"Sync in Progress" never completes

Sync will work if contacts, calendar and mail accounts are unchecked.
Otherwise, just hangs and "syncs" forever…
Have tried resetting sync history (as suggested in these forums and on support help page), resetting phone, etc.… to no avail…

A couple of things to check out.
Try checking just contacts and make sure sync contacts is set to address book.
Also, if setting just one does not work, try creating a new login on your computer.
Open address book and ical.
Ender a test contact into address book.
Enter a test event into ical.
Now open itunes and go through the initial setup.
Connect your iphone and try just syncing address book then ical.
merge the data.

  • IPod sync never completes, if I cancel the sync a large portion of my music disappears

    Hi, hopefully someone here can help!
    I have recently had an issue with my iPod touch and iTunes 12.0.1.26. It has been a bit of a pain to sync ever since that update that screwed up other people's iThings but I hadn't had a problem in a few months. Now whenever I try to sync it will take a long time and never complete, always getting hung up on the last step before anything is transferred. If I unplug or cancel I get an error box that says the iPod couldn't be recognised and the sync failed to start even though it would get through to that last bit after backing itself up. After each failed attempt the Other data section becomes bigger until I get another error saying that there is not enough space on my iPod for everything, sometimes it is over capacity by 10GB. Every time this happens I end up with less and less music on my iPod until I get incomplete playlists and entire albums wiped off. After this the only solution seems to be a factory reset and restore from backup, which I have done twice already this week.
    My phone will sync with no issues so I am not sure if it is a software or hardware problem. Its winding me up, anyone have any ideas? I have already removed and reinstalled iTunes and have done a reset on the iPod.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another USB port
    - Try another cable
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Windows 7 x64 Syncing Never Completes. iTunes Crashes At The End

    I have had my ipod touch 3g for half a year now. First I used to use it on 32bit Windows 7, but recently I upgraded my machine and run 64bit Windows 7. It has been running well for the past few months but all of a sudden I have been getting a lot of error messages as well as iTunes not being able to complete syncing.
    Everything starts normally, but iTunes crashes right near the END, after all the files have been copied. You can almost smell the "Sync complete, ok to disconnect" text. Please check image.
    http://i44.tinypic.com/25jupli.png
    If I let it be, then Windows eventually gives you a iTunes has crashed dialog box.
    I have tried EVERYTHING. Have restored my ipod dozens of times. Have tried 9.1, 9.03 and 9.02 both in 32bit and 64bit variants. Nothing seems to work.
    Funny thing is, if I go back to my old machine with the 32bit Windows 7, the ipod syncs just fine.
    So I am guessings it's either a problem with my machine, or some problem with iTunes and 64bit Windows 7.
    Please help!

    I've had the exact same problem since the last update. It just keeps saying "Sync in Progress" and nothing changes until I stop it. I've tried resetting, reinstalling, etc.
    I have noticed three things:
    It is sync'ing at least partially...
    I unchecked some photo files and it took those photo files off. But now I've added them back and it won't put any photo files onto my iPhone.
    If I check/uncheck iTunes U then hit apply it will actually say "Sync Complete" but it still hasn't put my pictures back on the phone.
    Also...just something that I don't like...apparently the ability to mark a podcast as "played" or "watched" is no longer available as an option at the podcast level and they have to be cleared at the individual episode level...that's totally annoying cause now I have to go through and "mark as played" for each podcast.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    you need to find mobileID for your installation and go to monitor - that will give you more details on what is happening with sync process.
    Please refer to this link:

  • 3g iphone syncs for hours while but never completes

    I have a 3g iphone which indicates it is syncing but never completes. I have worked with the online support as well as my local genius office, with no luck in resolving these issues. I have deleted my bookmarks to see if that would resolve the problem with the syncing only to have the problem occurs while syncing the contacts. I am not getting any error messages.

    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

    Hello Marcia,
    Sorry you are having trouble syncing content with your iPhone 5. I found an article that might help with this syncing issue:
    iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3219
    Also, you can delete the songs from the iPhone without syncing by just swiping from left to right over the song to get a delete button. 
    I hope this helps!
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • Sync completes with all data transferred, but never completes - just hangs

    When I connect my iPhone by USB, iTunes fires up and my Sync seems to kick off without a hitch. Sync in Progress appears on the screen for as many as 4 hours. If I disconnect after 15-20 minutes of syncing, new programs, appointments, and contacts all appear on the iPhone... but it just won't finish the Sync on its own without me canceling it with a swipe of the iPhone screen.
    Any ideas?

    I haven't had that happen but from other posts I have read, when there is a hang up of any sort with an Apple product, you usually should reset. Don't know if you have done. There are various ways to reset. I would first try holding down both buttons and wait for it to allow you to power down the Iphone.

