My Itunes freezes when I plug in my ipod and wont verify or sync

My Itunes freezes every time I try to plug in my ipod classic. It wont verify my ipod so it can't sync or update it. I have to shut down and restart my computer to get it to function at all. I have had my ipod for awhile and have had no problems with it and my Iphone connects and syncs just fine. My Itunes is up dated with the latest version and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have reset my ipod multiple times. I can't even restore my ipod because it freezes so fast I cant get the restore started. Someone PLEASE HELP!!

I'd suggest you post your question on the iTunes for Windows forum. This forum is meant for getting Windows to run on a Mac.

  • Itunes freezes when I plug in my Ipod Touch - what should I do?

    I know that this has been asked numerous times, but I haven't found a solution yet. The basics:
    It was working fine yesterday, but when i plug in my ipod, itunes won't recognize it and it will freeze until I remove the ipod.
    My 3rd gen ipod touch, when I try to access my music and videos (my photos are still there), just goes to a white screen.
    After going to settings and about in my ipod, next to music and videos, it just says loading and won't do anything else.
    I've reinstalled itunes and it has the latest update.
    I've restarted my ipod many times.
    I don't know what else to do. Everything else runs fine, the apps and internet connectivity is all great. Can someone please help me? This has been an absolutely terrible month and my ipod crashing is the icing on the cake from ****.

  • Why is my itunes freezing when i plug in my ipod

    I have one of the newer ipod touches and when I tried to put the newest update on it, everything went wrong. The newest update is on it, however, everytime I plug it into my computer itunes freezes. Ive tried everything that apple has told me to do.

    Try the following (these are separate suggestions):
    Restart the computer.
    Reset the iPod using the two button combo.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If those actions do not help, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    then connecting to computer. If iTunes can now access the iPod without freezing, you should use Restore to erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software. Then you can set it up and re-sync your songs.

  • I have downloaded the latest version of itunes but when i plug in my ipod it doesn't come up as a device so carn't sync. Its like theres something blocking my computer link with itunes please help!

    I have downloaded the latest version of itunes but when i plug in my ipod it doesnt list any devices in itunes to enable me to choose my ipod to sync it. Its like there is a link missing or something blocking my computer talking to itunes. My computer itself recongnises the ipod but itunes doesn't. Please help!

    Yes reinstalled itunes a couple of days ago but got it sorted now thanks, the problem was that when i wiped my computer last week and reinstalled everything using the discs the free McAfee anti virus that the computer came with was still in my all programmes list although i aren't using it. This morning i tried unistalling that (didn't think it would make any difference as the programme wasn't active) once uninstalled i pluged the ipod in and hey presto it is now recognised by itunes, THANK GOODNESS. So panick over for now, thank you very much.

  • My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. What can I do?

    My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. Usually I just restore my ipod and re-download everything, but thats time consuming, and after I unplug my ipod from the cord connected to my computer, I can replug it right after and this will pop up again. I'm getting tired of doing this.
    Like I said, it will let me download the apps off iTune, just when I come to my apps page on my ipod, it won't let me add it to my iPod. I can't download it straight from my ipod either, but iTunes doesn't work on my ipod, and when I update my apps, when they're in waiting they never move. What can I do?

    I would say that you are not connected to the iTunes library you last synced with. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you connect the iPod to another computer/another iTunes library then you get what you see.
    You can only manually manage music and videos among different libraries, not apps.

  • ITunes completely freezes when I plug in my iPod Touch

    Hi...
    I just got an iPod Touch 8GB for Xmas. Its been working great since I got it, but just started to not work with iTunes. iTunes has not brought me any problems, either. Both work great, but when they are "together", iTunes freezes.
    When it's not plugged in, I can access everything in iTunes, but when I plug it in, it freezes, and end up having to go through the whole CtrlAltDel process. I cant update software, music or video to my iPod.
    I have done everything. Restarted both my computer and iPod. I reinstalled iTunes. It is charged. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!
    If anyone could troubleshoot this for me or it's happened/happening to you, please post a reply. iTunes is in it's most current version (8.0.2.20), and everything else is up to date.
    Thanks

  • Why won't iTunes open when I plug in my iPod?

    I plugged in my iPod, and if I already have iTunes open, I need to close it because it freezes. However, when I try to re-open iTunes, it will not open. I recently updated iTunes to 7.2 and I also updated my iPod software to the most current one. What should I do? I wanted to restore my iPod, because it kept skipping songs before, but now I can't even open up iTunes to restore my iPod. Please help .

