ITunes Program Freezes, after update of 8.1.1

Windows XP (labtop)
I just updated to newer version (8.1.1) of itunes. When I connect itouch to usb port it goes through process and downloads pictures, once complete itunes freezes. I can not connect to sync music. I come to a dead stop and it freezes iTunes Program and I have to use ctrl, alt and delete to escape program. If I disconnect from usb and bring up itunes it opens fine. Once itouch (MB528LL) 8G is connected, it freezes and nothing can be done.
What I've done is, a search on the computer of all files for itunes, safari and quicktime and uninstalled and deleted everything. Then a new install of it all. This only allowed me to get a least past the picture download. (Then the Freeze)
I've spent hours on this and I'm LOSING IT!! HELP!!!!!!!!!! 13 yr old Daughters iTouch!!

Hi,
Make sure the iPod touch is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it.
You can also try deleting the podcasts from the iPod as others have suggested here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1960227
+"*Delete a podcast:* In the podcasts list in iPod, swipe left or right over the podcast, then+
+tap Delete."+ from page 46 of the iPod touch User Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf
If the issue persists after directly connecting the iPod touch and trying the tips in the other thread, try restoring the iPod from recovery mode. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 will walk you through the process.

  • Itunes keeps freezing after update....

    Hi,
    I have had my Itunes library on a external drive through my airport extreme for some time now and have had no problems. When I updated my OS to Leopard and Itunes10 I started having problems with Itunes freezing. I realized I needed to mount my drive before opening Itunes and this seemed to work. But after the most recent update Itunes has started freezing again or just taking a really long time to load and when I access my library through my 2nd gen Apple tv it now locks up Itunes. If my Itunes is frozen I can turn off my airport and it unfreezes but I have to reconnect with my library and it just freezes up again. Can anyone help Ive tried everything it seems.....

    Hi...
    Has an answer been posted to this? I have exactly the same issues; and it is driving me absolutely insane! It keeps on freezing/unfreezing and has become incredibly slow!!! It takes me up to an hour to add 4 tracks to the library...
    I upgraded my entire IT to Mac because of the iTunes integrations, but now I am starting to regret it!

    Cannot get itunes to open after updating.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times asper itunes instructions. 

    Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
    There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.

  • Wifi on iPad freeZing after update

    wwifi keeps freezing after update.

    Hey F.hodgkiss,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity. I have also included the steps related to the symptoms you may be experiencing:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap  and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
    If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
    Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
    If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
    If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
    If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
    If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thanks,

  • ITunes 9 freezes while "Updating iTunes Library"

    I have never had an issue with iTunes before, and after installing the newest version, I opened iTunes for the first time. It successfully went through the "Checking iTunes Library" progress bar, but when the "Updating iTunes Library" progress bar comes up, it gets to about 80% and then freezes my entire computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same issue. I've tried uninstalling and installing an older version, but it would not allow me to start the old version because it said something had already been created by iTunes 9. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas how to fix it? I never realized how dependent I was on iTunes until I wasn't able to use it anymore!

    I have been having the same problem. Then I got the idea to cut and paste the message that comes up when I manually ended the program. That is what got me the answer to my problem. Someone posted that sometimes malware will try to take the place of other files. I have McAfee and it didn't find anything. But I did download a free program called Spybot Search and Destroy. It did, indeed find malware on my PC and after it got rid of it, my itunes is working as it should!!!

  • ITunes apps freeze when updating

    Within the last week or so there is an issue with various apps on iTunes where I try to download the updates on my home computer, but just as it gets to "processing file" it freezes. Then I cannot even quit the iTunes program - I have to Force Quit to get out. Any suggestions?

    Go to folder "downloads" in iTunes music folder which is the temporary downloads folder for Tunes itself.
    If there is any item within (as a leftover from a former download), delete it.
    Delay gone.

    1. Quit iTunes (if not possible, then force-quit)
    2. Delete every folder under here...
         ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads (Note: The "~" character, tilde, refers to your Home folder.)
    3. Start iTunes and start your downloads again.

    The correct file path for OSX Mavericks is:
    ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads/
    In my particular case it happens when updating Apps, and stick in "processing files" steps. Once stuck it needs to be Force QUit to clear it. As to the folder location, that depends on where you havelocated your iTunes data. Your preferences set to open up the iTunes folder. In my case that's, ~/Music/iTunes_xxxxxx/iTunes Media/Downloads
    The "xxxxxx"'s are a date code of the itunes data files installation.
    Regardless where it is located, this deleting of the items in the folder may solve it. Be aware that you may be asked to validate your Apple ID again and verify any age restriceted content. You can monitor the progress of the downloads by click in the little box on the top right of the itunes menu. However in my case it did NOT fix the problem. Updates downloads continue to hang. You can see where downloads create the .tmp files/folders but seem to stick on many items while completing others. No rhyme or reason to it that I can see.
    Also Pause All no longer works!

  • Video Freezes after Update to 1.1

    Video freezes after 20 seconds of play and then resumes with no audio after upgrading to 1.1.
    From what I've read, this seems to be a problem when video has been converted using a third party software. It seems at this point, the only way to remedy the situation is to downgrade to 1.0. Here's how to do it without having to restore your ipod:
    http://www.digg.com/apple/Howto_downgrade_to_older(iPod)firmware_WITHOUTrestoring
    Just as a note, I called applecare and my technician was clueless about the problem. She was telling me to send it in, but I'm fairly certain that this isn't a hardware problem, just a problem with the upgrade, as people on many other forums are reporting it. In that case, you probably won't get much help calling customer service just yet. Hopefully they'll put a fix out for it soon.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem and downgraded to the lower version. now the video works without any problem, but there seems to be another problem. when I want to eject the ipod from itunes, I get a message, that the iPod cannot be ejected because data on the iPod is currently used by an external program...
    any idea...?

  • Itunes stops working after update windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit and recently updated to itunes 12. After a few minutes itunes crashed with the "has stopped working" message. I have reinstalled, created a different user account and got rid of all other Apple programs all to no avail. I even reinstalled itunes 11 but it would not recognise my library. This is driving me mad. Seems I'm not the only one. suggestions please!!

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the windows part of the iTunes part of this forum. YOu'll stand a better chance to get an answer there than you will here.

  • Itunes lost files after update

    Hi. I have just updated iTunes for windows after being prompted to by a message box upon opening iTunes. (First time it has been opened in 2 weeks). After the update had been completed and I had restarted my computer I opened iTunes up to be shown the program with none of my files in. Scan for media. I clicked this and it went about scanning my computer for files. It took fifteen minutes or so. After this I went into m music library to see it was half complete. As far as I could tell all of my music was there but it had lost the information about the date added to the iTunes library, last played, number of plays and for some songs it had lost album information and artwork.
    In addition to this all of my playlists have also gone.
    I have not changed the files in my iTunes folder on my computer so in theory all of the information should still be there.
    Does anyone know how i can get it back into iTunes again.
