ATV in Itunes won't stop syncing...

ATV still works but when Sync started this day it has been going on for an hour and won't complete sync????!!!
What's the solution? preferences? delete ATV from Itunes and reapply?

Tech support came through for me on this issue...
Go to this link
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3180?viewlocale=en_US
Restart the ATV per the link instructions and run diagnostics then restart. Sync should return to normal as mine did....

    My iPod 6th Generation won't stop syncing, anyone help?

    What do it do instead of shuffle? Is the shuffle option still turned on? It can be enabled and disabled from the Now Playing screen.

  • Color wheel in itunes won't stop after syncing to my phone.  Help!

    I synced my iphone to my MacBook Pro last night and the color wheel still won't stop or disappear.  Why does it do this and what can I do to make it stop? Does it have anything to do with iPhoto? 

    I moved the app and Library; I ended up removed all iTunes stuff(except) Library and reinstalled it. It now starts fresh....transferred stuff over however......I can't sync my iPhone...it says there another Library already synced....how do I know which one, I have a few(my fault).
    Can I get these cleaned up somehow?
    thanks!

  • IPod Shuffle refuses to eject; won't stop syncing.

    I have a 2nd Generation iPod Shuffle and a Windows 8 laptop.
    My iPod is stuck in an infinite syncing loop. I can plug it in, and it'll sync with iTunes, but then even after it's finished syncing with iTunes, it still flashes as if it's syncing, and iTunes won't let me eject it because it says it's in use with another program--I can't imagine what.
    It'll charge while it's flashing, but if I remove it without ejecting--which I have to, because it won't eject--the next time I plug it in, it won't flash OR charge, and the computer won't even recognize that it exists, although iTunes will still recognize it.
    Then I have to restart the iPod Service on my laptop to get it to charge again, but doing so makes it flash again, and refuse to be ejected again, ad infinitum.
    I don't know what could possibly be latching onto my iPod. I recently reset this laptop to factory defaults and the only thing I've installed since the rest are iTunes, GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), and Microsoft Office.
    I guess it's not unusable, since it seems I can kind of get around it by resetting the iPod Service every single time, but that's kind of a pain.

    It never stops syncing. I've been syning it for 6 hours and it hasn't finished with no sign of stopping. There are no errors and it doesn't have any messages of what it is syncing.

  • ITunes won't stop launching

    I don't know if this happens every time that Apple has a release but it seems like once they have pushed an update my iTunes goes crazy. It won't stop auto launching at will. It's doing this on all profiles and I do not have this in my auto launch application list. I also already tried to run a permission repair and this did nothing as well. The launchd is the parent service and I thought by force killing it, it might fix the problem. Needless to say that killed my session lol. I checked the permissions on the application and my files and the permissions appeared ok. Any suggestions would be helpful.
    P.S. I have deleted the app before and reinstalling it but that doesn't help.

    I believe I found the answer from another post. The post mentioned a Bluetooth connection problem. I looked at my Bluetooth item list and noticed that my discoverable option was on and I turned it off. I also noticed that my Bluetooth connected printer was also unavailable and think that this was the root cause.

  • Ios 8 photos app won't stop syncing

    Recently upgraded to an iPhone 6 and iOS 8.  When I open the Photos app, it always has a Syncing..... indicator at the bottom and won't stop.  I have tried disabling Photo Stream and iCloud photo albums and doing a hard restart.  I also deleted out many old photos that appear to have been corrupted during the upgrade.
    How can I fix this?
    Thank you.

    Still not fixed after upgrading to 8.1.
    Also, I tried enabling iCloud Photo (Beta) and got an interesting message:  Syncing would begin once the restore from backout was complete.  This is interesting because I do not use iCloud for backup and the settings are turned off.
    Help?!?

