TS1717 iTunes freezing when I plug my phone in. I need help! It's getting increasingly frustrating!

My iTunes is slow and often freezes. When I plug my iphone 5 into my computer it automatically freezes. I can't do anything and have to use the task manager to exit. I am using the most recent software 11.1.5. I have tried uninstalling and repairing, I have also searched on the internet for things to do to help but none have worked so far. I am also using windows 7. I did not have this problem before installing the new software.

Hello Shan0508,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when connecting your iPhone to your computer.  I found an article with steps you can take if iTunes stops working when you connect your iPhone:

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my iPod in. Please HELP

    I have a 4G 8GB iPod touch, and it hasn't been synced into iTunes for about 2 months now because iTunes always freezes when I plug my iPOd into it.(I have iTunes 10.1 or which ever one is the latest version and it just freezes). Can anyone help or has the same problem?

    I have the same problem
    I managed to get it to work this way on Windows 7 SP1 X64
    Itunes 10.2
    Ipod 2g
    Open Itunes
    Open Task manager
    Click on process tab
    Connect Ipod 2g
    Swap back to applications tab and check for not responding for Itunes
    If Itunes goes not responding
    Disconnect and reconnect Ipod, while viewing process tab
    It may take a few times

  • My Itunes freezes when I plug in my ipod and wont verify or sync

    My Itunes freezes every time I try to plug in my ipod classic. It wont verify my ipod so it can't sync or update it. I have to shut down and restart my computer to get it to function at all. I have had my ipod for awhile and have had no problems with it and my Iphone connects and syncs just fine. My Itunes is up dated with the latest version and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have reset my ipod multiple times. I can't even restore my ipod because it freezes so fast I cant get the restore started. Someone PLEASE HELP!!

    I'd suggest you post your question on the iTunes for Windows forum. This forum is meant for getting Windows to run on a Mac.

  • ITunes freezing when iPod plugged in...

    Recently I noticed that a vast majority of my music had dissapeared from my iPod, as if I had deleted it. I have no idea why such a thing woud happen, but I figured that it wasn't a problem since I could just plug it into my computer and sync it. However, after syncing several times, the music did not return to my iPod, and now iTunes freezes whenever I plug it in. Without it connected, iTunes appears to function perfectly fine, however when I connect my iPod it freezes immediately. A long time after unplugging it again, iTunes gives me a message about it not being recognized (or something to that effect). I have already tried deleting the contents of the Sync Services folder, which seemed to help many others with this problem. What can I do to fix this?

    Your nano uses a totally different way to sync with iTunes than the touch. You need to follow the troubleshooting tips in this article about removing and reinstalling iTunes.

  • TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

    Please help!
    My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD
    This also happens in safe mode
    My driver is up to date

    We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
    It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
    Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

  • Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod classic 120GB, please help

    hello,
    I got a problem with my itunes/ipod, I believe it's my ipod.
    My Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows 7 Professional, latest version of itunes),
    it started when i've connected my ipod to itunes and I just plugged it out when it was syncronizing.
    after that my whole content (music, pic's, video's) are deleted. The default stuff is the only thing what's left on it.
    And now every time I connnect my ipod classic my itunes freezes. I've installed itunes on my new computer but it keeps doing nothing..
    I've tried the support pages from apple but I just can't fix this problem, please help.

    See Corrupt iPod classic.

  • My itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....help!!

    I have installed the new update (Windows 8 64 bit)  & my itunes freezes when I connect my ipod.    

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • ITunes freezing when iPhone plugged into USB

    I've had my iPhone since September 08 and never had any problems syncing. Today when I plugged in my (90% charged) iPhone into my computer after adding some music to iTunes the program froze. At first it started to sync but asked if I wanted to update something. Not sure exactly what it was, some type of setting. I said yes and it downloaded whatever that was and did not sync after that. I unplugged the iPhone and replugged it to start the sync. The phone is charging so the USB port is working. I tried restarting the computer and the iPhone, repairing iTunes, different USB ports, and nothing is working. iTunes will function normally until the iPhone is plugged in. Then it freezes.
    I at least have a working phone, but I'd really really like to sync.

