Itunes freezes after I plug in my 4.3 updated Iphone.

I updated itunes to the most recent version and then updated my iphone4 to version 4.3. Everything seemed to have finished and worked ok until I went to try and sync my iphone again. I open itunes and it works fine but as soon as I plug in my iphone itunes frezes and my iphone never shows up. As soon as I unplug the phone itunes works fine again. Same with the iphone, as soon as its not connected everything works fine but when I connect it itunes freezes and in task manager it says that itunes is not responding. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,

Here is the actual solution. This was making me crazy too.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.0.2)
Plug your USB cable into your computer.
Turn your iPhone off by holding the power button down until you see “slide to power off”. Do as instructed.
Now press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to your iPhone. After iPhone is connected it should power on the device.
Continue holding the Home button, you will see the Apple logo appear and then finally a “Connect to iTunes” will be displayed, now is the time to release the Home button. You will then see the following image:
After this DO NOT RESTORE YOUR DEVICE!!
Unplug your device and turn it off holding the power button only.
Now start your device again, it will start up like normal.
Now plug it back into your computer.
Itunes should see it as normal and not freeze anymore.
Good Luck!

ITunes Freezes everytime iPod plug

Good day. My iTunes freezes everytime I plug my iPod classic into the pc. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks

I am having the same problem so I am going to bump your message...
iTunes freezes when I update my iPod and I get no error messages. It becomes unresponsive and I end up having to use Task Manager to close the program. When I reopen iTunes and try updating again it usually will but then I cannot disconnect the iPod because it says it is "being used by another application". I have to go into My Computer to eject the iPod. Also, after updating is complete the "Do Not Disconnect" continues to flash until the iPod is ejected. I have reinstalled iTunes, iPod updater, the whole bit and nothing has helped. I'm on Win XP.

ITunes freezing when iPod plugged in...

Recently I noticed that a vast majority of my music had dissapeared from my iPod, as if I had deleted it. I have no idea why such a thing woud happen, but I figured that it wasn't a problem since I could just plug it into my computer and sync it. However, after syncing several times, the music did not return to my iPod, and now iTunes freezes whenever I plug it in. Without it connected, iTunes appears to function perfectly fine, however when I connect my iPod it freezes immediately. A long time after unplugging it again, iTunes gives me a message about it not being recognized (or something to that effect). I have already tried deleting the contents of the Sync Services folder, which seemed to help many others with this problem. What can I do to fix this?

Your nano uses a totally different way to sync with iTunes than the touch. You need to follow the troubleshooting tips in this article about removing and reinstalling iTunes.

My Itunes freezes when I plug in my ipod and wont verify or sync

My Itunes freezes every time I try to plug in my ipod classic. It wont verify my ipod so it can't sync or update it. I have to shut down and restart my computer to get it to function at all. I have had my ipod for awhile and have had no problems with it and my Iphone connects and syncs just fine. My Itunes is up dated with the latest version and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have reset my ipod multiple times. I can't even restore my ipod because it freezes so fast I cant get the restore started. Someone PLEASE HELP!!

Itunes freezes after upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 on connecting iPhone 5.
I tried it with a differnt Iphone and the results are the same. Any suggestions?

Hi JZN1994,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that after updating your computer to 10.9.3 iTunes stops responding when an iPhone is connected to it. There may be few different steps you will need to go through to get this resolved. I suggest working through the steps in the attached article.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

After loading the latest sofware with an update, (iphone 4 /5.0) I do not have zoom any longer with my camera, can I correct after loading the latest sofware with an update, (iphone 4 /5.0) I do not have zoom any longer with my camera, can I correct this?

After loading the latest software with an update, iphone 4/ 5.0, I do not have zoom with the camera any longer, can I correct this or is it a software item?

Steve:
Welcome to Apple Communities. The Zoom feature has changed a little in iOS5. To activate the zoom, "pinch" the screen with two fingers. You will see the screen zoom and will also now see the slider that you use to see when tapping the screen.
Hope this helps.

Itunes freezes after plugging in ipod

I need help!!!
Okay, I downloaded itunes 7 and everything was fine. Music playback, sound quality, and my playlists were fine. So I installed version 1.2 of the ipod software. Now everytime I update my ipod, itunes freezes in mid-update and doesn't respond.

If you are subscribed to lots of podcasts, go change them to manually update.
Which is what I had my preference set for in v6, but v7 changed it back to auto update podcasts. And with about 15 podcasts going...it brought my PC to its knees.
Hope that helps!

