ITunes freezes after upgrading, and connecting ipod.

itunes freezes and hangs after connecting ipod touch. I have reinstalled itunes and got it to work ONCE! Please help! I have tried EVERYTHING on the apple website and NOTHING works.

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.

  • Found Solution(?) for iTunes freeze after files copying to iPod

    I have a fairly new (2-3 months old) iPod Video and it worked fine for a good while. At some point any time I made an alteration to the files on the iPod (like a play list) or added files everything would freeze up once the action was completed. I would have to ctrlaltdel and bring up the Task Manager and force iTunes to quit. If I worked with a playlist or whatever on the iPod or worked with a playlist on the computer, everything was fine -- it was after copying files from the computer to the iPod where things messed up. Nobody seemed to know what to do... I couldn't find a solution online with Apple either -- though I did reinstall iTunes, Quicktime and the iPod software...
    A week or two ago I, for some reason, was messing around while my iPod was attached to my computer and noticed I could select it for a defrag with Disk Defragmenter. I decided I'd see HOW fragmented the thing was. Pretty much! I went ahead and ran the defrag and, low and behold, everything works like it should now! Back to normal!
    So, I assume that is what my problem was. If anyone else has a similar problem you might look at this...
    Good luck!

    By playing them you have made changes - to the last played date and the play count. If you rated or re-rated the song, that would also count as a change. If youre iPod is set to auto-sync, iTunes would write those changes back to your iPod. I'm not sure, though, why it would do that if you manually sync.

  • ITunes freezes after upgrade

    I have recently upgraded iTunes to 6.0.4.2 & am having a real problem with it freezing. It is a bit erratic, but when trying to synch photos on my 5G iPod video I can click on options ok, get the photo options box up ok, but then when I try to browse for the folder, it just freezes. If I click on anything there is a "ding" and a ghost of a box flashes up, but nothing else happens. Ctrl/alt/del shows it as still running and I have to manually close everything and restart. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both iTunes & QT to the latest versions but still the same problem. Any ideas?? I can't update!!

    Did you update the iPod software, too?
    Funny things can happen with new iTunes and old iPod software.

    You have to download the updater, install it, and then run it with iTunes shut down. Don't plug in the iPod until it asks for it.

  • ITunes freezing after upgrade to 12.1.1.4

    I recently upgraded iTunes to 12.1.1.4 on a Win 7pro 64bit system and now iTunes freezes when opening.  It seems to be attempting to reach iTunes Store and just thinks until it locks up.  I have to force quit it and the only way to get it working again is to reboot my system.  When I do that, it will start up fine but if I close it throughout the day and re-open, it hangs again..  I tried to repair and re-install but get the same results...  Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies. The notes below the box include tips on removing troublesome components.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • ITunes 11 freezing while transfering music, and can't eject it, so I need to disconnect the cable, then iTunes works just fine and my iPod Shuffle is in restoring mode. I've been having this issue for weeks, and never had it before with iTunes 10.

    iTunes 11 freezes and can't eject my iPod, so I need to disconnect the cable, then iTunes works just fine and my iPod Shuffle is in restoring mode. I've been having this issue for weeks, and never had it before with iTunes 10. Please tell me at least a way to eject it without losing all my data and being forced to format/restore the iPod.    I've got 2GB iPod Shuffle 2nd generation(:D)

    As a test, shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used).  If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power).  Do this to reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  Does this problem recur when the shuffle is the only USB device?
    If it does (as another test), select the shuffle in iTunes, so that its Settings screen is showing.  Check the box for Enable disk use, and Apply.  Does that make any difference regarding this problem?

  • Cannot connect to iTunes Store after upgrade to ios 5 - iPad2

    After upgranding my iPad2 to the ios5 I lost the connection to the apple store and the iTunes. I already reseted my password using the web, but I still cannot access the iTunes using the iPad2, but I CAN access the iTunes using my iphone4 and my ipod touch. Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this mistery?

    Try here >  Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    On the iPhone, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Restart your iPhone. Try connecting to the iTunes Store.

    Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

    Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

  • Can't update iTunes Match after upgrading to 11.1.5

    Hi,
    Is anyone else (in Australia) having problems with iTunes Match after upgrading to iTunes 11.1.5 on Mac? I’ve found that whenever I play a track (i.e. update the play count), set a rating or edit a playlist, all my cloud songs become greyed out, the updates are not synced to the cloud (don’t appear on other devices), the iTunes Cloud music icon gets a lightning bolt through it (lost connect), and then my changes are lost. I can reconnect as many times as I like (by clicking on the cloud icon or restarting iTunes) and for a while everything ‘looks’ fine (can download and play songs) but actually nothing is saved to the cloud and the lightning bolt appears again when I make any of the above updates. I have another computer that still has 11.1.4 and iTunes Match is working fine on it.
    James

    Thanks Michael, I’d already tried both those (including applying the latest OS X security update and restarting). I kept trying to use iTunes Match every hour, and eventually it started working on my 11.1.5 computer and has staying working for the rest of the day. 11.1.4 was working the whole time.

  • Itunes freezes if iphone is connected multiple times?

    One of the many annoyances of my phone. Currently running windows vista with iso4 and the lastest version of itunes. For some reason I've found that when my computer first starts up my iphone connects to itunes fine, will sync, stay connected, everything is normal. But if I eject it and then attempt to plug it back in, itunes will freeze up and stop responding. I will then have to either close it via task manager, or unplug my iphone (as soon as phone is unplugged itunes resumes functioning normally). On the handful of occasions where I've waited out the itunes freeze, after 5-10 minutes itunes may start responding again but does not recognize my iphone and does not display it under "devices". During this time also, my iphone does not indicate that it is charging but indicates that it is connected (with the green battery showing up as my wallpaper). The only way to connect it again normally is to reboot my computer. What could be causing this?

    Here is the fix:
    1. If frozen iTunes is open and iPhone is connected, right-click the task bar and select Start Task Manager.
    2. Click on the Processes tab.
    3. Look for the process distnoted.exe *32 entry.
    4. Right-click and select End Process.
    5. iTunes will now unfreeze.
    6. Close iTunes and disconnect iPhone. Wait 15 seconds.
    7. Reconnect iPhone. iTunes will launch automaticallly like it should and your iPhone will begin to sync like it should.
    There appears to be an incompatibility issue with Apple's distnoted.exe process and maybe 64-bit OS's. All I know is that this works everytime although there doesn't appear to be a permanent fix to this issue. You may have to repeat these steps everytime you reboot your computer or update iTunes.

  • When I try to update my iPod touch I get a message that the iTunes is already upgraded. My iPod is 4.1

    Do you have a 2G, 3G or 4G iPod?
    A 2G can go to 4.2.1
    A 3G and 4G ro 5.1

    If a Mac OSX 10.4.11 you need to update to t least 10.5.8. With 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X and going beyond 4.1 requires 10.X

    I have the same problem with my ipod touch ... but im trying to find a way to fix it without restoring it...
    but one fix is to shut it down completely ... then press and hold BOTH the power button and the home button .. hold both of those 4 ten seconds .. then release the power button but still hold down the home button .. and then it'll show something that says "connect to itunes" once u get it connected to itunes , click the restore button ... BEWARE THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR IPOD!!! IT WILL RESTORE IT BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS , AS IF U JUST BOUGHT IT !!!!! then it should work fine again .. but u will lose all data on there besides the things you have synced with itunes already..
    Thats y im iffy with doing this , im trying to find a fix where i wont have 2 restore it but i dont think there is 1 :'(
    good luck tho
