IPod freezes when changing settings in iTunes

Well, I thought I fixed one problem after doing a restore, but now I have a new problem.  If I check the "Sync only checked songs" in iTunes and click "Apply", iTunes freezes and gets the spinning wheel going.  Now what?  Versions are iTunes 10.6, iPod Nano 1.2.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • ITunes freezes when changing settings

    Help
    I'm trying to change some settings in playback- specifically the Sound Enhancer and Sound Check (or any setting for that matter) freezes iTunes. I get "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working" Solutions?
    Thanks, rales

    No, I uninstalled Apple Mobile device support and had no problems with my iPod.
    If you are worried you can always put it back by doing a repair install of iTunes.

    kaeandcolesmon,
    If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
    To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
    See:
    Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

  • My ipod freezes when i jog

    i freaquently go jogging with my ipod video and it freezes almost everytime i do. no matter what i do my ipod freezes when i jog with it. does anyone know how to keep it from freezing while jogging?
    ipod video    

    Freezing like: stopping shortly and then continuing?
    Or freezing like it stops and doesn't ever start again?
    Unfortunately, due to the nature of the iPod, jogging and other erratic movement can cause tracks to skip occasionally.

  • IPOD freezes when I run

    Everytime I run my IPOD freezes up. I can reset it but only while standing still. It runs fine after being reset until I start running again. I have tried with and without hold on but it doesn't seem to matter. I have already had to have my IPOD reformatted by Apple once. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do to prevent this. Supposedly the IPOD was fine for running.

    My iPod freezes when I run too. Since the original iPod I was usuing lasted 18 months, even in Iraq, I decided that it was normal wear and tear so I purchased a new iPod. However, this new iPod didn't even make it a 1/2 mile before it froze. I reset it twice and it froze again each time. This is really disappointing and I cannot beleive that Apple does not do anything about this. I can't even get a support tech to talk to me. I have contact the state's attorney general's office to see if there are any other complaints. They stated that a class action lawsuit can be a poosibility if enough people join together.
    I was very happy with the iPod and even solicted other users but this to me is unacceptable. Apple should advertise that the iPod can not handle a simple task as running. They obviously know about this problem but refuse to acknowledge it b/c of the potential to lose so much business as everyone using an MP3 player to run with.

  • Safari still  FREEZES when I click on iTunes Store Links!!!

    Originally this Thread was called: Safari 4.0.3 PPC = FREEZES when I click on iTunes Store Links!!!
    Wish I didn't specify the version, so that I could have continued it all as One Thread after the next update, 4.0.4... This Discussion Board doesn't allow the Author of the Top to Edit the Title of the Title of the Topic... Now that Safari 4.0.4 Update has been released, when people see 4.0.3 in the Topic Name, they might be more likely to ignore it. Lesson learnt...
    Please review the Original Topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10469114 and Reply HERE http://discussions.apple.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=876 so it could be unified as One Thread...
    The latest:
    After Sleeping my PB G4 during the night, the problem still exist. After Restart, the problem is gone... I'll continue to watch this, and hopefully it won't be happening too often...

    So, I thought that starting a New Topic, without a specifying the Old Version 4.0.3 would be a safer bet...
    Then you should close the old topic by marking it as Answered or Solved; don't leave them open.
    If Safari still freezes, try this:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
    4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
    then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
    5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
    7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
    Downloads.plist
    History.plist
    Form Values
    LastSession.plist
    WebpageIcons.db
    Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the problem continues.

  • IMac freezes when changing the screen saver

    Hi all:
    I originally posted this in the "Using Mac OS X" forum (iMac freezes when changing the screen saver, but thought I'd post here as well since the issue arises on a freshly installed OS.
    We've got three 350MHz slot-loading G3 iMacs (with 512MB RAM) which we're planning to use for basic word processing. The install of Panther (10.3.5 from black retail cds with 10-seat volume license) went fine on the first two. Ran the updates to 10.3.9, installed MS Office 2004, everything working great (they're a little slow, but after all, they are only 350 MHz).
    On the third, the first problem we noticed was the computer would lock up whenever we changed the screen saver from the default (Flurry; Computer Name also works). It continues to do so even after: repair permissions; repair disk; Disk Warrior; reset pram; reset nvram; reset pmu; change RAM; change hard drive; erase hard drive; write zeros to hard drive; reinstall with different set of retail CDs; trash preferences, and delete cache files. (If there's anything I've left out, it's in the other thread).
    Now we've noticed that we can't create any new user accounts. We've thought about putting this one in production, just warning the user that they can't change the screen saver, but god only knows what will turn up next.
    I'm starting to think it's a logic board issue, but could it be that selective? And would you see the same problem with another hard drive and different install discs? Am I missing something?
    BTW, there's a crash log with the other thread.

