ITunes Freezes when I plug in my Ipad

I'm on a Windows 7 PC, and have installed the latest Version of Itunes 10.2.2.12.
I have had the Ipad 2 for exactly 5 days, and have successfully synced the thing a total of 3 times... Only right after I intially install (Or reinstall) Itunes.   Everytime I try to connect the Ipad now, one of 3 things happens.
1. Itunes freezes completley, and never starts responding again.
2. Itunes freezes momentarily, but never shows that the Ipad is connected.
3. Itunes Doesn't do anything... just dosn't realize there is an Ipad connected.
I've reinstalled a total of 3 times, and only then am I able to sync... and only once.
Now the PC actually recognizes that I have an Ipad linked, as it shows the icon, and says that my ipod is connected in the system tray

I have experienced the same issue.
I see the following behavior:
hangs sometimes when plugging in ipad.  ipad does not seem to recognize synching.  unplugging ipad in this situation unfreezes itunes.
re-plugging in ipad sometimes works while itunes is up.  Most always works if itunes is shutdown before plugging in ipad.
I have re-installed itunes from scratch several times.  I believe that this has improved the situation temporarily but I generally see it return eventually.

  • 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!!

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my iPod in. Please HELP

    I have a 4G 8GB iPod touch, and it hasn't been synced into iTunes for about 2 months now because iTunes always freezes when I plug my iPOd into it.(I have iTunes 10.1 or which ever one is the latest version and it just freezes). Can anyone help or has the same problem?

    I have the same problem
    I managed to get it to work this way on Windows 7 SP1 X64
    Itunes 10.2
    Ipod 2g
    Open Itunes
    Open Task manager
    Click on process tab
    Connect Ipod 2g
    Swap back to applications tab and check for not responding for Itunes
    If Itunes goes not responding
    Disconnect and reconnect Ipod, while viewing process tab
    It may take a few times

  • ITunes freezing when iPod plugged in...

    Recently I noticed that a vast majority of my music had dissapeared from my iPod, as if I had deleted it. I have no idea why such a thing woud happen, but I figured that it wasn't a problem since I could just plug it into my computer and sync it. However, after syncing several times, the music did not return to my iPod, and now iTunes freezes whenever I plug it in. Without it connected, iTunes appears to function perfectly fine, however when I connect my iPod it freezes immediately. A long time after unplugging it again, iTunes gives me a message about it not being recognized (or something to that effect). I have already tried deleting the contents of the Sync Services folder, which seemed to help many others with this problem. What can I do to fix this?

    Your nano uses a totally different way to sync with iTunes than the touch. You need to follow the troubleshooting tips in this article about removing and reinstalling iTunes.

  • TS1717 iTunes freezing when I plug my phone in. I need help! It's getting increasingly frustrating!

    My iTunes is slow and often freezes. When I plug my iphone 5 into my computer it automatically freezes. I can't do anything and have to use the task manager to exit. I am using the most recent software 11.1.5. I have tried uninstalling and repairing, I have also searched on the internet for things to do to help but none have worked so far. I am also using windows 7. I did not have this problem before installing the new software.

    Hello Shan0508,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when connecting your iPhone to your computer.  I found an article with steps you can take if iTunes stops working when you connect your iPhone:

  • ITunes freezes when I plug in my 4S

    Brand new iPhone 4S.  When I transferred my info to it the other day, everything was fine.  Now when I plug it in, iTunes immediately freezes.  Will not sync, will not cancel sync.  When opening the task menu, it says iTunes is "Not Responding." iPhone 4 will still plug in and sync fine without this issue.

    Suggest uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Use this support document information to do that.

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my ipod in

    This problem started when iTunes said it couldn't sync some of the songs to my ipod.  I think it said my ipod was corrupt or something like that so I tried to restore it.  It froze after the restore, so I unplugged the iPod.  It works when it's not plugged in, there's just nothing on it.  When I plug it into the computer iTunes freezes.  I tried doing reformatting it through Windows in disk mode, then it showed up in iTunes as corrupt.  I restored it and the same thing happened.  I don't know what to do; does anyone know anything about this?

    If the above steps don't work, I went through a lot of trial and error to fix mine but found that this method worked great. 
    1.  Press and hold select and menu to reset.
    2.  When the apple comes up, press select and play to put the iPod in disk mode.
    3.  Plug iPod in and make sure iTunes recognizes it.  It will still give you an error but ignore it. 
    4.  Find out what the iPod drive name is.  Mine is G: so be careful what you put in because this will completely format any drive you type in.
    Open up CMD from the run or start menu.  Type in:
    Format G: /FS:FAT32.
      (Remember to replace G: with whatever drive your iPod is.)
    Then hit enter. It may take a while.  This will start the iPod format.
    5.  When that is finished, you will get an error that says something like the drive is too big for FAT.  Ignore this. 
    6.  Eject the iPod using iTunes and then press the select and menu button to reset the iPod back into normal mode. 
    7.  Plug the iPod back in.  You will get a message on Windows saying that you need to format it again.  Ignore this. 
    8.  Restore the iPod using iTunes.
    This method will completely wipe the iPod and formats the entire thing to its original file format.  I have read that doing this can reduce the life of the iPod, but better than having a iPod paper weight.  This method made mine run like new again.  I found that using the Windows Format Utility doesn't work to well.  The CMD format seemed to do the trick.    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes freezes when I plug in my Ipod Touch - what should I do?

