ITunes freezes when ipad2 is connected

I updated my MacBook pro to the latest version of iTunes and now every time I connect my ipad2 to synchronize, iTunes just freezes. Can someone please help!

I left it connected for a while and it finally came up with a message saying that it couldn't identify my iPod and that I should disconnect and then reconnect it. I did that, but it's doing the same thing as before.

  • ITunes freezes when opeining if connected to the internet

    I have a problem that started this weekend. If I am connected to the internet, my iTunes freezes when I open it. It just gets stuck with the spinning beach ball. Any idea what might be causing this? I'd guess its something to do with syncing to icloud, but i tried disabling the auto download music & apps in preferences, and that didn't help

    I am totally stuck on the same issue and have been for almost a year. Auto downloads and genius are disabled. I'm using a iMac and have upgraded to Lion OS 10.7.3. Being on an iMac means I can't uninstall iTunes but I am now on iTunes 10.6.1 (7). Think that's the latest.
    If I disconnect from the internet I can use iTunes no problems but that kind of defeats the purpose of the store and I liked being able to control iTunes from my iPhone!
    I've restarted literally tens of times.
    Anyone that can help? should i raise another thread?
    Thanks!

  • Itunes freezes when ipod is connected to computer

    Whenever I try to connect my ipod to my laptop my itunes will freeze up. I try opening my ipod using "my computer" but then that will freeze up as well. I'm trying to restore my ipod to see if that will help, but since my itunes freezes, it can't detect my ipod, therefore I can't restore it.
    My ipod is set to where I have to manually put songs on it instead of it syncing automatically (unsure if this has anything to do with the problem?)
    My itunes and ipod work perfectly by themselves, and I haven't had a problem with connecting my ipod to the computer until now. I can't figure out how to fix the problem. Help!
    (I've also plugged my ipod into every usb port on the computer and it doesn't make a difference).

    so does mine

  • Itunes freezing when ipod is connected

    So I've been banging my head against the wall the last few days trying to figure out why my ipod is causing itunes to freeze, and ultimately not sync any new songs. In short after downloading itunes 9, anytime I attempt to connect my 120gb ipod classic itunes freezes up. I have done several, several things. I've already exhausted all the support suggestions, as well as countless google searches trying to resolve my issue.
    Things I've tried:
    -Stopped, and restarted the ipod service
    -Reinstalled itunes
    -Cleared the ipod photo cache folder
    -Tried all usb ports on computer
    -Tried brand new usb cable
    -Formatted my ipod, in which case itunes didn't freeze up, but told me it was corrupt, and I needed to restore it. Right after restoring, however, the exact same thing occurs (except now I have 0 songs).
    -Tried simply leaving it sitting there (waited something like 3 hours).
    -Ran a disk scan, passed everything until I reached "HP DETECT TEST 0".
    My OS is 32-bit 7, and I had roughly 6k songs on my ipod prior (simply throwing that in there as I've seen similar posts saying they can only reach around 500 songs). What's odd is my iphone 3G works perfectly fine with itunes 9.

    I am in the same boat and posted in reply to another thread like this. I have two 80gb classics. One works just fine on my pc, the other locks iTunes and my computer up so I can't even see it as a disk. And I only have about 6-8gb of songs on it. I have tried reinstalling iTunes several times now, and had to do restore a couple times on my laptop running Win7 with iTunes 9, which will read it just perfectly. I restore the pod, plug it into the pc which will then read it perfectly, restore and sync on the pc which works fine, eject it and all seems to work fine. If I wish to plug it back in though, it starts all over. It can be read fine on other computers and I didn't have a problem till 9 was installed with my Vista system. someone please get this figured out! I plan to call support later today.

  • Iphoto freezes when iPad2 is connected

    I currently have a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion installed.
    When ever I connect my Ipad, iPhoto freezes. It takes quite a while for the rainbow spin to disappear and the photos to show up.
    When a memory stick or card is used to import pictures Iphoto can be very slow at times.
    Is there a fix for this?
    (Also, is iPhoto supposed to be a heavy app? It makes my macbook pro quite hot and the fans run quite fast so that I can hear them)
    Thank you for your help.

    I had suspected the Library as the cause or a bunged up cache file, but that rules both of those out.
    Back up and reinstall.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Itunes freezes when ipod is connected.

    Just as the topic says. I tunes works fine when untill i plug the i pod in then it freezed you cant play a song you cant upload anynew songs into my ipod or even close itunes or anything. but when you unplug the ipod then it works. it pops up saying you disconnected befor i pod was synced and then it tryes to do all the stuff you clicked. i have already uninstalled and reinstalled i tunes and gotten the same thing.

    Hello! I would appreciate any help that is available. I have a 60gb photo iPod. I have used 3 different computers (all pcs running Windows XP) to update my iPod. When I select shuffle songs it will auto skip certain tracks; it will play a full song but when it goes to the next track it "skips several" it also does this if I go to play an album. I can skip a song manually if I do not want to listen to it just fine. I do not see how the tracks could be corrupted if it is playing songs from the same cd all the way through.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Itunes freezes when ipod is connected to windows 7

    I have had to return a new ipod after spending numerous hours going through the suggested fixes on this site to cure the problem with itunes.
    Itunes works fine until the ipod is connected to the computer and then it freezes itunes after a couple of seconds.
    I have completely removed and re-installed itunes several times, tried disabling drivers etc along with all the other methods suggested on this site and to no avail. Even the store helpline could not get the ipod to work with the computer after an hour on the telephone and remotely accessing the computer!!!!
    This seems to be a recent problem, as an older ipod worked fine until the last two versions of itunes updates were released. Since then, no joy! Even uninstalling itunes and installing an earlier version does not cure the problem. Can someone at Apple get a grip and sort out this issue, as the current itunes seems to be littered with problems? Try a search on Google and you will see what I mean. This is a major issue with thousands of people.
    Apple have lost the sale of one new ipod in this instance as I could not get it to work

  • My itunes freezes when ever i connect my iphone 5.

    Every time i try to connect my iphone 5 to itunes the program freezes. has anyone else had this problem and are there any solutions?

    I'll assume you are using a Windows computer. Uninstall iTunes and reinstall using the directions in one of these support documents, depending on your version of Windows.

  • ITunes freezes when attempting to connect to a new ATV

    Hello,
    So I have an apple tv that my MBP is sync'd to in my room. I can also stream to my apple tv no problem. Over thanksgiving I was at my brothers, and I attempted to connect to my itunes on his ATV, over his wireless network. I typed in the passcode, got the "Loading Ben's Library" message on the tv, and then iTunes would just freeze up and have to be forced quit. I tried again and again, nothing doing.
    Then I was at my neighbors in the next apartment over - we share a wireless network, and I tried to setup my MBP to stream to his ATV. The same thing happened. It looked like it would work, only to freeze up again and again.
    I'm running Leopard. The routers have always been airport extremes. All software updates have been done all around.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ben

    I had a similar experience and found patience to be the answer. For some reason it took 5-10 minutes for my Apple TV to get past the "Loading Mike's Media" message. In the meantime my iTunes was unresponsive. My library is not exceptionally large (about 160gb with 57 movies and 67 TV shows).
    After that initial long wait, I tried switching back and forth between Apple TV as the source and my iTunes as the source. Each subsequent reconnect to iTunes only took about 40 seconds.
    I have no idea why it takes so long. I did a little probing, and iTunes was neither using much CPU nor doing much I/O during the long wait. Quite odd.

  • 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.

  • 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.
