Why does my iPod Touch keep crashing when I try to edit some of my photos?

You can try the standard fixes. Other uses have reported the same problem but I do not recall a resolution

- 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.

- Restore from backup

- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

HolsDols,

This happens to me too. I always delete the photos that cause this. This DID NOT happen on iOS 5.0, or 5.0.1, only on iOS 5.1.

this just happened to me and i just checked the image format and the picture that this happened to was a GFI image i don't know weather this happens to others and i don't plan on trying any others i would just stick with JPG images

My iPhone is having the same exact problems, and just like Genius Of Apple said, it's only happened with 5.1.1

I have done all of the things you listed, prior to looking up help online, and only to find out that the only help offered is common sense. Apple itself needs to fix the bug, and it's ridiculous that to talk to somebody ABOUT the bug on tech support, ....YOU HAVE TO PAY $30 TO HAVE SOMEONE LISTEN TO YOUR PROBLEM. Apple needs to just FIX their own mistakes. This is obsurd.

I'm very upset that I cannot edit my photos (crop them), it's such a simple thing and Apple probably doesn't even care because "it's a little thing". NO! FIX IT!!!!

This is an error in iOS 5.1

I don't know what is causing it other than the fact that its in iOS 5.1 but not any below. But this may get fixed in the next update.

wow everyone i agree because im also on ios 5.1.1 on my non-jailbroken ipod touch 4g. each time i edit a photo (screenshot, etc.) i pess crop and then the screen turn white and then reboots. i hop this bug or glitch can be fixed in the next update ios 5.2 whenever that will come out and i hope this bug wont effect or damage your device.im really worried but im glad its not just me. happened to me the first i got the new update in may 9 or something. APPLE FIX THIS BUG IN YOUR NEXT UUPDATE AND WE WILL ALL BE HAPPY

oh yeah and i also restored at leat 5 times with new factory setting and the glitch is still there. so its obviously an ios 5.1.1 bug.

Hello,

My wife bought me the latest ipad 5.1 for my birthday in April, 2012. We have since been on a long trip to Europe where we took many photos on a Cannon camera and imported them to the ipad so we could email some home. We also made a few short videos using the ipad.

Although I have not done any editing or even looked at these photos during the two weeks we've been back in the US, my ipad keeps shutting down on its own. I have tried holding down the start button and the control button for ten seconds but it doesn't solve it. The only way I have been able to solve it is by plugging in the charger. If I'm not near an electrical circuit, then most of the time I can't use the ipad.

thats another problem i have heard of. the ios 5 has a bug where it also randomly reboots the system by itself. its a bug that should be fixed. my device does not do this but onloy to the photos. the wierd thing is that mines has stopped. i stopped editing photos for at least a week or 2 and i took a screenshot and now it crops normally.

i suggest waiting for a new update that is ios 5.1.2 which may be coming out this monday

my ipod has been frozen with the apple logo on the screen for two days strait because i tried to crop a photo. its really ******* me off. they need to fix this NOW.😠
