Itunes 10.5.2 Freezes when i sync my iPod touch 3rd gen on ios 5

Hello everyone!
I have to questions that i hope a member of the apple community can hopefully help me with here they are.
1. I need a solution that is proven to work either by you or a video of some sort to help me with this issue.
I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch (As it says as my title) its currently running ios 5 and itunes running 10.5.2. When i try to Transfer Purchases the Itunes Freezes completely. And as a result i have to open task manager and end process.
2.Also My Ipod has chosen to freeze every now and again it basically freezes in the state where it looks like i have locked my screen so it like i have just pressed the lock button. So i try pressing the lock button again to see if that works which it didnt after i tried it with the home button and still no luck however it will randomly go back to normal as if it never happened.
Please could someone answer these two questions it would be apprecicated.
Regards.
P.S thanks in advance

- 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

- 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.

    iTunes 10.5 crashes when I try to sync my iPod Touch 3rd Gen. with iOS 5...help? I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and from what I can tell the sync process is taking up a massive amount of CPU (i've got a 15 in MBP with i7 core, 2.2GHz processor and 8 GB of RAM). can someone tell me what's going on?

    I have windows xp, mine also crashing, nothing has worked...uninstalling, resetting and reinstalling nothing.

    The iPod will only sync with iTunes. Install iTunes on your computer, import the music into the iTunes library and then sync.

    because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

  • When I sync my ipod touch 1st gen, it comes up with a message that I am not authorized on this computer

    When I attempt to sync my ipod touch 1st gen, it gives me a message that I am not authorized to sync on this computer and gives me my old user id. I don't use that old id and dont have access to the email address(no one does lol) and the security question is one that I would not even use. Anybody help?

  • When I sync my iPod nano 3rd gen to iTunes, it says that my contacts can't be synced because there are none, but I defninately have contacts. I didn't have this problem before.

    I didn't have this problem before and I have no idea what's wrong.  Is it just because it's a newer computer or newer system?  The contacts (that I know I have) just don't sync.

    Go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner and select 'About this Mac' - it will show you which version of OSX you are using.

    What does i couldn't play it anymore mean?
    Does it just doesnt do anything when you select the song?
    Does it give an error playing the song`?

  • ITunes 10.5 is freezing up when i sync my iPod touch

    HELP ME! When i sync my ipod touch it backs up fine and everything, then when it goes to copy the songs it freezes on the first one. i have to restart my laptop everytime for it to unfreeze. i've done this like 20 times. please help me im really getting frustrated... i've been doing this all morning.

    Can you clear up those Apps in you iPod Touch's multitask window?
    Double tap home button to bring up the multitask window.  Hold an App in that window until it wiggles.  Tap the red button to remove one by one until all window is cleared.
    Then do a soft reset of your iPod Touch.
    Hold both Home and Sleep button together for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo, then release.  After reaching back to Home screen, sync it again and see if it will go through this time.

  • All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

    All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.
    I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
    To make this your syncing computer:

  • I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

    I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
    but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
    any help?

    Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes? 
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.  Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

  • Playcount does not sync to iTunes when I sync my iPod Touch

    I never had this problem before... When I sync my iPod Touch to iTunes, the playcount does not update anymore. I have no idea if there is an incorrect setting, or if this is just a software update issue, but I really enjoy the playcount. Does anyone know of a fix?

    Hello there, arums.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some great troubleshooting options when having issues with iTunes becoming unresponsive when connecting your device:

  • I recently had my computer redone and had to redownload itunes on my computer and when I synced my ipod none of my music went into my library.  How do I get my music that is on my ipod into my library on itunes?

    I recently had my computer redone and had to redownload itunes on my computer and when I synced my ipod none of my music went into my library.  How do I get my music that is on my ipod into my library on itunes?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone .  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

    I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
    What is "it" and what is "windows"?
    Maybe:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
