ITunes 7.0 crashes when I try to update iPod

I now have an empty iPod and 40gb of music on my laptop to transfer before I leave the country to work for 4 months in 2 days! I took my pod to the Apple Store yesterday and they managed to put music on it with no problems, I've virus scanned my laptop and all is OK but as soon as I plug in my iPod I get about 5 songs transfer and then the whole system crashes. All I can do is close down through task manager- it says CPU is at 100% although the processor should be more than capable of coping with the simple task..... Can anyone help???

I have a similar problem--can transfer about 55 mb then it crashes, have to disconnect the iPod and reconnect, then you get another 55 mb. Too bad if you want to transfer a big file. Also too bad if you expect Apple to do anything about it any time soon. Mine is not an upgrade--it's a brand new iPod Nano 4 GB. "Think different"? I don't think so.

  • ITunes on Vista - crashing when I try to play purchased music

    Crashes when I try to play purchased music that I've copied from another machine.
    It has been authorized for two accounts, obviously ones that own the music, and playing songs brought from either account simply cause iTunes to crash, and it comes up with "iTunes has stopped working..."
    Brand new vista install, and brand new iTunes install.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem. Trouble is Vista is a new operating system that went to market filled with problems, the main one being nothing was ready to be compatable with it. Apple support recommened upgrading iTunes to the latest version sine Vista will not recognise older versions. I upgrade every time one is offered. It stopped my Dell from crashing everytime I tried to use the iPod. Try it, it may work.

  • Crashes when i try to update! Help me please!

    I have the fifth generation ipod. Ive been having this problem with itunes ever since i got 6.0 or whatever. I got 7.0 thinking they fixed the problem. I can open itunes by itself fine, but when i try to update my ipod it just crashes! I sent in the report thing and it says it has something to do with Quicktime. Please someone help me! I really want to start watching videos and uploading my photos again!

    could be configuration or date/time settings.  double check your date, time and time zone (if this is wrong you will not be able to access the Apple update server). also go through the 'blocked by configuration' section of Apple support article TS3297: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297?viewlocale=en_US

  • InDesign CC is crashing when I try to update assignment from inCopy CC.

    Workflow is: 
    I set up inDesign file, select text boxes and create assignments, then send to editor by email. 
    Editor works on file in inCopy and sends me back the assignment.
    When I try to update the text-- by double-clicking the returned assignment which opens the matching inDesign file-- inDesign crashes and says:  "Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Prease restart inDesign to recover work in any unsaved inDesign documents."
    Before changing to CC I worked with this scenario with editor for the last couple of years.  The last publication issue prior to now worked seamlessly.
    Help.  I am on deadline. 

    This sounds like it might have been a problem with the selected import options (for example, setting a crop option for a crop box that isn't actually defined in the PDF). These options are "sticky" until changed, so when you have a problem like this it's a good idea to try again and show the import options.

  • When I syn I cannot download ibook states neen newest version of ipod software but when I try to update ipod states newest version installed. With out ibook I cannot transfer books I have downloaded to itunes

    when  I syn  ipod in itunes it  will not download ibook and states that it needs newest version of software for ipod but when I try to udate ipod it states it has newest version. (chasing my tail). I cannot down load books from itunes to ipod and I feel this is problem. I have had it for 3 years and no problem downloading till now

    The following is applicable:
    If  you  have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club           
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Updated the iTunes yesterday and now when I try to dock ipod, the com crash

    I updated the iTunes last night and now when i go to dock the new 160gb ipod...the computer says that it has detected new hardware and then crashes. I have no idea what is going on but my old 30gb ipod works just fine when I try to dock it.

    +the computer says that it has detected new hardware and then crashes.+
    By "crash" in this context, do you mean that the computer freezes, or that it reboots altogether?

  • ITunes 11.x crashes when I try to watch video on network shared library

    I upgraded to 11.1.32 today in hopes that it would fix my issue, but no dice.
    I run a win8 laptop and iTunes 11.1.2.32. I am accessing a shared library on a NetGear Stora NAS device. Music works fine, but when I try to view one of my videos the iTunes app crashes. I have not had issues until 11.x. Thoughts?

