iPod touch iPod Touch Safari vs Music issues/problems

[jjohnson16]

Just wanted to start some discussion on a recent problem that I have found with my 16 gb iPod Touch. I was listening to music and I decided to get online with the built-in WIFI. A few seconds into the use of both the Music and the Internet, my music stopped playing. Safari continued to work, but none of the audio would play. I went back and started a new song, then went about my business using Safari. A few seconds later the same error occurred. I tried different music (purchased, recorded, etc) and got the same effect after using Safari.

I began to notice that using multi-touch (pinch for example) would trigger a stop in the music. Also, turning the screen would cause the same error. A few times, Safari kicked out too and I was brought back to the home screen. I placed a call with Apple and the Representative said that he would make a note of the issue.

Any one else experiencing this?

(btw extremely impressed/happy with the device despite this issue!)

Why dont you just exchange it for a new one??? It sounds like you have a defective unit...i remember when i got my iphone on the 29th, safari would crash when listen to music.....the problem was corrected with the first update but it sounds like you may have a legitimate issue.....go to the genius bar and show them the problem.

I have experienced this as well. I thought it related to the pinch/spread zoom, but apparently just scrolling can do it. Also, I found that if I double-click the home button (to bring up the music control) it switches to some other song by a different artist (and always to the same song, regardless of what I was listening to.) Hopefully Apple will update the Touch soon, but its a little disconcerting to be experiencing these kinds of issues on a device that is supposed to be basically the same hardware and software as the iPhone.

Hmm. Sounds defective to me as I have had no troubles thus far with music and safari. Pinching, scrolling, typing, etc.

this problem is not because of a "defective iPod" it is just a flaw in the software that will more than likely be fixed in a few weeks by a software update via itunes

does the song name start with an A?

it just goes to the first song in your library...

but anyway yeah ive had that problem too but it only happened for a little while then it was ok

I did a hard reset and I have not had any problems since starting the thread. I am confident that this is a small software glitch and that it will be resolved in future updates. I suppose that returning is an option, but if I experience the problem again I will certainly go to a Mac Genius and have them take a look. There is another thread talking about this same topic, but many thanks for the response!

Fixed IT

after talking with a pleasant lady from apple- the trick is to reset settings. This does not erase your music! Then try to browse and it will work. At first i tried to reformat and restore thinking it was my music and something corrupt, but after trying all other options, i used my 1 free phone call, and good as new. Good Luck
reset settings under setings, general, reset, ok-
