Error or freeze when trying to add music to ipod.

I have had my ipod for over 2 years and havent had Too much trouble with it. But, right now i can't add songs to my ipod. It started out a few days ago when i hooked my ipod up to the comp through my usb and it said it can't read the ipod and i must restore it to factory settings. So i did that and it would only add about 100 of my songs to my ipod. i keep trying but it wont add more that a few songs. sometimes i get an error that says "cant read ipod"
please help.

Some have been able to resolve it by removing podcasts and/or rebuilding their iTunes library.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to add music onto iPod touch

          Newest iPod touch gen, newest iTunes updates. I plug in my iPod touch and go into iTunes, when i try to upload music to the ipod, it freezes up. I cant put any music on it. I tried re-installing itunes and i doesn't make a difference. My sister's ipod is doing the same thing, too.

    Try this:

    When trying to add music to a slide show from my PC to TV through Apple Tv the photos are fine but I get an error message that says the music cannot be downloaded.

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

  • Any Browser freezes when trying to add image finder pop-up

    Since updating to Mavericks, whenever I try to add images etc in ANY Browser, the finder popup freezes when I select Desktop for the image.
    I have found a work around, I created a folder, I called Images on the desktop, and when I copy any images etc into that folder, I can select the folder, and the contents to add to browser etc.
    This also works if I copy image to any other sidebar folder, ie documents.
    Sometimes works off desktop if I reboot imac, for a while.
    This is very annoying, and has only happened since 10.9 update
    I have to Force Quit on the browser, to continue using that Browser
    Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Camino, all the same. (Latest versions)

    I wasn't referring to this forum, but I've just tried to add image to this post , and the same problem shows.
    Choosing Desktop from finder pop-up sidebar, browser freezes then I have to force quit.
    Select any other sidebar item, including my folder "Image" from Desktop, works fine !!
    Funnily enough, because this forum adds image into the message, I can drag & Drop image here !!!
    But only in compose window, when I post message, the image disappears !
    However, this dooesn't bother me.
    My problem is with forums where images are added by an extra input below message body

  • Error code 80070022 and 80070057 when trying to backup music from iPod Classic

    Hello. I'm attempting to backup all of the music from my 80GB iPod Classic to my Windows Vista computer. My old computer (the one originally with the backed up music) died on me, so iTunes wont backup music from my iPod to the computer. So I am forced to either use a 3rd party transfer software or transfer the music from the iPod's file system. Attempting a backup either of these ways results in errors that prevent the computer from transfering 95% of the music. The 3rd party software offers no information about the error, but copy/pasting from the iPod file system to the PC returns the following errors:
    error code 0x80070022 (first error message)
    error code 0x80070057 (subsequent error messages for 95% of music files attempting to be copied)
    If I try transferring through the iPod's file system on my Macbook Pro, I get error code -36.
    I've tried restarting both the PC and iPod, and I've also tried the transfer in safe mode. Both attempts have not solved this problem. Most of the  12,000 songs on the iPod were ripped long ago from CDs I own. I've also painstakingly rated every one of these songs. I'm very worried that one day my iPod will crap out on me and the ratings will be gone forever and I'll have to spend tons of time reripping those CDs again. I've also googled this problem  and have found little help.
    Other details - this iPod was originlly set up on a WinXP PC. Addionally, I should note that I have no problems connecting to itunes or playing any of the music files. These errors are only preventing me from copying music files to my PC or Mac.
    Thank you in advance!

  • System-config-printer-gnome freezes when trying to "Add" a printer

    I have the same issue that was discussed in the thread system-config-printer-gnome utility freezes when "adding" printer. Specifically, when I try to add a printer using system-config-printer gui, the window freezes and throws back the following code:
    mechoid9@ordinateur:~$ system-config-printer
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/asyncipp.py", line 196, in send_reply

    physdev = model.get_value (iter, 1)
    TypeError: iter must be a GtkTreeIter
    The solution mentioned was to use the CUPS web interface. This lets me add a printer (which is part of the solution), this is not the complete solution. I've used the utility before, and I'm comfortable with it, and I think that I should be able to use the gnome utility to add the printer if everything on my system is up to date (which it is, as of this posting). I would like to know why it doesn't work anymore (and I'm of the impression that it has something to do with how I've installed python on my system).
    I've googled the issue, and perhaps I didn't look around thoroughly enough, but I couldn't find a solution. So if somebody knows where to look I'd be glad to look there.

    I have the same problem. I noticed that it occured only after installing the following driver packages.
    hpoj-0.91-16 hplip-3.11.3-1 net-snmp-5.6.1-1 foomatic-db-engine-4.0.6_20101215-1 foomatic-db-4.0.6_20101215-1
    I did a workaround by installing the printer using the webinterface, removing the drivers again, setting the samba login details and then reinstalling the drivers.
    But this problem should really be fixed.

  • ITunes keeps crashing when trying to add music! WHY?!

    This is getting annoying!! I uninstalled itunes, reinstalled it. I uninstalled quicktime, reinstalled it. I did the whole path thing where you had to put "C\:program files\apple blah blah" and STILL NOTHING. Every single time I try to add a song onto my library it just crashes. It opens fine but only when I add music! What is going on here?? It's been acting like this since I download the new update. HELP. Btw I have a windows 7

    Nevermind. I solved it myself. Someone delete this thread..or whatever.

