New Itunes update causing Ipod crashes

Since installing 10.6, Itunes has now regularly crashed when my Ipod is plugged in, leading me to have to force quit after giving it ample time to right itself (which it never does). This of course has wiped my ipod down, even tho DiskWarrior and Disk Utility recognize the drive, tell me its ok, and has the correct number of files, etc. But whenever i try and open Itunes, it crashes, tells me my Ipod is corrupt and needs to be restored, which I do. Then it works fine for a while, but then a day or so later I will plug it in and kapoof, nothing on my ipod, itunes hangs up, and so on. Its been going on for a couple weeks now, and I have tried rolling back to Itunes 10.2 which I have on my Time Machine backup, but it makes it laborious as I have to import the text files of my playlists one at a time, and being that i have a hundred or so playlists, i just give up.
I have done all the permissions correcting, rebuilt directory on my ipod, done various wipes of the drive, and so on, and I am out of ideas. Anyone else have this problem or any solutions?

meh. i am tired of itunes. there is my solution. uninstalling it once and for all, as it is a memory hog and has always given me problems when i update it, and so forth. never had these kinds of issues with it, but i need my music and need to be able to listen to it, so that's my solution. thanks.

  • New iTunes update corrupts ipod and BSOD on win7 laptop

    I upgraded my iTunes this week. I bought some songs this morning. I then connected my ipod to transfer them. My ipod corrupted. Windows then crashed and on startup, the Blue Screen of Death then appeared. This is incredibly annoying and I regret not using amazon mp3.

  • New iTunes Update Has Made it Impossible to Load to My Ipod

    I just downloaded and installed the new update for iTunes. When I next attached my ipod to load things on to it I couldn't. I shows up on iTunes, no problem. But when I right click on things to add them to the ipod it doesn't show up under the 'Add to Playlist' category as it used to. I've found that if I select 'Autofil' that will put music onto the ipod, but I have no control over what order they are in. Any rearranging of the order after they load won't take. Also, none of my Audio Books from Audible.com will load onto it at all.
    I tried restarting the system, restoring my ipod to factory settings, uninstalling iTunes and then installing it again. I even downloaded and used the Ipod Reset Utility. Nothing works. So, all I can have is random music but none of the Audio Books which were my REASON for getting an ipod in the first place.
    Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and what I should do about it?
    Thanks,
    Georgia

    I'm having a lot of problems with the new iTunes update. I only use the Shuffle for podcasts, while exercising. With the new iTunes, I cannot even load podcast on the Shuffle.
    The Autofill features never worked for podcasts, even before the recent update, but at least it was a convenient way to clear my Shuffle. I was able to highlight podcasts, then add them to the Shuffle manually.
    Now, the Shuffle does not even show up as an option, just as Georgia Millet described.
    Is there a way to roll back iTunes to the older version, until this can be fixed???? This is extremely frustrating.
    I may just switch to a different software, if these problems continue...

    The same way you have done in every version of iTunes.

  • Computer slow and not responding since installation of new iTunes update

    Good Morning,
    I downloaded the new iTunes update two days ago.  As soon as I did it my computer was freezing up and none of my programs would respond.  I uninstalled it as my computer was working fine.  I did the update again and the same thing happened.  So this time I uninstalled iTunes only, not Quick Time and my computer is fine.  Is there anyway I can get a link to download the previous version?  I can not do a system restore because my compute does not have one for some reason.  I have tried that.
    Also my computer's CPU usage runs normally at anywhere from 4% to 12%, both times after I did the update, it was running at 100% all the time.  I could not shut it off or close any programs.
    Does anybody have any ideas?
    Thank you for your time.

    Many thanks Matt - when I spoke to my son last night he did say the anti-virus programme might be the cause, so he told me how to re-install the old Thunderbird version which worked, and to tick the option which says 'allow me to choose whether to install new versions'. So far so good! Very grateful for your help - thanks.

  • New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

    Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
    - Sam Amos

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • New iTunes update won't recognize my computer

    I just uploaded the new iTunes update for my pc and when I go to play a song I get a message saying that this computer is not authorized to play my iTunes songs.  So I enter my password to "authorize" this computer and a message comes up saying that the computer IS ALREADY authorized.  But it still wont let me play my songs.  I even tried to deauthorize this computer and re authorize it and I still get the same message.  Can't seem to find a button that will allow my undo the last update.

    Nevermind.
    Had to delete the purchased song. Sync my ipod with my computer. redownload the song and BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. I can listen to the song through my pc and dont have to keep reauthorizing my computer

  • Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync

    Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
    The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
    This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.

  • HT1349 new itunes update won't allow me to drag and drop a playlist

    Hi
    I've downloaded the new iTunes update but I can't seem to do a drag and drop with playlists from my PC/mac onto my external Apple devices (2x iPads, iPod and my iPhone)
    Is this lost functionality or a new "feature"
    I don't want iCloud and Home Sharing doesn't work for me...
    Any ideas....?
    I can include songs onto a device but only one at a time wheras I need to drag the whole playlist...

    No, I haven't had any solution to this problem. None of the myriad of possible solutions work. Doesn't someone from Apple monitor these boards? I've given up in getting it fixed and am seriously ****** at the lack of response on Apple's part without me paying for an answer. This is a ridiculous way to support software, where I have to troll around a discussion board hoping someone stumbled upon a solution and will actually reply to this thread.
    Considering the amount of Apple products that I own, you'd think I could get a freakin' response. Here's are the amount of apple products in my house, all bought within the past 3 years-
    Mac Pro Quad Core
    15" MacBook Pro
    13" Macbook Air
    3 Mac Minis
    Three iPad's
    2 iPhone 4's
    2 iPod Touch's
    But because it's on my Mac Pro, which is 1 1/2 years old, I can't get an answer to this! ***.
