Itunes freezes when I connect 30g 5th generation ipod

I hope someone can help.
I've got a 30g 5th generation ipod which Ive had no problems with until recently but now when I connect it to my laptop itunes opens as normal but then doesn't respond. itunes doesn't appear to recognise my ipod and it is completely frozen it won't even close down.
itunes works fine when my ipod isn't connected and my ipod is fine when it's not connected.
I've downloaded the latest version itunes that didn't help and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the ipod drivers that hasn't worked. I don't know what to try next.

Frozen screen on iPod. This happened for the first time since I have my iPod (3 years). I too was wondering if it had something to do with the latest release of iTunes 8.2 (23). The "Do not Disconnect" screen appeared on the iPod, and ITunes wouldn't even recognize it. After a lot of frustrating attempts, I did the Select-Menu reboot and got out of that screen and just unplugged the iPod. Thankfully all my playlists and library remained intact. Oddly enough, my little 1GB shuffle came up in the iTunes menu but all the music was gone. Both iPods were fully charged.

Itunes freezes when I connect my iphone 4s

My itunes freezes when I connect my iphone 4s. I've tried re-installing & previous versions. When I use another laptop it works so the problem lies with my laptop which is Windows XP 32 bit with latest updates. Can anyone suggest a solution?

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.

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!

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.

Itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....possible corrupt file?

I reinstalled itunes to the latest version.
And I'm still having the same problem: My itunes freezes whenever I connect my ipod. And when i disconnect it, it unfreezes and it shows "My Ipod" in itunes for like a second then goes away.
Now, when I reinstalled again, i noticed a message saying that Windows is missing components required to fully install Itunes (itunes installed anyway) or something like that. Now, i connected it to my parents' pc and it works fine.
Is there something wrong with my pc? Is there a different program where i can transfer my music to my ipod? (I am using Windows XP btw)
Also is there a way to move all the songs on my ipod to an external hard drive?

Similar problem here:
When I'm playing songs with iTunes and connecting my 3G 20GB iPod, my computer will hang up completely - screen goes dark and I have to reset my PC.
However, when my iTunes is "idle", i.e. not playing a song or doing anything else, connecting and syncing the iPod will work just fine.
I'm using the newest (6.x) Version of iTunes on WinXP SP2 with a 3G iPod 20GB.

Itunes freezes when I connect my 80G Ipod Classic

This has been happening for a while now, and I couldn't figure it out so I just stopped using my Ipod. I can still listen to the music on there, but its getting old and I want to put new stuff on it. But thats when the problem occurs.
I plug in my Ipod using a standard cable to the USB ports. First I get a messagr from windows asking me if I want to scan and fix any errors with the Ipod. This nevver does anything, and it just sits there infinitely so I always hit no. At this point, Itunes is opening. It opens, I can see the main screen, but By now it is already frozen. When I click on it, I verify this. It turns white and doesn't do anything. EVER. FOREVER. (I have also downloaded another program as an alternative to Itunes to see if it will work, but it does the same thing. Freezes.) So I know its not Itunes. The ipod on the other hand shows what it normally shows. That it is connected and to eject before disconnecting etc....As soon as I unplug my ipod, everything unfreezes and I'm looking at my Itunes home.
I read somehwere that Podcasts might be causing this, and it said that I have to delete all Podcasts in order to fix this. I REALLY want to try this, but I can't possibly delete the god forsaken podcasts off without the use of Itunes.
Also, I really really don't want to restore the Ipod, Because theres a **** Ton of music on here that I put from my Old PC that I no longer have anymore. So if anyone knows a solution that doesn't involve doing that, that would be top priority. If I do need to do that, POST AWAY. I'm starting to get desperate anyway...
Thanks in advance, and hopefully someone else has resolved this issue. I am standing by to provide ANY more info that you need from me.
IPod Classic 80GB
Itunes Version 10.6.1.7

I would suggest that when you are adding music to your iPod,
Connect to USB 2.0 port at the back of the PC and dont use any USB hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices
Preferably disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus program
If you do a Disk Diagnostic on your iPod, there would be high numbers on the Realloc and Pending Sectors, which is causing the sync failures and Itunes freeze. The excellent post by tt2 will help you understand your problem.
Have a nice day!

ITunes freezes when i connect iPod?!

