My ipod shuffle freezes Itunes when trying to sync on my pc but it works on my sons computer?

Can someone help me, I was given a 4th gen shuffle and tried to sync music to it on my computer but when I go to sync music itunes freezes, not my computer just itunes? I have no problems with my younger sons ipod 4 8gig? When we tried to sync music from my older sons mac it worked no problem? Very strange itunes is obviously identical yet for some reason will not work on my computer? I tried all kinds of way I found in other forums but nothing has worked. I have restored the shuffle I have even unistalled itunes and re installed on my computer? Nothing is working yet my sons mac no worries? Anyone have this issue?  Apple will not assist as no warranty left so assistance cost $$. Desperate please help I love the shuffle but do not want to rely on my sons computer. Thanks.
Oh yeah I am using Windows 7

I had something similar a couple of week ago, it would scroll then stop, scroll then stop.
At some point the porblem went away.
Try unpowering and restarting your AppleTV.  Rsetart iTunes too.

    Using windows, i plug the shuffle in, it shows up in itunes, but when i try to sync anything to it, or restore it, my itunes temporarily freezes, and in like 5 minutes an error pops up saying: " The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found. "

    Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

  • 4th gen 2GB shuffle freezes iTunes when syncing

    My 4th generation, 2GB, iPod shuffle freezes my iTunes each time I try to sync. I need to open Windows Task Manager to end the program because iTune becomes unresponsive. I went to the trouble of changing the path drive letter (whatever it's called) for the shuffle. I have the latest iTunes installed.
    Is this generation of shuffle no longer compatible with the new iTunes? Is something else going on? I appreciate the support.

  • ITunes freeze's when trying to sync my iPod nano (1st gen).

    Hello.
    I can't update my iPod, because iTunes freeze's when i try so. I can't restore my iPod, because no button names that is appearing. I can't update it either, so donøt know what to do. I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it didn't help.
    I've been thinking about, reinstalling iTunes, but what will happen with all the music then? I've used tons of hours on getting it on my computer, so don't want it to get lost. What will happen with the music if i reinstall?
    Thanks in advance, 0eyvind

    The music files should stay right where they are, in the music folder.
    Reinstalling iTunes will change stuff in the c:Program Files folder.
    That being said, it's always a good idea to have backups in case something goes wrong. You do have backups, right?
    Also - before every itunes upgrade, you chould also back up the library ITL file which holds all your playcounts, ratings, etc.
    I back mine up on a USB stick, or you could just put it in another folder on your hard drive.
    Article on the ITL file:

  • Error message in Itunes when trying to sync Ipod Touch 4th gen.

    I'm trying to sync my iPod and I keep getting the message that "Itunes cannot sync apps to the ipod because the apps installed on the ipod could not be determined". It seems to be keeping the sync from finishing, so I can't access anything new I've added. It shows up on the ipod and looks like it's there in itunes, but I can't select it when I try to open it on the ipod.
    Help!

  • Missing Playlist in iTunes when trying to sync iPod nano

    I have a playlist called new tunes, it's my most recent songs added to iTunes. For some reason when I plug in my iPod nano I don't have this playlist available to sync to my iPod, it's not in the list of playlists available to sync to the iPod nano. I see all the other playlists available but not this one.
    So What I tried next is to make a second playlist that mirrors the first and this playlist doesn't show up in the iPod selection either. What gives? I would love to have this playlist available for my iPod but I don't know how to get it on there

  • 2G itouch does not show on mycomputer or in itunes when trying to sync

    Just back from vacation and itunes 9.0 available so I upgrade. Having not synced for a while i try but the PC restarts itself. Once started neither Itunes or Mycomputer sees the ipod and so cannot sync. When connecting the ipod to the PC I get a different beep noise to what you usually get when attaching an external drive through a USB port and the computer shows no sign of a drive attached. When I remove the ipod I do get the usual beep noise you get when removing an external drive from USN port.
    I have tried:
    1/uninstalling and re-installing itunes
    2/deauthorising and authorising computer in itunes
    3/different cables
    4/different USB ports on the PC
    5/powering off the itouch
    ...probably tried other things too but lost count.
    Anyone help ?

    I had a similar problem the other day when upgrading from 3.0 to to 3.1 and then then my ipod touch wouldn't even turn on.
    When connecting the ipod to the computer and holding down the ipod power and home buttons for 20 seconds the computer would beep but perform no action and itunes would not recognise the ipod.
    If you right click on the usb connections on your computer you may find the computer is not recognising the ipod correctly if so you will need to update the drivers these are located in c:/program files/common files/apple/mobile device support/drivers
    just point windows to that directory and it will load the driver usbaapl.sys
    reconnect the ipod and hold the home and power buttons again
    then once windows has identified the ipod correctly press the home button and itunes should identify your ipod which it will then reformat.
    It worked for me and after that finally loaded 3.1.1 correctly.
    good luck hope this solves it.
    let me know if it does.

  • BB for Mac freezing when trying to sync itunes to Pearl 8230

    Hi all-
    Have searched the forum to no success.  Just downloaded BB for Mac and so far so good, except for one issue.  The DM will freeze/crash when trying to sync one song or a whole playlist to my BB pearl.  I can select any playlist I want, (I've made some with various file types and sizes to see if it was a file format or size error), and still had no success.  I've ensured my media card support is on, mass storage mode is on, unencrypted,  and auto enable mass storage mode when connected is on, room on the media card, and recognized by my device.  The DM recognizes my media card, and correctly identifies the amount of free space on it, allows me to select my playlist(s) and when I click 'sync', the drop down window indicates  "the following items are being synchronized" and "music", but the progress bar and the sync circle don't move.  I've left it in this state for 4 hours to return to find out nothing has changed.  I have to force quit the DM at that point.
    My contacts and calendars sync fine, just no love when it comes to the music.
    I have a BB pearl 8230 (4.6.1.284) on the Telus network, using an iMac running snow leopard 10.6.1, running iTunes 9.01(9)
    Am I missing something?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Are you running the Mac in 64bit mode, if so that is a known issue. Work around appears to be switch Mac to 32 bit sync and then return to 64bit till next sync or BB RIM fix is out.

  • I can't see the photo tab when trying to sync my iphone from itunes

    For some reason, all the tabs are not showing on itunes when trying to sync my iphone. The 'photos' tab in particular is missing. It shows I can scroll to the right to possibly see the rest of the tabs, but when I scroll across to the right, it moves the whole page across, but nothing from itunes moves across with the page. Sorry, it's hard to explain. I hope you can help.

    Sorry, it's probably really easy to do, but I'm not sure how to change it. I have a Mac book. Can you help? It's strange that it seems to be the only tab missing, and only when I connect my iphone to sync, it doesn't happen when I sync my ipod. It's weird, and it never used to disappear. I need the photo tab back
    Sorry, and thanks to anyone that can help
