Touch 40 Gig Freezes when putting songs on

i looked for this...couldn't find what i'm looking for. my 40 gig zen touch freezes everytime i put music on it...i have to let the battery run out and recharge to use it again. i try to reset it using the reset button (which i strongly believe is broken) in addition to pressing the "play" button. i have firmware version 2..0 and mediasource ver. 3.30.2 (which is a CRAP program). Is this player faulty? What can i do to fix it's I've had the player for roughly 7 months...

You have 2 options: #1 - iPod Repair Tutorials
#2 - take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Itunes freezes when syncing songs (-69)

Whenever I go to synch my 16GB iPod Classic, it keeps freezing on certain songs and tells me there has been an unknown error (-69). However these songs have played fine on both my iTunes and my iPod before, so they shouldn't be corrupt. Even tracks I've brought from the Store have this problem as well as those i've imported on CD. I've followed Apples Support page suggestions but I'm still having problems.
Any suggestions?
I should note that all my music is stored on an external hard drive including my iTunes folder.

Hello Smythe,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please follow the steps in the article linked to below to resolve this issue of iTunes becoming unresponsive when an iOS device is plugged in.

My ipod touch 3rd gen freezes when using the itunes app looking for podcasts

When looking at podcasts with my Ipod touch's itunes app, when i attempt to download podcasts from the nerdist podcast, the itunes app freezes and shuts me out for a minute or two. This only happens on some podcasts but not all.

Okay so, with some patience and some tinkering... It appears to be a problem with the most popular podcasts. Maybe something to do with so many people downloading it at the same time? Anyway, I've found you just have to wait it out. Keep your itouch active and from going to sleep and eventually it will load the podcasts and you will be able to download them. On average it takes me anywhere from 2 to 8 minutes to get my most popular podcasts, I just keep it on the screen and keep it from going to sleep

Why does iTunes and my whole computer freeze when syncing songs to phone?

Im trying to sync my iPhone 3gs with iTunes but my laptop keeps freezing after 14 songs why is this? I have recently upgraded to ios5 so im guessing its because of this..how do i solve my problem?

Do you have all the latest software updates? This seemed to be a problem with earlier versions but everything seems to be running okay with iTunes 7.7.1 and iPhone 2.0.2 (which came out yesterday)

IPod freezes when transferring songs.

Hi,
My iPod was working perfectly fine before the latest iPod update. Then when I updated my iPod I started having a lot of the same problems as everyone else; the computer not recognizing that the iPod's connected.
Anyways, I managed to somewhat fix the problem by restoring my iPod using the iPod update previous to the latest one. After doing that, I can now connect my iPod to my computer with no problems.
However, as you all know, restoring your iPod erases everything on it. So now I have to put all my music back on. This is where I have problems.
I have tried both the manual and automatic methods of transferring my songs from iTunes to my iPod and no success with either way. What happens is that as soon as I get to anywhere from the 100th to the 150th song in my iTunes library it gets stuck. For example it will say "Updating songs on Dijita's iPod. Copying 107 of 1000: Song Title" and it will stay there and not get any further. Any attempt to stop the process or shutting down iTunes freezes up the system.
If anyone can help me get my music back on my iPod, that would be fantastic.

I was having a very similar problem with my 3rd Gen, 15GB iPod. The iPod would crash and lock up iTunes and I had to just unplug the 'Pod to free up the system.
It turns out it was the FireWire hub I was using that was somehow causing the problem (the hub was also the cause of my iSight not working correctly with Delicious Library but that is another story). If you are using a hub, and you can take it out of the mix I'm guessing your iPod will work correctly.

ITunes freezes when adding songs

I upgraded iTunes to 6.0.1.whatever and now i can't do anything. When I try to add files or folders to my library iTunes freezes and i have to shut it down. Along with this it will no longer recognize or find any of my songs that I was recently (before upgrading) able to play that are located on my external hard drive. I can only play songs that are on my local disk. Can anyone help????

Computer Freezes When Putting Music on iPod 60gb

Hi,
Just got a replacement iPod 60gb (5th gen) and I have been putting all 6000 songs (or so) back onto it. everytime I drag the songs, the computer freezes (after different times)
why does it do this?? And how can I stop it?
Thanks.
Dan.

