  • Why does my Itunes keep freezing when I try to sync my Ipod?

    Hello,
    Everytime I try to rearrange my music or take music on or off my Ipod Nano my Itunes freezes up and I am unable to sync my new music to my Ipod. What is going on? I have uninstalled and reinstalled I have reverted my Ipod back to factory settings and yet it still freezes when I try to add or take music off the Ipod. What other suggestions should I do?
    Thanks,
    Sarai

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Itunes/ipod freeze when i try to sync my ipod

    yesterday i downloaded the most recent version of itunes. i successfully synced my ipod the first time. but now when i try to sync my ipod, itunes freezes up and eventually quits sync-ing.
    i've restored my ipod twice, but it hasn't helped -- each time i trying to sync the ipod, it will begin the process, but freeze after 7-30 songs of 2200.
    and now i just tried to scroll through my ipod songs to see how many were actually there, and it froze up.
    please help. thanks.

    I'm having an similar problem after updating to iTunes 7.1.1.5, Windows XP. I'm using a 3rd Gen 40G iPod. I have reinstalled iTunes several times and restored the iPod so that all data in it has been erased. When I try to synch the iPod to iTunes, first of all it copies very slowly, and then, it will fail after about seven or eight songs and I get the error message that the synch failed due to an unknown cause (error -124). I am able to eject the iPod and iTunes appears to work correctly. I've tried this several times and the same error keeps occurring.

  • My iTunes keeps freezing whe I try to sync it with my ipad

    On my first attempt at synching my iPad with iTunes - after upgrading to iO5 - my iTunes freezes and continues to freeze on each attempt at synching. It works just fine alone and when I sync my iPod. Additionally, many of my subscribed apps on my iPad will not open though I can access the apps that came with the unit such as Mail, iPhoto, etc. Is this a common problem? 
    My familiarity and apptitude with computers is moderate (on a good day) and therefore the problem manifesting and the solution may be obvious to most though unfortunately not me. Thank you in advance for your expertise and help.

    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 the problem has been resolved.
    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 10 freezes when i try to sync 4th gen ipod touch

    My computer freezes every time itunes start on some gapless thing, so i cancel that before it reaches that certain song. But when i connect my ipod to the computer, it freezes at the start of step one of five on the backup part. What should i try to do?

    Are you using security software on your PC? If yes, try to disable the software or check the settings. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

  • My iTunes keeps freezing whenever I try to sync my music to my iPod. Any ideas why?

    I tried restoring it a coupe times and it doesnt work. The last time I did it I opted to not restore from my back-up and set up my iPod as a new one. This time I was able to sync more songs but had the same thing. It froze at song 185.
    I have iTunes for Windows 7 and iPod Touch 4th Genration if that information matters.

  • I had an iPod nano and then got a classic iPod, which then broke. So I wanted to start using my iPod nano again. I still have the same iTunes account, but when I try to sync this iPod with my iTunes nothing happens.

    The music that was on this nano when I stopped using it a few years ago is still on it, and I want to replace it with other songs that I've added to my iTunes since then.

    iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account."  They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store.  It is not required to use an iPod.
    The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time.  When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased.  Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward.  You can then add content to your shuffle.
    The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store.  Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks.

  • Since I updated iTunes locks up when I try to sync.

    I have an old 5th Gen iPod classic and made the mistake of updating iTunes. Now when I try to sync iTunes
    totally freezes...I can't even end task it and have to cut power to close it. It is obviously a problem with the iTunes
    software since the ipod still plays fine. I just can't load any more music on it and Apple ***** for support. Last time
    I buy one of these. Anyways, does anyone know where to get older iTunes Software?

    Hi,
    The only way to gat an older copy of iTunes is through a third party site. Try to Google some. Hope this helps.

  • When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise?

    When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

    Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".
