ITunes freezes every time I try to connect my iTouch.

I just got a new iMac OS 10.7.2. I have 2 ipods, a nano and a touch. I can connect my nano to iTunes without any problems but when I plug in the touch, iTunes will freeze. I have noticed that my touch does not appear on my desktop. It will appear in iTunes but as soon as it does, the program freezes. I have tried connecting the touch then opening iTunes but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I can't find any settings in iTunes or on my touch that seem like they would fix this problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

  • ITunes crashes every time I try to connect to the iTunes Store

    I have iTunes 11. I already restarted my computer and that didn't work. Any suggestions other than the very tedious uninstall and reinstall the whole thing? I tried running the installer for iTunes and selected "Repair" but that didn't work either.

    Try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

    Anyone know how to fix this? Every reference I have found is old, nothing recent like Lion or newest ver of iTunes.

  • I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

    I recently purchased a movie (Prometheus) on my computer through iTunes and every time I try to put it on my iPhone, it fails. How can I successfully sync this video? Mind you, every other file syncs flawlessly.

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • Computer freezes every time i try to copy single song from a cd

    It may be the drive is set to PIO instead of DMA. I;ll try to descrabe in steps what to do to check this.
    1) Goto control panel>system>hardware tab>Device manager
    2) Double click IDE ATA controllers
    3) Rightclick "Secondary channel" and hit properties this is usually the channel most CD ROMs are on, you system my vary
    4) Goto the "Advanced settings" tab and see if it say PIO. If it does goto step 5,
    5) Hit "Cancel" and back in the device manager where you see "Secondary channel" rightclick it and hit Uninstall
    6) close everything and reboot the PC so windows will load the channel back up in DMA mode

  • ITunes freezes every time I click on "movies"

    I was hoping that 8.1.1 was going to fix my issue, but iTunes still freezes every time I try to watch a movie. I click on "movies" in the Library list, the thumbnails of my movies come up, and then it freezes (spinning pinwheel, Activity Monitor shows all read, and I am forced to "Force Quit").
    I have experienced this since the last version of iTunes. I can't even drag them onto my iPod to watch them. Help please.

    I was able to fix this freezing in movies issue by going to file-add to library then selecting all my movies from the movies folder inside iTunes Music folder and letting iTunes 'add them' It took some time to complete (maybe 20 minutes) but it is working well now and not freezing.

  • I installed the latest itunes update, 11.4.0.18. Now itunes crashes every time I try to open it.

    I installed the latest itunes update, 11.4.0.18. Now itunes crashes every time I try to open it.

    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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Crystal Reports freezes every time I try to open a report.

    Crystal Reports freezes every time I try to open a report. I feel like it has something to do with trying to locate the default printer, but Im not certain. Crystal Reports opens just fine,but the moment I try to open any report it just hangs. Please help!

    My problem is very similar to this person's. I have 2 laptops with CR XI installed (same problem from original R2 through SP 5).  The old laptop is an IBM Thinkpad R51. The new one is an HP Elitebook 6930p. Both have the exact same software and versions of Win XP and network security.
    If I try to open a report that has an "invalid printer" selected, it will open in the old IBM (with the message, 'This report uses an invalid printer. The default printer will be used instead'), but on the new HP, it freezes and I have to do a CtlAltDel to get out.
    I've tried everything Don Williams suggested, but the only thing that is logged in Admin Tools when this happens is a Security/Privilege Request" with no errors.
    Clearly, when CR in the HP looks for the printer selected in the report and doesn't find it, that causes CR to freeze.
    Any idea what difference between the 2 machines could cause this?
    This is a royal pain, because I can only be on one computer at a time.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

    why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

    Do you have gfxCardStatus installed?  Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete".  You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
    <About NVRAM and PRAM>
    <Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
    Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
    Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
    Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

    " you cant openthe application ) because Power PC applications are no longer supported." this is very annoying as i likeBT and the way it opens with all the local up to date news plus other apps +++ 
    Please can anyone help me as apple will not help unless i sign up for a new product agreement which i cannot understand as every thing worked before this so called very latest software that everyone cant do without  ?????

    I had the same problem with some apps and printer setup software. SInce Rosetta has been discontinued on Lion my only solution was to restore to 10.6 since the manufacturers either have not yet or will not release updated apps. In this case you have to determine how important those old PPC apps are to keep around and if there alternitives that are available to replace the functionality. I would expect a broadband provider to update thier apps if it is something that is required to connect.

  • Why is it that every time I try to connect to the Internet with my Mac the whole Wi-Fi system comes down and it's only when I turn on my Mac

    Every time I try to connect to the Internet my Mac always makes the Wi-Fi turned off and we have lots of iPads and iPhones and they are fine when we try to use them but as soon as I my Mac it doesn't work. When we have a PC try to connect to the Internet nothing happens but when I try to connect to the Internet with my Mac the Internet turns off

  • ITunes freezes every time it opens

    I'm at a loss... I don't know what else to do so hopefully someone has an answer. A few weeks ago I opened iTunes to play a song, and it stopped responding. I tried to force quit, and iTunes closed, but the program said it was still open in the dock. I tried to restart my computer, but it wouldn't work. After using activity monitor, force quitting, everything I knew, I had to hard restart.
    I opened iTunes again. Same problem. Had to hard restart. I heard of some issues accessing files on external drives... so, I deleted iTunes, moved my 350 gig iTunes library to a different drive, repaired permissions, redownloaded iTunes, and tried again. Same problem. I can't use iTunes. Every time I try to open it, it stops responding and the only way to restart my computer is holding down the power button.
    I've been without my music for two weeks now and I'm going crazy. What else can I do??

    try these user tips:
    try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
    and, if you have flip4mac installed
    I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
    From the log:
    PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
    PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
    This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.