    Thank you so so much! I would have never thought to move apps around on my iPad (truth be told the newsstand app is the most useless for me, I wish I could just delete it) and was super happy that iOS 7 allows you finally put that sucker in a file along with the rest of the junk apps I never use.
    Solved he issue! I can upload videos to my vlc for iOS player once again!

    Some people have had success trying the fix mentioned here.
    Error 1417/1418.
    Could you also take some time to pass some information for the Apple Engineers?  Please copy and paste these questions into an email, make the subject of the email "iPod error report", add your answers, and send the email to Roy at Apple.
    1. What error code are you seeing?
    2. When are you seeing it (restoring or updating your iPod)?
    3. Which iPod do you have?
    4. What version of Windows do you have?
    5. What Windows service pack do you have installed?

  • My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

    Hi,
    My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
    thanks

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

  • ITunes quitting when I try to update iPod

    Hi! First post here ever. Been a Mac user for about 4 years.
    I own an 5th Gen iPod Video of 30 GB. I'm getting around iTunes 7 and even though there are things I'm still getting used to; this is close to freaking me out.
    I installed iTunes 7.0.1. When I connect the iPod, iTunes asks me if I want to download the new software available for my iPod. When I say to download and install and it connects me to the iPod update server, the screen says that iTunes is downloading the new software. Right then iTunes quits. I tried to just download the software, it quit. Then tried to cancel, and it also quitted. I didn't get any "iTunes quit unexpectedly" pop up window.
    Nothing happens. Basically, I can't use iTunes when the iPod is connected and I can't get the new software for my iPod. On top of that, the iPod is not on the desktop.
    I think my immediate response will be to return to the iTunes version that came with my iPod. But I'd like to get around this problem, so please, any help would be much appreciated.

  • I recently updated to ios7, and synced my phone with my wifes itunes library.  now, when I try to update my apps on my phone, I get asked for her apple ID password, instead of mine.  We have tried re-syncing my phone to my itunes already

    Resyncing my phone did not fix the problem.  I also tried going into my store settings, on my phone, and logging out of my ID, and logging back in.  It still shows her ID, but only when I am trying to update the apps that are already on my phone.  I have to enter my own ID password to download new apps.
    I deleted all of the apps off of my phone, and redownloaded them (from the Cloud), and that still did not work. 
    Does anyone know how to delete my wife's apple ID from my phone completely?

    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    All you need to do is delete those apps belonging to your wife.
    Check Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > your own Apple ID here. If not, sign out here and sign in yours.

  • Windows vista tells me iTunes has stopped working when I try to sync iPod

    I recently downloaded the newest version of iTunes (8.0.2.20), thanks to its incessantly asking me to. Since I downloaded, every time I attempt to sync to my iPod classic, Windows tells me iTunes has stopped working and forces me to close the program. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure if it's taboo on these boards or not, but this is just a friendly "bump" to see if it might catch the eye of someone who has discovered a fix for this behavior.
    I did discover a couple of suggestions in my research, neither of which proved helpful to me. The first was to disable the sync function for contacts with Outlook (no joy). The second was to delete the Sync Services folder (which I "temporarily" deleted, but still no joy).
    I have found resources that purport to provide sync control over your iPod without using iTunes. They look to be about a $40 gamble, but I may have to try that route (but would really hope that one of the smart people here would have ideas beyond Apple's "elementary "R's"").

  • TS1424 i recieve the error message "unable to connect to itunes store" mostly/only when i try to "update all" applications. i am able to buy single apps, songs, etc. i have been to numerous apple stores and NO apple genious has been able to fix this issue

  • InDesign CC 2014 crashing when I try to update the links

    InDesign CC 2014 isn't responding after I updated the links.
    I replaced InDesign preferences, moved the missing links into the right file (instead of relinking).  The problem is still there and Indesign still not responding. I had to press CMD+ALT+ESC to force to quit.  Never had problems when I used InDesign CC and I'm experiencing a lot of trouble since I updated to CC 2014 version.
    I'm working on MAC.
    Any clue how to solve this?

    Hi Laneway,
    I can't reproduce that issue. Can we get more info? FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
