When i attach my ipod it freezes my computer and itunes...any ideas ?

When i attach the ipod with the USB...it freezes my itunes and i can't do anything until i unplug the ipod....any ideas ??

Are you plugging the iPod classic into a high powered USB 2.0 port located directly on the PC and are there any other USB devices that are currently attached as well?  Have you tried using another USB sync cable as well?
The next time this happens, try resetting the device to see if that helps. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • When I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?

    when I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?

    Try a different USB port on your computer. If your using a PC, the port on a keyboard is not strong enough; plug it into a USB port on the computer tower. 
    Be sure to wait awhile; mine sometimes takes a couple minutes to connect.
    Another tip would be to open i-tunes before plugging ipod in.
    If it still doesn't work, try resetting your ipod by turning the hold button on and off, then pressing and holding the center and menu buttons until the Apple logo shows up. When ipod returns to main screen, plug it into the computer again.
    If nothing works, you may have a bad connection cord.

  • When i connect my ipod touch to the computer and it brings up itunes, and it starts syncing, it just stays on the last step(6) and I can't download anything else to my ipod.

    I connected my ipod touch to the computer.  When it brings up itunes and start to sync, it stalls at the last step (6).  This keeps me from being able to add other songs from my library to my ipod.  I'm very new at this and maybe just don't understand how it works.

  • When I plug my iPod Touch into the computer in iTunes it says: iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)

    I have a refurbished iPod Touch and it has been working fine with my computer except for sometimes there's a little delay in iTunes picking it up when I plug it in to my computer and now when I tried to plug it in to my computer it has the message that I posted in the title.

  • Can't add music to ipod touch even though computer and itunes recognize it

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation that has suddenly stopped allowing me to add any music to it. It worked absolutely great with no problems for about a year  and suddenly when I load it up on itunes I can't add any music to it at all. if I try and drag any music from my computer on to it, I get this no icon as you can see
    Same if I try and add music from my itunes library.
    I've done pretty much everything I can think of to try and fix this, I've completely wiped itunes from my computer and re-installed, I've made sure that my ipods ios is up to date, I've reset my ipod, I've completely erased my ipod and restored it to factory settings. I have an old backup but it fails every time I try and restore it, saying that the backup session failed. I've tried resetting the lockdown folder as recommended but when I delete it, itunes can't connect to my ipod, so I ended up restoring the lockdown folder back to where it was from my trash can. I've made sure all my drivers are up to date and my computer is AMD so i know its not an intel chipset/ipod issue. I've turned off my antivirus and computer security programs and that made no difference at all.
    These problems are the same when tried on another computer and I'm sure I've done other things as well but I'm drawing a blank trying to think them up.
    I have an old ipod mini that has absolutely no problems at all using the same itunes and computer so I'm pretty sure this issue is located just on this ipod. I bought it used on amazon so the warranty and service coverage have already expired, so I kinda have to figure out how to fix it myself..
    Anybody help at all with this would be greatly appreciated

    I don't see how it could be windows causing the issue since my other ipod works fine with this installation of windows on this computer and I don't at the moment have anyway to back up what I have on my computer in order to re-install windows, but maybe if nobody else has another solution I'll look into it. Thank you for your help and suggestions

  • 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.

    Hi Rumond!
    First tried putting your iPod into disk mode, following the steps here.
    Then, with your iPod in disk mode, connect it to your computer.
    Is it recognized in iTunes that way?
    If not, then have you seen all of the suggestions in these two Knowledge Base articles on the matter?:
    iPod is recognized by Windows but not iTunes

  • How do I upload music from my iPod to my new computer's iTunes Library?

    To try to explain this simply;
    I recently purchased a new computer (Toshiba laptop),
    I have already uploaded some CD's to my Library and synced my iPod Touch to my Library,
    But when I connect my iPod Classic to my computer's iTunes tells me that my iPod is already synced to another Lirbrary and gives me the options of either to "Transfer Purchases" or " Sync and Erase",
    I've tried to "Transfer Purchases" but it seems to upload literally only iTunes store purchases but I want to upload ALL of the music from my iPod to my Library because I have purchased albulms from a (deleted) Rhapsody account and I also have Youtube converted songs (which basically makes up my entire Library),
    I also have uploaded files from my old computer with an external hard drive but I have absoulutly no idea how to find them,
    So! I need to upload my music from my iPod to my Library without deleting music from my existing Library or my iPod
    Please help! And please explain as well as you can, I get confused easily..

    The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.
    If neither of the above are doable, and you have a PC, use this:

  • Since I installed the latest version of iTunes I cannot sync new downloads to my ipod. Before I installed this version I had two windows when I attached my ipod to my desktop but now there is only one. HELP

    Since I installed the latest version of iTunes I have been unable to sync new downloads to my ipod. Prior to this installation I would get 2 windows when I attached my ipod but now there is only one. The software does not recognise the device (I tried running the doagnostic) but I can see it on my desktop. Anyone know what I can do?

  • Ipod freezes computer and itunes and has corrupt songs

    Hi,
    a while back I was having problems with my 160gb IPod classic. Every time I plugged it in the entire computer, and iTunes would freeze.
    This ended with a trip to the Apple store and after a lengthy session, the iPod was restored to factory settings. (The guys had a lot of trouble doing this, didn't seem an easy process)
    Recently I plugged the iPod in (Windows 8) and added a few more albums.
    Later on when playing the iPod on my dock, I noticed a lot of the CDs were missing, completely erased. I had heard of a bug on iTunes which removes CDs that haven't been bought via iTunes, but seems strange as NONE of my albums were bought from iTunes.
    I've also noticed that songs appear to be corrupted on some albums. They begin to play, stop, then skip to the next playable song, skipping over the ones that won't play.
    Problem is that when I plug it into my HP laptop, it freezes until it is unplugged again. Same with iTunes, it wont respond while the iPod is plugged in.
    The computer registers it as a removable drive but says it is full. Device manager recognises it and says it is working ok and has the latest driver etc.
    What I want to do it restore it to factory settings but I just can't do it via iTunes and the computer doesn't give me the option as it's not recognisable in 'My Computer' as an iPod.
    Can't take it into the store again as the warranty has expired.
    There must be a way to return it to factory settings, if not manually without a computer, than maybe via device manager?
    I'm not too up on the technical side of things so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Peter.

    Eventually managed to restore to factory settings.
    Anyone heard about that ITunes 'bug/virus' or is it just scaremongering?

  • While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas?

    While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas on how to get past this so that I can at least run a restore?

    I Don't know that recovery mode would work, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    IF that fails, have you considered erasing the device using Find my iPhone in iCloud.com? I'm not sure what good that would do either of the iPad continues to freeze, but if nothing else is working .....
