ITunes Repairer Freezing

my iPod nano is being read by my pc but not by iTunes. I followed the instructions and I am trying to repair it instead of uninstalling and it is frozen on "Publishing product information" please help.

I am a bit confused. Are you having troubles installing iTunes? Do You get an error message at all? This may help:

Also, Disable ALL antivirus and spyware programs because many times they interfere with the download and install of iTunes, thinking its a malicious program trying to download.
Post back if you have problems and/or questions.

Tried the un-install and getting the same problem although it takes a bit longer before it crashes this time. Checked the problem report and it looks the same as the previous reports.

My itunes account freezes up

When I plug in my ipod (classic), my itunes account freezes up. I cannot listen to songs & it doesn't sync new music. As soon as I unplug my ipod, everything works just fine. I never had this issue before, but am thinking it has something to do with my device, not my account. It is an older model (5+ years) ipod classic. It works just fine on it's own still though. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?

I am experiencing the same problem. When I plug my ipod into my laptop it freezes, music will keep playing but I cannot click on anything. When I unplug my ipod i can use itunes again. I have tried restarting, repairing, reinstalling,and disabling automatic syncing to my computer but no changes. It works fine on my old laptop. If anyone one knows anything please help.

ITunes Store freeze while downloading and now permanent problems

I bought an album through the iTunes Store today, and while downloading, iTunes completely froze. Not sure how that freeze was caused, could be that I was using up a little too many system resources with other stuff running in the background.
In any case, the album was only partially downloaded, so when I restarted iTunes I used the "search for available downloads" option to succesfully download the rest of the album, or so I thought. Turns out it did download all songss except for one, and that one doesn't show up anymore when I retry the "available downloads" option.
Strangely, whenever I now select one of the other songs from the same album in my library, iTunes completely freezes! I can only get it working again by stopping the process through taskmanager and restarting. This only occurs when the Genius-bar is shown, so it looks like looking up these songs through the iTunes store is causing a problem somehow. Does anyone have any ideas to
a) get the missing song from the store and
b) keep iTunes from crashing??
Is there a way to deinstall and reinstall iTunes without losing my settings, iPhone backups and library? Or can I repair an installed version somehow?
(I have the most recent iTunes version (8.0.1.11), running on WinXP SP3 - oh and it did synch the incomplete album to my iPhone and I can play the songs without problems on that)

Deleting the album, reinstalling iTunes and then re-downloading the album turned out to be the way to fix it.

Itunes keeps freezing when trying to download podcasts

Ok before when i had 6.0 or something like that i was able to download 80 podcasts no problem now i ever since i updated to 7.0 my itunes would freeze everytime i download a podcast and since im subscribe to my podcasts itunes downloads them automatically. I have xp btw. Everytime i download a new software its the same problem, i tried to repair it reinstall it uninstalled it then installed it again, and i get the same thing. The only way itunes will work is if i turn off the internet which i prefer not to do because it might not turn off again. I tried to minimize the amount of podcasts that i download but it freezes anytime it wants. What is going on and how do i fix it?!

I'm having a similar problem. I purchased a brand new HP Pavilion Media Center last week and installed the latest iTunes (7.3.2.6). Basic functionality was fine until I started setting up all my podcasts. If I subscribe to them too fast (ie - click subscribe on 6-10 of them within 10-15 seconds), the whole UI completely locks up and I have to hard boot the computer. Last night I was just updating/downloading a couple subscriptions while reading email and the whole computer locked up again. Very frustrating when it's a new computer!

Have you tried using "Disk Utility" to repair your disk permissions? You may want to contact AppleCare for assistance on this one, sounds like it may be something else then just iTunes.

My itunes been freezing up quite a bit lately. what could be the general cause?

My itunes been freezing up (rainbow pin wheel) quite a bit lately. What could be causing this?

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Or If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.

ITunes almost freezes new MBP i7 15. What can I do?

Hi,
I have a 3 month old MBP 15, latest (thunderbolt) generation with basic specs. I also have iPhone 4 that was synced in the past with previous computer and iTunes on it.
The current machine, from the very first sync that I did is experiencing problems with ITunes. The problem is that every time iTunes starts (e.g. after the iPhone is plugged in or even manually) the whole computer slows down extremely. By 'extremely' I mean you have to wait for 15 seconds to see results of the clicks you make displayed on the screen. The whole machine ans system becomes unusable. It also seems to have something to do with network. I noticed sometimes that when the wi-fi was off it seemed to prevent iTunes from freeze...
I have the iTunes updated, also the iPhone is running latest iOS and I have repaired permissions with Onyx. What else can I do?
Let me also add that at the very beginning of using this computer I also experienced this bug where iPhoto was refusing to see the iPhone and I had to delete the folder called 'iPod Photo Cache'. Currently iPhoto works fine but, as explained above, iTunes is unusable.
From time to time (every 10th time or so) it seems that iTunes launches correct. But is lasts only for couple of minutes before it almost freezes as explained above.
Any advice is much appreciated!!! I'm quite desperate already...

I've now replicated this problem on another account so it's not a matter of account but it seems related to iTunes itself...

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

I have not been able to use iTunes for several months. Every time I open iTunes, it freezes by computer such that there is about a minutes between each action. I am running iTunes 11 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and have a computer with maxed out memory.

How can I reformat my ipod 20gb when itunes/laptop freezes

Hi there
Last year my ipod did exactly the same thing but I was talked through how to solve the issue by a guy in support. Now they want to charge me £25 for their help, even though I was out of warranty last year!
This is what's happening. My ipod has started to show the folder icon with an exclamation mark. It's a bit sporadic (sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn't) and will then show the menu selection. When I choose to play an album, it thinks about it for a while, makes a lot of clicking noises and then may play, or may exit back out to the main menu.
When I try to connect my ipod to itunes, it freezes itunes, so I am unable to reformat (this is what fixed it last time). How, therefore, do I reformat my ipod when itunes, or windows explorer etc freezes when the ipod is connected to my laptop? I don't believe this is a Vista issue as I was using Windows XP last time my ipod cocked up. Any ideas how I can get my ipod reformatted?
Thanks in advance.
Lucy

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My iphone 4 is telling me I have to restore but when I plug in and connect to itunes, it freezes about 30-50 % through the process. Now I can't use my phone at all? I am waiting about 1-3 hours for this process to finish and nothing ever happens. HELP!!

Put it into DFU mode - hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the screen goes black (ignoring the slide to turn off slider). When the screen goes black release the sleep/wake button but hold the home button. Continue holding the home button for 10 seconds, then release it. The screen should stay black. Plug it into iTunes and it should come up with this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. It must be restored before use", that's when it is successfully in DFU mode. Now press the restore button in iTunes and it should run smoothly :)

My itunes is freezing up each time i open it and giving me an error message

All of a sudden my Itunes is freezing up about 30 seconds after it opens. I am running windows XP and I keep getting a "itunes needs to shut down" message asking if i want to send a report to Microsoft or not. Has anyone had problems like this, where one day Itunes just stopped working with no other change to the computer?

It is fully inserted.. it has not work for about 2 years. When the SD card reader is inserted it opens up and I begin to download. I get an error message saying the device was eject improperly.
