Ipod connects, iTunes freezes and music deleted.

I have 160gb ipod classic and just recently I had iTunes open and working fine, then I plugged my ipod into the computer, and it said it was connecting and then syncing and the icon showed up on the desktop. When I clicked on iTunes the icon did not show up in the sidebar and it became unresponsive needing to be forced quit. I tried restarting my computer and the same thing happened. After quitting itunes, i ejected my ipod from the desktop and disconnected it and noticed it was cleared of everything that I had on there. I have a Mac operating system, iMac version 10.5.8. Please help!

have since tried on other computers and all now have the same problem. some with vista as well. this problem has now spred to all my computers preventing me from syncing my ipod at all

  • Itunes freezes and cant delete more than one song at a time

    I tried syncing my ipod when all my songs were erased from my ipod. I tried to re sync it but it always ends up freezeing up on me. I assume I have a corrupt file so I tried to delete all my songs from my libary and just start from scratch. It freezed up again on me. I read up and then decieded to de install itunes and then re install again. I did but all my songs and play list appeared in the new itunes. What can I do to start from scratch? Is there any way to find out what files are correcupted in my itunes.

    Or Command click on the songs if they are not consecutive on the list.

  • IPod causing iTunes freeze

    Hi guys,
    hope someone can help as this has had me flummoxed for a good few hours and nothing as of yet I have come across has helped me in fixing my iPod (5th Gen).
    Basically when attempting to use iTunes (with my iPod connected), iTunes freezes and forces itself to shutdown, I have tried to remedy this by resetting the iPod (unable to enter diagnostic mode or disk mode), reinstalled iTunes, used a different computer to see if it was my computer and god knows what else to get it working again but as of yet no luck, without accessing iTunes I can't restore original factory settings to the iPod either (which is now the aim).
    Any suggestions on what I can do or how to remedy the situation?
    Thanks

    Pretty much the same story here. I don't know if this is related to the latest version of iTunes, which I recently updated? Is there a bug?
    When I connect the iPod (5th generation video), I get "Updating <ipod name>..." screen, and it hangs. IPod says to not disconnect. It never recovers.
    I've tried:
    -Removing and reinstalling iTunes
    -Checking off the setting to NOT automatically synch ipods and iphones
    -Turning off my anti-virus
    -Reading through all the support articles, which suggest to reset the iPod to factory settings...
    The kicker is that I can't do a factory reset of the iPod or update the firmware without connecting to iTunes, of course.
    I guess it's hopeless. Time to throw the iPod out??? Seriously, what to do?

    Hello, bisco,
    This forum is for questions from people who administer iTunes U sites. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iTunes or iPod forums.

    After i Updated itunes al my ipod apps including safari and music, photos and all of them went away and i cannot do anything on it anymore please help?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
    - If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • ITunes freezes and doesn't recognise iPhone

    Hi, I've got an issue with my iPhone 3G running on iOS 4.0.1. Everytime I connect it to my PC (running on Windows 7 32-bit), iTunes freezes for a few minutes and doesn't recognise the device. I've been searching for the solution for a couple of days now and have found the following thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1141495&start=75&tstart=0
    Fix provided by BeeBopp work for me but only until I reboot my PC. Then I have the same situation - having iPhone connected to PC, iTunes freezes and doesn't recognise the device - so I need to go to Device Manager and update the drivers manually even though they seem to have been installed correctly (I have Apple Mobile Device on my list before I update the drivers), but I need to point Windows to use the drivers from
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers\usbaapl.inf
    I have already tried:
    -completely removing iTunes and its configuration files
    -reinstalling iTunes (the newest available version)
    -removing iPhone from the devices list and reinstalling Apple drivers
    Nothing works - everytime I reboot PC, I need to update drivers manually.
    Do you have any idea what's causing that? Thanks

  • ITunes freezes and crashes when I sync my iPhone5

    Help! iTunes freezes and crashes every time I try to sync my iPhone 5. Sometimes it freezes at the start of the sync. Sometimes it successfully backs up the phone and freezes at a later step.
    Also, after I connect the phone but before I click on sync, if I click on the Apps tab in iTunes, the program also freezes and crashes.
    The same iTunes program (v.11.3.1) on the same desktop computer works just fine when my wife syncs her iPhone 4.
    What can I do about this? I'd really appreciate advice.

    Hey user1934,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes when your iPhone 5 is connected and syncing. The following resources may provide a solution:

  • HT4914 I had 1235 songs on my iPad 3 I subscribed to iTunes Match and it deleted all of my songs except for 79 that I had purchased from iTunes Store. How can I recover my lost songs???

    I had 1235 songs on my iPad 3 I subscribed to iTunes Match and it deleted all of my songs except for 79 that I had purchased from iTunes Store. How can I recover my lost songs???

    Hi,
    If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?

  • Re-newed Itunes match and it deleted 10,000 songs from the cloud

    Re-newed Itunes match and it deleted 10,000 songs from the cloud.

    I spent time last night reloading the missing songs.  It did not take too
    long, as you indicated much of the data existed at some point in the
    Cloud.  Seems part of my library was duplicated on my main itunes computer
    and that caused some confusion.  Turned off and turned on Itunes match on
    my work PC and Iphone and everything was available again for streaming.
    Hopefully I don't run into this next year at renewal time.  I do back up
    to a hard drive and can use my ipod as a reference back up.
      When it works the Icloud/Itunes back up and streaming is excellent.
    Although initially last year it took 7 days to load my library.

  • My iTunes freezes and crashes whenever I try to burn a CD

    It hits about a quarter way through the progress bar for preparing the playlist to be burned, and then iTunes freezes and quits every single time. Help?

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:
    ... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

  • Different Bluetooth connections for phone and music streaming

    Can I have different Bluetooth connections for phone and music streaming functions on my 4s? If I can is there a way that the will automatically select (remember) the proper bluetooth receiver?

    TDMA interference, and is a type of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) unique to GSM mobile phones. It affects all GSM mobile phones, but is not harmful to you or your electronics. It is just an audible indicator of network activity.
    GSM mobile phones generate this interference when they communicate with the cellular network. You don't need to be actively using the phone, as it constantly accessing the network to check signal strength, synchronize the clock, or perform other network-related tasks. The only way to stop this interference is to turn off the phone or its network capabilities. For example, by using Airplane Mode.

  • HT1848 I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ?

    I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). I no longer have my CDs once I did donate it to a public library. How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ? At this time I only know how to transfer Apple Store purchased items.

    iTunes will only import music purchased from the iTunes store.  If you need to import music to iTunes from your phone that wasn't purchased from iTunes you will need to use 3rd party software to do so, such as Touch Copy.
