  • My 2G iPhone when connected makes iTunes freeze

    When I connect my old iPhone (I have 2, both active, the new 3G and original iPhone) it makes iTunes freeze, this happens when I click cancel on a "iPhone camera connected what action would you like to perform" window. So then it doesn't register on my iTunes cause it's frozen then I unplug it and it registers but now it's unplugged then iPhone icon disappears as if I unplugged it which by this point I have, and in the end the iTunes unfreezes but I'm not connected.

    You should be able to just click on the device's current name on the left-hand side of iTunes and type in the new name

  • I updated iTunes and now my 160 GB iPod Classic makes iTunes freeze.

    I have done everything from resetting the iPod to uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.  I have formatted and reformatted the iPod.  The iPod actually works, I can go through and fix the settings to my liking.  But when I go to sync with my iTunes, iTunes freezes and I have to reboot the entire computer to be able to use iTunes again.  I just can't plug in the iPod.
    I have also tried a different computer, with the new iTunes and different cords as well.  This makes me afraid to even try to sync my iPhone.
    Help!  What do I do?!

    If you get a message that says Ipod_control is corrupt you should put you Ipod into Disk mode by 1st holding pressing the MENU AND SELECT buttons at the same time util the apple logo appears. Then press the SELECT button and PLAY/Pause buttons at the same time until it goes into disk mode. Once that happens connect it to your computer and you will see your Ipod as an external drive. Right click on the IPOD drive Icon and select properties, then slect tools, then select error checking, then select fix file system errors, then slect OK. Once the system files are fixed, this will take a while, your Ipod will be recognized by Itunes like it use too. I know this is a pain, but its the only thing I could figure out and it worked. Good luck!

  • IPod Classic "Verifying" Makes Itunes freeze

    Well since the itunes 9 update or whatever whenever i plug in the USB cord to my ipod (not just mine I've tried all my friends) my itunes freezes up; but when i unplug the USB coord from the ipod itunes stops freezing and runs normally. So i cant even add songs.
    any solutions?

    I am having a similar issue, for about a week or so (first major ipod issue in almost 2 years). When I plug in my ipod classic, iTunes freezes/ gives me the spinning beach ball. This lasts for about an hour, during which time itunes is unusable. After an hour or so, the ipod is recognized by itunes and syncs properly.
    I have re-installed itunes, used older versions, created a new library, and restored my ipod.
    My iPod works fine on other machines, and other ipods seem to work on my computer as well. The issue seems to be unique to my ipod/computer account combo.
    Apple Genius Bar was able only to confirm that my iPod seemed to be functioning normally, and perhaps I had a corrupt library (I don't, as the problem persists with a new library).
    If anyone has any advice on what could be the issue (a corrupt user/system file hidden somewhere?) it would be greatly appreciated. THanks

  • IPhone (3G) & iTunes freezing up!!!

    Is anyone experiencing a desktop freeze (iMac) when iPhone 3G is connected to iTunes? This issue is REALLY ******* me off!!! Could this be an iTunes issue? Someone PLEASE point me in the right direction. The only thing I haven't done is RESET my iPhone. I heard a lot of people are doing that. I read some other posts on firmware (VERSION in General / About) for iPhone. It seems the 2.0 (5A347) is current. So what's the deal? I tunes is up to date, iMac software up to date, iPhone 3G up to date ... ***!?!?!

  • I-pod makes itunes freeze and doesn't connect!!!!!

    Everytime i plug my i-pod nano into my computer, it freezes my i-tunes and it doesn't connect to it. How do I get it to be recognized???

    I have exactly the same problem since 2 days: My iPod 4G (40 GB) died. More specificly, the harddrive is out of order. I formated it, updated via the iPod update application, but it still has severe problems and they become worse. For example, I can hear the iPod trying to start several times until it is up and running (sometimes it never makes it). Or, when I copy songs on it it suddenly freezes. Or, when I try to play a song, it is not able to open it. As I said, it's dead or at least dying.
    It is out of warrenty, however, I got this iPod as a replacement for a previous one during it's warrenty in summer 2005. I guess it only can be solved with a new harddrive (or a new iPod ).
    Any experience with Apple's policy in such cases? The harddrive should not be dead after a few months.
    Is there a (free) diagnostic tool available to find the exact reason?

