My old iPod crashes iTunes 7

This is my iPod:
year: 2003
size: 15GB
s/n: JQ4140HLQQG
model: P9460LL
version: 2.3
So whats happens is I can connect fine to the iTunes and see my playlists and even can drag files from my iTunes HD library to my iPod. The problem occurs everytime i want to look at my iPod's music Library. I'll click Library and then iTunes shuts down without any messages or errors.
Please let me know if there is a fix.
Thank you for helping us poor people who can't afford to buy a new iPod.
450 MHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4)  

GET YAMIPOD
its a great 3rd party software that doesnt crash for me.
maybe apple should hire whoever made this.

    Apparently I wasn't clear.  The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives.  I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists.  How can I do this?

  • How to remove old Ipod from Itunes?

    Hi.
    Have bought a new Ipod Classic 80g as wanted more space.
    Used to have an old ipod mini 4g.
    How do I remove the association of the mini from itunes?
    Now when I buy music from istore it still thinks it is for the mini not my new classic so I have to enter my apple id again to authorise songs for the classic. It then says I have used up two of the 5 devices I'm allowed. (1 for Classic and 1 for Mini)
    So, how do I tell iTunes I no longer want to sync with the old mini?
    thanks.

  • Ipod crashes itunes

    hi there i just want to say how disapointed i am with apple mac i upgraded my itunes to 7.01 the current version and now every time i try and connect my ipod to itunes it crashes itunes is there an explaination for this or is it just apple macs programers once again not checking software throughly before they upload it on the net? i'm now without a ipod once again as it has crashed and i had to reformat it

    happened to me as well, what the issue was, was that I had codec packs installed on my computer, and the itunes installation comes with quicktime and the codec pack interferes with the quicktime installation and crashes itunes.

  • Help Ipod crashes Itunes! :confused:

    Okay heres my issue my ipod when plugged into any computer (and try delete music or put music on it crashes) it just completely freezes (and I have to do the whole process of 'Ctrl Alt Delete' end process due to the program is not responding) It happens like this,
    The Ipod works for awhile, corporates but If i try, disconnect the ipod using the Itunes feature
    I will just crash, If i try to use the safely remove hardware it just comes up with this error message (The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device later)
    If i try delete music it crashes (if i delete the music without the program crashing and then pulled out the plug without disconnecting it and now the music is on there but wont play, and if i delete it I cant safely disconnect it I have to just pull it start out and the music stays there but don't play, It comes up i itunes with the (''!'') if front if it.
    If i manage to get to the point of being able to delete the music and start putting new stuff on it just dose not disconnect, If i try use the 'safely remove hardware' Same error as above, If i try to disconnect it using itunes it just crashes the program and the ipod goes back to having the same music i tryd to delete and none of the new music, I think its my ipod because I've tryd it on several different computers
    I cant restore the Ipod back to normal and start again because that to just crashes Itunes
    The ipod seems to work fine exect the whole issue of it crashes itunes when ever you try to do anything related to my ipod

    I have the exact same problem, I think. When I disconnect my iPod using the eject feature my iPod crashes and cannot be used. I then have to put it in disc mode and restore factory settings. I have (throuhg lots of time) found that certain albums are causing the problem. Occasionally I get a message saying "iPod could not be ejected because some files are being used in another application". Not sure where or why, but by not putting this on my iPod it works fine. Im trying to find a solution to this file issue. In the mean time I can only suggest managing the music yourself and trying to find the problematic album.

  • New ipod touch 4th generation want to use instead of my old ipod in itunes

    i have my itunes all set up for my old ipod which i would like to not use anymore -- do i have to uninstall itunes and then reinstall with new ipod? is there an easy way to do this?

    Hello 23GP,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    i have my itunes all set up for my old ipod which i would like to not use anymore -- do i have to uninstall itunes and then reinstall with new ipod? is there an easy way to do this?
    No. Simply plug in the iPod, set it up to sync however you wish, and sync away. There are no additional steps to follow for adding or using a new iPod with your current iTunes library.

