ITunes quits unexpectedly when trying to sync my iPod classic

I have been trying to sync my iPod with iTunes and I keep getting the message "The application iTunes quit unexpectedly". I can relaunch, report or ignore. If I relaunch, it just quits again. I recently purchased an iPhone and I have been syncing it and have not synced the iPod since I got the iPhone. Now when I try, I get this message. I can sync the iPhone with no problem but as soon as I plug in the iPod, iTunes quits.
I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, to no avail. I am not sure what else to do. I would restore the iPod, but iTunes quits before I can. I do not want to lose my entire music library so I don't want to do anything drastic. I also want to be able to sync my iPod.
Does anyone know what I can do? Also, I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8. Should I update?

I don't really have anything else running and it works when I sync my iPhone, so I doubt it is the RAM. My computer is less than a year old, so I don't think it is that either. It is like it doesn't 'like' the iPod since I got the iPhone. I know that sounds crazy, but it worked fine prior to getting the iPhone, but now, since I have the iPhone, it doesn't want to 'play' with the iPod.

  • ITunes freeze's when trying to sync my iPod nano (1st gen).

    Hello.
    I can't update my iPod, because iTunes freeze's when i try so. I can't restore my iPod, because no button names that is appearing. I can't update it either, so donøt know what to do. I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it didn't help.
    I've been thinking about, reinstalling iTunes, but what will happen with all the music then? I've used tons of hours on getting it on my computer, so don't want it to get lost. What will happen with the music if i reinstall?
    Thanks in advance, 0eyvind

    The music files should stay right where they are, in the music folder.
    Reinstalling iTunes will change stuff in the c:Program Files folder.
    That being said, it's always a good idea to have backups in case something goes wrong. You do have backups, right?
    Also - before every itunes upgrade, you chould also back up the library ITL file which holds all your playcounts, ratings, etc.
    I back mine up on a USB stick, or you could just put it in another folder on your hard drive.

  • Error -50 & -69 When trying to sync music Ipod Classic 160gb

    Hi everybody,
    I recently installed an x64 version of Windows 7 Ultimate. I have an Ipod Classic 160gb (late 2009), and i am trying to sync it to my itunes library. However, everytime i do so, it will copy across a few songs (a different number everytime, no more than 500 though) my Itunes freezes up (as well as the ipod). After a while, once it "comes back to life" i get either "Itunes cannot copy {Song Name} to {Ipod Name} Ipod. An unknown Error Occurred (-50)." or "Itunes cannot copy {Song Name} to {Ipod Name} Ipod. An unknown Error Occurred (-69)".
    Here is what i have tried:
    Enable Disc Use - No Luck
    Uninstall / Reinstall Itunes + Rebuild of Library - No Luck
    Uninstall Itunes, reinstall + Rebuild Library on Previous version (9.2) of Itunes - No Luck
    Kill APSDaemon.exe While synching - No Luck
    KIll all other Apple Services + Processes - No Luck
    Uninstall Antivirus - No Luck
    Reformat Ipod - No Luck
    Create a Virtual x32 environment of Windows 7, and recreate my library using the latest Itunes - No Luck
    Virtualize a Mac environment, and try on there - MAC OSX doesn't allow virtualization on a Windows "Base" (what a piece of ****) - SO, no luck
    Media Monkey Transfer - freezes up like a dead body, then just crashes.
    Manually transfer - Work sometimes, doesn't work otherimes. Seems to be Random.
    I know you are all going to say "oh, the song it get stuck on is corrupt". Well, it isn't. The song plays fine in Itunes if i go to investigate. When i go to my music "source" it is an actuall file, with an actual file size. I can also play it with VLC media player as well.
    Sync with my Dad's IMAC - Success. My Dad has 5.5gb of music (more than 500 songs). Although Ipod did get seem to get stuck on a couple of songs, it succesfully sync'ed
    Use Sharepod - Success (although, i have 2940 folders, and sharepod will only allow me to transfer one folder at a time) - So, No Luck
    I know the Ipod is fine because if i Sync via MAC or Sharepod, it will play music fine.Also, before the installation of the x64, it sync'd fine. It would be silly that an Ipod dies because i change my Windows Installation.
    Another thing, while in the act of Synching, the IPOD screen displays "Synchronising", then, it will just go to "Connected". On the MAC it stayed as "Synchronising" the entire time.
    Basically, i am at my wits end. I have tried everything i can think of.  I now have a very expensive paper weight, which is ******** me to tears.
    If anybody has any solutions, or ideas, i would love to hear them.
    Thanks,
    Lachlan

    You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also  done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
    You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
    In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
    Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other  USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
    Have a nice day!

  • I keep getting different errors when trying to sync my Ipod Classic.

    I get the following: Unknown error -50, a duplicate file name has been specified, unknown error 1342, the ipod could not be located, the ipod is corrupt. I have bought a few new cds and wanted to sync them, but it won't let me do anything. I have restored it several times. I have also deleted and reinstalled Itunes twice.  Please help. It has been 5 days and I need my music.

    I seemed to have figured it out...... I hard reset my Iphone and rebooted my computer and it seemed to work. It also seemed there was a music file that was not being recognized, I just erased it and everything worked fine after that.... very strange but I am so glad I figured it out.....

  • Why does idisc quit unexpectedly when trying to burn a disk?

    Why does idisc quit unexpectedly when trying to burn a disk?

    Since iDisk is an online service for keeping your data and has nothing to do with burning CDs or DVDs, you must be thinking of something else. What application are you using to burn? the Finder? iTunes? iDVD? Toast? Or something else?
    Is there an error message that appears when this occurs?
    Let us know, we'll keep working with you.

  • Iphoto keeps quitting unexpectedly when trying to share photos on Facebook.

    iphoto keeps quitting unexpectedly when trying to share photos on Facebook.This only started a short while ago. I never used to have issues posting pictures before. Moreover, it also tells me there are issues with my library and prompts a "repair" of my iphoto library. This is scary - I have tons of pics and I'm not ready to lose any of them! I did change cameras a month ago, but it is the same make as I had before - a Canon powershot SX150 IS. Could it have anything to do with it? Could it be the fact that I keep so many pictures in iphoto (10,000 +)?

    How to backup? You should be doing regular backups - if you are not you will lose all of yoru files and photos sooner or later
    If you are not ready to lose all of your photos then you need to pruchase an external hard drive and start backing up immdeiately - for simplicity I recoommend a Time Capsule and Time Machine - but any backup is better than none - I do two daily
    For this simply make a temporary copy of your iPhoto library
    Will it fix the FB problem - hopefully

  • TS3694 I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed  and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

    I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed  and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.

    Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
