After 2.2 Update, iPhone will not stop "syncing"

I have the original 8 GB iPhone. I recently updated to the new version of iTunes (8.0.2.20), as well as the new version of the iPhone software (2.2). I had no issues regarding the phone itself, or syncing, until after I updated to version 2.2.
After the 2.2 update my phone won't stop syncing. When I first sync the phone, it will backup, then sync the calendars and contacts, and music, etc. However, when all of this is done, it is still syncing. In iTunes it says "syncing iPhone" at the top, and the little "busy" wheel is turning next to my device listed on the left side of iTunes. On the iPhone it still says "sync in progress." I have left the phone syncing is the dock/cradle for several hours, and it still continues to "sync".
If I cancel the sync, or eject the phone (to cancel the sync), and i go into my phone I see that everything appears to have synced just fine, even though it showed as still syncing.
Long story short, it appears everything is syncing fine, but the only way to get it to stop syncing is to cancel it myself. Any ideas as to why this would be happening? And what can I do to fix it? Thanks for any help.

I notice this happened to mine before I restored it. I know it sounds like a hassle, but restoring your phone would not only make the syncs faster in the future and leave you without problems, but it would also make the installation of apps much quicker and make the phone itself "speedier". When I say restore the phone, I don't mean from a backup, but make it a new iPhone. Start fresh. Sometimes after numerous updates and changes to music and data on the iPhone and even iTunes, it sort of "clogs" up the potential speed that the phone has. Believe me, I saw a huge difference after doing this. So make sure you back up the phone and anything you could have stored on applications. If you don't want to risk losing data from apps, you could just back up the phone and restore using the latest backup if you wish. If you do that, you will have to resync all the music/photos/calendars/contacts that you have on your phone if you automatically sync them. I prefer not using the backup, but it's still an option. Good luck if that doesn't work, you could try reinstalling iTunes. That helps out pretty well also.

IPhone will not finish syncing

iphone will not finish sync.it goes through the steps unit the final one "waiting for changes to be made" then stops please help

Nevermind, tried a different cable and it started working. There is no visible signed of damage on the cable and very odd timing on when it failed.

I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and yawl post the the download again. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. What up?

I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs. I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync. Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone. What's up? What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

After syncing my itunes from my computer to my iphone4, the download icon at the top of my iphone will not stop.

After syncing my itunes from my computer to my iphone4, the download icon at the top of my phone will not stop. It appears at all times as though I am in the middle of a download, but it is not connected to anything.

This is from a 4S with iOS 7 running iTunes Match:
You won't see Edit if it's a Genius playlist (like the one in the image above).

After last Windows update, Firefox will not work

I am running Vista Business OS. and FF beta 4.x
After the latest updates (installed automatically) on Wed, April 27, Firefox will not load. When I click on the icon, I get the "busy" and then.......nothing. It does show as a running process, but nothing comes up on the screen. I have re-downloaded and re-installed it, but nothing. IE does come up, but Chrome does not.
It seems like MS blocked FF with the latest updates.
If I revert to the restore point before the updates were installed, FF works fine.
Help!

I uninstalled KB 2446708 (Security Update for .NET Framework 4) ... took forever to uninstall, like 20 minutes.... And now Firefox starts up normally!
By the way, my Firefox is version 3.6.17, running on Windows Vista 64bit. I try to avoid all the new updates like IE9. Perhaps I should try avoiding .NET Framework 4 as well.

After recent apple update MBP will not connect to wireless internet

After running recent Security and Airport upgrades my Mac Book Pro (Intel) will not connect to wireless home router supplied by Verizon (GTE) and several public wi-fi's. Cannot get IP but sees networks. My iMac PPC still works fine. Prior to upgrade everything worked fine at home and abroad to other public wi-fi's. MBP still connects at work with AppleBase wireless. Can the upgrade be removed? Is there a simple fix? Should I wait for apple to fix this and break something else.... If not broken don't fix it..

I'm having similar issues.
I have 2 MBP's. The newest one is about 1 month old and has never been able to connect to a WPA network. The older MBP is 20 months old and was originally installed with Tiger and gradually updated via Software Update and a retail copy of Leopard and subsequent Software Update updates to 10.5.2. Interestingly, this MBP was always able to access my WPA network until I decided to do an erase and install. I installed the retail copy of Leopard and was subsequently unable to access my WPA network. So, I went back to my Tiger install disks - but I'm guessing that whatever Leopard did *possibly* updated the firmware of the airport card as, even under Tiger, I could not access my WPA network (yes, I agree it seems unlikely that an OS update would/should update firmware but I am grasping at straws).
Trying to further understand the problem , I noted that the Network utility in System preferences would always show either a connection error or a connection timeout whenever I attempted to join my WPA network. I turned on syslog in my router and attempted to rejoin the network and saw the following errors:

Strongly suggesting that the MBP is not completing the WPA handshake.
Any ideas as to where my investigations could progress? (The router manufacturer tells me that the WPA timeout handler is not configurable on the router).