  • Trying to transfer purchases from iPod crashes iTunes

    My laptop was recently stolen along with my backup, so my iPod (Classic, 120 GB) is the only copy of my digital music. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes purchases from the iPod to the new computer's hard drive, but it crashes iTunes every time I try to do this.
    I transferred most of my music (around 8900/9000 tracks) using a 3rd party program, since most of my music was burned from CDs, and that managed to get most of my iTunes store purchases as well. However, the last 100 songs include several iTunes tracks. They won't transfer with either iTunes, Music Rescue, or MediaWidget.
    Anyone have any suggestions for a way of transferring my remaining files (especially the iTunes ones)?

    Since I am not having that problem, I'm not sure it will work.
    But one thing you can do is open itunes with a completely blank library. See if those purchases will transfer into a blank library. Article on making a new library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    Make sure you only press the transfer purchases or things will go VERY wrong. But I think you know that.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    DO NOT PRESS ERASE AND SYNC.
    Also - was that 3rd party program free, or something you paid for? The free ones I've tried have had some problems. If you paid for it, I would ask for support on getting those 100 lost tracks.
    Just curious, which 3rd-party ipod manager was it?

  • One of my ipods crashes itunes, other is ok!

    Okay so my problem lies with my 160GB Ipod Classic. It worked fine on the older versions of itunes and for some reason has decided to completely break after the update. I'm running windows 8 and have just got a brand new laptop, itunes has been working fine with my (older) 4GB Ipod Nano, syncs as it should etc. but as soon as I plug in my classic it tells me there's an error and I must scan and fix, I do this and it crashes itunes entirely. I cannot click on anything, I cannot shut the window or minimize it, it's just stuck on my screen. Even when trying to shut down my computer it won't do it because it cannot shut Itunes! I have to turn it off with the button and it can't properly shut down. I have tried again and again to get it working. It works alright on disk mode where i've been able to format it and also return it to factory settings using Itunes, but as soon as it starts to reboot and connect back to itunes - it crashes again! Although it only crashes itunes and leaves the rest of my computer working fine, it's very annoying to have a broken itunes window stuck on my screen so I keep restarting it (and failing!) I feel like i've tried everything, I wish I'd never tried to sync it because it was completely fine prior with songs and videos! Now it's completely empty and useless. Can anyone help me?

    You may refer to this tutorial, it's about how to fix iTunes sync problem with iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • How  do i transfer music from old ipod to itunes for new ipod

    Im not sure how I am suppose to take the 200 songs that i dont have on my itunes that is on my old ipod, and how Im suppose to transfer this music onto my itunes to get it on to my new ipod??? oh and clicking on the enable disc use isnt working so please and suggestions would be great

    Hi Jperto99
    You need to Either get 3rd party software or do it this way
    You need to be able to view hidden files on your computer , you need to go to the control panel and find folder options. (i believe that you could change the settings on in the windows explorer by clicking view at the top menu bar. you need to click it so that you can see the hidden files. (i think this explains simply what i said Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.”)
    Next find your ipod now if you have enabled hidden files you need to click on your ipod and find a folder called ipod control. the folder itself will look different maybe a bit transparent because it is hidden. Next you will go in and if you explore further you will see loads of files (transparent like ipod control) with things like F34 F01 (or F1) etc.
    They are the files with your music on it and if you click on them, they will show music files but they wont have names. they are encrypted with file names like AKLY (basically four letters or 3 letters put together in capitals) so to get the names and other suff back simply drag the music files into itunes or import them individually (the folders) into itunes by clicking file, import into itunes and by folder.
    Then once you have done this the names should be correct in Itunes.
    Alternitavely you can drag all the files in 'ipod control' into an external Hard Drive if you go into itunes prefrences you can let itunes put all your music on your computer into organized files of album names.
    Hope that Helped (if you don't understand what i said this guide is pretty good http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/P0)
    Also if your willing to spend money by doing all of this in one click then this program for £14 (not sure in $) is really good. the free version (does 5 songs at a time) but the great thing is, is that it transfers directly to itunes you can get it here http://www.findleydesigns.com/
    You can get other free 3rd party software ill try and find a list for you if you want

  • Adding old iPod to iTunes set up on new computer

    I have a new laptop with Vista. I have installed iTunes and my new iPhone is set up on this computer. I would like to move my library to the new laptop. The desktop has Windows XP and my old iPod is set up on it. I have followed the instructions to use my iPod to copy/transfer the library to the new computer, but I get lost just at the point where I am supposed to pull up the iPod on the new computer. My concern is that the new computer has not yet been connected to the old iPod. So, I don't have a listing in the new computer for the iPod - and to use to copy the files over. How do I add the iPod to the iTunes on the new computer without making a mess? Thanks so much!

