Itunes freezes after 5 seconds of syncing with 5th gen nano

Recently, Itunes will freeze when I connect my 5th generation nano to it. It will start to sync and then Itunes will freeze up. I have it connected to an USB 2.0 port and this problem hasn't happened before. Any ideas of how to fix? I've restarted my pc multiple times and it still does the same thing. Itunes works fine when the Nano isn't connected.

I don't get the "Itunes has stopped working" message but I get the same freezing situation when I try to synch the nano. Ultimately I have to kill Itunes and eject the Ipod manually. I just bought this Nano, probably about 4 days after installing the latest Itunes.

  • With 5th gen nano, how to display album artwork during playback at all times, it stays on for a few seconds and then the screen goes black? Is there a way to play and see artwork, at all times (using with a aux. speaker)

    I have a 5th gen nano, and I play it often on a aux. speaker. I would like the album artwork to display at all times while playing it here. Right now it plays for a few seconds on each song, and then goes blank. Can this be changed?

    The artwork turns black or the screen's backlight turns off?  If the backlight turns off, simply disable the backlight timer, but keep in mind this will significantly reduce your iPod's playback time and battery life.

  • Boombox or Dock w/Skrs and Charger compatible with 5th Gen Nano?

    So I'm trying to research devices that are COMPLETELY compatible with the 5th Gen Nano. Please don't recommend the Apple store as I do not find the compatibility information I seek (most manufacturers only claim w.r.t. music playback).
    Most all 3rd party devices that are "compatible" will play 5th gen Nano music through speakers (of course - what would be the point otherwise), but if they possess a charging feature, they were designed and manufactured well before Apple changed the connector arrangement on the 5th Gen Nano, and so will not charge.
    Has anyone compiled a list of devices that are compatible both in terms of music playback and charging with the 5th gens?
    Thanks.

    It's good to know someone like yourself has both 4th and 5th gen and can definitely state they charge the same (I am assuming with the same USB cable).
    So - theoretically, if I find a device that will both charge a 4th gen and playback a 4th gen, it will do the same with the 5th gen? I think this is what you are implying. That is what I am hoping.
    I cannot find this in writing, and I suspect some of the devices on the Apple Store will not play but NOT charge a 4th gen nano, so the same will be true of the 5th gen.
    OK, price-point is less than $100... portable (plays on battery) or AC powered. WILL charge a 5th gen nano. Nice if it had a remote. OK if it has a clock. OK if it has a FM tuner (how would one use the Ipod to tune FM if the earphones were not connected (used as an antenna)?
    Thank you.

  • Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod 5th gen

    im running itunes 9, but this also happenend on itunes 8.2+ so, i was wondering if anyone had a fix for this yet. it has been happening for a long time

    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 Music and Playlists Partially Syncing with 1st Gen ATV

    Anyone have this issue? My 1st gen ATV does not have all the music I've loaded in iTunes and my playlists are only partially synchronized. I've reformatted the ATV and reloaded iTunes 10 - same result.

    I'd like to update this post. Nothing from iTunes will sync with my new iPhone 4s. The only item that transferred to the phone was a ebook, but it, of course, ended up in the iBook App. I have tried rebooting both the computer and the phone, checking preferences and settings. I am baffled - and frustrated. When I first posted, when the iPhone was connected to the computer, and I went to "Music" to select playlists or genre or whatever, "Audiobooks" showed up under genre. Now Audiobooks doesn't show up anywhere. Please help. What am I not doing or doing wrong?

  • Pictures in iPhoto not syncing with 3rd gen Nano

    Hi, I posted this in the iPod discussions area also but thought someone here may have the answer.
    Hi all. When I go to sync pictures in iPhoto to my 4gig 3rd gen Nano, not all the picture are recognized. One album with 30 pics in it, only 3 are synced. this is happening in iTunes even before I hit the sync button. I have 1650 pictures in the total library but only 1495 are seen by iTunes and the Nano. Any thoughts ? thanks in advance.

