Ipod connection to itune and my computer

Basically, i have an ipod touch 80GB and it seems to freeze my Itunes and the program my computer this is an annoying problem that i really do need solved.

Someone has finally found a solution to this problem and i decided that i would spread the word around ... so here are the steps:
1) Quit iTunes.
2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.
3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.
4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".
6) Go to <http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_21> and download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the diskimage and run the installer.
You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.
And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything.
*If you download the iTunes file from the "support.apple" link, and you can't open it, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/28/apple-itunes-8-2-and-quicktime-7-6-2-di rect-download-links/ and download "iTunes 8.2 for Windows: iTunesSetup.exe

My ipod connects to itunes and the computer i'm using but won't let me edit playlists or add/ take away music

I have an iPod touch and whichever device i use to edit my music has the same issue:
i can connect to the computer and my ipod is connected to itunes but i can't edit any of the music through itunes.
other issues include:
- unable to view new playlists created through the ipod itself (since the problem occured)
- unable to use the category tabs to view music by ratings, song names, bands, etc., through ipod (once connected to itunes) but option still available to view through itunes itself
- unable to change any names etc., for playlists
i've checked for software updates and storage usage but all are fine, data analysis under systems reads as normal (the occassional music app crash but that was months before this problem had occurrred)
two thing that have happened recently:
- my graphics/ screen thing-a-ma-bob for my macbook has gone funny (this was my primary devices for loading and editing music for my ipod) and has created difficulty in viewing things through my macbook screen. consequently i:
- recently connected my ipod to the home computer instead as i'm having issues with my macbook (this is a pc but is again well looked after, systmes updates and current programs are all updated)
please could someone help or suggest options for me to try as i'm so confused and would really like to edit my music to my tastes
thanks in advance!

You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.
If y oare having problem with iTunes not related to syncing try posting in the iTunes for Mac forum
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_mac
Otherwise try restoring the iPod from backup

HT1339 My ipod is stuck at step 9 in this guide. Itunes told me to keep my ipod connected to itunes, and my Ipod shows the Apple logo as it should (though I can´t see any progress bar). Do anybody know how long step 9 takes. I have turned off my firewall

Please Help!

If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

My friend gave me an ipod touch 3g and its disabled and he does not know the password. it says ipod is disabled connect to itunes and the computer the itunes is broken what should i do.

Did you try plugging your iPod into the computer and hitting Restore iPod?

HT1212 what happens if your iPhone shows iphone is disabled connect to iTunes and the computer your iPhone is synced with is broken

My daughters locked her phone but the laptop its synced too is broken and she hasn't set up find my phone how do we unlock????

So I'm guessing here, they forgot the passcode? Find My iPhone has nothing to do with forgotten passcode or accessing the phone.
The only way to bypass the passcode it to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync to and restore the backup. However, it appears from what you have typed here, that the computer your normally sync to is broken. The only thing you can do is to use another computer to restore, however you will restore as a new device, since you cannot access the old one. Also, since it is locked, you cannot create a backup either. Not a good situation to be in.

Try

I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or

Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?

My iPod Touch won't connect to iTunes or my computer, and the "on this iPod" tab is gone out of the blue. I can't put any more music onto my iPod, and I can't erase anything off of it either! What can I do?

My iPod Touch is a 6.1.6
I got it as a gift a couple years ago, so I'm not sure exactly what generation it is. My iPod Touch will not connect to iTunes or my computer, and the "on this iPod" tab is also gone. I can't put anything new onto it and I can't take anything old off of it! This just happened recently as well, as it was working fine up until a couple months or so ago. What can I do?

Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck. However...

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out and says disabled connect to itunes. The computer which this ipod was synced has crashed. How can I fix this?

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes. The computer she last synced to has crashed. How can I unlock this ipod?

The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.
"If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it."

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
