Struggling with itunes, will only open after several attempts. When I attach my ipod it starts to sync and shows step 1 of 5 but only gets so far and then stops. I left the ipod connected

It won't even let me closedown itunes, just freezes and I end up having to switch off my laptop and restart. It's only recently that it started doing this and I've just bought an ipad so I'd like to get the problem sorted as I can't sync that until I do.

Hi,
I had a similar problem, all you can do at present to rectify this is to grab your playlist or new created playlist or song from the main library or playlist and drop it into the ipod tab under devices and it will auto sync the changes or songs. Hope this helps.
There seems to be a problem with the syncing of itunes 11 (mine is 11.0.5) when you just use the normal sync method. the above should work and has worked for me when transfering a playlist straight into the ipod it automatically syncs.
Regards.
Nick

    Means they are going to mess up your iPhoto Library pictures database  so it's unreadable by older versions of iPhoto on older OS X operating systems.
    You have the choice to right click on the iPhoto Lbrary and inside is a folder called Origianls, use the Finder to Duplicate this folder, then move the OriginalsCopy out of the iPhoto Library folder and save it elsewhere.
    I dont' think Apple will every intentionally touch the originals, however it's possible they could.

  • ITunes will not open after update to 11.4

    I updated iTunes, along with the other updates I was prompted to install but now my iTunes will not open. At all. No error message or anything. Please someone help?
    Thanks.

    Hi Cchoe,
    I see that you are experiencing an issue with iTunes after an update. It sounds like this issue could be related to third-party software interactions with iTunes. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot:

  • ITunes will not open after updating

    Ever since the update to 7.1.1 iTunes will not open.
    I get a pop-up window that says iTunes has stopped working.
    I have followed Apple's instructions for Vista about uninstalling all Apple products. I have done this 8+ times and I am at a total loss. I am a webmaster and Sr. Sys. Admin for a software company, so it's not like I don't have experience with computer/software issues.
    When I look at the Windows application log. I have this error:
    Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 7.7.1.11, time stamp
    0x4890a5ee, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time
    stamp 0x4791a76d, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000254d8,
    process id 0xf44, application start time 0x01c8fb2e587a39a9.
    This started happening after I updated.
    No other issues with any other programs. Quicktime will start up and run.

    I hear you. My itunes is fubared and Apple and ALL the articles they send do NO good. I have emailed Apple many times and nothing helps.
    Whatever they changed with version 7.1 messed up itunes and you can't go back.
    I have emailed Apple asking them if I can delete my itunes directory and any references to itunes and NOT lose my 10K songs. They havent responded to that email and my guess is that it will delete it. But Im not going to risk losing my library until I know for sure !
    Im in the same boat you are, I dont want to lose my library either. APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOW !!
    anyway this is a pain in the *** but itunes(windows) will open this way
    UNTIL APPLE FIXES THIS !
    1.boot up windows
    2.right click on your START button
    3.go to C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes (my machine is a Dell with Vista)
    4.go to the itunes directory C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC INFO
    5.delete BOTH files SC info.sidb AND SC info.sibb
    6.launch itunes, it should open, mine did.
    7. if you have any purchased songs from the istore, log-in with your user name/password.
    THIS WORKED FOR ME BUT YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR ITUNES OPEN, IF YOU CLOSE IT OUT, YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THE PROCESS AGAIN. (at least I did)
    GOOD LUCK !!

    This goes on and on through different modules concerning .dll files but nowhere did is see an error code, this whole thing might be the code but I wouldnt know, the data is very very long. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as the utility cleanup but nothing works.
    Thank you for any and all help!

    Many thanks.

    With that one, the only workaround I'm aware of at the moment is to disable your BonJour Service.
    Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services and Applications"
    Open "Services"
    Right click on the BOnJour service and select "properties".
    In the General tab, change the start-up type to "disabled".
    OK out of the tab.
    Restart the PC. Does iTunes launch for you now?

  • ITunes will not open my music CDs when I place them in the DVD drive. I am using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with AV software turned off. No luck. Cannot upload my music CDs to iTunes library. Any ideas?

    Using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes, the software will not recognize my music CDs when inserted in my DVD drive. I put a CD in the drive and nothing happens. iTunes does not have a "start" button, or some menu option to tell it to begin copying music to the library, so it just sits there. When I first installed iTunes, it would open the CDs, but I would get an error message after the first track started to transfer. Now, after a coupel uninstalls, disc cleanup, etc., nothing happens when I insert the CD. I am lost here and about to sell my new Ipod Classic because it is useless to me. Maybe I'm just too old to own something like this? Any (serious) suggestions would be appreciated.

