When I plug in my iPod to sync, my itunes freezes...Help!

When I plug in my iPod to my Mac, my itunes freezes. Why is this happening? Help please!

That is from iTunes on the computer. It is asking you if yu want iTunes to be used for as the default player for music. Is suspect that you have a PC and that WIndwos Media Player is the default player.
You can say yes, close the message (it will appear again next time) or check the box that says do not remenid me again and then close the message.

My PC Freezes when I plug in my IPod Nano!!! Please HELP!!!!

Hello, I just bought a refurbished ipod nano and everything works fine until I plug it into my computer I do not know what to do please help me.
P.S. If this has been brought up already I am sorry I didn't have time to search for it.
Thanx

Same problem. Im running on a sony vaio and everything just stops working until i unplug my ipod. I'm really getting annoyed with this. I even tried running it through winamp, and that froze even worse. Im able to close all the windows and whatnot, but when i try to terminate an application through task manager, it doesnt go away until i unplug my ipod, meaning i cant restart itunes without unplugging my ipod. then i unplug and it works fine. then i plug back in and it freezes up again!

I have the same issue with my iPod nano Gen 3, but my husbands'--bought 1 week later--will sync just fine. Let me know if you get a resolution.

When I plug in my iPod to iTunes to sync i get an error message

I get this when I plug in my iPod to sync now: The iPod "joanleigh's iPod" cannot be synced. an unknown error occured (13019). I don't know what would happen that suddenly i can't update my playlists on my iPod. What should I do?

Even though it refers to iOS devices, it should or could still apply to your iPod Classic.

Album art does not display on iPod after sync with iTunes

I synced my 1G iPod nano to the new iTunes 7, and it did not seem to fully sync my iPod. I downloaded some album art onto some songs and they dont display on my iPod nano. Does anyone have the same problem as I do? Much help would be appreciated

I was hoping I could find the answer here. I have a 60GB Video and before v7 about 30% of my albums had art that I found and attached myself, they showed up on my iPod. With v7 I chose for iTunes to get my album art and it did, all of my songs had corresponding art to go with it, when I plugged in my iPod to sync last night I just let it run because there are so many. This morning I get my iPod and I play a song, nothing, then another and another and still no art but when I open iTunes, I see the album art. What gives?

When I plug my iphone in to synch with itunes the summary screen doesn't come up. It starts synching everything. I only want to synch music.

Disable automatic syncing.
Whatever is selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences will go through the process of being checked - if there are any changes in regards to the data you have selected to be synced with or transferred from your computer regardless.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

HT1349 i have a new pc and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all data to sync. How can i get my music from the ipod to the new computer?

I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync. How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer. The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.

One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

I have downloaded the latest version of itunes but when i plug in my ipod it doesnt list any devices in itunes to enable me to choose my ipod to sync it.

So panick over for now, thank you very much.

Hi sarahdavis0_o,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If neither your iPod or iPhone are being recognized by iTunes when connected, I would recommend the steps in the following article.

Can I syncronize my iPod without loosing all its data?. How about syncronizing it to my iPhone?

Have you tried the steps listed here?

I just reformatted my laptop (it's like new now). When I plug in my iPod/iPhone, in the Photos section, I don't have the option of choosing iPhoto to sync albums to my devices. What do I do?

I just reformatted my laptop (it's like new now). When I plug in my iPod/iPhone, in the Photos section, I don't have the option of choosing iPhoto to sync albums to my devices. What do I do so I iPhoto becomes an option in iTunes?

I didn't have iPhoto so I had to purchase it from the App store but that didn't help. I think the problem is because my devices still think they are synced to the previous version of my mac, but I don't know how to get them to sync with the new setup.
