iTunes freezes after upgrading to Windows 7 SP1 German

yeah still freezing on me as well

i did unplug and plug, sometimes it didnt work, sometimes it works

apple help

Does anyone have tried with Win7 SP1 with Itunes 10.2 (new version) to see if the ipod still freeze or get some problems ?

I have problem yet.. after install Itunes 10.2.
It makes me crazy..

it still freezing, no fixed are made in that version

I am having the same problem, this is on Windows 7 SP1 (USA version) and has only started happening since I took the new version of iTunes today.

Been having similar issues with lockups with iPhone & iTunes 10.x running Windows 7 Service Pack 1...

Try this... Run iTunes in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode... Right click on iTunes shortcut, select Properties, Compatibility tab, select Windows 7 from the Compatibility Mode drop-down list, and click OK.

(You can get rid of the Compatibility Mode warning message by going into the Registery and removing the following entry (Remember to make an Export backup before making any changes)
In RegEdit navigate to:
HKEY CURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
Delete following key:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe = WIN7RTM

thats all guys

Open Itunes
Open Task manager
Click on process tab

Connect device, Ipod, Iphone, Ipad
Wait for it to show up in Itunes
Swap to applications tab in Task manager
If Itunes is not responding
Disconnect device and reconnect while viewing process tab

If still goes not responding in applications tab
Closed Itunes
Disconnect device

Start over

Open Itunes
Open task manager and view process tab
Connect device

Windows 7 SP1 has some changes that may be causing the issue

I have the problem with an Ipod 2G

When connecting a device, it is using the conhost.exe process that is getting hung on loading, then another instance loads

The problem is not Itunes, it is with the way Windows 7 SP1 is looking at hardware

I reported the issue to Microsoft Support, but 'till now I didn't get an answer...as soon as I know more I will tell you! Hopefully Microsoft is gonna release a patch soon.

Did someone tried to see if it still freezes after installing iTunes 10.2.1?

Did you uninstall SP1 and then reload it through the full iso SP1 file on Microsoft Downloads site
if not that is possibly why it hasn't worked
Downgrading to 10.1 is fine but you won't be able to install 4.3 on Friday it needs 10.2.0.34

I have the same issue. I have tried the USB fix from the mydigitallife site and no difference. However I can confirm that stopping apple mobile device service will unlock the iTunes process but of course there is no iPhone nor iPad in iTunes.

I also tried removing apple devices from device manager and same results, nothing.

I had the same problem with iTunes 10.2.1.1 and my iPhone 3G running Win7 (64 bit). PLug in the 3G and iTunes stops. Unplug the 3G and it runs again. I installed the Win7 SP1 and still didn't help. I then applied...
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2488113)
and now it works.
My 3G is now syncing.

I'm having the same problem. I have KB2488113 installed already and it doesn't help. I also applied the USB driver fix at http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/24666-The-Windows-7-SP1-USB-Driver-Bug- %28what-it-is-and-how-to-fix-it%29 (at http://code.kliu.org/.etc/7601usbfix/) because two of my system files were actually the old version. However, it still didn't help. (Each thing I try seems to work the first time, but after unplugging the phone and plugging in back it, the problem is back.)

Yes, restart the Apple Mobile Device service sometime gets it going, but this is a nasty workaround, not a fix.

I spent about two hours on the phone today with Apple and it's now getting escalated to their software engineers.

I'm using iTunes 10.2.1.1

No Need for USB fix It's already fixed with Windows Updates and it does not help in anyway.
