It's happening on all platforms. Must be a server problem on Apple's end.

hi cengl!
let's try heading to the itunes and ipod software download pages and downloading the update from there:
iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
Ipod Updater Installer
i notice that you're running McAfee. if you run into an odd problem where you can't see the download controls (there's a blank blue box on the itunes download page, for example), try:
iTunes download button isn't visible on the Download webpage
keep us posted.

ITunes closes when I plug in my iPod

Long ago I had photos saved on my iPod as disc use. Using the iTunes interface I tried to load those photos onto my iPod. This froze my iPod. Now every time I plug in my iPod, iTunes closes ("quit[s] unexpectedly"). My iPod works on other computers, both Macs and PCs with varying OSs and versions of iTunes; and my computer recognizes other iPods; so the problem seems to be between my specific computer and my specific iPod. I have re-installed iTunes using Pacifist an number of times and I have reset my iPod to factory settings a number of times. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!

That could be a damaged photo cache. If you try deleting the photo cache as per the following article, can you get the iPod/iTunes connection working properly again?

ITunes crashing everytime I tryto update my iPod?

Everytime that i connect my ipod to my computer, it says updating ipod in itunes. but it just freezes and says that itunes has encountered an error and needs to close, and then i can Never update my ipod? any suggestions?

Try this - I had similar problem since installing iTunes 7 with my old 20GB ipod w/dock connector. I called Apple Tech Support and a very helpful gentleman explained that these problem relate to an error during the installation of iTunes and Quicktime. He had me try the following;
1. From Add & Remove Programs, uninstall itunes AND Quicktime. Reboot your machine.
2. Go to www.quicktime.com and download the install program for Quicktime ONLY (you also have the option to download iTunes and Quicktime - do NOT pick this).
3. Once you have successfully downloaded and installed Quicktime, then download iTunes and install it.
4. Plug in your ipod and whilst it still won't update at this point, it will now restore. Select the restore option.
5. Ipod restores and now updates without a hitch.
6. Sweet.
Hope this works for you.

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

TS2529 itunes closes everytime I try to restore my ipod touch 4gs and its stuck at the screen with the usb and the itunes logo, ive tried everything, anyone know what to do?

I dont know how to fix it, has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you fix it?

Try:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
or
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
Next try on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.

ITunes closes when I click in my Library section since I updated it (10.6)

I tryed to unistall the latest version and install the previous one (10.5.3) but I couldn't. Now I can't listen to my own music!!

It's very hard to downgrade since you updated to iTunes 10.6.
In a Apple reseller they solved my problem. (it took arround 1 hour and a half for a 20 GB music library)
You have to move your iTunes folder (inside Music folder) to another place (Hard Drive) and create a new library
Then import to this new library, dragigng the music folders from the old library (iTunes/iTunes Media/Music)(advice, do it by steps, selecting arround 4 gigas each import and check if doesn't crash)
Then iTunes will copy the misic files to the new library (take some time). You have to do the same with your movies, podcasts, etc.
Finaly, check if it crashes anymore
It worked for me.
You might lose some album covers in the process, but it is sloved with right click option.

Itunes closes when I plug in my ipod shuffle. Any ideas what to do?

I have been using my shuffle with this computer for about 5 years now and haven't had a problem until today. Now when I plug in the shuffle using USB port itunes shuts down. It doesn't have this problem with our ipod touch. I tried a different cable but that didn't fix it.

Why does the new Itunes freeze/do nothing when i click on my Ipod touch icon ?

Why does the new Itunes freeze when i click on my Ipod touch icon to manage my content? All buttones, video, tv, info, music, they all do nothing. i was only able to sync by bringing up the old sidebar. Is this a software glitch, or am i missing a step? I just spent two days reorganizing and labeling all my music for the new itunes, and had to restore my ipod so i could upload my new library. i know what is supposed to come up when you click on the music or info tabs, but nothing happens, only the eject button works. whats going on?

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes with the USB connector. iTunes should open and give you instructions as to what to do. Whatyou need to need to do is to restore the iPod via iTunes.

Ipod playlists greyed out in itunes

I am having a problem when my ipod is connected to my computer. It connects to itunes, but when I click on the ipod or playlists in the ipod everything is greyed out and I can not click on it. I am not able to drag new downloaded songs into any of my playlists either. I just get a circle with a line through it.
Please help

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

How do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

how do i copy an ipod playlist into itunes- the songs are already in my library

I found out an easy way....
With iPod connected to iTunes, right click on the iPod playlist you want to export, choose the Export option on the menu that appears.
iTunes will prompt for a location and format to save the file. Save playlist as an XML file using whatever name and location you want (I saved as "songs.XML" to my desktop).
Then, in iTunes, go to File - Library - Import Playlist and selet the XML file. The playlist will be created in the iTunes library and will contain any tracks that are refereced in the original playlist that already exists in the library.
There may be a mesage, "Some of the songs in the (filename).XML were not imported because they could not be fund". This is because the songs you are importing have to already be in your iTunes library.
I just did this with my kid's iPod and it worked great. I found this tip on Apple Support Communities (discussions.apple.com/thread/2577582?start=0&tstart=0). It was posted by SpyglassSally and my original search question in Goole was was, "How do i copy a playlist from an iPod to iTunes".
Thanks for the responses and I hope this helps anyone else.
