Itunes has stopped recoginising my ipod when plugged in

Itunes has stopped recognising my ipod when connected .
The ipod logo on the left of the screen no longer appears.
Up to this point it had all worked fine and I have not altered any settings .
This suddenly happened when I was in the middle of buying music from the itunes store.
Itunes recognises all other devices when connected and all cables are working fine.
My laptop recognises my ipod when connected and in all other respects the ipod works fine .

Hello docker474,
The article linked below provides some useful troubleshooting steps that can help get your iPod to reappear in iTunes.

ITunes has stopped synchronizing my iPod Touch. When reserve copying begins, synchronizing just stops. Can you help me, please? I reallu don't know what to do.

iTunes has stopped synchronising my iPod Touch. When a reserve copying begins, sunchronising just stops. Usually. I tried to update iTunes, but this didn't help me. For God's sake, someone, please, help me!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

iTunes for Windows 10.7.0.21: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Windows keeps giving me "itunes has stopped working" error message when I start itunes? How can i fix this?

After downloading the newest version, 10.6.1, whenever I open itunes I almost immediately get a "itunes has stopped working" error messsage, in which the only option is to hit the "close the program" button. Simply closing the error message closes the program as well. I am operated under windows XP with the latest updates (or so the updater tells me). It seems like its getting stuck trying to send me a new user agreement because dont you have to agree to one for every new update? It just can't seem to get past that point. I tried opening it up in safe mode but that didnt work either. Any help would be greatly appeciated.

Looks like itunes was still trying to communicate with my iphone and got confused when it couldnt find it. Found this in another post and it worked great.
Solution:
Make sure you are not connected to the internet and then open itunes. Sync your phone and then enable the internet again. Then stay connected to the internet and close your itunes and reopen it. Bam problem solved.

Itunes has stopped detecting my ipod nano 7th generation

Hi I have recently bought an ipod nano (7th generation). Initially I connected it to my computer and everything was working fine but it has now stopped appearing when I connect it to iTunes. It connects - the ipod screen shows it is connected - but I cannot sync it or transfer music.
I have tried it on my wife's computer and it works as normal but all my music is on my laptop. I don't know if I need to download a mobile support or something but it's very frustrating. I have the latest version of iTunes on both laptops/
I've followed the steps on the online help but the ipod isn't even appearing in my laptop's device manager. Gratedful for any help

It's working now, apple must have updated itunes that fixed the issue, not sure.

Itunes is not recognising my ipod when plugged in to my computer

I have recently updated itunes and my ipod is no longer recognised by my computer when i plug it in.

Hi claremike,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that your iPod Classic is not connecting to iTunes on your Windows computer after you completed an update to iTunes. There could be a few different things that could cause this. I suggest starting with number 1 in the following article and using the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. If the issue remains unresolved after you complete the troubleshooting assistant, continue in this article on number 2 and work your way down.
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

ITunes has stopped recognising my iPod 80GB!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could please help me.
My iPod wiped itself of all it's music yesterday so i thought I will plug it back in and restore it to it's original settings.
Although Windows still recognises it, iTunes won't.
I have already tried the R's and they didn't work, in fact it had messed up my iTunes now .
Please can someone help me?

After many failed ttempts over the last few days my iPod has started to work perfectly.
I followed the instructions given here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
I then plugged it into my mp3 "mains charger" and re-charged the battery, now it is working fine.
I cannot explain why but maybe it's worth a try?
Let me know how you get on.

ITunes for Windows 11.0.4: "iTunes has stopped working" error messages when playing videos, video podcasts, movies and TV shows

Title says it all.
I've had this issue on this machine for some time but not forever. Music playback is fine but anything video related freezes the program. When I launch the program in safe mode it works though. Clearly some add-on or file is causing it to foul up.
Before anyone suggests this: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4221 <-- I've tried it to no avail so please don't repost
Anyways this is really annoying, please help.
Thanks
P.S. I know my way around the computer so no need to cripple your explaination

Hello Appropriator,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines further suggestions for troubleshooting video playback. While you have already completed one of the steps, there are a few more that you can try:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
Additional Information
Some customers using computers containing NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers may experience unexpected behavior when playing videos in iTunes on Windows from a SATA hard drive. iTunes may unexpectedly quit or become unresponsive or the computer may unexpectedly reboot or show a blue screen. Standard IDE hard disks are unaffected by this issue. If your computer contains a standard IDE hard disk, you can copy your video files to that disk and play those copies of the files in iTunes or QuickTime Player.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Please HELP, "iTunes has stopped working" error after connecting iPod video

