ITunes freezes and doesn't recognize iPod Touch

Let me start by saying that I finally know what the problem is, I just don't know how to fix it
About a 2-3 weeks ago, when connecting my iTouch (1st gen) to sync with iTunes it would freeze the app (but all other windows and programs worked fine). You could hear Windows "recognize" the device and if you left it attached, after about 3 minutes iTunes would then start responding again. However my iTouch wouldn't show up. It was recognized in device manager with no errors, just not showing in iTunes. I could attach it to my Netbook or any other PC I had and it would be recognized and work perfectly, just not with my main system.
After spending hours online trying to find a solution and going through the normal stuff (i.e. Re-install of iTunes, update of drivers, reset iTouch to defaults etc.) I finally came to the conclusion that perhaps it was possible that something was just amiss with that particular PC. Since it had been awhile anyway, I decided to just wipe and reload Windows just to ensure everything was working correctly.
To my surprise, the exact same issue returned! At this point I knew it had to be some type of issue or conflict with another piece of software I had installed. So once again I formatted and began a reload of my system, only this time I noted and tested at each step of the re-install (installation of Windows updates, drivers and software). I finally found what was causing the issue! And the culprit is........(drumroll please).........
Microsoft Security Essentials
No way you say! Yes way and I proved it....
By stepping through the re-install process and testing iTunes after every change, it stopped working and gave me the same issue listed above right after I installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Just to put my mind at ease, I uninstalled Microsoft Security Essentials, and immediately the issue went away and iTunes was able to see my iTouch again.
At this point, I'm not sure if it's a iTunes or a Microsoft Security Essentials issue, so I'm posting this in both forums.
System:
Win7 Ultimate x64 SP1
i7 920
12GB RAM
128GB Corsair SSD
Asus P6T Deluxe
eVGA GeForce 465SC
iTunes & Microsoft Security Essentials (latest versions)
Anybody have an idea of how to resovle this (other than the obvious one of removing Microsoft Security Essentials)? I actually like Microsoft Security Essentials as my AV client so I'd like to find an answer that allows me to continue using it.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mike

Hmm....I just had another thought. All the machines are running Win7 SP1, BUT the 2 that can sync with MSE installed are 32bit versions, however the one that can't is 64bit. Not sure if that makes any difference though. All are clean installs with Win7SP1 media, not SP1 installed later.

(Windows 8.1) My iTunes takes a while to open, freezes and doesn't recognize any apple device plugged into it. I've uninstalled iTunes and other software components in the order I was told but still end up with the same result.Why is that?

Why is iTunes for Windows 8 (8.1) taking so long to boot up, not recognizing an apple device and freezing after a proper uninstall and reinstall?

Windows 7 pro x64 and palm centro

I'm running windows 7 pro X64 and the software installed just fine, but not the driver. Does Palm have any plans for a solution? Are there any third party drivers that will solve my problem without having to install a bluetooth device on my pc?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Hello rpiquette, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
Palm has moved away from their legacy operating system (PalmOS) and on to a new one called webOS. Since Palm Inc. doesn't even own their own software anymore (Palm Desktop) I'd seriously doubt any further support will be forthcoming for Win7, especially for 64-bit architecture.
Palm Inc. has historically not divulged any "future plans" for software (or hardware). Will a third-party develop a desktop client? I have no idea at this point, but the opportunity certainly exists!

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse. I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze. When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally. Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine. But there are blue stripes on my screen. The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes. I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer. If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed. I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Is it the firmware or what? I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please help... Thanks!

I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

Mac Pro Freeze and Beep

My brand new Mac Pro freezes and just begins beeping about twice a day. It freezes in various programs. It will freeze sometimes in Final Cut Pro, sometimes in After Effects, sometimes in Photoshop, and sometimes in Safari. I have a Decklink Extreme card and I suspect this may be the problem. Has anyone elses experienced this and what should I do to fix it?

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 keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!!

After new Itunes update ... it keeps crashing with Windows 8.1 and doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad to syn. Frustrated!!! I have unninstalled it .. installed it, but nothing happens. I even loaded an earlier itunes version, it worked without crashing, but it still did not recognize iphone or ipad.

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

I just test drove a Lexus ES with the Entune system, and it not only didn't play the music I expected, it caused the iPod to become totally unresponsive, even my computer doesn't recognize it? Is there a fix for this?

This problem sort of solved itself. The iPod kept running until the battery went dead, and when I plugged it in to power this morning, it behaved normallyh.

X240 freezes, bluescreens, doesn't recognize SSD

As the Lenovo Phone Support was not able to help me I'll try my luck here.
My newly purchased X240 (20AMS20C00) is sadly having some issues:
- 2-3 times a day the machine just freezes mid-usage. If I was watching video the problem announces itself by playing the last few seconds of audio again and again. At first the system seems to keep responding but the more buttons I click or programs I try to start, the more unresponsive it gets until its completely frozen. --> Feels like a hard drive issue to me
- Sometimes (today 3 times in a very short timespan) the laptop freezes and then shows a bluescreen "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED). Then it restarts and doesn't recognize the hard drive. Sadly I forgot the exact error message. After a few restarts it boots again.
Here's my configuration:
Windows 8.1 with all updates installed
All drivers up to date
BIOS/UEFI: GIET69WW (2.19 ) according to Lenovo Solution Center
Also, directly after purchasing the machine I replaced the internal hard drive with a Crucial M500 SSD which is running the most recent firmware.
I also did update the BIOS via System Update. Before that I didn't experience any of these problems. But as I updated it on the first day I just might not have noticed. According to the release notes of the BIOS update it was supposed to fix exactly the kind of problems I have now.
A complete system scan with the Solution Center showed everything to be ok.
What else can I do? It's very frustrating because aside from all this I am very satisfied with the laptop, but if I have to worry that it might freeze in the middle of writing an important text it's completely unusable.

I have possibly similar symptoms. I replaced the HDD in my X240 (20ALCT01WW) with a Samsung 840 Pro SSD. I use full disk encryption with Debian Jessie, but I've also run Fedora 20 and some live CDs. After a few hours of usage the filesystem will switch to read-only and dmesg will report a ton of SATA-related errors, incluing a medium error and unrecovered read errors.

This would necesssitate powering the computer off and on. After about three times my SSD got corrupted in some way, and was completely unreadable by the laptop, including in Fedora and some other Linux Live CDs.
I figured it was a problem with the drive, so I submitted a warranty claim to Amazon and replaced it. After three hours of usage the same symptoms reappeared. I put the SSD in another computer and the partition table was corrupt, but the drive could be accessed (more than the X240 could do after the error manifested).
I believe this is a problem with the SATA controller or some other low-level hardware on the X240 (perhaps the CPU's hardware encryption module, as I was doing FDE?). I find it very unlikely that two SSDs failed with only a few hours of usage.
