6.0.1 syncing itunes never ends

Hi
My iPhone syncs poorly with iTunes. At the last step (7.7) after copying files, it takes forever waiting for files to copy... never ends
Anybody on that?

Every time I sync I have to abort the end after a while, 10 minutes or more, after I realize it's no use. Doesn't seem to work erratically, but is very strange and should be corrected ASAP

  • Sync never ends

    I have a new 32mb Touch. I originally synced it while on vacation with PC #1, and it worked perfectly. Now I am home, and I have attempted to sync it with PC #2.
    I tried several times to sync to PC #2, and each time it would successfully transfer all (or most) of my media, but the sync process would never end.
    I am using iTunes 7.6.1.9, and my Touch is version 1.1.3 with Software Upgrade.
    I even went so far as to do a total restore of the Touch, but this doesn't seem to fix the problem.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • IPhone Sync Never Ends

    When I sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my Window's computer, the sync ends on Step 7 and says "Waiting for items to copy." However, it never ends. I cancel the sync, and all the new content is there, but it never ends. The animation at the top shows that its working, but again, never ends. Can anyone help me figure out what is going on?

    I have the same Problem, but with iMac (lion) and iPad (iOS 5) and in German .

  • Itunes synchronization with iphone5 never ends, why?

    itunes synchronization with iphone5 never ends, why? I have NO jailbreak or similar.

    Hello willy198
    Try removing an option that you sync like music. Uncheck it then sync and then revert the change back. Test the sync and it should resolve the issue.

  • Syncing calendar or contacts never ends...

    Love my iPhone, love my new Macbook Air.
    First time I sync'ed the two my 600 contacts made it from the computer to the phone.
    Now I'm syncing again a few days later and music syncs, video syncs, but if I choose to sync contacts or calendar it never ends. I've left it for as much as 30 minutes and nada.
    No progress is shown as it is with music, etc -- just a barber-pole like progress bar that never changes.
    I've tried checking the sync box that says "for this sync only replace the content on the phone" and it doesn't make a difference.
    I've tried powering the phone down and back up and nothing.
    I rather not completely reset the phone because I suspect that this will wipe the call logs, voicemails, SMS conversations, etc.
    If it helps, I think the problem started because during this 2nd sync it detected a bunch of "conflicts" in the address book and asked which version I wanted to keep. I went through and chose all the ones to keep but before that sync was done the sync got hung up because an SMS message came in which it was in progress and when I tried to slide the slider to get to the SMS I killed the sync (I didn't realize the slider killed syncs at that point).
    Any ideas?

    One thing to try is to open isync from your applications folder.
    Once isync is open, click on isync at the top of the screen and choose preferences.
    In the preferences, reset sync history.
    After sync history is reset, quit isync and try syncing the iphone again.
    If the issue persists, try creating a new user account.
    Log into the new account and open ical and address book.
    Put a test contact into address boo and a test event into ical.
    Then open itunes, go through the initial setup and try syncing just contacts and calendars.
    Make sure to merge data.
    If the sync goes on in the new user account, then some how the data has become corrupted in your account and is causing the sync to hang.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1535 Does iTunes have to also be installed on my Windows PC in order to Sync?  Since iTunes never pops up when I attach my iPad to my PC, I'm wondering if that's the problem

    I cannot sync and in fact, any time I attach my iPad to my PC it says not charging - and iTunes never pops up.  Is it possible that I have to install iTunes on m PC to make this work?

    Please read Chapter 2.
    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

  • When I open iTunes , iTunes Match started to process step 1. Always same process and never ending

    When I open iTunes , iTunes Match started to process step 1. Always same process and never ending...
    I tried some suggestions but I cant fix my problem. Do you have any knowladge about this problem?

    For the past few months, and several iTunes upgrades, iTunes Match spends some time in Step 1 "Gathering" and sending information to Apple. Then Step 2 runs through the first 2092 of 2094 pretty quickly. Jumps to 2094. And then immediatly back to Step 1 again.
    Repeat every 5 minutes or so until Match is manually turned off.

