Itunes freezes when iphone connected

when i launch itunes without connecting my iphone it works fine. when i connect any iphone, itunes freezes. can anyone help?

I have an Imac and a G3 IPhone and I have the same problem. When I plug in the IPhone, the IPhoto comes up and works and the ITunes will open but then all I get in ITunes is the spinning ball of death. I think it started happening right after I updated the IPhone to the latest version.
Can anyone help

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.

Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod classic 120GB, please help

hello,
I got a problem with my itunes/ipod, I believe it's my ipod.
My Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows 7 Professional, latest version of itunes),

And now every time I connnect my ipod classic my itunes freezes. I've installed itunes on my new computer but it keeps doing nothing..
I've tried the support pages from apple but I just can't fix this problem, please help.

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 iphone

I use itunes 7.5 and whenever I connect my iphone to itunes it freezes and locks up and I have to control alt. delete to get out. I've tried waiting 5-10mins for it to load. My iPod loads just fine; I just have a problem with my iphone connecting. I've uninstalled it many times trying to fix it; it doesn't work. When I do connect it the camera comes up for it fine. The closest i've gotten to connected is when itunes said "iphone is unable to connect because of software and to reinstall it. (I did it and still not working) It's annoying that I can't put any music on my phone. Does anyone have this problem and know how to fix it?

not using that software... i figured it was zonealarm so i took it off had to do all this registry stuff but its finally off and it still doesn't connect. Also, when I goto preferences - syncing it freezes on me other then that. When the iphone isn't connected... itunes works perfect.

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

I just installed the latest Itune software update and my nano update, after the upgrade Itune when I connected the nano, it said it was corrupted and asked me if I wanted to restore it. I said yes, now everytime I try to connect my nano via a USB cable, Itunes freezes. How do I fix this issue? I am wondering if I need to have the lastest version of the nano for version 7.01 of Itunes to work, yet everytime I try to connect my nano, Itunes freezes?! Can anyone help me?

Macbook Pro freezes when iphone connected

I am running OSX 10.8.5 on my mid-2012 Macbook Pro 15-inch. I have iphone 5 running 7.0.4. When I plug my iphone into my mac, my macbook freezes causing me to manually hard shutdown. I recently updated to 7.0.4. I noticed thats when my problems started. I have the 1TB hard drive. I have the 8GB RAM. When I plug my iphone in, iphoto comes up usually causing the entire system to freeze. No other problem works.

I should add that I can quit iTunes with the iPod connected. When I try to eject the iPod by manually dragging the icon to the trash the funkiness begins (icon doesn't disappear just turns light grey, and the computer freezes). I have found the computer behaves if I put it to sleep with the iPod connected (the iPod will eject properly) and when I wake the computer up, everything works w/o funkiness, however the greyed out iPod icon will still be on the desktop. This is the only way I've found to be able to manage this iPod when connected to this MBP.

Memoria 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Hi, my problem is that suddenly since last week my Itunes freezes every time I try to connect my IPAD or my IPHONE it was working great but now I have this problem. I lready completely remove Itunes and I already re-installed ver 11.2 and 11.2.1 but the problem is the same. I already tried to connect my devices to other compurer (I have an IMac) and both devices were recognized without problems. I also restored my IPHONE to default settings but after that the problem is the sameone. I would like to say that my devices are being recongnized wihout problems by my Macbook Pro, it also oppens automatically Iphoto and I can get the pictures from my two devices so I know that it is not a problem with my Macbook or the USB ports.
Pleeeeease, I will run a Marathon next July and I need to sync my music and my playlists.

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
Windows 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?!

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?
