Itunes freezes when my Ipod is connected

Whenever I plug in my ipod, my Itunes freezes. When it does resume running, it wont show my ipod. I know that it is connected becasue it appears under computer, but it wont appear in Itunes. Anyone know what to do? I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

I GOT THE SOLUTION
At least for my IMac! As usual, the most stupid thing was underestimated. I started to have the "freezing" trouble when I connected my Ipod Nanop, last month, than my Ipod Video and Mini Ipod too.The strange thing was that befor the Nano, the mini worked well. But, when I bought the Nano (one month before the Video) i simoultaneously bought an hub system (2.0, self-alimented), and I put the cable for the ipod connection into the hub, while with the former mini Ipod was connected directly to my IMac. Today I disconnected the hub, I put the Ipod cable again into the IMac, directly to the Ipod, and everything magically worked perfectly. I copied all my 4.000 songs library in a while, without freezing anything but my fingers (this winter is very cold in Italy!!!!).
Hope to have helped you. tell me....

I can't use my itunes only when my ipod is connected?

For some reason unknown to me when ever i try and use itunes and plug my ipod into my pc it will freeze. i can't do anything at all with it. my itunes works no problems when i pod is not connected and my ipod works fine when itunes isn't open. it still charges and works. I'm running windows xp, latest itunes as of today and i have no idea what version of itunes my ipod is on because i can't update it. i have the 5th gen video ipod 30g.. can anybody help to get it working again?

I have the exact same problem. I have a 80GB Ipod Classic and i'm using Vista. My Itunes works perfectly until I plug the Ipod in. Same thing with the My computer Page. I've tried to restore settings on my ipod, now it is empty but still shows 12GB taken, I don't understand why.

Itunes freezes when syncing ipod classic 160GB

I just downloaded the new itunes 1.6.1 and everytime i try to sync my ipod classic it gets about a tenth of the way through syncing the songs then completely freezes, i have to exit using task manager and it leaves me with no songs on my ipod. I've tried resetting my ipod and such but none of it has worked, i've spent the last 3 hours looking for a solution but there is nothing out there, please help!!!

Try connecting the iPod Classic to a different USB port set (like the ones on the back of your PC), and make sure you're connecting it directly to the PC, not through a USB hub (like the ones built into keyboards or monitors). If iTunes still freezes, run Windows Update and make sure you update all of the hardware drivers for your PC, especially ones marked "Chipset" or "USB Controller". Frequently, when iTunes freezes mid-sync with a USB device, it's because of an error with your USB controller or that set of ports. The steps above should get you syncing properly again.
If that doesn't work, try connecting your iPod Classic to another PC and sync some songs to it. If iTunes freezes there as well, it may be a problem with your iPod Classic (unlikely, but possible), and would warrant a Genius Bar appointment.
Hope this helps.

Itunes freezes when Syncing ipod

Recently, I have updated to the newest version of Itunes. When I attempted to sync my ipod (80GB classic), itunes froze. I had to force a shut down and when my ipod ejected, all the songs were gone. I managed to get my ipod to restore factory settings, but now it will not sync more than 600 songs. Once it hits about this threshold, itues freezes and the 'syncing' icon on my ipod switches the the 'connected' icon, but itunes continues to try and sync until it freezes.
I have attempted to add music manually and in different orders to see if it is a particular song causing the crash, but regardless of the order, once it hits about 600 songs, down goes everything. I have to force a shut down, which effectively erases all the songs, and start over again.
Any thoughts on how to break the 600 barrier?

ITunes freezes when syncing ipod 10.5.1.42

Everytime I go to sync my ipod to itunes it gets almost finished and itunes freezes up. When itunes freezes so does my entire computer to the point where only the mouse moves, and I end up shutting it down. I'm not sure if it is my computer, ipod, itunes, or other underlying issues. Does anyone have a solution or troubleshooting tips. I have searched the internet all over and this site, but nothing seems to be working. Is it the version? Should I install a previous version of itunes? It seems like some people are having similar issues.

ITunes freezes when Ejecting iPod

Every time I try to eject the iPod using one of the two Eject buttons in the iPod menu, iTunes seems to freeze, and I have to Manually Eject the iPod(At least I think its Manually Ejecting the iPod, to go into my coputer and use "Eject" on the shortcut menu)
What could be causing this, and how do I fix it?

I have the same thing. It started this week. I have the most recent version of iTunes. My ipod Touch and iPad Air 2 work fine. When I eject my (brand new) Nano, the nano ejects, but iTunes freezes. I have to go and force it to close.
Help please.
Cheers,

ITunes freezes when verifying iPod

My macbook freezes when verifying my ipod on itunes 10.5.

It may help to just wait 10 minutes or so after iTunes has "frozen". This same thing happened to me, it was verifying and crashed. I tried reinstalling, restarting the ipod, etc, etc. It happened about 10 times with me quitting the program through task manager each time it froze. Finally I just decided to let it sit for a while after freezing instead of exiting, and lo and behold, the sync started after about 5 minutes. Try this for now and hopefully Apple will fix this bug eventually.

ITunes freezes when my iPod is pluged in.

When I plug in my ipod into my computer itunes only freezes, my computer is still functional. when I am listening to music on itunes and I plug in my ipod the music keeps playing, and when I unplug my iPod iTunes unfreezes instantly. What is wrong?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

ITunes freezes when updating iPod

I am using a 60 GB iPod video. I recently lost my library in iTunes but I simply added the folder that contained all of my albums back to iTunes and made a few adjustments and it's back to normal. Still, I know the iPod recognizes it as a different library so I wanted to update it.
I go to do this and it gives me the usual "___'s iPod is synced with another library, would you like to delete the current library and replace it with this iTunes library?" or something long those lines so I click "Erase and sync" and it seems like it's updating but iTunes just freezes. It's done this three times including once after a restart.
I'm really becoming frustrated with iTunes as of late so I hope someone has a quick fix for this problem.

It worked on 4th attempt.

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.

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.
