ITunes locks up after connecting iPod

Ok, heres the problem: I open Itunes, and everything navigational wise works ok. I connect my Ipod, and it will be fine for like 10 seconds, and then it freezes up. What do I do?

THis seems to be a problem across the board. It happens to me. I have an imac with intel....
Funny how quiet mac support is about this.....

  • ITunes 6 crashed after connecting iPod

    I upgraded to version 6.0 after having problems with 5.0. Everything was working fine with 6.0 except the CDs (not recognized by iTunes). When I connected my iPod to sync, a message came up "iTunes has encountered an error & needs to close." My iPod works fine, however now iTunes will not open. I'm running NIS 2005, which I shut down, of course, during install.
    Thanks!!

    hi Yvonne!
    It's just sitting there doing nothing when I attempt to lauch....
    hmmm. that one's probably your NIS 2005. first see:
    b noir, "itunes wont open" #6, 02:11pm Oct 3, 2005 CDT
    ... and it's plausible that Norton might be causing the crash-on-plug-in too ... odd things can happen when antivirus packages think that the hard drives that they should be scanning include an ipod.
    once we get your itunes launching again, let's try an experiment. if you disable Norton first, can you plug in the ipod without crashing your itunes?
    keep us posted.

  • My Itunes locks when I connect my Ipod classic. I have the latest version of Itunes as of 10/31/11.  Any fixes???

    My Itunes locks when I connect my Ipod classic.  I have the latest version of Itunes as of 10/31/11.  Anyone have any fixes?

    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 n 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 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:

  • 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.

  • I am unable to get beyond the "sync with iTunes" splash page after connecting my iPhone; every tab is grey. What gives?

    I am unable to get beyond the "sync with iTunes" splash page after connecting my iPhone; every tab is grey. What gives?

    Is the computer the one the device normally syncs with?
    If not, sync with the computer it normally syncs with.
    If it is, place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.

  • 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.

    Change it the other way of what it is now, and try importing again.

  • Itunes locks up after Ipod Classic Sync and eject

    Windows 7. Latest rev of Itunes. Ipod Classic 80GB. Everything has been working fine for years. Now when I sync and then eject the Ipod, Itunes locks up and I have to do a restart to the computer to get Itunes working again.

    Greetings bill162,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like iTunes on Windows will freeze after syncing and ejecting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • TS1425 itunes said it needed to fix something and it eraced my songs and would not put them back now my ipod acts like new with no songs and itunes locks up when connected

    I have around 4500 songs on itunes and none on my ipod
    when I connect my Ipod itunes said it needs to scan something recomended so I tell it to fix and then itunes stops responding even the task manager will not turn it off just locks up my computer untill i have to pull the plug

    Try restoring your iPod to factory settings in iTunes first.  This procedure wipes all data from the iPod and sets it back to its original default settings by reloading a fresh copy of the iPod's firmware.

  • 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 locking up with new ipod

    I have a ipod video and an older 20G, I just brought a 2G nano, and yes I have the updated 7.0 itunes. My itunes locks up every time that I place the newer nano onto the computer. I have restored the nano, and still nothing. Only thing that I can tell you is that the itunes is telling me that it is updating my nano everytime that I connect it. But it isn't. I have gone into an apple store and they told me to restore the nano and update to the 7.0 version of itunes. I have done this all and I would simply like to be able to go running with my nano~! Thanks for any help, really!

    I don't know. I'm simply suggesting some troubleshooting steps to take. If you can isolate the fault to the iPod itself then you can go from there.

  • ITunes stop working when connecting ipod 4th generation on Vista

    When connecting ipod 4th generation to a computer running Vista Ultimate, ITunes (version 8) closes. Windows provide the following message - 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.
    Thanks!

    i have the same issue... but i found a workaround.. i tried 3 diff OS's . didnt change the problem. To Add apps or music to ur Ipod... simply DISCONNECT the Ipod from the PC then add files/folders to library. Then connect the ipod back to PC and sync. it has no problem adding the files that way (at least in my case) I hope this helps... Good Luck =)

  • ITunes locks up after adding music to library

    Using the 7.5 version, everytime I add music to my library via importing from a CD, itunes locks up and I am forced to shut itunes down using the Windows Task Manager. I realize that many are having problems with 7.5, but has anyone had this problem yet? And better yet, does anyone know how to fix it?

    There are lots of reasons why this might happen.
