ITunes "not responding" after trying to sync anything to my iPod Photo

I have tried not using my dock, switching between USB and firewire, and verified that iTunes is not sucking up strange amounts of CPU time or memory. It just becomes non-responsive and the only solution is to force quit the application. iTunes functions "normally" if I put syncing to manual and DON'T TRY TO SYNC. As soon as I do it goes unresponsive again. I already wiped out my iPod thinking the problem was with my iPod and now my iPod is empty with no way for me to download my library back onto it. This problem occurred the first time I tried to use iTunes at all after 7.0.2.

I was having problems with synching when iTunes would check for new episodes for my podcast subscriptions (which I had set to check every hour) immediately after I downloaded version 7.0.2. I tried everything, even going back to version 7.0.1 but to no avail. Each time I'd open iTunes I'd have to quickly go to the preferences and change it to "manual" before it would start checking for updates on the podcasts. If I didn't get there fast enough, I'd force quit and open it again. I finally saved all my podcasts from my iTunes Music Library in a folder on my desktop then went back and deleted them all and resubscribed. I reset the preferences to "check every hour" and it solved the problem. So, I'm assuming that there was some problem with one or more of the podcasts and deleting and resubscribing reset whatever it was which fixed the problem. Not sure if this will work for you but hope it does.

  • ITunes 11.3.1 not responding when trying to sync first generation iPod touch

    Hi,
    I just updated my iTunes to 11.3.1 and now I cannot sync my first generation iPod touch. It gets to step 4 of 4 (syncing music) and on the first song iTunes stops responding. I have a Mac.
    Please can someone help me on how i can get my iPod to sync as normal?

  • Application not responding after trying to open event

    Hi,
    I just updated to Final Cut 10.1.3
    I was working on a project in final cut and my computer crashed. When I restarted my computer and Final Cut, it seemed ok. It opens on the project I was working on before the one I was working on when it crashed. When I go to scroll up in the event, towards where the most recent projects are, eventually I get the spinning rainbow of death and then final cut stops responding. I have forced quit and restarted it but the same thing keeps happening. When I open other earlier projects in the same event, they seem to open and work fine.
    I tried 'Update Projects and Events' but when I click 'update all' it says that it can't find anything to update.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Cat

    I am having the same problem;
    I am working on a project in FCP 10.1.4 and every now and then, usually after making an edit, FCP starts to reload projects and then hangs when trying to load one of them (not always the same one).
    I have to force quit, restart deleting preferences, then after a while it happens again.
    In the Activity Monitor there are two precesses not responding - LaunchDaemon and  Codec32BitTool.

  • My Iphone5 is hanging and not responding after trying to update

    I tried to update my IPhone 5 to the latest version of ITunes, but it didn't complete the update neither operate as normal it is now dead! My IPhone is16 MB, My laptop is 13 TB and  4 GB processor speed

    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.

  • Itunes Not Responding when trying to eject Nano

    Hello. It's my first time to post here. And that's because I've never had any problems before, but that's not the case anymore.
    I recently upgraded itunes to 7.4.3.1. itunes works just fine until I try to add or remove songs or podcasts on my Nano. When I try to do this, it looks as if I can upload or remove songs, yet when I push the eject button to remove the nano, itunes freezes. I must right click on itunes in the taskbar and the not responding window opens and I must shut down itunes. I've left the ipod connected for an hour or more to see if that would help before trying to remove it, but that didn't not help.

    I have the same problem. Itunes temporarily hangs when I do almost any activity. Then after several seconds of no apparent activity (and Not Responding in the Task manager), it wakes up.
    The problem seems to be tied to Quick Time. Quick Time starts OK but has trouble and fits playing videos. I read in another post about uninstalling Quick Time then installing the stand alone version. Would that be appropriate for this problem?
    In the previous version of Itunes and/or Quick Time I had no problems, everythign worked smoothly Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Imovie not responding after trying to import big file.

    I have been attempting to import a large file onto imovie, and just before the file is finished and says that it will be imported in "under a minute" It will say that imovie is not responding. I've tryed restarting my macbook, and trying again with the same result. This is frustrating because I have uploaded a lot of home videos in which I need to edit and get onto dvd. please help!

    I have been attempting to import a large file onto imovie
    How do you define 'large'? iMovie is designed to handle DV streams running at 13GB per hour!
    What is the source of those files? What kind of files are they?
    How would you be able to find out how much space you have free?
    That really is pretty basic stuff. Every time you open a new Finder window it will tell you at the bottom of the window!
    You don't say what Mac you have, and why are you still on 10.4.10 instead of updating to 10.4.11?
    For iMovie to work at its best you need at least 20GB of free space.

  • Iphoto and Itunes not responding after an Apple Software Update

    Hi
    Afew days ago I did the Apple Software Update and since then I haven't been able to get onto my Itunes or Iphoto, both of which I use quite often. Itunes just doesn't load at all and Iphoto starts to open the page but then that multicoloured ball appears and it doesn't respond. I am just wondering why this is happening and whether it's happened to anyone else at all? Ideally I'd like to get rid of this new update but don't know how to go about it. I'm a bit of a computer dunce so if you could offer any solution in a straightforward way I would be so grateful. Thanks!

    created a new user account and the same problem arose there as well.
    Then you need to re-install iPhoto:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applcations Folder to the trash)
    2. Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only...’
    This process will not affect your Library of photos. However: Always back up before an operation like this.

  • IPhoto 9.2.3 - Not responding after tried open all Libraries (Spinning Beach ball)

    For some reason, I created new library after I pressed Option then Click on Create New Library so I had two of them. Since iPhoto 9.2.2 and iPhoto 9.2.3, I opened and still get the spinning beachball for hours. Even I tried updated & upgrade photos and database ... still it wouldn't work. Does anyone have an advice or have simliar problem?
    Thanks!
    Scott
    iMac 4,1, (V.10.6.8), 2GB Ram, 1TB HD, & iPhoto '11 (V.9.2.3)

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • Iphone will not respond after trying to put it into DFU mode while in recovery mode.

    I tried to restore my iphone 4 and recieved error 21 in itunes, while in recovery mode I tried to put it into DFU mode and then it turned off and wont turn back on or be recognized by itunes or pc. I tried doing a hard reset and no luck. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.
