ITunes freezes when plugging in phone with podcasts

I have an issue where anytime I plug in my iPhone 3GS, iTunes will freeze if I have any Podcasts that I had downloaded separately to my phone. If I delete the podcasts the phone, I'm fine -- but I'd rather not have to delete my podcasts every time I want to sync.
I have "manually mange music" checked for my phone. Is this part of the problem?

My workflow is to never download anything from the iTunes store, app or otherwise, directly into my iPhone.

  • ITunes freezing when I sync 60GB Ipod, podcasts not completely downloading

    I've got a pentium 4 3.0 with 1GB of RAM running winXP pro. I just re-installed winxp after formatting the HD so everything should be clean. All it has on it is WinXP, Office 2007, Photoshop, and Itunes. When I connect my ipod, a 60GB video, itunes will freeze the entire computer up for a few minutes while it syncs. Also, many podcasts, most notobly "This american life" will only download about halfway (an hour long podcast will be 15 minutes or so long). This happens pretty consistently. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

    I DOWNLOADED MUSIC FROM A CARD AND IT PLAYED FOR TWO TO THREE WEEKS AND IT QUIT PLAYING THE TUNES ARE STILL ON THERE BUT THEY WON'T PLAY AND MY IPOD FREEZES UP?

  • Itunes freezes when plug ipod in

    hey my ipod has been playing up a bit
    it comes up with the unhappy face sign and the folder sign...therefore i have restored it but nothing seems to happen!
    now when i plug in my ipod, itunes just freezes and stops working so i have to control alt delete and end the task!
    it also came up with the message
    iTunes.exe - Device Time out
    The sppecified 1/0 operation on \Device\Hardisk1\DR5 was not completed before the timeout period expired.
    can anyone help?
    many thanks in advance for your help!

    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....

  • ITunes freezes when i try to open Podcasts library

    Every time i click on Podcasts library, the app freezes!

    try these user tips:
    try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
    and, if you have flip4mac installed
    I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
    From the log:
    PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
    PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
    This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.

  • 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 syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

    It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
    I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
    I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
    I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
    Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

    the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
    im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

  • My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later."

    My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!

    If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

    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),
    it started when i've connected my ipod to itunes and I just plugged it out when it was syncronizing.
    after that my whole content (music, pic's, video's) are deleted. The default stuff is the only thing what's left on it.
    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 trying to restore ipod

    Hi guys
    At the moment whenever i plug my ipod in itunes says it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
    Once i restore it and the ipod resets though, itunes freezes completely and wont shut down from task manager.
    To open it again I need to restart the entire computer but when I try again it goes back to the start and is just going around in loops.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    Did the problem start after installing Windows 7 SP1, there have been numerous reports of iTunes freezing connected in some way with USB.
    I don't have a solution at the moment although it might be possible to find more with Google.
    Some people have resorted to uninstalling SP1.
    Here is an example of what can be found:

  • Itunes freezes when I connect my iphone 4s

    My itunes freezes when I connect my iphone 4s. I've tried re-installing & previous versions. When I use another laptop it works so the problem lies with my laptop which is Windows XP 32 bit with latest updates. Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Windows 7, XP, Vista: Click the bottom left and click the start button and navigate to
    ControlPanel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts and click Turn User Account Control On or Off and Turn it OFF.

  • 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.
