**PLEASE NOTE IF YOU DOWNGRADE THE FIRMWARE YOU'LL LOSE YOUR MUSIC**
It's worked for me, the files are virus free and it's got it back to normal. Like the dude says, they should have tested this a bit more before giving it to millions of people.

I am assuming this is incorrect in these directions:
(delete iPod_24.1.0.2.ipsw then download it?)
4, Delete the files ‘iPod_24.1.0.2.ipsw’ and ‘iPod_24.1.0.2.ipsw.signature’.
5, If you don’t already have ‘iPod_24.1.0.2.ipsw’ and ‘iPod_24.1.0.1.ipsw.signature’, download them here: Signature | Firmware

I just purchased a 120gb iPod classic 6th generation from a friend. I have the latest iTunes installed and the software on the iPod is also current. My problem is whenever I'm syncing the iPod and iTunes freezes between the 250- 300th song... I have to manually reset the iPod for the iTunes to run correctly, but then my music isn't added and iTunes tells me I have to restore the iPod... I've done this numerous times only to no avail... Someone please help!!!

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Itunes freezes at the end of podcasts

Not everyone, but if i have 10-20 to watch, itunes will lock up 3-4 times.
it's only at the end of the podcast, sometimes after a few mins it will just carry on, mostly it just locks up and i have to end task it.
i'm using win7 64bit

I had that happen to me today, too! But my file was in the "purchased" list when I checked--even though it didn't complete the download correctly. When I re-started iTunes, it redownloaded. Have you tried restarting iTunes to see if this finds the song?
If it's truly missing, you can contact the store and ask to redownload the file. Use the links inside the iTunes store to contact them. They should have a record of your purchase.
On Edit: I see that you did re-start iTunes. You might need to contact the store to get a credit.

HT201210 I've gone through all these steps, Itunes freezes in the middle of restore

Instead of giving me an error message Itunes is now beginning the restore process only to stop with no error message or failure message, just a small portion of the progress bar filled.

This will not necessarily work if the Device has been Modified.

ok a lot of people have had issues with installing the update via the software update option in mac os x tiger now let me explain something first it is not apples fault they did not expect that tons of people would be downloading this update at once which caused problems
some of the issues people have run into are
1.the cd rom after the update the superdrive or regular super drive will not read cds
2.your photoshop application stops working or any adobe product stops working
now the simple fix is this
go online to apple.com select the download section in the support area of this web page once this is done
go and download the update manually and run the update manually this will correct any issues with the update including cd rom drive errors and even adobe product errors

Since Apple know exactly how many systems are out there, have experienced download demands from previous update releases, they very clearly know the kind of demand there will be when a new update for MacOS is released. The issues with Software Update are nothing to do with this - and indeed, historically there have always appeared to be a small proportion of systems that have not functioned correctly with a MacOS update - a quick perusal of MacFixit going back some years would evidence the fact.
When Software Update downloads the wrong components, it's not volume of traffic that causes it, but that when Software Update examines the specific system, it finds components that cause it to misidentify it.

There are many reasons users may suffer these, and similar (and very DISsimilar) issues, not just from the update itself, but prebinding, permissions, system caches, font files, plists....

You omitted to mention WHICH update file to download - which is the critical part of the advice. Users who experience problems with the update as downloaded by Software Update, should download the 10.4.8 'Combi' update file from the apple/support/downloads page. The combi (combined) update contains the entire thing, not just the bits tailored to what Software Update takes to be the specific system. There are two versions of this file - one for PPC systems and one for Intel - it's important of course to select the correct one for the type of system, being used.
People often say that the Combi update fixes their problem when in fact what may well be happening is that by installing the combi update version, it overwrites faulty files (plists for example) that had caused the problem the user experienced. Installing this version of the update can certainly RESOLVE these kind of problems, but is not the only way to do so.
Simple and easy when it works - undoubtedly so.

ITunes Freezes at the End of a CD Import?

