ITunes hangs "not responding" when nano 5g connected to PC

Hi,
Just bought my wife a Nano 5g for her birthday to replace her old broken 2nd gen version.
Plugged it in, iTunes fired up as usual, except it complained that v9 is needed.
V9 downloaded and installed, but hangs when ipod connected, task manager shows as "not responding"
I've tried: uninstalling and reinstalling itunes; Changing usb cables and usb port; Also tried on another PC.
Same thing happens.
Is this a dud ipod? What are my options?
Been an ipod user for years and have always hated itunes as a piece of software and this could well be the final straw.
Help needed please.
Thanks,
Dave

I have used the nano on XP Home and Vista with no problems. So I would keep looking for a solution on your home system. If you are running service pack 3 and all the latest updates for iTunes and the firmware for you nano, you should be good.
You might start thinking about things that are on your home system that are not on the system at work. Maybe anti virus software, etc. that kind of thing. I don't know anything specific regarding anti virus software, just using that as an example that might play into it.
My system running XP home has avast anti virus, steam and a bunch of games installed. I also have some Logitech drivers installed for their keyboards, mice, etc. but that is really it.

Itunes will not start when ipod is connected

3G nano ipod when connected to windows xp,, Windows Expoler opens and shows ipod as "M" drive. But itunes starts only when I click icon on my desktop and dose not start when ipod is connected. When itunes runs it sees my ipod and all works fine. I have the box under Devices checked to start itunes when ipod connected. Thanks for your help

Hello Loggroller,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you talking about the *Open iTunes when this iPod is connected* option from under your iPod's Summary tab? If not, make sure you have this option ticked as well.
It might not hurt to try and remove and re-install iTunes and all Apple related software using these instructions.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
First see this to get your nano disconnected...
How to Safely Disconnect
Now, is iTunes opening at all, with or without the iPod nano connected? See if either of these links helps at all.

TS1368 iTunes is not responding when placing a request in the search bar

i have been trying to add some items to my new ipad, all of the sudden i cannot get a reply back from apple when trying to download some free apps. that was 4 hours ago, all of the sudden i cannot connect using my mac? whats the deal with apple and why hasnt this been fixed yet? all of the sudden iTunes on the Mac is acting all funny?

This seems to have worked for me.
The left hand side of the Search box has a magnifying glass with an upside-down triangle next to it. Hover over the magnifying glass icon, right click (ie Cmd-click) and then uncheck "Search Entire Library" option.
Let me know if that helps. It stopped the "Not Responding" and long hang I was experiencing.

ITunes will not launch when iPod is connected

I've been having a problem over the last several days where iTunes will bounce a couple of times in the Dock, the black triangle appears below the Dock icon, but no window opens up and eventually iTunes shows that it's not responding. I am unable to force quit or kill it in Activity Monitor, and it prevents logging out, restarting or shutting down. I can kill it from the Terminal, and it immediately disappears from 'top' but takes several minutes to disappear from Activity Monitor or to lose the black triangle in the Dock. Trashing the plists for iTunes does not help, and Preferential Treatment and TinkerTool System both report that all is well. I ran the full suite of TechTool Pro tests, as well as directory maintenance and defragging. I also ran the maintenance tasks, disk optimization and pre-binding in TinkerTool System. I've repaired permissions with Disk Utility. iTunes appears to be working normally and without issue in my wife's user. Finally, after reading a post here, I tried unplugging my wife's iPod Shuffle before opening iTunes, and lo and behold, iTunes popped right up. If I connect it after starting iTunes, it's detected as normal.
So, my shotgun ammo is exhausted. Anybody have any idea what would cause my user to be unable to open iTunes when an iPod is connected, but the same works just fine with my wife's user?

Nobody ever solved this

Itunes displays two playlists when nano is connected?

My sons 8 gig nano refuses to sync up and download some albums, video downloads and album art.
A message says there are two accounts in itunes which I guess is related to the title of this thread, two separate lists of playlists show in the source column when he's connected. One list is directly under the "device" and has no heading saying "playlists" The other list looks normal.
After exploring several menu options I'm trying to help but increasingly confused at how his itunes seems to be corrupted.....or is it.

The playlist listed under "DEVICES" is referring to content on the iPod. If you have content in iTunes that is not syncing to the iPod, take a look at your sync preferences. Click on the iPod's name directly beneath DEVICES in the source pane. This should take you to the iPod Summary page. Which options are selected?

ITunes does not respond when I try to play a movie

I just installed the latest iTunes update onto my Windows 64-bit computer and now, whenever I try to watch a movie on iTunes it freezes and does not respond. I have to start the task manager and end the program manually. I have unistalled iTunes and reinstalled it but I still face the problem of iTunes freezing and not responding. I have a pretty good collection of movies and would love to watch them cause well I paid for them but i cant because it keeps FREEZING. Also, it wont let me view trailers on the iTunes store so I'm thinking something is wrong with the 'video' part of my iTunes. Please help.

