iTunes keeps freezing!!!

timberflake

I've not long updated my iTunes and now every time I load it with I iPods pluged in it freezes up. If I start it with my iPods disconnected its fine but as soon as I connect them it stops responding. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be??

What version are you running? What IPOD is it?

Its version 7.7.0.43. I've got two ipods, I 1gb 1st gen nano and a 32gb touch. The problem only seems to occur when the touch is connected. Any idea's?

Are you running it on a Mac or Windows?

I get the same thing on my Mac. Whenever I connect my iPod, iTunes freezes. The iPod eventually shows up after two or three minutes.

It seems to be a bug in iTunes 7.7.

Not interested in alternatives. My PC has never had any problems running it before, just want it fixed!

Does the iPod show up eventually?

As I said above, mine does this, and it seems to be a known bug in iTunes 7.7.
