Why is itunes freezing when i sync to my touch

Everytime I use Itunes it freezes and im am using the newest version with windows XP.  Then if i try to sync my Ipod touch it freezes what is up with this and why is everyone having the same issue.  Is it because of the iCloud that i am having these problems.  I origianly signed up for iCloud but then realized that it did not sync all my music on to my ipod because i didn't buy more memory.  WHAT IS GOING ON CAN ANYONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
I've restarted my iPhone.
Restarted my iMac.
Re-installing iTunes.
Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
All with no success.
Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Why does iTunes freeze when movie download is processing and it will not restart the download but yet it billed my acct for payment already?

  • Music disappeared and ITunes freezes when re-syncing: Help!

    Yesterday all my music, photos, and video vanished from my 60 gb iPod. Naturally I tried to re-sync, but ITunes freezes every time I plug it in and immediately unfreezes when I unplug. The error message says "The iPod cannot be synced. The required folder could not be found." I went into preferences and checked "prevent devices from syncing automatically," but the iPod still tries to sync when I plug it in and it is impossible for me to adjust any settings within ITunes.
    I tried the check disk utility and my computer locks up. I also tried the manual reset, which seems to work, but I can't get the Disk Mode to work properly. When I looked in my iPod utilities, it said that iPod was almost full, yet I can't find any music or playlists despite being able to navigate the menus.
    Since the iPod itself seems to be working, I'd hate to have to junk this because some settings can't be adjusted. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Try putting the iPod into [Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363] to stop it from continuously rebooting. Then again attempt to restore the iPod through iTunes. Otherwise it may be the signs of a failing hard drive.
    I would maybe check up on taking advantage of the warranty you have on it.

  • ITunes freezes when iPod syncs

    Recently my iTunes freezes everytime my ipod syncs. I don't know the causes for it and when I try to add songs or videos it will freeze up everytime. Does anybody have a clue about this? My iPod is 4th generation iPod and I'm using a mac.
    Thank you

    - Try a reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Try just backing up the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. If successful then you can restore the iPod.
    - Also try here:
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    - However, you say you have Windows 9, that maybe causing the problem.

  • ITunes freezing when I sync 60GB Ipod, podcasts not completely downloading

    I've got a pentium 4 3.0 with 1GB of RAM running winXP pro. I just re-installed winxp after formatting the HD so everything should be clean. All it has on it is WinXP, Office 2007, Photoshop, and Itunes. When I connect my ipod, a 60GB video, itunes will freeze the entire computer up for a few minutes while it syncs. Also, many podcasts, most notobly "This american life" will only download about halfway (an hour long podcast will be 15 minutes or so long). This happens pretty consistently. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

  • Itunes 10.5.2 Freezes when i sync my iPod touch 3rd gen on ios 5

    I have to questions that i hope a member of the apple community can hopefully help me with here they are.
    1. I need a solution that is proven to work either by you or a video of some sort to help me with this issue.
    I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch (As it says as my title) its currently running ios 5 and itunes running 10.5.2. When i try to Transfer Purchases the Itunes Freezes completely. And as a result i have to open task manager and end process.
    2.Also My Ipod has chosen to freeze every now and again it basically freezes in the state where it looks like i have locked my screen so it like i have just pressed the lock button. So i try pressing the lock button again to see if that works which it didnt after i tried it with the home button and still no luck however it will randomly go back to normal as if it never happened.
    Please could someone answer these two questions it would be apprecicated.
    Regards.
    P.S thanks in advance

  • Why does iTunes freeze when I try to burn cds?

    Hi, when I try to burn cds, iTunes freezes. I have a Sony CD-RW CRX175A and I have been assured by Sony that I'm running the latest firmware.
    I was able to burn cds no problem two weeks ago. Then I removed an external hard drive and then plugged it back in later. To do this, I clicked an icon in the toolbar entitled "Safely Remove Hardware" and I'm wondering if I "removed" my cd burner or something. This is the only thing I can think of.
    Regardless of what I wrote above, can anyone help me? I teach dance and not being able to burn cds in iTunes is making life difficult. THANK YOU!!!

