ITunes 6.0.2 and iPod 5G problem

Hi,
My mac freezes at random moments when my iPod (5G 60Gb) is connected and iTunes (6.0.2) is running. At least, I THINK that's causing the freezes, since I have been able to work perfectly since I ejected the iPod 2 hours ago (it is still connected for power, though). I never had this kind of trouble before, so my guess is it's iTunes 6.0.2 OR the latest iPod software (or the combination).
There is no mention about the freeze in the logs: No kernel panic, no logged software crash.
Hardware test finds nothing, repaired permissions, no effect...
Does anyone else have this problem?
Regards, Alex

I had this same thing happen to me day before yesterday although I'm on a Windows PC. It didn't actually crash, it just froze. I shut it down (the hard way lol) and then restarted it and the same freeze occured so I decided to try waiting it out. Eventually, everything started to function again. Weird thing was that while it was frozen, I could scroll through the song list, move the volume or progress bar etc... but no music would play. When clicking on a new song with the visual equalizer showing in iTunes, the equalizer would start for one second and then freeze. Weird!

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 n 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 7.1 and iPod dock problems

Apparently there are cases of iTunes 7.1 doing some widespread and different things, not all entirely related. In many cases the problems can be fixed if you disconnect your iPod dock, if you have one. I had my Shuffle dock (and iPod) plugged in and iTunes just wouldn't start. I was working wirelessly tonight and just thought I would try again and it opened really fast. Then I found several threads here about this sort of thing. So if you are having problems with this upgrade as I have try unplugging your iPod first then launch iTunes.

You have to restore back (or uninstall/resinstall) to a prior version of iTunes. 7.0.2 works fine.

IPod and iTunes... significant and rather severe problems...please help!!!

Hi...
A few days ago my iPod all lagged up when I was using it...so I synced it with the mac and all the problems went away...so far so good right!...well a few days later it wouldn't shuffle when I shook it (it would only go back to the previous menu!),
nor did the "shuffle songs" menu item work in the main menu...
...and during play if the little 'shuffled' icon was displayed in the top right corner, then it would only play that song, and then go back to the previous menu...
...so I synced it again...and reformatted it!-still no change...and then the shuffle songs button on iTunes stopped working!!!
Can somebody please help...I have no idea what's going on!!!

Itunes 7.5 and ipod shuffle problem

I installed the Itunes 7.5 and then attached the new ipod shuffle. The itunes brought up the ipod shuffle but only showed the agreement screen. When I typed in that I accepted the software agreement it would not go to any other screen. I can import music to the shuffle but you cannot see it in itunes; you only see the agreement screen for the shuffle. By the way, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software twice.
What is wrong with this software?

To fix this, do the following:
Close iTunes, click on start and go to control pannel.
(Make sure it is set to Classic View) Double click on displays.
Click on the settings tab and change your screen resolution size to 1024 by whatever and apply that.
Close out of this, open iTunes and you should have the OK button.

Itunes freezes when connecting and ipod does not show up

When I connect my nano 3rd gen in windows vista using itunes 9 my ipod does not show up and itunes freezes. the ipod remains with the connected screen and I cannot close out of itunes. Any help would be wonderful... Thanks!!

I have (finally)solved the problem with my iTunes freezing! Here's what I did:
1.I backed up my entire music library to an external hard drive.
2.Then I completely uninstalled iTunes 9 from my computer.
3.After a re-boot I then completely deleted my entire music library. (this can be a little scary so I double checked my music library back up on the external drive)
4.I Googled iTunes 8 and found it at
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/06/28/apple-itunes-8-2-and-quicktime-7-6-2-di rect-download-links/
5. I downloaded it but before I installed it I copied my music library back to my computer. I did not copy everything that was in my original iTunes music folder however, I only copied the music,album art work, applications,games,Tv shoes, and podcasts folders. I placed those folders in a new folder called iTunes on my computer. I did not include any of the iTunes database files eg: .itl / .xml / or .itdb files as these were created in iTunes 9.
6. Now I opened iTunes 8.2 and added all of my music and other media content.
7. Next I attached my iPod nano to my computer. Then Windows automaticly open a window asking me if I wanted to scan for problems or continue without scanning. I had windows scan for problems and once that was done my iPod nano began to sync. Oh what joy!
I think, and this is only a guess based on what I've read here on Apple's discussion pages and my own experience, that there is a problem/conflict or bug with iTunes 9, Windows Vista and the 3rd -4th generation iPod. I will NOT be upgrading to iTunes 9 until Apple has addressed this issue. It seems to me that there are a lot of people having similar issues.

ITunes 7.7 Update and iPod classic = Spinning Beach Ball

Just upgraded to the new iTunes 7.7 (iphone 2.0 and app store support). After, I plugged in my ipod classic and it took almost 5 minutes of the "spinning beach ball" to recognize the ipod. I check and it says my software (1.1.2) is up to date. I ejected and tried it again. Same thing. Once recognized, the ipod classic seems to work fine in iTunes, but still not sure about all options.
Anyone else upgrade iTunes and find the same thing happening?
Note: No option to sync ipod classic games any more. A new "Applications" designation listed in iTunes 7.7 (which has my purchased games listed), but no way to "sync" them or resync them if there were to be an issue or if I wanted to remove the game now and sync it again later...

I'm having the same problem. Last night I wanted to update my iPhone to 2.0 so I had to update iTunes first. When I connect my iPhone, everything works fine (thank God). But quite a different story when I connected my 80 GB classic today. Spinning beachball, iPod icon appears on desktop and in Finder, but iTunes does not show my iPod.
I've tried everything I can think of from resetting my iPod to reinstalling iTunes. Nothing has worked for me.
Is there no fix to this yet? Has anyone solved the problem? Are we suppose to wait for Apple to solve this problem?

