iPod app not working after update to 4.0 on iPhone 3G s?

I'm experiencing the same exact issue.

ipod app not working after upgrading to OS 4.0

Hi folks,

The same issue here with my IPhone 3GS. Waiting to see any patch soon.

Same issue as well...the iPod app opens, displays for a few seconds, then closes. I tried rebooting a few times, but I continue to have the issue. (Good thing I have my iPad to use for music at work today )

I'm considering doing a fresh install of 4.0. Anyone try this yet?

I have the same problem. I believe it has something to do with iTunes. I have 2 3Gs' and one of them I downloaded a podcast. The one that I downloaded the podcast, causes the iPod app to crash. The one that was just updated to 4.0 works perfectly fine. Can any of you confirm that you downloaded something off the iTunes app and that caused it to break?

Ironic that we finally get to background the Pandora App and now the iPod app goes.

I downloaded a song from iTunes and am now having the same issue. Any known fixes out there?

Experienced the same thing with my 3g. Reinstalling fixed it.

I downloaded a song from iTunes this morning (via the iPhone) immediately before attempting to use the iPod app. Unfortunately, I don't know if the iPod worked before that and the download broke it, or if it happened immediately as a result of iOS 4 upgrade.

However, I personally know of three other people who've done the iOS upgrade on their 3GS's and are NOT having the iPod issue...so, there must be some sort of combination of factors that is causing it.

I never opened the iPod app before downloading a podcast, so I can't be sure one worked without the other -- but yes, I downloaded a podcast, and now the iPod won't stay open for more than a brief moment.

Just read on the Apple support discussion boards that a re-syncing of the phone will do the trick to cure this. I'm away from my home computer to do that, but that's the word. So give that a try, for those experiencing the problem.

I had this exact same problem. After upgrading the OS, my iPod app showed that I had no podcasts even though I had several before upgrading. I downloaded a couple through the iPhone, then the iPod would crash immediately whenever I opened it. I rebooted and resynched a couple of times without any change.

I finally got it to work by downloading a new podcast through iTunes on my desktop and then resynching. I noticed during the synch that it was now transferring podcasts to the iPhone. After the synch, the iPod app worked fine.

Going through the sync process again fixed the problem for me.

I had the same issue

The iPod worked after the upgrade until I downloaded a couple of songs yesterday directly. I hope re-syncing works!

Sync-ing worked for me

My music shows up, but doesn't always play. Or it shows a different song title / album artwork than what is playing.

I have shut the phone down, and tried syncing it again. Neither of these things worked
