Sync File Corruption with 64-bit Vista/iTunes

I'm getting some file corruption problems when trying to sync my new 16GB iPhone with the latest 64-bit iTunes (7.6.0.29). "yes I have the 64-bit version".
The sync seems to go correctly, but I have yet to be able to play any videos all the way through. Videos purchased from iTunes as well as self encoded files. All said files were working on my 60GB iPod Video with previous versions of iTunes on the same 64-bit Vista machine.
The videos will start playing fine, but will eventually reach a point in the file that was corrupted during transfer, the audio will drop out and the video will distort, then it exits from the video as if it reached the end of the file. No error messages or anything. If I play the file again, it will do the same thing at the exact same spot, so its a problem in the file. Now, if I remove the file and add it back, the file still has the same problem, but in a different location, which means the source is fine, but the copy to the device during the sync is the issue.
To test, I synced the exact same content from my notebook which is 32-bit XP, and zero problems. So I'm currently just using my notebook for syncing at the moment.
Anyone else with 64-bit Vista have a similar issue?

Hello
I have a couple troubleshooting steps I would like you to try. I myself do not have a 64 bit Vista so I can not test this to confirm if the same issue occurs or not.
1. Attempt to Sync content using each of the USB Ports. See if all USB Ports pose the same issue with the video. Or if you found when where it does not occur.
2. Test on a new user on the Vista Machine. If possible take at least one or 2 movies and copy them onto a flash drive or something. And bring them into iTunes on a new user account. You may need to Authorize that user and De-authorize when your done. Does the same issue occur?
3. If you perform a reboot on the iPhone, Then Sync Data over. Does the same issue occur?
4. If possible could you restore the iPhone. Then Re-sync and see if same issue occurs.
5. Is this happening with all videos? or only certain ones? Does the corruption occur at the same time frame every time? If so is it the same time frame for all videos or slightly different?
6. Perform an Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes on your system, See if same issue occurs.
Let us know how it goes.

I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...

Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?

Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

How To Get Ipod Touch 2nd Gen to work with 64 bit Vista / Vista Ultimate

Okay, so I just got me a 2nd Gen Ipod Touch for X-Mas..I decided to take a break and get this puppy installed on my HP Tablet. Like many of you, I struggled in frustrations. I hate Apple Support. Notice their method to resolve all of their issues in regards to Itunes not working or Touch not working is to just REINSTALL ITUNES....doesnt solve anything. I have a solution.
For many of you, this may work, for those that are experiencing the same problem, please read below.
What I am using:
HP Tablet TX1000
Platform: Windows Vista - Ultimate 64 Bit.
I downloaded the 64 bit version of Itunes 8.02...hoping the thing will work, and still after plugging in my brand new ipod... i get an error message saying.
"The IPOD you are using is not recognized by this version of Itunes, please delete and reinstall with 64 bit version of Itunes."
However I did install the 64 bit version of ITUNES on my Vista. Before you guys delete and reinstall again. Do this first to confirm that my solution will help.
Open up Itunes, go to help, click on Run Diagnostics. Select only, Ipod/Iphone Connectivity tests and hit next.
If your Apple Mobile Device Service is RED, it means its not installed or not activated. Please read apple forums for the reactivation of AMDS. *If you are like me and did that help, and realized its not installed,* something on vista is preventing the install.
Do the following.
1) Delete ITUNES Completely. When asked for a restart, click No.
2) Go to the C:\Program Files\Common Files and look for the Apple Folder and delete that puppy too.
3) Redownload the 64 bit Installed and save to your desktop. You will need this later. DONT INSTALL NOW.
4) Go to the Start/Circle Menu and on the bottom, type RUN in the Search and select the Run Program.
4) Type msconfig and hit enter.
5) When the Program pops up, in the General, DE-select normal startup and select. SELECTIVE START UP. and deselect/leave blank START UP ITEMS
6) Move over to the Start Up Tab, DESELECT ANY VIRUS SCAN PROGRAM You Have Running.
7) Click Apply then OKAY, and Exit that window.
8) Now RESTART your computer.
9) Reinstall ITUNES as done before.
10) Go to HELP...run the diagnostics as before and your Apple Mobile Device should be green Now.
11) Close that window. Connect your IPOD.
12) iTUNES should now recognize your IPOD.
After it works. Go back to MSCONFIG...and on General, put Normal Start Up. Click Okay. Restart.
Hope that works.
If IPOD is still not recognized, then its a driver issue and I dont know.
The problem I was having was due to Apple Mobile Device Services not being installed.
Sincerely,
Dr. SkiLLz. M.D.