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
    Check the Windows Update website to verify that you have the latest service packs and patches for your OS. Service packs affect the performance of USB and firewire CD / DVD drives.

    Please help me if you can. Thankfully I can still burn cds no problem with Windows Media Player. For some reason iTunes just can't make it happen. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and I know I have the latest drivers for my cd burner. Any suggestions?
    Thank you,

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my iPod Touch 4 in and it won't sync.

    Ok guys,
         So recently, I have had MAJOR problems with my iPod touch (not jailbroken) and they're driving me INTO INSANITY!!! So, a few weeks ago, I added a movie I downloaded onto my iTunes. All **** broke loose from there. At first I wasn't able to sync. My iPod was detected but it wouldn't sync unless I restored it. Later, it began to not sync unless I plugged it into my computer without iTunes up. iTunes began to freeze and become unresponsive. When it froze, it would began to actually sync, just not say. Then it began to not sync at all, and now I can't do anything.
         I am at my witts end. I am deperate. I have tried averything under the sun from deleteing practically everything on my iTunes to updating iTunes to trying to reset Bonjour. Down below are links to every problem I have. They keep piling on each other to where I can't find just one post to describe. And these people decribe it better than I do. Can anyone help? I don't want to have to reset iTunes or re-install. I have precious apps that NEED to be backed up.

    I forgot to mention, whenever it does sync, it just gets stuck staying "verrifying ipod".
    Try having that topped off with freezing.

  • My itunes freezes when I sync my Itouch

    HELP! My itunes account freezes at step 3/3 determining tracks to sync, whenever I plug in my itouch 2nd generation.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and I don't know what to do! I can't call tec support because my warranty is expired.  I did download some youtube to mp3 files onto itunes but it worked after I did that so I don't know why that would be the problem.  I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions on how to get my account to stop working!
    Thank you!

  • My itunes freeze when i sync my iphone on my windows 7 laptop. how do i fix it?

    my pc freezes every time i sync my iphone 4 and then i have to force shut down

    Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with another library, it will erase the current contents of the iPod and replace them with the contents from the new library.
    If you have content you need to copy from your iPod back to your iTunes library, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do this.

  • Itune freezes when i sync my iphone

    i got a brand new iphone 4 today and i set it up as a new phone but when i tried sycing my conacacts etc it jus freesez ive left it for nearly four hurs now its jus not doing anything plz help

    Then why does your profile say "iPhone 4, Other OS, ios 5"??  It would also help if you used punctuation and sentences.
    How far did you get with activation?  Are you syncing your contact with an app on your computer (i.e Outlook)?

  • My itunes freezes when i connect my ipod touch?

    I have had my 4th gen. 8GB iPod Touch for about 8 months now. It has worked perfectly, up until now. When i plug my iPod in, iTunes finds it( after about 30 seconds) and it just shows the little icon showing that it's syncing, or loading. It keeps doing that, and when I click on it nothing happens. I cannot access my iPod at all and i tried reseting it but that didn't help. It just deleted all my music so now im screwed. I have updated iTunes to the latest, as well as my ipod to iOS 5.1.1. I have reset my computer, reinstalled iTunes, but nothing helps. If anyone has experianced this, I need help. Thanks.

    Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and connecting to your computer and restoring via iTunes.

  • ITunes freezes when trying to upgrade iPod touch software

    I just purchased the iPod upgrade software, the iPhone 2.2 software upgrade. As iTunes is backing up my iPod touch, it freezes before it can finish the job. This has happened 3 times now, and I am still unable to update my iPod version.

    Sorry. I just needed to restart my MacBook.

    Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ?  My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed.  Sometimes it's changing the title of a movie or editing the season and episode number of a TV show ect.....

    Yup same here
    I am running the latest iTunes, the latest updates to the OS and on an iMac 3.4GHz Quad core i7 with 8GB of RAM and the music stored on local HDD.
    Still locks up iTunes for between 2 minutes up to 20 minutes.
    Really annoying.
