I updated iTunes and now my 160 GB iPod Classic makes iTunes freeze.

I have done everything from resetting the iPod to uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.  I have formatted and reformatted the iPod.  The iPod actually works, I can go through and fix the settings to my liking.  But when I go to sync with my iTunes, iTunes freezes and I have to reboot the entire computer to be able to use iTunes again.  I just can't plug in the iPod.
I have also tried a different computer, with the new iTunes and different cords as well.  This makes me afraid to even try to sync my iPhone.
Help!  What do I do?!

If you get a message that says Ipod_control is corrupt you should put you Ipod into Disk mode by 1st holding pressing the MENU AND SELECT buttons at the same time util the apple logo appears. Then press the SELECT button and PLAY/Pause buttons at the same time until it goes into disk mode. Once that happens connect it to your computer and you will see your Ipod as an external drive. Right click on the IPOD drive Icon and select properties, then slect tools, then select error checking, then select fix file system errors, then slect OK. Once the system files are fixed, this will take a while, your Ipod will be recognized by Itunes like it use too. I know this is a pain, but its the only thing I could figure out and it worked. Good luck!

  • Updated to 10.4.1 on Itunes and now can no longer access the actual Itunes store ...

    Now i have a bit more space, i can explain what is really properly wrong. The other day i updated my itunes to the 10.4.1 version and now can no longer access the Itunes store - whenever i try to do so i get the bar at the top gets to about half way then stops and nothing happens - on rare occasions however i am taken into a place that resembles the Itunes store but there is no detail and whenever i click on anything, NOTHING happens.
    Now on a SUPER RARE occasion i'll get a notice that the request was timed out?
    If ANYBODY can help me i'll be very grateful

    Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!"  You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
    The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3).  I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store.  My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5.  Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs.  I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store. 
    Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
    I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

  • After itunes 9.2 install,160 gb ipod classic corrupted

    I installed iTunes 9.2 a couple of weeks ago, and when I went to plug in my iPod to my laptop it says "Your iPod needs to be reformatted for use with Windows. Would you like to run iTunes to restore your iPod now?" Whether I click yes or just x off the pop up and open iTunes, I get another pop up that says "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted..." iTunes shows that an iPod is hooked up to it but I cant acces anything on it in iTunes or add any songs or anything. The iPod itself still works fine, plays all the songs etc. I know alot of people are having problems with their iPod classics and iTunes, but most of their iTunes seems to recognize their iPod and just freezes. I dont wanna wipe my iPod and start again because I've been reading people who've wiped theirs are running into problems when they try to put their music back on it. I've got like 23,000 songs on it and dont wanna wipe it and spend the hours manually putting my music on it from my external hard drives and still not have it work. Any suggestions?

    Really the only thing that would very most likely work is to manually restore it. if iTunes isnt even restoring it after you click "yes" though, try reinstalling iTunes for any luck. if you can get your hands on 9.1 or some version of 8, all the better. but yes you may have to resync the entire library....a second thought would be to reset the ipod too

  • Alpine CDE-103Bt Head Unit and Problem with 160 Gig Ipod Classic

    Hi,
    2 weeks agao I brought a new Alpine CDE-103BT Head unit for my car. I have owned one of the old 160 gig classics for the last year and a half and at the time I brough the unit I was told this should all work sweet. Indeed all of the documentation from Alpine, and the Sales person, said this would not be a problem.
    Unfortunately from Day one, most times after I received a phone call, while playing my ipod, the Head Unit would givesme an "Error-03" message and stop playing my music. I would then have to unplug my ipod, reset it, and plug it back in. Extremely frustrating.
    The people I brought the Head Unit from are trying to say its an Ipod problem, yet I never had any problems with it and after I contacted the Australian Ipod help line they said it all appears to be working correctly. The firmware version I was on when I first tried the ipod on the head unit was 1.1.2. The Alpine manual said it should be 1.1.1 (then again you would expect them to be able to cope with updates) so as a last ditch attempt I downgraded the firmware on my ipod to 1.1.1, but it did not make a difference.
    The only other thing I have noticed is that I switch the repeat and shuffle settings off when I plug in the unit, but after I unplug it after an Error-03 the Repaet function has been swtiched to all - I am not sure if this is what is causing the problem.
    I am getting pretty frustrated with everything and I was wondering if anyone else has come accross this issue and even me helpful had they found a way to fix it.
    If not has anyone had any postive expereinces with Alpine head units?
    Thanks

    I tried to update itunes and now it won't open, how do I fix it?  Will uninstalling and reinstalling erase my library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