    The iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  When you sync with the new computer you itunes content and pics will be erased from iphone and replaced with content from the new computer.
    Also, if the computer has no contacts or calendar entries, then those will be erased from the iphone when you sync as well.
    Copy everything ( itunes library/pice/contact/calendars/etc) from your backup copy to your computer first.
    Before you sync make sure to transfer the new itunes purchases from your iphone.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Old Ipod New Itunes

    Going through my room i found a very old Ipod Mini, and i want to see what music ihad on it, but the screen is totaly cracked and you cant see anything, when i plugg it into my comouter nothing happens, is there anything i can do? or is it a lost cause?

    Hey...
    I've got this really annoying problem I cannot solve.
    My iPod shuffle was and still is working properly,
    but I've got a new computer now and new iTunes on
    that same computer. When I connect my iPod to this
    new computer it recognizes it, but doesn't want to
    work (transfering music etc.) unless I restore my
    iPod. I tried to do that but my iPod was restoring
    for about 5 hours, and then I gave up cause obviously
    something was wrong. Can anyone tell me how can I use
    my iPod on two computers??
    Bad news... the Shuffle only syncs to one iTunes (and computer) at a time. Each time you synce it to a different one, the contents are wiped...
    And why doesn't it want to
    restore properly??
    Don't know... but you could try the Reset Utility:

  • Replace an old ipod on itunes with a new ipod

    I want to buy a new ipod. But I already have hooked up 5 different ipods to my computer which I thought was the limit. Is there a way for me to replace my old ipod with a new one?

    The 5 limit you are referring to is a limit of 5 authorized computers to play purchases. You can use as many iPods as you want.

  • Does anyone have suggestions for a legitimate file extracting program? I need to get music off my old IPod (the ITunes it's on is on an old computer that no longer works) and onto my new computer so I can download it to my new IPod.

    Thank you!

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • After itunes 6.0.2 and 1-10 updater - both ipods crash itunes when updating

    I'm annoyed.
    I upgraded my to iTunes 6.0.2 (Windows XP) and ran the 1-10 updater on two ipods - a mini and a 20GB pre-photo model (I guess that's a 3rd gen?). After doing so, iTunes crashes when updating begins. If I plug an ipod in without iTunes, everything is OK and I can see the unit and directory structure in Explorer. When the ipod is disconnected and I run iTunes, everything is fine - no problems. But when you connect an ipod, iTunes sees it, and then shows "Updating ipod", it sits like that for awhile, then I hear the hard drive in the iPod click, and a few seconds later I get:
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" etc. etc.
    I tried doing a restore of one of my ipods (the 3rd gen) to the 2005-11-17 firmware by running that updater and doing "Restore". The problem is still happening, but now my ipod is empty because I did the restore!
    Unfortunately, I can't tell what the problem is - iTunes or the 1-10 update.
    Has anyone else had any problems like this? Any ideas? Can I downgrade iTunes?
    Please help!
    Chris

    Has anyone come up with a method to resolve this issue? I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and no luck.
    One very obvious thing I can see is that 2006-1-10 update clearly bombs iTunes fast. I downgrade my firmware to 2005-11-17 and it appears to want to update. I'm attempting to update again (about the 30th time since I've had this problem a few days ago). Let's see how it goes since I've actually done this before... One thing I'm doing differently though is syncing just the podcasts, no music. It shouldn't make a difference, but maybe there's something odd in there with DRM?
    Another observation - when I connected the iPod with the My Computer window open, I saw the H: drive (my ipod) appear for a few seconds. It then disappeared from there, iTunes came up, and then reappeared. iTunes tried to sync, but then bombed out.
    I hope this helps someone..
    I can't believe that Apple hasn't responded to this issue yet. This has to be impacting more than a few hundred users on this site.
