Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod classic 120GB, please help

hello,
I got a problem with my itunes/ipod, I believe it's my ipod.
My Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows 7 Professional, latest version of itunes),
it started when i've connected my ipod to itunes and I just plugged it out when it was syncronizing.
after that my whole content (music, pic's, video's) are deleted. The default stuff is the only thing what's left on it.
And now every time I connnect my ipod classic my itunes freezes. I've installed itunes on my new computer but it keeps doing nothing..
I've tried the support pages from apple but I just can't fix this problem, please help.

See Corrupt iPod classic.

  • My itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....help!!

    I have installed the new update (Windows 8 64 bit)  & my itunes freezes when I connect my ipod.    

    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.

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my iPod in. Please HELP

    I have a 4G 8GB iPod touch, and it hasn't been synced into iTunes for about 2 months now because iTunes always freezes when I plug my iPOd into it.(I have iTunes 10.1 or which ever one is the latest version and it just freezes). Can anyone help or has the same problem?

    I have the same problem
    I managed to get it to work this way on Windows 7 SP1 X64
    Itunes 10.2
    Ipod 2g
    Open Itunes
    Open Task manager
    Click on process tab
    Connect Ipod 2g
    Swap back to applications tab and check for not responding for Itunes
    If Itunes goes not responding
    Disconnect and reconnect Ipod, while viewing process tab
    It may take a few times

  • My iTunes freeze when I connect my ipod classic

    I had to restore my iPod, unfortunately, because a notification that my iTunes couldn't read my iPod for an error appeared.
    Now I restored the iPod, and when I plug in it, my iTunes failed, freeze, didn't work. So I uninstalled the iTunes, reinstalled the new version, I connect again my iPod, and still the problem, I can not work on iTunes...and I don't have music
    The big problem is that I cannot close iTunes anymore, even pressing Ctrl+Shift+Supr.; and when I want to turn off my computer, it never finish turning off because it is closing iTunes and it can't.
    My iPod is 120GB Classic
    My computer is Windows 7

    I had an issue once where iTunes wouldn't see the iPod, and the iPod would act like its trying to connect but would never complete (On a Windows Based PC).
    The only way I got around that issue with my 80GB Video iPod was to do a reset on the iPod (menu and center for a few seconds until it rebooted). After that the device was good and would sync fine.
    However, if your device is saying otherwise like the format option then I'd be concerned... And I would recommend doing a restore first before a format... Try the reset, and connect.... If you are concerned once you get it syncronized then do the restore option through iTunes!

  • My Itunes locks when I connect my Ipod classic. I have the latest version of Itunes as of 10/31/11.  Any fixes???

    My Itunes locks when I connect my Ipod classic.  I have the latest version of Itunes as of 10/31/11.  Anyone have any fixes?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....possible corrupt file?

    I reinstalled itunes to the latest version.
    And I'm still having the same problem: My itunes freezes whenever I connect my ipod. And when i disconnect it, it unfreezes and it shows "My Ipod" in itunes for like a second then goes away.
    Now, when I reinstalled again, i noticed a message saying that Windows is missing components required to fully install Itunes (itunes installed anyway) or something like that. Now, i connected it to my parents' pc and it works fine.
    Is there something wrong with my pc? Is there a different program where i can transfer my music to my ipod? (I am using Windows XP btw)
    Also is there a way to move all the songs on my ipod to an external hard drive?

  • ITunes freezes when I connect my iPod to my macbook pro

    Hello, has anyone else had this issue?
    I have the newest version of itunes and have reset the iPod and everything else I can think of.
    Thanks!

    MB Pro has only one USB port that is compatible for iPod Classic operations like sync or restore. The other USB port is shared internally with other IO devices, like iSight, bluetooth, infrared resulting in slowing down the datarate, hence freezing the iTunes.
    try to swap to the other USB Port after you disconnect and reboot your MB Pro.
    Also dont use any other USB devices, while connecting an iPod Classic to the MB Pro.
    MB Pro is ok with other Apple Mobile Devices like iPhone, iPad and newer iPod Touch with faster interface devices.
    Have a nice day!

