Itunes crashes on ipod touch

I have the lates operating system on my 5th generation Ipod Touch and today I tunes has started crashing. The only thing I have changed is that I uninstalled a scriptual rosary program and I have upgraded my laptop os to Windows 8.1. How do I get my Itunes working again? Anybody?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then try iTunes.
No data is lost due to a reset.

  • ITunes crashed everytime ipod touch is connected

    Have brand new ipod touch 3rd generation and running iTunes 9.1.1 (ie latest) on a 15" macbook pro with system 10.5.8. Every time I attach the ipod touch the iTunes freezes with the whirling pointer. I have to use finder to force quit iTunes. I can run iTunes fine if the iPod is not attached. The iPod works but I can't sync or add content to it without the iTunes.
    I have followed the advice on other threads and completely re-installed the latest iTunes after removing all the various bits from the various libraries and restarting. When the ipod was first attached it asked to be named, and then to be registered. When it reached the register stage is when the program crashed. Each time I attach the iPod it is seen on the side bar (something that did not happen when I had not completely re-installed itunes), but immediately freezes the program. I reset all the functions on the iPod and it was recognised again, but iTunes died as soon as the iPod was named on subsequent attempts. I have been unable to find any thread which can help further.
    I hope someone can help.

    try this user tip (it's for an iPhone but give it a shot anyways):
    Apple worked it out over the phone. Hopefully this will be very useful to other people having the same problem when the more basic fixes don't work.


    1. Make sure the iPhone isn't connected. Drag iTunes to the Trash. This won't affect the iTunes music, which will still be there when iTunes is reinstalled.

    2. Go to user/Library/Preferences and delete the following files:

    com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist

    com.apple.iTunes.plist
    
com.apple.iTuneshelper.plist

    3. Go to the Mac hard drive Library/Preferences and delete the same files, if they exist there.

    4. Go to /System/Library/Extensions and delete the file AppleMobileDevice.kext

    5. Go to /Library/Receipts/ and delete the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg file.

    6. Restart the Mac.

    7. Empty Trash.

    8. Re-download iTunes and install it.
    Connect iPhone.

  • When I browse to genres iTune crashes on iPod Touch 3rd Gen.

    When I use my iPod touch and head over to the genres button, the whole music system stops.
    But when I go to composers or something else, it will still play and work.
    Anyone know how I can fix that?

    Highlight the movie in iTunes, go to menu ADVANCED and select create iPod version.  Sync the newly created version over to iPod.  Will it play this time?

  • Itunes sees my ipod touch but not my ipod classic; windows 8 sees each of them

    I had an ipod classic 80Gb (older device - 4th gen?) as my daily device, a 16gb touch (newer one - 4th I think) as a backup when my ancient PC crashed and died, had to get a new one.  This happened 1st of Sept.  New PC has windows 8, and I downloaded latest itunes onto it.  This latest itunes recognizes my ipod touch, even synced my new library with it (yes, I had to completely redo my playlists etc after the crash as itunes would not recognize the old library I had had on the ipod).  But plugging my (older ?) ipod classic into the same usb port, itunes does NOT even recognize that there is an ipod.  Here is what happens :
    An olive green windowlet comes up (from itunes ?), beeps at me, tells me "there is a problem with this drive please scan the drive now and fix it".  I assume it means the drive with the ipod in it because the beep happens right after I plug in the usb cable.   I can see this usb port on windows file system, it says "ipod", and can, after some waiting, see the directories... iPod_Control > Music > Fxx  etc., under which there appear to be songs ... mp3 and m4a and wav files, but their names are abbreviated with 4 caps, eg. IXOK.mpe, IPDT.mp3 ... but the little earphone symbol shows beside so possibly I could even play one were I to double click it (default player might come up etc.)... have not tried this yet.  The default player mentioned would be itunes, but here is a problem :  the whole time that my unrecognized-by-itunes ipod is plugged into the usb, itunes is completely hung up... can't even move the window across the screen.  Once I pull the thing out of the usb, itunes is fine again.
    This ipod that is not recognized has also been behaving as if it needs a new battery ... does not hold a charge more than a couple of hours... this has been the case since shortly before the new computer, however during the time that there is a charge it does play songs, ff, etc just like always.  So I am not sure if this has anything to do with somebody's (itunes' ?) perception that "there is a problem with this drive..."...

    I ended up Erase and Syncing again just like I was moving to a new iTunes library. The relationship between my iPod Touch and iTunes got messed up. Everything else was fine. Once I did that everything backed up and re-synced fine.
    So glad I didn't have to restore. The weird thing that happened was I canceled out from the Erase and Sync both times and iTunes still attempted to do it anyway. Once I let it, it worked fine.

  • My iTunes on my iPod touch is all in Hong Kong dollars where as it should be in English pounds. What should I do?

    My iTunes on my iPod touch has changed from pounds to Hong Kong dollars and I want it to change back as I can not buy anything. What do I do to fix it? Please help. Thanks x

    Take a look at the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple in this support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Hope those help.
    Your iPod touch will never appear in Windows Explorer, by the way. It doesn't have the "disk mode" that the older iPods did.
    Regards.

  • ITunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs

    Can somebody help me?
    I have:
    + iPod Touch 4th Generation 32GB
    + Wi-fi connection
    + iOS5 installed
    iTunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs. The only tabs that's showing on my iTunes are Podcast, iTunes U, Search and Downloads
    Also, whenever I try to load un Podcast tab, it ALWAYS say Your request could not be completed.
    Thank you very much!

    Where exactly are the tabs that are showing, are they a list at the bottom of the page and next to it is the "More" option, or are you referring to the options on the More tab? You can move these options between the bottom of the page and the More section.
    Is that the problem, or is there something else missing? (Perhaps it would have helped if you had mentioned what is missing). If it's the Apps section you are looking for, it has its own App button on the Home screen.
    As for the problem with downloading Podcasts, I would try getting them in iTunes on your computer if you cannot download them via the Touch's Wi-Fi.

  • I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch.  Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

    I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch.  Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

    Thanks - I didn't realize that.  I'm also embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to transfer the audio files from my iPod to the iTunes library on my computer.  When I select a book from the list on the iPod, the only option I see with the right-facing arrow symbol is "Show in iTunes Store ".  I back the iPod up to this computer so I guess those files must be on it somewhere, but all I can recognize in the iTunes folder under " Music"  are the music files found in the "iTunes Music" folder. (There are also a ton of files named "iTunes Temp (some #).) The Books list on the computer shows some but not all of the audiobooks -  I purchased the rest on a different computer that is now unfortunately dead. I'm guessing now that those didn't transfer over when the new computer was populated from the old one, so the iPod may be the only place where those audiobooks now reside.  I hope that made some sense- any additional advice would be appreciated.

  • Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

    Thanks for any help!

    - Have you reset your iPod:
    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.
    - Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

  • My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    You must update your iTunes software to 10.5 first then you can upgrade to iOS 5.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    According to Apple the iPod touch 3rd gen can update to iOS 5.
    "iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

  • Itunes remote for ipod touch not working staying on passcode

    i download the itunes remote fro the ipod that lets u control itunes from the ipod touch, but the ipod touch stay's on the 4 number passcode u enter on itunes

    A friend from work came up with this, but I forgot to ask him how he came across it. I think his Ipad was working then stopped and he didn't change anything and figured out the time was off.
    If most people are having a time issue it makes sense that mostly ipod touchs' are affected, since the iphone should sync its time via cellular magic and the touchs' don't do this.
    I guess the netflix app is doing some sort of authentication and the time being off causes it issues.
    Glad someone found this information to be useful, pass it along.
