Dual Dock Locks-Up iTunes

Hi all
My dual dock seems to keep locking-up iTunes.
It first happened last week when I connected my iPhone to my Mac when it was sleeping, the Mac woke-up and started iTunes but it didnt allow iTunes to fully open and altough it did come-up "waiting for iPhone" on the screen it never went any further.
As far as the Mac was concerned iTunes was open and if I hit play on my keyboard it would play a song but there was no actual program screen.
To get iTunes to open I had to restart the Mac and then it worked perfectly, quiting iTunes and then opening it again would not fix it.
This would happen everytime I connected the iPhone to the Mac when it was asleep or in screen saver state. I tried unplugging the dock and then reconnecting it, putting it into another USB port, went out and bought a new USB hub, connected it straight to the Mac USB port.... everytime it locked-up iTunes.
In the end I am now using the old iPhone dock and am charging the headset with the travel charger. iTunes has not locked-up since and I have plugged the iPhone into the old dock about 20 times with the Mac asleep and it starts iTunes fully everytime.
I am sure there is no fix for this but it would be nice to be able to use the dual dock without it causing problems to iTunes.

I'm having these problems when the dual dock is plugged into a powered USB hub, but not when plugged directly into my Mac.
Unfortunately there are too many devices that only work when directly plugged into the Mac (especially since Leopard) and the 3 USB ports I have just aren't enough.

  • HT4972 since update to IOS 5.1.1  -  problem with iluv IMM173 DUAL DOCK ALARM CLOCK DOCKING STATION. - CRASHES WHENEVER UPDATED IPHONE 4S CONNECTED

    Hi, since most recent update (IOS 5.1.1) to my iphone 4s, I am experiencing problems(ONLY SINCE MOST RECENT IOS 5.1.1.UPDATE) with my 'iluv' IMM173 DUAL DOCK ALARM CLOCK DOCKING STATION.
    Every time I connect my iphone it causes the docking station to crash/freeze and become totally non-responsive. However, if I remove my iphone, then connect my wife's
    iphone 4 (IOS 5.0.10) The docking station then syncs time and date as normal with the iphone, and reverts back to function normally.
    Has anyone else experienced the problem please, and if so, is there a remedy ?

    1.  I cannot open my camera from the home screen.  The icon is there but when you click on it it shakes and starts to open up but than slides down back to the home screen.  I have tried closing the camera app resetting my phone but nothing seems to fix it.   I can still open up the camera regularly by unlocking the phone first and than going to the camera app.  But the camera button on the home screen just doesn't work for me anymore.  I know with 5.1 they made it where it wont disappearing from the home screen so my guess is the issue must be related to that somehow.
    From the locked screen, swipe the camera icon upwards to open the camera app.  This is a new feature in 5.1.

  • Ipod not showing up, locks up iTunes

    I'm sure this is an old question but I bought a used Ipod mini and everything worked great for a while so I don't think it's a bad iPod. Downloaded iTunes 7.7 and got songs sent over and it worked fine for a week. Today the computer won't recognize the iPod and when I plug it in it locks up iTunes. I see the iPod in the device manager and it says it's working properly. Also the songs on the iPod vanished today as well. Nothing has happened (dropped, damaged, etc) so I'm at a loss. I tried uninstalling 7.7 and installing 7.6 but no difference. help! Like I said it worked great before, now nothing.

    Thanks!

    hey
    i finnaly got it to work i tried restarting it 2 times and it finnaly connected.
    hope this can help some people.
    i think since so many people are having this problem they should tell you how to fix it in the manual it comes with.
    it would be alot quicker and LESS browsing and reading.

  • 2 Gen Nano locks up iTunes 7.02 (15)

    I attach my Nano to my iBook G4, running the latest version of iTunes. After syncing, the Nano sometimes locks up, usually not right away, while still in the cradle/dock. It also locks up iTunes at the same time.
    I also have a 3 Gen iPod and a 2 Gen Shuffle that work great with no problem.
    I have the latest firmware on the Nano, and have reset it several times.
    This problem causes me to force-quit iTunes, and even sometimes force-quit doesn't work and I have to restart the iBook to recover.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Hi,
    close - I'm running the exact same ver of iTunes and with me it's the iTunes that just vanishes when i touch any folder other than the Nano with the Nano connected. The Nano stays okay and just resumes a normal menu instead of Do Not Disconnect

  • How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes is playing?