  • My itunes freezes whenever I connect my ipod classic

    Hello, I have a 7th gen 160 GB ipod classic, the latest version of itunes (10.6.3), and I've been having a lot of problems trying to put music on it lately.
    Whenever I try to connect it to the computer, my itunes just freezes up and I can't do anything with it (this happened when I tried it on another computer as well). When I disconnect it, my device appears on itunes for a split second and a message pops up saying something like "The ipod cannot be synced, the required folder cannot be found".
    The day before this happened, I had problems with itunes freezing and that message popping up, but I could still put songs on there in between the freezing spells. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, starting itunes in safe mode, resetting my ipod while it was connected, almost everything except for restoring it. I'm afraid that if when restore it and all the music on it is gone, itunes will continue to freeze and I won't be able to put the music back on.
    Also, I have Windows Vista. Should I try to scan and repair it when the window pops up, and then restore it? Does anyone have an alternative option, or do I have to restore it to fix it? Will restoring it fix the freezing? Does anyone else have this problem? I'll be very grateful to anyone who can provide a solution. Thank you for your time.

         If your not afraid of losing your songs and everything else on your ipod try this  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLX81c5KZ_I  
         do everything he says but before plugging it in, put your ipod into disk mode by pressing and holding the select and menu buttons for 6-8 seconds, and when the screen switches immediatly press and hold the select and play buttons for the same amount(it should show a check mark/ok to disconnect.) 
         And for step two on the video, scan it, he says not to but thats when mine worked is when i scanned it. one box should be checked in the scan(the one checked by default).  Then follow the instructions on the video.
    Also to add, mine fixed and worked untill i plugged it in and tryed adding more songs.  I also did something undisclosed out of anger.  So if mine doesn't work I wouldn't be surprised.  Yours should.

  • My iTunes crashes when I connect my iPod classic.

    I tried reseting my computer, reseting my iPod and even connecting my iPod to another computer. Even in another computer when I connect it, iTunes freezes.
    Is my iPod dead?
    I can still listen to the playlist in it. It's still working, in it's own way.
    I can't even restore my iPod because of the iTunes freezing.
    Please help me

    Hello Elif B.,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The following article provides troubleshooting steps for the issue you described. Because you mentioned the issue persists on another computer, you may want to refer to that section:
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
    If the issue also occurs on a different computer:
    You may need to restore your device to factory settings.
    - If your device has an internet connection, you may use email to send yourself your pictures, notes, and other data you may need to back up before you restore.
    - If you have backed up your device in the past, and you wish to keep this backup, make a copy of your backup on your computer. See this article for details on where backups are stored.
    - Follow this article to restore your device. When the restore is finished, restore from your latest backup.
    - If the issue returns, follow steps this article again, but restore your device "As new" when prompted.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • ITunes freezes when I connect my iPod/weird clicking noise

    Hi, recently I've tried connecting my iPod to my laptop and iTunes would freeze and task manager said it wasn't responding. In addition, when this happened, my iPod would make a weird clicking noise. I noticed this noise before when I had it on shuffle and would skip to a different song just after another song started. Does anyone know what's going on?

  • TS1363 iTunes freezes when I connect this iPod (4th gen nano)

    I have an older (4th gen) ipod that a family member gave me.  I'd like to restore it and load it with music, but when I connect it and open iTunes, not only does iTunes not recognize it, but it completely freezes iTunes.  I'm using Windows 8, latest version of iTunes installed.  I've tried resetting the iPod, but that does not help. 
    When I check the device in control panel, it states "This device is working properly". 
    Any help is appreciated!

    Found my solution in a similar thread - I hope I can find it and thank the poster!
    It's a nuclear option, but it works!
    Connect the offending iPod to a computer that does NOT have iTunes
    You will be able to open the iPod as a Disk Drive in My Computer
    (the following steps worked on my laptop running XP; you will need to adapt to your operating system)
    Right-click on the Disk Drive when it appears
    Click on Format
    A window will pop up with some details and check boxes
    Check "Quick Format"
    You'll get a warning that everything on the drive will be erased.  Click OK. (you are trying to reset the iPod to its original factory settings so that ITunes will read it as a new iPod)
    Formatting only took a minute or so on my computer
    Eject the iPod (Click the icon in your taskbar at the bottom of the screen)
    Now, take the iPod back to the computer with your iTunes on it and connect it.  (Close iTunes and reopen it if you haven't already) You should see a Welcome to your new iPod screen and be able to start over again syncing music, etc. 
    It worked for me! 

