iPad - iPod App not working!

If you purchased your iPad in Saudi Arabia, there's a good chance it's jailbroken. We cannot help you here.

If it was purchased from an Apple store in a country that's actually selling the iPad, you should restore the iPad to factory settings and resync the iPad.

please keep this thread going and update if you find the fix... i am having the same problems today, the only change i made to the ipad was installing aim? anyone else update to the new aim today?

i got the app to load but since i currently don't have music on the ipad im not sure if it works but i went to settings/about, waited for all the diagnostics to load (which for movies, pics and music took longer than expected) and then i got out of settings and fired up the ipod app which worked... wish me luck adding and playing music....

I can't get the iPod app nor the Videos app to work. They both open, then immediately close.

spoke too soon... ipad says 0 songs after adding music... 😟 if anyone is experiencing this issue or finds a fix please post...

okay, i read this fix on another forum and it works (for now), i added a video (mp4), played the video and then the ipod add detects music and plays... let's see how long this lasts... not happy about that...

Yeah, I'm stuck in the same place. Last week the Ipod app crashed on open. I ran the video app and it worked when I played a podcast. After that, the Ipod app then worked. All was well for a while but now NEITHER the iPod app or the Video app will launch successfully. Note sure really what to do this time.

The last time, before I figured out that video fix, a complete restore did not work. Granted, I restored from backup for I don't want to restore as NEW since I have hours invested in inputting data in financial apps that I really don't want to lose by really starting as if it was a new ipad. Sadly, they don't yet have good backup restore options in some of the apps.

I took my iPad to Apple's Genius Bar. The operating system's software was corrupt. They wiped it off and reinstalled the software. Work's beautifully.

Yes, restoring as a new iPad would do that too. But if you restore from backup to save any data you have in apps like financial, gas milage, medical data etc then the corruption comes back with it. I went the Settings reset all the defaults route. All my data except icon placement remained intact and all is well again. Of course it took me an hour and a half to put all the icons back!

Hopefully the folder feature in the new upcoming firmware update will reduce this straightening out if/when it happens again in the future.

I had the issue with the ipod not opening up, or opening for a second then closing. For giggles I tried a restore and then used my data backup. I still had the same problem. I did it again and as others have posted started from scratch and all is fine now.
I guess the moral is do a complete restore and don't use your backup.

Let me add another user that had this happen. Sure hope Apple fixes whatever is causing this soon!

another case here - both ipod and video apps fail to load. Did the "reset all settings" and now seems ok. Now have to sort out all the settings again!

Add another user to the list of the iPod not working on the iPad. I am going to find hopefully a fix on the net that does not require a system restore and then have to reinstall the 100 or more apps which would take hours. If this is a STD problem I guess we can say welcome to PC world. system restores are Microsoft and every PC mfr.'s excuse for not building their software stable enough. Well here goes... Probably off to the Apple store by the weekend. Lol
