Computer freezes when itunes podcasts are played

Downloaded 10.5 update can't sync iPod 4th gen or play podcasts on pc with out computer freezing and needing a hard restart. either unplug or hold buttton till shutsdown. Running Vista never had any problems with i tunes before. Deleted quicktime and safari because update says they are no longer neccesary.Had my son delete the ipod to factory reset just in case the ipod was corrupted.

Hi Bourne23,
Does the issue persist after updating iTunes?
Download and install the new iTunes version 8.1.1, which was released today.

  • Computer freezes when iTunes is started!

    I have been searching for possible solutions of this problem for a long time but still haven't found anything really helpful. This issue should probably be dealt with by crew members of the Apple tech support. I want to try help them as much as I can. So, here is the common factors of this problem. Some people, as well as me, have an external hard drive plugged in when they start iTunes. I think that's the most significant feature I noticed. There are usually no other signs of that something is wrong. Computer just freezes when iTunes starts (maybe after a few seconds). Secondly, I noticed, that if I was working on the computer for quite a long time before launching iTunes, its almost for sure thats it will freeze my comp. If I start it just after booting the comp, it may work fine for a long time, maybe even without freezing.
    I am very confused with this issue and I hope the members of the support will help solve it as soon as possible. I am seriously thinking of switching to another media player because I am quite fed up.

  • Computer freezes when importing CDs or playing songs through iTunes

    Hi! I have been searching for a solution to this problem, but have not had any luck. Whenever I try to import a CD to iTunes, my computer freezes. Just recently, my computer started freezing when I play songs through iTunes. I have noticed that some people have similar, if not the same, problem and any suggestions of things that may help are greatly appreciated!

    b noir,
    I also have had this same issue. In reading your reply, I've also saved my CD diagnostics....they are included below. I'm fairly convinced that my problem lies in the drive. It is causing WM Player to lockup as well. Please help....thanks.

  • ITunes and Computer freezes when ipod is connected

    When I connect my video ipod to my computer (dell desktop) the system freezes, as in it will not respond to mouse clicks and keyboard (but can still get to task manager). When I unplug the ipod it comes back to life. Programs always freeze, but sometimes I am able to navigate within windows without it freezing, but as soon as a program is brought up, my computer falls to its knees.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, and updater v. 1.1, (but I have not been able to update the firmware yet from v 1.0).
    The odd thing is last night I was able to download several gigs worth of music to it without incident. I then tried to load movies (they were in the wrong format, but I didn't know it at the time), and so in an effort to correct that I uninstalled itunes, the ipod drivers, and the ipod updater programs several times.
    I cannot update the ipod firmware because the computer freezes when the ipod is plugged in, so the program freezes as well. Kind of a catch 22 situation.
    I have been over the forums and help archives for about an hour and a half now and I have come up dry.
    Windows XP does recognize the ipod when the cable is connected, and the ipod flashes, "Do not disconnect", which it is supposed to do.
    I suspect this is drivers/software, but I have no idea where to go from here.
    Help?

    Hey!
    That EXACT thing happened to me! 2 nights ago I'm downloading like crazy, all is well. I got on LimeWire and downloaded some videos and tried to put them on my iPod. Imported them into iTunes then tried to put em on my iPod and it completely wiped out all my songs! So I get back on, put the songs back in, and about half way through the update the thing freezes. I've re-installed everything, and have reset my iPod. Did you figure out what to do? Maybe your fix will fix my problem, too.
    Thank you!

  • Why does my computer freeze when updateing if i have enough disk space and no disk repairs are needed?

    I have problems updating my softwarebecause my computer freezes when it restarts to install. I have enough disk space and I checked for disk repairs and everthing is ok. Still can't update and not my cumputer is taking longer to turn on. There is an earth blinking then i get the apple logo blinking before it turns on and this takes close to 5 minutes.

    When you say, "disk repairs" are you referiring to permissions or verifying the disk because clearly there's a problem.
    Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utilty to "verify" and if necessary repair the startup disk. (Not Verify Disk Permissions).

    Hi Grandmaz5,
    If you are having issues connecting to Facebook on your iPad, and you have already troubleshot the Facebook app itself, you may want to check the built-in iOS settings for Facebook; you may find the following article helpful:

  • Computer freezes following itunes update

    On 5th Jan 2011 I downloaded the most recent itunes update. Sine then my computer freezes when I open itunes. I have to force shutdown when this happens. What can I do to get this sorted?

  • Phone reboots when certain songs are played on the music app?

    on my iphone 5c, if i try playing certain songs in my music app, they play for a few seconds and then my entire phone reboots. i have a lot of music on my phone and all of the songs that do this are from the same album. it also didn't start doing this until after i updates to ios 8. i've tried looking elsewhere to see if someone else has had this problem but i've come up empty. its really inconvenient because i can't even listen to those songs now. i've also noticed that its only when i have headphones or an auxiliary cord plugged into my phone.

    Hi princessruto,
    If you are having issues with your restarting when certain songs are played through headphones, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why does screen freezes when I attempt to play certain songs in my library

    Why does my screen Freeze when I attempt to play certain songs I have downloaded from CDs into my library?
    I have just received my Nano and I'm unsure if I want this to keep happening

    Apple removed my previous post because I referenced jailbreaking which is a violation of the TOS.  Sorry about that! 
    That said, I can't think of any way to get around the file size limitation.  I suppose itunes match isn't really meant to give you access to play all your songs anywhere.  It instead gives you the opportunity to download your songs via wifi when you aren't at home.  I can't see that it makes any difference one way or the other to Apple but it obvioiusly would make a difference to the wireless provider. 
    So now, my question is whether this happens on with all carriers.  I have experienced this on AT&T.  Does anyone here have Verizon or Sprint?

    I don't know how but after two hours of trying to sync, Somehow the files that I wanted to transfer, worked. I don't know how or If I got another -54 but, all I know is that this has happened alot. I usually take hours to sync stuff. I figured this out at the last moment trying to transfer all my photos trying to create a clean slate. I somehow found my files on there.