  • Ipod makes itunes 7.7 freeze

    I recently installed iTunes 7.7 on my computer and now everytime I plug my iPod in it makes iTunes freeze. I've repaired and reinstalled iTunes, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Hey,
    I'm a windows XP home user and this definitely worked for me!
    First of all you could try doing a system date restore (restoring your system to an earlier date/time) to a date before you installed Itunes 7.7
    Once this has been completed (normally takes about 10mins) complete the following steps
    2). Go to your itunes music folder and find your itunes library file (will be in the letter I section of your track names)
    3). Rename this file to itunes.library.itl
    4). Move this file to your desktop.
    5). Open Itunes
    6). Move itunes.library.itl back into itunes music folder
    7). Select all tracks within your itunes folder and move to itunes program so they appear there again
    8). Enjoy music!
    This procedure must befollowed otherwise itunes will not open and will state that the library file has been updated by a later version of itunes
    NB - this will not affect music stored on an ipod, only what itunes references as music files stored on your computer within itunes music folder.
    There is no risk at all of music files being deleted if this procedure is followed, you are only changing the name of the itunes library file.
    Hope this helps

  • TS3219 Anyone experience the itunes freezing after upgrade???

    I have just upgraded my itunes and when I plug my iphone the itunes freezes..does anyone know how to fix it...my OS is windows vista

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies. The notes below the box include tips on removing troublesome components.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • ITunes Freezing when podcasts tab selected

    Since ungrading to iOS 7 when I select the podcast tab on my iPhone 5 iTunes freezes for several minutes sometimes.
    This also happens when selecting podcasts to sync.
    And all the podcasts sync to the phone even the ones unselected.

    I had the same problem, recently I ran ONYX, restarted the iBook and tried iTunes for a podcast download. Being prepared for the freeze...gave it 30 seconds and all the backlogged podcasts started to download just like pre iTunes 7.2. Guess my iTunes is back to normal.
    ONYX is freeware:

  • ITunes freezes / will not open / will not sync / will not detect Iphone

    I am having numerous problems with iTunes. A few days ago iTunes began to freeze after opening, or not open at all. If it did open, it would not detect my iphone and would freeze when I plugged it in.
    After reviewing these forums, I completely un-installed and re-installed iTunes, Quicktime, all the Apple Support applications, and Bonjour. I had to do this several times. I also ran anti-virus software, registry error software, disk-error checking software, with no results. I also ran a system restore to a date when iTunes was working. Eventually I got to a point where iTunes would open somewhat reliably, although slowly. However it would still not detect my iPhone, would often freeze after I connected my iPhone. Additionally, all of my audio files (music and podcasts) would not be detected by iTunes, and their associated libraries would show as empty, however the files were in the correct location on my hard drive.
    I do not know what to do from this point...I have un-installed and re-installed iTunes upwards of a dozen times now, that can not be the problem. To the best of my knowledge, this problem began happening at random; I did not install any new software or make any changes to my system immediately prior to these problems occurring. Right now, after another re-install I am back to a point where I can't even get iTunes to open. Any help would be appreciated.
    My System info:
    Computer: Asus Notebook UL50VT/UL50Vg Series
    OS: Windows 7 Home premium
    iTunes version: iTunes 10.1.1 for Windows 64-bit
    iPhone: 4.2.1
    Please Help!
    Thank you

    Try this open your music app and access the store from there first, once done then you can go to the iTunes store app, try it and see if it works

  • Itunes freezes after I plug in my 4.3 updated Iphone.

    I updated itunes to the most recent version and then updated my iphone4 to version 4.3. Everything seemed to have finished and worked ok until I went to try and sync my iphone again. I open itunes and it works fine but as soon as I plug in my iphone itunes frezes and my iphone never shows up. As soon as I unplug the phone itunes works fine again. Same with the iphone, as soon as its not connected everything works fine but when I connect it itunes freezes and in task manager it says that itunes is not responding. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Here is the actual solution.  This was making me crazy too.
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.0.2)
    Plug your USB cable into your computer.
    Turn your iPhone off by holding the power button down until you see “slide to power off”. Do as instructed.
    Now press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to your iPhone. After iPhone is connected it should power on the device.
    Continue holding the Home button, you will see the Apple logo appear and then finally a “Connect to iTunes” will be displayed, now is the time to release the Home button. You will then see the following image:
    After this DO NOT RESTORE YOUR DEVICE!!
    Unplug your device and turn it off holding the power button only.
    Now start your device again, it will start up like normal.
    Now plug it back into your computer.
    Itunes should see it as normal and not freeze anymore.
    Good Luck!

  • ITunes freezing when trying to sync iPhone 5.

