iTunes stops responding when I plug in my iPod. I have updated iTunes to latest version, still crashes. OS is Vista. How do I fix this?

Hm... Strange.
I had reset the iPhone.
I tried disabling the auto-launch of iPhoto, and...
...when I plugged iPhone in, it started to freeze iTunes, but after a minute or so, the iPhone started synching. I found this odd because I had disabled auto-sync (I press Sync in iTunes when I want to have it Sync).
Now, of course, I do want auto-launch of iPhoto back on, since I like it for when I attach my digital cameras. I hope that when I set it back, it won't re-introduce the problem.
The restart I did may have helped. I resist restarting because my wife's account is often open and she frequently leaves unsaved files up, so it is a pain to respectfully close out her work and then restart.

ITunes not responding when I plug in my iPod

Hey all, I need some help. Recently when I plug my iPod into my PC to update my iPod with the new music that I have loaded into iTunes, as soon as I do iTunes stops working and when I checked in my windows task manager under appplications/status it says iTunes is not responding. when my iPod is not plugged in, iTunes works fine. I can't get past this. Yes I did load the updated software, it didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Todd

This is also happening to me updated latest version of Itunes. Itunes works fine but doesn't show the ipod when I attach. Tried most of the hints on the web site but nothing is working. Plugged the ipod into my base station and hey presto it works fine. I have also tried top re load the ipod software on the lap top but this isn't working either it asks for the ipod to be plugged in when it is plugged in it doesn't see it. Yet in windows explorer you can see the ipod is connected. Any idea's anyone. Shall i try to install version 6.0.0 of itunes instead of the latest version ?

Itunes Stops Responding When Any Divice is Plugged In

I have itunes 10.5 the newest one, when I regularly open it everything is ok and works normal. Once I plug in any device such as the itouch 3g, itouch 4g, or the first ipad itunes stops responding. I plug one of the devices in and for a few seconds it looks like itunes will work, but after that the not respondong icon (spinning wheel) shows up. I have quit and reopened itunes many times unplugged the device ran itunes and plugged it back in as well as deleating and reinstalling itunes but I still get the same problem.

i have the exact same problem except i have re installed itunes and it is unresponsive (with the ipod touch in) i have re-installed it again and it still dosn't respond with the ipod touch plugged in
this cannot be a memory issue with my laptop as it is barely a month old
please help

I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically come up so I can log in, how do I fix this?

I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically open to my library or where I can access the itunes store. What do I do now?

Open iTunes and connect your iPod. Select your iPod in iTunes from the Source list. (I'm assuming this still works, although you didn't indicate if it did or didn't.) Make sure the box is checked to Open iTunes when this device is connected. You should be all set!

I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

I have updated to the latest version of iTunes (11.2.2.3). However, when I connect my iPod it shows in My Computer and iTunes opens automatically when the iPod is connected but the device doesn't show in iTunes. Any ideas?

ITunes stops responding when iPod is connected to the computer

This weekend I switched from Windows Vista to Windows 7 with a custom installation of Windows 7 to completely replace Vista (I did not do the upgrade that lays 7 on top of the Vista installation, and I did completely remove the windows.old folder that is left on the hard drive after the installation of 7 is complete). Until tonight, I have had no problems with reinstalling all of the software I need.
When I first installed iTunes, everything seemed to be working fine. I had no trouble importing my songs from the backup I had made before changing the OS. However, as soon as I plugged in my iPod, iTunes froze and stopped responding. I had to shut it down through the Task Manager, and had to use Windows Explorer to eject the iPod so I could disconnect it (I could not restart iTunes with the iPod connected). Now when I plug in the iPod, Windows 7 tells me I should scan the "drive" because it did not shut down properly.
I tried several times to get iTunes and the iPod to sync, but the same thing occurred each time. Finally I did a complete uninstall of iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour, and a few other Apple products, rebooted, and reinstalled iTunes to try again. The same thing happened again, except this time I cannot even shut iTunes down using the Task Manager. I am sure that iTunes works with Windows 7, so there must be something on my end that is causing the problem. If anyone has any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate it.

What happens when you try?
Can you sync music?
Have you synced apps from this computer/iTunes library before? You an only sync app from the one syncing computer you can have.
Are the apps compatible with your model iPod/iOS
Do you have restrictions set that would prevent installation of those apps?

ITunes stops responding when switching between stores

Since the update to 10.5.3.3, I have been experiencing a long wait-time to switch between different nations' iTunes Stores that was not evident in the previous version. Multiple times this morning, iTunes has simply stopped responding as the switch occurs. I was just shutting down the program before, but I let it sit there and it took around 5 minutes to go from one country's store to another, when it took only moments before this update. I do not know if this is only an issue because I recently updated and have not restarted, if it is only affecting Windows users, or if it is a bug that needs to be fixed. What is going on and what should fix things?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime.
I have set Norton Personal Firewall to allow all access for Itunes and Quicktime
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes.
Basically, if I do anything, Itunes stops responding. Can anyone help?

ITunes stops responding when sign in on laptop, but not on iPod touch. It tries to start downloads and then freezes???

I bought an album from the store in iTunes, and it froze, every time i now open iTunes it works fine, untill i sign in to my account, at which point the 'wheel of doom' appears, and iTunes stops responding. However i can (and have) access my store account from my ipod touch, and have downloaded the material, but this has not cleared the downloads through for my laptop, and the same problem occurrs every time i sign in.
Any help would be much appreciated, i have checked my connection and firewall settings, and made sure that all the software is up to date too ???

There are so many things to try other than the 5 Rs. If you would have kept reading or looked at the other link, you might find something that helps.
And the 5 Rs aren't really "drastic"...
Since your iPod is showing up in Windows, this article specifically addresses the problem you are experiencing...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
And no 5Rs! (I posted that link before, but you may not have looked at it)
You may also want to try restarting your computer.

ITunes shuts down when I plug in my iPod

I've used my iPod without a problem since Christmas. For the past week, when I plug in my iPod, iTunes shuts down due to an unnamed error.
I have reinstalled all my USB drivers, removed all of my Apple software twice and reinstalled it twice (once with the guidance of an Apple tech via phone). The Apple tech guy sent me to the Apple store to replace my iPod, which I did. But none of that has fixed the problem.
So now, I'm left with an empty iPod that can't sync with my library because iTunes keeps shutting down when I plug in the iPod. The people at the Apple store said they couldn't help me further because I have a PC. The people at Microsoft won't take any responsibility because iTunes is an Apple product. So, I'm left with a $200 iPod that is suddenly for some unexplained reason, shutting down iTunes. So now, both the iPod and iTunes are worthless.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I'm a singer and depend upon my iPod for rehearsal, so I need it fixed ASAP. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry I wasn't very clear the first time. Changing the Drive Letter is done through Disk Management in Windows. I suggested you open the itunes preferences in hopes that you would then be able to connect your ipod without it crashing.
To change the drive letter:
Since we know this trick works
First open itunes, then select Edit-Preferences and leave this open.
Then, follow the steps [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493]
I use Q, R and T for my ipods so the computer doesn't confuse it with other removable devices.
