ITunes 7.0.2 freezes with new iPod 60GB

Hello everyone
Everytime I connect my iPod to my Powerbook G4 laptop, iTunes decides to freeze. This never happened to me before. I connect my Nano all the time and no problem.
Is there a way to fix this little problem? I checked some sites where users suggest going through disk utilities and selecting my iPod then restoring it or fixing, something along those lines, so I tried doing that but for some reason I get an error message.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, Quicktime is up to date. Everything is up to day, but when placing the iPod in the dock while the iMac is running is when the problem arises.

New itunes account (s) for brothers with new ipods??

I just purchased an ipod touch for each of my teenage boys for their birthdays. We do not have itunes accounts yet. They most likely will want much of the same music on their ipods.
What is the best way to set up the account?
Should we get one itunes account and have them set up different libraries to upload to their ipods?
Should they have separate itunes accounts? Can they merge the music if they want some of the same music?
I just want to set up correctly from the beginning. They will be using the same computer when they use itunes.
Thanks in advance!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Windows Freezes When New Ipod 60gb plugged in

When I plug in my video ipod, my windows xp will slow down. I can click things in the desktop and nothing will happen. Sometimes I cant click the start menu. It shows that the "new hardware" is plugged in. If I unplug it, all the things i clicked on open and windows runs fine. If I leave the ipod plugged in for a few minutes, like 2-5, it will eventually open up itunes and connect to the ipod but I dont like how slow it takes to connect. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

Same Problem with a Dimension 4500 with USB 2.0 so I am not sure that's the problem. It appears to be all about being patient for the PC to recognize the IPOD and get Itunes up and running. The things get better.
When updating the IPOD I get a message after 50 or so MB are transferred that the update has stopped because the disk is not accessible.
My guess on all this is that there is a incompatibility with the USB drivers

ITunes 7.0.1 freezes with iPod Video

Hi,
i am using iTunes 7.0.1 with an iPod Video.
The installation works fine, but when ever i try to sync iTunes with my iPod it freezes.
I found no way to solve this problem. Only downgrade to iTunes 6.5. works (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=643810&tstart=15) but i want to use the new version of iTunes, because i also have a new iPod nano, who needs version 7 or higher!
Has anyone a solution?
Thanks, Helmut

Hi,
i have found an answer for the problem.
Delet all data on my ipod an make a new
syncronisation.
After that everyting works fine.
I tried this but it still freezes even after "restoring" the ipod. Could it be that it wont sync with 17Gig of library on my computer (3 years old)?

Just bought an IPod nano 7th generation. I have a Mac computer OS X v10.5.8 with 10.6.7 iTunes player. To use the new IPod nano I need a OS X v10.6.8 or later and iTunes 10.7 or later. What are my options to upgrade the Mac?

Old iTunes with new iPod

Hi,
Here's my question. I have an older iPod from circa 2004. I want to get one of the new 'iPod videos'. If I do this can I use the new iPod with the iTunes that I have on my PC or is the iTunes only allowed to interface with the initial iPod that it was sync'd with.
thanks guys,
Dennis

You can use the new iPod without problems. Just make sure that all your tracks are in iTunes (i.e. you don't have any that are just on your old iPod and not in iTunes) and when you connect the new iPod, you'll be stepped through getting it set up, just as when you first connected your old iPod.
If you plan to use both iPods with the same iTunes library, take a look here:

Want to sync iphone to my itunes account that I use with my ipod

I have recently purchased an iphone 4S and when i switched it on for the first time it came up with a set-up screen. One of the options was to set it up as a new iphone (new apple ID and password) or to restore from an itunes back-up. I would like to sync it to my itunes account that I use with my ipod but my laptop is being repaired. Which option should I choose? - Can I set it up as new iphone (ie new apple ID) and then sync it to my itunes account later or do I need to wait and connect it to my laptop? It wont let me do anything with the phone until I have finished the set-up..
Thanks!

Do not set it up with a new Apple ID. You can set up as a new phone but with your old Apple ID. Purchases are specific to an Apple ID.

Itunes keeps saying "welcome to your new ipod touch."

I updated itunes and all, and my iPod touch shows up in "My Computer" but I want to add a movie to my iPod Touch but I am unable to because everytime I plug in my ipod to my computer and go to itunes it says "welcome to your new iPod Touch."

Hello Mike,
Congratulations on your new iPod touch! When you connect an iPod touch to iTunes for the first time, it gives you the welcome screen, but there should also be a button that says "Continue" or "Get Started" that you can click on to continue with syncing.
Once you have clicked on one of those buttons, you can continue with the steps in the following article to sync content to your new iPod:

