Itunes won't work when i connect my ipod

my itunes works fine, but once my ipod is connected, a popup saying theres an error and then itunes just closes. i tried reformating my ipod and it works, but once i start transfering my itunes library to my ipod the error popups again.

I am having a problem with uploading tunes to my iPod. It keeps telling me that I am using an old version, but I have uploaded iTunes ^ and restarted my computer twice ...

    Assuming you have windows, try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

  • A playlist that I update on my ipod won't update when I connect my ipod to itunes

    I have been using my Ipod Touch 3rd generation to create playlists. The playlists show up fine and play on the ipod, but when I connect the ipod to itunes, and click on the playlist, it does not reflect the changes made on the ipod. I have the ipod set to manually manage, so when I disconnect the ipod the songs are still on the ipod, but why won't they show up on itunes?
    I also deleted some tv shows off of the ipod by way of itunes, but when i disconnected the ipod, they were still listed on the ipod, although they would not play. So somehow, my itunes and ipod are not communicating with eachother. Any ideas/fixes?

    Hey BingHuo,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPod will sync but not charge while connected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • ITunes Store won't open and iTunes goes incredibly slow when i connect my iPod

    Hadn't used iTunes for a while until a few weeks ago. Updated it but now when i try to open the iTunes Store the loading bar gets less than halfway before it gives up and just goes to a blank screen with "iTunes Store" written on it. Also when i connect my iPod it shows up under devices but if i try to click on it everything just goes really slow, no matter how long i leave it it won't bring up the page showing the details of my iPod. I emailed the support people about it but they've been no help at all so far, just wondering if anyone had any advice.

    I also have the same problem except when you sync your iPod part. I also just see a blank screen on iTunes Store, even on the home page even if my connection is good. I just had this problem after I updated my Java program on my laptop (because they just released an updated version) so went updated mine. Since then, I only see a blank screen on iTunes, but when you search for a certain app for a game, it will show as normal, but when you go to the Apps tab and scroll down and click Games, it will load up but will only give you a blank screen. What's going on? Please have this fixed ASAP.

  • Itunes won't work when I double click on my desk top and it won't update.

    I'm having major problems with Itunes. As I stated in my title, I can't open Itunes on the desktop. I get this error message when I try. "This action only valid with products installed." However, it will open up when I connect my IPOD or click on something for it to play. I cannot also go to my files manually on my ipod. It will just sync them up with whatever is new.
    When I have tried to update it, or reinstall it, I get this message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." It tells me to "Click OK to try again, or alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Itunes.msi' in the box below"
    I have tried to uninstall ITUNES, but, when I do, I get the error message that I get when I try to update or install itunes.
    Can anybody help me?

    My won't either. This started with me when I installed the update. I get the message that the file itunes.msi cannot be found. I have even tried to re-install from my original disc and it still cannot find itunes.msi. I have ran the 'find' procedure and my computer cannot find the file. I don't know how to get the file since I have tried installing from the original disc.

  • ITunes 11.1 freezes when I connect my ipod Touch 5g w/ ios 7

    I recently downloaded ios 7 for my ipod touch 5g. I didn't have a problem with ios 7 as I actually kind of liked it. However, when I tried to sync my music, itunes told me that i needed to download version 11.1 because it supports ios 7. I downloaded it and hooked my ipod up. Whenever I do this, it freezes/crashes my computer afeter about 10 seconds. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Hello rise92,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes 11.1 and your iPod touch.  I found an article with steps you can take if iTunes stops responding when you connect your iPod:

  • Itunes stops working when I connect my Ipod

    I have a 120GB ipod and have had a few problems with it but just minor things that have been easy to take care of. But this afternoon, I woke my computer up from sleep mode and I had my itunes working and all was well but then when I went to connect my ipod, I got a notification from my computer saying that my itunes stopped working, it checked for a solution and didn't find one and then it closed out my itunes. I tried opening it again but the exact same thing happened within seconds of pressing the button to open itunes, my ipod hadn't even come up yet in the left hand bar. I uninstalled my itunes and reinstalled it but the same thing keeps happening. If my ipod isn't connected to my computer then my itunes works just fine but the second it connects, my itunes doesn't work anymore, please help me

    I have the same problem! Does anyone know how to help?