  • Macbook Pro won't stop syncing unplugged ipod 5

    I plugged my iphone 5 into my new macbook pro (with retina display) via usb port to sync it and back up itunes and all was well, all my music is now on my iphone and my macbook. No follow up issues. However, when i plug in my ipod 5, things started to go wrong. Backing it up wouldn't work at all and i couldn't sync ANY of my other apps with it and so after about 45 minutes, i gave up. I ejected my ipod and i thought everything was ok until every time i tried to shut down my macbook, i would get a notification asking if i was still willing to shut down my laptop even though itunes was still trying to back up with my ipod. I was confused and went to look at itunes and tried clicking 'Quit Back up' which didn't work as my laptop completely disregarded me.
    Then, I thought, maybe if i click sync ipod, it will realise that there is nothing plugged in and then it will quit. Not the case. When i clicked sync it actually started syncing my ipod but my ipod wasnt aware of it. On itunes on my macbook, it was mainly blank, not showing any of the backup options like it usually does while syncing and what not. This has been going on for nearly a week.
    Because backing up and syncing take up a lot of battery, my laptop has been reaching low battery in about 45mins-1hour of use. Itunes is refusing to let me quit and shut down my laptop even though i click to stop sync when it asks me. Itunes is constantly running in the background draining my battery life. I have now just plugged in the same ipod but my itunes has failed to recognise it. This is also stopping me from updating my software with the newest update.
    I don't know what i'm meant to do because i feel powerless and as a first time mac user, who, by the way, does nothing but surf the net and do schoolwork on it, i am very shocked by how quickly this has happened as i have only had this macbook pro for under 4 months.
    Hope this gets answered asap as this has been going on for about a week. Thank you

    The first thing I'd do is boot to your install DVD (Cmd-C) or recovery partition (Cmd-R in case you're running Lion or Mountain Lion). Start Disk Utility and repair the disk and its permissions. With any luck, that will get your system running properly again. If not, we'll walk you through resetting the SMC and NVRAM.

  • Ipod won't stop syncing

    I recently reinstalled Windows on my computer, and plugged in my ipod. It updated all the songs and everything, but even after it's finished copying all the files, the little swirly thing that says "ipod syncing, do not disconnect" just keeps going and going. Also, it won't copy all of my videos to my ipod. That one I can't figure out, since they're all the same file type and it appears to be random selection. Why won't my ipod stop syncing?

    If you're set Manually Manage, the Do Not Disconnect icon will not disappear on its own...you have to manually eject the iPod. Are you set to Manual Manage or Auto Sync?

  • My itunes won't stop. Starts on it's own, plays half of the song and quits. Videos override everything.Why won't itunes quit?

    My iTunes won't quit! It starts on it's own, plays half of the song, then videos take over. Make it go away!

    Are you following this instructions:
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually

  • Facebook won't stop syncing

    Hi
    I recently installed iLife 11 which seems to have better facebook intergration
    Only problem is, it will never stop syncing forcing me to have to force quit iPhoto
    I have noticed it is trying to sync my facebook albums that aren't in my library, is it actually going to make copies of these photos to my library or is it just referencing them?
    Basically what I want to know is what exactly is facebook trying to do when its syncing with iPhoto and why is it taking so long?
    Thanks

    I ran into the same thing with Flickr, FB and Mobile Me too. I also force quit. But then when I reopened, and found it still syncing, I went to each album and double clicked the generic icon that appeared instead of a photo.... the individual images began to load and populate the window, and "pending" at the bottom of some photo's soon changed to completed or finished. I also will note that in many albums, when I double clicked the generic icon, most photo's appeared right away. I thought none were there since the icon was generic, but double clicking each one then showed photo's and or converted to the photo's in the window. After doing this for the albums, syncing stopped. I do not know why this was. I know it was time consuming depending on how many albums you have, and or images per. But this worked.
    So I am not sure what happened.... almost like it was syncing but not completing. I waited a long time too before force quitting. SO try this and see if your photo's are there and synced, or if most are there and only a few more need to sync.

  • IPod touch 4g won't stop syncing with iTunes

    I had a nearly 2 year old ipod touch 4g that when updated to ios 5, it froze...just days before the orginal warranty was about to expire.   apple store gave me a new ipod touch and they put ios 5 on it at the store.  when i got home and synced it to my itunes, everything copied fine...and the strange thing is...no matter how long i leave the ipod connected to my macbook pro (running lion), itunes always stays stuck on "copying step 6 of 6".  it NEVER stops copying.  here's the wierd thing, i can manually unplug the ipod touch and it seems fine....all the stuff is there.  but itunes never recognizes that it's done.  i've restored the ipod AGAIN...and it still gets stuck on 'step 6 of 6'.  i've left it synching overnight...and still, in the morning..'step 6 of 6'.  bizarre.  any one have ANY ideas on what's going on?  I also have a iphone 4 running ios 5 and do NOT have this same problem. 

