ITunes 7 freezes when I select update iPod

I just installed iTunes 7.0. When I contect my iPod video, it takes a more than few minutes to be recognized. Then I get the options to update the iPod software or restore the iPod. When I select update, everything freezes, and after an hour or two, I have to kill the program.
Also, I get the warning that I have more music than the iPod can hold. I have ~ 47 GG music, and a 69 GB iPod.. ?
I tried all this sites recomendations (5 R's, etc), and it seems to be getting worse (I have less memory available on my iPod).
What's up??

Yeah when I plug mine in to update it automatically, iTunes freezes, but if I update it manually it works fine. I had the same problem with the storage with my old iPod, it would always say that it was full and that I couldn't put more music on. I just restored my iPod and it was fine.

  • My itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....help!!

    I have installed the new update (Windows 8 64 bit)  & my itunes freezes when I connect my ipod.    

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod classic 120GB, please help

    hello,
    I got a problem with my itunes/ipod, I believe it's my ipod.
    My Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows 7 Professional, latest version of itunes),
    it started when i've connected my ipod to itunes and I just plugged it out when it was syncronizing.
    after that my whole content (music, pic's, video's) are deleted. The default stuff is the only thing what's left on it.
    And now every time I connnect my ipod classic my itunes freezes. I've installed itunes on my new computer but it keeps doing nothing..
    I've tried the support pages from apple but I just can't fix this problem, please help.

  • ITunes freezes when I select help

    iTunes freezes when I select help. Does the same thing in safe mode. Reinstall didn't help. iTunes 10.7.0.21. Windows 7 64 bit
    When I choose iTunes help from the help menu, the help window opens with half of the window on screen and half of the window off of the screen to the right. The computer and other programs continue to work correctly but I need to use task manager to get iTunes to close.
    Any thoughts???
    Thanks, Tony

    SUCCESS!
    After trying all the suggestions above I googled the issue and came across a Windows specific forum where a guy had a software conflict with Malwarebytes.
    That got me thinking about a startup item conflict.
    Using Msconfig, I systemattically turned off half of my startup items, did a restart, tested the result.
    In my case, with half of the items off, I could access the itunes store.
    I turned on half of the remaining items, restarted, tested the result.
    I could still access the store.
    After about 8-10 cycles of this, I found that a startup item called OC_Guru_II was the culprit.
    It is an overclocking utility that came with my Gigabyte brand Nvidia video card.
    I'm confident that this was my problem. It is 100% repeatable.
    Hope that it helps some of you when the other stuff doesn't.
    All the best to everyone,

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my iPod in. Please HELP

    I have a 4G 8GB iPod touch, and it hasn't been synced into iTunes for about 2 months now because iTunes always freezes when I plug my iPOd into it.(I have iTunes 10.1 or which ever one is the latest version and it just freezes). Can anyone help or has the same problem?

    I have the same problem
    I managed to get it to work this way on Windows 7 SP1 X64
    Itunes 10.2
    Ipod 2g
    Open Itunes
    Open Task manager
    Click on process tab
    Connect Ipod 2g
    Swap back to applications tab and check for not responding for Itunes
    If Itunes goes not responding
    Disconnect and reconnect Ipod, while viewing process tab
    It may take a few times

  • Itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....possible corrupt file?

    I reinstalled itunes to the latest version.
    And I'm still having the same problem: My itunes freezes whenever I connect my ipod. And when i disconnect it, it unfreezes and it shows "My Ipod" in itunes for like a second then goes away.
    Now, when I reinstalled again, i noticed a message saying that Windows is missing components required to fully install Itunes (itunes installed anyway) or something like that. Now, i connected it to my parents' pc and it works fine.
    Is there something wrong with my pc? Is there a different program where i can transfer my music to my ipod? (I am using Windows XP btw)
    Also is there a way to move all the songs on my ipod to an external hard drive?

    Similar problem here:
    When I'm playing songs with iTunes and connecting my 3G 20GB iPod, my computer will hang up completely - screen goes dark and I have to reset my PC.
    However, when my iTunes is "idle", i.e. not playing a song or doing anything else, connecting and syncing the iPod will work just fine.
    I'm using the newest (6.x) Version of iTunes on WinXP SP2 with a 3G iPod 20GB.

  • Itunes freezes when i put my ipod 5th generation in

    i need help what can i do to fix this i open I tunes first then i connect my ipod by the usb then itunes freezes and doesnt detect the ipod in the source list can someone please help

    Ever since I installed Snow Leopard I have been having syncing issues with my 5th Gen 80GB iPod. It first gave me an error that it could not read or write to the iPod. The music and podcast were able to write to the iPod but when it got to syncing my photos is when it failed. I then just yesterday installed iTunes 9 hoping it would help, which it didn't. I tried to do a restore of my iPod with iTunes 9 and it was able to erase the iPod just fine and when I went to sync it again it gets stuck at about 5GB completed. I have a total of about 60GB's that I am trying to sync, but even if I just sync a few things it still will give an error "Can't synce 80GB iPod because it can't be read or written to (error -50)."
    So I am not sure if this is a Snow Leopard issue or iTunes issue. I don't think it is my iPod because it was working fine now for over 2 years. Even the small amount of 5GB that it did transfer will play just fine from my iPod.

