When I try to sync my ipod itunes will freeze when it says "waiting to start sync"

It ALWAYS does this no matter what I do
Is it because ive saved alot of pictures and made new playlists since my last sync?
How do I ficx this

- Have you tried resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Also try rebooting yu computer.

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!

Ipod and itunes(especially itunes)will freeze while syncing

Which application are you watching the videos..... QuickTime, VLC, etc.? Which version? If QT are you using v10 or v 10.7.x? The latter is located inside your Utilities folder. If using VLC, you should be using the latest version.
Type of video files = .mov, .mp4, .mkv, etc.?

- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.

Itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what now?,

itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what do i do?

Unless you just attempted to downgrade iTunes to an earlier verison this is probably a sign of a corrupt library.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Itunes will not open and says R6034 an application has made an attempt to load runtime library incorrectly, I tried to load it twice but nothing

Itunes will not open, it says R6034 an application has made an attempt to load C runtime library incorrectly, then it says service apple mobil device failed to start

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.

I configured everything then when it says "Waiting to restart..." it doesnt

I bought Airport Extreme to add on to my Verizon router for better range and then I configured everything then when it says "Waiting to restart..." it doesn't

Welcome to the discussions!
I bought Airport Extreme to add on to my Verizon router for better range and then I configured everything then when it says "Waiting to restart..." it doesn't
Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme and Verizon routers are not compatible for the purpose of "extending" a wireless network using wireless only. If this is what you are trying to do, you'll need to explore some other configuration options.
The "extend a wireless network" feature will only work if both the main and remote routers are Apple "n" devices.
If you can connect the AirPort Extreme to the Verizon router using an ethernet connection, you should be able to "extend" the wireless network that way. Post back if you need more details about this.

When i try to restore my ipod, itunes freezes

this morning i woke up to the red X on my ipod screen which is the worst way to wake up. I ended up fixing it via the slap trick, then itunes recognized my ipod again for a little. Then, itunes said that my music was wiped and corrupted everything.
So, I had to reformat and did. Now, i've been stuck for the last 6 hours because iTunes won't give me the option to restore before my ipod forces it into "not responding" (itunes is up to date). When i unplug my ipod itunes is fine. WHen i turn my ipod on, it acts as if everything is fine, but its just an empty ipod. When i check the ipod's memory on it, it says its completely erased - 73.4 GB free, but it says i have 3 games somehow??
What can I do to get my ipod working again in itunes? Thank you.

To be more specific:
I formatted the ipod because itunes and my computer told me that was my only option. So, I formatted it and waited until complete. After that, itunes recognized it for a moment and told me to restore. So i clicked restore and then itunes/ipod became frozen. I safely removed my ipod and then my itunes became unfrozen. My ipod was navigatable now and its memory screen showed its fully clean aside from 3 games ( 3 games?). After a minute, i plug the ipod back in and itunes freezes and wont respond, but "My Computer" recognizes always that there is an ipod plugged in.
So now I have been stuck in a loop of plug in -> freeze/not responding -> unplug -> restart computer -> plug in -> etc. for the last 6 hours. My ipod is still not restored, as far as I can see.
Also, I dont know if this is related, but i have a feeing it may, but when plugging the ipod into my computer, windows asks me if i want to check disk IPOD to fix file system errors. When it finishes it tells me it cant finish or scan because it is already in use. I have no clue how it could already be "in use".
What can be done? I feel like ive tried everything I can do and am really quite frustrated. This is the worst trouble ive ever had with an ipod.
