So many problems with my iPod Touch 4th gen

-One song would play for a while, then would do some weird thing where it'll play the song after it. When you select to play it, it won't play at all.

-Removed apps would reappear if downloading or updating apps, and say it's waiting to be downloaded and can't be removed from the home screen.

-Apps would randomly crash for no reason.

-Internet is slow on it, while everything in the house isn't on the connection at all.

-Can't stream videos on any services via apps or browsers.

-Have over 20GB free of space, but it still says 3.8GB free of space.

This is a 32GB black iPod Touch 4th gen if you want to know that.

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 5.1

Try a Reset:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

If not fixed, sounds like you need to restore. Do you have an (iTunes or iCloud?) backup?

I reset my iPod hundred of times, and nothing worked. Would I lose anything if I restore it?

If you restore from a backup, you won't lose data. But if the problems persist after restoring from the backup, you may have to restore as new, in which case you would lose data.

What happens if I back-up now and restore it from the back-up I just made? Would it still have the problems that's in it?

Then your last option is to take it to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Repair Service.

Call 1-800-APL-CARE and they will tell you if your under waranty. If you are, it could be replaced for free, if you are not...well thats another story. It probably just needs a good ole restore...sounds like a severe software issue.

It soundas like a software problem have you tried to restore it. that should work , but if it doesnt apple is the best with problems like these if they find out it was a problem on their end they will give you a refurbished one for free 9 times out of 10. The one thing you should know about apple is that they are mainly software.
