ITunes (64bit)  - freezes when checking updates for connected iPad

Hello: I have the latest version of iTunes (same problem on previous versions). It's on a clean Win 7 64bit PC, i7, 8gb ram. If i connect a device it eventually brings up iTunes, goes into a sync and completes without error. If I then select my iPad in the left pane and click on the button to check for updates, iTunes freezes. I have waited many minutes and I get no response. Windows task manager does not show it as non-responsive. I end the task, start iTunes again and it works fine.
This is a repeatable issue. Happened with previous two versions of iTunes too. I believe I uninstall-ed and reinstalled iTunes previously.
I have Microsoft Security essentials and nothing else really unusual. It always works after I kill the task and try again!
Any ideas?
I have a MBP but to be honest, I am reluctant to use iTunes on it. The app seems bloated and troublesome.

I guess iTunes for Windows is not supported... Time to remove it.

  • When i conect iphone 4 to itunes using cable , its check for updates only for itunes and did not check updates for iphone 4 also when i press check for updates for iphone 4

    itunes coud not check updates for iphone4 when i connect by cable only when i put iphone4 to AIR PLANE MODE

    You must Restore the phone. It will probably only worth with an AT&T SIM, unless your friend had AT&T unlock it first. The phone may be jailbroken, also; one indication of this would be the app "Cydia" on the phone's Home screen. If it is the phone is most likely worthless to you.

  • Why does my iTunes always freeze when a device is connected?

    I am running the latest OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and iTunes 12.1.0.50.  Every time I try and connect a device to iTunes the colour wheel appears and iTunes freezes. This has happened on an iPhone 5, an iPod Touch and an iPad Mini.  This problem only occurred after updating to the Yosemite OS X and iTunes 12.  Prior to then everything was working fine.  I was hoping the latest updates to both would have sorted out my issue but they didn't.

    If you are having an issue with iTunes becoming unresponsive when you connect a device, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Itunes 11.4 freezing when ipod touch 5 connected to windows 7 64bit

    Every time the iPod touch 5th generation is connected to ITunes in Windows 7 64 bit, the stupid iTunes freezes. The only way to unfreeze is to disconnect it. This problem has been going for a very long time. Upgrading iTunes does nothing. ITunes 11.4 does not fix the problem. There is no way to sync iPod touch with windows 7. This getting very frustrating. When is someone going to post a fix that permanently fixes this problem that has existed for a long time. Anyone got a brain that works?
    A few months ago someone posted a fix that required to disable a windows update that work for a while. Now iTunes is back to its old freezing behaviors. Fix it Apple now!..

    This is a useless reply. It does not work. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing to fix it.  Itunes always freezes when Ipod is connected. This is a problem with Windows 7 64bit and is very common problem. Itunes doesn't want to cooperate with 64bit windows. If you search the internet, lots are having the same problem. This problem has existed for 10 years. Every new version of itunes never fixes the problem. Why can't Apple and Microsoft work together to fix the issue. This is unacceptable. Apple software designers are very lazy and stupid.

  • I keep getting network connections error when downloading update for iPhone 4. Any suggestions?

    I keep getting network connections error when downloading update for iPhone 4. Any suggestions?

    I think I solved the problem by initiating the update in a different way, from the itunes panel where I can click to start the update, instead of saying yes when asked if I want to update when itunes launches in response to the iphone being plugged into the computer.

    I have an Iphone 5  6.01.  I have a notice on my app store that I have an update. Tried to update, but it won't.  Connected to Itunes and tried to download update for App.  I can't do that either.  It won't let me update any of the apps.  What is wrong?

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

  • When downloading updates for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed.

    When downloading updated for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed. If I don't get that message I get a message saying that the download was unsuccesful and that in order to download I need to go to tools and then select dowload only. Please help I really want to update my iphone!

    Thanks for helping out, but I already tried these steps.
    I even tried this on a iMac with similar results. The only difference was that the errorcode was called 2001 instead of 21.
    Today I took the phone to www.iphoneambulancen.dk. A guy (in Aarhus, Denmark) that specializes in iPhone repairs. I figured, that given his occupation he'd seen most errorcdes. Two hours later, he called me back, and told me that he had replaced the battery.
    So, it turns out that a broken battery can cause this behaviour.
    But thanks again

  • ITunes 10 freezes when i try to upgrade my iPhone 3Gs to iOS5

    Hello
    I've been trying to upgrade my iPhone 3Gs to iOS5 since yesterday but i just can't get it to work.
    If i manage to pass the backup step my iTunes freezes when it tries to connect to the server, my cursor turns into the dreaded rainbow wheel and that's it.
    What should i do, should i wait or should i try restoring my iPhone and see if it works?
    I'm running iTunes 10 on a MacBook (Leopard, updated to ver 10.5.8)
    Anyone can help? Suggestions?
    Thank you (:

    ops not while connecting to the server, i meant while tries to extract the software ("iTunes is getting ready to restore the software on this iPhone" or something along those lines)

    Did an update for my ipad to ios 5 from 3 - now it stopped workig at all - only shows an icon of usb connection to i tunes. Reset didn't help , computer doesn't see an ipad. Befor did an update to i-tunes 10 as it was advised. Please HELP ! Another thing - why it happend ? I think that Apple is totaly responsible for this and where they are ? I even can't send them an e-mail ? What type of company it is ?

    Yes, Apple has caused people to go through massive panic, anxiety and wasted time by not coming out and telling us about this problem. They must know about it. How can we tell them? Now I understand why it took me 50 tries to upgrade to OS5. We all got the same crazy errors that caused us to reinstall iTunes, turn off our firewalls, buy new USB cables and basically waste tons of time and energy, when the solution was very simple. Plug your device into a USB port on your computer.
    After years of using a peripheral USB hub successfully it's no wonder we all started freaking out and thinking it was a major problem. Yes, I'm blowing off some steam, but I've been an Apple fanatic for a long time and I'm not happy about their lack of response to this issue.

    That message means that you have to restore the iOS software because something went wrong. Follow the instructions here. I hope that you have a backup.