People please help me out! I have a Razer Blade gaming laptop with Windows 8 64bit.
I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and an iPod video (80GB). I had some weeks from not connecting the iPod to my computer, but this morning that I did so I can upload some new music to it, iTunes just crash, I get the "iTunes has stopped working" error message when I connect the iPod video. I do not have this problem with either the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2, when I connect these, iTunes works fine, once I connect the iPod, then all goes down
Procedures that I already tried and that were unsuccessful to solve the problem:
Uninstall Quicktime
Uninstall iTunes and reinstall
Reset the iPod (several times)
Delete TEMP files on computer
Restart the computer (several times)
Use a different cable and a different USB port
The iPod is working fine, if I plug it to my car stereo or if I use it with headphones it works great, no problems nor errors. My computer also identify the iPod as a hard disk, no error messages from Windows, it is just the freakin' iTunes that freezes everytime that I plug the iPod
PLEASE HELP ME OUT, I've searched forums on this particular issue but with no luck.
Thanks very much!

It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:
[iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

Can't get itunes. I get the following message when I click on either the shortcut or the program. It says ITunes has stopped working and I can either check on line for a solution and close the program or just close the program.

When I click on the itunes shortcut or the program I get the following message:
ITunes has stopped working. My two options are: Windows can check on line for a solution to the problem or close the program.
It seems that my entire library is not there. If I sync my ipod will it add it back into my library on the computer?
I've even tried installing again and nothing works. Tried the "repair" and it says that ITunes is loaded but I stil get the above error when I try to open the program.
Thanks

ITunes Match: iTunes has stopped working

I don’t see any other reports of this problem on the Apple Support Communities forum. Am I the only person having this problem?
I subscribed to iTunes Match last weekend. I have not been able to upload/match all of my songs. Most of the songs that are ineligible are songs that I recorded myself. But there are many other songs that I recorded myself that did upload. When I try to match, I get the ITunes has Stopped Working message.
When I go to update iTunes Match, I get the following sequence:
Gathering information about your iTunes Library… 45 seconds
Waiting for Apple to deliver your iTunes Match Results… 120 seconds
Delivering your iTunes Match results… 20 seconds
Matching your music with songs in the iTunes Store…
    Status bar gets about 95% through then sits for about 90 seconds.
Uploading remaining songs and artwork…
After just a few seconds, I get the following error:
iTunes has stopped working
   Windows is checking for a solution to the problem…
       After about 60 seconds, I get the following dialogue box:
iTunes has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
Available.
I have 11139 items.
Of those, 469 are ineligible, and 441 are Waiting.

Hello Jimzgoldfinch,
Thanks for your reply. It took me a couple of days to get to your suggestion. I removed ALL ineligible tunes. I did not remove the 1,000 or so songs that are waiting. I signed out & back in, which I've probably done 30 times in the last few days. iTunes pretty much requires that I do that each time I open iTunes.
I then interrupted the 3-step match process by clicking on the X in the progress window up top. I then highlighted one song that showed the "waiting" cloud. I right-clicked & chose "Add to iCloud". It worked. Then my iTunes screen kind of froze for about 10 seconds. After it unfroze, I tried the same thing with another song. This time, iTunes came back with a message about not being able to establish a network connection. I closed iTunes, launched it again, and signed out & back in; tried another song; it worked; then tried 2nd song and got the same message. I logged out & back in a 3rd time (or 35th time); tried an album; it worked. iTunes froze again. I right-clicked another tune, but the "Add to iCloud" option is missing.
This is incredibly frustrating and seems like a total waste of my time. Would have been better to just buy an iPod to replace my 6-year old one that died. I can't believe Apple has put out such a bug-ridden product.
Now I'm stuck because many songs won't sync to my iPhone because with iTunes Match (even if it's turned off), I can no longer control what gets synced. And they're not in iCloud; so I can't download them. I used to be able to choose songs, albums, genres & playlists to sync to my iPhone once I plugged it into my computer. Now, when I click on the iPhone icon on the sidebar, those options are gone.
I guess I need to try to get in touch with Apple.

ITunes has stopped working/SyncServer has stooped working

iTunes boots up and about 5-10 seconds later I receive the iTunes has stopped working message. When I click on the "Check online for solution and close the program" button it tells me that SQLite 3 has stopped working properly and a new version is available. The link takes me to the SQLIte page which is confusing. I've tried to downlaod what looks like download install files and even coping files. Can anyone tell me if SQLite is really the problem or how to download the files correctly. I'll also get the SyncServer has stopped working when I plug in my iPhone.

When I click on the "Check online for solution and close the program" button it tells me that SQLite 3 has stopped working properly
That suggests trouble with your Apple Application Support. (iTunes needs a properly functioning AAS in order to work correctly.)
How we try to fix it depends on if your Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit. There's links to 32-bit and 64-bit instructions in the following thread (along with links to instructions on how to determine if you're 32-bit or 64-bit):