Although it's not such a good bet with a freeze as with the "iTunes has stopped working" messages, it would do no harm to try the following user tip:

ITunes 11 Not Responding When I Try to Burn a CD

So.. I have a Windows PC, Windows 7 64Bit. I installed the latest version of iTunes.
When I insert a CD-R to burn, it immediately goes into "NOT RESPONDING" mode.
Now, I don't even get that pop-up that allows me to choose CD, Data Disc or MP3 disc. That no longer pops up as it's already in NOT RESPONDING mode.
So, here's what I have tried.
(ALL of these steps did NOT fix the issue)
Deleting and re-installing iTunes.
Tried 6 different brands and types of CD-Rs. Regular, LightScribe, Memorex brand, Maxell brand, Philips brand, etc. No difference.
Updating the drivers of the DVD-ROM/recordable drive.
Did a Window update.
Deleted the drivers for the drive and let Windows Re-install them
Uncheck the "Search Entire Library" option in hourglass search because that, too, freezes iTunes 11.
Repair iTunes (vs. remove).
When none of this worked, I said "Forget this, iTunes 11 isn't stable. I'm going back to version 10.7!"
So, I uninstalled/removed iTunes 11.
I found the install for iTunes 10.7.
I tried to install iTunes 10.7
I got this error: "iTUNES 10.7 Cannot be used because the iTunes library was created in a later version of iTunes"
Lovely.
So, what was left?? I tried SYSTEM RESTORE.
Re-installed iTunes 11.
Did not help.
When I tried to re-install iTunes 10.7, it would NOT open so I cannot go find PREVIOUS iTunes Libraries and use those.
PLEASE help! THANKS!!

Itunes application not responding when I plug in my iphone

I am on itunes 8.2 and when I plug in my iphone itunes just goes into application not responding.
I wait for a while and then unplug the phone and it goes back to working again.
On the phone there is no "Sync" message. In fact with the phone plugged in I can access the phones apps just as if it was not plugged in.
But initially when I plug it in, it does the double vibrate and shows the charging graphic so I know the cable is ok.
The phone is already on 3.1 apparently because some new features are there... like selecting multiple photos to email.
But I don't recall ever running any updates in itunes to make it use the new software as I read you were supposed to do.
I don't want to upgrade to itunes 9 because I read so many people having problems with it... but I wonder if the phone is no longer compatible with itunes 8.2
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
-Jeff

Do you know if the problems people have reported with itunes 9 was before the 9.1 release?
I've heard tons of people saying they were reverting back to itunes 8.2 because 9 was so bad.
Am a bit nervous about that update because of that.
But an applecare guy told me that the 9.1 was supposed to address those issues. I have just not heard anything about that actually fixing things though. Still seems like a lot of people are dreading the new itunes 9.
If you are an itunes 9 user, did you have any problems with it wiping out your library or any terribly long syncing times?
Thanks.

Disk Utility hangs ("not responding") when attempting to Repair Disk on Time Capsule sparsebundle. Help.

I am trying to improve the performance of my Time Machine backup and retrievals via my 2nd Gen. Time Capsule from my iMac Core 2 Duo hard drive with SL 10.6.8. The incremental backups generally take 20 - 40 minutes each hour generally with fewer than 100 MB of data being backed up. I have read through numerous threads on these forums about Time Capsule and Time Machine issues as well as the very helpful Pondini site (http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Home.html) and have tried many other suggestions (listed below), but have been unable to attempt a Disk Utility repair disk on the Time Capsule sparsebundle file.
After locating the sparsebundle 'file' in the finder under Shared/TC/Data, I am only sometimes able to drag the sparsebundle into the Disk Utility volumes and disk window. About fifty percent of the time, Disk Utility hangs when attempting to drag in the sparsebundle. If I am able to get it listed and click on "repair disk", then the beach ball begins to spin and nothing happens. This occurs whether or not I first use AirPort Utility to "Disconnect All Users" from the Time Capsule. I have given it over one hour to attempt the repair disk, but nothing happens, i.e., not a single message shows up in the detail window. The beach ball just spins, and Disk Utility shows up in red as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu.
Also note that on my new Macbook Air, Time Machine runs quite quickly via this same Time Capsule from my new Macbook Air using OS X Lion (which seems to indicate that the Time Capsule drive itself is OK).
I would appreciate any tips on getting Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my sparsebundle, as I seem to have exhausted most other options (see below) for improving Time Capsule performance -- aside of course, from wiping the Time Capsule clean and starting all over.... (which I really don't want to do, and from what I've read, has not helped some people who've tried this anyway).
Many thanks!
Although I would like to focus this thread on the Disk Utility / sparsebundle "Repair Disk" problem, I should mention that I have tried the following other things:
1. Repaired disk permissions on my hard drive
2. Used Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my hard drive after starting up from a SuperDuper external backup
3. Run DiskWarrior on my hard drive, again, from a separate startup disk
4. Did the "full reset of Time Machine", a la Pondini Troubleshooting #A4
5. Changed my computer and Time Capsule names to simple short names with only alphanumeric characters and no spaces
6. Ensured that my Time Capsule is being accessed only via ethernet
7. Relaunched the finder
8. And finally, attempting to use Disk Utility to repair the sparsebundle - thus the nature of this post

