ITunes 7.6.2.9 freezing while syncing, won't shut down without reboot.

I've been lurking here for the past few days hoping to find a solution to my problem. So far nothing is working. Here's the scoop:
I have two iPods as seen below. iTunes updated the other day and I now have 7.6.2.9 which Apple reports is the most recent version. After this update I had synced the older iPod and did a firmware update on it (it isn't home very often so it had been a while since it's last sync). The Classic is normally synced every few days to keep it all up-to-date. After iTunes updated I started getting odd error messages when plugging in the Classic. One told me I had purchased content on my iPod that was not in my library... this could not be true as this iPod has never touched another computer to get such things and it syncs automatically. I told it to delete the stuff and sync, it seemed to work, but I noticed some of my songs had stopped playing. I looked around and all the suggestions on this issue were to restore the iPod. So I did. Thats when the fun started. For some reason 7.6.2.9 WILL NOT re-sync my iPod Classic. There are over 2000 tracks of audio that are now gone from my iPod because I restored it and the most I have been able to sync is around 200. Everytime I plug the iPod in and iTunes starts syncing (on both manual and automatic), iTunes freezes up and stops syncing the iPod. iPod goes from "synchronizing" to "connected".. but it hasn't finished transfering the songs. When this happens, iTunes WILL NOT shut down. Can't get to the iTunes screen... it's on the taskbar, but clicking it does nothing, nor will Alt+Tab take me there. Right clicking on the taskbar and selecting Close will bring up the "program is not responding blah blah blah" dialog box and I tell Windows to close it, but it will not. I can't even kill the process in the Windows Task Manager to get it to stop running. EVERYTIME I plug in my iPod, I end up rebooting my computer to get iTunes to stop running. This of course is leaving my iPod only partially sync'd. This is really making me mad. PLEASE somebody help!

FYI...
I think I found my problem. I'm doing a partial sync now to my iPod to see if it works. After going through every step possible including uninstalling iTunes 7.6.2.9 and rolling back to 7.5 without success I had pretty much given up to taking my iPod to the Apple Store to see if they could test it's hard drive. Which, makes me wonder why they took the HDD scan off the Classic's diagnostic mode and left the Firewire test which you can never complete.
While talking to my husband on the phone and explaining to him what it was doing and questioning whether his iPod had been acting strange... I ran across an article in iPod Support talking about how to fix issues with iPod not recognizing the hard drive properly and songs disappearing. It mentioned another of my symptoms... Windows kept treating it like a hard drive and wouldn't eject it when iTunes did. It had completely stopped ejecting on it's own afer a sync. The problem started out simple and progressively seemed to get worse.
The article mentioned a network drive causing the iPod to change drive letters and iTunes would sometimes put files meant for the iPod on the drive. I don't have any network drives connected.. haven't in about a year. So I shrugged it off at first... then it dawned on me. The iPod had always came up as drive K:. But now it was showing as L:. I had created a partition last weekend to install a second OS and it had taken the K: spot. Apparently my iPod did not like this and iTunes was too accustomed to it being K: that it would forget partway through the syncing process and start looking for K: again? I went into Disk Management and changed K: to Z: and the iPod back to K:. I have done a few small syncs with success (only certain playlists, etc). No error messages, the iPod ejects when it's done and the songs STAY on the iPod. I'm doing a larger sync now of about 800+ tracks. If that works, I'll put the remaining 2000 back on.
Apparently ever since the day I had both iPod's plugged in, the 5th Gen has been known as L:, so iTunes didn't see anything different with it when it synced. Mine had moved, however, and was throwing a temper tantrum!

Applications freezing and Macbook won't shut down

I have a 15" MBP, i7 2.66 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and a 500 GB SSD. It has been an awesome machine until about a month ago. It started randomly freezing with different applications running. I would have to force quit the app, then when I tried to shut down or reboot, it would freeze at the gray screen with the spiinning circle. I did some research and thought it might be the SSD, which was somewhat new when this started happening, so I sent it back and got a new one. I did a fresh install of Lion and all my apps and got the same results.
I wiped and reloaded again, same results! Took it to our local certified Mac repair facility and the guy said he ran hard drive diagnostics, found nothing, and was able to surf the web with no trouble. Awesome tech!
I wiped and reloaded again, only this time with Leopard. Same results! I took out the ram and swapped slots.
I am at my wits end and am very frustrated. I didn't spend close to $2k for a machine to surf the web! I need my machine to work so any help would be fantastic!

