BB for Mac freezing when trying to sync itunes to Pearl 8230

Hi all-
Have searched the forum to no success. Just downloaded BB for Mac and so far so good, except for one issue. The DM will freeze/crash when trying to sync one song or a whole playlist to my BB pearl. I can select any playlist I want, (I've made some with various file types and sizes to see if it was a file format or size error), and still had no success. I've ensured my media card support is on, mass storage mode is on, unencrypted, and auto enable mass storage mode when connected is on, room on the media card, and recognized by my device. The DM recognizes my media card, and correctly identifies the amount of free space on it, allows me to select my playlist(s) and when I click 'sync', the drop down window indicates "the following items are being synchronized" and "music", but the progress bar and the sync circle don't move. I've left it in this state for 4 hours to return to find out nothing has changed. I have to force quit the DM at that point.
My contacts and calendars sync fine, just no love when it comes to the music.
I have a BB pearl 8230 (4.6.1.284) on the Telus network, using an iMac running snow leopard 10.6.1, running iTunes 9.01(9)
Am I missing something? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you running the Mac in 64bit mode, if so that is a known issue. Work around appears to be switch Mac to 32 bit sync and then return to 64bit till next sync or BB RIM fix is out.

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

My Wifi turns off when trying to sync Itunes with ATV

I have just brought an ATV and have the up to date software on everything. When trying to sync my itunes library with ATV after 45 mins -90 mins i lose my wifi connection on everything (mac computer, apple tv, iphone) this has not happened before I got the Apple TV and I have always have a strong and perfect connection, even when I am syncing itunes & ATV it is perfect for the first 45 mins.
I have tried resetting the ATV to its factory settings and switching all other devices off when syncing. this hasn't worked.
I would appreciate some help on this and some instructions on how to solve this in dummy form.

without knowing the make/model of your router, then no.
and even then, unless someone here has that specific router, then we can't give you a 100% step-by-step instructions for doing it.

ITunes freezing when trying to sync iPhone 5.

I'm at my tethers end.
Last month I had my iPhone replaced at an Apple store, as the battery on my old phone was draining unusually fast (100% to 0% in 2 hours on standby with nothing open). This replaced iPhone has been slightly tempermental, but I have tried to ignore these little glitches (brightness jumping randomly from 100% to the lowest setting for no reason etc (it's not on auto).
The biggest problem I'm having it trying to sync my phone with iTunes. It will not sync my music, often freezing at particular songs, meaning I would have to restart my entire computer for it to work again. Deleting these songs would work for it to continue syncing, but no sooner would it find another song it did not like, which would play on any other media software and had no problems whatsoever with my old phone. It then decided to start freezing on 'downloading safari safe data', so I took steps for it to stop doing that (advanced on safari etc). Now it keeps freezing on step 5 of 5; waiting for changes to be applied. Frankly I'm absolutely SICK of this, as I'd like to get some music on my phone at some time, and now I can't even make any alterations to my phone.
I've tried..
*Restoring my iPhone ( which went awfully because my backup dissapeared, meaning I had to restore with a months old backup. I triple checked that my backup had worked but when it came to needing it *poof*.
* Checking Winsock providers.
* Converting back to older versions of iTunes.
* Restarting my computer a million and one times.
* Deleting 'problem' songs, but now I can't even reach that stage of syncing.
PLEASE HELP. I'm so frustrated with this. I've always been a loyal customer to Apple but frankly I get sick of always having problems. There's not been one apple phone which has not stopped working within warranty and needed a replacement. When we're paying this much for a phone we expect it to actually WORK.

This problem is quite common, but I have not been able to figure out what causes it. My best bet is that it's a USB issue, and I have found a workaround that makes synchronising possible when all else fails. For the record, I have tried all of the potential solutions on these forums without lasting success. Here's what worked for me.
(Windows 7 32bit, iPhone 4S, iTunes 10.6.1.7)
First of all, make sure you have a good wi-fi signal in the region of the PC you are syncing with. Then -
1) Start iTunes.
2) Connect phone via USB.
3) Left click on phone in iTunes.
4) On the Summary page check "Sync with this phone over Wi Fi"
5) On the phone go to Settings>General>iTunes wi-fi sync
6) Tap on Sync now.
The phone should sync via wi-fi, even though it is connected via USB. It didn't seem any slower to me than syncing via the cable, and more importantly it worked, and the backup went smoothly. I've tried it several times now with no problems.
Also, if you have a lot of apps you need to synchronise or you are re-arranging the app windows using iTunes you can sync in the normal way from the PC if you do it immediately after the wi-fi sync, because iTunes does not run the backup again. It probably won't run two backups within a few minutes of one another.
It's all a bit of a fiddle, and Apple/MS needs to get a fix for it, but if this method works for you at least you have a good backup should you flush your phone down the toilet!
Good luck!