This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.

IPHOTO 09 WONT SYNC SELECTED ALBUMS WITH IPHONE 4 VIA ITUNES

I am posting this as a question and will proceed to answer it as per the solution provided by Applecare case id
265819669
System
I run Powemac G5 OSX 10.5.8 Leopard, iLife 09 and iPhone 4 & iPad2
Software versions are iPhoto 09 V 8.1.2, iTunes and iOS 5.01 on theiPad and iPhone
Problem 1
Following software updates on all my devices I began to run into sync problems with my iphone 4, namely error message 1104
On contacting my mobile service provider they suggested:
connect iphone to itunes, selected photo tab and untick the box sync photos from iphoto then proceed to sync
Solution 1
This allowed iphone 4 to sync thus eliminating my 1104 error message problem
Problem 2
iPhone 4 will no longer sync selected albums, events and faces with iPhone 4
After level 3 escalation within Apple the problem was reffered to iphoto computer support who delievered this fix.
It was identified as a problem with my iphoto library not being seen by itunes despite my iphoto library functioning normally (or so I thought).
Solution 2 (I will try and articulate this as best as I can)
Open iPhoto app whilst alt key is depressed
select/ locate the iphoto library source file from your hard drive which itunes is using. This now tells you where iphoto library resides ie this is your library in which all your photos slideshows and star rating data resides.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS FIX IT WAS AGREED TO RESTORE AN EARLIER VERSION OF MY IPHOTO LIBRARY FROM A TIME MACHINE BACKUP - TIME MACHINE SAVED THE DAY HERE - TAKE HEED - BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP. BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER, I WOULD RECOMMEND BACKING UP AT THIS STAGE, JUST FOR SAFETY SAKE.
Go to Time machine, locate iPhoto library and then select restore.
The file will be restored to it's original location and you can now begin to work on the fix without jeopardising your original library
Close iphoto, and reset system
Open iPhoto with alt key depressed, select the recently restored file
Open itunes and try and sync your iOS device
Does the selected, albums and faces tabs in Photo tab now work? If so problem solved, if not read on.
Restart system
Open iPhoto with the alt and command key depressed
(You will be working on the restored file as iphoto located this automatically when opening - see previous note)
a list of boxes will appear detailing repair permission etc - ensure all are ticked and follow instruction to rebuild reorganise the iphoto library. Sorry for being vague here but I can't remember the screen details.
Let iphoto rebuild the iPhoto library file
close iPhoto and restart system
Try the sync process again in itunes. Does the Photo tab option whick allows you to select pictures, albums and faces should now work?
If so, problem solved, well almost. If not, refer for further help.
Given you have just cured the problem with a restored backup iPhoto library file, should you need to work on your most recent file since that back up, repeat solution 2 from the beggining. Once complete, you will need to move the iPhoto library file which didn't sync to the trash.
Should you have events in your originl iPhoto library which don't reside in your backup file, export these events into folders by using export "current" feature in iPhoto, then drage them bag into your new library once your problem is solved.
USE GREAT CAUTION HERE, DON'T DELTE YOUR TRASH UNTIL YOU HAVE TESTED EVERYTHING WORKS CORRECTLY.
I hope this helps someone, if so please let me know.

Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

How do I sync one iPhone with two laptops using iTunes (not iCloud)?

I just got a new iPhone 4S and want to sync it with two separate laptops (using the simple cable procedure, not iCloud) -- my old(er) MacBook Pro2.2 15", with Intel Core 2 Duo running System 10.5.8, and my new MacBook Pro with Intel Core i7 running Lion.
I tried this once before and got chaos -- syncing on the second laptop gave me multiple entries in my calendar and address book. I don't want to go through this again until I know the right procedure, if there is one.

When you get your new laptop repaired, transfer your iTunes library & other important data to your new computer. When you first sync your phone to this computer, all iTunes content will be erased from your phone. However since you've copied your iTunes library to your new computer, just sync the content back to your phone.