    I confirm this problem.
    Since I have a iPod Classic and for a few days a iPod nano 3rd gen, I can pre-sets station on the 80GB and not on the nano.
    I suspect that the problem is not coming from the radio accessory but the nano.

  • ITunes freezes at start of sync with iPhone5

    I am using an iPhone5 connected by cable to a Mac.  All software is current.  Multiple reboots of everything tried.
    This problem started only a few weeks ago and has never happened to me in the four years I have had iphones.  When I start the sync process, the iTunes dialog hangs at "Waiting for sync to start" and I must force quit from iTunes because it is no longer responding.  If I try to sync my new iPad to the same system, I works flawlessly.  There is, therefore, some new incompatibility between my iPhone5 and my Mac.  I have read as many threads in our community as I can, and no solution works.  Help.

    FIXED!  I can't believe this, but I just noticed that the problem is completely fixed.  I have no idea if it was due to an upgrade or what.  All I know is this:  when I have a problem and post it here, it gets fixed spontaneously without any other help withing days.  I can't understand why things go wrong and then right again with my Apple devices, but that has alway been the way.  Thanks to all of you who viewed this posting and sent positive thougths my way - it worked!

  • TS1363 iTunes freezes when I connect this iPod (4th gen nano)

    I have an older (4th gen) ipod that a family member gave me.  I'd like to restore it and load it with music, but when I connect it and open iTunes, not only does iTunes not recognize it, but it completely freezes iTunes.  I'm using Windows 8, latest version of iTunes installed.  I've tried resetting the iPod, but that does not help. 
    When I check the device in control panel, it states "This device is working properly". 
    Any help is appreciated!

    Found my solution in a similar thread - I hope I can find it and thank the poster!
    It's a nuclear option, but it works!
    Connect the offending iPod to a computer that does NOT have iTunes
    You will be able to open the iPod as a Disk Drive in My Computer
    (the following steps worked on my laptop running XP; you will need to adapt to your operating system)
    Right-click on the Disk Drive when it appears
    Click on Format
    A window will pop up with some details and check boxes
    Check "Quick Format"
    You'll get a warning that everything on the drive will be erased.  Click OK. (you are trying to reset the iPod to its original factory settings so that ITunes will read it as a new iPod)
    Formatting only took a minute or so on my computer
    Eject the iPod (Click the icon in your taskbar at the bottom of the screen)
    Now, take the iPod back to the computer with your iTunes on it and connect it.  (Close iTunes and reopen it if you haven't already) You should see a Welcome to your new iPod screen and be able to start over again syncing music, etc. 
    It worked for me! 

  • I am trying to sync my 5th gen. nano. However, I keep getting an error message.  The message says:  The iPod, "whoever's" iPod cannot be synced. The file format is not valid.  Don't know what to do except restore factory settings.

    I could not find anything on this particular problem on apples support site.  Any suggestions would be greatly apprecaited.

    You need to be very specific.  Exactly what are you syncing over to your iPod Nano?  Can't help you unless we know which files are problematic.
    Are you manually syncing or automatically syncing?  If the latter, try syncing manually.
    If you are getting the "the file format is not valid" message, suggest that you check out KB Article:  http://support.apple.com/kb/sp569 which will tell you which files are "acceptable."

  • ITunes freezes after a sync and then clicking to disconnect

    My iTunes is behaving very strangely lately.  After I've done a sync (with my iPod Nano 6th gen), which works fine, and then click the disconnect button iTunes locks-up.  It displays the spinning beach ball but never stops and I can't quit iTunes without a forced quit.  On top of that, if I try to restart my Mac, my computer will not restart/shut-down etc. without a hard stop (pressing the on-button until it turns off).
    In addition, just this week I been getting a message that say "The selected movie won't play on your display", "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)".   This may be an unrelated issue but if you have any thoughts let me know.
    Help!  Any ideas as to what this may be?  I've already tried to reinstall iTunes again (latest version).  Thanks in advance for any help.