  • My itunes freezes when i connect my ipod touch?

    I have had my 4th gen. 8GB iPod Touch for about 8 months now. It has worked perfectly, up until now. When i plug my iPod in, iTunes finds it( after about 30 seconds) and it just shows the little icon showing that it's syncing, or loading. It keeps doing that, and when I click on it nothing happens. I cannot access my iPod at all and i tried reseting it but that didn't help. It just deleted all my music so now im screwed. I have updated iTunes to the latest, as well as my ipod to iOS 5.1.1. I have reset my computer, reinstalled iTunes, but nothing helps. If anyone has experianced this, I need help. Thanks.

    Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and connecting to your computer and restoring via iTunes.

  • Itunes freezes when I connect my ipod nano

    Thanks Santa for the new iPod Nano. Unfortunately, every time I connect the ipod to the computer, iTunes freezes and I have to completely reboot the PC. Very frustrating! I have reloaded all the software from the CDs four times, after unstalling it, to no avail. Interestingly, I have managed to download onto the ipod on one occassion and then once the download was complete, itunes froze. Any help would be much appreciated

    Just in case, let's doublecheck to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes (the new 10.6.1.7 and one of the old ones with the freeze-on-nano-plugging-in issue.)
    There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

  • ITunes freezing when trying to sync iPod Classic 160

    System stuff
    MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.8
    iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
    iPod Classic 160g
    This iPod is only music, no photos, podcasts, movies, anything else.
    I have had no issues syncing my iPod on my MacBook Pro, until the last two times, both times coinciding with iTunes updates.
    The first time i had an issue, I got error messages telling me the disk couldnt be written to, and told me to restore the disk. I did this, and after 3 times it restored and synced successfully.
    Yesterday I began to sync and it worked, but was going extremely slow. In aabout 3 hours it had added about 600 songs out of 2200. (Now I know its a big sync, but I often add a lot of music at once. It's my job.) After it got that far, iTunes froze. I force closed iTunes and that ejected the iPod. I lt it rest a few minutes, restarted my computer, and plugged in the iPod again. iTunes opened, it started syncing and then froze while determining tunes to sync. So I force quit, unplugged the iPod, opened iTunes and set to not automatically sync. Plugged the iPod back in, and restored the disk. Ive done this a dozen times, at least.
    If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.
    Thank you in advance!!
    HaP

    I am also having a very simalar problem but i am glad to hear it is also happening to someone else.
    I still haven't been able to decide what the actuall reson for this problem is, for a while i thought it may have been an "intel problem" as one of my frends kindly put it, but i am now lead to belive that it is a problem with the auto sync.
    For a temporary solution i have been updating my ipod manually but even then it does frezze occasionaly.So i would be very intersted if anyone has any solutions or resons why it happens.

  • ITunes freezes when I connect my iPod.

    I have a fifth generation iPod with 60 GB of memory. It has worked fine for the past year. A few days ago, I connected the iPod to my new MacBook and it gave me an odd message. It asked me about a iPod setup assistant and another message about updating the iPod with puchased music that was in the iTunes library. I said okay to the second, and I got an update symbol in iTunes. However, nothing updates. The iPod's music is still on the iPod, but all the songs appear gray in the iTunes list, and I can't play them, although the iPod will play everything by itself. After a while, iTunes stops responding and I have to force quit. The iPod and MacBook have worked together fine for the past six months. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    Well, my MacBook erased my iPod. I decided to let iTunes update the iPod's library, and instead of "updating" it, iTunes erased what was on the iPod and uploaded the library from my computer. This is the third time this has happened to me, each with a different Mac and the same iPod. Can anyone explain to me why this keeps happening to me? I had 30 GB of music that I'm now going to have to track down and replace.
