  • Itunes not responding when ipod is connected.

    first i should say that my ipod has been acting slow the past couple days. if i'm scrolling through songs it will frequently freeze for a few seconds before moving on to the next song that i scrolled to. plugging my ipod into my computer last night i noticed my itunes page was black with a few words showing. after fiddling with it for awhile i unplugged my ipod and the itunes screen disappeared as soon as i did. today when i turned on my computer, with my ipod already connected, the black itunes screen appeared again. this did not make any of my computers other functions slower.. it was just annoying as i couldn't minimize it or exit the program. i went to task manager to try to end program but that didn't work. again i simply unplugged my ipod and the screen went away as soon as i did. i brought up itunes without the ipod connected and it came up fine, it plays music, and it runs smooth, but as soon as i connect the ipod it will freeze and i can't do anything until i disconnect. i'm not sure how to fix this problem and with the sluggish-ness of my ipod before i connected i started thinking maybe my ipod has a bug. i have the latest version of itunes installed, and i have vista on my computer. any help would be appreciated! thanks!

  • ITunes not responding when I plug in my iPod

    Hey all, I need some help. Recently when I plug my iPod into my PC to update my iPod with the new music that I have loaded into iTunes, as soon as I do iTunes stops working and when I checked in my windows task manager under appplications/status it says iTunes is not responding. when my iPod is not plugged in, iTunes works fine. I can't get past this. Yes I did load the updated software, it didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    This is also happening to me updated latest version of Itunes. Itunes works fine but doesn't show the ipod when I attach. Tried most of the hints on the web site but nothing is working. Plugged the ipod into my base station and hey presto it works fine. I have also tried top re load the ipod software on the lap top but this isn't working either it asks for the ipod to be plugged in when it is plugged in it doesn't see it. Yet in windows explorer you can see the ipod is connected. Any idea's anyone. Shall i try to install version 6.0.0 of itunes instead of the latest version ?

  • 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 ?

  • ITunes not opening when device connected

    About a week ago, iTunes stopped opening when I connected my iPhone.  If I then open iTunes manually, the device will be recognized and will sync.  I checked in the system preferences and my Login Items had iTuneshelper checked, but the icon was a blank piece of paper and on the righ margin there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.
    I don't necessarily want iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone, but I would like to be in control of if it does or doesn't.
    How do I set this straight?

    Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
    Select the Summmary tab from the menu.
    Select or deselect:  Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    And from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    You can select to have the iPhone sync automatically (or not) there.
    Or, right or control click the iPhone under Devices then make a selection.

  • ITunes hangs "not responding" when nano 5g connected to PC

    Hi,
    Just bought my wife a Nano 5g for her birthday to replace her old broken 2nd gen version.
    Plugged it in, iTunes fired up as usual, except it complained that v9 is needed.
    V9 downloaded and installed, but hangs when ipod connected, task manager shows as "not responding"
    I've tried: uninstalling and reinstalling itunes; Changing usb cables and usb port; Also tried on another PC.
    Same thing happens.
    Is this a dud ipod? What are my options?
    Been an ipod user for years and have always hated itunes as a piece of software and this could well be the final straw.
    Help needed please.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I have used the nano on XP Home and Vista with no problems. So I would keep looking for a solution on your home system. If you are running service pack 3 and all the latest updates for iTunes and the firmware for you nano, you should be good.
    You might start thinking about things that are on your home system that are not on the system at work. Maybe anti virus software, etc. that kind of thing. I don't know anything specific regarding anti virus software, just using that as an example that might play into it.
    My system running XP home has avast anti virus, steam and a bunch of games installed. I also have some Logitech drivers installed for their keyboards, mice, etc. but that is really it.

  • Itunes not responding when connecting iPhone 4s

    Every time I connect my iPhone 4s to my iMac with iTunes open, iTunes stops responding. iPhoto comes up ok, but iTunes just has the coloured circle cursor and I have to force quit iTunes. i have tried reloading iTunes. iTunes won't let me send it to trash either. Help getting exasperated.
    Thanks

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • TS4062 I have the latest iTunes update and can't sync my iPhone 5 with Windows 8.1.  iTunes not showing my device is connected.

    I recently updated from Windows 8 to 8.1.  Now I can't sync my iPhone 5.  I have the latest version of iTunes and my phone is updated as well.  It worked fine with Windows 8.  Now iTunes doesn't show my phone when it's connected. My computer does recognize that my phone is connected.  Is there a fix for Windows 8.1?

    these are common problems with windows 8.1 and you can point the fault at MS not iTunes

  • 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.

  • ITunes "not responding" every time I connect iPhone

    Can anyone offer some advice here please? I just got my new iphone 3G, and downloaded iTunes 7.7. It all worked fine and synched OK to the new phone.
    However, every time I connect the phone subsequently, the PC opens a window to say that a camera has been connected and asks me to chose a program. Whatever I then do (OK or Cancel), iTunes freezes up. Does anyone have any suggestions lease?

    I mean the program will open, but when asked to open anything it just sets with the rainbow pie spinning. Click on garageband in the dock and it says that is not responding.

  • ITunes "Not Responding" when I try burning

    Hello there,
    I have been having this problem for quite a while. My iTunes stops working if I try to do anything involving burning. I can burn with media player and such and have no problems.
    If I go to Edit, preferences, advanced, burning.. to change my options, iTunes freezes up and I have to CtrlAltDel and shut it down. And it always says "Not Responding" I tried just forgetting about the options and putting in the blank CD, but as soon as I press 'Burn Cd' the same thing happens. I tried downloading new versions and all of that, but it still doesn't work. I have had other problems with iTunes in the past but this is the first involving burning. I've even unistall - reinstalled but it doesn't make any difference. It used to burn just fine, and then it started freezing up in the preferences menu, now just today it has started freezing up when i hit 'burn cd'. Any idea how I fix this?

  • Temp solution to iTunes "Not Responding" when no network present

    I turned off airport and unplugged ethernet, then started iTunes. It didn't crash, so I un-checked "Automatically check for iTunes updates" in iTunes prefs. Now it doesn't try to hit the network at launch, and it works fine. Just don't try to "Get CD track names" or anything else that requires the network, or iTunes will crash again.
    Hope it helps
