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 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.

  • 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,

  • Help: iTunes freezing when I try to transfer purchases from iPad 2.

    iTunes freezes when I try to transfer purchases from my iPad 2 to my laptop (MS Vista). It starts to transfer purchases but eventually results in iTunes not responding or my device timing out.  I've tried Disk Cleanup/Defrag and uninstall/re-install of iTunes in the correct sequence. Can anyone please help me?

    How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes? 
    Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

  • I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it.  I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes but when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message indicating there isn't enough space.  I thought a 2GB would hold at least 500 songs.

    I have a 2GB IPOD with only 385 songs on it.  I downloaded 2 CD's to iTunes and when I try and sync the IPOD I'm getting an error message that says I don't have enough free space.  I thought a 2GB IPOD held at least 500 songs.  I've even deleted songs from from iTunes library.

    The figures that Apple used to use when saying how many songs coud fit onto any particular iPod were based on a 4 minute song at a Bit Rate of 128Kbps and that's the bit rate that songs sold by iTunes used to be in. However, now the iTunes Store sells songs at 256Kbps (as do many other MP3 stores) - which means that each song now uses twice as much storage space than before.
    So if your songs have a bit rate of higher than 128Kbps, and/or they are all longer than four minutes each, that's why 385 songs is filling up your iPod. You can check how much space is being used when the iPod is connected to iTunes Library. Look on the Device panes for the capacity bar at the bottom of the window. How much space is being used by Music?
    The solution is either:
    Use iTunes to make 128Kbps versions to go onto your iPod - or,
    Sync the iPod using Playlists and then choosing which Playlists you want on it. Smart Playlists may be the answer - you can set Smart Playlists up so that they automatically add and remove songs from your iPod, so that there is a constant change of songs (according to the rules you set)

  • 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/ipod freeze when i try to sync my ipod

    yesterday i downloaded the most recent version of itunes. i successfully synced my ipod the first time. but now when i try to sync my ipod, itunes freezes up and eventually quits sync-ing.
    i've restored my ipod twice, but it hasn't helped -- each time i trying to sync the ipod, it will begin the process, but freeze after 7-30 songs of 2200.
    and now i just tried to scroll through my ipod songs to see how many were actually there, and it froze up.
    please help. thanks.

    I'm having an similar problem after updating to iTunes 7.1.1.5, Windows XP. I'm using a 3rd Gen 40G iPod. I have reinstalled iTunes several times and restored the iPod so that all data in it has been erased. When I try to synch the iPod to iTunes, first of all it copies very slowly, and then, it will fail after about seven or eight songs and I get the error message that the synch failed due to an unknown cause (error -124). I am able to eject the iPod and iTunes appears to work correctly. I've tried this several times and the same error keeps occurring.

  • ITunes Freezing when I try and Close it

    I just downloaded iTunes 7 for my Windows PC and it constantly freezes when I try and shut it down. This problem only happens when I am in the middle of playing a song and I try to shut iTunes down. What happens is the windows Dr. Watson error message comes up and asks me if I want to send the error. Does anybody else have this problem? If so any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks,

    I'm running XP and, after upgrading to iTunes 7, I'm finding it freezes often, too. And crashes, with the option box to send an error report soon following. The kicker is that, after this, I've been getting a "blue screen of death". Upon rebooting, Windows sends an error report concerning the "blue screen", indicating that it's some kind of unidentified driver that's causing the crash -- something that was NOT happening prior to installing iTunes 7. So, yeah, I'D like an answer, TOO.

  • Why does my Itunes keep freezing when I try to sync my Ipod?

    Hello,
    Everytime I try to rearrange my music or take music on or off my Ipod Nano my Itunes freezes up and I am unable to sync my new music to my Ipod. What is going on? I have uninstalled and reinstalled I have reverted my Ipod back to factory settings and yet it still freezes when I try to add or take music off the Ipod. What other suggestions should I do?
    Thanks,

  • 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

  • Why does iTunes freeze when I try to burn cds?

    Hi, when I try to burn cds, iTunes freezes. I have a Sony CD-RW CRX175A and I have been assured by Sony that I'm running the latest firmware.
    I was able to burn cds no problem two weeks ago. Then I removed an external hard drive and then plugged it back in later. To do this, I clicked an icon in the toolbar entitled "Safely Remove Hardware" and I'm wondering if I "removed" my cd burner or something. This is the only thing I can think of.
    Regardless of what I wrote above, can anyone help me? I teach dance and not being able to burn cds in iTunes is making life difficult. THANK YOU!!!

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.

    Please help me if you can. Thankfully I can still burn cds no problem with Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes just can't make it happen. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and I know I have the latest drivers for my cd burner. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes freezes when I try to burn a CD

    When I try to burn a CD, iTunes freezes (with no error message) and I have to use Task Manager to close it. It also freezes when I click on the "Burn" tab in Properties and I have to use Task Manager to close it. I have tried to run CD Diagnostics (without a CD in it as instructed on other threads), but it locks up. Everything else on iTunes works, I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, and I have checked and updated all Windows updates.
    Any help would be really appreciated!!

    I need more information about your hardware configuration. Please run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD diagnostics and post the output here.

  • ITunes freezes when I try to burn imported & purchased songs on the same CD

    When I make a playlist that contains a mixture of old MP3 files, songs I've downloaded from my CD collection, & songs purchased from iTunes, iTunes freezes up as soon as I try to burn a CD. It says "checking playlist", and just before the bar gets all the way across, it just stops and nothing happens.