    How can I make a "Keyboard Lock" while iTunes or other apps are playing? They should work/play on, screen should still be on, only keyboard is (maybe Password-) locked.
    Thanx in adv, tttimo

    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts Application Shortcuts > + > Application: Browse to Pages > Menu Title: Footnote > Keyboard Shortcut: hit combination of keys > Add
    You will need to restart Pages but should then see it next to your Menu item.

  • Trying to upgrade OS on an original iPad.  Screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons.  Connected to iTunes and get an error 3014 message stating it cannot be restored and screen is locked in this mode.  How do I unlock?

    Trying to update OS on an original iPad.  Connected to iTunes -- screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons.  iTunes says must restore to default settings, but receive an error message 3014 that this cannot be done.  Cannot unlock screen to use nor can I update or restore, so iPad not usable at this point.  How can I unlock screen so I can use iPad, how do I fix this error?  Latest version of iTunes is downloaded and I've followed all the instructions in regard to Windows.  I'd at least like to unlock iPad so it can be used.  Thanks.

    bummer. *Note that if you are actually running iOS 5.1.1, that's it for the iPad 1st Gen.

  • Can't sync new iPhone 4 with iTunes without it locking up iTunes

    Got my new iPhone 4 last Friday. They tell me I need to register it and sync it. Didn't get around to trying that until yesterday. Tried most of the day and night last night, using iTunes 9.whatever it was. Kept on locking up iTunes. Tried deleting iTunes, reinstalling it and trying again. Didn't work. Even trying to register the phone made iTunes lock up.
    Downloaded iTunes 10 last night. Have the same situation, BUT, it finally did allow me to finally register my phone this afternoon. Thought the problem was solved. Still won't allow me to sync.
    Sync starts up (took it off the auto-sync setting) and it says it is going to backup the device - Step 1. Sometimes the progress bar moves 1/4 inch, sometimes 1/2 inch. Sometimes it just has the moving pattern on it. Once or twice, it actually got to Step 2, whatever that is. It always locks up. I've left it running for hours... still won't work.
    Was told to delete iTunes, restart, delete trash and reinstall it. Tried that SEVERAL times, still didn't work. Was told to delete some other files (the IT guy was standing beside me because I have NO clue as to what to do with these files) - at least 1 file from the Library and not certain where the others were. That didn't work either. It just keeps on locking up iTunes and quite often, when I check with Force Quit, it shows that iTunes isn't responding. I repaired disk permissions. Didn't work. I unchecked what to sync - just trying to sync Apps now, and it still doesn't work.
    All software is up-to-date on both the phone as well as my MBP. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
    Just tried it again and just plugging in the iPhone caused the beach ball to start spinning. I've GOT to be doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    After purchasing a new iPhone 5S I had a problem syncing iTunes with the iPhone...At the Apple Store, the Service Rep backed up my iPhone to iCloud in order to transfer all data from the old phone to the new phone. At home when I tried to sync iTunes with my new iPhone 5S, iTunes would not recognize my new phone. I discovered iTunes was configured to back up data to my Mac hard drive and the iPhone was configured to back up data to iCloud. There was a conflict, subsequently causing iTunes to not recognize my new iPhone 5S. My solution was to delete iCloud from the iPhone. After doing this, iTunes synced with the iPhone with no problems. No data was lost and syncing occurred normally.
    I recommend these as possible solutions:
    1) The Apple store will back up your phone using iCloud. Make sure that iTunes is configured to back up to iCloud before you plug your new phone into iTunes for syncing/back-up. If your iTunes is configured to back up data to your hard drive, ensure that the Apple Store does not back up your phone data to iCloud. You will have to back up all iPhone data yourself at home on iTunes.
    2) If they insist on backing up your phone data to iCloud from your old phone to your new phone then, be sure to delete the iCloud account off your new phone before you try to sync your new phone to iTunes.
    I used the 2nd solution to solve my syncing issues. Everything works great now. iTunes recognized my new phone and can now sync/back-up data with out problems, error messages or loss of data.
    Hope this helps everyone out! I intend to get drunk to relieve all the stress and hopefully restore my sanity as a result of having to solve this problem while having to act as my own Apple support staff!