Hi I can't sync my ipod with new version of itunes after losing old pc

Hi my old pc crashed and burned taking with it my entire itunes library. thought i'd backed up onto external hard drive but can't find anything. Atleast i still have a full ipod. However i've downloaded itunes onto my new laptop and when i try to sync with my ipod to put those tunes into the libray it says 'this ipod is synced with another itunes library. do you want to erase this ipos and sync with this itunes library'. If i do that i have nothing left. How can i 'un sync' the old computer that is no longer in existence. Hope someone can help, would be a shame to lose everything! Thanks Mary

Apple Mobile Device Support is part of the itunes install package. To install it by itself would require downloading itunes to your desktop then using something like WinRar to extract it. Quite frankly, trying to go this route can create more problems than you have right now. Something in your system is preventing AMDS from being installed. Your USB drivers up to date? Install any webcams lately? When you try to reinstall itunes, are your firwalls. ant-virus, ant-malware disabled? If I were you, I'd look at this stuff first. If you want to try & install AMDS separately, I've told you how, but I don't recommend it.

File corruption with a very large .ai file

A little background first:
I am a graphic designer/cartographer with 15+ years of experience. I started making maps in Illustrator with version 6 and have upgraded to every version since.
My machines:
2x Mac Pro 8-core 3.0GHz, 16GB RAM, 10.5.7
Mac Pro quad-core 2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, 10.5.7
MacBook Pro 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, 10.5.7
Illustrator specs:
All machines have CS4 installed as well as Illustrator 10.
The 8-core MPs have the MAPublisher Plug-ins installed
The 4-core and MacBook Pro (MBP) does not have the MAPublisher Plug-ins
The problem I am having can be replicated on each of the machines. The MBP can't handle the file due to RAM. Since this occurs on machines that has MAPublisher installed and a machine that does not, I think we can rule out a plug-in issue.
File specs:
The original file: version 10, file size (uncompressed, no PDF support, and no font-embedding) is 36.4 MB. There are no raster effects or embedded/placed images. This is strictly a vector file. Artboard Dimensions: 85.288 in x 81.042 in
The original file, converted with CS4, and then saved as a CS4 file: file size (uncompressed, no PDF support, and no font-embedding) is 97.9 MB.
Brief Description of the problem:
I have tried to convert this file into every version of CS and it has failed every time. With each version, it has resulted in an unusable file for different reasons. CS-CS3, the file was completely unusable because of the opening/saving time. It could take as long as 3 hours to save the file. With CS4, this has been rectified and I once again tried to convert it. Upon re-opening of the 'converted' CS4 native file, the file is 'corrupted'.
The file corruption is not your regular "This file can't be opened because of: X" corruption. The file opens after a save/close just fine. It is just that parts of the file gets destroyed. To save space in this post, I have created a webpage that illustrates the problem that I am having:
http://newatlas.com/ai_problem/
I have tried everything possible to make the file smaller and it is as slimmed down as I can make it. (Using symbols, styles, etc.) I have also tried to eliminate this as a font problem by replacing every font with an Adobe supplied font, cleared caches, etc. This does not work, so I think we can rule out a font issue. I have also reduced this file to contain no pattern fills, no gradients, and just used simple fills and strokes. All to no avail. I have also tried piecing the file back together into a new document by copying/pasting a layer at a time. Saving, closing and re-opening after each paste cycle. I can get about 95% of it put back together and then it will manifest the problem. The only thing I haven't done is to convert all of the type to outlines. This would not solve my problem since this is a map that I continually work on year after year. I also can't remove objects or cut the overall area of the map because this file is used to produce an atlas book, a wall map and custom boundary wall maps. You can view the entire file at:
http://okc.cocpub.com
If I do not convert the legacy text, the file saves/closes/re-opens just fine. It just takes a very long time. So this leads me to think that the cause of the problem is the number of editable type objects that this file has. Ever since Adobe changed the Type Engine, I haven't been able to use this file in current versions of Illustrator.
If I could get this file to open, uncorrupted, I could finally get rid of Illustrator 10. Illustrator 10 does not have any problem with this file (and is still faster than CS4 in everything except selecting a lot of objects.)
I am posting this on the forums for any other opinions/ideas from the 'Illustrator Gurus' as a first step. I want to get in contact with someone at Adobe to see if we can address this problem and possibly get it fixed with CS5. I know that this is a user-to-user forum, but I'm not sure who, where and how to contact Adobe for this issue. Maybe someone on these forums can help with that as well.
Thank you for your patience for getting this far in my long post and I would really appreciate any response.
Dave

