ITunes freezes when changing settings

Help
I'm trying to change some settings in playback- specifically the Sound Enhancer and Sound Check (or any setting for that matter) freezes iTunes. I get "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working" Solutions?
Thanks, rales

No, I uninstalled Apple Mobile device support and had no problems with my iPod.
If you are worried you can always put it back by doing a repair install of iTunes.

IPod freezes when changing settings in iTunes

Well, I thought I fixed one problem after doing a restore, but now I have a new problem. If I check the "Sync only checked songs" in iTunes and click "Apply", iTunes freezes and gets the spinning wheel going. Now what? Versions are iTunes 10.6, iPod Nano 1.2.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

My itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....help!!

I have installed the new update (Windows 8 64 bit) & my itunes freezes when I connect my ipod.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

Please help!
My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD
This also happens in safe mode
My driver is up to date

We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

ITunes freezes when I'm trying to eject iPod (classic, 160GB)

I JUST got my new MacBook and iPod like 3 days ago and now all of a sudden iTunes freezes when I'm trying to eject iPod.
It's very annoying considering I never had this problem w/my old MacBook or my old iPod and this stuff is brand new!
I know a lot of people have similar problem. Did ANYONE find out what to do with it? Or do I have to drive to Apple Store again?
Thank you!

ITunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences

iTunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences and also when attempting to hit burn cd button in lower left corner.

Thank you SO much!!! This is Exactly the problem I was having. I have spent untold hours in the last couple of days trying to resolve not only iTunes freezing up, but my network connectivity went bust as well. I like Blink so I'm undecided about whether to uninstall it yet, so I just disabled all of its firewall settings, and presto!... I can not only get my CD/DVD player to read and burn CD's, but iTunes and my computer remain functional. I got my computer to reconnect to the internet by doing a System Restore at a point prior to my trying to burn a CD. Thanks again so much. You saved my entire week!

Itunes freezing when trying to sync

Anyone run into itunes freezing when syncing and then an error message popping up saying "Cannot sync ipod. An unkown error occured." Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling itunes 9. And still same problem.

Same for a friend of mine who's at his wits end. Here's what he writes:
When I connect the iPhone to my USB outlet (I am running Windows XP), Photoshop Downloader launches immediately. After the photos are downloaded, I find that iTunes has completely frozen. It doesn't respond to any mouse clicks and I have to do control-alt-click to close it down. This happens whether iTunes was running before I connected the iPhone or not. I think the problem is the iPhone, since my iPod still syncs normally with iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I have turned the computer on and off. I have reset all settings on the iPhone. I have in fact tried every suggestion on the Apple site.

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.

Itunes Freezes when attempting to Burn CD's

My itunes freezes when I attempt to burn CD's. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes with no change. I have attempted to update CD/DVD burner drivers. No luck any advice?

I just used Nero to burn cds as opposed to iTunes.

Itunes freezes when burning CDs

Similar post to others here. Since upgrade to IT 6, Itunes freezes when trying to burn some CDs. IT shows as "not-responding" in task manager. Seems to happen when burning CDs with newly downloaded tracks, perhaps in combination with imported tracks. I've tried several suggestions posted here.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes and Quicktime
- Installed updated BIOS, chipset, and CD R drivers
No luck.
Sometimes if I wait 3-5 minutes it will start the burn. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Log follows.

The computer just freezes and according to Task Manager, iTunes takes 100% of the computer's resources.
Help! Any suggestions?

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!!

I'd suggest you post your question on the iTunes for Windows forum. This forum is meant for getting Windows to run on a Mac.

Tried restore OSX mountain lion, doesn't work. what should i do?

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.
