When i connect my ipod itunes shuts down

whenever i connect my 8 gb 5th gen. ipod nano to my computer it usually will open up itunes automatically if not already. then it will automatically sync to itunes. right now my ipod does that however halfway through the first sync object, itunes stops working.

I would uninstall the ipod and itunes software, reboot and then reinstall it all.

When I connect my Ipod, itunes freezes up.

As my subject states: I'll have itunes up and running, I use the USB plug to connect my ipod then itunes freezes. The Do not disconnect icon is flashing on the ipod but nothing happens on itunes.

No. Have you seen this article yet?

When I connect my IPOD ITUNES FREEZES!!! HELP!!

Everytime I connect my ipod to ITUNES my sync does not work and ITunes freezes... I updated to v7 and updated my ipod as well. Anyone know what to do? I am at a loss, I cannot sync my ipod..

I'm right there with you. And so is a ton of other people. Mine just crashes all over the place like a blindman driving an 18-wheeler through New York City. And often without even giving me an option to report it.
Basically, I am gathering that there is a craplooad of crucial glitches that they didn't work out before releasing. and a bunch of us are stuck with it until they have release the next version. Unless you want to go to the trouble to delete it and reinstall version 6.0.5. Which I started to do, but I think it'll be too big of a pain. Hopefully they will get to it fast.
That is just my 2¢, though.

ITunes shuts down when I plug in my iPod

I've used my iPod without a problem since Christmas. For the past week, when I plug in my iPod, iTunes shuts down due to an unnamed error.
I have reinstalled all my USB drivers, removed all of my Apple software twice and reinstalled it twice (once with the guidance of an Apple tech via phone). The Apple tech guy sent me to the Apple store to replace my iPod, which I did. But none of that has fixed the problem.
So now, I'm left with an empty iPod that can't sync with my library because iTunes keeps shutting down when I plug in the iPod. The people at the Apple store said they couldn't help me further because I have a PC. The people at Microsoft won't take any responsibility because iTunes is an Apple product. So, I'm left with a $200 iPod that is suddenly for some unexplained reason, shutting down iTunes. So now, both the iPod and iTunes are worthless.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I'm a singer and depend upon my iPod for rehearsal, so I need it fixed ASAP. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry I wasn't very clear the first time. Changing the Drive Letter is done through Disk Management in Windows. I suggested you open the itunes preferences in hopes that you would then be able to connect your ipod without it crashing.
To change the drive letter:
Since we know this trick works
First open itunes, then select Edit-Preferences and leave this open.
Then, follow the steps [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493]
I use Q, R and T for my ipods so the computer doesn't confuse it with other removable devices.

ITunes Shuts Down when Loading Videos

I have a 120 gig iPod Classic, and just recently I started having problems with it. Now whenever I try to load a movie from iTunes to my iPod, iTunes shuts down right when the video is almost done loading onto my iPod. I have no problems with music, or even when I load videos from another computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Are you trying to sync them from the photos tab?
If so, try importing the videos into itunes and then syncing them from the movies tab.
You'll also want to uncheck 'Sync Videos' in the photos tab.

ITunes 11.1 freezes when I connect my ipod Touch 5g w/ ios 7

I recently downloaded ios 7 for my ipod touch 5g. I didn't have a problem with ios 7 as I actually kind of liked it. However, when I tried to sync my music, itunes told me that i needed to download version 11.1 because it supports ios 7. I downloaded it and hooked my ipod up. Whenever I do this, it freezes/crashes my computer afeter about 10 seconds. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hello rise92,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes 11.1 and your iPod touch. I found an article with steps you can take if iTunes stops responding when you connect your iPod:
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

ITunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb

I desperately need help. Recently my computer crashes and I reformated it. So I had to reinstall iTunes. Ever since then iTunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb. A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I am unable to update my iPod which drives me crazy. Somebody please help!
I browsed through some threads which have similar problems as I do, but I am unable to reply in any. It says: This topic has been archived - replies are not allowed.
There's this thread here about the problem I am facing but I doesn't seem to understand the solution to it.

Can somebody please help me?

A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

Itunes shuts down when connecting Ipod HELP

Recently when I connect my Ipod to my Itunes a windows error message appears and shuts down itunes for me. The message reads that Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I am unable to transfer any music, play songs off my ipod, or delete songs off my ipod. I have reinstalled Itunes several times. All of my songs are stored on my IPOD only so reseting would erase all of them. PLEASE HELP!!!

Yes this used to happen to me also. Heres how to fix it. If this event just started happening after you have downloaded new music, I know how to fix it. Sort your iTunes by DATE ADDED. Then start clicking on the songs or videos, etc. in order from top down. When you click on a certain one(s) and iTunes shuts down, this is what you do:
1. Find the file(s) on your computer by doing a computer search from the start menu.
2. When you locate the file(s), click on it or them and send them into your recycle bin or trash for mac users.
3. Then open iTunes.
4. Locate the file(s).
5. They should have a little ! next to them.
6. When you click on them, iTunes won't shut down.
7. Just right click on the file(s) and delete them again, this time from iTunes.
8. Reset your iPod.
9. Connect it.
10. Your problem is solved!

Itunes keeps shutting down when I connect my IPod Classic

Itunes shuts down whenever I connect my IPOD classic and sync attempts to start. I have had this IPod for several years and I have had Windows 7 for over 6 months. I am trying to update versions, but I get an error message with that also.I have also seen posts on Microsoft and they aren't helpful.....I have seen many posts on Itunes also regarding same issue. What is up when the company will not fix their problems with the products?

I downloaded the 64bit system....did it like 3 times. Finally, I found some other helpful hints. I tried loading ITUNES in safe mode, still couldn't get it to not shutdown once I connected the IPod, I then logged into one of my other user accounts, then I was able to restore the settings, however, it removed all my songs and syned with the Itunes on that user acct (which was my nano IPod). That was ok, because then I was able to go back to my regular account and sync and updated all my songs....just had to have my kids authorize me again on Itunes. Think it's a racket to keep upgrading, changing things and not supporting the stuff that still works.....my classic works just fine nd holds 5,000 songs...I only have about 1500; so I have long way to go. When my display cracked and the LCD was all messed up. I sent it to IFIXIPODS fast.com and they replaced it, quick and cheap--hats off to them!

ITunes shuts down when I connect my IPod

Hello to all.
Everytime I connect my IPod to my PC, iTunes shuts down. If I disconnect the IPod, I can use iTunes. What happened? I already installed the newest software. The problem is new for me, some days ago I could use ITunes normally with my IPod. The second problem is, that I cant see and hear my music, which is still on my IPod. This problem exists since I got the problem with iTunes.

I would uninstall the ipod and itunes software, reboot and then reinstall it all.