Thanks Wade for responding,
Did you try trashing your Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder in your User's Preferences?
Yes, I've tried deleting prefs. Basically I've tried to rule out any problems with Illustrator as a whole. This issue has also occured on a clean install of OS X and Illustrator on a new User Account with the opening of this file being the first task that Illustrator has. There is no problem with Illustrator per se, but I think it is more of a limitation in Illustrator based on the number of type objects.
You could also try saving it out of 10 as a pdf or as postscript and distilling it then open that in ai or place it id a blank AI document.
Did you try to place instead of opening it?
I haven't tried any of these since the resulting file would be utterly unusable. Basically this would create a 'flat' file with 'broken' strings of text (type on a path especially) and type being uneditable. (Now that I think about it, CS4 does a much better job of opening pdfs without breaking type.) I still think this approach is not really a prudent course of action since, as of now, I can continue to maintain this map in Illy 10.
In my experimentation, the results are as follows:
1. Opening the file without updating the legacy type, saving the file as a new document, closing and then re-opening results in a file you would expect. Every object is where it is supposed to be. Downfall of this method: I absolutely need the type to be editable, especially the 'Street Type' since this type is actually used to create map indexes.
2. Opening the file with updating the legacy type, saving the file as a new document, closing and then re-opening results in a file that exhibits the exact behavior that has been posted in the thread-starter. This method results in the 'Bruce Gray' type being the duplicated item.
3. Opening the file without updating the legacy type, then splitting the file into layer groups and saving as separate files. Then opening the resulting CS4 files, updating the legacy type, copy & pasting (with layer structure) into a new document results in a usable file up to a point. I can get about 95% of it put back together and then the problem manifests. I have thought that it might be a "bad" object on one of the layers but I have ruled that out by: a.) All of the resulting sub-files (files that are portions of the larger) exhibit no problems at all. Usually our PS printers find issues that Illy does not and there is no problem in RIPing the sub-files. b.) If I change the paste order, meaning copying & pasting from the top-most layers to the bottom-most layers, vice-versa, and a completely random paste order, different objects (other than the 'Bruce Gray' type) will be duplicated. I've had one of my park screens, a zip code type object and a school district boundary be the duplicated object.
All of these experiments has lead me to believe that the Illustrator Type Engine is the main facilitor. I just don't think it can handle that many individual point type objects. I know CS4 can handle the number of objects, based on the fact that a legacy type (non-updated) file works.
I am almost entirely sure that Illustrator is working exactly as it is supposed to and that the vast majority of Illy users will never run into this issue. This file is by far the largest file that I work on. I would just like to be able to use an Intel native version of CS to continue maintaining this map.
On a side note: About three years ago, I tried working with this file in Freehand MX. Freehand initially would open the Illy file without a problem. I could work on it but when I would save it as a Freehand file, close it and re-open it, I would get your standard File Corruption. It would partially open, give me a corruption dialog, and open the file as a blank document. I alwa ys knew there was a reason to use Illustrator over Freehand for making maps.

Functionality to sync local speakers with distant speakers in iTunes 6 gone

In version 6 of iTunes it was possible to sync distant speakers with local speakers even though it often resulted with an error. Now in version 7 it is no longer possible. With your Airfoil one can "monitor locally" but the sound is out of sync with the distant speakers. It was the main reason I bought an Airport Express and I now feel cheated.
I previously posted a subject about the error but it went unanswered (Topic: Unknown Error -3256 with itunes).

I'm using iTunes 7 and Airport Express and i don't have any problem. i'm always listening the music on local and wireless on the same time and it's never out of sync. !!!
You must have a problem somewhere, maybe you should re-install iTunes 7.
Maybe is an error on the Window version only (Viva Mac)

Appleworks file corruption with Time Capsule

i've been working on multiple word processing files in appleworks the last couple of days when my time capsule begins to backup. every time i've had files open, they have been corrupted, and would not save. also, in my finder, i find these files labeled as huge strings of numbers and capital letters. i can open them and it's the last version i saved before the time capsule kicked in. (however, it's sort of like a ghost file - -i can see it, but i can't save any new information). now i'm paranoid and saving constantly, in case the time capsule pops up while i'm working! anyone else have this corrupt file problem with their time capsule? (we just got it, and we run leopard)

sorry.. i've been away for awhile..
no, i am talking about files which i have PREVIOUSLY created (say "dog.cwk") and have open, and am in the process of changing data when the time capsule clicks in. when the time capsule goes no while i am working in the file, two things happen. 1) i cannot resave the file, and must rename it to get it to save (so i will now have 2 files, dog.cwk and dog1.cwk) AND at the same time a file is automatically created that is named something like this:MAD321E581167430232-8119 (an actual file name that was created during one of these occurences). so i end up with 3 files: the original, the one i had to create to resave, and a third file that i don't know exists until i go into the hard drive to find out where my original went!
also, if i save again while the time capsule is on, i can save to dog1.cwk, but it might create another file called MAD321E581167430232-8119-1. i've only had this happen once, but it's still weird.
so, i am working on one file and i end up with 3 or 4.. and i can access and work in the original, but can't SAVE any changes.
now i find out it happens in my photoshop files as well - so it looks like a time capsule issue or a hard drive issue, rather than just a single software issue.