  • Ipod not recognized in Windows and locks up iTunes

    When I connect my ipod to my pc with itunes open it does not recognize it as an ipod most times, other times it says that it needs to be reformatted to windows. Then it usually locks up itunes. If I connect the ipod first, windows thinks its a removable usb storage device not an ipod. Then if I try and start itunes after it is connected, itunes does not come up on the screen but the process is running in task manager.
    I have hooked the ipod up to other pcs with no issues. I have tried the 5 R's and have gone as far as to reformat my pc and load itunes first. Still the same problems! I have talked to support and they were also unable to help.
    Only twice has it every connected and been recognized, initially after the reimage and the very first time, but that its.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

    Happened to me. Read through this fully before you try any of it.
    What i did was go to >start
    Settings>adminstration tools>computer management.
    From in here go to disk management under the storage option the right. A list of all the connect hard drives will show. There will be two partitions for your ipod, one will be unallocated, ignore this as its the firmware. The other partition should have the size of your drive on it and say (Healthy). If it doesn't format this partition only! If it does show up reset it by pressing menu and select together. Then i put it into disc mode. The pc show see it now.
    What i did next was to remove the ipod, reset, put it into disc mode and let Itunes recognise it. Don't load anything onto it.
    Go to the restore button and restore the firmware.
    That's what i did and it's working again.
    If it doesn't help I am really sorry and email apple directly.

  • Dual dock no longer pairs/charges BT headset

    Since the most recent update (it seems), the dual dock doesn't recognize my Apple BT headset. It doesn't show the charge status on the iPhone like it used to and the actual charge on it has been spotty at best.
    I just tried dual charging on the "travel cord" and it paired the headset right away and the charging icon appeared.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    I only recently bought mine and I was already updated to 1.1.2 and had no problems in the beginning. Now, I can't seem to charge both the phone and the headset at the same time. I can charge the phone OR the headset but not both at the same time. My solution was to reboot the iPhone and that didn't work, then I tried unpairing the headset and re-pairing and that didn't work. Finally, I unplugged the USB cradle and plugged it back into the computer's USB port again and then it worked right. Now it charges both again and I have my headset battery indicator back on my phone showing the charge level.
    Not really sure why I didn't try unplugging before but try it and see if it works for you.

  • So i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???

    so i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???

    If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer.  Do this to Reset your shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Start up computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle.
    If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

  • Hard drives in dual dock keep ejecting

    I had 2 spare 3.5" 2TB internal drives, new, so I bought a dual dock/enclosure to put them in to connect it to my Mac Mini for an easy 4TB of storage.
    I bought this one, as it claimed to be Mac compatible:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00D1NR9MA/
    All seemed well, both drives show on my OS X desktop as 2 separate drives.  However after a few weeks, I noticed they had both disappeared from the desktop in OS X (i.e. ejected).  There was no usual OS X warning about not ejecting the disc properly, so I assume they were ejected by the OS.
    The unit was still powered up ok, so after unplugging/plugging back in, they showed up again, but the same thing happened after a week or so.
    I tried a different USB3 cable, same problem.
    I contacted Inateck, who said it must be faulty and kindly sent me a new unit.  Exact same problem.
    Any idea what's going on?
    Thanks

  • Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too.

    Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.

    It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days.   The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

  • IPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter + dual dock(bt)?????

    has anyone tried this? I had iphone and apple bt(which *****),
    dualdock was good as it could hold both of them and keep them pair.
    Now things got ugly, 3g iphone doesn't come with dock, and they sell 3g dock
    but not 3g dual dock, so I have to either use travel cable or put 3g iphone
    in 3g dock and bt in dual dock(or travel charger), which is completely
    waste of space and usb port.
    So how's this combo? iPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB546G/A?fnode=home/shopiphone/iphone_accessories/cablesdocks&mco=MTI3Mzc4Mg&p=1&s=topSellers ) + dual dock
    does it work? has anyone tried? I'm sure it will look ugly but if there's
    no plan for 3g dual dock, then I'd try it...

    Thank you for your response -- (its my first ever response) -- Universal Docks that have the large round IR window on the front are OLD Universal Docks and they will not work, they are for the older ipods before the video ipods came out. They also have a SVIDEO port in back. again these are for the old ipods. the newer Universal Docks have a small slot for a IR window and these are the new NON_SVIDEO versions and they my friend do work with the iphone/video ipods and of course the latest Iphone 3g -- if you purhcase the latest AV cables that connect at the bottom of the device...

  • HT1349 iMatch keeps locking up iTunes as it tries to set itself up on my PC...

    I am using iTunes, and trying to set up iMatch, and it keeps locking up iTunes when matching songs to the store and uploading my songs that are not in the store. It just won't finish and basically shuts down iTunes in the process... Apple online support keeps asking me for my serial #, but my main computer is a PC. I use an iphone and ipad to sync with my computer's itunes and thought iMatch might be the way to go to get everything together...

    Hello there, deelish.
    A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    The pertinent section for you would be:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