    SWEET RELIEF! i've been having this same problem and its nearly been the death of me (and/or my macbook and/or iphone). the second i connect my iphone to USB, itunes immediately just goes unresponsive/hangs. i've been staring at that freaking swirling rainbow for days. i've gone over every single how-to/troubleshooting/etc. topic in apple support, and gotten exactly nowhere.
    but then i found your post, deleted my podcasts, and it was like magic - iphone/itunes sync up and running like clockwork.
    my sanity thanks you... TO EVERYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME PROB - THIS WORKS!!! JUST DELETE WHATEVER PODCASTS/APPS YOU DOWNLOADED FROM YOUR IPHONE, AND PROBLEM SOLVED.
    LadyNigelia you're my hero.

  • ITunes Freezes when I plug in my Ipad

    I'm on a Windows 7 PC, and have installed the latest Version of Itunes 10.2.2.12.
    I have had the Ipad 2 for exactly 5 days, and have successfully synced the thing a total of 3 times... Only right after I intially install (Or reinstall) Itunes.   Everytime I try to connect the Ipad now, one of 3 things happens.
    1. Itunes freezes completley, and never starts responding again.
    2. Itunes freezes momentarily, but never shows that the Ipad is connected.
    3. Itunes Doesn't do anything... just dosn't realize there is an Ipad connected.
    I've reinstalled a total of 3 times, and only then am I able to sync... and only once.
    Now the PC actually recognizes that I have an Ipad linked, as it shows the icon, and says that my ipod is connected in the system tray

    I have experienced the same issue.
    I see the following behavior:
    hangs sometimes when plugging in ipad.  ipad does not seem to recognize synching.  unplugging ipad in this situation unfreezes itunes.
    re-plugging in ipad sometimes works while itunes is up.  Most always works if itunes is shutdown before plugging in ipad.
    I have re-installed itunes from scratch several times.  I believe that this has improved the situation temporarily but I generally see it return eventually.

  • ITunes freezes when I plug in my 4S

    Brand new iPhone 4S.  When I transferred my info to it the other day, everything was fine.  Now when I plug it in, iTunes immediately freezes.  Will not sync, will not cancel sync.  When opening the task menu, it says iTunes is "Not Responding." iPhone 4 will still plug in and sync fine without this issue.

    Suggest uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Use this support document information to do that.

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my ipod in

    This problem started when iTunes said it couldn't sync some of the songs to my ipod.  I think it said my ipod was corrupt or something like that so I tried to restore it.  It froze after the restore, so I unplugged the iPod.  It works when it's not plugged in, there's just nothing on it.  When I plug it into the computer iTunes freezes.  I tried doing reformatting it through Windows in disk mode, then it showed up in iTunes as corrupt.  I restored it and the same thing happened.  I don't know what to do; does anyone know anything about this?

    If the above steps don't work, I went through a lot of trial and error to fix mine but found that this method worked great. 
    1.  Press and hold select and menu to reset.
    2.  When the apple comes up, press select and play to put the iPod in disk mode.
    3.  Plug iPod in and make sure iTunes recognizes it.  It will still give you an error but ignore it. 
    4.  Find out what the iPod drive name is.  Mine is G: so be careful what you put in because this will completely format any drive you type in.
    Open up CMD from the run or start menu.  Type in:
    Format G: /FS:FAT32.
      (Remember to replace G: with whatever drive your iPod is.)
    Then hit enter. It may take a while.  This will start the iPod format.
    5.  When that is finished, you will get an error that says something like the drive is too big for FAT.  Ignore this. 
    6.  Eject the iPod using iTunes and then press the select and menu button to reset the iPod back into normal mode. 
    7.  Plug the iPod back in.  You will get a message on Windows saying that you need to format it again.  Ignore this. 
    8.  Restore the iPod using iTunes.
    This method will completely wipe the iPod and formats the entire thing to its original file format.  I have read that doing this can reduce the life of the iPod, but better than having a iPod paper weight.  This method made mine run like new again.  I found that using the Windows Format Utility doesn't work to well.  The CMD format seemed to do the trick.    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes freezes when I plug in my Ipod Touch - what should I do?

    I know that this has been asked numerous times, but I haven't found a solution yet. The basics:
    It was working fine yesterday, but when i plug in my ipod, itunes won't recognize it and it will freeze until I remove the ipod.
    My 3rd gen ipod touch, when I try to access my music and videos (my photos are still there), just goes to a white screen.
    After going to settings and about in my ipod, next to music and videos, it just says loading and won't do anything else.
    I've reinstalled itunes and it has the latest update.
    I've restarted my ipod many times.
    I don't know what else to do. Everything else runs fine, the apps and internet connectivity is all great. Can someone please help me? This has been an absolutely terrible month and my ipod crashing is the icing on the cake from ****.
