Why is my iPod so slow since ios5

Why is my iPod so slow after I updated to ios5.

first turn off iCloud, as much as we all love it, it makes out devices really slow and it tends to make the home screen freeze after unlocking at times. next you want to limit the things in both spotlight, and the apps in your notification center. turning off location services is also a good way to cut down on memory usage and so is removing the weather and stock widget for the notification center.
these things will speed up your device, but the most important to remove out of all of these is iCloud, the others are just more suggestions(:
also remove unwanted apps running in the background by double tapping the button, holding on an app until it goes into toggle mode, and click the red minus button to stop it from taking up memory in the background...
this will 100% speed up your device and get rid of unwanted bugs/glitches(:

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    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.
    - 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 MacBook really slow since uploading Yosemite

    Why is my MacBook really slow since installing Yosemite?

    If you have less than 4 GB of memory (not 8 GB) as shown in the About This Mac window, Yosemite won't perform well. Otherwise, see below.
    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.

  • Why does my ipod run slow

    Hello people
    I was wondering
    Why does my ipod 4g run slow if it has enough space available?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

  • Why is my iphone 3g slower since software upgrade...

    I know other people who have complained about the same thing that the 3g is slower since the software upgrade a few months back. Why? Everything on the phone is a tad slower since the upgrade. Weren't upgrades designed to improve the performance, not decrease it?

    are you up to date with the siftware?
    do you have a lot of memory left?
    have you tried a hard reset? a reset network settings? a restore?
    all can be done to try to resolve the issue, try those first before giving up

  • Why is my iPod running slow, uses nearly 600MB of space that I'm not using, and have short battery life?

    I have owned an iPod touch for about a month now and I having some problems with it. On occasion, my iPod is running very slowly, even when I keep my multitasking bar empty, the native apps such as the App Store, Music, Videos, etc. lag a lot whenever i try to access content. This was not the case for me when I was running iOS 4, in which my iPod ran extremely fast and had great battery life. I most of the time keep my wireless turned off (to be specific, i turn on airplane mode approx 3/4 of the time) along with my brightness turned all the way down. Any suggestions?
    I also have another concern with my storage space. I have an 8GB 4th Generation, and whenever I plug it into iTunes, I notice nearly 700MB of space that I am not using on my iPod, I have gone through all of the data and calculated that the 700MB of space that iTunes classifies as "other", i am not using this storage space. Is there anything that I can do about this or do I have to erase everything and restore to get rid of this?
    Thank you for taking the time to read my question, and if you can, please answer.
    Thanks.

    - iOS 5 does slow the iPOd.  Periodically powering off and then back on helps since it free up memory that apps do ot release. The iPod only has 256 MB of memeor and low memory slows the iPod.
    - iOS 5 also increases battery drain. I leave mine in airplane mode when not using wifi or BT. Also see:
    iPod: How to extend battery life
    - An other of about 1/2 GB is normal and expected.  to get it down you need to restore your iPod.  Sometimes restoring from backup works but sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required.

  • Why is my iPod so slow?

    I have a little bit over 17g left yet my iPod is still slow. Why?
    Sometimes it's so laggy when I'm on the Google Chrome or Twitter app, especially Facebook app. I even deleted all of my games and I ended up with one game, which sometimes so lag and crash down.
    It doesn't make sense for me, like I have so many space left in my iPod and my connection with wi-fi is good and I always turn off all the apps that I don't use and sometimes turn off my iPod during my sleep. Still why is it still slow? Any suggestions to why is it slow and how to fix this problem?
    I do have an iPod touch 4th generation iOS 6.1.3 and was bought a year and a month ago.

  • Why is my computer running slow since upgrading to os x yosemite?

    I upgraded my MacBook 13" Aluminum (2008) to OS X Yosemite earlier this year, and ever since, my computer has not been as fast as it was on OS X Mountain Lion or before.  It ran fine then, but my speed has fallen harshly.  Is there a way to make my computer operate faster?

  • Why is my iPad running slow since upgrading to 5.0.1?

    Since my iPad was upgraded to 5.0.1 it seems to run slower and now it's been crashing out of applications frequently.  Any ideas?  I reboot it all the time to get it to run at a decent speed.

    I didn't suffer anything like that with mine, but have hear about people who had the same after restoring from backup. Some said that restore the iPad from scratch (not from a previous backup) solved the problem.

    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.

    Try Applejack.
    Download:

    Article on using:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10334620-263.html?tag=mfiredir
    It runs in single user mode. After installing (you won't see it in the Applications Folder) hold CMD-S at startup. You will get a black screen with MS-DOS like text. Just follow the prompts: type in "applejack AUTO" and it will run through the following:
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    You can also run tasks selectively and for specific users by typing in "applejack." After running in "AUTO,"  you can go back and run it again as "applejack," steps 3 & 4 only, for your user.
    The first reboot will take much longer than usual, as it rebuilds caches. It may take several restarts to see the benefits. Because of the deep cache cleaning in AUTO mode some applications may tell you they are being opened for the first time.

  • My Macbook is significantly slower since I downloaded Lion X

    Hi there!
    I download Lion X months ago, I remember I had duplicate icons and software then, I say many people having this problem though. I followed a few steps in order to finish with this issue and the duplicates were finally deleted. Since then (the download) my mac is significantly slower and sometimes frozen for few seconds, I can't open several apps as I used to because I have this problem. I don't know if I really deleted the duplicates, if I look for "safari' using finder it still appear two of them. I don't know if this problem is related with the slow runnig of my Lion.
    I've other issues since then, for example when I 'turn my computer off" with the "Mail' app running I can't never turn it off if I don't turn that app down myself cause is says "Mail is not letting turn the computer off" and it sometimes happens with other software I've downloaded afterwars like "Vuze".
    Is this slowness related with the duplicates or why is my computer so slow since then?

    I do not download apps from torrents, I only download movies. I've done it since I bought my mac, but since I downloaded lion X everything's turned slow and the colour wheel appears constanstly (specially when Mail is open). Regarding the duplicated icons I just mentioned it cause it was a problem that many people had when downloading Lion X, I had it myself.
