Why is it every time I connect my iPod Classic, iTunes 11.1 freezes?
This only started happening recently. Every single time i connect my iPod, iTunes just stops responding.
I have a 160 GB newer model and Windows 7
Also I've formatted and restored it more than enough times
Stared happening when I updated to iTunes, version 11. Both on Mac OS-X 10.6 and Windows 7 platfiorms. Bounced back to an earlier version and this corrected the problem. Restored and reloaded without any difficulty. Make sure to disable AUTOMATIC UPDATES in preferences in the general pane. Keep a spare version of the application/program so that in case you need it if anything happens or somebody updates your machine if you take it in for service.
Problems associated so far from my perspective using Mac and Windows are: iPod disappears from the desktop, iPod freezes; host computer freezes; iTunes library does not load correctly or at all; Formatting on Windows based computers shows formatted when in fact it did not; iPod may not respond correctly after ejecting.
Hope this helps. Running iTunes version 9.0.2 (originally furnished with my 2009 MacBook). This is from the restore disc and works like a charm. I have the 5th generation 30 Gb iPod.
Inquiries accepted. If I can help, all the better.

Videos updated every time I connect my iPods
So every time I connect my iPod classic or my iPod video 5th gen to iTunes, it keeps on “updating“ some of my videos. So I have to wait until it syncs them back to my ipods until I can disconnect. I really don't understand why it does that so I would like some help. iTunes is up to date. It doesn't re-sync all of my videos, only videos that I have converted.

Itunes crashes every time I connect my Ipod..
I had my Ipod connected while running a software update 1-2 weeks ago. Shortly after the update completed, my computer gave me "A computer must be restarted" mesage, and promptly shut down all the programs I was using and rebooted. Currently, not only does Safari refuse to operate, my Itunes crashes every time I connect my Ipod, preventing me from altering information or transferring songs. I've done everything but 'restore'-- I'm afraid that if I reset my Ipod, I'll lose the songs I already have.

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone. -

I chose to restore it to factory defaults, but that never succeeded.

Littery it says:

Already for 40 minutes.
I closed down iTunes.
Now, when I turn on my iPod, there is the icon of iTunes with an usb cable towards it.
When I attach it to my computer and turn on iTunes, the message is there that a iPod was stuck in recovery mode and I should retry it.
And then I get the same story. Unpacking, installing, checking... blocked! -

IPod Classic 120GB ejects every time its connected and found by iTunes.
My iPod is about to drive me insane, I came home today and connected it to take a few songs off of it and change it so it wouldn't continue to sync my entire library. Upon doing so now every time I connect it it gets ejected before I can restore it because it won't stay connected. What can I do to stop this?
Okay I was lucky enough to be able to click restore and it was in the process when it disconnected so when I connected it again it restored it. What in the world caused this? Any ideas?

Every time I eject my Ipod from ITunes 7, it erases everything
Every time I eject my ipod (with clickwheel) from ITunes 7 after updating, it takes a long time, and then when it finally ejects, all my songs are erased from the ipod. When I reconnect to my iBook, I have to restore the ipod... every time!
After the restore, and the whole library is re-copied, the ipod seems to eject itself automatically and is fine. It's only when I reconnect the ipod and try to sync it after I've bought new songs.
Has anyone else had similar problems? Is my ipod just dying, or too old for iTunes 7? Help!

Every time I plug in my iPhone 4 into iTunes, it always asks me if i want to "Set up as a new phone" or "restore from backup". But every time i click on restore from back up it deletes everything & that iTunes message is still there. Is something wrong with iTunes?
Apparently it does need to be restored because that is what it is requesting. You will need to restore it as New or from a recent backup if you made one.

I have to reinstall iTunes every time I connect my iPod
This has never happened to me before, but now my iTunes won't recognize my iPod Touch 2nd gen. I'm currently using Windows 7 64-bit. When I check the connected devices, "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" shows up under "Unspecified". I used the Apple-provided troubleshooter and checked if the driver is installed, which it is. All the appropriate services are set to start at my computer's boot and all are running. The last solution was to completely re-install iTunes, which I've done, and my iPod shows up in iTunes. The bad part, after I reboot my computer, the problem returns. It'll be a hassle to keep my computer on all the way and to reinstall every time I boot my computer. Any suggestions?
Refer to this article to restart AMDS.