Id say (Taking for granted your on manual update since your drag and dropping) is there theres alot of info going back and forth over the USB connection. If your adding ALL the music, it will be easier to just set the iPOd to "Auto Update" and have iTUnes send it all over at once

Ipod touch 5 gen freezes when connected to car stereo

I have a new ipod touch 5 gen that works perfectly until it is connected to my car stereo. Actually, it works fine for an hour or so, when suddenly the sound stops and the ipod screen is frozen blue screen or a blank screen with a glowing center. The connection is via cable from the radio to a 30 pin connector adapted to the lightning connector with apple's adaptor. Fortunately I've been able to restore after each instance, but the second time the screen was flickering and It took two restore sessions to get things stabilized. I don't want to fry this expensive toy, but I would like to use it for music in my car.

Do you know if other people have the same problem? Maybe your car (stereo) is incompatible with the iPod? Do you have to restore it or do you can use it anyway after a freeze? If no, make a reset before restoring it) I'm sure the cable/adapter isn't the problem.
And with the "glowing center" - you mean the Apple Logo, right?

ITunes 11.0.2.26 Freezes when playing songs

Using Win 7 64 bit SP1.
What I have noticed is, that if left on its own, iTunes 11.0.2.26 seems fine, but once other programs are opened and used... in my case memory/processor intense things like Powerpoint and doing Internet Searches ESPECIALLY for graphics (using Chrome OR IE 10), songs first start to "stutter" and finally iTunes freezes/crashes.
Entering Task Manager I can successfully stop the application/processes/services, but the program obviously does not clear memory, in that it will not restart without rebooting.
I did not have this problem with earlier iterations of iTunes although I did notice some "stuttering" beginning with ver 10.
Any help/suggestions for a solution will be appreciated....I am a technical writer working in Powerpoint for online courses/presentations and music playing is a necessary part of my creative process. I'm about ready to chuck everything "Apple" and try to figure out how to play MY music (bought and paid for) in another fashion.

First I would try this
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Next remove the Apple software using the instruction above and install a previous version. You can Google to find the previous versions

Freezes when updating songs

Every time when I start to update my iPod it will upload about two songs, then say "The drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. please check drive E: and make sure a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed." I have no idea what the door being open means, can anybody help? Thanks

Hmmmm. I'm not sure how to explain this.
You need to change the Drive Letter for your iPod.
You should be able to connect your iPod then open Windows Explorer and right click on your iPod(which seems to be Drive E:) and change it to a different letter (like H).
If you haven't enabled disk use for your iPod it probably won't appear in Windows Explorer.
To enable disk use: connect iPod, open iTunes. Open Preferences and select the iPod tab. Choose "enable disk use."
Once you've done all that, try resyncing.

4GB Nano- freezes when put on hold, even after its taken off of hold..also-

I always put my ipod on hold, for certain reasons, such as when i put it in my pocket, purse, etc. Well recently, i would put it on hold, and when i take it off hold, it STAYS on hold. I didn't really understand why, so i tried pressing the buttons on the click wheel to reset it, but then it still wouldn't do anything (the music still playing). finally about 5 minutes later, it will go off of hold and seem to work perfectly fine until i put it on hold again. i tried connecting it via usb port on the computer, and then taking it off and putting it on hold again, but it still stays on hold. i also tried connected it via the wall charger, but the same problem persists. Also, what really freaked me out was that i turned it off after this little problem, and it wouldn't turn on. I know how sometimes if it doesn't turn on right away just to hold the menu button or something, but this time it just wouldn't turn on at all. Eventually, about 5 minutes later, it turned on. I've had my ipod since March '05, and until now, there has been no problems whatsoever, in fact, i very much enjoy my ipod. so i was just wondering if there is something more i could do, or do i need to get a replacement, mind you, im still under warranty.

Have you tried restoring your iPod to see if that helps? Since you have had it since March 05 and it is still under warranty (I assume until March of this year) you may want to go ahead and put in a service request just to be on the safe side.

IPod freezes when put in dock, EVERYTIME!

Hi all-
Ever since the newest version of iTunes (7.0.1), I have had freezing problems with my 5th generation 30GB iPod. I put it in the dock, and the "DO not disconnect" icon comes up and freezes, and the iPod will not show up on my desktop or in iTunes unless I reset it. This happens EVERY time! Any solutions? I'm up to the second on software updates.
Thanks all.

Sorry, this is my italian version. I tried to disinstall, clean and reinstall but it's no use.
My OS is Windows 7.

HI,
Try force quitting an application.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then
press and hold the Home button until the application you were using quits.
If that doesn't help, turn iPad off, and then turn it on again. Press and hold the
Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and
hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Hope this helps,,,
Carolyn
