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 try to disconnect my ipod

    I am not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but everytime I try to disconnect my ipod nano using the eject button, itunes freezes. I have itunes 7 installed currently and have had so many problems (like so many other people). I wish I never had upgraded to this version since I never experienced any problems with the past version. I've been able to fix some of the problems (thanks to past posters) but this one is driving me crazy. Any suggestions?

    OK. I restored an old registry backup that was taken from before the iTunes upgrade... and everything is OK. I had to install iTunes 6, but now my iPod works. Unfortunately I now have to reinstall a bunch of other stuff, too. It'll take awhile, but at least the problem is fixed. It seems the new iTunes corrupts the Windows registry somehow. There's no way I'm gonna "upgrade" until every single last bug is worked out of the new version - and even then I'll take a registry backup right before I do. Hope this helps!
    BTW I used Systweak's Advanced System Optimizer for the backup. System Restore may work as well... And for iTunes 6, just Google "iTunes 6 download" and you're set.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7.  now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps.  any solutions?

    10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad.  itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer.  Any suggestions?

    I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
    - Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
    - un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
    - For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
    - run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this)  in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
    - reboot PC
    - Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
    - run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
    - reboot PC
    - run cccleaner
    - reboot PC
    - install itune 10.5
    Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

  • TS1363 iTunes freezes when I connect this iPod (4th gen nano)

    I have an older (4th gen) ipod that a family member gave me.  I'd like to restore it and load it with music, but when I connect it and open iTunes, not only does iTunes not recognize it, but it completely freezes iTunes.  I'm using Windows 8, latest version of iTunes installed.  I've tried resetting the iPod, but that does not help. 
    When I check the device in control panel, it states "This device is working properly". 
    Any help is appreciated!

    Found my solution in a similar thread - I hope I can find it and thank the poster!
    It's a nuclear option, but it works!
    Connect the offending iPod to a computer that does NOT have iTunes
    You will be able to open the iPod as a Disk Drive in My Computer
    (the following steps worked on my laptop running XP; you will need to adapt to your operating system)
    Right-click on the Disk Drive when it appears
    Click on Format
    A window will pop up with some details and check boxes
    Check "Quick Format"
    You'll get a warning that everything on the drive will be erased.  Click OK. (you are trying to reset the iPod to its original factory settings so that ITunes will read it as a new iPod)
    Formatting only took a minute or so on my computer
    Eject the iPod (Click the icon in your taskbar at the bottom of the screen)
    Now, take the iPod back to the computer with your iTunes on it and connect it.  (Close iTunes and reopen it if you haven't already) You should see a Welcome to your new iPod screen and be able to start over again syncing music, etc. 
    It worked for me! 

  • 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.

  • Keep getting error message when trying to eject iPOD nano

    When trying to eject iPOD, getting error message ..."cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". No other application is open but iTUNES. What does this mean? and are there any tricks to get it to eject?

    Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
    Usually rebooting will force it to let go
