ITunes locks up when trying to set up new iPod Touch

I just got a new computer that is 64-bit and runs on Windows 7...I downloaded iTunes today and set up an account and transfered purchased songs from my old iPod to my new computer. I plugged in my new 32g iPod touch and I am wanting to not register it. When I get to the screen that lets me name my iPod and check prefrences on what to sync I hit done and iTunes locks up. I have to go to task manager to shut it down. PLEASE HELP!!! I have had this iPod touch for a week and was waiting on new computer...got new computer but cant get iPod to work!!!

Yes, worth a try. It's probably worth doing a complete uninstall of all related programs too, prior to reinstalling iTunes. for instructions on that, see:
[Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923]
Note ... at the time of me making this reply, the instructions in there aren't quite complete for 64-bit systems. After step 14 of *Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled,* I'd also include the following two steps:
(14-1/3) Open the Common Files folder.
(14-2/3) Right-click the Apple folder (if it exists), choose Delete, and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
(There's a Common Files folder where Apple stuff is stashed in the program files folder as well as the Program files (x86) folder.)

  • Windows 8.1, iOS 8.1.3, Itunes 12.1 64 bit, constantly get 'waiting for changes to apply' when trying to sync my new ipod touch

    Windows 8.1, iOS 8.1.3, Itunes 12.1 64 bit, constantly get 'waiting for changes to apply' when trying to sync my new ipod touch. Downloaded latest version f itunes, and ipod software up to date. Really frustrated I can't sync my music! Please can someone help me

    Im having huge issues after updating to 12.1 on Win 8.1  x64. Choppy playback and so on.
    Try this since it helps in most situtation :
    Remove itunes but keep library files. Then download it again and install it.
    Also most likely you will have to restore ipod touch. I restored my iPhone 5 to remove waiting for changes to apply and Error 54.
    my iPad air still isnt restored (cant do it now) and it sometimes does same like iPhone waiting for changes to apply. And gives error 54 but sync DOES GET COMPLETED.
    Also may sound stupid but try to use USB 2.0 Ports. Not 3.0. I have troubles when using 3.0

  • I downloaded iTunes 11.4 so I could set up an iPod Touch, and now it won't open at all. Can someone please tell me how to fix it?

    As mentioned - I was trying to set up an iPod Touch, and it kept telling me "open iTunes," so it dawned on me that I probably needed to update it. So I updated it, and now it just doesn't open (it bounces once, and that's it).
    For added info:
    I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
    Technically I keep all my music on an external hard drive, but I don't think anything is corrupted (because it was working fine just before I updated it).
    Thank you.

    Hi, JEvansIII.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC then launch iTunes after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

  • Itunes locks up when trying to import CD

    My itunes software locks up when trying to import a CD. Specifically, it will import 1 full CD then lock up when trying to access the artwork. I went into "properties" and stopped the software from looking for artwork, rebooted the machine and was able to import 1 CD, then it would not recognize the next one. I tried 3 different CD's and none of them worked. I am running the most recent version of itunes. Any thoughts?

    Help! I have the same problem! I am running Windows XP SP3 and Itunes 8.0.2.20. I imported about a dozen cd's and then the imports started locking up the whole system. I had to power the pc off to get things running again. I have two cd drives installed and both fail. I tried disconnecting the network cable, and it still locked up. Any ideas??

  • If I gave a wrong email when I first set up my iPod touch how can I change the email so I can then activate my accout

    I really need help changing my email that I set up my iPod touch with when I first set it up. What happened was the email I put in I don't know the password to to activate the accout so I can get apps is there a way I can change it to a different email
           Thanks

    Try resetting your iTunes password using the secret question/answer method. See:

  • I put in the wrong birthdate when registering my daughter's new iPod touch. When I went to correct it, it looked me out

    I put the wrong birthdate when registering my daughters new iPod Touch. It didn't let me establish a new account because the birthdate was too young. When I went to correct it, it continued the lock her new registration out. Now I can't successfully register her on iTunes with her correct birth year.

    i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
    So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating.  I have been asking and no one knows what to do.

  • Hi, I just want to know when will be available the new ipod touch

    Hi, I just want to know when will be available the new ipod touch

    October, as had been said here already literally dozens of times, and stated on Apple's web pages and in the Apple Store quite clearly. If you're asking for a specific date, then again as has been said here multiple times, Apple has not yet announced a specific release date.
    Regards.

  • Itunes locks up when trying to sync new 80gb iPod

    I just bought a new iPod. And keep trying to sync it to my computer, but iTunes keeps locking up on me and there is no activity. It lets me start registration then the program freezes before I can submit. Sometimes it starts to sync files but then freezes. I let it stay that way for hours, then shut it off and find nothing updated.
    What's the deal? My computer has 2 GB of ram, hundreds of GB of free space and a 3 ghz processor so I doubt it's hardware limitations

    Yes, worth a try. It's probably worth doing a complete uninstall of all related programs too, prior to reinstalling iTunes. for instructions on that, see:

    I've reset the firewall "outbound rules" as suggested in the help after the diagnostic test.  This only allows me to enter the store but upon initiating log out iTunes locks.  I've used the "netsh winsock reset" (as suggested here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15905544#15905544) to no avail.
    Any ideas are appreciated.

    Thanks for the response.  Following the instructions in that article produces the following information.  Very close to what is described in the article but the names differ (IPv6 vs. IP) and a total of eight rather than 10 values.  I can't see any LSP interfering with this . . .
    I've updated my Norton AntiVirus without effect.  Interestingly the firewall "inbound rules" shows one for iTunes even when the connectivity test fails.  If I delete the existing and create a new rule it will work only until I try to log out the current user.  Then the party is over.
    Any other ideas?