ITunes 11.1.4.62 freezes while syncing with Outlook

Hi,
After installing iTunes 11.1.4.62 syncing my iPod Touch (4th gen - iOS 6.1.6) with Outlook 2010 no longer works (I'm using Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate). The syncing process hangs while "preparing to sync" or while "syncing calendars". Strangely enough, uninstalling / cleaning / reinstalling iTunes makes the problem disappears... for just one Windows session. After a reboot, the problem re-appears and there's no way to sync again until I uninstall / clean / re-install.
The device is always recognized by iTunes when connected. No problem.
When the synchronization process freezes (or waits forever) I can sometimes cancel the operation. Very often, I have to kill the iTunes process.
Any know fix ?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for reminding me this oddity. Yes I'm running ESET NOD32, latest version. I had alreedy read this report but I checked the presence of the ESET_OPTIONS environment variable by running the SET command in a command prompt window. It was not visible. So I concluded I was not affected. Wrong guess. After reading your post I checked again by using Control Panel | System. It was there. So I deleted it and rebooted. Bingo! iTunes is now syncing correctly, even after a reboot (still using version 11.1.3.8 - version 11.1.4.62 behavior is different so I'm wondering whether it is suffering from the same problem).
Oh good!
Apologies for the nosy question, Samoreen ... just trying to clarify what went on. Did you have to uninstall the Eset product? Or was the deletion just of the environment variable? If the latter, could you walk us through how you went about it?
(Hoping to work up some instructions for other folks running into this sort of trouble ... there seem to be a few people about with non-Mobile-related syncing issues with the new version, and with any luck this might help with a bunch of them.)

Dock, Expose, Dashboard freeze and macbook won't shut down.

I got a new Macbook about 2 and a half months ago and since then i have this problem with dock, expose and dashboard where they just suddenly don't respond.
This has happened about 10 times so far and i can't think of anything that causes it.
The problem basically consists of the Dock freezing and not responding and the f9, f10, f1q and f12 buttons not responding for Expose and dashboard. I try to shut it down properly but nothing happens and then the whole thing starts to act slowly. I am then forced to force shut down the Macbook.
When I started up again last night after it happened again it was acting really slowly and froze for a few minutes.
Through all of this all I had open was itunes, limewire, msn and firefox.
I tried force quitting finder and it didnt help. Neither has repairing or verifying disk permissions.
If anyone ahs any help it would be a great help!
Thanks!

Ipod and itunes(especially itunes)will freeze while syncing

i pod and itunes will freeze while syncing, all apps are there, but no music?Itunes says ipod has latest updates, I reinstalled Itunes, powered off/ sleep a couple times still not syncing any help? Thanks

Which application are you watching the videos..... QuickTime, VLC, etc.? Which version? If QT are you using v10 or v 10.7.x? The latter is located inside your Utilities folder. If using VLC, you should be using the latest version.
Type of video files = .mov, .mp4, .mkv, etc.?

Ipod touch, Freezing while syncing.

everytime i connect my ipod it syncs my music and pictures fine, but when it starts to sync my apps it syncs about 3 apps. Then my ipod freezes while syncing, forcing me to restore my ipod from recovery mode. When i say it freezes, i mean that my ipod has the "Sync In Progress" screen, with the battery in the center, and on the bottom of the screen the "Slide To Cancel Sync" on the slider. normaly the slider is always flashing highlighting a few letters at a time, across the screen, saying "Slide To Cancel" When it freezes the slider stops flashing/scrolling and then a little spinning wheel starts to spin in the center of my ipod, on the battery logo. After about, 30 seconds the wheel stops spinning, my itunes freezes up, and my iPod touch freezes up. as soon as i disconect my frozen ipod, my itunes works again. then my ipod is stuck on the frozen "sync in progress" screen. i then have to do the long recovery/restore. Then i decided change my settings from automatic syncing to selecting what i sync. I synced my music, fine. I synced my Pictures, fine. i then decided to sync one app at a time. I first synced solitaire, fine. Then i synced sextuple, fine. Then i synced Super Monkey Ball, my ipod froze!!! So I thought that mabye thats what was freezing up my ipod. then i had to restore my ipod, again. and start the whole process over again. I synced sextuple, fine. Then i Synced super monkey ball, again, and it synced fine. then i synced solitaire, worked fine. then i synced Cube Runner, My ipod froze again. on a totaly different app. i had to restore from recovery mode again, and i synced my music, pictures, super monkey ball, solitaire, and sextuple. then i decided, i will just keep my ipod away from a computer so it won't happen again. so i have 23 apps, and i only have three on my ipod. i really want to keep trying to fix this, but i don't want to have to do a restore, and then have to resync all of my music/pictures again. I really want to know whats up with my ipod. PLEASE, IF ANYONE CAN HELP, PLEASE DO SO. I WILL BE TOTALY GREATFUL. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I have been having the same problem too. i was sick and tired of it so the i brought it to an apple store and basically just told me stuff i already know, then 2 days later it started happening again. So i went to the apple store yet again, different guy same nonsense, "let me check your battery" "let me see if you memory has problems" "don't have too many applications running at the same time" on and on.. all that happened is that they restored it and said it should work... well clearly i go home to sync it, everything freezes, i go back they give me a new one... yet here i am 3 days later still having the problems even with a new ipod. i reinstalled itunes like 6 times, restored my ipod 4 times... so basically everyone is having the same problem... i guess we just gotta wait til apple realizes that they have a big problem to fix and does something for us

Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process. If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage. In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track. Everything worked fine on Windows 7. So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility. As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries? Does anyone have any suggestions?

After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

IPOD freezes while SYNCING - and then gets file error

Hello all,
i have a standard 40gb click wheel ipod, quite old, it works, but limited. The ipod just freezes while syncing now, it has been restored numerous times, but 2 not much avail, i can get one or two albums on there, then everytime i try and sync the ipod just freezes, and has to be reset. Every TIme i plug the ipod into my vista laptop it says, the says. SCAN AND FIX, ( because i couldnt get anything else to work i tried this ) and this is what vista told me
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/9118/vistafixesipodlu5.png
i was like woah, so i proceded to restore the ipod then it seemed to work, for a day. then went back to the freezing while syncing, then next time i plugged in the ipod, windows said the disk needs to be formated before it could be used, so i tried that ( cos itunes was doing sweet **** ALL ) and windows couldnt format it, and neither cos HP USB FORMAT Tool. so i reset the ipod, plug it back into vista, and behold, SCAN AND FIX COMES UP, so i click it, it fixes it, but only loads 1 album before it freezes while syncing again, i have the screenshots,it took 11 screenshots, to get the FULL MESSAGE, that vista chkdsk gave me, there was thousands of these "BAD LINKS IN LOST CHAIN at CLUSTER XXXXX Corrected" messages
im currently listening to Three Days Grace on the ipod, works GREAT, except if i try and put more then this ONE album on it, it freezes while syncing, and gives me the unknown file error. SO any ideas if this ipod can be fixed, cos itunes cant do anything, im assuming there is physical unrepairable damage to the HDD of the ipod and will need replacing if this ipod wants to be in full working order again.
The ipod is NOT under warranty either, so does any1 know where in Australia, it be fitted with a new HDD? Thanks
kind Regards,
Hayden

My Macbook Pro won't shut down or restart without forcing shut down. Hangs on grey screen. iTunes not recognizing iPod.

HELP!!!
Here are the specs of my machine:
2011 13.3" MacBook Pro
4 GB Ram/320 GB HD
For the past several months my MacBook Pro refuses to shut down or restart without holding down the power button. Whenever I choose to restart or shut down the computer, it will hang on a grey screen. I have even tried letting it hang for an hour, and it still won't shut down. I notice that once in a while it will retart or shut down correctly if I had not used opened iTunes since turning it on. However, even manually closing iTunes before shutting down or restarting does not solve the problem. It seems as though it only shuts down if iTunes was not used since restarting the computer. Is this a registry error? Do I need to reinstall iTunes? I noticed this problem began happening after I uninstalled Kaspersky Virus Scanner, could that be the problem as well? Also, I cannot guarantee that the problem is only associated with iTunes. I just noticed that one of the few times it shut down or restarted correctly, iTunes coincidentally had not been used. Also, this problem started happening while I was still using Lion and has continued despite upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Also, whenever I update my iPod through iTunes, it won't eject properly, and a transparent icon of the iPod displays on the screen even after I have removed it from the USB port. Furthermore, the iPod will only be recognized by iTunes and will only be updated the first time I plug it in. After removing it and plugging it back in, it won't recognize or update the device unless I shut down and restart the computer. I have the latest addition of iTunes. I also have two iPods, one 80 GB Classic, and one 8 GB Nano, and I have the same problem with both.
I have AppleCare. Should I take my macbook to the genius bar?
Applications I normally use are Word, Safari, FireFox, iTunes, FinalDraft, Photo Booth, Notes, Mail, App Store, etc. No real heavy lifting.
Any feedback would be very much appreciated. :-)
Thank you everyone!!

