ITunes Un-expectantly quits when iPod touch 1st generation is connected.

Okay so I think that I have tried everything possible for this but I am not sure. My iPod touch started killing iTunes on wednesday for no reason at all. I got the classic, "iTunes Un-Expectantly Quit". For the first time I thought it must have been a bug , but It keeps happening. I have reinstalled iTunes, and restored my iPod to factory settings to no avail. Is there something I am missing?

Hi There
You may be one of the few customers who has been affected by the 2.2.1 upgrade causing crashes in iTunes Problem.
I came across this article on macrumors today
After the iPhone 2.2.1 firmware update, some users found they had persistent problems with iTunes crashing with both iPhones and even iPods. Apple has issued the following email to some of the affected customers:
Dear Customer,
Recently, we uncovered an issue which was causing iTunes to unexpectedly quit when synced with an iPod or an iPhone. This issue impacted a small number of users, and we have identified your account as potentially being affected.
If you have experienced this issue, please follow these steps in order to sync your iPod or iPhone with iTunes:
1. Launch iTunes
2. Select "Deauthorize Computer" from the Store menu
3. Enter your iTunes Store Account ID and Password, then click the Deauthorize button
4. Next, choose "Authorize Computer" from the Store menu
5. Enter your iTunes Store Account ID and Password, then click the Authorize button
Once you have successfully deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, you should be able to >>sync your iPod or iPhone to iTunes.
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that you may have experienced as a result of this issue.
Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer.
iTunes Store Team
The fix has been circulating on the internet for a number of days and many readers have reported that this procedure corrects the problem. Some, however, have to take the additional step of "purchasing" a Free iTunes App after following the steps before syncing will work again.
Hope this helps
J.C

  • Help! ipod touch 1st generation cannot be recognized by iTunes

    Hi there,
    I tried to upgrade my ipod touch (1st generation) using itunes, but it failed. I forgot the error code. After that, my ipod touch cannot be recognized by iTunes any longer. Every time when I open the ipod touch, it shows the graph of a CD and an ipod touch cable, looks like this:
    Music CD
    /|\
    Cable
    Is there any way to make it recognized by iTunes? Thanks a lot.

    Thank you. That symbol appeared in my ipod touch. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it. But it does not help. Also tried the one mentioned in "Restart iPod touch" in that link, it does not work either.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    - Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Cannot connect to ITUNES store on IPOD touch 1st generation?

    I have an Apple IPOD Touch, 1st generation. I can no longer connect to the ITUNES store. IPOD is almost 4 years old. I've re-set the network settings, (not the actual IPOD itself, would prefer not to do that). I do have internet and all else works fine. IPOD is in great condition and has always been well taken care of. Any helpful hints? IPOD is out of warranty.

    Try:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Go to Settings>wifi and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8

  • HT2052 Does anyone have a solution to getting my iPod touch 1st generation to show up in iTunes without having to pay a big service fee for tech support?

    I have an iPod touch 1st generation.  Up until the last update it was recognized in iTunes and now it will not come up in iTunes at all.  Don't feel like I should have to pay $100 every times iTunes updates and there is a problem with it recognizing my iPod.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I have uninstalled iTunes half a dozen times and done everything they recommended including replacing my USB cable, nothing works. 

    It is an iTunes problem

  • Itunes 11.4 freezing when ipod touch 5 connected to windows 7 64bit

    Every time the iPod touch 5th generation is connected to ITunes in Windows 7 64 bit, the stupid iTunes freezes. The only way to unfreeze is to disconnect it. This problem has been going for a very long time. Upgrading iTunes does nothing. ITunes 11.4 does not fix the problem. There is no way to sync iPod touch with windows 7. This getting very frustrating. When is someone going to post a fix that permanently fixes this problem that has existed for a long time. Anyone got a brain that works?
    A few months ago someone posted a fix that required to disable a windows update that work for a while. Now iTunes is back to its old freezing behaviors. Fix it Apple now!..

    This is a useless reply. It does not work. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing to fix it.  Itunes always freezes when Ipod is connected. This is a problem with Windows 7 64bit and is very common problem. Itunes doesn't want to cooperate with 64bit windows. If you search the internet, lots are having the same problem. This problem has existed for 10 years. Every new version of itunes never fixes the problem. Why can't Apple and Microsoft work together to fix the issue. This is unacceptable. Apple software designers are very lazy and stupid.

    You'll have to restore your device in iTunes. Connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

  • IPod Touch 1st Generation can't download podcasts

    I have an iPod Touch 1st generation, software version 2.2.1 update indicates this is the latest version for my iPod). It has recently lost the ability to downoad podcasts through the iTunes store. I can get to the store, but when clicking on any podcast site the screen shows that it is loading the page but then the device returns to iPod home page. I can purchase and download songs from iTunes, so the problem seems to be unique to podcasts. I have also tested this on several wireless networks so it doesn't seem to be a problem unique to my home network.

    Hi. Same issue as you guys. I'm quite new to Apple products, so it has come as a surprise to me that this issue has now been dragging on for well over a week. Nearly 2. Does anyone at Apple HQ take any notice of these message boards?? If so, an official response would be most welcome.

  • My iPod touch 1st Generation won't turn, charge or appear on my computer

    I have an ipod touch 1st generation that I got about 4 years ago. I don't use it that often because I now have an iPhone but when I went to use it, I found it was dead. It won't charge, turn on or appear on my computer or itunes. I've tried recovery and DFU mode but neither work, since it won't turn on at all. I've tried charging it for almost a whole day but it won't even show me a red battery charging icon. I've tried holding the home and power buttons for several minutes while its plugged in but still nothing. My cord is fine and works with other ipod and i have the newest version of itunes.I have a windows 7 computer. I don't live near enough to an apple store to take it in for them to look at and it's no longer under warrenty and it costs $20 for a one time support session online!! Is there anything i can to fix it without spending too much money or should i just accept its dead and not recovering?

    Try the remaining iTunes of the following. I think you covered all but the last.:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch 1st generation won't play on ihome doc

    I have a 1st generation ipod touch, 32GB.  I received an iHome for Christmas last year that states it is compatible with the 1st generation ipod touch however when I put it in the cradle, it connects and disconnects over and over.  I looked and iTunes stated that there were no updates available for my ipod.  I thought the iHome was defective so I exchanged it for another one and it does the same thing.  The iHome does play with the 2nd generation iPod Nano so I don't think it is an issue with the iHome.  Anyone else have this problem and know how to remedy it?

    - What iOS is on the iPod?  The latest is 3.1.3 and yu get that here not via the iTunes update button.
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    - Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults.
