My iPod 4g is running slow, how can I make it work faster?

My iPod 4g has been really slow lately and it crashes a lot, when I have an app open or safari and go to home screen it takes a while, even when I'm on home screen and want to open an app it takes at least 5 seconds for that app to open up, and most of my apps crash whenever I open them including safari or even when I change the language on my keyboard safari or whatever app i have open just crashes. As far as I can remember I didn't have any problem with my iPod before updating to iOS 6. I do not have my iPod jailbroken. Do I have to take my iPod to the repair shop? Please help.


Thank you

iPod touch, iOS 6.1, Its newly bought

Try This first...


Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...


Reset ( No Data will be Lost )


Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use..


If no joy...


Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “...
