Stuck on verifying iPod

When I connext my iPod touch 64GB to my pc, it takes forever to get past the verifying iPod screen, then syncs two songs and freezes my entire computer and I have to shut it down by removing the battery for the laptop. This isn't the first time this has happened, I remember going through the file folders on my pc until I got to a certain one, then I deleted it and my iPod worked perfectly. Only problem is, I don't remember the fourm or URL address of the post. And yes, the post was on apples discussion page. Any help would be great. Thanks

Leave it for 10 more minutes or so then
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod Classic Stuck In 'Verifying Ipod' Mode When Connecting To iTunes

I currently own an iPod Classic 160GB and an iPod 5th Gen 30GB. Both of them were working perfectly and synchronizing with iTunes up until i upgraded my OS system to Windows 7 from XP. I am also running iTunes 9.2
Now when i try and synch them, both say 'Verifying iPod' and then iTunes freezes after 5 minutes and i have to disconnect them and start all over again. I have not been able to update either of them with music for over 2 months.
Some blogs say to try and move you .xml file out of your library, some say change the .itl file to .itl.old and some say try changing back to a previous version of iTunes. However none of these have worked for me.
I have over 110GB of music on my computer and i'm trying to avoid wiping iTunes off my computer altogether and having to reload it all back on. I've had to do this once before and it took about 3 months as i had to double click on every single track befor itunes would load it - and thats a lot of songs to click ! Unless of course somebody out there knows a quick way of wiping iTunes off my hard drive altogether and starting all over again.......................??
Has anybody had the same problem or anyone got any solutions ??

My iPod Classic is also sticking in verify then iTunes freezes. This only happened after iTunes was updated to 9.2. According to CCleaner's registry check, two problems appear - both are missing TypeLib References; the IUserHelper and the IiPodManagerUI. I can only assume that the latest iTunes is causing the trouble because of these missing files. This led to me completely reinstalling iTunes yesterday, but all that achieved was to empty my iPod and leave me library-less. The only way around it I can see is to wait for a new iTunes update. A real pain.

Stuck Verifying Ipod, won't sync

When I connect my 3rd generation Ipod touch to my macbook pro, 9 times out of 10 it gets stuck on "verifying ipod" and does not progress to sync the ipod. about half the time this happens, Itunes stops responding and crashes out. I know this is an unanswered thread on the "syncing your ipod touch to a PC" forum, but I didn't see it here. I find it kind of ridiculous that my various apple products can't interact correctly with each other.

I actually finally got mine to work again and the secret was getting to a point where I could do a restore. My music library is fairly large, so I ended up using our laptop which had less music. I deleted all the music, so it wouldn't have to verify the library, etc. Plugged in the iPod and let it sit until it finally was recognized; took about half an hour. Did a restore and haven't had a problem since [yesterday]. But this seemed to work.

My Ipod is stuck on verifying and I cannot get it to sync.

I have an Ipod Touch 3rd gen, 32GB, and when i plug it into my computer to sync it, it freezes my iTunes and is stuck on 'Verifying "My iPod". I looked up ways to fix this and none have worked.
I've tried reseting my iPod and restarting my computer.
I've tried completely uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.
I've tried resetting the sync history.
I really don't want to completely restore my iPod because of all the songs and apps on it.
Also i tried turning off auto-sync. I clicked the button that said "Prevent iPod, iPhone, and iPads from automatically syncing". yet my iPod still automatically syncs.
I am using iTunes 10.4.1
Need help please, thank you

Ipod Stuck on "Verifying....'s iPod"

Each time I attempt to hook my iPod up to iTunes it gets stuck on "Verifying ______________'s iPod" (after a lenghthy issue listed below). I followed instructions I read in a form to uninstall all Apple related programs (ITunes, Quicktime, Bonjour etc), restarted my computer deleted iTunes folder, iPod folder etc etc et al (all of my iTunes files and music are on an external hard drive). Reinstalled iTunes, added all of my songs and files back to iTunes from the external hard drive and the same **** crap "do you want to san and fix..." "Windows can't check the drive while it is in use.." "Schedule disk check" and it sits stuck on "Verifying _________ 's iPod" until I finally get ****** off and unplug it, it then cycles through without adding anything new. I've left it on "Verifying____" over night and came back the next morning and it was still "verifying". Help!

