Itunes quits when i try to access ipod

I'm running an old machine with 10.4, and I bought a 2005 20 gb ipod on ebay and the ipod shows up in itunes and on the desktop, syncs up, but if I try to access it through itunes (ie if I click on a playlist) itunes immediately quits and "ejects" the ipod. I restored it but and have got all my music on it but now i can't even restore it without itunes quitting first. I just downloaded and installed the new itunes. whats up? many thanks

is "bumping" an appropriate thing to do here or is that frowned upon

  • 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 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.

  • 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 freezes when I try to access movies or tv shows

    I recently got a new laptop with windows vista. I installed itunes and dowloaded itunes 7.5, then I transferred all of my music, and vidoe files onto my new notebook. I can play music, go to the online store and make purcahses without any issue, but When I try to access my movies or tv shows itunes stops responiding and I have to use task mananger to close it. Any advice would be great thanks.

    Hmm...I've had a similar problem where only some of my TV Shows would sync. What I did to correct it was click on the TV Shows tab in iTunes and made sure that all shows where synced instead of just unwatched shows. That seemed to do the trick with my situation.

  • Itunes quits when I try to update

    My Itunes quits everytime I try to copy a song from my library to my IPod Nano.
    This did not happen prior to downloading the most recent version of itunes and updating my ipod with the latest updates.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software...essentially done everything I can think of to fix this. The same thing is also happening to my boss who has a ThinkPad and a regular IPod, 20g (i don't know what generation, but she got it for christmast 2004)...
    HELP!
    Thanks

    I had the same problem.
    Get rid of your current version of iTunes and go back to what used to work for you (most likely 6.0.1). This solved my problem.

  • 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.

  • Itunes crashes when I try to access store

    Itunes works fine, until I try to access store, when the whole program crashes. Clicking on the itunes store button causes the gray loading bar on top of the screen to progress as usual, but whole program crashes when it fully loads. The following message from windows is displayed:
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

  • ITunes quits when I try to watch downloaded TV shows

    My iTunes quits each time I try to play any episode of the TV shows I've downloaded. I've rebuilt disk permissions, restarted my computer, deleted the shows and re-downloaded them - done the basic tricks that usually solve the issues my computer is confronted with. I purchased my MacBook Pro from Apple in August 2012, and haven't had any problems of this nature until today. It's not refurbished or pre-owned. I've been able to watch these shows before, and it's only today that they suddenly force quit - and, when I scroll in iTunes, there's a distortion midway down the screen. I downloaded a software update today, and I'm wondering if that could be the cause of these issues, although it wasn't an iTunes update. I'm baffled, and since I'm currently in a small European town (sans Apple store) I'm loath to use my precious phone minutes to call Apple. I wondered whether any of you have had similar problems, or tips for procedures I ought to try.
    Thanks!

    Update: I opened iTunes in Safe mode and got this message: "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I've searched past forums and have tried to open iTunes in 32-bit mode, but it still crashes when I try to play a show.

  • 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 randomly quits when I try to access i Tunes Store

    Lately I have been having problems with iTunes where it randomly just quits every time I open the program. After totally deleting the whole program and reinstalling multiple times, I have discovered that whenever the program tries to enter iTunes store or ministore the program immediately shuts down. What is going on?? I have even opened a new account and that didnt work either.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • ITunes crashes when I try to access my device

    When I connect various devices and sync them to iTunes, the device backs up properly, but the device name comes up as "%S's iPhone" (or iPod or iPad, it happens with all my devices). When you click on the %S's iPhone button to access the details of the device, iTunes crashes. I am running iOS X 10.6.8 and have recently updated iTunes to its newest version (hence the beginning of the problem).