    I know that this has been asked numerous times, but I haven't found a solution yet. The basics:
    It was working fine yesterday, but when i plug in my ipod, itunes won't recognize it and it will freeze until I remove the ipod.
    My 3rd gen ipod touch, when I try to access my music and videos (my photos are still there), just goes to a white screen.
    After going to settings and about in my ipod, next to music and videos, it just says loading and won't do anything else.
    I've reinstalled itunes and it has the latest update.
    I've restarted my ipod many times.
    I don't know what else to do. Everything else runs fine, the apps and internet connectivity is all great. Can someone please help me? This has been an absolutely terrible month and my ipod crashing is the icing on the cake from ****.

  • Itunes freezes when itouch plugged in

    Please, every time i plug in my itouch, itunes freezes and becomes unresponsive, if you do not have an answer could you please at least tell me how to email support?

    So I fixed my problem! Here's what I did:
    -Since my Touch didn't work to connect to iTunes, I deleted my applications that I just installed prior to the freezing problem manually (touch and hold an app shortcut until they all jiggle around and have the "x" on the top left corner of the shortcut, then tap the "x" to delete it)
    (don't worry the applications should be stored on your computer)
    -My iPod still froze when I tried to go to playlists and tap on the screen while playing a song
    -I plugged my Touch into my computer and then let it and iTunes do their thing, they appeared to freeze again but I just left them alone and eventually it worked and started actually syncing my iPod and fully function properly again
    -After I disconnected my Touch I was able to access the in song menu (repeat, genius, shuffle, progress bar) and get into my playlists without my iPod freezing
    Problem solved
    You just have to be patient when plugging the iPod into your comp. it will take some time and be unresponsive for a while, but give it time and it will sort itself out and you will be on your merry way again! I would suggest doing it during the night so you can just leave it run because it may take a while.

  • ITunes freezing when iPhone plugged into USB

    I've had my iPhone since September 08 and never had any problems syncing. Today when I plugged in my (90% charged) iPhone into my computer after adding some music to iTunes the program froze. At first it started to sync but asked if I wanted to update something. Not sure exactly what it was, some type of setting. I said yes and it downloaded whatever that was and did not sync after that. I unplugged the iPhone and replugged it to start the sync. The phone is charging so the USB port is working. I tried restarting the computer and the iPhone, repairing iTunes, different USB ports, and nothing is working. iTunes will function normally until the iPhone is plugged in. Then it freezes.
    I at least have a working phone, but I'd really really like to sync.

    SWEET RELIEF! i've been having this same problem and its nearly been the death of me (and/or my macbook and/or iphone). the second i connect my iphone to USB, itunes immediately just goes unresponsive/hangs. i've been staring at that freaking swirling rainbow for days. i've gone over every single how-to/troubleshooting/etc. topic in apple support, and gotten exactly nowhere.
    but then i found your post, deleted my podcasts, and it was like magic - iphone/itunes sync up and running like clockwork.
    my sanity thanks you... TO EVERYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME PROB - THIS WORKS!!! JUST DELETE WHATEVER PODCASTS/APPS YOU DOWNLOADED FROM YOUR IPHONE, AND PROBLEM SOLVED.
    LadyNigelia you're my hero.

  • Why is my itunes freezing when i plug in my ipod

    I have one of the newer ipod touches and when I tried to put the newest update on it, everything went wrong. The newest update is on it, however, everytime I plug it into my computer itunes freezes. Ive tried everything that apple has told me to do.

    Try the following (these are separate suggestions):
    Restart the computer.
    Reset the iPod using the two button combo.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If those actions do not help, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    then connecting to computer. If iTunes can now access the iPod without freezing, you should use Restore to erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software. Then you can set it up and re-sync your songs.

  • ITunes Freezes when iPod Plugged in

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to help someone out who has owned an iPod mini 4gb for 5 months now, but still hasn't got it working!
    1) Initial problem was that iPod, when switched on displayed the folder and exclaimation icon
    2) This was resolved by doing a firmware update and a restore (10/01/2006 release) which we had to do on another PC
    3) Following this, the iPod worked OK on a different machine. Original machine recognises iPod, but doesnt load iTunes automatically. Also if we load iTunes before plugging in the iPod iTunes freezes - Unplugging the iPod releases the freeze.
    4) We then deinstalled and reinstalled iTunes (v6.0.1.3) which didn't help.
    5) The same problem is apparent when I plug my 30gb 5G iPod into the original machine. (Which works AOK else where!)
    6) We've also tried removing all USB drivers and letting XP redetect them - Didnt help!
    - Other USB devices seem to work AOK
    - Windows XP SP2 running on a Dell Dimension 3100
    - Have removed all unrequired software from startup
    - No firewire port
    Any ideas anyone? Please?
    Cheers!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply, do you mean uninstall the updater software first, or iTunes?
    Also, do you know what causes this problem? As you suggest using an earlier firmware, I'm guessing some aspect of a later version is to blame?
    Any idea what version I should try?
    Thanks again!

  • ITunes Freezes When iPod Plugged In. Please Help!

    Two years ago I got a 2nd Gen. iPod nano. It worked for a while, but then it started freezing iTunes when I tried to sync it. So I got a 3rd gen. nano. It worked on one computer, then I wanted to put iTunes and start syncing it on another computer. So i transferred all of my songs to the other computer.Which was the same computer I synced my old iPod. I synced my new iPod once and all of my songs went to it. The next day I tried to sync it and as soon as the computer reconized my iPod, iTunes froze. As soon as I unplugged it it unfroze. That was what happened when I plugged my 2nd gen nano in. So now i cannot sync my new iPod because iTunes keeps freezing. Do you know what I could do to fix this problem??