I have this question too.

Mobile sync "Server is shutting down"

Ever since the upgrade to Yosemite and Server 4.0, my mobile sync is not working properly. After three months, I have a backlog of accounts on multiple computers that aren't in sync; it is a nightmare.
During the upgrade, mobile sync stopped working, so during the rebuild of the Open Directory I made the change from afp to smb Home directory service; as long as I was rebuilding anyway, which seems to be required at every major upgrade. Everything set up fine, looked fine, the DNS is fine, but after a few weeks it clearly wasn't working. The consistent message for all File Sharing directories, including the home directory for mobile sync, is "Server shutting down; the file server "Kingkrool" is shutting down". Mobile sync then hangs, the Profiles aren't updated properly and it is a complete mess. In the console, it looks like a Kerberos error; the Open Directory was freshly rebuilt under Yosemite, the clients were re-bound, the certificates transferred.
It looks weird to me that it is looking for krbtgt at 0.1.2; The server is at 10.0.1.2. Where is it getting the truncated number and why?

Hi Martin
Thank you for your answer. We only need to run reports using URLs (rwservlet).
After the installation, we find the problem that DISPLAY was not set. We solve it and run the demo reports ok. Then we restarted the server (shutdown and restart including AIX), everything restarted well but we were unable to run the reports again, with the messages I described before.
I did not see any post-installation procedure for reports and AIX, does this procedure exists? where can I find it?
Thank you for the help,
Jose

MacBook Pro won't shut down since itunes 7

Since installing iTunes 7 on my MBPro Intel Core Duo with OSX 10.6.8, once I open iTunes, iTunes freezes and requires a forced quit. Then, my MBPro won't shut down, it hangs at the end and requires a forced shutdown with the power button. Any suggestions appreciated.

You can force quit by clicking on the Apple logo in the upper left:
Then selecting the app in the window that comes up and hitting "Force Quit"

IMAC is freezing and shutting down without explanation

My IMAC is freezing and shutting down without explanation . Any thoughts or suggestions? Could this mean the motherboard is about to die? I have considered erasing the hard drive and reloading, but I'm unsure if that will help i.e. if I back up my IMAC using time machine, then I am just relaoding the problem when I use time machine to reaload........ Thanks!!!

You can also cross post over in the Intel iMac area regarding your motherboard concerns. Users who use the same model computer as yourself would know.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

ITunes 10.x.x.x Windows XP SP Will not shut down

Every time I run itunes 10, in this case 10.6.1.7 but for all iTunes in the past year or more - it will not shut down and stay shut down.
some suggest turning off "default player for audio" -- nice suggestion, but I do that and iTunes messages that I don't have privileges (I'm the administrator).
I turn off Bonjour -- itunes complains, but shuts down only to startup again.
I am NOT sharing music with other computers.
So the cryptic "don't have privileges" -- anyone know what Apple is looking for in this restriction?
Can't uncheck "default music player" -- anyone have a clue as to why not ?
Thanks for looking.

The idea of a 3rd party unrelated app didn't seem reasonable, but in Windows, I brought up the the Windows Task Manager (similar to MacBook Activity Monitor) and started "ENDING" the tasks that seemed to be unrelated to the system but used for certain applications.
When I stopped a task related to my Linksys Music Bridge (I was using Airlink-101 music bridge tools to access the bridge) this allowed iTunes to start and stop without automatically restarting.
On XP, the task was "CMFLYWAV" not sure why it's called that, but I now use Bluetooth to send audio to my HiFi using a Logitech Speaker Adapter that works great, and doesn't cause problems for iTunes.
There are probably other unessential tasks running on those machine that still have this "won't shut down" problem.
Thanks for the hint, but I was heading down that road as the next step, assuming something else was forcing iTunes to stay active. But I would not have expected it to be a network speaker driver as it was in my case.

ipod shuffle 2 gen. while listening to music shuts down after 3-4 minutes (many times flashing red light). Shows the full battery charge (green signal). . Restore did not help ...

Make sure your headphone plug is pushed all the way into the connecton until no silver is showing. You will hear a click and feel it snap all the way in.
