New ipod touch 8gb. Freezing itunes

I got a new 3rd gen ipod touch (8gb) just then.
I plug it in to my computer go on itunes and go through the steps. Then I reach the last point which says: set up your ipod
then it has name
automatically sync songs to my ipod
automatically sync photos to my ipod
automatically sync applications.
Then there is a done button.
When I press the done button, itunes just freezes. I have to go task manager and kill the process.
Can anyone help!?!?! How do I get past this stage!!
My system specs:
Core i5 750
Gigabyte P55-UD4P (it is a P55 board)
HD4850.
The rest probably doesn't matter but if you need it just ask.

OK, so I think I've got this problem solved, albeit it's not a very good solution.
Firstly, I uninstalled every single piece of Apple related software on my PC.
I then restored my iPod for the third time, although I don't think this will make much of a difference.
I then tried doing the Setup Your iPod screen again where you name it, and it froze. So I thought, "Hey, let's try it on my girlfriend's iTunes." I did, and it worked. I then brought it back over to my PC and it was registered properly. I then tried to sync music and no issues whatsoever, but because it wasn't originally registered to this PC, it wasn't the best solution.
So then I told iTunes to lock the iPod down to the iTunes on this PC (the one that wasn't working). It worked, but then when I tried to sync it froze up at the end of syncing, at the end of the very last song. I figured, let's try something random as a workaround: I add the songs manually to the iPod Touch but I cancel the sync at the very last song - it works! This means that it will be a bit of a pain to sync songs (I will probably have to make a few fake song files so that it will be able to sync my whole library) but this is much better than it not working at all, or having to use the iTunes program on my gf's laptop and have a second library and login there, while using files off of the network which will add to syncing time/be a hassle.
So, it's not the best solution, but it works. Please let me know how it works for you.

  • Brand new ipod Touch (8GB) does not work with DHCP

    I have a brand new iPod Touch (8GB) that will not work using DHCP. No matter what I do (reset router, reset ipod) the DHCP still doesn't work. I can manually setup an IP/Gateway/netmask/etc. and it works but I really need the DHCP to work if at all possible. I'm using a Linksys WRT54G. I was able to use an old Linksys wireless router and the touch gets an IP, etc. with no problems but I can not get my Touch to work with the WRT54G. Any ideas?

    its possible to have a bad power supply that has too much AC ripple on the output which can make the screen do weird things

  • I have just recieved a brand new ipod touch 8GB, it wont turn on and it wont either charge or recognise connection through ITunes. I have tried the hold down home and the power button together but no luck. Its absolutely dead, any ideas please ????

    I have just received a brand new IPOD Touch ,it will not turn on, i have connected it to my cmputer, it does not show that its charging and is not recognised in Itunes. I have tried the holding down the power and home buttons which also didnt work. Any Ideas Please ????

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I sync my new ipod touch with my itunes 9.2.1 itunes

    Ok I have got a mac mini running  os 10.4.11 at 1.25ghz 1 gb and have a new 4th gen ipod touch I can't sync it to my itunes 9.2.1 please tell me I can get this to work without paying any more out!!!

    Thanks Jim I thought I might have to upgrade software but to be honest I was looking at investing in a new Mac in the summer but wanted a cheap fix to get my thousands of tunes that i have bought from Itunes onto my new ipod touch Ironically I have a samsung Galaxy s2 I use for work which interfaces with my mac no problem... I find it very odd apple are treating there own customers in this way making me upgrade to interface with their own products!! Which after having macs for the last 20 years i am doubting my decision to carry on with my loyalty to a brand that is doing this!!
    Sorry not your problem.. thanks for the advise.

  • Brand new Ipod touch 1g freezing up

    I received a new ipod touch today because my old one had a bad ear jack. well i restored the new ipod from my old ipod back up. and every app i click on or song i play the ipod freezes up. i have restored it back to its original factory state and it still does it. I play Imob online and i can not even get passed the home screen anymore. it just freezes. This happens with other apps too. The only way i can get out of the freeze is to push and hold down the menu return button. what should i do to fix this?

    Contact Apple ASAP and see if they can organise another replacement.
    If a restore didn't work then it could indicate problems with the actual hardware, which can't be fixed by the user.

  • Can't sync new ipod touch to laptop itunes

    I'm trying to sync songs saved in itunes on my laptop to my daughter's new ipod touch.  It just hangs on Step 2 of 6.  And it seems the itunes store won't properly load either on the laptop.  I think that's part of the problem.  So I downloaded the new itunes software but that didn't fix the problem. Please help.
    Thanks.

    Probably because Apple's servers are overwhelmed on Christmas morning.

  • New ipod touch 8gb wont read on computer at all...not even in "my computer"

    i bought an ipod touch 8gb today and brought it home and downloaded itunes then plugged ipod in...says its got full battery, but on 4 computers, it wont read on any of them using every usb port there was on each computer...ipod wont even show up in "my computer"....what is wrong? i have tried the updating drivers and reinstallling drivers and reinstalling itunes and even going down to itunes 7 and 8 versions but no matter what i do my computers will not read my ipod touch...yes the usb ports do work and are minimum 2.0 and system requirements are exceeded as i have expensive computers...what is wrong

    I had the same problem when I bought my Touch 2 months ago. Here is fix I used:
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090209182107AAR4juY
    First (MAKE SURE YOUR IPOD ISNT CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER, AND ITUNES IS RUNNING!!) you have to reset it by holding your home and power button. Make sure you slide it to power off. Then as it powers on, hold the home button and connect your ipod to the computer at the same time. (DO NOT LET IT GO FOR ANY REASON) as iTunes loads it, it'll say that your iPod is going into recovery mode. Click ok, and restore it.
    It worked for me. Hope it helps...
