ITunes 10.1 freezing when connecting my new ipod touch

Hi,
I recently bought an ipod touch 4th generation and downloaded the latest itunes software (10.1). Once i connect the ipod to the usb port itunes automatically opens but then freezes. The ipod is visible on my disc drive and but then the itunes is unresponsive. I have to use task manager to close itunes then. itunes works perfectly when the ipod is disconnected again.
I am using a windows vista 32 bit OS. I tried the same in my friends system with windows vista OS and the same thing is happening.
But when i connect the ipod in a system with windows 7 64 bit OS there is no problem whatsoever. What could be causing this conflict with the Vista?

Connect the iPod to iTunes. Select your iPod in the left sidebar under Devices. The main iTunes window will show the Summary tab about the device. Go thru all the tabs and select what you want to sync with the iPod. Click Sync.
BTW, if you want to see in iTunes what's on your iPod, click the disclosure triangle next to your iPod in the Devices list.
BBTW, did it ever occure to you to check Apple web site and read up (or view video tutorials) about how to use the iPod and iTunes?

    - You will never get a proven solution since there are many many causes of your problems.  Wait, there is a proven solution.  Puchase a new Mac and a new iPod.
    - Try here fore the iTunes problem.  It includes a link for XP
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    - For the iPod problem all yu can do is:
    - A reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • When connecting a new ipod touch to a previously used computer we were promtped with the question restore to "donnie" - not knowing this was a preious users downloads we accidently clicked this option. How can i fix this?

    We would like to get all information accidently downloaded to the ipod off of it as well as stopping the computer from recognizing the device as "donnie". I already tried restoring the ipod but it didnt seem to work.

    Not all car systems are compatible with the iPod touch.  Does the documentation/website for the car system say it is compatible with an iPod with iOS 5?

  • Can't connect brand new iPod touch 4th gen to iTunes, please help!

    I just got a new iPod touch, 16 gig 4th generation. I'm going through the setup process. Once I get to the option to connect through a network, I hit a problem. My internet at home requires a MAC address to be "invited" into the network before I can connect, however I can't get the MAC address until I complete setup!
    So I choose the "Connect to iTunes" option instead. My computer recognizes that there is an iPod connected to it, but iTunes won't pick it up. There is nothing under "Devices".
    What do I do?? ):

    I just retried a step I missed earlier in the articles before and ran into a problem here:
    #5 Verify that the apple mobile devi usb driver is installed
    > for windows 7
    > if the apple mobile device usb driver is not listed
    > if only Apple iPod appears
    > for windows 7
    I went through all these steps until #8: Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. At this point it tries to load for a bit and I get this message:
    "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
    Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"
    As for your reply, I did indeed already try removing and reinstalling all the Apple programs with unfortunately no effect.
    When I do the sync test, I get that one or more things failed: iTunes Helper not running and No iPod found.

  • An unknown error occurred -54 in itunes this happened after i'd bought new iPod touch and synced it to my iTunes can you not have two iPods on iTunes account??

    Please help i bought a new ipod touch and synced it to my itunes account so i had both ipod touch's on it and now i have an error flashing at me and i don't know what to do??

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
    iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
    Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
    Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
    Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.