2.2.1 Upgrade and now Itunes freezes when I plug in the phone

I upgraded yesterday to 2.2.1. A short while later i went to Sync the Iphone 3G to update my music, and Itunes stuck on "Syncing". I had to force quit. I have restarted my Iphone and Mac but as soon as i plug in the Iphone it shows it is syncing on the phone as well as next to the Iphone name in the Itunes window. This then freezes after about 30 secs.
I managed to quit the Syncing from the Iphone screen and then tried to restore the Iphone. again it just freezes after about 30 secs.
I tried syncing my old Ipod and this worked fine! So i think it must be the Iphone not Itunes.
The Iphone still works but just wont talk to Itunes. How can I resolve this please.

I am also having the same results, but different problem. I can successfully sync my iphone to my computer, but for some reason, certain songs and videos cause my itunes to stop everything and I need to close it. When I uncheck the box next to it to sync, everything works perfectly. This would be fine, but I WANT THOSE SONGS ON MY IPHONE!
HELP ME!!!!!!

ITunes Freezes when I plug in my Ipad

I'm on a Windows 7 PC, and have installed the latest Version of Itunes 10.2.2.12.
I have had the Ipad 2 for exactly 5 days, and have successfully synced the thing a total of 3 times... Only right after I intially install (Or reinstall) Itunes. Everytime I try to connect the Ipad now, one of 3 things happens.
1. Itunes freezes completley, and never starts responding again.
2. Itunes freezes momentarily, but never shows that the Ipad is connected.
3. Itunes Doesn't do anything... just dosn't realize there is an Ipad connected.
I've reinstalled a total of 3 times, and only then am I able to sync... and only once.
Now the PC actually recognizes that I have an Ipad linked, as it shows the icon, and says that my ipod is connected in the system tray

I have experienced the same issue.
I see the following behavior:
hangs sometimes when plugging in ipad. ipad does not seem to recognize synching. unplugging ipad in this situation unfreezes itunes.
re-plugging in ipad sometimes works while itunes is up. Most always works if itunes is shutdown before plugging in ipad.
I have re-installed itunes from scratch several times. I believe that this has improved the situation temporarily but I generally see it return eventually.

ITunes freezes when I plug my ipod in

This problem started when iTunes said it couldn't sync some of the songs to my ipod. I think it said my ipod was corrupt or something like that so I tried to restore it. It froze after the restore, so I unplugged the iPod. It works when it's not plugged in, there's just nothing on it. When I plug it into the computer iTunes freezes. I tried doing reformatting it through Windows in disk mode, then it showed up in iTunes as corrupt. I restored it and the same thing happened. I don't know what to do; does anyone know anything about this?

If the above steps don't work, I went through a lot of trial and error to fix mine but found that this method worked great.
1. Press and hold select and menu to reset.
2. When the apple comes up, press select and play to put the iPod in disk mode.
3. Plug iPod in and make sure iTunes recognizes it. It will still give you an error but ignore it.
4. Find out what the iPod drive name is. Mine is G: so be careful what you put in because this will completely format any drive you type in.
Open up CMD from the run or start menu. Type in:
Format G: /FS:FAT32.
(Remember to replace G: with whatever drive your iPod is.)
Then hit enter. It may take a while. This will start the iPod format.
5. When that is finished, you will get an error that says something like the drive is too big for FAT. Ignore this.
6. Eject the iPod using iTunes and then press the select and menu button to reset the iPod back into normal mode.
7. Plug the iPod back in. You will get a message on Windows saying that you need to format it again. Ignore this.
8. Restore the iPod using iTunes.
This method will completely wipe the iPod and formats the entire thing to its original file format. I have read that doing this can reduce the life of the iPod, but better than having a iPod paper weight. This method made mine run like new again. I found that using the Windows Format Utility doesn't work to well. The CMD format seemed to do the trick. Hope this helps.

Itunes freezes when itouch plugged in

Please, every time i plug in my itouch, itunes freezes and becomes unresponsive, if you do not have an answer could you please at least tell me how to email support?

So I fixed my problem! Here's what I did:
-Since my Touch didn't work to connect to iTunes, I deleted my applications that I just installed prior to the freezing problem manually (touch and hold an app shortcut until they all jiggle around and have the "x" on the top left corner of the shortcut, then tap the "x" to delete it)
(don't worry the applications should be stored on your computer)
-My iPod still froze when I tried to go to playlists and tap on the screen while playing a song
-I plugged my Touch into my computer and then let it and iTunes do their thing, they appeared to freeze again but I just left them alone and eventually it worked and started actually syncing my iPod and fully function properly again
-After I disconnected my Touch I was able to access the in song menu (repeat, genius, shuffle, progress bar) and get into my playlists without my iPod freezing
Problem solved
You just have to be patient when plugging the iPod into your comp. it will take some time and be unresponsive for a while, but give it time and it will sort itself out and you will be on your merry way again! I would suggest doing it during the night so you can just leave it run because it may take a while.