    I'm at my tethers end.
    Last month I had my iPhone replaced at an Apple store, as the battery on my old phone was draining unusually fast (100% to 0% in 2 hours on standby with nothing open). This replaced iPhone has been slightly tempermental, but I have tried to ignore these little glitches (brightness jumping randomly from 100% to the lowest setting for no reason etc (it's not on auto).
    The biggest problem I'm having it trying to sync my phone with iTunes. It will not sync my music, often freezing at particular songs, meaning I would have to restart my entire computer for it to work again. Deleting these songs would work for it to continue syncing, but no sooner would it find another song it did not like, which would play on any other media software and had no problems whatsoever with my old phone. It then decided to start freezing on 'downloading safari safe data', so I took steps for it to stop doing that (advanced on safari etc). Now it keeps freezing on step 5 of 5; waiting for changes to be applied. Frankly I'm absolutely SICK of this, as I'd like to get some music on my phone at some time, and now I can't even make any alterations to my phone.
    I've tried..
    *Restoring my iPhone ( which went awfully because my backup dissapeared, meaning I had to restore with a months old backup. I triple checked that my backup had worked but when it came to needing it *poof*.
    * Checking Winsock providers.
    * Converting back to older versions of iTunes.   
    * Restarting my computer a million and one times.
    * Deleting 'problem' songs, but now I can't even reach that stage of syncing.
    PLEASE HELP. I'm so frustrated with this. I've always been a loyal customer to Apple but frankly I get sick of always having problems. There's not been one apple phone which has not stopped working within warranty and needed a replacement. When we're paying this much for a phone we expect it to actually WORK.

    This problem is quite common, but I have not been able to figure out what causes it. My best bet is that it's a USB issue, and I have found a workaround that makes synchronising possible when all else fails. For the record, I have tried all of the potential solutions on these forums without lasting success. Here's what worked for me.
    (Windows 7 32bit, iPhone 4S, iTunes 10.6.1.7)
    First of all, make sure you have a good wi-fi signal in the region of the PC you are syncing with. Then -
    1) Start iTunes.
    2) Connect phone via USB.
    3) Left click on phone in iTunes.
    4) On the Summary page check "Sync with this phone over Wi Fi"
    5) On the phone go to Settings>General>iTunes wi-fi sync
    6) Tap on Sync now.
    The phone should sync via wi-fi, even though it is connected via USB. It didn't seem any slower to me than syncing via the cable, and more importantly it worked, and the backup went smoothly. I've tried it several times now with no problems.
    Also, if you have a lot of apps you need to synchronise or you are re-arranging the app windows using iTunes you can sync in the normal way from the PC if you do it immediately after the wi-fi sync, because iTunes does not run the backup again. It probably won't run two backups within a few minutes of one another.
    It's all a bit of a fiddle, and Apple/MS needs to get a fix for it, but if this method works for you at least you have a good backup should you flush your phone down the toilet!
    Good luck!

  • When I connect my iPhone to iTunes, iTunes freezes.

    Unfortunately, when I connect my iPhone to iTunes it'll freeze for about 4-8 minutes and after that iTunes will tell me that "iTunes was unable to load data class information with SyncServices". This hasn't always been an issue this just started about two weeks ago and I finally ran out of things to do. I restored my iPhone three times already and that hasn't resolved the issue. I've uninstalled iTunes and updated iTunes a multiple of times. I've really ran out of issues. I don't know what to do. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi andremyrick
    I haven't heard from you for a while,
    Please follow these steps, however it would be great to know the
    Operating System (OS) your are running iTunes on (Windows/Mac), what computer it is (Acer Aspire, Windows Surface, MacBook Air) and what version of iTunes you are using (iTunes 10.0.0, iTunes 11.0.0, iTunes 11.1.5 e.c.t).
    So the best thing to do at the moment is to update iTunes to the newest version: iTunes 11.1.5 and make sure that your iPhone is on iOS 7.1.
    I am under the belief that iTunes 10 is not compatible with iOS 7 and therefore this may be the main issue.
    I just would like you to check at the moment that your iPhone is definitely updated to iOS 7.1 as this will help eliminate some bugs that could be causing this issue.
    To update iTunes go to: https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and select the OS (operating system) you are using Windows/Mac and make sure you download the latest software iTunes 11.1.5. Let this download and then restart your computer. Once your computer is back on plug in your iPhone and lets see whether this will allow your iPhone to sync.
    Also make sure that the Apple iD on your iPhone is the same as the one on the computer and that the passwords are entreated correctly on both.
    Please keep me posted and I look forward to hearing from you!