Many Problems with new iPod

It all started out when I got my nice shiny new iPod. I installed the latest 64 bit version of iTunes and connected my new iPod. First thing iTunes told me was that the iPod was corrupt and needed to be restored. I thought no big deal. The iPod is new with nothing on it so I had nothing to lose. The iPod was stuck in restore mode for about 8 hours and I gave up. I rebooted the computer and reconnected the iPod. Now iTunes could not see the iPod.
You may need to know that this computer is a newer Dell Studio XPS running the 64 bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.
I followed all of the recommended solutions on the page for Windows not seeing an iPod. When it came to reinstall iTunes is when the real challenge started. Lots of problems with not being authorized to write some registry keys and iTunes would roll back the installation. Each time I installed iTunes I installed as Administrator. I had to jump through all of the hoops of deleting these registry keys what would not delete. I installed several times, each time deleting a new registry key that the installer would not overwrite. After 2 days I finally got iTunes reinstalled.
However iTunes would still not see the new iPod. Messed around with this for another few hours.
I have an old computer that I seldom use. This is an older Dell Dimension running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. It had an old version of iTunes. I thought I would try getting the iPod to work on this computer. This would at least tell me if there was a problem with the iPod itself. I updated the iTunes to the latest version. Connected the iPod. It was seen but said the iPod was corrupt. Did a restore and all appeared to work fine. So this tells me the problem is not with the iPod, but with iTunes on the other computer.
I went to my other computer, the one that I want to use iTunes on, and reconnected the iPod. It was seen this time but iTunes said that the iPod was corrupt and needs to be restored. I started the restore process. It has been restoring for over 10 hours now.
I really don't want to start over with all of the problems I had reinstalling iTunes.
Anyone have some suggestions on what to try next?

Made some progress during my lunch break. I started suspecting a problem with the USB driver for this iPod. I found KB article 1538 which was helpful.
I went to the device manager and deleted anything that looked like an Apple device and deleted all USB mass storage devices. I also deleted the device drivers for these items at the same time. I then scanned for hardware changes and the iPod was found.
The iPod is now seen in Windows Explorer. It still has the name I gave it when it was connected to my other PC. So I suspect the restore that was taking over 10 hours never had a chance to start. From Windows Explorer I was able to access some folders on the iPod.
iTunes would still not see this iPod. However I hope a reboot will solve this.
Ran out of time and needed to go back to work. I will update how this worked.

HT2688 my daughter wants to move some of her music she bought on itunes for her shuffle to her new ipod touch. how do i get this done?

my daughter wants to move some of her music she bought on itunes for her shuffle to her new ipod touch. how do i get this going?

The music should still be in her iTunes Library - the one she uses to put music on the Shuffle. Simply connect the new iPod to that iTunes library, make the choices she wants for syncing the music to the iPod (which I guess, may now include putting all her music onto the iPod, since it has more storage capacity) and press Sync.
Future Syncs with that Library will cause any changes of the Library to be copied to the iPod. Note that music is (or should be) copied to the iPod, not moved. There are two reasons for having the music in the Library:
makes it easier to put the music onto a newer iPod, such as now;
if or when the iPod needs a Restore, which will delete everything from the iPod, you will need to copy "the Library" back onto the same iPod.

Need help with new iPod (kind of kong)

I have a 2nd generation iPod mini with 4GB of music in an outdated iTunes version 5 I think.
I just bought an 80GB iPod classic, and want to know how to go about installing it and putting the music on.
1. Should I uninstall iTunes and then download the newest one, then put all of my music into iTunes that I want on the new iPod?
2. Or just update old iTunes and plug in the 80GB one.
I am not really tech savvy so any help is appreciated! =)

Just update iTunes to the latest version, connect your new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions to register and name it. It will connect to iTunes and prompt you to automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like. You can leave it at manual update or choose to sync music - selected playlists.

when trying to open itunes red x box opens with "new itunes library". No options provided

Sorry reply is only to say "ditto" except for iPod involvement. I can't repair iTunes, can't access it when in programs/features
Any other suggestions out there? I tried reinstall, no difference. Had latest version anyway. Only thing different I did the last time I was able to get into iTunes was listen to radio streams. ??????

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Playlist Sync Issues with new iPod Touch 8G

Hi Guys - This my first post. Just got an iPod Touch 8G for Christmas, and I'm
having some issues with Syncíng it and would appreciate some guidance.
I previously used a Sony PSP as my portable music player, and so my music
is organised into folders, with a .m3u playlist for each folder.
To get the music and the playlist onto the iPod, I tried to use the followqing procedure:
1. Downloaded and installed iTunes
2. Registered my iPod and signed up for the iTunes Store
3. Added one of my folders to the iTunes Library
4. Synchronised with my iPod (I selected Manually manage music and videos)
Checked that all the songs were downloaded successfully to the iPod, and
play on the iPOD.
5. Imported the .m3u playlist into iTunes(File->Library->Import Playlist).
Checked it had all items and could play the tracks from the library.
For some reason, the tracks from the folder now appear twice in the
Library after this step.
6. Attempted to sync the playlist to the iPOD. The playlist has 249 tracks,
but for some reason the sync operation fails with error message "Attempting
to copy to the disk 'Joseph Olajubu's iPod' failed. The disk could not be
written to or read from".
The playlist is partially copied, with between 49 and 208 entries (depending on the sync attempt). Playing the songs from the ipod or creating the playlist directly on the iPOD works. Any idea what's going wrong here? I've tried this operation on 2 different computers with similar results. The iPOD has around 4.5G memroy free. Alternatively, is there software like Anapod available for the iPod Touch if this is an iTunes bug?
Thanks in advance for your help
