ITunes quits when I plug in my iPod Nano

Good day,
When I plug in my iPod nano, iTunes opens and starts to sync my iPod and then after about 6 secs iTunes closes unexpectedly. My iPod is no longer visible on my desktop even though it is still plug into my computer via a USB port.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and am still having the same problem.
I also tried to restore my iPod, but can't figure out how to do this without iTunes and I can't restore using iTunes because it keeps closing unexpectedly before I can complete the operation.
Any help would really be appreciated.
thank you,
Cedartable

Someone told me how to prevent my iPod from syncing when I plugged it into my iMac: go into Preferences in iTunes. Click on Devices. Tick the Prevent ipods ... from syncing automatically. Open iTunes. Plug in your ipod. Click on your iPod. Choose Restore.
I did a Restore and now my iPod is syncing just fine and iTunes is not closing unexpectedly. Yay.

Itunes quits when I plug-in my ipod

Hello,
After I did the software upgrade for itunes it quits when I plug-in my ipod. When the ipod is not connected, itunes works fine. As soon as I try to connect the ipod, itunes quits. Any suggestions?

I'm having the exact same problem. My Itunes works for about a minute and about 15-20 songs get downloaded onto my Ipod and then itunes quits unexpectedly. And just like you, all of my problems have started with the upgrade to Itunes 8.
I hope someone can help us with this problem! It's becoming really frustrating.

ITunes Hangs when I plug in my iPod Nano

I'm hoping someone can help. When I plug in my new iPod Nano, it shows up in iTunes, but iTunes hangs claiming it is Analyzing Track X of Y. It will do this for infinitely long without making any real progress. If I look under the event viewer, I get some mention of Hard Drive device failure, etc.
Any clues? Thanks.

So panick over for now, thank you very much.

Can I syncronize my iPod without loosing all its data?. How about syncronizing it to my iPhone?

Have you tried the steps listed here?

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by. A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

My PC restarts when I plug in my iPod Nano.

Hi. Can anyone please help? Sometimes when I plug in my iPod Nano my computer re-boots. It doesn't always do a clean re-boot and I have to unplug the Nano and re-set the computer a couple of times. I have seen similar problems on this forum, and no, I am not using Aluria Spyware Eliminator. I use Norton Anti-virus.
Help!

Brian, another way of looking at this is: how many devices do you have connected to the USB port (the same one)? I've found through using external storage devices that one port can handle two devices. I had four going at once one time, but the same thing happened, only two would evenually connect.
There's a limit to connections per USB port, I'm just trying to see if you have too many connectins on one port. If so, obviously, if you have other USB ports available, plug the nano into it's own port and see if that "cures" the missing nano.

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?

Turn the printer off.

Itunes freezes when I plug in my Ipod Touch - what should I do?

I know that this has been asked numerous times, but I haven't found a solution yet. The basics:
It was working fine yesterday, but when i plug in my ipod, itunes won't recognize it and it will freeze until I remove the ipod.
My 3rd gen ipod touch, when I try to access my music and videos (my photos are still there), just goes to a white screen.
After going to settings and about in my ipod, next to music and videos, it just says loading and won't do anything else.
I've reinstalled itunes and it has the latest update.
I've restarted my ipod many times.
I don't know what else to do. Everything else runs fine, the apps and internet connectivity is all great. Can someone please help me? This has been an absolutely terrible month and my ipod crashing is the icing on the cake from ****.

Itunes closes when I plug in my ipod shuffle. Any ideas what to do?

I have been using my shuffle with this computer for about 5 years now and haven't had a problem until today. Now when I plug in the shuffle using USB port itunes shuts down. It doesn't have this problem with our ipod touch. I tried a different cable but that didn't fix it.

My Itunes freezes when I plug in my ipod and wont verify or sync

My Itunes freezes every time I try to plug in my ipod classic. It wont verify my ipod so it can't sync or update it. I have to shut down and restart my computer to get it to function at all. I have had my ipod for awhile and have had no problems with it and my Iphone connects and syncs just fine. My Itunes is up dated with the latest version and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have reset my ipod multiple times. I can't even restore my ipod because it freezes so fast I cant get the restore started. Someone PLEASE HELP!!

I'd suggest you post your question on the iTunes for Windows forum. This forum is meant for getting Windows to run on a Mac.

ITunes locks when I plug in my iPod Touch

I recently transferred my iTunes library and devices from my old notebook to my new PC. It worked fine. About 3 weeks later, I found that when I plug in my iPod Touch 3rd gen that iTunes would hang up if it was open. If I don't open iTunes, I can plug in the Touch and then start iTunes and it doesn't lock up and I can sync. The same seems to happen with my iPad.
I'm at a loss as to how to go about fixing this, or even how to debug it. I'm running iTunes 10.2.1.1 and both devices have IOS 4.2.1. It might have started happening after I upgraded to 10.2.1.1. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on a quad-core machine with 8Gb of RAM.
Any suggestions? Should I start by uninstalling iTunes and re-installing?
Thanks, Gary Berg

That had a link, a couple times removed, to how to reinstall iTunes. I followed that, and it is better, but not perfect. It appears to be linked to whether or not I've checked for new podcasts since I started iTunes.
So it's not a complete fix, but helped. Frankly, I wonder if it's a bug in this version of iTunes.
