4G iPod problems after installing iTunes 7.3.1

Immediately after I upgraded iTunes to 7.3.1, my 4G iPod ceased to sync correctly. It's not in disk mode, and it's set to sync automatically (not manually managed). The battery is fully charged. Nevertheless, the sync process never seems to complete. "Do Not Disconnect" blinks continually (for hours at a time), and trying to eject the iPod from the Finder or from iTunes results in iTunes hanging or crashing.
If I reset the iPod while it's disconnected, it seems fine after the reboot, but the sync problem persists. Nothing changes if I let iTunes launch automatically when I connect the iPod instead of connecting it while iTunes is already running - same sync issue. I also tried restoring the iPod, but got the "iPod could not be restored" error in iTunes. I've tried rebooting the computer itself, also.
Any suggestions? Is this even an iPod problem (as opposed to an iTunes problem)? My iPhone is having no syncing problems, for what it's worth.

Sorry, I am going to be no help to you. I just wanted to chime in that I am havng the exact same problem since updating Itunes to 7.3.1. I can only sync a few songs before things hang as you described. I was able to restore my Ipod once, but still have the same syncing issue. Mine is a 20 gig 4G.
When it's hung trying to sync, you can here some funky noises coming from the Ipod, I thought the harddrive was just going out on it. It also gets hot if you let it keep trying to sync once it gets stuck. But, if I do a reset and connect it again, it will sync a few more songs, then hang up again.

Ipod frozen - after installing itunes 7-

after installing itunes 7 - and installing ipod - the screen read "ipod updated" - ejected ipod - BUT now the screen on ipod reads "do not disconnect" and is frozen, I can't turn it off or on etc. I can't get it to respond despite restarting computer.
so do I take the previous advice of draining the battery and trying again??

Problem after installing iTunes 10.3

After I installed iTunes 10.3 as an update my HDD has seemed considerably slower in general, all applications run slower, even after running Onyx and Disk Utility. Rebooting takes over a minute longer, (I have no network or power issues) . How do I remove this update or otherwise get my mac working properly?

I experiment exactly the same problem of general slowing, especially at startup. But I have nothing like

I've received a new Ipod and after installing Itunes it takes over my PC's processor. I tunes and Applemobiledevice software are the two offending items.

As an pod newbie I'm falling at the first hurdle. I've installed itunes directly from the Apple website, but it takes over my system resources completely. I can get it to see my Ipod, but the sync option is greyed out in the menu.
Surely Itunes and Applemobiledevice cannot be that system hungry. My PC is unusable with itunes running.
I've made sure windows is up to date and I've uninstalled & re-installed itunes - all to no effect.
Help please!

Problem after installing Itunes 7.0.2

I've spent several hours over the past two weeks trying to revive my iPod (20GB clickwheel, about 2 years old) after the 7.0.2 update sent the thing into a death spiral. The computer would only intermittently even recognize the iPod, and even when it did the computer would eventually just freeze. I tried most every bit of advice around
I have restored once but now every time I connect ipod to PC, itunes either doesnt recognise ipod OR if it does, it tells me to restore but freezes up everything when I try to.I suspect my problem is the latest version of itunes which I downloaded in order to restore.
What can I do?

Jack i have the same problem to. like you i've been trying to fix if for two weeks. I'm trying everything to get this resolved! What i've done so far is uninstall itunes 7 and revert back to the orignal itunes that came with the ipod. As we speak i'm trying to do a long format to see if this helps. Fyi I had managed to sync itunes that came with the ipod and sucessfully managed to load some songs but they kept skiping. If i stumble on a solution i'll post it on this forum. good luck and god speed

Xp home simply lacks a built in GUI permissions tool in regular mode, so you have to manipulate
permissions via the command line or by entering safe mode or by some third party app.
I use a free 3rd party app from Native Computer Systems called ACLView. Native Computer

How do I sync my 3rd gen ipod touch after installing the latest version of itunes?

How do I sync my 3rd gen ipod touch after installing the latest version of itunes?

Correction: Thank you FoxFifth for the good information. I did find this information earlier before landing here in the support community. I have come to the end and I am uncertain about trying to reset my I-pod touch to the factory settings. I was satisfied with the older version of i-tunes. Can someone direct me how to downgrade i-tunes perhaps?

IPod constantly turning off and on after installing iTunes 7

I have a shuffle, a color nano, and I think a second generation "touch wheel" ipod. I installed iTunes 7 and tried to hook up the second generation iPod. It turned on, said "do not disconnect" and then went bezerk. Now, when you plug it in, the only thing it does it start up, give the apple logo, make a clicking noise, go blank, and then repeat until it burns all its battery power.
I tried resetting it, nothing. The thing is, it worked fine with iTunes 6.
An interesting note, my nano wouldn't connect with iTune 7 either. Gave me the same weird problems and wouldn't startup. Installed the update, now the nano works with 7.1, but the second generation seems.....dead. Suggestions?

After installing itunes 10.5 itunes wont open it says i have an error , i need help so i can update my ipod , HELP!!

after instaling itunes 10.5 i cant open itunes , my pc says its an error . . what do i do ?

In order to download iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8, you have to buy OS X 10.6. It's available from the online Apple store, in the US by calling 800-MY-APPLE, or online here. After OS X 10.6 installation, run Software Update until there are no more updates available, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can install iTunes 10.7.

IPhone is no more visibile in My Computer after installing iTunes 8

Hi all, after installing iTunes 8, iPhone isn't visible anymore in my Computer section in Windows. Previously, when I connected it, it was recognized as a photocamera and, from my Computer, i could access to it to see the photos that are stored on the iPhone.
Now, instead, iPhone isn't displayed anymore: except for this, it works correctly; iTunes 8 recognizes it and synchronizes it.
Notice: after the iTunes upgrade, when I've connected the iPhone for the first time, Windows says that he has found a new hardware and installed a new driver for an Apple Mobile Device USB.
Has someone else experienced my problem? Thanks in advance!

im having the exact opposite problem....my 3g is recognized inmy computer as a camera..but isnt recognized in itunes?
i have no pics downloaded from emails (as i researched this before)
the other night had same problem, had to restore phone, and re-install itunes..then no problem...but tonite trying to add new music and same thing again.
disabled iphone under imaging devices, and its only listed under usb controllers...computer recognizes it every time
there has to be a better way than restoring/reinstalling everytime?..has to be some little catch?
HELP!
FYI, i phone not being used as phone, being used as ipod, and only using wifi..has no sim installed.