ITunes 10.5.1 and iPod Classic

I've been reading all the posts on this forum over the last week, and it certainly makes one paranoid about iPod Classic problems. I'm already paranoid about iTunes problems, so here's my question: I'm currently on the latest 10.4.x iTunes version (Windows 7 64-bit), and I've been hesitating upgrading to 10.5.1 because (a) 10.4.x works reliably; (b) 10.5.x really doesn't add anything for the iPod Classic; and (c) I remember the disasterous 9.0 update that trashed iPod Classics.
So, is the upgrade to 10.5.1 (Windows 7 64 bit) reliable for interfacing with iPod Classics (latest 160GB versions), or is this the case of: if iTunes isn't broken, don't fix it?

As I recall from the days they actually updated iPod Classic firmware :-), that was always a distinct download from iTunes. My inclination, right now, is to update Quicktime but not iTunes, until and unless iTunes stops workings (there was one point with iTunes 10 where the iTunes store stopped working until I upgraded -- this was significant only as I was looking for a new podcast).
As for the iPod disk issues: It's scary reading these forums, but I take heart in the fact that the vast majority of users likely do not have disk problems. I take care of my iPod, attempt not to subject it to shocks, rarely run the battery down, so it may last. I also plan to pick up a spare before they discontinue them... at the last possible moment to get the longest disk life :-)

ITunes keeps on crashing and then more problems.

hello,
i just got my iPod Vid and my iTunes keeps on crashing when ever i try to watch my videos.
another problem...
when i connect my ipod and try to update it, it gives me a error message, "Attempting to copy to the disk "my ipod" failed. An unkown error occurred (-69).".
i think its because of this error too that i do not see any of my videos or pictures uploaded into my ipod.
need help please.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes many many times
for the proper procedure to *removing iTunes completely* click here and follow the instructions, then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
also try this:
quit iTunes. move the following file to the desktop: <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/library/preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
fire up iTunes (which will create a new .plist file). if it works now you can trash the plist file you moved to the desktop.
additionally, since it seems you're on OS X 10.6.3 (as per your signature), i strongly recommend you do this:
(a) download the [_*Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048]
(b) +verify disk+ and +repair permissions+ using disk utility
(c) reboot your Mac into _*safe mode*_
(d) run the combo updater while in safe mode
(e) upon normal reboot, repair permissions again
(f) run software update from the  menu and install any updates offered
please post back with results !

Updated to os4.3.3 and to itunes 10.2.2 and ipod touch will no longer work (sync) to computer. I have removed all Apple Software and reinstalled and this did not fix the probelm

I updated my ipod touch 3rd generation to the new operating system 4.3.3 and itunes to the latest. I have a WindowsXP machine all was working fine until the updates. Since then after trying many things. Currently unable to transfer music to the ipod.

Found solution after trying many things that were recommended in the Apple error messages.
The problem was resolved after I totally removed my Security Software.

HT1363 Got iTunes 11.0.2 and iPod classic. ITunes no longer connects to iPod - wiped all contents and there is no way to re-connect - is this normal?

Got iTunes 11.0.2 - as far as I know the latest version. My iPod classic no longer connects - gone through all on the "help" still won't work. There is nowhere with the word "device" and the iPod has now been wiped clean. Is this normal with the new version?

You might want to try connecting to another computer with an older version of iTunes. If it connects, reformat it straight away just in case before adding your songs back in. Otherwise, you might want to seek for help at the official iTunes stores in your country. Chances are that the iPod might be corrupted, though iTunes being the problem can't be ruled out either.

Ripped 20 CD's into iTunes, syncs with phone and iPod, but not iPad

So, maybe sync isn't the right word. All three devices will sync, but the songs ripped from CDs only appear onmy iPhone 5 and my iPod touch, but not on the Ipad. I have recently purchased songs from iTunes, and they do appear on the iPad. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help. Oh, btw, I have the newest iPad, right before they went to the Lightning connector

ITunes says my computer and iPod aren't similarly authorized

I'm trying to sync my iPod Touch 2G with iTunes on my Windows XP computer, and I keep getting this message:
"This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPod "Catherine the Great". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
If you do not authorize this computer, 4 apps, including "AIM", and their data will be deleted form this iPod."
There are cancel, authorize, and don't authorize buttons. I can hit cancel but I need to sync my iPod and that's counterproductive, I can hit authorize and be taken to the "Enter Account Name and Password" login bit... I enter my apple ID and password and it says "This computer is already authorized". I even double-checked that it was the same username and password in my iPod and it is, it's what I use to download apps from the iTunes store.
If I hit "don't authorize", it starts the sync but then says it's deleting apps because they're not authorized.
How do I fix this? I've never had this problem before. I haven't synced my iPod in the past two weeks at least, probably a few weeks longer than that, and I have iTunes 10.1.1.4. I don't remember exactly when the last time I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes was, but there's definitely a good chance I haven't tried to sync my iPod since the last time I updated iTunes.

I tried everything it said, but nothing worked. But thank you for the link, I was looking for something along those lines in the Apple Support area and missed it somehow.
I just realized though that when it prompts me to authorize it's my AIM screenname it has in the Apple ID space, even though I don't use that as my Apple ID and, as far as I know, did not ever download anything from the iTunes store with that.
Do you know any way to check if I downloaded any of my apps using a different ID even though I really don't think I did?
I would just deauthorize it and then redownload them all, but some of them aren't available any more and I have data, ebooks, etc. on them.
