ITunes and iPod not working with one account

Hi
I have iTunes 9.0.1 running on 10.6.1 on a MBP and I have just bought a new 5th generation iPod Nano.
I have been trying to set up the iPod on my partner's account on my MBP. iTunes just freezes every time I plug in the iPod and needs a force quit. When I try to set it up on my account it is recognised straight away. I have also been able to set it up on a new account but I cannot find any way to stop iTunes freezing on my partner's account. Her account works perfectly otherwise.
Strangely the iPod is seen by the Mac OS on my partner's account in that I can browse it in finder and the icon appears on the desktop. It is just iTunes on this one account that does not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Any thoughts?

I'm at a loss..itunes and ipod not working

I have had my music on itunes for quite some time. I went to play some music through itunes and the message I got was the song could not be played because the original could not be found. I have listened to the songs before and now it is giving me this message. I have 275 artists in itunes and I am only able to listen to 67. The other problem I have is I loaded some music onto itunes and only one out of the three transferred to my ipod.
Any help with these issues would be greatly welcomed

That message usually means that the songs have been either moved or deleted from the iTunes music folder, so iTunes can't access them. If you double click on one (as if to play it), you should see an ! by the song and a message asking if you would like iTunes to locate it.
At a guess, I would say that's probably the reason some songs have not transferred to the iPod. If iTunes cannot find them, it cannot transfer them.

ITunes and iCloud not Working with Windows 7 64 bit ???

I just got a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit. I installed iTunes 10.5.2.11 (64 bit). First error was 'The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it as created by a newer verion of iTunes.' I closed iTunes and renamed iTunes Library.itl to iTunes Library.itl-old. Of course when I restarted iTunes, I didn't have a library but that was just a minor problem. iTunes created a new file named Library.itl.
Now when I start iTunes it says 'A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-4204).' There's an OK button so I click OK. That error goes away and then the next error is 'This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove Tunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes.'
So I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled itunes about a dozen times. I downloaded it again to amke sure it was the latest version. Same errors every time. I uninstalled all my Apple stuff and reinstalled it. Same errors. Also, iCloud doesn't work. Error is "Application not found."
So ***? iTunes won't recognize my iPod touch or my iPad 2. Tried two different cables. Suggestions???

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
Try the repair tip in the third box first.

Hi,
Try Resetting iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond and if that doesn't work then try Restoring iPod to factory settings

HT1409 I have done this but it does not work with one of my albums and I dont know why??

That would be it. Sometimes you can tweak the album & artist names enough for iTunes to download matching art from the store, or you could add a bonus track featuring 1 second of silence and attach artwork to that, or you could convert the files to Apple Lossless.

Home sharing works with one account but not another?

My family has an apple tv, we've been having problems setting up the home sharing and tried everything. We eventually decided to try my brother's apple id instead of my mother's and it worked. So my question is; why does home sharing not work with one id but works with the other? any suggestions to get it to work with my mother's id?

Try resetting the Apple TV. enter your mother's ID again. Then remove her ID on iTunes and re-add it. Then see if it works this time.

HT4623 Why do my iPhone cords for my 5 say it is not certified and may not work with this device? It's the same cord that came with my phone. The only difference is the iOS7 update.

Sorry for my english i'm spanish

I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

Im installing the itunes and its not ******* working!!!!

This is so ******* irriating i got locked out of my phone and im trying to fix that by downloading itunes and its not ******* working so fix your god **** software

You are not addressing Apple here. The software is not mine. When you signed up to this forum you no doubt saw that it is a USER forum and we are all users like you. Now if you can put your ranting aside and ask your question clearly you might get some kind user to volunteer a solution for you

Iphone and ipad not working with USB3?

for some 3 months now, when I connect my iphone or ipad to the pc nothing happens.
I tried to look it up in the device manager and it said: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is an older USB device and might not work with USB3.0
Plug the device into an available USB2.0 port and click next. Otherwise, click cancel.
Anyone had the same problem? Any solution that doesn't require being a computer engineer?
Thanks

nothing else connected,
I used to simply plug the iphone or ipad and a folder will open giving me choices of what to do (open the device, copy pictures...) nothing happens anymore on both ipad iphone, I can't access them to copy the pictures, videos...

IPod not working with my computer

I hadn't upadated my iPod in around a month when i noticed that some of the songs wouldn't play at all, some would play for a little while then skip to the next one, and then the ones that would play took a while to start up. I tried to update my iPod but iTunes didn't recgonize my iPod. My desktop would show that there was a "Mass Storage Device" but it would not stop the device so that i could safely remove it. After fiddling around with my computer nothing was happening, so I unsafely removed it by just plain out pulling the USB plug. Then it showed to apple symbol and then the folder with the exclamtion mark. Then i reset my iPod and over the course of trying to fix it i reset it about 5 more times. I reinstalled iTunes and iPod updater. I restarted my computer. I put my iPod in disk mode and then plugged it in. My computer showed that there was a "Mass Storage Device" but iTunes didn't recgonize the iPod and when i clicked on My Computer but it didn't show up. Then when i turned my iPod off and on again it turned on like it normally does with the same problems i said above. I then tried to restore my iPod by using the iPod updater. I plugged my iPod in and then I opened the updater. It says initializing and then just sits there untill it doesn't respond. My iPod just says "Do not Disconnect". Any help could be appreciated.