  • Please help! My itunes just stops during sync, but says "Sync In Progress"

    Ok I've tried syncing my iphone to itunes and it just says Sync in Progress. It never stops. Now it makes it through the "Backing up iPhone" portion but as soon as it gets to syncing contacts, it just sits there saying its "Syncing contacts with "iphone"". Now Im not sure why its doing this, this just happened out of nowhere, so I've even restored the phone twice, once as a new phone and then again with the option it left from restoring it the first time. It syncs the music, apps, and videos when I uncheck everything in the Info tab, such as contacts, calendar, etc. So its something to do with everything in the Info tab. But how do i fix this problem?? =\

    It sounds like when replacing the hard drive for whatever reason your contacts were not loaded on your new drive.  Syncing the device does not put contacts on your drive.
    If you still have the old drive, you could reinstall it and export the contacts from whatever contact management app you use, then remove the old drive and reinstall the new drive, importing the contacts back into your contact management app.
    If you have your contacts backed up elsewhere, that would be the simplest solution.  Simply restore them or import them back into your contact management app.
    Personally, I would not trust the iTunes backup as a solution for keeping my contacts.  I choose to use MobileMe and Google contacts to provide backups and sync points for my contacts.

  • Progress bar completion function

    How do we control the progress bar completion functions @ the end of the pages, so they reflect reasonably correct amounts?

    For single page forms we never show progress
    For multiple page forms the first page always shows 0% and we don't show progress on the last page. For the pages in between we take the number of questions completed on the previous pages and divide by the total number of questions in the entire form to get the percentage for the current visible page.
    Hope that explains this better.

  • IMovie 09 spinning wheel, never completes startup

    I shot a few videos (short, perhaps 15 seconds total) and imported them to aperture 3. When I started imovie, it scanned my aperture library as expected but never completes - after the progress bar vanishes it sits at this screen: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/268628/iMovieFailedStartup.png perpetually. I've waited 15 minutes so far and tried restarting imovie a few times with the same result.

    I figured it out! I have several hundred RAW images in iPhoto and it seems that iMovie chokes on them. If your iMovie is slow, with lots of spinning wheel, try the following:
    1. close iMovie
    2. hold down option key and launch IPHOTO
    3. create new iPhoto database. call it "empty"
    4. close iPhoto.
    5. launch iMovie.
    6. Problem Solved
    whenever you work with iMovie, use the empty iphoto database. you can switch between iphoto databases by holding down the option key whenever you launch iphoto.
    Apple, you need to fix this!

  • Upgrading database nev completes

    I have just upgraded iphoto to the latest version via the App Store.
    As part of the installatin process it says it needd to upgrde the iphoto database. After a coouple of quick checking screens it begins the updating database process.  the progress bar completes 95% of it journey and but then frezes at the last 2 millmetres. The first tie I waited 8 hours for the process to complete but it never did.  I had to force quit iphoto.
    I then trashed the iphoto application and downloaded a fresh copy.  In case the iphoto library has been corrupted by the failed installation process, I went into the timemachine and restored the iphoto library to a a copy before the instalatin process had been underaken.  the same thing happened again a freeze 2 mm boe thened.  What now?

    After "Force Quitting" try to repair the aperture Libray before trying to upgrade:
    Launch Aperture with the cmd-options-key combination (⌘⌥) firmly held down, then select "Repair Library" from the "Aperture 3 Library First Aid" panel; if "Repair" does not suffice, try "Rebuild Database".
    Good Luck

  • Sync in Progress message stays on Lockscreen

    When I sync my iPhone, the sync in progress message does not go away once syncing is complete. To remove the message, I have to navigate from the lockscreen and then back.  How can I fix this?

    Same here. I regret updating my ios from 4.0 to 4.02 on my ip4. Now it will only do the backup, sync contacts, photos and apps. When it starts transfering my music or books or videos it will just hang and freeze, saying sync in process. I tried full removal of itunes and releated and deleting library. I added my itunes music folder and apps folder to the new library. Tried to sync again and same thing. Hang when it starts with the music or vids or books.
    Apple support was no help on the phone today. Just recommeded reinstall. Now I have an Iphone4 minus the Ipod!!!!!!!

    Mar 16, 2011 4:36 PM (in response to David Auerbach)
    I've fixed mine! From a little help from an apple adviser. You might want to clear your caches before doing this - under iTunes preferences. Open iTunes - go to the top bar, click the 'Store' drop down menu >
    Then click 'De-authorise this Computer' >
    Enter your password etc >
    Then click 'Store' again then click 'Re-authorise this Computer'>
    Enter password etc>
    Restart the Mac>
    Open up iTunes should be fine - worked for me anyway  Good Luck
