ITunes 11.1.1 freezes when I connect iPod Video

Ever since installing iTunes 11 on Windows 7 laptop, I can't plug in my iPod Video (5G) without crashing iTunes.  Every update to iTunes does the same, including 11.1.1.  My iPod works fine.  iTunes 10 works fine (on a different computer).  No way am I putting 11 on the other computer until this is resolved.

Well, I'm pleased to say that I solved the problem (but not the mystery).  I tried all our Apple iDevices on my laptop (with iTunes 11.1.1), and they all worked OK, except the abovementioned 5G Video (including another 5G Video that I had).  When the 2nd 5G Video worked, I realized the problem lied with the 1st iPod, so I did a "Restore" (to original settings), and that seemed to do the trick.  I didn't think to do this before because the iPod worked fine otherwise, and worked with the old iTunes 10.7. 
But here's the rub:  I HAD to use the old iTunes 10 to do the restore...because iTunes 11 crashed before I could do a Restore.  So, the mystery may never be solved, but at least all is now working.

  • Computer freezes when i connect ipod mini 4gb

    i have a problem with my ipod mini 4gb (2nd gen.) for like 2months, it freezes when i connect it to my windows computer.
    i tried to reset my ipod en reinstal itunes, but nothing worked. PLEASE HELP!

    Hmm... See, I've tried that already (And just tried it again) and instead of allowing me to run it, the computer freezes entirely, just as it would if the "Restart your computer" message came up, only it doesn't show the text, and nor does the screen dim. The only thing I can do at that point is hold down the power button, thusly shutting the computer down. So I cannot restore my iPod that way. Are there any other ways? Or does anyone perhaps have any other suggestions?

  • Suddenly iTunes does not open automatically when I connect Ipod

    Hi,
    iTunes used to open automatically when I connect my Ipod but now it does not although I did not change anything to my system.
    In place of iTunes I now have the Windows 7 choice dialog in which iTunes does not appear.
    How come?

    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected: has always been checked
    I thought you said there was no such option above?
    and nothing else
    Okay. Head to the Start menu and choose the *Control Panel* and when it comes up choose *Hardware and Sound* from the list of options. Next choose *Change default settings for media or devices*. Scroll down to the bottom where you will find an entry for Apple iPod. Go ahead and change its action to "Take no Action." Any luck there?
    I'm not quite sure why iTunes isn't opening upon connection, but we'll see where we can take this. I would start with removing iTunes and re-installing again using these instructions.

  • ITunes freezes when i connect iPod?!

    I've had my iPod one week - one week!!! - and already something has gone wrong.
    iTunes works fine when I'm just listening to music or what have you, but when I plug in my iPod, within a few minutes the iTunes freezes. iPod says not to disconnect, I have no choice but to, and have to alt-control-delete to get rid of iTunes.
    iPod seems normal....plays fine when I'm using it and stuff. Basically they work fine independently but when I connect them, it all goes wrong.
    So is it the iPod or the iTunes that's poorly, and how do I fix it?! Please help!
    Lucy. x

    OKay, I've somehow managed to fix this problem (not sure how, changed the settings I think) but in doing so I've managed to wipe my iPod, and when I tried to put music back on, half the music has suddenly got exclamation marks by them and won't play.
    What have I done?!

  • ITunes 11.2.1 freezes when I connect my iPhone 5. 'Application not responding'

    Hi,
    Recently I upgraded Mavericks. Since then I cant sync my phone anymore. iTunes works fine untill I plugin my phone. Then the spinwheel comes up and stays there forever. In dock it says 'Application Not Responding'.
    iPhone 5, iTunes 11.2.1, Macbook Pro 10.9.3 2.6 GHz 8Gb
    Does somebody can help me out? That would be very very nice!

    Hi BlackNikes
    I had exact same problem, but have now resolved it. If your problem is the same as mine your SyncServices folders have been corrupted while itunes was updated.
    See my post or spyder683 post at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6223064?start=60&tstart=0
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.3 and updated itunes to 11.2.0 and then experienced problems with itunes crashing, 11.2.2 didn't resolve the problem. I found iTunes worked fine if all my other devices (iphone, ipad, ipod) were turned off, as soon as I powered any one of them up and itunes detected them over wifi or USB itunes then froze with the dreaded colored ball spinning.
    In Mavericks 10.9.3 the SyncServices folder is not visible going into the normal library/Application support folder, your instructions below took me to a different area in the system, or at least made these folders visible. Following your instructions I was able to locate and delete both SyncService & SyncServices folders and I launched iTunes again while my devices were powered up and the issue has gone. Bliss!!!
    Many Thanks

    Hi Culero,
    The fix of deleting the SyncServices folder is for Mac systems. From your desktop / finder, click the "Go" menu at the top, then "Go to Folder ..." Paste this into the field: ~/Library/Application Support
    The SyncServices folder should be in there. I had both a SyncService and a SyncServices folder. The second one should, when deleted, help with the problem you and I both had of iTunes freezing when an iOS device is plugged in.
    Hope this helps

  • ITunes 7.0.1 freezes when syncing to iPod - any thoughts?

    I have a click-wheel iPod that's always synced fine with iTunes on my laptop. Upgraded to iTunes 7 to work with my girlfriends new 2nd gen Nano. Her iPod syned fine - no problems. When I connect my iPod it seems okay - and transfering Podcasts to it worked fine, but it deleted all my music from the iPod and now iTunes freezes when I try to sync the music back to it.
    Any thoughts???

