load Earlier Messages" so many times, my Message App crashes...
Are others experiencing this?
Is this a known bug?
Is there a fix for this?
Is there a way to avoid this or a workaround?
I can't see any corelation between conversations that crash and don't crash, it's almost random - as if some conversations were eventually trying to load a corrupted part of a conversation file and crash while others do not.
Please help! I need to look something up from a few older conversations dating back to June of 2012 and some of the conversations crash the app before I get there...
Thank you!

No one else is experiencing this issue?!?