After an auto update firefox will not open due to an incomplete update

firefox performed an automatic update 4 days ago. It is 3.6 version. once the browser closed it refuses to reopen-message reads you must restart firefox-update was incomplete. When you restart and try to open the browser-you get the same message. If you try to uninstall-you get the same message. Nothing works

Remove the files and folders to reset the software update feature as shown here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly
Delete the Firefox installation directory, default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
Download the setup file from http://www.mozilla.com and run it to re-install. Doing this will not remove your bookmarks or other user data.

My iphone will not stop showing the apple logo and rebooting

How can i get my iphone 5 to stop rebooting and actually show my screen. All it does is show the apple logo and then its goes away and the screen stays on but shows nothing. I can triple click to invert colors but that only makes the black screen white. My lock button does not work either so i cannot hard reset

It appears you have a hardware failure. Certainly the lock button has failed. Without that button you cannot reset which is the first thing to try in cases like yours. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My phone will not stop syncing. It will not stop copying items.

I can leave it for hours and hours but the sync will never stop, getting stuck on Step 8 "copying items". What do I do? I updated my software to iOS6 as I thought that might help but it is still doing it.
It is a iphone 4.
I am afraid that if I restore it I will lose everything.
Any help?
Thanks so much!

I have the same issue with my 4S! I hope someone can help us!!

My iphone will not wifi sync

Im trying to get my iphone 5 to wifi sync with my macbook pro but its not doing it
I have tried everything i can think of:
-iphone is plugged in
-itunes is open
-itunes(when phone was plugged in) is checked for wifi sync
-the apple ID's are the same
-they are connected to same wifi
The weird thing is that when i remove the usb cable, after my phone is plugged in, the device disappears which im pretty sure isnt supposed to happen. If i go to the top bar > devices i can see the name of my iphone but its greyed out and unselectable.
If im using a school network(which requires a login) would that affect the sync even though the phone and laptop are both connected?
CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIX THIS???

My iPhone will not longer sync my calendars

My iPhone4 will no longer sync my calendars with my iMac.

My problem comes and goes. Everything syncs perfectly across platforms then suddenly one "calendar" in the cloud disappears from my iphone. I haven't changed any settings, so it has to be a bug in the software or a glitch in the cloud.
This morning I see that a scheduled appointment randomly disappeared from my phone. This is a BIG problem for business users.
MacBookPro OSX 10.7.5

TS2481 will not stop syncing to "Notes"

Sync process will not move pass "syncing to notes". Whats wrong and how can I fix?
OP2

It sounds like some corrupt data... deselect the notes rom your sync data and try to sync... if it works then you have a note with corrupt data... try copying them or sending them to yourself via email option from within notes and then delete them all...
then add them back

After the ios6 update, iTunes will not sync with my 4s, it gives me an error about not being able to identify which apps are on my phone.

I have the latest iTunes software. I did notice that alot of my apps on my phone aren't there anymore after the update. Any suggestions?

Howdy Susiesdad,
I would suggest the troubleshooting steps from this article named Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Don't let the name throw you off, the troubleshooting is relevant for scanners as well.
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
All the best,
Sterling

After 2.0 Update Lyrics will not come back

I have alot of music that I have update the informaiton in and placed LYRICS in for each of them and now after the update all I get is Lyrics and it seems to go and look for them but never finds them is there any reason why?

Sweet! The power of the collective on the web...
Jeff - try this, worked great -
unfortunately i lost all my info on my touch when doing this, but I can dedicate some time tonight to resetting my wallpaper, my mail settings, etc.
i think the 'DFU' in these instructions means device firmware upgrade...found this on another forum where people complaining of same problem...
1. Hold both the home and power buttons until the device turns off
2. EXACTLY one second after the iPod turns off, release the sleep/wake button, holding the home button still ( the apple logo SHOULD NOT BE ON ).
3. In about 20 seconds, you will see your iPod appear in iTunes, but the screen on your iPod will still be off. You are now in DFU mode.
4. RELEASE the home button as soon as your iPod appears iTunes. If you fail to do so, your iPod will simply go back into recovery mode.
yo Apple - please roll out some info on this 'known issue'; While $9.95 isn't a budget-breaker, if you have to figure out how to make that $9.95 work on your Apple device like it appears some of us are, it speaks to posting something in Support about it - thanks!