  • ITunes never remembers what to sync on all my devices

    I sync my iPad 3, iPhone 4S, and  iPod nano (6) all manually.  Every time I plug one of them in to sync them, iTunes never remembers that to sync.  If it's podcasts, I have to reselect which ones.  If it's music or photos, I have to reselct the ones I want, confirm I want to delete the old and replace it with the "new", even if it's the same music or photos.  Isn't there some sort of preference file that remembers what gets synced on a specific device?  I have the latest OS on all devices and my iMac.

    In preferences, Devices have you got Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically ticked

  • HT1386 ITunes says 'preparing to sync' but never goes any further (IPhone 5c)

    ITunes says 'preparing to sync' but never goes any further (IPhone 5c and Outlook 2010

    by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
    if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

  • At the end of sync itunes hangs with message waiting for files to be transferred....iphone 4s?

    at the end of sync itunes hangs with message waiting for files to be transferred....iphone 4s?-
    and just sits there for an hour or more... sync is not finished, nothing happens... Any ideas?

    I called tech support and they had me schedule a time to walk through the problem with an apple engineer last night.
    They acknowledged that they've been getting calls about this issue but that's all they said.
    Make a long story short there was no solution. I ended up backing up all my info, contacts, notes ect. to the cloud and restoring the iPhone to the factory settings, then I synced back to the cloud but did not restore from a previous back-up just use as a new phone then manually check off the media pictures, music, movies ect.
    It's not the ideal way but it worked for me because I don't have a ton of stuff on the phone and I can even sync wirelessly now where's before I couldn't check that feature on in iTunes because it wouldn't sync.
    One thing since you can't restore from a previous back-up make sure to manually back up your camera roll or turn on photo stream to back up photos to the cloud.
    Hope this helps.

  • What a pain -on a mac-never had aproblem-loaded a new shuffle with music -will not let me sync itunes store bought songs-will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

    What a pain -on a mac- never had aproblem- loaded a new shuffle with music - will not let me sync itunes store bought songs- will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

    I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes?  I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
    I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

  • One iCloud ID, but two different iTunes Store ID's... possible to sync iTunes Match?

    I tried searching around for an answer on this... a lot of people seem to be having issues when working off of a single Apple ID for the iTunes Store, but in my case my wife and I both use a single account for iCloud syncing but we have our own separate accounts for purchases in the App Store (we each have an iPhone 4S). My question is; if I subscribed to iTunes Match under my Apple ID which I use for my iTunes Store account... is there any way to extend our library of music to my wife's iPhone as well? On mine it's easy enough since it's linked to my Apple ID. But on my wife's iPhone, when she tries to add iTunes Match it asks for the password to her own iTunes Store Apple ID which is totally separate from mine and which is not subscribed to iTunes Match.
    In other words; is there any way to link iTunes Match to the iCloud ID instead of the iTunes Store ID?? Since we share the same iCloud ID (and it happens to be my Apple ID for iTunes Store as well) and since I thought this whole iTunes Match service was a part of "iCloud", I didn't think it would be a problem. But if I go onto my wife's iPhone and change her "Store" ID in Settings, won't this screw up all her previously-purchased apps? Would it work if I changed her Store ID on her iPhone, enabled iTunes Match, and then changed her Store ID back to her own? I somehow doubt it.
    I'm assuming there is no way to segregate an ID my wife uses for App Purchases from an ID we share for iCloud / iTunes match?
    Hope some of the above made sense, thanks for any help. I'm expecting an answer along the lines of "until you can merge ID's, you're out of luck" but hoping for another solution!

    Appreciate the response. I actually ended up tweeting Serenity (author of that article at Macworld) who wrote another article all about iTunes Match:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/163658/2011/11/itunes_match_what_you_need_to_kno w.html
    However, nothing seemed to specifically adress my issue of having multiple ID's for iTunes purchases. But Serenity explained via Twitter that our best bet was to simply put my Apple ID onto my wife's phone and essentially "abandon" her old iTunes ID that she was previously using for purchases. The downside of this is that she won't be able to access her prior purchased iOS apps in the cloud, and of course her future purchases will now be tied to my credit card . But there doesn't seem to be any other way around it. I would have loved if Apple let us use our "iCloud Apple ID" instead of the "iTunes Apple ID" for syncing "iTunes in the Cloud". That way, my wife could have continued to use her separate Apple ID for app purchases, but we would be able to share the same music library across devices. Oh well!
