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

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.

  • Why is my iPad opening website links using the Google App not Safari?

    Why is my iPad opening website links using the Google App not Safari? Everything was fine until two days ago when it started opening them with Google App. I tried uninstalling Google but nothing has changed. It would not bother me at all but it takes Google a lifetime to open them where as Safari used to do it in a matter of seconds. I own an iPad Air, iOS 7.1.2.

    How is it opening a website with the Google App if you uninstalled it?
    Are you sure its the Google App, and not simply Safari opening in a Google search?
    What exactly is happening?
    Basically there is no way to change the default browser for opening links. 
    However, some apps like The Gmail App will open links within themselves or Chrome if it is installed and the option is enabled in the Gmail App settings.

    - 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.
    - Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
    - If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • How to hide a tab, or why does have to be so complicated?

    Hi
    I have a tabNavigator, and I am trying to hide some of the tabs.
    I have tried the obvioius
    visible="false" //this did not work
    includeInLayout="false" visible="false" //and this did not work and finally
    var secondTab = tabNavigator.getChildAt(1);
    secondTab.visible = false;
    secondTab.width = 0; // this hides the contents of the tab, but the tab is still visible.
    Why does it have to be so compliated, so unintuitive?

    deleting it is one way of hiding it
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/830977/whats-the-best-way-to-hide-a-tab-in-a-tabnavigat or
    the above makes use of BindingUtils which is an Actionscript strategy for binding. so you bind, say, a boolean variable or function return to the visible property

  • HT1222 Why does my IOS 7 update after downloading say" not available at this time try again later"  any ideas

    Why does my IOS7 update after downloading say " not available at this time try again later" any ideas?

    With everyone and their iDogs trying to update at the same time, things are gonna be a bit bumpy off the bat trying to update and/or activate.
    All anyone can really recommend is to keep trying or wait until a bit later, after the hubub has died down.

  • Why has the ipod classic crashed?

    I have a silver ipod classic. When i plugged it into my computer, to charge,it crashed displaying, "ok to disconnect" I tried to reset it and hold and unhold it however none of these methods worked. I've been on the Apple support site and followed the instructions but the Ipod still displays the same thing. I would be very appreciative if you couls help me.

    The iPod displaying "OK to Disconnect" suggests that it is in Disk Mode, which is a supported function of the iPod, not necessarily a "crash."
    I want to make sure the iPod reset has been attempted, per this explanation:
    Ensure the HOLD switch is OFF so that there is NO orange color showing beneath the switch. Then, press and hold the MENU and the SELECT (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds, until you see an Apple logo. When you see the Apple, let go of the buttons and the iPod will restart itself.
    A reset is all that should be required to get the iPod out of disk mode. If you are unsuccessful, you may want to attempt to restore the iPod in iTunes:

  • Why wont my iPod touch let me download a big app?

    I have 1.4 GB of space on my iPod. I keep trying to download a 618 MB app, however, it says I need more storage. Yes, I can download smaller apps.
    Why is this happening? What do I do to fix it?

    You need to delete some stuff from yur iPod to make more storage space available.  The iPOd requires over twice the file download size to install an app.

  • Why does each iOS update detract from podcast functionality?

