IPod touch : iTunes freezing mid-synch

Suddenly iTunes is freezing whilst attempting to update Farmville app. to my IPod Touch 3. The consequence is every open function on my PC is frozen, nothing, including iTunes can be closed, iTunes is reporting a 408+ hour synch time, and I must force shutdown the computer.

Try theis.  Although the link is for Win7 and Vista, it incldes a link for XP.

If that doe not work you might want to consider deleting the Farmville App from either of both the computer and iPod.

  • Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch, iTunes freezes?

    Well, it's pretty self-explanatory. Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch (5th generation), iTunes freezes. It starts syncing for a few seconds, slows down, stops, then iTunes becomes unresponsive. If I don't force quit it, after a few minutes, iTunes is fine, but my device still hasn't synced. Any solutions/suggestions?

  • After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

    After purchasing songs at the itunes store,  my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
    This was the first purchase I made.

    Are you following these instructions?

  • IPod touch 3G won't synch new videos (SD) from iTunes

    My iPod touch 3G won't synch any new videos (SD) I buy through iTunes.  Tried restoring it twice, software is updated, de-authorized and re-authorized my Mac I'm synching to, manually managing videos (also tried the automatic synch with 3 and 5 most recent movies), creating iPod version (option grayed out), checked to see if some audio options (like surround sound) were selected on the videos and see if they were interfering (they weren't)...still no luck.   I'm pulling my hair out.  Just bought the videos solely to be able to watch on the touch.  The new videos (6 of them...all bought directly from iTunes over a couple of weeks time) don't even register on the multicolor capacity bar when I select them while manually managing videos.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    No luck, but thx for trying.  That was one of the spots I had been to before.  I searched around the forums and tried everything I could find listed with no joy.  I don't get any warning that the videos won't sync.  All my previous videos bought on iTunes the exact same way work just fine.  The only difference with these ones are that they are new (both newer content to iTunes and downloaded more recently).  They will play from iTunes on my iMac perfectly, when I select them for sync onto my Touch 3G there's no indication that they even register (the capacity bar does not expand...but as if I select an older movie the bar increases to show the spce that movie will take up).  If I manually select the (new) video it shows the movie as selected (minus the capacity bar increasing the requisite amount), the iPod syncs (no warnings or complaints from iTunes about the video format...and there shouldn't be, I got the video from iTunes), but the video is not on there on my iPod when all is said and done.  Very frustrating .  Thanks again for trying. 

  • IPod causing iTunes freeze

    Hi guys,
    hope someone can help as this has had me flummoxed for a good few hours and nothing as of yet I have come across has helped me in fixing my iPod (5th Gen).
    Basically when attempting to use iTunes (with my iPod connected), iTunes freezes and forces itself to shutdown, I have tried to remedy this by resetting the iPod (unable to enter diagnostic mode or disk mode), reinstalled iTunes, used a different computer to see if it was my computer and god knows what else to get it working again but as of yet no luck, without accessing iTunes I can't restore original factory settings to the iPod either (which is now the aim).
    Any suggestions on what I can do or how to remedy the situation?
    Thanks

    Pretty much the same story here. I don't know if this is related to the latest version of iTunes, which I recently updated? Is there a bug?
    When I connect the iPod (5th generation video), I get "Updating <ipod name>..." screen, and it hangs. IPod says to not disconnect. It never recovers.
    I've tried:
    -Removing and reinstalling iTunes
    -Checking off the setting to NOT automatically synch ipods and iphones
    -Turning off my anti-virus
    -Reading through all the support articles, which suggest to reset the iPod to factory settings...
    The kicker is that I can't do a factory reset of the iPod or update the firmware without connecting to iTunes, of course.
    I guess it's hopeless. Time to throw the iPod out??? Seriously, what to do?

  • Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

    This is really frustrating.  Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

     The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect.  To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod.  This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well.  It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify.  To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored.  Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight.  I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

  • 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

  • My ipod touch is freezing

    my ipod touch is freezing... I already tried pressing together the sleep/on-off & home buttons but it didn't work... what else can it do? the screen have these lines of light green, purple, magenta...

    Take a look at this link http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch/
    I would suggest removing itunes through add/remove and then installing the latest version 7.6 and then hook your Ipod up and reset it while it's hooked up.
    To Reset you do this
    1. Turn iPod Touch OFF completely.
    2. Plug iPod Touch into PC/MAC while still off.
    3. Turn iPod touch on, then IMMEDIATELY do the following steps
    4. Hold the 'Home button' and 'sleep/wake' button together for atleast 5 seconds.
    5. The Apple logo will appear
    6. When this happens release the 'sleep/wake' button BUT KEEP HOLD OF 'HOME' BUTTON
    7. Your iPod will reboot (Apple logo)
    6. iTunes will recognise iPod in 'Recovery mode'
    8. You will be able to 'restore' your iPod Touch now.

  • IPod touch sync freezes

    iPod touch sync freezes at calendar sync, wired or wireless. Have rebooted computer and restored ipod to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the help. After running "Activity Monitor" and going through the iTunes/iPod Touch sync process I was able to determine the suspect application that most likely caused the conflict.
    While watching "Activity Monitor" almost immediately an application called "CNQL1208_ButtonManager" crashed - locking up the computer. I was able to determine by checking out a few bulletin boards that this application is the culprit in more than one problem on both Macs and Pc's. It's an app that gets loaded at start-up, which monitors the buttons on the front of my Canon Scanner (Model LiDE 35). Part of the CanoScan software download/driver for this model. I trashed this file and everything appears to work fine. In fact, the sync with my iPod touch seems to happen much faster.
    The other possibility is that there was a conflict with PalmBackground Monitor, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
    Thanks again for the Activity Monitor suggestion.

  • I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    Repair iTunes Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
    If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
    Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
    If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
    The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

  • I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

    I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process.  The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack.  Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause.  The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that.  Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • My ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it

    plz i need help....my ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it...plz send me email to [email protected]

    If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod do that. If yuo are still having problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You likely have a hardware problem.
    You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.

    when i want to synce my ipod touch itunes remove my apps what should i do?

    Well, there's the problem... iDevices cannot sync with multiple computers.
    The device and iTunes are doing exactly what they are designed to do.
    Did all the apps on the device come from your friends computer?  If so, there is no way to sync with your computer and maintain the apps that do not belong to you.
