ITunes closes down when I attach my iPod

I've used my iPod without a problem since Christmas. For the past week, when I plug in my iPod, iTunes shuts down due to an unnamed error.
I have reinstalled all my USB drivers, removed and reinstalled all of my Apple software three times (once with the guidance of an Apple tech via phone). The Apple tech guy sent me to the Apple store to replace my iPod, which I did. The guy at the store said the problem is with Windows and not with the iPod. He replaced the iPod, but iTunes still shuts down when the new iPod is connected to the computer. I have also changed the drive letter of the iPod, which didn't solve the problem. So, it seems that the issue is a Windows or iTunes softward problem.
So now, I'm left with an empty iPod that can't sync with my library because iTunes keeps shutting down when I plug in the iPod. The people at the Apple store said they couldn't help me further because I have a PC. The people at Microsoft won't take any responsibility because iTunes is an Apple product. So, I'm left with a $200 iPod that is suddenly for some unexplained reason, shutting down iTunes. So now, both the iPod and iTunes are worthless.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I'm a singer and depend upon my iPod for rehearsal, so I need it fixed ASAP. Any help would be much appreciated.

This has started happening to me in the past week since i uploaded the latest Apple install on vista.
Itunes will work on its own but soon as i plug in my new nano it shuts down within seconds.
This is typical of Apple.....until hundred of complaints are registered they never get off their F~~~~ing arses and solve the problems

  • ITunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb

    I desperately need help. Recently my computer crashes and I reformated it. So I had to reinstall iTunes. Ever since then iTunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb. A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I am unable to update my iPod which drives me crazy. Somebody please help!
    I browsed through some threads which have similar problems as I do, but I am unable to reply in any. It says: This topic has been archived - replies are not allowed.
    There's this thread here about the problem I am facing but I doesn't seem to understand the solution to it.

    Can somebody please help me?

    A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
    let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
    Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
    drwtsn32 -i
    And hit return.
    This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
    prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
    Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.

  • ITunes shuts down when I connect my IPod

    Hello to all.
    Everytime I connect my IPod to my PC, iTunes shuts down. If I disconnect the IPod, I can use iTunes. What happened? I already installed the newest software. The problem is new for me, some days ago I could use ITunes normally with my IPod. The second problem is, that I cant see and hear my music, which is still on my IPod. This problem exists since I got the problem with iTunes.

    I would uninstall the ipod and itunes software, reboot and then reinstall it all.

  • ITunes shuts down when attempting to sync iPod nano (4th gen)

    Ever since I upgraded to iTunes8, I haven't been able to sync my iPod nano.
    When I plug the nano into my laptop, iTunes pops up as usual, but then immediately stops working. A box reading: itunes has stopped working pops up, then the program closes automatically.
    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, resetting the iPod and trying to restore the iPod to get new stuff on it, but iTunes just shut down again as it was starting to restore the iPod.
    SO- I have lost everything on my iPod-- I can't use it for anything! It's really frustrating, and I'm not sure what to do at this point!
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

  • Itunes shuts down when I connect my ipod video

    I have a ipod video 60gb (the one right before they released the 80gb). I recently had to reinstall OS 10.4 due to freezing issues. Well, it still freezes, and it froze during the re-sync of the ipod and I had to reboot the ipod cause I had to reboot the computer. Now whenever I connect the ipod, it is recognized by the CPU, but whenever Itunes starts up with the ipod connected, it just shuts right down.
    Help...

  • Itunes shuts down when loading music to ipod Touch

    I just bought a new PC running Windows 7. Everything is set up correctly in iTunes. When I first synced the iPod Touch it loaded about a third of my music before I got an error message saying iTunes had stopped working and needed to shut down. Now, as soon as it tries to load the music, iTunes stops working again and I have to shut it down. It's always at the point where iTunes attempts to load the music (not at the start of the sync process).

    I've solved it. I was using a 3rd party USB cable, which wasn't playing nicely with the iPod. As soon as I used the proper cable it worked perfectly. Apologies to Apple and shame on you Logic3 for making crappy cables!

    Suddenly 2 of my apps (Facebook and Skype) will not function on my ipod touch. They just close down when I touch the ikons.

    If that does not work try resetting your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • When i attach my ipod it freezes my computer and itunes...any ideas ?

    When i attach the ipod with the USB...it freezes my itunes and i can't do anything until i unplug the ipod....any ideas ??

    Are you plugging the iPod classic into a high powered USB 2.0 port located directly on the PC and are there any other USB devices that are currently attached as well?  Have you tried using another USB sync cable as well?
    The next time this happens, try resetting the device to see if that helps. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Since I installed the latest version of iTunes I cannot sync new downloads to my ipod. Before I installed this version I had two windows when I attached my ipod to my desktop but now there is only one. HELP

    Since I installed the latest version of iTunes I have been unable to sync new downloads to my ipod. Prior to this installation I would get 2 windows when I attached my ipod but now there is only one. The software does not recognise the device (I tried running the doagnostic) but I can see it on my desktop. Anyone know what I can do?

  • Itunes keeps shutting down when I connect my IPod Classic

    Itunes shuts down whenever I connect my IPOD classic  and sync attempts to start.  I have had this IPod for several years and I have had Windows 7 for over 6 months.  I am trying to update versions, but I get an error message with that also.I have also seen posts on Microsoft and they aren't helpful.....I have seen many posts on Itunes also regarding same issue. What is up when the company will not fix their problems with the products?

    I downloaded the 64bit system....did it like 3 times.   Finally, I found some other helpful hints.  I tried loading ITUNES in safe mode, still couldn't get it to not shutdown once I connected the IPod, I then logged into one of my other user accounts, then I was able to restore the settings, however, it removed all my songs and syned with the Itunes on that user acct (which was my nano IPod).  That was ok, because then I was able to go back to my regular account and sync and updated all my songs....just had to have my kids authorize me again on Itunes.  Think it's a racket to keep upgrading, changing things and not supporting the stuff that still works.....my classic works just fine nd holds 5,000 songs...I only have about 1500; so I have long way to go.  When my display cracked and the LCD was all messed up. I sent it to IFIXIPODS fast.com and they replaced it, quick and cheap--hats off to them!

  • ITunes locks up when I attach my 5G iPod. Help!

    Recently I have had an issue that when I attach my 5G iPod to my PC iTunes, iTunes locks up. iTunes works fine by itself. My iPod seems to have no issues with the music that is already in it and it works fine by itself. When I attach the iPod, the PC knows a USB device has been attached as I show an additional drive added to my PC. The problem is that when I attach the iPod to the PC iTunes locks up. All I can do kill the application. When I do that the iPod remains as a USB drive on my PC.
    I could be wrong about this, but I think this started when I went to iTunes 7.7.
    Does anyone think this is an iPod issue rather than an iTunes issue?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks...
    ---Paul in Southern NJ

    I`ve had the same problem, you should leave it at first for some while. Most probably it`s checking the songs. I`ve had it locked for about 15 mins when doing a backup ( don`t know why, because i do this very often ) If it doesn`t snap out of it, you should put the iPod in disk mode, and restore it, this could ( not for sure ). If you think that the 7.7 upgrade did this to you, then just uninstall and reinstall the 7.6. You can take it from here: http://files3.download3000.com/download/f929e83a52d28f065f4a408beb691940/1/49662 /iTunesSetup.exe