    Dual 2.0 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I'm going to mark this one as answered.
    I removed the hard drive from the iMac, and put it into another 350 MHz iMac, and everything works great. I can select any screen saver without having it freeze, create new accounts, whatever my little heart desires.
    In checking the history of the problem iMac, there was an assortment of problems with booting (both from the hard drive and from the CD-ROM drive) which were never satisfactorily resolved. The problems just seemed to go away after sitting unplugged for a few days, as much as for anything we actually did to it.
    Now we just have to decide whether it's worth fixing, or using it somewhere in a non-critical role with OS 9 installed.
    Cheers,
    Andrew

  • I've downloaded an audiobook from my local public library and have already listened to it.  It still shows up on my IPod, but when I sync with iTunes, I can't find it our delete it.  Please advise?

    Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Error when I  try and change settings in iTunes

    When I try and add audiobooks, iPod games, party shuffle or change iTunes to my default player (thru edit > preferences in iTunes) I receive this error:
    An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation
    Now whatever I pick will show in iTunes after the error message. But will be gone when I close iTunes and reopen.
    I am the only one who uses this PC I am not sure how I do not have 'enough access privileges' to change ANY thing in iTunes... Any help to make sense of this would be wonderful thank you in advance.
    7.02.16 iTunes   Windows XP  

    okay lets say I want to add audiobooks to the library in iTunes. I go into edit > preferences, check audiobooks I get the error about 'not having enough permission to change anything.' All the changes I do make will say. I prefer tunes imported to my 60 gig iPod to be in wav not aac I have to change that. Get the error and move on. It is when I shut down iTunes and re-open is the problem. I have to go in and change everything all back the way I want, every time. So yeah iTunes still works but it is not a major thing I am trying to do, just change my preferences. I don't even want to use iTunes any more.

  • IPod freezes when trying to sync with iTunes 6.0.4(3)!

    Is anyone else having this problem?? My iPod (touch wheel) was working just fine until I updated iTunes the other night. Now it freezes when I try to sync it with iTunes! I tried resetting, restoring, checked all the updates, *****-slapping the iPod, everything. I see that others might be having the same problem -- is there a solution? Help!
    iMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Update:
    Any new news on this issue from anyone else?
    I left my iPod plugged into my PowerBook over night and when I woke it was functional. However, downloads from iTunes to the iPod take almost 3x's longer than they used to and there seems to be more errors than I've ever experienced (about 1 out of every 10 interfaces). Sometimes the error is that it can't write to the drive (iPod) and sometimes the error is that it can't mount the iPod. Also when the iPod is plugged in and displayed in iTunes, the "used" and "free" info is incorrect. I completely emptied my iPod and it says that I'm using -2.80 GB (impossible unless I've created a blackhole) and it says that I have 10.49 GB (capacity, under Get Info, is listed at 9.28 - which is were it's always been - it's a gen2 10GB iPod).
    Has anyone tried to format there iPod? Is this possible without harming the drive?
    Well, to sum it up my iPod is working but is having errors and bugs all over the place. If anyone has any new news I'd love to hear it.
    SPECS: iPod 10GB gen2, running 1.5(?), iTunes 6.0.4, PowerBook G4 800, OS 10.4.5

  • IPod freezes when I plug it into iTunes

    Everytime I try and update my iPod with iTunes, not only does it not appear on my computer, my iPod itself freezes. I've tried rebooting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and holding Menu and Select on my iPod. My iPod unfreezes when I unplug it from my computer, so it can't be the iPod itself.

    In what way do you mean 'freezes'? Do you mean that it freezes on the menu screen, or simply puts up the 'do not disconnect' sign and is not recognised by the computer?
    I had a problem with mine doing this at first too. Try not opening iTunes, but allow your computer to recognise your iPod and open it automatically. Leave them together for a while, dont just expect them to connect instantly.
    Also, check that your pod is connected to the USB 2.0 port, not that 1.0 port. The 2.0 port is normally found at the back of your computer, whereas the 1.0 is often at the front.
    I'm not a technician and I don't have any specialist knowledge. If that hasn't helped, try contacting Apple helpdesk. Be sure to stress that this does come within their jurisdiction, as the fault is with your iPod connecting, not just iTunes recognising it!
