Hello Briannat1995,
It sounds like your iTunes application is becoming unresponsive when you plug your iPod Classic into your computer. I recommend trying the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • My iPod 160GB classic keeps freezing during play.

    My iPod 160GB classic keeps freezing during play.  Have restored it via itunes and now it won't sync completely.   Is there a way of running a defrag or reformatting the ipod?

    Yes, I think so.

  • IPod Classic keeps freezing...what do I do?

    My iPod Classic keeps freezing. It still plays music, but then the screen freezes and won't let me command the device until the backlight switches off. I noticed it's got a bit worse since I bought 'Bush' iPod speakers to play my music out loud through my iPod. What do I do? It's getting annoying.

    Hi Candyfornia,
    I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem...

  • I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 11" that keeps freezing every time I use it

    Hi Everyone
    I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 11" that keeps freezing every time I use it
    It's running a i7 2ghz with 8gb ram And OS X 10.8.4
    I have had the Air around 11 months and the last week is the first time it has ever frozen , now it will do it after about 15 min use
    It seems a little warmer than usual and it will freeze no matter what is running , or just idle .
    And just to add , no google chrome installed 

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.

  • My ipod classic keeps freezing my computer

    everytime i plug it into my computer it freezes it, does anyone know what could be causing this?

    So does my 160GB classic. iTunes won't recognise it either. Am at a loss to know what to do as I haven't been able to get any music on it or anything. All suggestions gratefully received.

  • My 7th generation 160 g iPod classic keeps freezing, I've only had it for 3 months?

    This iPod was ordered brand new 3 months ago, however it keeps freezing and locking up when I try to scroll through menus or switch songs. I would really like this problem to be fixed. How do I go about this?

    Try the Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    Do  the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted by tt2,
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17776595#17776595
    If you have high numbers on the first 5 items, better bring back to Apple Store for a replacement.

  • Mac keeps freezing every 15minutes even when re-installing of OS

    I tend to have this issue after I've updated my latest OS to 10.4.11... My mac has the tendency to freeze every 15-20minutes... After checking my hardware realising that it's still in good working condition, I downloaded main menu to do a clean up... It has more or less fix the problem but it comes back after I updated my Safari browser...
    Unknowingly what's the underlying cause, I decided to re-install the OS... The more frustrating thing is that it hangs even when I re-installed the OS, approximately about 15 minutes before the entire set-up is done... I've no choice but to restart my mac.. But not it seems I can't really boot it as it even hangs during start up...
    Really at wit's ends... Can anyone help??
    Thanks

    Hi S.U,
    No problem at all.. But really thanks for your advice which I think it might be the case...
    My mac is the very first G4 batch and it's about coming to 5 years old... My harddisk crashed 2 years back and had sent it for a replacement from a 30GB to a current 120GB HD... I do face initial software problems after the fix and I got it back again and the technician install my mac with his Tiger installation disc instead on what's my initial package comes with... It worked fine subsequently for the next 2 years till recently, especially I've not been using my mac for months, the hanging issue came... Frustrating as it is, I had thought it's due to the upgrading of the OS and security measures that's too taxing for my current hardware... But now since you mentioned about the additional hardware problem that any hardware software can't detect, I'd think it stands a pretty high chance since I had once had my harddisk replaced and my mac being too old and wear and tear could be a problem...
    I had managed to do an Erase and Install the OS last night despite after several hanging sessions during the reinstallation program... I've updated my OS to the latest 10.4.11 with security added... Right now my mac appears to look fine after operating for several hours of software updating, reinstalling of all my other applications as well as moving my back-up files back to the system... I hope after all these, the hanging issue won't persists though I have this feel that it might not be fully resolve and my sister is saying that I should get a new mac with extra huge space RAM and processor to suit an extra huge consumer like me...
    Well, for now I just have to KIV and I hope this current mac of mine can stay on till I get a new mac...
    But anyway, thanks for your advice, will look into it seriously if the hanging issues come back again...

  • Help!! My Ipod keeps freezing every 5-10 songs it plays

    So my ipod keeps freezing every5-10 songs it plays. It tends to do this the most when it is on shuffle...Need help finding a soultion or the reason for this...is it the software or the Ipod itself...Thanks for your time

    I think as your iPod is still under warranty you should get it serviced, or at least take it to an Apple store if one is nearby.

  • DreamWeaver CC keeps freezing every 30 seconds

    I'm using DreamWeaver CC on a pretty new computer (1 week old). Up until tonight, everything has been working well. Then, suddenly, DreamWeaver began freezing every 30 to 60 seconds. It will freeze, mouse still works and other programs still run smooth, but DreamWeaver will halt whatever text I'm in the middle of typing. Sometimes the text cursor will disappear. Sometimes the title bar will say "Nor Responding", and sometimes the Windows blue spinning ball will appear whenever DreamWeaver is in focus.
    The computer has two SATA3 SSD hard drives (Windows 7 Ultimate and DreamWeaver CC installed to one drive and the files I'm working on exist on the other SSD). The computer has Intel i7 3.5GHz with 32GB RAM. I have task manager running while using DreamWeaver, the CPU usage never goes above 10% and the RAM usage is never above 4GB, so there are clearly tons of resources still available. Only have about 10 tabs open in DreamWeaver.
    Again, have been using DreamWeaver just fine for a week, this problem just started around 9pm Pacific Time on Saturday, November 1, 2014. Is there an update that CC would've automatically downloaded which is buggy? Anyone else having these issues?
    It is unbearable to work like this, as every couple words I type, the program freezes for about 15 to 20 seconds and then comes back to life. No other program that I'm using does this, so it's not a computer issue. The issue is isolated within DreamWeaver CC.
    Working with local files only, not over internet or network.
    Please help - having a hard time using this program. By the way, using the trial version - so far, not convinced that I should pay for a subscription based software that prevents me from getting work done.

