Why does my iTunes stop working every time I plug my iPad in, but works for other apple devices

I have the lastest version of iTunes and the lastest version of the iOS sytem on my iPad 2. Every time I plug my iPad in and it comes up on iTunes, my iTunes stops responding and I have a never ending rainbow wheel. This is really frustrating and only happens when I plug my iPad in. It hasn't done that when I've plugged my iPhone, my brother's iPad, my iPod touch or my friend's iPod touch. Please help me! I just want to add a movie to my iPad.

It's happening to me too. The last time I synced was on Dec. 29th 2011 (right after I moved to Puerto Rico), so I figure my moving has nothing to do with it if it synced perfectly a week ago. But now when I try to sync it, after uninstalling itunes, restarting my computer, etc., it keeps freezing on me. I'm just hoping that syncing to iCloud is actually useful...

  • Why does ptpcamera now start up every time I plug in my iPhone to charge off my computer?

    Don't have iPhoto set to auto launch.
    And ptpcamera seems to consume a very large amount of CPU capacity - you can hear the fans in my macbook pro come on, bloody ****. 
    The ptpcamera process does not end either, blood ****.
    Seems like this thing started with the last camera RAW update that rolled out. 
    With that and issues with the recent Java update, I just want to grouse about how sloppy things now seem with the Apple updates. 

    It is opening up your computer generally because there are photos in the camera roll to prompt you to import them to the computer as you would a digital camera.
    To correct the issue with the iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it

    Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it and how can I fix the problem.

    I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!

  • IPhoto launches every time i plug my iPad into my iMac

    Every time I plug my ipad into my imac to sync it launches iphoto. Not sure why this continues to happen. Anyone have any ideas that can help me??

    No promises but a system Reset cures many ills and takes but a minute to perform:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A Reset does NOT delete apps, photos, movies, music or any other data. A Reset does NOT delete any settings for email, network access, etc.

  • Why does iTunes shut down every time I plug in my iPod nano?

    For the last few months every time I plug my iPod into my mac iTunes automatically shuts down and an error message shows up. I have an iPhone and this problem doesn't happen when I plug it in. I have already taken my iPod to the apple store to see if they can fix it and they restored it but, when I took it home and plugged it in nothing has changed, iTunes still suddenly quits. I am running out of ideas on what the problem could be.

    If the Apple Store Genius Bar was able to connect your iPod to a Mac and run a Restore, iTunes did not unexpectedly quit, so there is probably nothing wrong with the iPod.
    Since you can connect an iPhone to your Mac and there is no problem, there is probably no hardware problem on the Mac.
    That leave the iTunes installation.  So, I would download the latest stand-alone iTunes installer and install iTunes again.  If you use 10.5.8 (as it says in your profile), you should be able to use the latest version available here
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you are not using the latest version of iTunes already, please post back with the version you are using (and the reason you are using an older version).

  • How do I get photoshop elements 11 to stop opening every time I plug in my iPhone on windows 10?

    Please help, it happens every time I plug in my phone and is really annoying. I've looked into the topic online and all I can see is help for the mac and other sites that don't help. Thanks and please get back to me soon.

    This is probably a setting in your operating system.
    I don't have the Windows 10 Preview version but try either searching for Autoplay or go to
    Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Autoplay
    The phone is probably being treated as a camera and so set the default action accordingly.

  • Why does my itunes stop working?

    I have the latest version. It works up until I click to add a podcast episode to my ipod. Every time it shuts down right after clicking a podcast in the sync field. I have tried resetting and have updated Windows.

    Hi AudioTim,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like when you try to sync the iPod iTunes freezes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • Why does my iTunes stop playing after a certain amount of time?

    When I begin a Playlist in iTunes on my 2009, 24 in. display iMac, it will suddenly stop playing after a few songs. I have looked through
    every setting I can locate, but am unable to correct this problem. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    On the webite for the station. look for a Listen link for another type of player.  Many stations are going away from streams that iTunes can link to.  while you're on the website. look for a Contact Us llink and report your trouble.   They might not be aware there is trouble.
    Do a Get Info, go to first tab and Edit URL.. Copy and paste the stream URL here so others can test it.

  • So, my ipod touch 4th generation has stopped working. every time i plug it into a wall or an outlet, it will regester that it has been plugged in, but it will not charge, and trurn on. does anyone have any suggestions? thank you.

    my ipod touch has stopped working. I will plug it into a wall, or computer, and it will register that it is plugged in, but it will not charge and turn on. does anyone have any advice? thank you.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my iTunes stop playing when I close the lid on my laptop?

    I am playing iTunes on my Vista laptop and my setting are 'do nothing' for both powered and battery use, but when I close the lid iTunes stops playing music. Does anyone know why and how I stop it? Please don't say "don't close the lid..." Thanks.

    You have your answer... there is no way to stop iTunes from stopping playing music when the lid is closed.
    You can try adjusting the power settings, but if that's not working...there is no way for iTunes to override it.

  • Why does firefox corrupt my bookmarks every time I load it on a different computer?

    I found that a number of people have asked how to recover their bookmarks, but my question is why do I have to do it every day? I work on three different computers, and I love Firefox and have it as my default browser on each one. However, I had to turn on syncing bookmarks because every time I logged onto a different computer than the last one I used, sync screwed up my bookmarks, mostly by duplicating folders, but sometimes by emptying them. Now, the entire file doesn't (usually) get corrupted, although today it did, but opening Firefox on a different computer always adds a couple of folders that weren't there before.
    Now, I back up my bookmarks manually every day on each computer using the "backup" option with "show all bookmarks" and also with FEBE, which is terrific. (FEBE has helped me recover multiple crashed Firefox installations -- but frequent crashed Firefox installations is another problem). So, I don't need to know how to save/preserve my bookmarks.
    I'm just wondering why Mozilla doesn't fix this persistent problem?

    Sync unfortunately is known to sometimes corrupt or duplicate bookmarks. I had hoped it may have been fixed with the New Sync but apparently not.

  • Why does this spam site load every time I open a new tab?

    Every time I open a new tab in Firefox, it loads this specific search engine. This has never been my Home Page, and my preferences are set to show a blank page when I open a new window or tab.
    Why is this happening? What can I do to fix this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
