ITunes unresponsive when starting up with iPod touch plugged in.

Whenever I start up my iTunes with my iPod plugged in, iTunes is unresponsive for a few minutes. However if I start it up without it plugged in, it works fine. I've also noticed that if I start up the program with my iPod plugged in, then unplug it, iTunes will start responding. I have done a fresh install before some time back and it worked fine after, but now it's acting up again. Is there any ideas on how to solve this?

I forgot to mention, whenever it does sync, it just gets stuck staying "verrifying ipod".
Try having that topped off with freezing.

iTunes 11: Show Sidebar and Status Bar

ITunes won't sync music with iPod Touch (5th Gen) After 7.0.3 Update.

Hello,
I am just wondering has any solutions as to what might be the problem.
I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch and up until I updated it to the latest version of iOS 7.0.3 and iTunes 11.1.2.31 everything had been working fine.
Now since that update no new music will sync to my iPod. Applications, Photos and Movies work ok. I buy my music off the iTunes store. If I download an app for instance on my iPod the next time I go to iTunes it starts to download into the libary with no problem.
My computer recognises my iPod and then starts the sync process at the very end it says "Copying diagnostic information" then onto "Waiting for changes to be applied" that last step lasts for about a minute.
I can download tracks and albums onto my iTunes library onto my Windows 7 PC but when applying it onto my iPod nothing gets applied.
So, my question is has anyone found out that Apple is aware of the problem and are they going to fix it with another software update or is there anything that I can do that will resolve this problem.
I have tries de-authorizing my computer and then authrorizing it again to sync content onto my iPod.
The only way for now to get new content onto my iPod is to download directly to my iPod my using "Purchased" in iTunes store.
Thanks for your reponces in advance!
Best,
OrlaG

This is what I am experiencing. The top image is a playlist I made on the ipod. The second image in when I go to "On This iPod" > Purchased > Music
Could it be the iPod. All the other tracks work perfectly. Saturday was when this started

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

My itunes freezes when i connect my ipod touch?

I have had my 4th gen. 8GB iPod Touch for about 8 months now. It has worked perfectly, up until now. When i plug my iPod in, iTunes finds it( after about 30 seconds) and it just shows the little icon showing that it's syncing, or loading. It keeps doing that, and when I click on it nothing happens. I cannot access my iPod at all and i tried reseting it but that didn't help. It just deleted all my music so now im screwed. I have updated iTunes to the latest, as well as my ipod to iOS 5.1.1. I have reset my computer, reinstalled iTunes, but nothing helps. If anyone has experianced this, I need help. Thanks.

Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and connecting to your computer and restoring via iTunes.

Itunes freezes when trying to sync Ipod Touch

Hi,
I have just installed the lastest version of itunes (11.2.2.3) after having issues with installing I finally cracked it with help fromn the support forum.
I am now trying to sync my Ipod touch and everytime i try and sync itunes locks up and have to end task in windows task manager.
any ideas on how the fix this?? im running windows 8.1 and have had no issues syncing till instlling the new update.
any suggestions greatly recived.
Cheers

Yes.
The same thing has happened to me. After the hideous update they did a couple of months ago I didn't think they would mess things up like this again. And why, I, as a costumer have to go to all the trouble to create another account to see if the problems persist? If they weren't there in the first time, why should I struggle to fix it? It's APPLE's product and it should respond to the costumer's needs. I guess the best solution is not to install the upcoming updates.

ITunes freezes when trying to upgrade iPod touch software

I just purchased the iPod upgrade software, the iPhone 2.2 software upgrade. As iTunes is backing up my iPod touch, it freezes before it can finish the job. This has happened 3 times now, and I am still unable to update my iPod version.

Sorry. I just needed to restart my MacBook.

New computer with iPod Touch

I recently bought a new Gateway laptop with windows 7, and I installed iTunes. When I connected my iPod Touch(which has many songs), iTunes only displayed about 30 songs. I want to keep the songs from my iPod on there, without having to re-import from all my CDs. Is there any way that I can sync my songs back with iTunes? I have used programs such as "Pod to PC" to try to do this, however it had a limit of 100 songs. Any programs like this that are unlimited and FREE would be appreciated.
Any questions you have ask me, this may be a confusing question.

I used a program called DiskAid and it fixed it.

Playcount does not sync to iTunes when I sync my iPod Touch

I never had this problem before... When I sync my iPod Touch to iTunes, the playcount does not update anymore. I have no idea if there is an incorrect setting, or if this is just a software update issue, but I really enjoy the playcount. Does anyone know of a fix?

ITunes U not compatible with iPod touch 4th and 5th generation.

I attempted to subscribe to the course, Moons An Introduction. When opening one of the course books, I get an error message stating I need an iPad to read the book. There is nothing about the course being incompatible with iPod touch. Why can't incompatibility information be included in the course description? What a waste of my time. Please don't advise me to open the book on my computer. I don't want to read a book on my computer. That's why I got an iPod. I'm thinking about getting an iPad, but as soon as I purchase one, it will be outdated. Isn't this a ploy by apple to get people to buy iPads? How many iTunes U courses are like this? The most important book of the course is incompatible.
Thanks,
Brenda Woollard

Thank you, lllaass. Of course, an apple user remarks to this fact in their review. Are all courses going to have reviews attached? Why do I have to read reviews on courses to get this information? Who is writing the review? It's not an apple official. How reliable is information in reviews? I've read reviews that have incorrect information. Why not put the fact that a course is incompatible with iPod right in the course description. It would save a lot of time and wasted bandwidth. Why was the book allowed to be downloaded onto an unsupported device?