    No new programs installed, those aren't the issue.
    I found the problem. Posting solution for anyone who may experience the same issue.
    Timed this out, and the duration between freezes varied and seemed to be based more on the input rather than time (anywhere from 40 seconds to a couple minutes). The duration of the freeze was always exactly 20 seconds, when the blue mouse icon would spin, input would not be accepted in DW and the program would fade to white.
    I then noticed that only one file was having the issue. I thought maybe it was a corrupt file, so I tried copying it over to a new file, that didn't fix it.
    Then I found the solution:
    In my script tags and stylesheet tags, the url was "//urlhere.com" instead of "https:// urlhere.com"  (added space so that it wasn't automatically recognized on this forum as a URL.) Once I specified the protocol in front of "//", it fixed it. Although I don't fully know the reason, I'm guessing that without the protocol specified, DW is seeking these files locally and freezing when it can't locate it.

  • My Satellite A300 keeps freezing every 5-10 mintues

    Hey guys,
    I bought a Satellite A300 a little less than two years ago, and two days ago it started freezing every 5-10 minutes.  When it freezes, ctrl+alt+del does not do anything.  I have to shut down the computer by holding down the power button.  I managed to run a scan with AVG and there are no viruses on my computer.  Occasionally when I boot up my computer a Disk Check runs.  I'm not sure what to do, any help would be appriciated!
    Thanks!

    Hangs do not point to hardware.
    1. Try to identify a situation or pattern that exists at the time.
    2. If you only need to wait five minutes, we could try some experiments. What happens, for instance, when you boot into Safe Mode (the first option on the menu)?
       A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XP
    3. If you can manage to capture the computer-clock time of a hang, we could try to look it up in Event Viewer.

  • My sing keeps freezing and skipping to totally seperate song! why?

    i bought a song recently and it stops in the middle and it either goes to the next song or two songs ahead. It works on my siblings ipod's and we use the same computer is there a reason for this and how do i fix it?

    I had this problem with my old 20GB classic ipod, it all started when I began using my ipod for my running trainings, every day it used to get worse freezing every 10 minutos or so, then I got ****** and bought a new 80GB classic Ipod, I have it for about 3 weeks now and guess what? It started freezing or skiping songs also. I did a test where I synced the same library on my both ipod and the songs being skipped on my new one wasnt being skipped on the old one, so its a problem with the song, then I though it could be any damage in the ipod HD but my new ipod has no reason to be damaged, the only impact that it might have recived is from my running trainings, but the impacts are really weak. Other test I did was trying to remove the song being skiped from the ipod, everytime I did that my ipod couldnt be ejcted, it kept showing me the following message "The ipod canot be ejcted because it contains files that are used by another aplication." I had to unplug my ipod without ejecting it.

    Go to HD > Library > StartuItems
    Remove this:  ChmodBPF
    Restart your Mac.

    Remove Google Drive.  (iTunes Helper should not be a problem)
    Restart your Mac.

  • PSE 10 Keeps freezing EVERY TIME I try to open it.

    I have a less than 3 year old MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.3.  I purchased elements 10 NEW in october 2012.
    EVERY TIME I try to open elements 10  Editor, it freezes before I can do anything. I have looked in other discussions. Tried to restart from another thread I tried the following...
    "Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    For related post for Twain please see this:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2954743#2954743
    Thanks,
    Garry"
    1 - I have to force quit
    2 - Held down for MORE than 5 minutes. All I got was the spinning beachball. Back to #1
    3 - Don't have anti-virus
    4 -0 There is no "twain" plug-in
    I have also uninstalled and re-installed elements 10. That didn't work either.
    Now what????

    For anyone else who stumbles upon this thread....
    Took the computer to Apple Genius Bar. They found the problem. In the Applications folder>Utilities>Activity Monitor, open and select System Memory at the bottom. Sort by %CPU. Find the icons showing at the left of the list. The ones at the top take the most memory. If whatever you are working on works way too slowly, you may find something above it (or bouncing around-up and down-on the list that is causing the problem (Mail and FireFox in my case). Quit those applications and things should speed up or, in my case, not freeze.

  • My ipod classic keeps freezing when I plug it in, why?

    I have an ipod classic that I bought off of Amazon about month ago. When I first plugged it into my computer to put songs on it, it worked fine, but now whenever I plug it into my laptop it freezes. I have to let it die everytime and this is becoming ridiculous. I even tried closing out all other open windows on my computer so that iTunes is the only thing that's open and it still freezes. I am severely ****** off and I feel like I've wasted $250 dollars. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

  • Pages keep freezing every 10 seconds until cursor is moved.

    This has been going on for a few days now. Every 10 seconds or so the pages freeze, either loading a page or watching videos.
    I've tried:
    - Turn off hardware acceleration
    - Reinstalled flash
    - Reset Firefox
    - Clear cookies and cache
    - Restart in safe mode and troubleshoot plugins (Disabled all plugins)
    - Reinstall Firefox.
    After trying all these solutions, problem still persists. I'd really rather not switch to Chrome, so you can someone help me fix this?

    hey, firefox won't automatically update to a beta version, you'd have to download it separately from mozilla.org/beta and install it on top of your current firefox. firefox 26 beta 4 is already available...
