iPod on 3GS iPhone crashing after iOS4 install

same issue here, haven't been able to try syncing again yet. thought i'd mention that under /settings/general/about it shows 0 songs, and i had many albums prior to the upgrade

All my apps keep crashing following Ios4 installation.

Anybody else having this problem?

I have reset my phone, network settings, spoke to call centre for an hour but my phone appears to be broken!!

Same. 3GS, IOS4. Downloaded podcasts, they don't show up in iPod, iPod now crashes.

the sync and unlock trick worked my 3GS ipod crashing problem too.

I was having the same problems of my podcasts going missing and the ipod app crashing since upgrading to ios4 but I just tried syncing post update like suggested here and now the ipod app has stopped crashing. I've had to re-download the podcasts. Thankfully now everything is working for me.
Thanks for the posts and I hope this helps someone out

My iPod app was working fine until I downloaded an album from iTunes over 3G. now the iPod app crashes after a few seconds. Will try the resync when I get home.

Gonna try the synching, didn't have the chance so far (bloody world cup and work...).

It's just a bit stupid that Apple isn't saying ANYthing about the issues...

Same thing is happening to me! I listened to it for a while. Then I downloaded a song and it began to continuously crash!

My phone hasn't worked right since the upgrade...apps hang/crash, battery life seems to have gone south, and signal now changes strength...

Thanx nukular potato. Your a lifesaver!
It only took half a minute, and iPod app is again back to normal.

Yes. I see this problem to with my 3g (non-'s'). I also am seeing audio applications crash after about 3 minutes of playtime (e.g. LastFM, Pandora) and my GPS now thinks I live in the middle of the lake I live beside. What a catastrophe this upgrade was! I'm on to search on downgrading.

One idea; who on this thread upgraded from a 64 bit macbook pro?

My problem was iPod app crashing when it tried to list a particular podcast's episodes. No amount of fiddling has solved it and apple support's suggestion of resetting to factory default hasn't helped either. However, it has given me the opportunity to re-do everything from scratch and completely waste my Friday.

The work-around I came up with is to create a playlist for the podcasts in iTunes, synch that to the iPhone, and play them from the list. This works, and proves it is not the podcasts themselves, but a buggy app that is the culprit.

Mine is doing the same thing - iPod crashes right after opening it. It was working just fine this morning after I upgraded it, but then I was listening to Pandora at work and after listening to Pandora my iPod is locked up - I believe someone else said they noticed problem after using Pandora.

Going to try suggestions now and see...

The suggestion to open the iPod once the phone is plugged into the computer and you have iTunes open worked - thank goodness, I was so frustrated and missing my tunes. Thank you so much for that suggestion.

You are a hero, mate!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!
