Plugging iPod Touch in freezes iTunes (v8.x and v9.x)

Hi everybody!
My iTunes is showing a strange behaviour since yesterday. After approx. four to six weeks after my last sync of my iPod Touch with iTunes, I wanted to sync it again yesterday (iTunes was at version 8.x at that time). iTunes started normally, everything was fine, but when I connected my iPod to my laptop, iTunes freezed. Unplugged iPod...everything goes. Windows (XP Pro) recognises the iPod showing it in Explorer; Task Manager shows no unusual system utilisation.
Here is what I did then:
- updated iTunes via iTunes itself from v8.x to current version 9.0.2 (nothing changed)
- deinstalled iTunes and all other software components as described in the apple support site
- read through the Apple support sites
- installed latest Windows XP patches and updates
- installed and used the MS installation cleanup utility
- checked every iTunes related folder
- cleared my Temp folder
- installed iTunes again
- used different USB ports
- did some restarts, of course
And what can I say: nothing helped. Same behaviour. Plugging in, iTunes freezes, every other app is working well. Unplugging, everything is fine.
I have a suspicion. The only thing I have done since the last sync was an installation of a Pinnacle USB TV-Stick together with its related software. But before I'm going to deinstall this (and going through a complete reinstall of Win) I would like to hear other oppinions.
Comments appreciated.

Problem solved.
I hooked my iTunes library and my iPod up to my 2nd laptop (Samsung NC10 Netbook).
At first: same behaviour. But then, after a couple of seconds, my iPod synced with iTunes! On my other laptop I had waited several minutes for something to happen.
After syncing, I plugged my iPod back into my other laptop...et voilà, everything is fine. I do not now, what was wrong, but I'm glad it is working now.

My Ipod Touch Gen 5 will not show up in Itunes but it shows up under "My Computer" help!

I have a new Ipod touch gen 5. It shows up under my computer but not under devices in the side bar like it should with Itunes 11. I'm running the latest firmware for my new Itouch and the latest Itunes. I hope I don't have to uninstall my itunes as I have ALOT of music on it. I dont wanna lose it all. I'm running windows 8 and followed the tutorial to a "T" to try to fix the problem but nothing worked. I did everything except the last step. Even checking my Computer for Updates (Itunes will not run if updates to my PC are needed). Help Please!

I have an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 connecting to my iTunes. iTunes says my device has an error, but it does not specify the error and I can't do nothing. I was transferring more music and editing my playlists. My songs and movies are gone.

What can I do to solve an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 32 gb on connecting to iTunes on my computer? iTunes says there is an error with my iPod touch, which this was a result of deleting my songs and videos. I was only transferring more songs, videos and editing my playlists. I don't have that much of the songs left. What is the best solution?

And what is the wording of the error message?

My main PC with my Itunes Library just crashed. I still have all my music on Apple TV, Ipod Touch (Gen 2), and Iphone 4 (verizon). How can I get everything set up on a new PC and working ?

I downloaded Itunes 10.2 on new desktop, ran sync with my ipod touch (Gen 2) and have all my music on new PC. Just can't get it to sync with my Apple TV (Gen1). I have made music purchases on Apple TV and cannot get them to Ipod/Iphone? Help

My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

Ipod Touch (GEN 2) is not being seen under devices in my Itunes

My Ipod Touch (GEN 2) is not being recognized under devices in my Itunes. My computer is recognizing it as a device under device manager, but it is not showing up under devices in my Itunes. I am also getting this error message saying "Itunes Could Not Connect to this Iphone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)", and the weird thing about it is that i do not have an iphone but an ipod touch. I have followed the steps on the support website and they have not helped. Iam out of ideas and i really need some help. Please Help!!

HT1386 Why do all my playlists disappear when I plug my iPod Touch Gen 5 into iTunes?

When I plug my iPod touch gen 5 into my MacBook into iTunes (the latest version) using my included USB cord, it deletes all of my playlists on the iPod. Why is this and how can I make it stop?

If you don't have the same playlists on your computer, your iPod will sync to your computer. On your computer,while iPod plugged in, go to the top and push the music button. At the top of the new page, push the button called don't sync music

Silly question re: synching ipod touch 5g to itunes!!! (avoiding crashes/freezes) .

Hi All,
In order to prevent crashes/freezes when syncing an ipod touch 5g to itunes, does all of my music library have to be in mp3 format or will a combination of AAC and mp3 tracks be OK? I'm new to this apple thing and want to get it right BEFORE I attempt any synching. Have searched the ipod user guide to no avail. Many thanks......

Thanks for quick response.
Haven't even used the ipod yet (It's under the xmas tree - I know 'cos I had a sneaky peek!!!!)
Want to avoid potential problems - it took me a while to figure out how to create mp3 CDs.
So, no windows doesn't crash/freeze etc.
Will check out the link though, just to be on the safe side before the ipod gets its first fire up.
Thanks lllaass

Did you place the iPod in recovery mode? That is required for a disabled iPod
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I had my computer wiped and they accidentally wiped my itunes! I have a iPod touch gen 3 but i cant now download or put more music on, without the whole thing being wiped, and I have spent a lot of money on songs and apps!

I had my computer wiped and they accidentally wiped my itunes! I have a iPod touch gen 3 but i cant now download or put more music on, without the whole thing being wiped, and I have spent a lot of money on songs and apps! Does anyone have an ideas about what I could do, to prevent all my things deleting, because I won't be spending more money on apps that I have already purchased once!!
Thank you,

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

My ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?

my ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch 2g freezing after unlocking

My ipod touch is freezing and having many issues right after I unlock it.
Usually it locks up and the screen and both buttons become un-responsive.
I end up having to hold both buttons down to restart, but it just freezes again right after unlocking.
What advice do you guys have?
It's 4 months old and has had relatively low use. I have a 2 year old Second Gen that's working perfectly.

First I would restore from backup via iTunes to see it that fixes problem
Next would be to restore to factory defaults, also via iTunes, and then sync.
If those do not solve problem I would say it is a hardware problem and you should either call AppleCare or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store
