Problems managing ipod with itunes

I can no longer exchange music from my ipod or my music server with itunes. I used to be able to. Now itunes just freezes up: task manager says "not responding" and I have to shut down.

Hello bertoydvm,
It sounds like your iTunes application is becoming unresponsive when it tries accessing the library on your server. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you out there, named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I send the ipod to local assistence and they say that it's all ok.
I've this ipod by two weeks and I've restore the ipod like 30 times...
Any solutions?
Thanks

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
So, are you repeatedly being asked to restore your iPod by iTunes similar to that described in this Apple support document?
[iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1456?viewlocale=en_US]
If the same message keeps appearing, you may have to reassign your iPod's drive letter. You can find instructions on how to do this in this Apple support document.

Having problem syncing iPod with iTune

I have never come across this problem before but I have the 80GB iPod and I tried to update and sync it and iTunes does not have the sync option available. It is grayed out and it asks me to "Transfer purchases from iPod". I don't have any purchases to transfer or anything and even when I do click on it nothing happens. At this point, I can't sync my iPod or add any new songs. What should I do? Any suggestions?

Hi i am having the same problem have you sorted it yet ive go inand reset the deve manager reinstalled at my wits end and i am going away tommorow with no internet for 3-6 weeks so it will probably have to wait until im home again cheers sb2432

Problem using ipod with itunes 5.0.1

Could anyone help me?? I'm having serious problems using my ipod mini with my "just downloaded" itunes 5.0.1.
it says that my comunication software with ipod is not correctly installed and that i have to reinstall itunes again. i did it the problem is always there. what can i do?? can someone help me??

Man, it seems that iTunes 5.whatever has gotten us all a little hot under the collar. I'm back up and running...this is what I did...I hope it helps some of you out.
1) created a new folder in MyMusic and copied everything from my iTunes library to the new folder. I then tested a few songs to make sure they still played (you never know)
2) I deleted iTunes using the control panel selection Add/Delete programs. I emptied the recycle gin and then did a search to see that iTunes was no longer there.
3) I went to filehippo.com to download iTunes 4.8 (my original disks are packed (Thank you to poster Allison for the filehippo.com suggestion).
4) I copied all my songs back into iTunes from where I had stored them in the new folder I created in MyMusic)
5) I connected the iPod Mini and opened iTunes and darn if it STILL didn't recognize the iPod
6) I did a restore on the iPod
7) I reconnected the iPod and had to reregister it and Voila! it worked again!!!!
Whatever the new features were in ver. 5.01, they were NOT worth the hassle I've experienced over the past two weeks. I'll stick with version 4.8 for awhile.

Problems updating iPOD with iTunes.

My library has 4800 songs and iTune starts the update process normally. At some point through the process, the ststus bar will say "Ok to disconnect iPod" and nothing has been transfered. I also noticed that bottom of of the screen indicated the disk space used on the ipod, mine has a "locked" icon next to it. What does this mean?

The switch at the top, flick that so your iPods not on hold. Then read the manual you got with the iPod.

HELP !!! Problem Updating IPOD with Itunes.....

just recently my ipod has been giving me this error message when i try to update the songs on my Ipod. "Some of the songs in the Itunes Music Library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer". I dont understand why, i purchased the songs from itunes and am using my computer that i purchased it on. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem, or why its doing that now. I have had my Ipod for about 2 months and all of a sudden i get this message.. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Not sure if this will help or not. In the upper right hand corner of your iTunes main window you should see your ID name. If you do not see your name there click on the button in it's place, I think it says login, and log into iTunes. (It's just above the playlist and below the browse or update button.)
You might get a message saying your computer is not authorized. Go ahead and authorize it, again if necessary, and voila! You should be in business.
(If you see your name in that button I am at a loss!)
Check too to see if you have the latest version of iTunes. Could be if you downloaded a new version something goofy happened in the install. Check your preferences too to see if something is checked that should not be.
Hope that helps a smidgen,

Problem updating iPod with iTunes

I plugged in my iPod base to the computer, then put the iPod into the cradle. When I turned on the computer and opened iTunes, it said it was "updating" without me having to tell it to do so. Now, the iPod is flashing "Do not disconnect", as if it is updating, yet nothing is happening. Music tracks within the iPod are greyed out to show no access??? Help!

Problem with album picture on iPod with iTunes 10.2.2.14

I'm using iTunes 10.2.2.14 on windows xp (service pack3) with iPod classic 80Gb.
In iTunes I have 14.000 songs. Most of them with album illustration.
In iTunes these illustrations are available.
On my iPod I can se the covers
On my iPod Classic in [music] [cover flow] view, I see the album pictures
On my iPod Classic in [music] [[Albums] view, no picture is show at all.
When playing the indivualnumber for each album,
I will NOT see the album cover for the first song in that album
However, I do see the albumcovers for the subsequent numbers.
Missing the album for the first song, I can understand the view-per-album does not show any picture
Mostlikely because it will take the album picture from the first song.
But why is is missing with (all) first songs ?
I checked Itunes; the album cover is there.
I have de-installed en installed iTunes.
I have emptied the iPod.
I have reload all the songs in iTunes.
All without result.
An so strange; the same effect for all albums.
Somebody suggestions what the cause is ?
Or how I can overcome / repair this ?

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise?

Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

Syncing iPod with iTunes fails with error (-69) appears

When syncing my iPod with iTunes an error appears saying syn has failed to "my" iPod due to unknown error (-69). Is there a solution for this problem?

Perhaps a corrupted iPod? Why not try a restore (warning: will erase and then resync everything) and see if that clears it up?

I want to register my iPod with iTunes but the registration firm keeps asking for a postcode but there is no field to enter it, although there is an arrow showing where the error is but still no field for entry. Any suggestions how to get past this ?

I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

"songs on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"

when you connect your ipod to your computer, click on your ipod in itunes and go through all the tabs, making sure that your ipod is set to automaticly sync your playlists.
see if that works

Trying to sync my iPod with iTunes and I am getting this message:"This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the ipod"... I have deauthorized and reauthorized the account and still getting the same error.

I do NOT have an SC info folder at /Users/Shared/ directory to delete.
I just installed Lion yesterday, and am running iTunes 10.4. First attempt to sync since upgrade.
Thanks

Yup,
Me too...this is stupid, stupid, stupid. Just purchased my 200 (ish) mac and now I am told that my new Mac Book pro is not "authorized".
Which if my 200 macs are authorized. Can someone please tell me???
I "deauthorized" my old MBP and still told I cannot use my iPhone with iTunes.
Interesting that my old $2500 MBP, my new $3000 MBP and my $500 iPhone all cannot work cuz of some pinhead's decision to use this assorization process.
Yes I am very, very, very mad.

I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
It is simply a list of songs in the library
Do you want the playlists or not?

I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes The app continually crashes during the picture import. AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos. The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes. I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone. I have 10Gb free. I have 6600 photoes. This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products. My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also. It does the exact same thing to it. The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process. But it will import every photo a few at a time. The error message is just that itunes has stopped working. no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time. You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is. I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities. Ultimately they were of no use. I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
it said this

basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still
