My iTunes freezes every time I plug my iPod in to update it.

Everytime that I plug in my iPod to update it, iTunes freezes and nothing is transferred onto my iPod. But as soon as I unplug my iPod from the computer, iTunes immediately unfreezes and goes back to normal. What's going on?

Did you get your ipod working? I am having the same issue. Keeps telling me I need to format but it does not work.
Thanks

I Just upgraded to the lastest iTunes version, why does my iTunes freeze every time I connect my iPod but yet it still plays music?

I've never had this problem before but since I've updated my iTunes, it freezes as soon as my iPod gets connected. Ever more strange, the music plays in the background but yet iTunes is frozen. Any help?

It appears that my iTunes is recignizing my iPod as an iPhone for some reason...could that be the problem?

Does your iTunes see your nano?
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
If so, then follow through this:
How to reset iPod
Restoring iPod to factory settings
If not, do one or more of the following
Restart your computer
Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes [Windows XP] [Windows Vista & 7]
Reset iPod (will NOT delete everything)
Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if it shows
Restore iPod (WILL delete everything)
Make sure iTunes and iOS firmware is up to date.
Hope all this helps.

My iPod playlists are deleted every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro.

Every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro, my iPod playlists are deleted. I have all the sync features turned off on both the iPod and computer. What is happening? I hate having to remake my "Workout" playlist everytime I plug in!

Correct. All sync features are turned off and if is 'manually manage' somewhere, I have checked the box to do so. So basically everything is set for me to manage manually, yet my iPod playlists are still being deleted.

Itunes crashes every time I connect my Ipod..

I had my Ipod connected while running a software update 1-2 weeks ago. Shortly after the update completed, my computer gave me "A computer must be restarted" mesage, and promptly shut down all the programs I was using and rebooted. Currently, not only does Safari refuse to operate, my Itunes crashes every time I connect my Ipod, preventing me from altering information or transferring songs. I've done everything but 'restore'-- I'm afraid that if I reset my Ipod, I'll lose the songs I already have.

Repair Permissions in Disk Utility.
Update to 10.4.4.
Repair Permissions in Disk Utility.
Try it now.
Start up with another user account and see if it does the same.

Okay, so every time I plug my iPod Touch into my laptop it always imports my videos

Okay, so every time I plug my iPod Touch (4G) into my laptop it always imports my videos & photos. I don't want my videos and photos saved onto others files on my laptop so how do I stop this from automatically happening when I plug in my iPod?
Thanks! Laura,

There should be a pane in your photo program that can control what your iPhone does when plugged in.

ITunes freezes every time I sync!

I'm trying to sync my new iPhone 4, but every time I plug it in, iTunes freezes and stops responding. It always freezes in the beginning of Step 2 of 6 (backing up). I don't know what to do and can't sync my phone! I'm using a PC, by the way. How can I fix this?

Get a mac...
Okay, I looked around a bit, and apple dosen't seem to have a solution. Here is a different article on the subject. Hope this helps.

ITunes freezes every time I click on "movies"

I was hoping that 8.1.1 was going to fix my issue, but iTunes still freezes every time I try to watch a movie. I click on "movies" in the Library list, the thumbnails of my movies come up, and then it freezes (spinning pinwheel, Activity Monitor shows all read, and I am forced to "Force Quit").
I have experienced this since the last version of iTunes. I can't even drag them onto my iPod to watch them. Help please.

I was able to fix this freezing in movies issue by going to file-add to library then selecting all my movies from the movies folder inside iTunes Music folder and letting iTunes 'add them' It took some time to complete (maybe 20 minutes) but it is working well now and not freezing.

HT201210 Every time I plug my Ipod touch into itunes it tells me it cannot read it and it needs to be reset to factory settings.

Can anyone help us figure out why every time we plug 2 of our 3 ipod touch devices it tells us to reset it to factory settings. We have reset them a few times but it still tells us to do it every time we plug them in to itunes to sync them.

- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try a different USB port
- Try a another cable
- Try another computer. If this works this points to your computer. If no then it points to iPod problem

After i-tunes quits, ipod says synching and then connected...
Your iPod is a shuffle? A shuffle has no screen, so if iTunes is not running because it unexpectedly quit, where are you seeing the iPod say "syncing" and "connected." Is it a nano?
If it's a nano (or an iPod with a screen), you can disregard the question about the LED "light." What appears on the screen is good (plus the Disk Utility and System Profiler results), because your iPod appears to be recognized properly by the computer. But there may be some data corruption on the iPod's storage that is causing iTunes to crash when it tries to do the initial sync.
If you don't have a problem with erasing what is currently on the iPod (because everything is in your iTunes library you can just resync it), you can try the following. Put the iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
(This assumes your iPod is not a shuffle, because there is no Disk Mode for a shuffle.)
If you can put the iPod into Disk Mode, connect it to the Mac. I don't think iTunes will start up automatically. Then run iTunes. If iTunes says something about "recovery" and prompts you to do a Restore, do the Restore. This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. If the cause is data corruption and is not hardware-related, the problem may be resolved.