  • ITunes freezing when I sync 60GB Ipod, podcasts not completely downloading

    I've got a pentium 4 3.0 with 1GB of RAM running winXP pro. I just re-installed winxp after formatting the HD so everything should be clean. All it has on it is WinXP, Office 2007, Photoshop, and Itunes. When I connect my ipod, a 60GB video, itunes will freeze the entire computer up for a few minutes while it syncs. Also, many podcasts, most notobly "This american life" will only download about halfway (an hour long podcast will be 15 minutes or so long). This happens pretty consistently. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

    I DOWNLOADED MUSIC FROM A CARD AND IT PLAYED FOR TWO TO THREE WEEKS AND IT QUIT PLAYING THE TUNES ARE STILL ON THERE BUT THEY WON'T PLAY AND MY IPOD FREEZES UP?

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my ipod in

    This problem started when iTunes said it couldn't sync some of the songs to my ipod.  I think it said my ipod was corrupt or something like that so I tried to restore it.  It froze after the restore, so I unplugged the iPod.  It works when it's not plugged in, there's just nothing on it.  When I plug it into the computer iTunes freezes.  I tried doing reformatting it through Windows in disk mode, then it showed up in iTunes as corrupt.  I restored it and the same thing happened.  I don't know what to do; does anyone know anything about this?

    If the above steps don't work, I went through a lot of trial and error to fix mine but found that this method worked great. 
    1.  Press and hold select and menu to reset.
    2.  When the apple comes up, press select and play to put the iPod in disk mode.
    3.  Plug iPod in and make sure iTunes recognizes it.  It will still give you an error but ignore it. 
    4.  Find out what the iPod drive name is.  Mine is G: so be careful what you put in because this will completely format any drive you type in.
    Open up CMD from the run or start menu.  Type in:
    Format G: /FS:FAT32.
      (Remember to replace G: with whatever drive your iPod is.)
    Then hit enter. It may take a while.  This will start the iPod format.
    5.  When that is finished, you will get an error that says something like the drive is too big for FAT.  Ignore this. 
    6.  Eject the iPod using iTunes and then press the select and menu button to reset the iPod back into normal mode. 
    7.  Plug the iPod back in.  You will get a message on Windows saying that you need to format it again.  Ignore this. 
    8.  Restore the iPod using iTunes.
    This method will completely wipe the iPod and formats the entire thing to its original file format.  I have read that doing this can reduce the life of the iPod, but better than having a iPod paper weight.  This method made mine run like new again.  I found that using the Windows Format Utility doesn't work to well.  The CMD format seemed to do the trick.    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes Freezes when docking 40 G iPod.

    I'm trying to set up my son's new 2G Nano. But when my 40G iPod is connected, iTunes freezes up completely. Any suggestions?

    Try to completely reinstall iTunes as follows:
    - Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add or remove programs (just "Programs" on Vista)
    - Select iTunes and click the "Remove button"
    - Once it is uninstalled, to to C:\Program Files and delete the "iTunes" and "QuickTime" and "Bonjour" folders
    - Go to C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\Application Data (on Vista: C:\Users\YourNameHere\AppData\Roaming) and delete the "Apple Computer" folder
    - Restart your computer
    - Download iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download and reinstall it.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to restore ipod

    Hi guys
    At the moment whenever i plug my ipod in itunes says it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
    Once i restore it and the ipod resets though, itunes freezes completely and wont shut down from task manager.
    To open it again I need to restart the entire computer but when I try again it goes back to the start and is just going around in loops.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    Did the problem start after installing Windows 7 SP1, there have been numerous reports of iTunes freezing connected in some way with USB.
    I don't have a solution at the moment although it might be possible to find more with Google.
    Some people have resorted to uninstalling SP1.
    Here is an example of what can be found:

  • Itunes freezes when trying to sync ipod

    this started to happen when i had to re-install itunes because they deleted all my content. it was the old version anyways, so i installed the latest version. now, whenever i connect the ipod into my computer and itunes detects it, itunes freezes and my new content doesn't get synced. the battery sign on my ipod shows that it's connected, but itunes doesn't respond to anything i do. Only after i disconnect my ipod does itunes start working again. any suggestions?

    My 80GB ipod and itunes also freeze during sync. I tried resetting ipod, had Best Buy restore ipod, and have an extended warranty with Best Buy-they sent in my ipod and I got a replacement ipod. I have already checked my anti-virus and have scanned my computer for any problems, which none came up. So my laptop and ipod are good. Did not have any problems with ipod or itunes until I got the new update for itunes 9.2. The problem is with itunes updates, now I have an ipod with no music and cannot sync my music back into it. If they can't fix this, I will get rid of this ipod and never buy any apple products ever again.

  • My itunes freezes when i connect my ipod touch?

    I have had my 4th gen. 8GB iPod Touch for about 8 months now. It has worked perfectly, up until now. When i plug my iPod in, iTunes finds it( after about 30 seconds) and it just shows the little icon showing that it's syncing, or loading. It keeps doing that, and when I click on it nothing happens. I cannot access my iPod at all and i tried reseting it but that didn't help. It just deleted all my music so now im screwed. I have updated iTunes to the latest, as well as my ipod to iOS 5.1.1. I have reset my computer, reinstalled iTunes, but nothing helps. If anyone has experianced this, I need help. Thanks.

    Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and connecting to your computer and restoring via iTunes.