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Streaming a movie on my ATV 2nd generation and it stops syncing

    Having syncing issues when streaming a movie on my ATV, it stops in the middle of the movie

    The problem is the format of the movie is not compatible with the iPod.  If the movie is in the Movie section of yur iTunes library try the Create Ipod and iPhone Version option in the Advanced tab of iTunes.  However, I do not know if you have to sync it to iPod for that option to work.  There is the free program Handbrake that can convert them if they are not copy protected.

  • Bought app.. and iphone 4 / itunes 9.2 stops syncing and wont load any apps

    Hi, been using itunes and iphone 4 all dandy on win 7
    Bought a sat nav app in itunes today, downloaded.. shows in itunes "apps" folder.
    -From now on when I hit sync, it locks the phone while doing sync.. for like 5 seconds.. then stops as if a full sync has been done.
    Have done the total uninstall as per apple support page, and rebooted and re installed. Exact same. I cant load any new apps or back up new ones bought on phone.
    What's goin on? Any ideas pls?

    The EXACT same thing is happening to me. My phone is brand new, so the fact that I can't activate it due to this problem is really frustrating. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, followed apple's instructions in its problem solvers guide...nothing seems to work. I've messed around with the drivers a bit too, with no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
    Go to the Event Viewer (Control Panel || Administrative Tools || Event Viewer) and look under Windows Logs || Application. Do you see any Bonjour errors? Since Windows 7 recognizes the camera part of the iPhone (nicely done Win7 integration!) Microsoft is probably not the culprit here.
    Uninstall/reinstall iTunes is part of the process, but you also have to make sure you uninstall all the other components Apple installs (Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour for Windows, QuickTime), do a reboot, and then install everything from scratch. That may fix the problem.
    This is exactly what an Apple guy talked me through over the phone. (I think I even uninstalled Apple Software Updater) I had a similar problem with the iPad on Win7 x64 - it was Bonjour that is the culprit. The x64 flavor of Bonjour for Windows is not as stable as the 32-bit version.
    But everything has been golden for me since the reinstall...
    Give that a try.
    Then if not, you could start looking to see if there is another ZeroConf/SSDP provider that is conflicting with Apple's somehow.

  • ITunes won't complete sync with iPhone or iPad....freezes at contacts

    Using iTunes 10.5.3.3 on a Windows 7 OS to sync my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (both with OS 5.0.1). This is my 3rd iPhone and 2nd iPad, so I'm not new to this. No problems until a few days ago. Now, both devices sit at the syncing contacts screen, and won't ever finish.
    Here's what I've tried:
    obviously, restarting iTunes (as well as PC)
    restarting devices
    deleting backups
    resetting sync history
    replacing contacts & calendar on next sync
           (PC is up-to-date with Windows Update)
    Still the same. Not only will it not complete sync, but the calendar entires are all duplicated+++ now on the devices, when they are still correct entries in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.
    This is SOOOOO frustrating. Besides wiping devices and starting again (which I don't really want to do), anyone have any suggestions?

    Is your phone hacked? Have you tried restarting your computer and your iPhone? I have found that a majority of problems that happen with iPhone can be solved with a simple reset.
    For iPhone to iTunes, you can refer to this page about [iPhone/iPod/iPad to computer or iTunes|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/IPod/iPhone/iPadTo_Computer_Transfer_%26_Backup_SoftwareReviews].
    It includes the transferring of music, photos, videos, SMS, Contact ect. between iPod/iPhone/iPad and computer(PC or Mac).

  • ITunes won't stop creating duplicates and triplicates in my library!

    My issue is that iTunes is creating duplicates of my songs. Over and over and over again. I have the preferences set so that it is saving everything in one folder, etc. It still happens. In fact, not only are there duplicates, there are 4 and 5 copies of songs. I've gone and deleted the duplicates, and then when I go to play the remaining file out of the library, it says it can't find it.....it's really bizarre. At first it wasn't that big of a deal, but now I have several gigs of hard drive space taken up by duplicate songs. It's a nightmare.
    Here's some additional info about my setup; I hope this helps.
    Windows XP Home OS
    iTunes version 7.7 (was also happening with previous versions)
    I store all of my music on an external Maxtor USB hard drive
    I periodically sync my iPod classic
    I occasionally use Airtunes
    Please help! Anybody?!?!

    did you ever figure this one out? my album folders contain one set of duplicate music files in them. glad it's only one set of duplicates at this point, but that's still double the pain in the a**.
    i could spend an hour or two "fixing" this, but i dont want it to happen again...
