Itunes freezes everytime I try to manually updated my ipod nano

Whenever the ipod updates automatically the sync works but I have too much music to fit on the ipod and therefore I need to choose the songs I want on my ipod but everytime I try to manually pick the songs and then click apply it starts to sync and freezes. I have the most recent version of itunes (itunes 10).

ITunes freezes when I try to transfer songs to iPod Nano!

I just got my iPod Nano. Every time I try to transfer music to it from iTunes, iTunes freezes and must be force-quit after only a few songs have transferred. I am using the latest version of iTunes and no software updates for the Nano have been made available. Please help!

I had the same problem and this was my temporary fix to the problem, let me know if it works. But first lets make sure that I am having the same issues. Mine will get the spinning ball when trying to transfer songs. Then if I unplug it and try and replug it in, the Nano doesn't even register being attached.
First, I restarted the Mac, and zapped the PRAM 3 times.(Command, option, P + R after the startup chime) Let the computer restart fully, meaning the OS is up and running before you start iTunes. Start iTunes, then plug in the Nano. It should show up. At that point I started transferring songs at about 5 at a time. It didn't freeze, but I got the impression it came close judging by the speed it transferred. It may only be a temporary fix, but I got it to work.
Like I said let me know if it works.

Where is your library file? If it is on a network share rather than a local disk that can cause a big slowdown.
Every change in the library requires that all smart playlists are reevaluated and the library is rewritten to disc. As your library grows the time taken to perform these actions will grow exponentially rather than linearly.
As to duplicates, I've written a script called DeDuper which you might find useful. See this thread for background.

ITunes Freezes when I try to sync my new iPod Touch

I can't sync my new iPod with my iTunes library. I have posted in the iTunes forum, although my title says that I have solved the issue. It isn't, so I'm contemptlating reposting.
I bought a 64gig iPod Touch the other day to replace an old broken iPod. When I try to sync it with my main iTunes library, after a short while (5-500 songs) iTunes freezes and won't shut down. I have on a couple of occasions got a message saying the the computer can't write to the iPod, or the iPod isn't responding, or an "Unknown Error".
It seems to work fine with my laptop.
I found a page on fixing "Unknown Errors" and have tried most of the suggestions.
I've tried:
*) Uninstalling and Reinstalling iTunes several times
*) Resetting and restoring my iPod several times
*) Updating my drivers - they are all up to date apparently
*) Stopping all unnecessary programs and services from running on start up
*) Creating a new user account and trying to sync my iPod from there. I have successfully managed to sync the iPod with a small number of songs or a film on my own account, so I need to test it with a fairly big library. I copied my main iTunes library into iTunes on the new account. The sync hasn't worked (although it is syncing the same files).
I found a post with a google search that suggested it could be a power drain on my USB port / Bus, or somet fhing like that. Not sure exactly what that means, but it sounded plausible. I have recently upgraded my graphics card.
I did also see a solution posted that suggested formatting the iPod using My Computer and the iPod icon, but I can't imagine that would do anything more than the restore iPod option in the iPod menu?
Can anyone help? Getting a bit fed up now... I've had the iPod a couple of weeks and have barely been able to use it yet.

Are you using security software on your PC? If yes, try to disable the software or check the settings. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

My iTunes keeps freezing everytime I try to download a purchased song. Working 10.5.8. Help!

You may need to update to iTunes 10.7, which would require OS X 10.6.8.
But you can first try to reboot your computer and router/modem

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 freezes whenever I try to open it

I installed the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1) and QuickTime. According to Apple Software Update, both of these programs are up-to-date. However, iTunes freezes when I try to listen to my music library by clicking on a song. I have already uninstalled and installed iTunes & QuickTime several times to no avail. Is anyone experiencing the same problem as I am?
Any suggestions?

Itunes freezes when i try to log in in to my apple id :(

Itunes freezes when i try to log in in to my apple id(apple store)
and it is not because of the update

Exact Same issue!
I haven't tried using a new profile but the moment I click on the Sign Out link under my user name in the store, iTunes freezes and needs to be killed.
Reinstalls haven't helped, sometimes out of the blue it works fine but in most cases iTunes is now practically unusable for me.
This started recently after the update and I can't pinpoint any other major change to my system.

Why everytime i try to download/update any application i get error code: 1009

why everytime i try to download/update any application i get error code: 1009 either from App Store in my iPhone or from iTunes???

Hi all.
I had the 1013 error, have never Jailbroken my phone.
Udating the firmware casued it to go into recovery mode and got stuck in the 1013 error loop.
Tried editing the Host file, new computer, itunes re-install, different USB port, anti-virus off etc, NOTHING was working.
Just as I was tempted to launch it at some unwitting object/person, cancel my contract and defacate on Apple's porch, I managed to sort it purely by restoring my phone without the sim card in.
No idea why, dont know why i havnt seen it mentioned before either. Hopefully it may help some of you in the same situation.
Thanks

ITunes freezes on backing up iPad while updating the software to ios 8.

iTunes freezes on backing up iPad while updating the software to ios 8. Please help asap

Hi tac.sharma,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know circumstances that keep you from updating your iPad can be frustrating. In this situation I would make sure your iPad is backed up to the iCloud, just to make sure your information is safe. After you have that backup, I would suggest following the steps in the attached article to help you through this update process with iTunes.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Windows 8 or Windows RT? iTunes won't run on Windows RT. It should run on Windows 8. Use the appropriate installer from an account with administrator privileges.
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics?

Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics from card?

Thanks for your response. When it comes to computers, I am almost
illiterate. I have a HP Pavillion PC and have used Photoshop Elements 5.0
for a number of years. Computer crashed couple of weeks ago and I sent it
back to HP. They returned it with new guts I think. Had to reinstall my
programs and use my external backup to get all the stuff back, including
about 11,000 pics. Now, every time I try to put the SD card in to download
the pics to the Organizer, it downloads about 4 or 5 pics and freezes.
Have to use task manager to get PC going again. Been doing the same thing
for years and this just happened since I got new PC back. Is that any help?
'preciate your response.

If iTunes Freezes when you try to Burn a CD, here's the FIX

I have read many posts about iTunes freezing when you try to burn a cd. This worked for me and it should work for you. It's a quite simple fix, but here goes:
If iTunes freezes when you:
1) Click on the Burning tab in your Preferances
OR
2) When you click on the Burn CD button
Steps To Recovery:
1) Completely Uninstall iTunes
2) Reinstall iTunes
3) If it still freezes either repair iTunes (using the file you used to install iTunes) or follow steps 1 and 2 again.
I hope this helps,
Corbin