I am getting this too. When I plug in my iPod C, iTunes freezes on "verifying iPod." It does this even if i remove the internet connection.
It was working as of two days ago the last time I got new music. Help...??
I am running it on a MacBook pro with iTunes.

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

Ipod stuck "Verifying iPod" when syncing to iTunes

I have recently purchased an iPod touch 64gb. After a few days of using it and successfully syncing it more than 6 times it froze on "Verifying Ipod" I have search everywhere and found several different forums about this issue and most of them offer the same solution, update the iTunes and iPod software, or did not posted the ultimate fix that got them going. I am now running the latest versions on both which resolved the issue. After doing that and successfully syncing a couple of times I am having the same issue again. Below are some factors that may help in identifying the issue.
**iTunes is authorized with the same ID as the iPod
**All applications that are currently on the iPod were downloaded directly to the ipod. None of them are sync'din itunes yet
**the applications are either free or free from the http://www.freeappaday.com/ site
**the iPod is NOT jailbroken
**all software and firmware is up-to-date
**the only difference to the iPod since the last successful sync was all the applications that I installed
Hope this is enough to work from. While I could "restore" the ipod I would lose all my apps that are not sync'd. Additionally the games that I download from http://www.freeappaday.com/ are only offered free for a particular day so I would have to pay for them now. Since this has happened to me twice in 3 weeks I am thinking I am either doing something wrong or there is something wrong.
Again there a several different threads out there about this issue, but none of them have a solution aside from update and/or restore.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what changed, but I have not had the issue for the last 5 syncs. I did perform some unusual steps to get to where I am. Again I am not sure what made the difference, but below are the steps that I performed for anyone else's reference.
1. Connected iPod, it again froze on Verifying Ipod and Syncing Ipod.
+Note: These messages were displayed on the information display on iTunes. You would have to click the 'Play' icon on the left side of the message to toggle to each message.+
2. I toggled to the Sync message and click on the 'X' icon on the right side of the message. This stopped all syncing/verifying.
3. I clicked the 'Sync' button on the bottom right of the iPod screen in iTunes. This manually launches sync. From some reason I do not get the Verifying iPod message. Not sure this is because it is not performing this function. I am going to guess that is correct as I can successfully sync the iPod at this point.
4. I had to perform this work around three more times during my testing. Since then I have downloaded more free apps and I have not had an issue since.
If I were to take a guess as to what might have caused the issue, maybe downloading several apps (10+) on the iPod and then trying to sync it. Unsure. If I have additional information I will definately update this post.

Verifying ipod

Hi
I am running iTunes 10.6 on a PC with a Windows 7 OS.
Until this weekend my iPod Classic (160G) contianing about 22,000 songs worked perfectly. Having added just two album's worth of songs to iTunes my iPod will no longer sync, with the message "Verifying iPod" continually displayed. This remains for around an hour at which point I get the message "iTunes has stopped working".
I have tried a repair of iTunes, a re-install of iTunes a reset of the iPod all to no avail... and at the same time my daughters' iPhone continues to sync perfectly...
I have seen a number of discussions elsewhere, but not seen a definitive reply....
Any help?
Much appreciated.... thanks!

I eventually resorted to a full restore before removing iTunes and reinstalling version 6 (I think). This worked, although you need to reimport your Library as earlier versions of iTunes cannot read later libraries. It worked but took best part of a weekend. The problem is people posting on here make it sound simple... and it wasnt! If you do then all your playlists will be gone.
Like you my tunes are on an external drive.
However, my daughter then updated to the latest version of iTunes and it is still working.
I have however noticed some things. I have two iPods... if I fill the older one up it gets stuck on verifying... if I only copy selected playlists I have no problem whatsover. My newer iPod will stick on verifying after undertaking sync of the old one (and always displays the "scan and fix message", to which I press "continue without scanning". However it does sync... eventually. Having read up on this, it seems it is an issue which starts to occur as the iPod gets older.
There appears to be no generic fix for this and Apple are being very quiet.

