IPOD locks ITunes - can't sync

I have ITunes 8.0.1. Ever since I've downloaded 8 I've had issues with my Itunes. Before it was just that Genius locked up my system so I stopped using Genius, but now I can't sync my IPOD. It locks up Itunes. Is there anything I can do?

I have had the same issue as yourself over the last few days and i've eventually found the answer.
I had a half hour long phone call with Applecare product support and they told me to do the following.
1, Remove all traces of iTunes 8.0.1 (search through this forum for the files to remove, as i can't remember them all as i'm not very computer savvy)
2, Log onto www.oldapps.com and download iTunes 7.6.2 and install it.
3, Do a reinstall of the OSX with the backup discs that came with the computer.
BUT.. When you go to do the reinstall when you get to the screen where you see a picture of the hard drive, click on the options button below it and choose 'Archive and Restore' then carry on with
reloading the OSX.
4. When the reinstall has completed run a software update and install them all EXCEPT iTunes 8.0.1
After i did that iTunes worked as it should with no system freezes.
The next day i ran a software update and forgot to uncheck the iTunes 8.0.1 update but to my astonishment iTunes 8.0.1 now runs perfectly, No freezes, No slow running.
Hope this helps you out. I know it seems a bit extreme but all i can say is that it has worked for me with no problems at all.

  • My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account

    My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over.  I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...

    There is no such thing as a "sub-account."  Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account."  Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases.  iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account).  You'll need to clarify...
    So, this is what I think you are saying.  You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend.  Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library. 
    You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library.  Is that on a different computer?  How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
    You got a new iPod.  What is your "old iTunes"?  Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?

    songs wiped from ipod and itunes, can i get them back?

    If they were imported from CDs, and you had no other backup of them on your system or another drive, you'll need to reimport them from CDs again.
    For music purchased from the iTunes, you can redownload each track at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more details.

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • My macbook pro's iTunes can't sync with my iPad1

    Hi there,
    My MacBook Pro's iTunes can't sync with my iPad1. They are connected by cable and the Macbook and the ipad can find each other by wifi but that's it. The software seems to be upto date on both but im not sure as i can't find the itunes app symbol in the settings area of the ipad but it has itunes. I hope that helps.
    Cheers folks,

    It is not of any help but have exactly the same issue. Called one of our local radio Tech Shows (The Tech Guy, with Leo Leporte) and for what it is worth his only answer was that it was a bug. He noted that apparently i-Tunes was not looking at i-Photo for the library location but rather, as you have noted, only looks in the default location.
    Be interested if you get this solved or come up with another work around that does not require my library to be in the default directory.
    As you noted i-Photo is happy it is just the sync with i-Tunes, it just doesn't work,

  • ITunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.

    Hello.
    I get this error message
    iTunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.
    iTunes kann keine Apps mit dem iPhone synchronisieren weil nicht festgestellt werden kann welche Apps auf dem iPhone installiert sind.
    Need Help

    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.  Have the first two been tried?
    How about simply unplugging the iPhone and plugging it back in to sync?
    What has been done in an attempt to troubleshoot the issue?