I got the same error, still cant fix it. Try this?
Here you go, the definitive guide to fixing these chugged-up iPods. I had the exact same problems described below, and it took a variety of methods to fix.
Attempt the following methods at your own risk! You will loose all your stored music and settings on your iPod. Apple's Support articles are still the best way to safely restore a non-functioning iPod. Remember, the best way to repair a damaged or non-functioning iPod is through your authorized Apple retailer or through Apple's Mail-in support services.
Step .5 - Plug iPod into wall adapter and let sit overnight (charges and attempts to start all night)
Step 1 - Completly uninstall iTunes and iPod updater, restart your computer.
Step 2 - Reinstall iTunes and iPod updater (in that order). Restart your computer.
Step 3 - Holding iPod perpendicular to the ground, with the bottom of the iPod closest, drop the iPod from approx. 4 inches onto a soft carpeted surface. (you can start by dropping it onto your bed or pillow first)
Step 4 - Start iPod (press menu button). If iPod fails to start, repeat step 3 and 4 with increasing heights (2 inch increments)
Step 5 - Once iPod has started into the menu screen, verify that there is no (or little) disk damage by playing a song or two.
Step 6 - Place iPod onto a flat surface face up. Put the iPod into Disk mode using the following procedure:
i. Turn hold on, then off
ii. Press and hold Menu and Select buttons simultaneously for approx 6 - 10 seconds. Release when display 'flickers' and goes blank
iii. When the Apple image displays on the screen, immedeatly press and hold the Play/Pause and Select buttons. Continue holding until the iPod enters Disk Mode, signified by an "OK to Disconnect" prompt and a check-mark.
If you are attempting to connect your iPod to a Toshiba laptop/Tablet PC, then complete the steps outlined in Apple Support Article 300836 - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836
Step 7 - Plug in your iPod using the supplied FireWire or USB cables. Allow Windows to recognize the iPod and allow iTunes to open. This may take up to 2-4 minutes. A rotating arrow will appear in the iPod screen at the upper left-hand corner. This signifies your computer is communicating properly with the iPod.
Step 8 - When iTunes window appears, it may prompt you if you want to associate your iPod with the library. Cancel all prompts and close iTunes.
Step 9 - Open the iPod updater, and click restore.
Step 10 - When the restore is complete, the iPod will display an image of the adapter plugging into the wall. Disconnect your iPod from your computer and plug it in with the included power-supply and FireWire cord.
Step 11 - The iPod will boot up normally, showing a progress bar at the bottom. The language select screen will soon show up afterwards.
If you are attempting to connect to a Toshiba computer, complete the steps "Re-enable high-speed interfaces" in Apple Support article 300836 - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836
Step 12. Plug in your iPod normally. Allow iTunes to boot up. (This could take another 2-4 minutes) A prompt will appear asking you what you would like to name your iPod. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Congradulations! You have successfully fixed your iPod. Once again, attempt these methods at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damages or loss of data incurred by the following steps. An Apple Retailer is still the perferred way to repair your iPod.

Appletv remote app and airplay not working with iphone 4S

I have the latest appleTV. I have the remote app loaded onto my ipad3 and iphone 4S. The app is not working with iphone 4S, nor do I get the airplay icon, hence I can't mirrior my phone on appleTV. It used to work. I have deleted and reloaded the app, and still nothing. It worked fined until a month ago or so. I have enabled home sharing.
The app and airlplay are working just fine with the ipad3. I have the ipad and appleTV hooked up to my router using 5Ghz, and the iphone only connects to the 2Ghz network on the same router. I don't think this is the issue, because it worked before.
Also, when I click on the remote app on the iphone, to add an itunes library, a code pops up on the phone, which I enter into itunes on my Win7 PC. Nothing seems happed on the computer when I enter the code. Could this have anything to do with recent appleTV or itunes updates? Any possible solutions?

It seems like I am having the same problem.
I have the latest AppleTV 1080, imac 27", ipad, ipad2, 2 iphone 4, all with the latest iOS. After I have the AppleTV connected, a few problems showed up:
(1) ipad plus iphones cannot airplay photo to AppleTV. After the play button and the grey screen displayed "the playing msg on AppleTV", nothing happened. it is the same for ipad/iphone.
(2) iMac not Airplay to AppleTV
(3) Airplay Mirroring not working
The following are done:
- Home sharing enabled
- To test the devices are connected. I set a passowrd for Airplay and the ipad/iphone both requested for it so they are network and devices are ok
