Hey cwills75,so you are a graphics designer...I have the same thing that apparently you had.Except in my case there may be no hope and I would have to get an ANDROID.I cannot downgrade as all the files in my Ipod and all itunes related stuff,well I got them by luck.Anyways,if you dont mind,can you show me a few of your designs? What do you even do with your work when you finish?

Repeated updates to an old device seem to miss a byte of information here and there... Think of it as editing the original, over and over, but with paper and ink....


Time to clean up, clear out and start over.


Back up your data to the computer via USB cable. Check preferences, devices to make sure you have one good back up to restore later. Manage storage on the device so you know you backed up the App data that you need back later.


Now wipe it out, reset all content and settings or restore to factory settings.


Set up like new


Dig up that back up and restore your data.


You should have all built in Apps back and a fresh, functional. No more crashing.

And you may find you have more storage on the iPod also. Updated Apps takes up more space than a new App.