  • Itunes won't synch when I plug in ipod.  I have Win 8.  It worked with Win 7

    It worked when I had Win 7.  The music is in Ituned, but won't go on the Ipod touch.  I also have Ipod Nano 4 & same thing.  I thot I updated Itunes to work with Win 8, but how do I make sure?
    Thank you

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Try syncing using the manual method

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Using Time Capsule with Windows 7. Won't work when modem connected directly to Time Capsule, must be connected through another router.

    Apple Time Capsule working with Windows 7 PC will not work when modem is connected directly to the Time Capsule.  Only when a Cisco Linksystem is connnected inbetween the modem and the Time Capsule.

    Sorry but it needs much more specific info than this..
    What modem? Is it cable or adsl or some other?? Is it pure modem or broadband router included?
    Cable has specific issues different to adsl.
    If you used to use the Cisco/linksys router.. and have not reset the cable modem it will not work. Turn off the cable modem.. it must be powered down.. if battery backup drop out the battery. Remove the coax cable.. get it off. Power down everything else in the network.
    Plug in the modem to the TC wan port.
    Power up the modem.. wait 2min
    Power up the TC.. wait 2min
    Power up the clients.
    If it has worked you will now be able to open the airport utility on the windows computer and see the TC has a public ip on the WAN port. If not redo the whole thing but leave the modem off.. 15min.. 1 hour.. 1 day.. ring the cable company and ask them to reset. Usually a few minutes is enough.
    If you have a modem with combined router.. then bridge the TC. Just google search it.
    For other combos.. tell us specifics..

  • Itunes keeps shutting down when I connect my IPod Classic

    Itunes shuts down whenever I connect my IPOD classic  and sync attempts to start.  I have had this IPod for several years and I have had Windows 7 for over 6 months.  I am trying to update versions, but I get an error message with that also.I have also seen posts on Microsoft and they aren't helpful.....I have seen many posts on Itunes also regarding same issue. What is up when the company will not fix their problems with the products?

    I downloaded the 64bit system....did it like 3 times.   Finally, I found some other helpful hints.  I tried loading ITUNES in safe mode, still couldn't get it to not shutdown once I connected the IPod, I then logged into one of my other user accounts, then I was able to restore the settings, however, it removed all my songs and syned with the Itunes on that user acct (which was my nano IPod).  That was ok, because then I was able to go back to my regular account and sync and updated all my songs....just had to have my kids authorize me again on Itunes.  Think it's a racket to keep upgrading, changing things and not supporting the stuff that still works.....my classic works just fine nd holds 5,000 songs...I only have about 1500; so I have long way to go.  When my display cracked and the LCD was all messed up. I sent it to IFIXIPODS fast.com and they replaced it, quick and cheap--hats off to them!

  • Itunes 7.7 freezes when I connect my ipod

    I've wasted most of the day trying to get my itunes and ipod classic 80gb to function together. As soon as I connect my ipod to my computer, itunes freezes up. I'm using windows xp. Anyone else have this problem?

    Just found this on another thread. I think I'll give it a try.
    "I was able to fix this problem on my computer. First, I have Windows Vista, doubt it will make much of a difference though. It seems that the problem is with your playlist. I have read problems people are having and what seems to happen with most people is that after a certain matter of time their iTunes will begin responding again. That time also seems to be dependent on how many songs are in your library. Basically what I did was I backed up my playlist file (c:\users\YourUser\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl, remember that is in Vista.) Then I deleted the playlist in that folder. I then opened iTunes and created a new playlist. After that my iPod would sync normally without delay. If you backed up your playlist (Export playlist in iTunes) you should be able to just import it back into iTunes by importing the iTunes Music Library.xml wherever you backed up your playlist to. I haven't tried that though. Best of luck and reply if that works for you please."