    I have a complaint about what I see as progressivly degrading behavior and functionality of podcast functionality over time.
    When I got my first iPod Touch around 2008, podcast functionality was great.  It did exactly what I wanted.  I could make playlists, order them however I wanted, sync perfectly back and forth from my iPod Touch and iTunes on my Mac, and everything worked find.
    It seems as if every iOS software update since then has either broken something about the way Podcast functionality worked, or it has removed functionality.
    I'm primarily talking about how things work on my iPod Touch but the same complaint applies to my iPad (though I haven't used my iPad for playing podcasts recently).
    After the latest update a few days ago, the functionality is such that it is no longer useful to me.  This is a major *subtraction* from the usefulness and appeal of the device to me.  I have been thinking that at the end of my current phone contract I would upgrade to an iPhone, replacing both my current Android phone and 4th gen iPod Touch, but now I'm not so sure.  Maybe I will, but this change in functionality I describe below is making it hard for me to feel positive about it.
    Listening to news podcasts is a major (more than 50%) purpose of me having and using my iPod.  Breaking this is a serious problem.  From my point of view this a far worse problem than the Google Maps fiasco.
    Here is how I *used* to use it, and how I still *want* to use it, but cannot:
    I subscribe to various podcasts in iTunes.  Currently I'm getting about 8 or 10 podcasts from various news sources around the world.  (This works fine.)
    In iTunes, I put the podcasts into a "smart playlist" that includes all of the unplayed episodes of the podcasts, *in chronological order*, *ordered by release date* (*not* download date). (This works fine.)
    Sometimes I listen to the podcasts on my computer using iTunes. (This works fine.)
    I plug in my iPod Touch to sync with iTunes. (Looks like it works but no longer does what I expect or what seems reasonable to me.)
    I *want* to resume playing unplayed podcasts from exactly the same list that I was listening to on my computer, picking up from eactly where I left off. (This is completely broken.)
    When I return from being in my car or out jogging or the end of my workday at the office listening to my iPod, I want to plug my iPod back into my computer, sync up the list, and resume playing on my computer from the same list from where I left off on the iPod.  (This seems somewhat broken.)
    All of this used to work perfectly when I got my first iPod Touch back around 2008. (I don't recall the exact date but it was not long after the iPhone and iPod Touch were introduced.)  Almost every software update since then has either broken something about this, or explicitly removed some part of the functionality, making it more and more irritating to use over time.  I can't help but think "What the **** is wrong with Apple?"  There is so much stuff that the company does great, and it perplexes me how they can screw this up so badly, so continuously.
    Here is my perception of the changes in behavior over time:
    syncing back and forth between iTunes on my computer and the iPod Touch has grown increasingly buggy, with the software messing up more and more often in terms of both what stuff would be recognized as unplayed and also keeping track of the place where I left off.
    the ordering of the playlist used to match the order in iTunes (which is exactly what I want) but over time it diverged more and more (which I don't want).
    not long ago (I think around the time of the upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6), the podcast and music playlist features were made completely separate in the iPod touch -- but not in iTunes.  So in iTunes I have my perfectly functioning smart playlist but on my iPod Touch I have an empty playlist and the podcasts are played by a separate app.  At least there was the option to play "Unplayed Podcasts" (or some name like that) which was close enough.
    the latest update from a few days ago got rid of this ability to play the unplayed podcasts.
    As far as I am concerned this it totally unacceptable.  No, I am *not* going to stream over WiFi, because I'm not always in WiFi range, for example when I'm in my car.  And if I were to replace my iPod Touch with an iPhone, then also no, I am *not* going to stream everything over the air from the cloud because (a) I don't want to use up and overshoot my phone plan data allowance; (b) I don't want to have to pay extra to store stuff in the cloud; and (c) even if I did both of those things it still doesn't solve the problem of no longer being able to play from a playlist that includes podcasts from many sources.
    I'm really upset with Apple over this, and I see ho hope of any satisfactory outcome.

  • Why does updating IOS 7.0.2 put EVERYONES phone in recovery mode??

    Thousands of people loosing ALL content!! Factory restore should not be the default action. Users content is 50% or more the value of the product. Obviously backing up your content before is the right thing to do prior. People like my father do not activly use a comp nor have the knowedge to CONSTANTLY back up their info. This has happened with ALL models; my friends 4s 5 5c, my 5s, my fathers 4, extended family's 5, neighbors 4s....... Its getting to be rediculous. Can you imagin the hardship a 50+yo goes thourgh when someone/thing TAKES everything from them????? There has got to be a better way then putting faulty software out and making people go through recovery mode just to fix YOUR bugs! It is dificult to vouch for Apple with all the issues in software. Make note: The future is in the software.... FIX IT.

    Because that is the only way to completely remove the old operating system and replace it with a new one. If you have done things properly a backup should be made before the system restore occurs or you can make the backup by connecting to iTunes for the upgrade.
    If you do an over the air installation, then the operating system is installed in-place. The user content is not affected.
    All of this assumes you keep the device in proper working order, backup your stuff regularly using iTunes, and keep your device synched. it helps to read the manual.
    There is nothing wrong with the software that i've seen after upgrading two iPod Touches, an iPad, and iPhone. No problems at all. Now, I'm not everybody, but it would seem that if there were problems with the upgrade, then I would not have been able to complete all four without incident as have millions of other users.
    If you use a computer or any portable device, then it's time to become knowledgeable. Ignorance is hardly an excuse.

  • Why does the iOS update not extend to the iPhone 3G ? I would like to use iCloud on all my devices but can't on my iPhone.

    I have updated my lap top and my iPad to iOS but my iPhone won't update. I find this really frustrating.

    Sometimes that is a business decision, sometimes technology driven.  Operating systems and software get to a point where hardware is not capbable of using the software effectively so it is not supported.  This has happened a few times in the life of various Mac OS versions.
    It's frustrating but not much we individual users can really do about it.

  • My Ipod touch (4th Generation) can't download apps because it says it requires ios 7.0. What do I do?

    I have tried to download multiple apps but a message keeps popping up to say that it requires iOS 7.0. I have an Ipod touch (4th Generation) by the way, and I have gone to the software update to find that it says 'iOS 6.1.6, your software is up to date'. I have no idea what to do. Thanks

    I tried that but I realized that the apps weren't installed yet, so I installed the apps but the same message keeps popping up, saying that it need an iOS 7.0 to be able to install. What's really is confusing is that my friend also has and Ipod Touch (4th Generation) and that problem never occurred to her, and we had the same iOS. The apps that I a trying to install are Phonto and Gmail, and on their description boxes it states that they are both compatible with iOS 7.0 and later. It has me really confused and I'm sorry that you have to put up with me. I really appreciate your help! Thanks!
