While looking at a webpage about home brewing Cider:) Safari locked up, clicking on the bookmarks did nothing, trying to type a web address in did nothing, clicking the back arrow just made the back arrow stay lit.
Turning the iPod Touch off and back on did not fix it either. Even tried connecting to the computer and syncing iTunes but still no luck.
Safari seemed to be locked up for good and nothing would fix it, not even clearing all the cache and history or turning off Java.
I did eventually find a way to fix it, it was similar to the lockup on a iPod Video.
Do this to fix it:
1) With the iPod/iPhone on, or in standby mode, press two buttons at the same time as per photo below
(1) The home button (the one at the bottom) and (2) The power button (on the top edge of the iPod/iPhone) and keep them pressed, after a few seconds a new screen will show which has a red arrow which says Slide to power off.
2) Slide it across and the iPod Touch/iPhone will power off with a swirly thing in the centre for a couple of seconds.
3) Now press and hold the power button until the white Apple logo shows, it will show for 10 seconds followed by about 20 seconds of blank.
4) It will then power up in the normal way.
5) Slide the power on and goto Safari and you should now see that its working ok again.
This also works on my iPhone 3GS and I think also the 4G iPhone too !
Hope you find this useful. Please leave comments if it did.