    Over time I've come across a number of posts concerning iTunes for Windows not opening. One conclusion from other Windows users that you might want to check out has been that it could be the result of malware on your PC. The advice has been to try scanning for malware with AVG Anti-Spyware, you'll find a free trial download at this link: ewido Networks

  • ITunes quits when I plug in my iPod Nano

    Good day,
    When I plug in my iPod nano, iTunes opens and starts to sync my iPod and then after about 6 secs iTunes closes unexpectedly. My iPod is no longer visible on my desktop even though it is still plug into my computer via a USB port.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and am still having the same problem.
    I also tried to restore my iPod, but can't figure out how to do this without iTunes and I can't restore using iTunes because it keeps closing unexpectedly before I can complete the operation.
    Any help would really be appreciated.
    thank you,
    Cedartable

    Someone told me how to prevent my iPod from syncing when I plugged it into my iMac: go into Preferences in iTunes. Click on Devices. Tick the Prevent ipods ... from syncing automatically. Open iTunes. Plug in your ipod. Click on your iPod. Choose Restore.
    I did a Restore and now my iPod is syncing just fine and iTunes is not closing unexpectedly. Yay.

    Jeremy,
    Thank You for the reply but my issue was not in the attachment you sent.
    iTunes freezes when I attempt to add music to my ipod classic especially playlists I have made.
    iTunes recognizes my ipod but when I "add" that when the issue starts.

    my macbook pro but like I said, my 60,000 song plus library is on my pc.
    Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Itunes closes when I plug in my ipod shuffle. Any ideas what to do?

    I have been using my shuffle with this computer for about 5 years now and haven't had a problem until today. Now when I plug in the shuffle using USB port itunes shuts down. It doesn't have this problem with our ipod touch. I tried a different cable but that didn't fix it.

  • Itunes quits when I plug-in my ipod

    Hello,
    After I did the software upgrade for itunes it quits when I plug-in my ipod. When the ipod is not connected, itunes works fine. As soon as I try to connect the ipod, itunes quits. Any suggestions?

    I'm having the exact same problem. My Itunes works for about a minute and about 15-20 songs get downloaded onto my Ipod and then itunes quits unexpectedly. And just like you, all of my problems have started with the upgrade to Itunes 8.
    I hope someone can help us with this problem! It's becoming really frustrating.

  • ITunes locks when I plug in my iPod Touch

    I recently transferred my iTunes library and devices from my old notebook to my new PC. It worked fine. About 3 weeks later, I found that when I plug in my iPod Touch 3rd gen that iTunes would hang up if it was open. If I don't open iTunes, I can plug in the Touch and then start iTunes and it doesn't lock up and I can sync. The same seems to happen with my iPad.
    I'm at a loss as to how to go about fixing this, or even how to debug it. I'm running iTunes 10.2.1.1 and both devices have IOS 4.2.1. It might have started happening after I upgraded to 10.2.1.1. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on a quad-core machine with 8Gb of RAM.
    Any suggestions? Should I start by uninstalling iTunes and re-installing?
    Thanks, Gary Berg

    That had a link, a couple times removed, to how to reinstall iTunes. I followed that, and it is better, but not perfect. It appears to be linked to whether or not I've checked for new podcasts since I started iTunes.
    So it's not a complete fix, but helped. Frankly, I wonder if it's a bug in this version of iTunes.

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my iPod into my computer but no one else's

    Hi everyone,
    Hopefully someone can help me out here. About a couple weeks ago (around the time the latest version of iTunes came out), my iPod (at the time I believe it was a 120GB iPod Classic. I've since replaced it with a 160GB iPod Classic.) would freeze up iTunes when I would plug it in (also if I open "Computer" in Windows Vista, that also freezes up).
    I've tried everything almost everything I've been able to find when Googling the subject: Restoring the iPod one of the few occasions I CAN get my computer to read it. I've replaced the iPod (120GB iPod Classic) with a brand new one (160GB iPod Classic). I've run Check Disk on both my computer AND my iPod. I've cleared out the temporary files on my computer. I've made sure that I have all of my updates for both Windows and iTunes. I've run virus scans, disk defragments, etc. The only thing I haven't done is re-format the iPod but since this is a BRAND NEW iPod, I didn't think it would be necessary.
    I also notice that when I bought my new iPod, it worked fine until I turned my computer off then turned it on the next day and I started running into the same problems again. Also, I've recently discovered that my iPod works fine on another computer so I'm thinking that my iPod isn't the problem.
    I'm trying to be as specific as possible here but if anyone needs any more details to help me out here, I'd more than happy to let you know.
    Thank you.
