ITunes 11 not responds when it tries to verify iPod Classic

I have just installed iTunes 11 (11.0.3.42 i think) on my laptop but as soon as I connect my iPod Classic iTunes tries to verify the iPod and just hangs. If I disconnect my iPod iTunes will start working again.
I can't click on anything within iTunes while my iPod is connected and have to close it by task manager.
Ipod is detected by Windows and iPod has the 'connected' whirl icon.
Windows 7 x64 Home
Any ideas?

Hi Kipperpig,
I would start troubleshooting the device first.  Here is the troubleshooting assistant for iPod classic:

If that does not resolve the issue, you might also try this article to troubleshoot the iTunes side of things:

  • ITunes not responding when I plug in my iPod

    Hey all, I need some help. Recently when I plug my iPod into my PC to update my iPod with the new music that I have loaded into iTunes, as soon as I do iTunes stops working and when I checked in my windows task manager under appplications/status it says iTunes is not responding. when my iPod is not plugged in, iTunes works fine. I can't get past this. Yes I did load the updated software, it didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    This is also happening to me updated latest version of Itunes. Itunes works fine but doesn't show the ipod when I attach. Tried most of the hints on the web site but nothing is working. Plugged the ipod into my base station and hey presto it works fine. I have also tried top re load the ipod software on the lap top but this isn't working either it asks for the ipod to be plugged in when it is plugged in it doesn't see it. Yet in windows explorer you can see the ipod is connected. Any idea's anyone. Shall i try to install version 6.0.0 of itunes instead of the latest version ?

    Hm... Strange.
    I had reset the iPhone.
    I tried disabling the auto-launch of iPhoto, and...
    ...when I plugged iPhone in, it started to freeze iTunes, but after a minute or so, the iPhone started synching. I found this odd because I had disabled auto-sync (I press Sync in iTunes when I want to have it Sync).
    Now, of course, I do want auto-launch of iPhoto back on, since I like it for when I attach my digital cameras. I hope that when I set it back, it won't re-introduce the problem.
    The restart I did may have helped. I resist restarting because my wife's account is often open and she frequently leaves unsaved files up, so it is a pain to respectfully close out her work and then restart.

  • I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

    Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

  • Itunes not responding when I sign into my apple ID. Otherwise itunes is working fine

    Itunes functions properly when I am not signed into my Apple account. As soon as I sign in, it starts freezing and says Itunes not responding. It also normally saves my apple ID in itunes every time I open the application, but now each time I do it makes me sign in again. So frustrated...how do I fix this?

    You are logging into the account that you bought those games with, and you haven't changed countries since buying them ? If they don't show in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPod then do they show on the account's purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they do then are they hidden from the Purchased tab : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

  • Help ! itunes wont respond once i plug in my ipod classic

    HELP !!! ... my itunes does work but when i plug in my ipod classic (which i got for christmas)itunes doesn't respond at all .... theres a kind of lag ...its truly alfull because im only allowed to use itunes with ipods and its not compadible with anything else >> Bill gates help meee !!!! ( oo wait hes microsoft ...

    There are so many things to try other than the 5 Rs. If you would have kept reading or looked at the other link, you might find something that helps.
    And the 5 Rs aren't really "drastic"...
    Since your iPod is showing up in Windows, this article specifically addresses the problem you are experiencing...
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    And no 5Rs! (I posted that link before, but you may not have looked at it)
    You may also want to try restarting your computer.

  • Itunes Not Responding when trying to eject Nano

    Hello. It's my first time to post here. And that's because I've never had any problems before, but that's not the case anymore.
    I recently upgraded itunes to 7.4.3.1. itunes works just fine until I try to add or remove songs or podcasts on my Nano. When I try to do this, it looks as if I can upload or remove songs, yet when I push the eject button to remove the nano, itunes freezes. I must right click on itunes in the taskbar and the not responding window opens and I must shut down itunes. I've left the ipod connected for an hour or more to see if that would help before trying to remove it, but that didn't not help.

    I have the same problem. Itunes temporarily hangs when I do almost any activity. Then after several seconds of no apparent activity (and Not Responding in the Task manager), it wakes up.
    The problem seems to be tied to Quick Time. Quick Time starts OK but has trouble and fits playing videos. I read in another post about uninstalling Quick Time then installing the stand alone version. Would that be appropriate for this problem?
    In the previous version of Itunes and/or Quick Time I had no problems, everythign worked smoothly Thanks for any suggestions.

  • ITunes "Not Responding" when I try burning

    Hello there,
    I have been having this problem for quite a while. My iTunes stops working if I try to do anything involving burning. I can burn with media player and such and have no problems.
    If I go to Edit, preferences, advanced, burning.. to change my options, iTunes freezes up and I have to CtrlAltDel and shut it down. And it always says "Not Responding" I tried just forgetting about the options and putting in the blank CD, but as soon as I press 'Burn Cd' the same thing happens. I tried downloading new versions and all of that, but it still doesn't work. I have had other problems with iTunes in the past but this is the first involving burning. I've even unistall - reinstalled but it doesn't make any difference. It used to burn just fine, and then it started freezing up in the preferences menu, now just today it has started freezing up when i hit 'burn cd'. Any idea how I fix this?

  • Itunes "Not Responding" when accessing Itunes Store.

    I have the most recent version of Itunes and I have already re-installed once. The problem seems to be  that every time Itunes tries to connect to the Store, Itunes goes into the "Not Responding" state. What are the steps I need to take to prevent this? I have also tried the comman for the restart and that still didn't work.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Itunes not responding when connecting iPhone 4s

    Every time I connect my iPhone 4s to my iMac with iTunes open, iTunes stops responding. iPhoto comes up ok, but iTunes just has the coloured circle cursor and I have to force quit iTunes. i have tried reloading iTunes. iTunes won't let me send it to trash either. Help getting exasperated.
    Thanks

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Temp solution to iTunes "Not Responding" when no network present

    I turned off airport and unplugged ethernet, then started iTunes. It didn't crash, so I un-checked "Automatically check for iTunes updates" in iTunes prefs. Now it doesn't try to hit the network at launch, and it works fine. Just don't try to "Get CD track names" or anything else that requires the network, or iTunes will crash again.
    Hope it helps