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • My iTunes will not open after a re-install

    I went to the apple store b/c my computer was running my computer has been running slow. They told me to try to do a re-install after saving things on an external hard drive. I followed their advice and now iTunes now will not work. I tried to download iTunes 8, but my system requirements won't allow for it. Next, I tried to download version 7 as I know that one should work. But, once it was done downloading I had a application, with no program to open it with. I am not sure how to get it back up and running. Any ideas?

    I slept on it, and tried to open up iTunes today...for some reason the error message changed and now said I needed a newer version of Quick Time. I got the latest one, then it said I needed to upgrade the iTunes, so I did that as well (I got version 7.3.1) and then was able to get it to work.

  • Itunes will not open after upgrade

    After upgrading to the latest version of itunes and quicktime it will not open (no error message given). If i log off as administrator and log on as another user it will open. is there a fix for this?

    there's a few different things that can cause that on a PC.
    perhaps try working through the user-account-specific section of the following document first:

  • TS3540 ITunes will not open after re-install

    I followed the instructions from this article after trying to sync iTunes with iPhone5.  I finished the second set  of steps downloading http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    After restarting a couple of times, it still will not open.  The icon in the Dock has a question mark superinposed on it.
    Now what do I do?  All of this just to get message groups/email lists to be on the new phone.  Yikes!

    Well, after reading more posts and not getting any answers here, I kept fidgeting and discovered that while the Dock iTunes icon did not work, going through the App folder and then adding the icon to the Dock did work.  The iPhone5 did sync while plugged into power - not having to be directly connected to the iMac.  So far so good.  Still figuring out how to get the groups to show up.

  • My ipod will not reset after several attempts

    I recently bought a new Iphone and have successfully transferred my apps/data from my Ipod Touch (4th generation). I am now trying to "erase all content and Settings" via the settings button. All I get when the screen goes black is the apple logo. NO progress bar whatsoever. I have tried this several times even leaving the device (plugged into a power source) on all night long and still nothing. It simply will not reset. Is there something else I need to do? I have deleted all apps and anything else from the Ipod in hopes that would work but still nothing. It just locks up in the reset mode. Then when I restore it to stop the process most of the deleted apps come back. HELP!!
    P.S. There is no Apple store nearby to help me with this so I'm hoping this forum will.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes will not open after (12) update!!!!!!!

    Just updated iTunes to (12) and now it will not open. Two messages. The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll. and then iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    I've tried to uninstall and reinstall DID NOT WORK. Tried to remove the file iAdCore.dll. from iTunes in the program files and again DID NOT WORK! I have lost my entire library and now cannot even open iTunes just because I did the update. Please help.

    i had almost same issue on Windows RT 8.1
    i tried to uninstall and reintsall as apple says THOUSAND TIMES but, did not work at all !
    i sorted out myself issues they are ,
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple folder &
    C:\ProgramData\Apple &
    C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer    cannot be deleted
    thats why i recieved "Error 7 (Windows Error XXX)" even though apple says its because netframework or Corrupt download or incomplete installation of iTunes software
    so i moved undeletable folders with all subfolders to desktop and run installation of  itunes12.0.1.26
    all solved my problems of installing itunes, now i have to find a way to delete the files on the desktop .

  • Itunes will not open after upgrading to 9

    I cannot run itunes 9 on XP
    Everything worked fine untill version 9 was released. At that point I reinstalled version 8 and everything was working.
    Last week I bought an ipad and it forced me to upgrade to the latest version.
    I opened after installing but once I rebooted Itunes no longer opens.
    Itunes does not apear under applications in Windows task manager
    under processes I see:
    Itunes.exe
    Ituneshelper.exe
    Applemobiledeviceservice
    Ipodservice.exe
    If I try to open Itunes again a second copy of Itunes.exe apperes in processes.
    Itunes.9.2.0.61
    Apple application 1.3.0
    Apple mobile device support 3.1.0.62
    Apple software update 2.1.1.116
    Running microsoft xp home edition 2002 Service pack 3

    Norton security suite 4.2.0.12
    That's the one that Comcast distributes?
    If so, I'd check the firewall rules for your iTunes in the Norton suite first. (Norton generally has to update a rule for iTunes when your iTunes version is upgraded, so it's a prime time for something to go wrong with your rule for iTunes.)
    End any running iTunes.exe processes, and then check to see if you currently have an iTunes rule in the firewall.
    If you don't have an iTunes rule at all, create one allowing full access to the internet.
    If you have an iTunes rule that doesn't allow full access to the internet, edit the rule to allow access to the internet.
    If you have an iTunes rule that does allow full access to the internet, delete it and create a new rule for iTunes (allowing full access to the internet).
    Restart the PC and then try another iTunes launch. Does it launch correctly this time?
