iTunes Crashes During Sync Post 2.2.1 Upgrade – FIX

Posted on February 3, 2009

ITunes began crashing on Super Bowl Sunday after I upgraded my iPod Touch to the latest firmware, version 2.2.1 — Since then I have reinstalled iTunes, did a factory restore of the iPod to no avail.

A few minutes ago I was looking through the Apple discussion groups and came across this fix by Jeff McCord. It is a simple one when you think about it:

  1. Deauthorize your computer
  2. Authorize it again
  3. Visit the App Store and “Buy” a free app
  4. Sync up

I am a happy camper again. All my music, movies, videos and audio books are back!