Stuck Pixels on iPod Touch

My iPod Touch is having the stuck pixel lcd problem. I have about 3 significantly bright stuck pixels and a whole bunch of not so bright ones. I don't seem to have the inverted black problem though. Is this an issue that can be easily fixed by an update or should I bring my new iPod in to be replaced? And if I do get it replaced what do you think the odds of me having the same problem are?

I had a large number of stuck pixels verified by the mac genius and his manager and they have approved a replacement as soon as they get more stock in. I am being left in charge of checking for their level of stock they won't call me when they get some in.
I had 5 very bright and about 6 they found when the took it in the back and magnified the screen, I would say you have a really good chance of taking it and and getting a replacment. Glad to hear you don't have the black issue I do. Hopefully replacments won't have stuck ones but we have the warranty so hopefully we're all covered for a while.

My iPhone 5 is stuck on "verifying update" lock screen

I was updating my iPhone to iOS 8.1.1, but it failed verification and now my phone is stuck on "verifying updates" on the lock screen. I can't even shut it off completely because it will not let me slide the power off button.
I even connected into my macbook air, but nothing happened.
Any help is appreciated to fix this issue.
Thank You!

Hello Bearcat_Pooja,
If the update process has not completed, it may help to put your iPhone into recovery mode in order to get it updated.

Face Time stuck in verifying ....running Mavericks 10.9.5

Hi, My macbook early 2009 running 10.9.5 Mavricks is unable to run Face Time. After I enter my apple id & password, it gets stuck in Verifying....mode & after a while it pretends I need to log in from scartch.......please help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Don't post any more log extracts; just test. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

My iPad 2 is stuck in verify update after updating to 8.1.3. Tried pushing buttons and holding. No luck

My iPad 2 is stuck in verify update after updating to 8.1.3. Tried pushing buttons and holding. No luck

How many times did you try the reset? Sometimes, it can take more than one reset, especially with these kinds of issues. Try multiple times. Note that you need to hold both buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. This can sometimes take 15-30 seconds.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Install Tiger gets stuck at "Verifying volume", Disk Utility not working

Hi there,
I am trying to upgrade to Tiger from OS10.3.9. I have repaired the disk permissions. Each time I try to install Tiger, it gets stuck at "Verifying Disk Volume". I then booted up from the Tiger DVD and ran Disk Utility from the DVD. Now First Aid is continually trying to repair the disk, and what appears over and over again is:
Rechecking volume.
Checking HFS Plus volume
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect number of thread records
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking Volume information.
Repairing Volume.
Rechecking volume.
Checking HFS Plus volume
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect number of thread records
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking Volume information.
Repairing Volume.
etc...
i don't know what to do about this. I do have two hard drives installed on my computer. The one I am trying to install on is a 74.5 GB ST380021A. The other is a 38.3 Maxtor 6E040L0.
It would be great to know if anyone has advice on this. Thanks so much!

hai clara,
the issue is coz the drive on which ur trying to install has some issues .
please goto the article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=13628
in most of the cases u would try some third party disk utility like disk warrior and noton disk utility to repair the disk .
then u need to run disk utility from the TIGER disk .
follow the article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
to repair the disc .
or else u can back up the data on ur HDD and then u need to do an erase and install of TIGER

During restore iPod stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE

As stated by me above, during restore iPod got stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE. Last time tried different computer, it did work. Next, with different firmware file (when the-other-computer-trick stopped working) like 2.0.2 and then upgrading it - worked for a time. Now, I cannot find ANY way to restore it. Just by itself it accidentally and randomly enters the so called DFU mode and this time I just cannot restore it, every time it's stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE

try have it restored in an apple store mate..
if that still doesnt work, send it back and have it replaced..
