My Itunes keeps freezing when I try to sync it HELP!

After the new update my itunes keeps freezing everytime I connect my Ipod it will get through half of the syncing and then it freezes!!!!
So I closed it down and restart it it will freeze again. All I wanted to do was added new music onto my Ipod it when pear shaped!! I mained to reset it and I got all the music that I had purchased re-downloaded but that's only 42 songs! ALSO when any music does get on there the Ipod wouldn't let it play and the thingy sign has a cloudy colour to it!!!

    Hello,
    Everytime I try to rearrange my music or take music on or off my Ipod Nano my Itunes freezes up and I am unable to sync my new music to my Ipod. What is going on? I have uninstalled and reinstalled I have reverted my Ipod back to factory settings and yet it still freezes when I try to add or take music off the Ipod. What other suggestions should I do?

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Itunes/ipod freeze when i try to sync my ipod

    yesterday i downloaded the most recent version of itunes. i successfully synced my ipod the first time. but now when i try to sync my ipod, itunes freezes up and eventually quits sync-ing.
    i've restored my ipod twice, but it hasn't helped -- each time i trying to sync the ipod, it will begin the process, but freeze after 7-30 songs of 2200.
    and now i just tried to scroll through my ipod songs to see how many were actually there, and it froze up.
    please help. thanks.

    I'm having an similar problem after updating to iTunes 7.1.1.5, Windows XP. I'm using a 3rd Gen 40G iPod. I have reinstalled iTunes several times and restored the iPod so that all data in it has been erased. When I try to synch the iPod to iTunes, first of all it copies very slowly, and then, it will fail after about seven or eight songs and I get the error message that the synch failed due to an unknown cause (error -124). I am able to eject the iPod and iTunes appears to work correctly. I've tried this several times and the same error keeps occurring.

  • My iTunes keeps freezing whe I try to sync it with my ipad

    On my first attempt at synching my iPad with iTunes - after upgrading to iO5 - my iTunes freezes and continues to freeze on each attempt at synching. It works just fine alone and when I sync my iPod. Additionally, many of my subscribed apps on my iPad will not open though I can access the apps that came with the unit such as Mail, iPhoto, etc. Is this a common problem? 
    My familiarity and apptitude with computers is moderate (on a good day) and therefore the problem manifesting and the solution may be obvious to most though unfortunately not me. Thank you in advance for your expertise and help.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if the problem has been resolved.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • My iTunes keeps freezing whenever I try to sync my music to my iPod. Any ideas why?

    I tried restoring it a coupe times and it doesnt work. The last time I did it I opted to not restore from my back-up and set up my iPod as a new one. This time I was able to sync more songs but had the same thing. It froze at song 185.

  • TV Show Not Tranferring From iTunes to iPod When I Try To Sync-Please Help!

    Hi, I am sure there is a simple answer to this but I am new to iTunes/iPod so I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong despite scanning thru iTunes help and forum topics. So, I purchased an episode of Big Love (I know, like you care), and I have tried multiple times to sync my iPod (3rd gen) but I cannot get the show to appear on my iPod. I have tried both the automatice and manual sync options to no avail. When I hit sync, iTunes says it is syncing but stops after a couple of seconds. If you can help me out I would greatly appreciate it!!

    The first of the video capable iPods was the fifth generation 30 GB model that came out in 2005.
    The last generation Nano (aka fat Nano), 3rd Gen, was also video capable but that doesn't appear to be what you're referring to.
    In case you do have the right iPod but are just confused about which generation try the following :
    If you bought the HD version iTunes also downloaded the SD, standard version, as well and that's what you sync to the iPod. Right click on the show and scan down the menu till you get to 'Version'. Click on it and select SD.

  • My mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?

    my mac keeps freezing when i try and print anything from preview. any ideas as to what the issue is or how to fix it?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Fixed the problem!
    I tried to redownload itunes
    delete plist
    use time machine to get an old version of itunes
    no luck
    I called support
    they had me redownload itunes. And before I started itunes they had me drag itunes off the dock, then drag itunes from the applications folder onto the dock and presto no more crashes!
    Apparently the Mac will still use the old files unless you drag the icon off of the dock! She said a part of the upgrade must have been corrupted during download the first time
