Ipod freezes everytime I try to sync it to my computer?

I have both an iphone and ipod in my itunes. After the last big update, my iphone works fine. When I try and sync up my ipod it freezes and it tells me that it can't read the usb device in my computer.
When I run the diagnostics it tells me that there isn't an ipod connected.
When I reboot it, then it works ok.
I always have to restore my ipod.
Has anyone experience this problem? What can I do?
Thanks
Maggie

I'm having the same problem too... just started happening out of nowhere. After having this happen, I tried to enter the iPod into disk mode manually, which worked, and allowed me to use the iPod updater to restore the iPod.
I uploaded all my songs to it, but now a new problem has arised: whenever disconnect it, not only does it stay frozen, but when I try to restart it, it enters some kind of endless loop where the startup screen will show, then after a couple minutes, the backlight will go off and the iPod will reset itself.
So, valfish, don't do what I did, and to everyone else, how do we fix this???

  • Itunes/ipod freeze when i try to sync my ipod

    yesterday i downloaded the most recent version of itunes. i successfully synced my ipod the first time. but now when i try to sync my ipod, itunes freezes up and eventually quits sync-ing.
    i've restored my ipod twice, but it hasn't helped -- each time i trying to sync the ipod, it will begin the process, but freeze after 7-30 songs of 2200.
    and now i just tried to scroll through my ipod songs to see how many were actually there, and it froze up.
    please help. thanks.

    I'm having an similar problem after updating to iTunes 7.1.1.5, Windows XP. I'm using a 3rd Gen 40G iPod. I have reinstalled iTunes several times and restored the iPod so that all data in it has been erased. When I try to synch the iPod to iTunes, first of all it copies very slowly, and then, it will fail after about seven or eight songs and I get the error message that the synch failed due to an unknown cause (error -124). I am able to eject the iPod and iTunes appears to work correctly. I've tried this several times and the same error keeps occurring.

  • Ipod freezes when i try to plug it into my computer

    Whenever i try to plug my ipod into my computer through the USB cord it freezes, i've found that its not just my computer that it does this on but also on my sisters computer. It will charge but it won't update. It just freezes on the "Do not disconnect" page. I don't think its my computer that is the problem it must be the ipod.

  • ITunes Freezes when I try to sync my new iPod Touch

    I can't sync my new iPod with my iTunes library. I have posted in the iTunes forum, although my title says that I have solved the issue. It isn't, so I'm contemptlating reposting.
    I bought a 64gig iPod Touch the other day to replace an old broken iPod. When I try to sync it with my main iTunes library, after a short while (5-500 songs) iTunes freezes and won't shut down. I have on a couple of occasions got a message saying the the computer can't write to the iPod, or the iPod isn't responding, or an "Unknown Error".
    It seems to work fine with my laptop.
    I found a page on fixing "Unknown Errors" and have tried most of the suggestions.
    I've tried:
    *) Uninstalling and Reinstalling iTunes several times
    *) Resetting and restoring my iPod several times
    *) Updating my drivers - they are all up to date apparently
    *) Stopping all unnecessary programs and services from running on start up
    *) Creating a new user account and trying to sync my iPod from there. I have successfully managed to sync the iPod with a small number of songs or a film on my own account, so I need to test it with a fairly big library. I copied my main iTunes library into iTunes on the new account. The sync hasn't worked (although it is syncing the same files).
    I found a post with a google search that suggested it could be a power drain on my USB port / Bus, or somet fhing like that. Not sure exactly what that means, but it sounded plausible. I have recently upgraded my graphics card.
    I did also see a solution posted that suggested formatting the iPod using My Computer and the iPod icon, but I can't imagine that would do anything more than the restore iPod option in the iPod menu?
    Can anyone help? Getting a bit fed up now... I've had the iPod a couple of weeks and have barely been able to use it yet.

    Are you using security software on your PC? If yes, try to disable the software or check the settings. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

  • Itunes freezes when i try to sync my itouch?

    My itunes works fine, but freezes whenever i try to sync my brand new ipod touch. it says it starts to sync the first song but then itunes freezes up. i have all the current itunes software and like i said the ipod is brand new. i tried turning off the firewall and security options but it still doesnt sync.

    Yes I have had a nearly identical experience. Purchased a new iPod Touch - 2/15/2011. Connected it to my IBM Windows XP machine (SP3, latest updates, well maintained) that has served 4 other iPods (1 shuffle, 3 diff generation nanos, 1 classic, and a brand new nano purchased for Christmas 2010) flawlessly - no problems whatsoever
    When attempting to sync the iPOD touch it (usually) goes through to step 4 - finishing sync, lists out the first song and hangs iTunes (I get 'not responding' with CTL-ALT-DEL). When I leave it overnight it times out and I get (iTunes unknown error -20). I called Apple tech support and between my tech knowledge and them here is what I have tried:
    - rebooted computer
    - reset iPod touch
    - uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes & other SW in sequence
    - switched USB ports
    - deleted songs which it was 'hanging' on
    To add to the fun:
    ....This same iPod touch when connected to my son's Lenovo laptop computer running Windows 7 syncs perfectly - no problemo
    ....The new Nano (Christmas 2010) syncs perfectly to this same Windows XP iTunes library
    ....If I try to sync the iPod Touch to other iTunes libraries on the Windows XP machine, it hangs...
    Update from yesterday: I went to the genius bar and they handed me a replacement iPOD Touch. Reesult ?? same problem...
    Help ! Any other ideas out there ???

    What can I do about itunes freezing everytime I try to do something substantial like erase all my duplicates

    Where is your library file? If it is on a network share rather than a local disk that can cause a big slowdown.
    Every change in the library requires that all smart playlists are reevaluated and the library is rewritten to disc. As your library grows the time taken to perform these actions will grow exponentially rather than linearly.
    As to duplicates, I've written a script called DeDuper which you might find useful. See this  thread for background.