  • Error 13019 when trying to sync music on iPod nano

    I've had my iPod nano for over a year, and just a few days ago, it has started to show me this error message
    whenever I try to add or remove music from my iPod.. Althought I've looked and it seems to be a somewhat common problem among Apple users, the instructions many have posted and the instructions in the Apple support section are not help to me. According to Apple support, to fix this problem you must:
    Select the device name  in iTunes under Devices.
    Click the Music tab and under the Sync music option, choose Selected playlists.
    Deselect the Voice Memos playlist.
    Click Apply and then click Sync.
    However, I do not have the "sync music" option checked,
    and I control my music manually. By checking this box and re-syncing my iPod, I would lose a lot of  the music on my iPod already. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong section?
    Does any one have another option or any ideas?

  • Itunes freezes when trying to transfer songs to ipod

    I attempted to sync my ipod to my itunes and it was going fine for the first 3000something songs and then itunes froze for a while, along with the rest of my comptuer. It wouldn't even allow me to force quit the program. After a few minutes, an error message popped up telling me that there was an error in attempting to coping my songs to the ipod and then it said "(-69)". I've tried to drag the songs on manually and in chunks. I thought it might have been a specific song that was messing up the transfer, so I didn't add the song at which the transfer stopped, but this didn't help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? my itunes did something similar (freezing for a bit and error message) when it says it's "determining gapless playback."
    Thank you.

    Hate when that happens. Just follow the steps in this article and it should fix it.
    Good Luck,

  • ITunes stays at waiting for changes to be applied when trying to sync music to iPod touch 5G iOS 7

    So ya im trying to sync music from my windows 7 pc with the latest versipon of itunes to my iPod touch 5G on iOS 7, but itunes just stays at Waiting for changes to be applied and then stops syncing, without ever syncing anything. HELP XD

    I figured it out I think, and I just want to try and confirm my theory. Do you ever sync your iPod with different computers?

  • Error -50 & -69 When trying to sync music Ipod Classic 160gb

    Hi everybody,
    I recently installed an x64 version of Windows 7 Ultimate. I have an Ipod Classic 160gb (late 2009), and i am trying to sync it to my itunes library. However, everytime i do so, it will copy across a few songs (a different number everytime, no more than 500 though) my Itunes freezes up (as well as the ipod). After a while, once it "comes back to life" i get either "Itunes cannot copy {Song Name} to {Ipod Name} Ipod. An unknown Error Occurred (-50)." or "Itunes cannot copy {Song Name} to {Ipod Name} Ipod. An unknown Error Occurred (-69)".
    Here is what i have tried:
    Enable Disc Use - No Luck
    Uninstall / Reinstall Itunes + Rebuild of Library - No Luck
    Uninstall Itunes, reinstall + Rebuild Library on Previous version (9.2) of Itunes - No Luck
    Kill APSDaemon.exe While synching - No Luck
    KIll all other Apple Services + Processes - No Luck
    Uninstall Antivirus - No Luck
    Reformat Ipod - No Luck
    Create a Virtual x32 environment of Windows 7, and recreate my library using the latest Itunes - No Luck
    Virtualize a Mac environment, and try on there - MAC OSX doesn't allow virtualization on a Windows "Base" (what a piece of ****) - SO, no luck
    Media Monkey Transfer - freezes up like a dead body, then just crashes.
    Manually transfer - Work sometimes, doesn't work otherimes. Seems to be Random.
    I know you are all going to say "oh, the song it get stuck on is corrupt". Well, it isn't. The song plays fine in Itunes if i go to investigate. When i go to my music "source" it is an actuall file, with an actual file size. I can also play it with VLC media player as well.
    Sync with my Dad's IMAC - Success. My Dad has 5.5gb of music (more than 500 songs). Although Ipod did get seem to get stuck on a couple of songs, it succesfully sync'ed
    Use Sharepod - Success (although, i have 2940 folders, and sharepod will only allow me to transfer one folder at a time) - So, No Luck
    I know the Ipod is fine because if i Sync via MAC or Sharepod, it will play music fine.Also, before the installation of the x64, it sync'd fine. It would be silly that an Ipod dies because i change my Windows Installation.
    Another thing, while in the act of Synching, the IPOD screen displays "Synchronising", then, it will just go to "Connected". On the MAC it stayed as "Synchronising" the entire time.
    Basically, i am at my wits end. I have tried everything i can think of.  I now have a very expensive paper weight, which is ******** me to tears.
    If anybody has any solutions, or ideas, i would love to hear them.
    Thanks,
    Lachlan

    You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also  done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
    You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
    In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
    Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other  USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
    Have a nice day!

  • My itunes freezes when trying to add a tv show/episode to my ipod. What can I do to resolve this?

    I got a new episode from Looney Tunes and it's called 'Odor-able Kitty/Scentimental Reasons'. After the 2nd day that I bought it, I decided to add it into my ipod nano, but as I did that, my iTunes freezes. I tried to exit it out, but it was no use. And when I was working on an Internet Explorer message, I tried to go back to iTunes but it won't let me. How can I figure out how to get my episode into my iPod without damaging iTunes?

    A little bit of history: Recently our storage folks migrated us from CLARiiON LUNs to VNX LUNs on all the shared disks. At the time, the cluster booted fine. However, since all the DID device IDs changed, we no longer have a valid quorum device:

    The old CLARiiON devices had array failover mode of 1 and the new devices have array failover mode of 4. Anyone know if that is an issue? I have MPxIO disabled in the fp.conf file.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's an update: Had the storage group change the failover mode on the VNX LUNs to mode 1 and everything was happy. All the disk are in the Ok status and I was able to replace the quorum device. Not sure if the C192718 error was due to the status of the disk or the array failover mode...
