ITunes freezes my computer when i sync with my iPod

updated to new iTunes because my computer said there was a conflict with my burning software. Was prompted to reinstall iTunes. so I did and install went fine untill i try to sync with my iPod. It freezes iTunes and my whole computer . I have XP pro, Nero7 Ultra edition and A 40GB PHOTO iPod. Iwould really love any help with this matter. Thanks to any who can help

Windows may have assigned a drive letter to your iPod that is conflicting with another device. With the exception of your iPod, keyboard and mouse, disconnect all other USB devices including printers, thumb drives, external hard drives, scanners, USB modems etc. and change the drive letter on your iPod. Try M or P or Z.

  • ITunes freezes and crashes when I sync my iPhone5

    Help! iTunes freezes and crashes every time I try to sync my iPhone 5. Sometimes it freezes at the start of the sync. Sometimes it successfully backs up the phone and freezes at a later step.
    Also, after I connect the phone but before I click on sync, if I click on the Apps tab in iTunes, the program also freezes and crashes.
    The same iTunes program (v.11.3.1) on the same desktop computer works just fine when my wife syncs her iPhone 4.
    What can I do about this? I'd really appreciate advice.

    Hey user1934,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes when your iPhone 5 is connected and syncing. The following resources may provide a solution:

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • Why does the new Itunes freeze/do nothing when i click on my Ipod touch icon ?

    Why does the new Itunes freeze when i click on my Ipod touch icon to manage my content? All buttones, video, tv, info, music, they all do nothing. i was only able to sync by bringing up the old sidebar. Is this a software glitch, or am i missing a step? I just spent two days reorganizing and labeling all my music for the new itunes, and had to restore my ipod so i could upload my new library. i know what is supposed to come up when you click on the music or info tabs, but nothing happens, only the eject button works. whats going on?

    The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes with the USB connector.  iTunes should open and give you instructions as to what to do.  Whatyou need to need to do is to restore the iPod via iTunes.

  • I just bought an audio book from iStore, it is in my iTunes under "audiobooks" but will not sync with my iPod Classic, any ideas?

    I have downloaded several audiobooks from audible and they have synced fine with my iPod but this book from the Apple Store will not sync from my iTunes to my iPod.
    I am also having an issue with iTunes U; I have subscribed to the two classes I am taking this term and downloaded the videos to iTunes but when I sync my iPod classic I keep getting this error message: "Some of the videos in your iTunes Library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod." I'm not sure what is going on because I have used this feature on my iPod classic before and it worked fine.

    Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
    As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod?

  • Itunes freezes my computer when I open it...

    I just bought my first ipod a few weeks back. I downloaded itunes and moved all of the music off of my computer onto my itunes, then synced it to my ipod.
    Now, when I try to open itunes - it opens but then freezes. It keeps saying it's analyzing my songs, but it never finishes!
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, however whenever I redownload it, it pulls up with all the same music and does the same thing. I'm starting to go nuts, I just want to add more music to my ipod!
    Help?

    Put your ipod into disk mode to restore it:
    Reset (Menu + Centre Button)
    As it is resetting (when the screen goes blank) quickly hold down the Play and Centre buttons until your ipod tells you it is disk mode (indicated by a tick on the screen)
    Plug your ipod in a Mac or a PC, eventually it will pick it up with iTunes and request a restore.
    Never plug out an iPod if it has not been ejected.

  • Itunes freezes after 5 seconds of syncing with 5th gen nano

    Recently, Itunes will freeze when I connect my 5th generation nano to it. It will start to sync and then Itunes will freeze up. I have it connected to an USB 2.0 port and this problem hasn't happened before. Any ideas of how to fix? I've restarted my pc multiple times and it still does the same thing. Itunes works fine when the Nano isn't connected.

    I don't get the "Itunes has stopped working" message but I get the same freezing situation when I try to synch the nano. Ultimately I have to kill Itunes and eject the Ipod manually. I just bought this Nano, probably about 4 days after installing the latest Itunes.

  • ITunes freezing up computer when addding songs

    I keep having an issue where each time I go to load new tracks to my iTunes library, it freezes up seconds into the song, then I have to back out of the system completely. This affects EVERYTHING and most times I have to turn the computer off all together to even use the system. I've tried unistalling/reinstalling the software, which works sometimes, but mostly I can't get the issue resolved. Anyone have the same problem, or know where to go with this?

    You have the latest updates for the iPod and iTunes? I have also read that Firewire is causing this a lot.

  • I have an iPod Touch and got a new computer; iTunes is installed, but won't sync with my iPod properly.

  • My Itunes has songs that won't sync with my Ipod??

    As of recently and for no reason, when I plug my Ipod into the computer it won't sync up songs anymore. Although here is the odd thing: I recently purchased 4 albums, they have stayed on my recently purchased area of my Ipod, yet all of the other songs I have purchased prior to that are not coming up on my Ipod yet they are on my Itunes.....What do I do??? I have like 300 songs that I would like to listen too, especially since I paid for them THANK YOU!

    Correct.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Why won't iTunes for PC allow me to sync with my iPod touch?

    I have songs on iTunes on my old PC and on my newer Macbook Pro.  I synced the songs form the Mac onto my new iPod Touch, but iTunes will not let me sync the songs from the PC, saying only one computer at a time can have an iTunes account.  It will only let me transfer the PC songs to the iPod if it erases all the songs already there form the Mac.  How can I get my songs from the PC over to the iPod?  Thanks.

  • Imported album to itunes library but it will not sync to my ipod, tried with my husbands ipod and the same thing. What could be the problem?

    imported an album to my itunes library, but it won't sync with my ipod classic. I tried it with my husbands ipod also and the same problem. What could be the problem?

    Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists  and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
    Thanks to all.

  • Have iTunes version 10 .3 but do not understand cloud in iTunes 11.03 can someone explain it and also how do you find duplicates in new version and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which I have had for 4 years

    I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old

    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
    View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
    The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
    Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
    Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.
