Since I updated iTunes locks up when I try to sync.

I have an old 5th Gen iPod classic and made the mistake of updating iTunes. Now when I try to sync iTunes
totally freezes...I can't even end task it and have to cut power to close it. It is obviously a problem with the iTunes
software since the ipod still plays fine. I just can't load any more music on it and Apple ***** for support. Last time
I buy one of these. Anyways, does anyone know where to get older iTunes Software?

Hi,
The only way to gat an older copy of iTunes is through a third party site. Try to Google some. Hope this helps.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

My Nano locks up when I try to sync it. My touch, and IPAD sync great

my Nano locks up when I try to sync it. My touch, and IPAD sync great. I have reset my nano and no better??

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.

Since upgrading to Aperture 3.3, when I try to sync photos to my iPhone, I'm getting all versions in a stack loading onto my phone, which makes for some ugly pics, as well as taking up nearly double the space.

Since upgrading to Aperture 3.3, when I try to sync photos to my iPhone, I'm getting all versions in a stack loading onto my phone, which makes for some ugly pics, as well as taking up nearly double the space.

Could it be the problem lies with iTunes and not Aperture? iTunes 10.6.3 was released on the same day as Aperture 3.3 -- June 11.
If someone has a configuration to test an older version of Aperture with iTunes 10.6.3 to see if the problem exists, that could be helpful.

My iphone / mac no longer recognize they are the same Itunes library. When I try to sync my phone now, it wants to erase everything and replace it with the computers itunes library. I have purchased items on the phone I don't want to erase

My iphone / mac no longer recognize they are the same Itunes library. When I try to sync my phone now, it wants to erase everything and replace it with the computers itunes library. I have purchased items on the phone I don't want to erase them from the phone. The phone backs up fine, but won't sync.

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

If your phone is jailbroken, we can't help you, as already stated.
If you're new to this and you're trying to download apps to put on your phone and it is NOT jailbroken, you can't do that.
You must go through the iTunes app store.

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.

ITunes error message when I try to sync

The ipod -Name- is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?
This error message shows up on my computer when I try to sync. I do have iTunes on my laptop and on my desktop. Could this be the problem? I already backed up my iPod. But what I'm worried about is all my pictures on my ipod if I restore my iPod will they all be deleted? See, all I really want to do is take some cds I bought and put their music on my iPod. What do you think I should do?

You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library. If you sync the iPod to another library, such as another computer, iTunes will erase the iPod.
Just continue to sync with the other computer.

My new ios 7 in my iphone 4 will not let me download music from my apple computer. It says it doesn't have updated itunes. But when I try to get updated itunes, my computer will not support it. WHY

My new update on my ipone 4, will not download music from my Mac computer. It says I must update my itunes, when I try to up date on the Mac, it says it has already downloaded the lastest version. How do I get music on my phone

Check the required specs for the latest version of iTunes and iOS. What kind of Mac computer do you have and what OS does it have on it. Also, what kind of processor do you have, Intel?

So, I installed itunes on windows xp, but system locks up when I try to sync ipod classic

I recently installed Itunes on a computer with windows xp. At first it recognized my Iphone 4s and Ipod classic 160 g. Went through the standard procedure for registering both products and everything seemed fine. Then I started importing my cd collection with the intention of syncing them to my ipod classic.
I should mention that my previous computer crashed with my original Itunes account(that went with my ipod classic). I didn't know how to recover it so I just started over. When I tried to sync it with my cd collection everything locked up. Itunes and my computer froze up to the point where i had to do a "hard shut off". Although, it still accepts my iphone with no problem. How do I sync both on the same itunes account?

The problem is likely iTunes 10.5, which has loads of sync problems with the iPod Classic. If you look on this forum, you'll see lots of users like you with similar problems. Normally, I'd advise you to read this summary post of mine and consider downgrading to 10.4. But you want to sync both an iPhone and your classic, and you need 10.5.x if you want to use the iCloud features. So I'm not sure what to advise, other than to use the correct USB ports and possibly to disable realtime virus scanning during your sync efforts.

ITunes Locks up when I try to play a video

I have purchased a few TV shows from the iTMS. Historically they have worked fine. I rented a movie a couple of days ago. I went to watch it and iTunes locked up after playing about 2 seconds of audio.
I have done the following trying to fix the problem but so far nothing has worked:
1) I upgraded iTunes/Quicktime... as indeed there was an update available - Tried to play video again... it locked up... and had to terminate program.
2) I deauthorized all computers... and the problem computer... and then reauthorized the problem computer - Tried to play video again... and it locked up the computer
3) Playing all video content I've purchased/rented locks up iTunes.
So, I'd like to get this fixed. I have "23 hours" left to watch the movie I rented... but I can't watch it.

Did you get a suitable answer? I am having the exact same problem. I have been using iTunes for years and suddenly I began having this problem. I noticed it first with videos but it also happens with music. A movie will play for about 4-5 sec and then lock up. The spinning time thing comes on. If I wait long enough, it will finally go away and the movie will play, although often with jerks. I removed and reinstalled iTunes. That did not help. Then I removed everything from iTunes and built a new library. That did not help either. I can play any of these same files from Quicktime without a hitch. In fact, that is what I do now to play a movie. I use iTunes to find a movie, then use the Command-R to show it in the finder, then load it in Quicktime. So it is not the files or the hard drive. It is iTunes.

Since I updated iTunes locks up when I try to sync.