OK, no takers out there, but I answered my own question (sort of).
The answer is that even though Disk Utility shows up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu and appears to hang, it is actually still working. A bit of patience shows that after about an hour, my Disk Utility was able to show the 1.44 TB Time Machine sparsebundle from Time Capsule in the disk window on the left hand side. Once this appeared, I was able to click on "Repair Disk" (note that prior to doing this, I had to "Disconnect All Users" from my Time Capsule using the Airport Utility program; otherwise you will get a "could not unmount disk" error). Again, the Repair Disk function appeared to hang Disk Utility as it showed up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu. However, after about 8 hours, Disk Utility did run the entire Repair Disk protocol on the sparsebundle. The results DO NOT show up in the Disk Utility details window - so even if you are patient enough to let it complete, you will not see anything and may think that nothing happened. However, you can find the familiar results of the Repair Disk function by looking on Console - find the "DiskUtility.log" under Files: ˜/Library/Logs.
Unfortunately, I was hoping to find a problem that would have been subsequently repaired which would result in dramatically increased Time Capsule speed, but this was not the case. Disk Utility showed everything to be "OK" and I am stuck with a very slow Time Capsule....
(And of note, my new Macbook Air (OS Lion) Time Machine functions blazingly fast on both backup and retrieval to and from the very same Time Capsule - even though, these are occuring wirelessly via AirPort -- granted the size of this sparsebundle is an order of magnitude smaller at this point, i.e., only 10 GB right now)
Would still be happy to hear of any similar experiences or tips on getting Time Capsule to work more quickly.

Itunes does not launch when iphone is connected

Lately when i connect my iPhone 4, iPhoto opens, but iTunes will not. The last 5 times I have tried to sync, none of my music has copied over. I have tried a full restore on the phone. Mac OS 10.6.8; iOS 4.3.5

Hello 51kFred,
Here is a resource that should help resolve the iPhone not showing in iTunes.

ITunes does not open when iPod is connected

Although the option is checked in iTunes for this iPod touch, iTunes does not automatically open when the iPod is connected. iTunes recognizes the iPod and syncs work as expected, but I have to launch iTunes 'manually'.
Both the MacBook Pro and the iPod touch are running the latest OS and iOS available and iTunes is up to date.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JAClay

Hi again,
I couldn't find the answer to this question when I searched for it using the title, but once I entered the question correct answers from previous users' questions appeared. Seems to be a problem with the search engine...
Anyway, I haven't tried Jolly Giant's solution because the following solution worked before I saw it. Here's how I fixed the problem:
1) Open System Preferences/Accounts,
2) Click Login Items tab,
3) Check if iTunesHelper is in list, probably not there (If it is then try Jolly Giant's solution.),
4) Leave the Accounts/Login Items window open and navigate to the iTunes application, probably in your Applications folder, then Right or CTRL-Click the application icon,
5) Choose 'Show Package Contents' from the pop up menu,
6) In the new Finder window that opens, open the Contents folder,
7) Then open the Resources folder,
8) Find the file named 'iTunesHelper.app' and drag it to the Accounts/Login Items list,
9) Close all windows and log out of your account, then log back in.
That should install the helper that checks if a device has been plugged in and opens iTunes as selected.

FCE 4 hanging/not responding when navigating through photos to import/open

Hi all,
when I select the OPEN (or IMPORT) item in the FILE menu and I navigate through or scroll the images (presented as thumbnails and to be potentially imported) in my HDD or in iphoto events, after a certain moment the spinning wheel appears and FCE hangs / does not respond at all: only solution is the forced quit. CPU seems to work at this moment but not at full throttle because of the hang. This does not happen by doing the same with Imovie...
May you please tell me if you have a similar behavior please? I have FCE 4.0.1 and all latest updates have been installed;
thanks
Emanuele

Small precision:
the hanging / freezing occurs when navigating inside the iphoto library (under the MEDIA title of the right bar of the finder-like window of the OPEN or IMPORT option). No hanging occurs when I scroll the thumbnail images of the ALL IMAGES folder: in spite of this the scrolling may be choppy with transient spinning wheel appearance but without hang...This problem has been reported in another post too, and I would like please to have confirmation then that it is normal to have this hang with iphoto library navigation in FCE from the open / import option.
May you please also tell me if you have a choppy thumbnail scrolling of all your images (in the ALL IMAGES folder) when trying to IMPORT / OPEN?
Cheers and thanks
