ITunes 11.2.2 freezes when syncing iphone or ipad

I am running iTunes 11.2.2 on Mac OS 10.9.3. I experience an issue with iTunes becoming unresponsive when either my iphone 5s (fully updated) and ipad 4th gen (fully updated) attempts to sync either wirelessly or with the cord. I have went through the apple trouble shooting and came up with no solution. I've also reinstalled iTunes with no luck. I am not able to transfer purchases or backup either device on my mac, including iBooks.
Any tips, suggestions, etc would be very appreciated!

My issue was resolved by deleting the sync services folder as discussed here: updated itunes 11.2 crashes after opening

  • Itunes 11.1.4 freezes when syncing with iphone

    Itunes 11.1.4 Periodically freezes when not syncing.  always freezes when starting to sync Iphone or ipad.  sometimes gets far enough to see Message: "ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later"  Trying again later does not help.  This did not happen with previous version of Itunes (for years)

    Hello Zach,
    It sounds like you are getting this error message when connecting your phone after a recent update. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get a resolution:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with the first steps to test iTunes in Safe Mode, and if needed, there is additional troubleshooting therein.
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Itunes 12.1.2 freezes when detecting iPhone in windows 7

    Hello!
    I've just reformatted my laptop and installed windows 7 home.
    did all the windows update, downloaded the latest iTunes 12.1.2 from Apple site.
    installed successfully. and is able to launch and play music. i've added in only one song to the library to just test.
    Here's the problem i'm facing now.
    - iTunes freezes if i tried to going to preferences via Edit > Preferences.
    - iTunes freezes when my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1) is plugged in. the iPhone appears under my computer, but iTunes is unable to detect/freezes.
    tried these methods
    - iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    - re-installing iTunes multiple times, restarted my iPhone multiple times
    - running iTunes on safe mode, but i doubt this will make any difference since there are no plugins installed.
    - phone does not have any podcasts/videos
    - tried running iTunes in compatibility mode
    - cable used is original apple cable
    - created another windows user account, same problem persist.
    - tried all 3 USB ports
    - uninstalling apple device drivers and installing
    - tried to revert back to iTunes 11.4 or older iTunes 12 version, but encounter installation errors with Apple Mobile Device.
    findings
    - iTunes 12.1.2 is able to detect my phone on windows8.1 (office machine)
    - able to access iPhone under my computer to retrieve images/videos
    - able to charge iPhone via USB
    - running iTunes diagnosis states that iTunes is unable to detect any iPod/iPhone/iPad when my iPhone 6 is plugged in
    - using iTunes with iPhone had been no issue before the windows re-installation with iTunes 11.4 (if i never remembered the version wrongly, it's the red icon iTunes)
    - Apple mobile device is working fine when i've checked under services.
    - Under device manager, the apple mobile device is shown up in the USB list
    would be grateful for any help! been trying to get this fixed to do a backup and sync my other stuffs.
    thanks in advance!

  • ITunes 11 (Win7) freezes when syncing iPhone 4S / Ipad2

    After installing iTunes 11 I can no longer sync my iPhone 4S or iPad 2 via either wifi or with the sync cable. Syncing was balky after the iOS6 rollout under the last version of iTunes 10, and it never worked over wifi (again, only after upgrading to iOS6), but at least I could get a cable sync to work about 60% of the time. I was hoping and praying that this issue would be fixed with the new iTunes, but sadly the situation has gone from bad to catastrophic. iTunes still fails to recognize or sync my devices over wifi, and now when I try doing a cable sync it appears that iTunes will recognize the device and attempt to start a sync, but I've never made it past step 2 before iTunes completely hangs, at which point I can only force it to shut down through the task manager. Of course it doesn't help that iTunes 11 is woefully sluggish on my two-year-old quad-core computer with 6GB RAM. That's even after restarting the system and launching iTunes with no other programs running.  APPLE: you seem to be in a very self-destructive mode these days. But I digress...
    If anybody has an idea of how I can make my iPad and iPhone sync again I will be very appreciative.

    I have the same problem.  I cannot sync or apply any settings to my iPhone in iTunes after upgrading to iTunes 11.  It just freezes/hangs.  I also found that since the upgrade to iOS 6 that the sync is problematic. 
    The only fix I have seen on-line is to completly wipe the iPhone and do a restore.  That is insane.

  • Spinning wheel in Photos tab when syncing iPhone or iPad with iTunes

    I can't be certain when this started, but when I attempt to sync both my iPad and iPhone photos through iTunes, I'm not presented with any options, just a spinning wheel that never finishes loading. I've looked in multiple discussions with similar problems but none of the solutions seem to help. So far, I've tried:
    Different USB cable.
    Creating new "dummy" libraries in both Aperture and iPhoto (local disks, not on network disks).
    Rebooting
    Restarting devices
    Permissions repair
    Repairing permissions in the Aperture library
    Rebulidng the iPhoto database.
    Deleting the iPod Photo Cache inside the Aperture library (which doesn't seem to get rebuilt)
    Updating the software.I was using 10.9.2 and 11.1.5 iTunes, but upgrading using the Mavericks public beta hoping that would fix it. It did not.
    In iTunes, going to File-->Home Sharing-->Choose Photos to share with AppleTV brings up the same spinning wheel.
    Deleting all kinds of preferences, com.apple.itunes, etc.
    Oddly enough, my wife's user account which has its own iPad and iPhone synced with its own iPhoto library is doing the exact same thing.
    I've spent hours on this and have no idea what else to do. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

    I think I fixed it thanks to the answers here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/10331322?messageID=10331322#10331322?messa geID=10331322
    It involves reloading the iLifeMediaBrowser from the Mavericks installer.

