ITunes locking up after sync,,,Please Help !!!

Hi All-
I have recently switched my iTunes from my desktop to my laptop and i used the "shared" feature to transfer my podcasts from my desktop to my pc via the wireless network in my house. Since doing so.
I try to sync the iPod and what i get is the 3 steps to sync, it idintifies the iPod, backs up the iPod and then sync the iPod. nothing transfers with the 3rd (syncing) step.
My problem happens when I try to click on the podcasts tab along the top of the screen. I wish to select that my podcasts be able to sync, but when I click the podcast icon, the whole program freezes up, and does not respond.
I have tried the following,,,,
Re-Installed iTunes, Shut off the pc and re start and re run iTunes and tried to sync again,,,but nothing works,
Please help me and let me know what mght help me get past this so I can select the items I wish to have sync with the iPod.
Thanks for your time and feel free to ask questions if you need further informsation.
Sincerely- Doug

Why are you introducing issues instead of simply syncing to your desktop?
Turning on home sharing in iTunes does not copy media to other computers.
The media still resides on the system sharing the media, in your case that is your desk top.
Either sync with your desktop or on your laptop subscribe to the podcasts so that their files reside ON your laptop.

Videos NOR Music will load after SYNC, Please HELP

Hello everyone,
I have an iPad and Recently bought RIO to watch on the iPad.
After it downloaded I could not find it anywhere! So I synced to my iTunes and there it was....after the iPad was done syncing I ejected it....
And NOW the Music folder NOR the iPod apps will open.
In my setting my iPad shows that there is 0 movies and 0 songe.....but when I connect it to my iTunes....it shows all the music and videos are on my iPad!
Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I just wanted to get the question out ASAP....
So here is the breakdown
My 2 year old wanted to watch something new. So i decided to use my iPad and look for a new movie. He saw the preview of RIO and wanted to watch it.
So i downloaded it and once it was finished I went to my main page and opened the videos icon. All my videos were there, but when I looked for RIO it was not there. I even went to the search page and only angrey birds same up (RIO EDITION).
So i was like DANG....walked downstairs and plugged my iPad inot my computer. I opened iTunes and proceeded to transfer purchases. So RIO transfered over to my iTunes on my PC.
Once it was complete, I clicked the eject button and "tried" to open the videos app.....Nothing happened. It went the videos black background screen for like 7 seconds then it automatically exits and returns to the home screen. I was like...WHAT??
I tried and tried again with no luck.
I walked back to my computer and tried to resync and remove all videos and music over and over and over with no luck!
So at the moment, when i try to open either the video or the ipod apps...they just sit at the background screen for about 7 seconds then shuts down and returns to the home screen.
When i go to my settings in my iPad it says there are NO songs and NO videos on my iPad.
When I plug it into my iTunes, it shows that I have 9gb of free space on my 64gb iPad....1180 songs and like 8 movies and 22 tv shows...mostly kids stuff...
So I hope that helps clarify my problem.
I have had this once before, but it fixed itself, I was at work and a few hours later everything was working!
But NOT this time, its just not wanting to play at all
Thanks again for your HELP!

2ng gen ipod touch, Apps NEVER work after sync.
am i missing something? i basically have to lose all my apps in order to add tunes.
its doing my head in, Help pweeeessee..

Hi
Try to reset your iPod and then deauthorize and reauthorize your computer, then sync the iPod again.
To reset the iPod touch just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo appear.
You can deauthorize the computer from the iTunes Store menu.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 provides more general troubleshooting tips for applications purchased from the App store.

ITunes Locked On iPod Screen PLEASE HELP!

Okay, so I recently bought a new computer, and I downloaded all of my iTunes software onto the new one. My other computer doesn't even turn on anymore, so I can't access it at all to back up my files. I have 85 songs on my iPod. (It's a nano, if that makes a difference.) When I plug my iPod into my computer, it charges fine, and it says Do Not Disconnect for a while, but nothing updates. iTunes does recognize it, but when I click on it in the side bar in iTunes, all of my songs are gray and I can not click on them. Then at the small bar on the bottom which tells you how much space is taken up on your iPod, it has a little lock next to it. I am assuming my iPod is locked. The hold button is NOT on. I tried resetting it, by just switching the hold button, and holding the menu and select button, and it reset, but it doesn't work. I had my friend plug in HER nano, and all her music is normal and it is not locked. (There isn't a lock symbol near the memory bar at the bottom.) I think I may have locked it by accident and I don't know how to unlock it!! All my music plays and it is completley normal, except for that I can't load any music onto my iPod or take music from my iPod and put it into my computer.
PLLLLLEASE HELP! I WANT IT TO WORK!