ITunes freezes every time it opens

I'm at a loss... I don't know what else to do so hopefully someone has an answer. A few weeks ago I opened iTunes to play a song, and it stopped responding. I tried to force quit, and iTunes closed, but the program said it was still open in the dock. I tried to restart my computer, but it wouldn't work. After using activity monitor, force quitting, everything I knew, I had to hard restart.
I opened iTunes again. Same problem. Had to hard restart. I heard of some issues accessing files on external drives... so, I deleted iTunes, moved my 350 gig iTunes library to a different drive, repaired permissions, redownloaded iTunes, and tried again. Same problem. I can't use iTunes. Every time I try to open it, it stops responding and the only way to restart my computer is holding down the power button.
I've been without my music for two weeks now and I'm going crazy. What else can I do??

try these user tips:
try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
and, if you have flip4mac installed
I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
From the log:
PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.

ITunes freezes every time I open after upgrading to 9.1.1

So every time I open iTunes now (after I upgraded to 9.1.1) it starts updating my iTunes library. Problem is that it gets to a certain point in the updating (maybe 5%) and then it freezes the whole computer. I've never had any problems with iTunes before, and it worked just fine with 9.1 on here before. Once the computer freezes I cant even get to the task manager I have to force shut down my computer every time. Once I restart it is perfectly fine as long as I dont try and open iTunes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling...no dice same problem.
Any ideas?

Same here. Here's what I've done so far to attempt to fix the problem:
1) re-installed iTunes Setup (probably 4 or 5 times at this point).
2) Uninstalled, Windows 7 and reverted to Vista (in the process lost my Windows activation passcode)
3) Purchased a replacement passcode for Win.7 and re-installed. I think it cost me $115 (note: I'm married and unemployed, so adjusted price in proportion to my entire income is more like $1,000 when employed at previous income level)
4) Ran several dozen different boot-up troubleshooting tips, including Windows error detection and repair and registry troubleshooting.
5) Downloaded two FREE "alternatives" to iTunes
6) Eventually upgraded both FREE services to full-activation in hopes that the extra features aquired would somehow fix the problem and allow me to sync my iPod with non-iTunes services(which was not the case).
7) re-installed anti-Virus software and scanned (nothing still)
8) installed new anti-virus software and scanned entire system again
9) Purchased new anti-virus software (nope)
10) reset iPod to default settings / wiped memory
11) Used Safari to again attempt to download iTunes with no luck.
12) Logged into another computer and tried to export/import entire library
13) Probably a few more things I can't think of.
A lot of this is probably stupid to do (I'm an amatuer, but am still more proficient with computers than most people). Regardless--Apple should fix the issue causing the problem AND notify users of progess or other strategies. I have a moderate sized library all backed up to external sources, but this won't help until something is done and I can use iTunes as a media player--or some other company releases a compatible problem.
I've probably sunk $5-10,000 over several years of loyal patronage to Apple, but am nothing short of ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGED by these circumstances.

ITunes freezes every time iPhone (2.0 software) is connected!

I just recently updated iTunes to 7.7 and then updated my original iPhone to 2.0 software. Since the update to 2.0, iTunes on my laptop (Windows Vista) keeps freezing and "not responding". iTunes appears to work okay when the phone is not connected.
I performed the diagnostics through iTunes and everything passed except the iPhone/iTunes sync test (failed). I cannot find any information on how to fix this problem. I have reinstalled iTunes several times in hopes that the problem would be fixed, but to no avail. Please help!
Note: iPhone/iTunes sync works fine on my desktop with XP Prof even after the update.
Thank you!
JulNMac
Current configuration:
Original iPhone - 2.0 update
iTunes - 7.7 update

I have the same problem. Itunes freezes whenever I plug my iPhone 3g in. I can plug the iPhone into anybody else's itunes, and it's fine, but not my one. Under diagnostics, I get a Sync error (with no details of course, thanks Apple), and Windows can see it as a camera as ususal.
Deleting the iTunes library clears it up, but it's a pain, and you have to reconstruct your library, transfer your purchases over etc. It's now frozen twice, and I'm rebuilding my library for the third time. Very frustrating. I hope Apple fixes this issue with the next Itunes update.