  • ITunes 10.5 is freezing when I connect my iPhone 4, please help

    I updated iTunes to 10.5, and not iTunes freezes (beachball thing) and I want to upgrade to iOS 5 but I can't if it keeps freezing.  I have tried reinstalling iTunes.  Any suggestions?

    Me too!  I waited a bit before I updated.  Had no problem updating Itunes to 10.5.  Phone update seemed to go smoothly. 
    This morning I noticed that my calandar wasn't allowing me to invite folks so I plugged it in to see if maybe there was a sync issue.
    Now the whole thing is frozen.
    I was trying to decide on getting an Ipad but right now an Iphone is probably all I can handle with all of these issues since I have to manage my husband's too!

  • Itunes 10.2.2 freezing when I connect Iphone

    I wonder if anyone can help me on this one.
    I updated my Itunes to 10.2.2. on my G5 quad  running OS 10.5.8. When I plug in my iphone(3gs) it can take 5 minutes for it to appear in itunes during which itunes hangs (spinning beachball). It eventually appears and takes forever to back up and sync anything. It is driving me mad. Any suggestions

    From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    Deselect: Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Click OK.

  • IPod not mounting...Windows freezes when I connect Ipod.

    This has happened to me a couple times lately. I'll connect my iPod (4G, 40GB) and ITunes and, sometimes, the rest of Windows just kinda freezes up on me. As soon as I disconnect the cable, everything goes back to working fine (except, of course, I can't transfer any music).
    Also, the iPod itself seems to be a bit loony. I can hear the disk whirring for a couple seconds, then it stops, couple seconds, then it stops. Once or twice, it's rebooted on its own.
    The last time this happened to me, a couple weeks ago, I had to reinstall ITunes 3 or 4 times before things finally worked out OK.
    I've tried the "5 Rs" and I've seen the Exclamation Point icon once or twice...I was looking into the thread discussing that (with partitioning the drive, etc.). I'd rather not do that if I don't have to.
    Anybody have ideas?

    I am having the same problem, I can sometimes get into disk mode and half the time I can't. My CPU doesn't recognize it when I plug it in. And usally when I plug it in while in Disk Mode it goes back to the apple symbol and then the sad ipod icon

  • ITunes shows my music but when I connect iPod it shows all my music twice

    I recently purchased a new computer so I used my iPod as an external hard drive to move my songs. I upgraded my iPod software and installed the latest and greatest iTunes on my new laptop. I thought everything went well until I contacted my iPod to my new computer. The iPod updated and I was able to view my iPod in iTunes. But I can't play any of the songs from the iPod folders (Recently Played, Top 25, etc). I can't even highlight the songs that are categorized under my iPod. I can play all my songs from my library in iTunes when the iPod is connected to the computer or not. Why are all of my songs showing up in iTunes twice when the iPod is connected? I know it didn't do this before the upgrade. Where did I mess up? Please help.
    Sorry this was so long winded.

  • Itunes crashed too Blue Screen when I connect Ipod to computer

    My Itunes crashes to the Windows blue screen of death whenever I connect my Ipod to Itunes. I have ran tried both the solutions that are posted in the support section of this website, but none of those solutions seemed to work. I have an Ipod Classic and am running the latest version of Itunes (8.02 I think). The error code that comes up in the blue screen is:
    STOP 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x80154000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is quite frustrating.

    Did you follow through all the links on the page?
    You need to give information about exactly what you have tried in order for someone to help you.
    I do not have an iPhone and know nothing about them so I can't give detailed help.
    In general you tend to get BSOD with low level problems such as drivers or hardware issues. Are you up to date with the downloads from computer manufacturer's download site for your model of computer? If you follow the links there are various suggestions about the sorts of things that could cause trouble.
    If you are getting a blue screen stop, it would help if you could post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
    0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    For example:
    Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
    Also is a file name mentioned in the error message? If so give the exact file name. This is very important as it may identify the driver causing the trouble.
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • Itunes 10.1 Freezes when i connect my 32GB iPhone 3GS

    Ever Since i updated my iTunes this morning it freezes when i connect the phone. When i unplug it it comes back. There are times that when i re plug it after a bit it works. My phone was acting up so I decided to restore it. But then i get the same problem again so i couldn't restore from back up. I been trying to figure out the solution to this problem since 7 AM in the morning EST. I been looking around the forums for similar problems but it didn't help. I followed steps from apple on this page: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_7
    That didn't help either. I been repeating all these steps plus more multiple times and nothing solved it. It just keeps freezing. I even Called out of work today just trying to Fix this dumb issue cause i can't be with out my phone PLEASE HELP!!

    I'm not sure what's causing this, but it has just started happening to me too. It has been happening with both my iPhone 4 and my wife's iPhone 3GS, but more with the 3GS.
    I thought rebooting the machine had fixed the problem, but it happened again this morning.
    A workaround that has worked successfully for me is this:
    With iTunes not running, plug in the phone. iTunes should then start on its own and start syncing properly. If it doesn't start automatically, start it manually (with the phone already plugged in) and the sync should start. But starting it first and then plugging in the phone doesn't seem to work.
    I'm running iTunes 10.1.2.17.
    Edit:
    Okay, I think I just got lucky with the suggestion above to plug in the phone with iTunes not running. That's not working for me anymore. What does work pretty consistently (though not always) it starting or restarting iTunes manually after the plug has already been plugged in. This may mean killing it from the task manager if it's frozen, or waiting for the freezing to wear off (which it does eventually, even though it never recognizes the device or starts a sync).
