60G Ipod, new iTunes locks up my computer when syncing?

What the heck???!!! i have a 60G photo ipod and after updating w/the new iTunes 7 software my computer immediatly freezes when syncing. I already tried reseting ipod, also restored ipod no use. I've got 20G of music i want to download to ipod and i can't?
Can someone help please?
Thanks!

I also am having problems updating my 60GB ipod photo.
With itunes 6 it would take 5-10 minutes to update.
I waited until 7.0.1 was released thinking that the patch would have addressed the bugs in v7. However now my ipod takes 2.5 hours to update (even when no changes have been made). This performance can not be blamed on any other software as itunes is the only app that has been updated.
Itunes uses 85% of my CPU for around 2 hours before any ipod activity occurs. So it may appear that it has hung but will eventually get there. The PC is unusable though during this time.
I can't believe apple didn't detect these issues during testing.
Does anyone know if apple are addressing/acknowledging this problem and when an update/workaround is likely to be released.
Spending 2.5 hours every day to update my ipod is not acceptable.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Or maybe:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1206 Can I sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" Itunes or should I just set up a new Itunes account on her computer???

I just tried to sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" ITunes. Bad mistake!! I guess "my" itunes thought her phone was mine and "somehow" went into "restore" mode and basically turned "her" phone into mine - ie. contacts, photos, etc.
Can your have two phones one Itunes?? Or should I just open a new Itunes account on her computer and "start" from scratch?? If I do the later, how do I transfer all the music on "my" Itunes to hers???

You can sync as many iphone/ipads/ipods as you like to one computer/library.

Old Ipod New Itunes

Going through my room i found a very old Ipod Mini, and i want to see what music ihad on it, but the screen is totaly cracked and you cant see anything, when i plugg it into my comouter nothing happens, is there anything i can do? or is it a lost cause?

Hey...
I've got this really annoying problem I cannot solve.
My iPod shuffle was and still is working properly,
but I've got a new computer now and new iTunes on
that same computer. When I connect my iPod to this
new computer it recognizes it, but doesn't want to
work (transfering music etc.) unless I restore my
iPod. I tried to do that but my iPod was restoring
for about 5 hours, and then I gave up cause obviously
something was wrong. Can anyone tell me how can I use
my iPod on two computers??
Bad news... the Shuffle only syncs to one iTunes (and computer) at a time. Each time you synce it to a different one, the contents are wiped...
And why doesn't it want to
restore properly??
Don't know... but you could try the Reset Utility:

Do you have enough storage space on your iPad?

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

My ipod Touch is NOT uploading info to my computer when syncing

I have had this iMac in the genius bar TWICE in 24 hours...and of course they just did their "job" by just reinstalling the OS..I could have done that at home and saved me all that trouble...a corrupt file was picked up online and it messed with everything,not opening Safari(I do not like it anyway)...but now I am doing just the SIMPLE things to get back my computer & iTouch....and it is not uploading data I input on the iPod to the computer when syncing. I have had an Apple computer(s) for over 20 years...and this is the worse one ever, even thinking of switching brands, it's that BAD!
Thanks for help!

Welcome to the discussions,
can you sync your purchases from the ipod to iTunes? Try to download a free app using the ipod and choose "Transfer purchases" in the File menu in iTunes when you have connected your device. Disable autosync first. Also make sure your iMac is authorized in the Store menu and you did a reset of the sync history in iSync/settings. Make sure to have at least one contact set up in your address book on your mac before you sync your contacts.

ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
-Plugging in your iPod to your PC
-Ignore the error messages
-Go to My Computer
-Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
-Right-click on it and select Properties
-Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

Okay. Basically my itunes screws up my computer when i load it.

hey guys,
Okay. Basically my itunes screws up my computer when i load it up. Its quite hard to explain, but loading it up seems to cause my computer to fluxuate between frozen and unfrozen, makeeverything go 100x slower, and then i have to restart my computer before anything works properly again. This doesnt happen for ANTHING else. JUST itunes. Also, when i try to play music on youtube or itunes after loading it,ever 5 seconds it makes a noise like a computer jamming while playing a noise, its really wierd and hard to explain. I downloaded itunes 9 and it seemed to work ok, but wasnt compatible with my ipod. All eversians of itunes 10 screw it up.
thanks to anyone who gives up their time to help me, you have no idea how much it means! thanks!

I dont know what you mean with modname, modver , BEX or P1 to P9 ?
Good gracious ... you're seeing something radically different from what I see if I click on the "Click here" link in an equivalent sort of message.
For example, I can generate a "Safari has encountered a problem" message by setting Safari to run in Windows 95 compatibility mode:
... but when I click the "click here" link, what I see is:
(If the error was a BEX, I'd see the P1 through P9 things where my screenshot is showing AppName, AppVer, ModName, ModVer and Offset.)
I'm not sure how to interpret the information in your screenshots. So I'd like to check some other information to see if that helps with determining what is going on.
(1) What make and model of PC do you have?
(2) Fingers crossed, screenshots might help with the following thing. (I'm not sure what the items are called on a French localisation of Windows XP.) In your Start Menu, right-click My Computer and select Manage:
Now select "Device Manager":
Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives":
What make and model of DVD/CD-ROM drive shows for you there? (Where my one shows "Mashita DVD/CDRW UJDA775"?)

how do i sync my iphone with new itunes? I cant find the sync button

The same way you would sync with any other version of iTunes.
Connect the device.
Select the device.
Select Sync.
In the new version of iTunes, the sidebar is disabled by default. With a device connected, it will be listed in the upper right hand corner.
If you want the side bar back, type Cntrl + S.

I have 10.5.8 and want to install the new itunes 10.7, in order to sync the new nano , but i am unable to. Do I have to upgrade to snow leopard in order to sync new nano?

I have an imac (2009) with OS X 10.5.8 and i need to install the new itunes (10.7) in order to sync my new nano (7th generation). Do I have to upgrade my software to Snow Leopard in order to run itunes 10.7? How to I go about this?

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
