ios 5 make my ipod 4g slow

Hmm...I updated an iPad 2 and my iPod touch 4g, and I had a friend that updated an iPad 2 and an iPod touch 3G, and then mother friend that updated another iPad 2, and none of us lost any data. My iPod touch 4g has posts of speed issues and crashing problems since 5.0.1 though (it was fine on 5.0). My iPad has problems with large apps and safari crashing. Definitely upgrade when they fix these speed and crashing problems, but only upgrade now if you think you can live with that, but as long as you have enough room on your hard drive during the back up, and you DO NOT DISCONNECT it until it has finished loading everything (music and video is done last).

Did you have any music on your ipod touch 4G that was burnt from CD's and then transferred across? If so did these remain after the update?

Cheers

Yes I did. As long as all of your music is on your iTunes on your computer, it will be put back on after the update. Just don't remove you iPod until after it is completely done.

Thanks rcider4, all info at this stage is a massive help

cheers

Np :). Glad I could help

I wonder if thats how I lost everything. I could have swore that I left it connected til it was completely done, but maybe I did disconnect it too soon? Lesson learned if they ever do this again!

thanks!

I don't remember, but I think it tells you when to disconnect it. I'm not positive tho. It was a while ago that I upgraded

This is truly trajic! C'mon apple get your $"*t together im about ready to chuck this device out the window and not buyinnn another! This is worse than a Microsoft folly unbelievable....

You guys shouldn't really waste your time complaining on here. Alot of people including myself tried by calling Apple and reporting this but the "Geniuses" would say that no one else reported that issue and they would tell us to back up then fresh restore and to return the device/take it to an apple store to fix it which was bullsh!t because that will never solve the issue since it's a software/memory issue that Apple need to fix. Anyway I went back and read what few other posters posted and so I returned the white iPod 4th Gen that I bought and went on eBay and messaged few buyers asking which iOS their black iPod 4th Gen was running and managed to buy a new one with 4.2.1 I've had it for more than a month and it's perfectly fast and responsive. At least I don't have to deal with the stupid laggyness or unresponsive screen when you try to unlock the device on iOS 5. You guys should consider doing what I did. 4.2.1 is much more stable and faster on the iPod 4th Gen than stupid iOS 5.

Hey guys,

did someone knows if Apple has taken the responsabily of this problem? did they someting about fixing this new and slow ios5?? Because i'm really expecting a new download upgrade since 6 months i think.

Let me know if someone has the answer

Hopefully it will be fixed in the upcoming iOS 5.1

Before you try anything, do this:

1) Go to the menu

2) Double-press the home button on the iPod to pull up the background apps on the bottom.

3) Hold down one of the icons to make them shake.

4) Touch each '-' sign for each app, until they are all cleared.

After this the icons will come back over time, but it will not slow down.

If that does not work, also try to turn off location services to speed things up even more.

DEfinately not alone. A fair punt of apps are unplayable for me, most likely a memory issue. Hope apple Huerta up and takes responsibility for the problem then enforced on us.

I Hop iOS 5.1 be better and I think apple well fix it •_•

I got an iPhone 4S over the weekend and I can now say that I am pretty sure this is a RAM issue. My iPhone hasn't lagged or crashed yet, and the main difference is the amount of RAM (dual core does help a bit with lagginess, but crashing is related to RAM).
