Why does my iPod exit apps by itself and go to the Home Screen?
I have a black 4th generation iPod Touch with iOS 5.0.1. I haven't dropped it, spilled liquids on it, etc. I've never jailbroken it. Sometimes when I am running an app, the iPod exits the app and goes to the Home Screen by itself, without me pressing the Home Button. Anyone know why this is and how I can fix the problem?
Try the standard fixes:
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- 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 is my ipod touch 3g turning on but not displaying the home screen?
my ipod has worked without an issue for 3 years, however yesterday it froze in an app and then displayed the apple icon and then the display turned off. Since then my ipod has been repeatedly attempting to boot up unsucessfully; displaying the apple logo but never going to the home screen. the only way to stop this is to reset it and leave the ipod switched off. Help would be much appreciated

App closes itself and return to the main screen
While I was playing apps, iphone just started getting wierd i.e. freezing and then automatically return to the main screen (the screen with many apps on like desktop of computer). Anyone experience this problem and how can I resolve the problem please?
I am having the same problem with several apps and a reset does not help. I downloaded ReaddleDocs, DirecTV, Bloomberg and a couple of games that all worked the first time I tried them but now open to their welcome screen for about 2 seconds and then go back to the iPhone home screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the apps, started and restarted the iPhone and reset the iPhone but they still do not work. What is going on and what should I do?

Why does my ipod only show an apple and wont start up
Why does my Ipod only show an apple and wont do anything else> And holding down the two buttons has done nothing!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
When I open an app, it exits out of the app and returns to the home screen.
When I open up apps, it exits out and returns to the home screen.
That's not true. In most cases this is a memory issue and in some cases simply a bug. Most often it can be corrected by either resetting the iPad or closing all other apps and restarting the app in question.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. -
Everytime I open anything on my Iphone, it exits whatever I have opened up and returns to the home screen. I have deleted most all of my apps thinking this would solve it. It hasnt solve anything and continues to do the same thing. I have also have hit the top button and home key at the same time to reset things. nothing has worked. Is there a app I can download to take care of this problem, or can I take it to my local carrier and they can fix whatever may be going on???
Try restoring your iphone.
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore. -
My iphone 5 does not turn on anymore. when i plug the charger in the apple icon turns on and off but the home screen never shows up.what do i do to fix it? how can i get my info back?
from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

my new ipod nano only shows "pedometer" and "history" on the fitness screen. How do i find the run icon so i can measure distance when i work out?
Try to hook up your nano to your computer and choose the dialog box to update your software. The current version is 1.2 which allows distance to be calculated once you input your height (and weight).

My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen will not come on and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. It glows white background light then goes dark for the entire time I am using it. Any suggestions?
I had the same problem. Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely. Push until they click in place. It solved the problem. The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep. Hope this helps.