I've had my iPod one week - one week!!! - and already something has gone wrong.
iTunes works fine when I'm just listening to music or what have you, but when I plug in my iPod, within a few minutes the iTunes freezes. iPod says not to disconnect, I have no choice but to, and have to alt-control-delete to get rid of iTunes.
iPod seems normal....plays fine when I'm using it and stuff. Basically they work fine independently but when I connect them, it all goes wrong.
So is it the iPod or the iTunes that's poorly, and how do I fix it?! Please help!
Lucy. x

OKay, I've somehow managed to fix this problem (not sure how, changed the settings I think) but in doing so I've managed to wipe my iPod, and when I tried to put music back on, half the music has suddenly got exclamation marks by them and won't play.
What have I done?!

Problem with new ITune 7.01, Itunes freezes when I connect my nano!

My Itunes freezes when i connect my Ipad. Help?

I have a 3rd gen Ipad with version 6.1.3 installed and Itunes 11.0.2.26 installed. I am trying to connect my ipad to my laptop (windows 7). Each time I connect the USB cable, Itunes recognizes the ipad and trys to connect to it. As it trys Itunes freezes and i canot do anything. (if i am listening to music it wil continue until that song is done) The rest of my computer is fine and not frozen. Itunes will eventually get to the point where it will show a little picture of the ipad instead of the circular loading symbol. But at that point itunes is completely frozen and i can't even open any menus. If i then unplug the ipad, itunes will free up like nothing happened. i have tried reinstalling itunes, restarting my computer, resetting the device manager, restarting my ipad, tried all of my USB ports, tried connecting with my Wireless internet disconnected, and probably a few more things i can't think of, oh and when i run the diagnostics, it tells me that there is no ipad detected. And when i am plugged in, my ipad charges for a split second then says it is not charging in the top right corner. Help?

ITunes freezes when I connect my iPad2

I recently bought an iPad2 but have not been able to sync it with iTunes yet, because every time I connect the iPad, iTunes freezes and becomes unresponsive.
I use a Sony Vaio laptop with Windows 7 64-bit Professional, and the latest version of iTunes. When I first connected my iPad, Windows recognized it as a new device and installed it as a "hard drive"...but iTunes doesn't recognize it. In Task Manager, iTunes shows up with a "not responding" msg next to it.
And while connected, the iPad doesn't show any indicator of sync in progress (and doesn't even charge). Once I disconnect the iPad, iTunes starts responding again...but of course, no sync has been done. Even if I just leave it for a long time (tried up to 30 mins), the situation doesn't change.
So far, I've tried the following to troubleshoot:
1. Connected the iPad to different machines - I tried both a Macbook Pro and another Sony Vaio laptop running Windows 7. On both of them, it syncs with iTunes just fine. So that rules out a problem with the iPad itself.
2. Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes completely, including all the folders created under AppData, My Music folder, etc. Also removed and reinstalled all other components such as Bonjour, Quicktime, Apple Software Updater, Apple Mobile Service, etc. But this didn't help.
3. Uninstalled the iPad from the Device Manager, and reconnected it. This time Windows didn't try to create it as a separate hard drive, but iTunes still behaved the same - hangs when the iPad is connected, and doesn't sync/charge.
Does anyone have further ideas on what I can try to get iTunes to sync with my iPad?

I'm having the same exact issue, I have also tried everything. Apple says its a hardware problem with the iPad, but Im out of the country and cant simply go switch it out. Plus I dont think thats it at all....
Any advice? Everything has been restarted, different USBs, Cords, Updated, Uninstalled iTunes, Downloaded new iTunes...etc...
iPad and I are off to a rocky start.

ITunes freezes when I connect my iPad, what is causing this?

My iPad continuously boots me out of my apps when i try and use them, Someone suggested I clean it and refill it. My problem is that when I connect it to my PC to sync it with iTunes, my iTune software freezes. I can click on anything with no result. As soon as I disconnect the iPad the last command I gave it responds.
Here is what I tried already:
I ran a dianogtics test on iTunes while the iPad was disconnected and everything is fine.
I ran it with the iPad connected (I hit the test button seconds after I connected the iPad) and everything is still fine. it even stated that my iPad was connected.
I made sure my iTunes has the latest version.
I also checked the iPad for any updates and it stated it was up to date.
I made sure there was no apps running on the iPad hen I connected it.
I tested my PC for any problems and there was none, including my internet connection.
On the iTunes screen it shows my iPad connected, but, just like every other command, it will not respond when I click on it.
Please someone help.

Is iTunes freezing on the iPad or on your computer?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