Hi,
Been having trouble importing CD's into iTunes. The first few worked fine, but now at the very end of the last song on every CD that's being imported, the software stops responding. I can force iTunes to quit, and it restarts fine. When the software is restarted, all of the tracks except for the last one on each CD are present in the library. I can't get the last song on the disc's imported. Even when I restart the software and try to import the single track, the same thing happens.
I did the "Run CD Diagonstics" thing under the help menu, and it says that my drives are fine. Any suggestions on how to stop this annoying problem?
Thanks in advance...

Can't access the music on my iPod, iTunes freezes up

Hello out there, I have a problem with my fifth generation 30 GB iPod video. It has worked like a dream until yesterday. I plugged my iPod into my computer (HP laptop running Windows Vista) and it showed up in iTunes as usual. I dragged three albums onto my iPod and it did the usual routine of updating. When it was done I clicked the eject symbol in the iTunes menu and waited for the battery to show on the iPod screen before disconnecting. I turned on the iPod to listen to these new tunes and now my iPod appears to be blank. Under artists, albums, songs, etc there are no longer any options.
Okay, I have the day off from work so I figure I'll just sync it back up and put all 30 gigs back on. I plug the iPod in, iTunes opens automatically, and then freezes. After unplugging the iPod itunes resumes working. I try this several more times, restart the computer, restart the iPod, etc and it keeps doing the same thing.
Frustrated (as this happened once before with a much older iPod several years ago) I headed over to these forums. From looking around I saw the five R's that are always suggested. After reseting, retrying, and restarting, the problem still persists: I can't access the music on my ipod, and itunes freezes.
I then updated to the newest version of itunes. This also did nothing to solve the problem. I want to attempt to restore my ipod, unfortunately this is not possible because I can't access the iPod options through itunes because it freezes as soon as the ipod is attached to the computer.
After reading several threads on these support forums I stumbled on this one: (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1480926&tstart=0) in which a user recommends downloading an alternative iPod manager. I followed the link in that thread and settled on a program called poddox, hoping I could just throw all my music back onto my iPod with it. So I again plugged in my ipod, waited for itunes to freeze, closed it as it was not responding, and opened podox. Podox reported that all of my music is still on the iPod (it says there is less than 200 megs of space available).
Unfortunately poddox won't work for me either. Upon attempting to use it to remove all the data on my ipod my computer crashed and restarted. This is strange because although itunes freezes when the ipod is plugged in, it still appears as a removable disk in windows.
I returned to the apple website and downloaded and older, seperate ipod updater software from 2006. I installed the software and it restarted my computer. When I ran the ipod updater I received a message informing me that this software was no longer supported and that if i wanted to update my ipod's software or restore it I should just do it through itunes v.7 or later. The program then quits, and I have no choice.
I'm about ready to pull my hair out here. What can I do? It seems like a real catch 22 in that I need to restore my ipod for itunes to recognize it but i can't restore it because itunes doesn't recognize it. From what I gather there is no way to restore it without using itunes, is this accurate? What can I do to either delete all the data on my pod and reload it, or make it appear again in my ipod's menu/interface? Any help you guys can give is greatly appreciated, I will be monitoring the responses to this thread in case anyone should need more information from me. Thanks again.

right, figured it out. had to put it in disk mode, then reconnect, then it was recognized, then i restored and put everything back onto it. hope this helps anyone else who has a similar problem

Whenever I connect my iPhone 4s to my Windows 8.1 pc with iTunes 10.6.3.25, the iTunes freezes.

Whenever I connect my iPhone 4s to my Windows 8.1 pc with iTunes 10.6.3.25, the iTunes freezes and the only way to proceed is to kill the task under task manager. I have uninstalled iTunes following the recommended order and reinstalled numerous times but still freezes when I connect my iPhone. It works fine when I connect my phone to another pc (Windows 7). What else can I try?

Whenever I update iTunes it gives me the following error:
The application was unable to start correctly (0cx0000142). Click Ok to close the application.
The file in error is DifXInst64.exe.
Thanks for any more help available.
