ITunes quits when I refresh podcasts with iPod touch connected

If I click the "refresh podcast" button in iTunes (version 11.3.1.2) while my iPod touch (32G capacity currently with 4.5G available; still running iOS 5.1.1) is connected, iTunes quits. If the iPod is not connected, the refresh runs just fine; any available podcasts are downloaded. I'm running iTunes on Windows 7 with all the latest security updates.This issue first occurred August 16, 2014.

  • Downloaded podcast with ipod touch 2g showing like video

    Hello.
    I have ipod touch 2g. When i download audio podcast with ipod touch its showing like it is video podcast. After connecting ipod touch with PC all ok showing like audio podcast. What could be wrong? Sorry if i posted in wrong place.
    Thanks

    I already have the Radio Tiesto episode 110 on my Touch (2G), it does not show as video and when I started it running, it played as audio only, as I expect. So why yours should show as video, I've no idea. Episode 80 of the "State of Trance" is no longer showing up in iTunes, so I'm currently downloading ep81, which looks as though it is an audio file. I'll post again if I discover it's not. I already have ep77, but that's on my Classic. However, in iTunes it shows as audio.
    So, I've no idea why this should be, although as you noted, it only happens when you download directly onto the Touch. Perhaps you need to report a bug via feedback, sorry, I can't find the page to link to at the moment.
    The best workaround for now would be to subscribe in iTunes, let iTunes download them when you are there (but you can set iTunes to automatically download when you are away) and then Sync episodes.

  • 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 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.

  • ITunes updated and no longer syncs with iPod Touch 4th gen

    On January 26, 2014, I updated my iTunes software.  After doing so, my iPod Touch 4th gen no longer syncs with or is recognized by iTunes.  Reinstalling iTunes has not worked.  I suspect that this is a problem created by the iTunes update.

  • ITunes quitting when I try to update iPod

    Hi! First post here ever. Been a Mac user for about 4 years.
    I own an 5th Gen iPod Video of 30 GB. I'm getting around iTunes 7 and even though there are things I'm still getting used to; this is close to freaking me out.
    I installed iTunes 7.0.1. When I connect the iPod, iTunes asks me if I want to download the new software available for my iPod. When I say to download and install and it connects me to the iPod update server, the screen says that iTunes is downloading the new software. Right then iTunes quits. I tried to just download the software, it quit. Then tried to cancel, and it also quitted. I didn't get any "iTunes quit unexpectedly" pop up window.
    Nothing happens. Basically, I can't use iTunes when the iPod is connected and I can't get the new software for my iPod. On top of that, the iPod is not on the desktop.
    I think my immediate response will be to return to the iTunes version that came with my iPod. But I'd like to get around this problem, so please, any help would be much appreciated.

  • ITunes will not sync podcasts with iPod touch

    I've tried just about everything I know and consulted the internet, but I cannot get iTunes to sync my podcasts with my iPod Touch. It will sync my music, but it simply will not sync any of my podcasts. It must be something simple, but I've exhausted my knowledge on this issue. It worked fine on my desktop, but when I tried to move it over to my laptop, it just wouldn't work, no matter what I try. Call me an idiot or whatever you need to do if this is something stupid, but please, help me get my podcasts back!

    There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

  • 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,

    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 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 ****.

  • Sync podcasts with iPod touch 4gen

    my iPod touch 4gen will no longer sync podcasts without the podcast app. app store says it requires iOS7 to get podcast app. iPod update says it has the latest iOS, 6.1.6. i have tried to manually update, keeps saying i have the latest. any suggestions? a workaround the still get new podcasts? thanks!

    You should be able to download the app by:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • ITunes crashes when viewing purchased songs on iPod Touch 4g, ios 6.1.3

    Hi.  I purchased some songs in iTunes, then purchased a new iPod Touch 4g.  On it, I opened the iTunes app to attempt to download my song I purchased.  I went to purchased > songs > all, and then it opened an almost empty screen.  It remained open for 30-60s, and then the app crashed.  I cannot use iTunes on a computer.  Can someone help, please?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Having issues with IPod Touch connecting

    I have the IPod touch and I just got the WRT110 wireless router, but everytime I try to connect the touch it says unable to join network. Does anyone know how to fix?

    How do I find what my WEP is, and where do I put that into the Ipod Touch - when it asks for the password?

  • ITunes quits when I try to update iPod software

    I have the latest version of iTunes (7.6.2) and a fifth-generation iPod with software version 1.2.3. Every time I connect the iPod, iTunes asks me if I want to update it to 1.3. If I choose yes, it says "Extracting software..." and then just quits, as soon as the progress bar fills up. I've tried deleting the iPod software updates folder; that just makes it download the update, extract the software, then quit. I've tried restoring the iPod - whether I attempt with its current software or the new software, it does the same thing. "Extracting software..." then iTunes dies.

  • Why does the new Itunes freeze/do nothing when i click on my Ipod touch icon ?

    Why does the new Itunes freeze when i click on my Ipod touch icon to manage my content? All buttones, video, tv, info, music, they all do nothing. i was only able to sync by bringing up the old sidebar. Is this a software glitch, or am i missing a step? I just spent two days reorganizing and labeling all my music for the new itunes, and had to restore my ipod so i could upload my new library. i know what is supposed to come up when you click on the music or info tabs, but nothing happens, only the eject button works. whats going on?

    The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer with iTunes with the USB connector.  iTunes should open and give you instructions as to what to do.  Whatyou need to need to do is to restore the iPod via iTunes.