Kernel panics, graphic file corruption with Firewire

I've been having consistent problems with Firewire since I got my Mac Pro last year. I only recently narrowed it down to Firewire so I thought I'd write it up here for the record.
I never actually solved the problem, just started using USB-2 instead and the issues went away.
--I had been getting pretty consistent kernel panics while doing backups or large file transfers to an external FW drive. I tried a few different drives and cables and the panics were consistent.
--I also noticed a strange problem where graphic files I'd backed up (TIFF, JPEG, etc.) would have these single-pixel horizontal streaks running through them. This was a little disconcerting because it wasn't picked up during verification, it was just there when I opened the backup file.
I found lots of people with FW problems in these forums but none mentioned that strange file corruption I got.
I'll try FW again after a future system software upgrade but I'm giving up on it for now.

T400 came with 32 bit Vista but want to upgrade to 64 bit Vista...

Hi All,
Just received my T400 not too long ago. It came with Vista Home Premium 32-bit preinstall. A 64-bit Vista Home Premium was not offered. My T400 was ordered with 4 GB of RAMs.
I have already created a set of 32-bit Vista Home Premium restore discs. I was wondering whether I can request a set of 64-bit Vista Home Premium restore discs from Lenovo. I wanted the 64-bit version of Roxio Creator Business Edition that should be bundled with the 64-bit version OS.
Thanks in advance for those who offered help.

The product key for your T400 will work for both 32-bit and 64-bit of the Windows Vista version that was preinstalled on your ThinkPad. You can install and legally activate Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit using that product key.
\\ I do not respond to PM regarding individual tech support. Keep discussions in the forum for the benefit of others //

Time stamps in mov files created with iPhone and Vista

This has to do with the time stamps for movies created with the iPhone 3GS. When I directly view the files on the iPhone in Vista, it populates the "date taken" field. However, when I copy the files from the iPhone onto my desktop computer, I no longer see the "date taken" field. Any suggestiosn?

Just wanted to repost this question and see if anyone has any thoughts...thanks.

HT5868 Unable to sync iPhone 5 with latest version of iTunes

Since updating to version 11.1.4 of iTunes, I am unable to sync my iPhone 5 with my PC. When connecting to the PC, I get a message asking whether I want to trust this computer. Since I've synced with it about a hundred times already, obviously I clicked on Trust.
After clicking on Trust, my PC is able to access the photos/etc on the phone - but iTunes will not sync. Further, it does not remember that I have selected to Trust the PC. (I also opted to Not Trust one time, and it didn't remember that either.)
My PC is running Windows 8, but it was perfectly happy to sync my iPhone 5 before this latest iTunes update, which seems to have broken something pretty fundamental. Apple, please issue a fix, or alternatively let me go back to 11.1.3 (which was working absolutely fine for me).

Did I suggest that you were Apple? Do you believe that every comment mentioning an Apple product is aimed at you personally? Or that, if someone sounds off in a moment of frustration, it is directed at you? Or that you need to point out interminably that Apple don't actually monitor these threads? Because, if you do... get help!
If you look at the thread you will see that someone else (you know, one of those pleasant people I mentioned?) *has* helped - and I'm genuinely grateful! Thank you!

CHM File Compatibility with 64-bit Applications

Does anyone have any experience developing HTML Help (CHM)
for 64-bit applications? Are the 32-bit CHM files created with
RoboHelp compatible on the 64-bit platform? Thanks for your
help!

Hi,
I happened to notice this post and thought, "Yikes, we run
our CHM files on 64-bit systems all the time and we've never
checked whether they're working properly."
So I did a systematic check of the following on a 64-bit
system (Windows 2003 Server). Fortunately, everything worked
exactly as it does on 32-bit versions. Phew!
Context sensitive help works (pressing F1 in the application).
All links worked, including popup links.
All expanding and dropdown hotspots worked.
Both Index and Contents worked fine. Contents updated
automatically when I move between topics (as is specified in our
project).
Search functionality worked fine. Search options, too.
Favorites worked fine. These reappeared even when I closed the
help and reopened it (as they should).
All of the above also worked when I opened the CHM file from
Windows Explorer (rather than from inside the application).
Regards,
Eileen
P.S. I should add that the help was compiled using RH7.
