IPhone connected to Mac, iTunes freezes when selecting PODCASTS tab

So I upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and iOS7 (running OSX 10.8.5) and my podcasts and smart playlists did not sync. (I do not use the Podcats app because I have so many podcast-related folders and smart-folders.) Every time I click on the PODCASTS tab when the iPhone 5 is connected iTunes freezes and I have to Force Quit the app.
I've fixed permissions, run Disk Utility, restarted... nothing helps. This seems to specifically be an iTunes problem.

So I just spent an hour restoring my iPhone, then restoring from backup (40Gb filled in a 64Gn iPhone takes a while). Very interestingly, I watched all my podcasts get copied into my iPhone but they are not accessible from the Music app, nor are they found when doing a Spotlight search!
I downloaded Apple's Podcast app and they seemed to appear there (couldn't tell for sure, app is confusing and it was accessing Wifi so I diodn't know what it saw, or if it was fetching files). But of course that app has no smart folders and accessing new podcasts and podcasts based on time-length is impossible.
Oh yes, after the restore I tried clicking on the Podcasts tab and iTunes froze up again....

ITunes freeze when on podcasts tab

I have a problem with the latest itunes 10.2. When i load itunes podcast tab it freezes. To sucessfully relaunch itunes, i need to delete the itunes.plist file in library/preferences directory and once i try to reload the podcast folder it freezes again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? i deleted itunes and reinstalled with no success.

As you may notice if you search the support discussions you will see that many of us share exactly the same problem. It started I think, after the last Windows 7 update but it may have started after I loaded the Itunes update. Anyway it I first noticed it last week. i.e. after 9th May. ..
We are all waiting for an Apple Fix.
APPLE, PLEASE ATTEND TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM

IPad Air connected to iTunes - freezes when selecting movies, podcasts, etc.

New iPad Air connected to the latest update of iTunes, syncing just fine. When I select the iPad and then go to Summary - no problem, go to Apps - no problem, go to Podcasts - FREEZE. iTunes has to be shutdown using Task Manager and the iPad reconnected. The only sync settings areas I can look at are Summary, Apps, Books, Photos...any other sync setting area causes a FREEZE.
I've tried re-installing iTunes, resetting my iPad, etc., etc., etc.
Any helpful suggestions?

ITunes freeze when updating podcasts

I am subscribed to 4 podcasts on my itunes client, however, when one of the four updates, it stops almost instantly and itunes freezes up. I have tried reinstalling/repairing itunes with no luck. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. It started when I was running out of disk space, so I removed a number of my subscriptions and their related podcasts. I now have about 5GBs free out of 40GB drive and 512 RAM on a Sony Vaio. I was going to attempt to eliminate one podcast at a time to see which one might be causing the problem, but I can't stop the automatic updates before it locks up. The reason it locks up I believe is that it ***** up every bit of memory and CPU time I have. It didn't do that when I had a lot more subscriptions, so I don't think that's the problem. The only extraneous thing I've done is load REAL player. Anyone know the name of the settings file that I could either delete or edit manually to stop it from autoupdates until I find the problem?

ITunes freezes when selecting "Add file to library" or "Add folder....

Not had a problem before and everything worked fine.
But this morning if I select "Add file to library" or "Add folder to library" nothing happens and itunes just freezes.
I can play music already in the library.
Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem. If I select the Add to Library option, the dialog box will open and then hang. I get the spinning wheel of death and nothing happens. I have to force quit and try again. It seems to have something to do with the sidebar menu list and I've noticed a slowing in other apps as it loads the sidebar in these dialog boxes.

please advice what is to be done to repair it.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

Although not illegal, Apple discourages a user from modifying the iPhone OS in any manner, including "jailbreaking". Apple feels so strongly about this that discussing methods to assist a user trying to either jailbreak or "unjailbreak" an iPhone are prohibited.

Problem with new ITune 7.01, Itunes freezes when I connect my nano!

I just installed the latest Itune software update and my nano update, after the upgrade Itune when I connected the nano, it said it was corrupted and asked me if I wanted to restore it. I said yes, now everytime I try to connect my nano via a USB cable, Itunes freezes. How do I fix this issue? I am wondering if I need to have the lastest version of the nano for version 7.01 of Itunes to work, yet everytime I try to connect my nano, Itunes freezes?! Can anyone help me?

My itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....help!!

I have installed the new update (Windows 8 64 bit) & my itunes freezes when I connect my ipod.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

ITunes freezes when opeining if connected to the internet

I have a problem that started this weekend. If I am connected to the internet, my iTunes freezes when I open it. It just gets stuck with the spinning beach ball. Any idea what might be causing this? I'd guess its something to do with syncing to icloud, but i tried disabling the auto download music & apps in preferences, and that didn't help

I am totally stuck on the same issue and have been for almost a year. Auto downloads and genius are disabled. I'm using a iMac and have upgraded to Lion OS 10.7.3. Being on an iMac means I can't uninstall iTunes but I am now on iTunes 10.6.1 (7). Think that's the latest.
If I disconnect from the internet I can use iTunes no problems but that kind of defeats the purpose of the store and I liked being able to control iTunes from my iPhone!
I've restarted literally tens of times.
Anyone that can help? should i raise another thread?
Thanks!
