Connecting Ipod freezes Itunes and My Computer
I know it's not a problem with the Ipod itself since I can connect it just fine to my laptop, with the same cable, and I can update it no problem, with the computer recognizing it as a drive.
On my PC however, when I try to connect my Ipod, it freezes up ITunes if it's open. If it's not open then I can't open ITunes. When I go to My Computer, it doesn't show up as a removable drive, and if it does, I can't open it. The Ipod also displays "Do Not Disconnect" but I have to or else my computer doesn't shut down, and/or ITunes/My Computer doesn't unfreeze until I unsafely remove it while the msg is on. The arrows in the upper left (20 GB click wheel) sometimes appear sporadically but not often. I'm thinking this is a process problem or something. I didn't install anything new, this just randomly happened one day recently and now this computer and my ipod are totally incompatible. This is really annoying as I can't transfer files to this computer anymore and this computer has about 500 of my newest songs which I can't transfer to my ipod since I can't connect my ipod to this computer. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I'd say uninstall iTunes and reinstall it. I always get a pause, but it's a HUGE lag in actuality. Dunno what causes it since I have a fantastic rig... But I'm sure you've ruled this out as being a lag-spurt.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.

I forgot to mention that I did try uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling it to no avail, as well as uninstalling the ipod software that came with the cd and reinstalling it.
 This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Is this a sudden glitch or has it always persisted? Are you using something like XP 64?
Have ya checked the support forums for iTunes? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

After uninstalling it, try running CCleaner to clear the registry out of all of the iTunes-related stuff. It might be a conflict in the program that isn't getting cleared out after you uninstall it.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