"all of my songs are gray and I can not click on them"
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
"All my music plays and it is completley normal, except for that I can't load any music onto my iPod or take music from my iPod and put it into my computer."
In manual mode you will be able to drag and add songs to your iPod. However you can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod.

Itunes locked up (i think) - please help

Hey i just got my Ipod for christmas and i need some help with this. I have 45 dollars worth of itunes cards and I went to download Lost (the first episode) and about a quarter of the way through the download it stopped and it paused the dowload. How do i resume it? Do i have to repurchase it?

Well I can't give you a for-sure on that, but when downloads used to stall through my dial-up connection, I did used to re-boot as a pretty normal course of events. It was a sloow connection, so I'd usually launch the downloading once a day. If it stalled, I'd just try it again the next day.

"I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

Trying to reset/restore my daughters ipod, but no matter what advice I get, nothing works. There is no summary tab on itunes to restore/reset. PLEASE HELP!

Without knowing current status of the iPod:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

HT4913 iTunes locks up after I add the computer to Match

iTunes locks up after I add the computer to Match. I have to End the Process from the Task Manager. When I reopen, it says Match encountered an error and I should Sign out and sign back in again. I have done this numerous times and no luck. I have run a repair from the Programs screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. This is a new computer runing Windows 7.

I had the EXACT same problem. My 60GB video iPOD was stolen, so I went and bought a new 80GB. I plugged it in, and BAM, iTunes is frozen!
I fixed it. I'm not going to say that this is the best way to do it, but it worked, so, use this solution at your own risk, I hope it helps some people out.
1. I did a file search of my entire computer for "itunes" and it came up with 292 results! Everytime I had downloaded it, copied it, transferred info from 1 computer to another, another copy was made. I don't know for sure, but I believe there was a conflict between 1 or more copies of iTunes, and it didn't know which program file to use, so it just locked up.
2. I copied all of the music that was in my "iTunes music folder" in My Music for a back up and named it something that didn't contain "iTunes", since anything you downloaded from the iTunes store can only be downloaded once.
3. I followed the file path for EVERY file that had anything to do with iTunes, and manually put it in the recycle bin- I mean program files, short cuts, everything. The exception is (& I stress this) the copy of your iTunes folder you just made has your podcasts, etc which will show up in your search. Make sure you recognize this and DO NOT delete those files. I also deleted anything that had to do with the previous iPOD. There are a few of them. That resolved any conflict I had with the previous one.
4. I then emptied the recycle bin & restarted the computer.
5. Go to Apple.com and download the new iTunes.
When I opened it up, it showed NO music, as it should. I went to "Import folder", found the folder that I copied from the iTunes music folder and clicked ok. 3 1/2 hrs later, I was transferring 8889 songs, videos, podcasts & movies to my new iPOD.
Think about each step as you do it, so you don't jack it up but it worked for me. Hope it does for you too.

ITunes locks up after adding just 1 song

My upgraded, removed, and readded iTunes locks up after adding just one song. It just stops responding. Then I have to turn it on over and over again just to get music on the thing. Can someone help me?

There are lots of reasons why this might happen.
One quick thing to check,
Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab > Importing tab
What's your setting for "use error correction when reading audio cds"?
Change it the other way of what it is now, and try importing again.

it is an itouch, i buy apps from the app store, they are purchased, they show up in my app section but when i try to sync them to my itouch they do not show up in on the itouch. i have tried to atuthorize and deauthorize the computer also few times, rebooted computer and still nothing. when i restore the firmware and have everything reinstall all over again the apps music and such, all show up. however if i buy a new app and try to sync it with the itouch it does not show up despite the fact that the computer states 'installing "......" whatever app. it happens with numerous apps, there is no rhyme and reason to why certain apps just do not show up on the itouch. the authorize/deauthorize deal does nothing to rectify the situtaion. any other ideas ?

The iphone is not storage/backup device.
The sync is one way - computer to iphone.
The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
