Hi Dave,
Try putting the iPod into recovery mode and restoring it in iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
This would erase the contents of the iPod but you can check iTunes for a backup before restoring from recovery mode. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 provides more information about iPhone backups.

  • ITunes Not Responding/Cannot Sync iPhone since Firmware 3.0

    Since I installed 3.0 on my iPhone, iTunes keeps crashing when i connect my iPhone, i can no longer sync it with iTunes. When I connect the iPhone, iTunes stops responding.
    I have restarted my PC and my iPhone and have even un-installed and re-installed iTunes from my PC.
    It is really frustrating because i recently trialed Mobile Me but decided to cancel the trail as i didnt feel i would use it, after i cancelled my account i lost ALL my contacts and calandar entries and need to sync my iPhone with Outlook to get them back.
    I have not downloaded any Podcasts, I have uninstalled anything i downloaded on my Lappy since the last time my iPhone worked with iTunes and nothing I do helps.
    It's soooo annoying!
    Please help!
    Thanks.
    Mac.

    I am running Vista and have the not responding ever since Itunes went to 8. I do not subscribe to podcasts, TV shows or anything but music and removing the rest from preferences makes no difference.
    If I have my iPhone plugged in before I start iTunes then I can very occassionally get it to work but most of the time it fails.
    I have noticed that if iTunes starts accessing the Store then it will sync the iPhone but otherwise it stops responding. Restarting the Apple Mobile Device service makes no difference.
    iTunes works fine with my Nano 8Gb.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Not Responding (Freezing) When Working With Other Programs

    Hello,
    I have a performance issue with Premiere Pro 5.0.3 version. When I have the program open and bounce to another program or Windows Explorer window lets say to drag in an asset such as a music or video file and then when I make the Premiere window active the program does not respond for a good 15 seconds, then after some processing (you see the mouse icon change and hear the hard drive chugging), I am able to again work. This is happening every time I switch windows to work on something else. Even if I just click away to another window and click right back without doing anything else, it does this non responding action. It even says it in the title bar (Not responding). I am wasting so much time waiting for the program to respond.
    My system :
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Intel Core i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80 GHz
    8.00 GB of RAM
    Quadra 5800 Nvidia graphics card
    Drobo Pro 24 TB drive (where my project files, music & video files live) connected via iSCUSI
    Sonnet 4 TB raid drive (scratch disc) connect via ESATA
    Dual Monitors
    Please help!

    Doug,
    Similar had plagued earlier releases of CS5, but I thought that it had been addressed with the CS5.0.3 update. Maybe I am wrong.
    There were several other threads here, with similar problems. Maybe they contain some tips that will help. The "constant" seemed to be shifting focus from PrPro, and then back to PrPro.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • ITunes 8.1 freezes when iPod touch is plugged in, unfreezes when pluggedout

    I've just updated my iPod touch 1st gen to 2.2.1, it was working and syncing perfectly for two days. This morning, when the iPod touch was plugged into iTunes, iTunes froze when the iPod was recognized by the computer. I tried plugging the iPod touch out of the computer, and iTunes almost instantly went back to functioning correctly.
    If I attempt to start iTunes with the iPod already plugged in, it starts up frozen and does not function. I have to use Task Manager to manually quit the process every time.
    This is all still strange since the only thing different I did from last night is download several podcasts and update one app. I've tried deleting these podcasts and uninstalling the app, but to no avail.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Stop Itunes from automatically opening when IPhone connected to computer

    Using IPhone 3G with Windows XP Pro (both with latest updates)
    When I connect IPhone 3g to the usb cable to computer, ITunes always automatically opens. This is a waste, if I am only charging the IPhone. Is there a way to make ITunes not open automatically when IPhone is connected
    Thanks
    Bob

    Hi Guys..
    Had the same problem..
    And now its got solved!! :-D
    Leaving both "iTunes > Preferences > Syncing > Disable automatic syncing for all.." AND "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" on the summary page, UNCHECKED, solved the issue for me.
    Do give it a try..
    Cheers!
    Bye.

  • Itunes not responding when I sign into my apple ID. Otherwise itunes is working fine

    Itunes functions properly when I am not signed into my Apple account. As soon as I sign in, it starts freezing and says Itunes not responding. It also normally saves my apple ID in itunes every time I open the application, but now each time I do it makes me sign in again. So frustrated...how do I fix this?

    You are logging into the account that you bought those games with, and you haven't changed countries since buying them ? If they don't show in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPod then do they show on the account's purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they do then are they hidden from the Purchased tab : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

  • Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

    No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

    Hi Keith,
    Try closing all the applications you have running in the background and re-open iTunes, if that doesn't work I recommend to restart your machine and make sure you have the lastest version of iTunes.
    Thanks

  • When I select "Get Info" in iTunes, iTunes "NOT RESPONDING"

    when I select "Get Info" in iTunes, iTunes "NOT RESPONDING"

    What you see in iTunes is a database list which also contains unseen information as to which file iTunes should play on your computer when you click on a track.  Usually those files are in folders inside your iTunes > Media folder.  When iTunes asks you to find a file say yes and then guide it to the actual file you want it to play in your media folder.  It should then asks if you want it to find others and will re-scan the series of folders to rebuild the links.  If you cannot find the file on your computer then you will have to restore from a backup.