  • ITunes 7.0.1 freezes when syncing to iPod - any thoughts?

    I have a click-wheel iPod that's always synced fine with iTunes on my laptop. Upgraded to iTunes 7 to work with my girlfriends new 2nd gen Nano. Her iPod syned fine - no problems. When I connect my iPod it seems okay - and transfering Podcasts to it worked fine, but it deleted all my music from the iPod and now iTunes freezes when I try to sync the music back to it.
    Any thoughts???

  • Itunes freezes when syncing iphone

    I've just got a new pc laptop 64bit windows 7, have downloaded the latest 64bit itunes and have a brand new 32Gb 3GS iphone.
    When I attempt to sync my iphone, itunes freezes and I have to close it using task manager. I have read on the internet other ppl have had this problem.. but so far haven't found a fix that works for me.
    I've tried re-installing itunes and have restored factory settings on my iphone (frustratingly), but nothing seems to work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    SOLVED for me. I had the exact same problem and spent countless hours deleting apps, reinstalling Itunes etc on two windows based laptops and a new iMac. I was ready, after months of this, to go into an Apple store when I found a post on a website suggesting leaving the Iphone connected for hours. I connected my Iphone 3Gs, made sure nothing else was running and that the system wouldn't power down under my power saving settings. As usual Itunes froze (says "not responding" under "force quit" or ctrl-alt-del) but I walked away and the next morning - tada - Iphone was recognized and no problems since then. So give it a shot - I wish I had known it was that easy - all these months of rebooting and trying to find the solution online ! Lynn

  • HELP! iTunes won't show iPhoto when syncing iPhone 6

    PLEASE HELP!! I know this has been covered to some degree in other threads, but I haven't been able to solve this. My iTunes will not sync my iPhoto Library wih my iPhone 6.
    Basically, I bought a new iPhone 6, which was restored from backup. I was never an avid user of iPhoto in the past and because most of my photos come from a different camera and most of my pictures have been compiled through time, I never really saw the point in filling up my measly 16gb iPhone 4s with a bunch of pictures. So I never really synced my photos in the past.
    Now that I have a 128GB iPhone 6 I figured I could start sycing my pics and share them or whatever. I'd like to able to sync to my iPhoto Library via iTunes to my iPhone.
    So this is what happens. I can see my photos fine on iPhoto. When I connect my iPhone, only iPhoto launches and it 'll download any recent pics.
    When I launch iTunes, it'll detect my phone - BUT when I go to the Photos tab, when trying to sync to my iPhoto Library, the ONLY option I am given is to sync to "PICTURES" folder which contains my 'desktop pictures' folder with only 40 some pics... BUT IT ALSO HAS MY IPHOTO LIBRARY WHICH ITUNES WILL NOT PICKUP ON???
    Am I missing something?? thanks everybody in advance for helping me.

    When I go through Media... It shows me iPhoto and Photo Booth icon but prompts me to open iPhoto to see the photos... even though as you can see from the window in the background iPhoto is open....
    And thanks very much for taking the time to help btw...

  • ITunes 10.7(21) freezes when iPhone 4 (iOS 6) plugged in

    Hello,
    Since the latest iTunes update to 10.7, I can no longer plug in my iPhone, iPod without iTunes freezing. iTunes stops responding, and the only way to get out of it is to force quit.
    This occurs accross two 21" iMacs, one running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and one running Lion. All iDevices are up to date. iPhone 4 running iOS 6. It's an older iPod shuffle, but it worked and sync'd just fine up until the latest iTunes update.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • ITunes on PC does not crash when syncing IPhones but crashes halfway through IPad sync

    Itunes and Ipad on latest software iterations.
    When syncing IPhones all perform faultlessly. When I try to sync. my IPad ITunes crashes halfway through the process.
    For the last two weeks I have not been able to remove downloaded TV programmes via ITunes and have had to perform the removal via
    <Settings>General>Usage>Manage storage. One audiobook is not visible on ITunes and cannot be deleted by any method I have tried.
    I am storing all media on a WDCloud drive as I have over 1.3 TBytes of films, TV Programmes and audiobooks.
    I have tried repairing both ITunes and Quicktime to no avail.

    Hi Brendan
    Thanks for the reply.
    I noticed that the sync crashed at the point where it was downloading either Apps or Video (TV Progs). I tried a 'delete all media' reset yesterday. Problem still present and then I had no media or Apps other than some of the Apps as supplied on initial startup.
    Today I tried a different USB to Lightning lead and at one point I thought it was working with Wi-Fi sync but whilst it didn't crash, the Icons of the Apps that were present on the IPad before the problem occurred are in the same place as before but greyed out and the Apps obviously have not been loaded.
    Funnily enough I did a factory re-set just before you sent this so will post again if this works to help others. I believe this is going to be an IOS 8 problem like so many other IOS 8 problems I have found.
    Best wishes