Computer freezes when trying to sync ipod touch

I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 64 bit and I'm not sure if I had this problem. I have the 64 bit version of itunes downloaded and I got a new 32gb ipod touch for christmas today. I plugged it in and set it all up and when it goes to sync, it shows that it gets to the 5th song out of like 500? songs I have and my whole computer freezes. I have my itunes setup so that it gets my songs from my external hard drive. I don't know if that would be a problem by trying to send my songs from my hard drive to my computer and then to my ipod. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

i am having some success with my touch now by right clicking on the itunes icon and selecting, troubleshoot compatibility, troubleshoot program, program worked on earlier versions,then select, win vista service pack2. this is probably not a permenant fix but for the time being it seems to work. hope you have some joy with your setup.

IPod freezes when trying to sync with iTunes 6.0.4(3)!

Is anyone else having this problem?? My iPod (touch wheel) was working just fine until I updated iTunes the other night. Now it freezes when I try to sync it with iTunes! I tried resetting, restoring, checked all the updates, *****-slapping the iPod, everything. I see that others might be having the same problem -- is there a solution? Help!
iMAC Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Update:
Any new news on this issue from anyone else?
I left my iPod plugged into my PowerBook over night and when I woke it was functional. However, downloads from iTunes to the iPod take almost 3x's longer than they used to and there seems to be more errors than I've ever experienced (about 1 out of every 10 interfaces). Sometimes the error is that it can't write to the drive (iPod) and sometimes the error is that it can't mount the iPod. Also when the iPod is plugged in and displayed in iTunes, the "used" and "free" info is incorrect. I completely emptied my iPod and it says that I'm using -2.80 GB (impossible unless I've created a blackhole) and it says that I have 10.49 GB (capacity, under Get Info, is listed at 9.28 - which is were it's always been - it's a gen2 10GB iPod).
Has anyone tried to format there iPod? Is this possible without harming the drive?
Well, to sum it up my iPod is working but is having errors and bugs all over the place. If anyone has any new news I'd love to hear it.

Itunes freezing when trying to sync

Anyone run into itunes freezing when syncing and then an error message popping up saying "Cannot sync ipod. An unkown error occured." Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling itunes 9. And still same problem.

Same for a friend of mine who's at his wits end. Here's what he writes:
When I connect the iPhone to my USB outlet (I am running Windows XP), Photoshop Downloader launches immediately. After the photos are downloaded, I find that iTunes has completely frozen. It doesn't respond to any mouse clicks and I have to do control-alt-click to close it down. This happens whether iTunes was running before I connected the iPhone or not. I think the problem is the iPhone, since my iPod still syncs normally with iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I have turned the computer on and off. I have reset all settings on the iPhone. I have in fact tried every suggestion on the Apple site.

Ipod freezes when trying to sync/sometimes reboots my computer?!?

I have a 20 gig ipod from 2004 (click-wheel with no color screen) that I have been trying to update my library on. Every time it tries to sync, it freezes and I have to plug it into the power supply in order to restart it. It also won't take any new songs if I try to add them manually. I tried restoring factory settings and updating my ipod software and that didn't help. I tried using the USB unsuccessfully and tried the firewire only to have that freeze the ipod and completely reboot my computer at the same time?! If anyone knows what is going on, I'd greatly appreciate any advice. I have taken great care of my ipod and would be surprised if it was something I had done to damage the unit.
thanks MUCH in advance!
ps. my nano syncs and adds songs manually just fine with the same computer...

Itunes 10.2.2 Freezes when trying to Sync

After upgrading to ITunes 10.2.2.14 I can no longer Sync myIPOD Touch. I have a third generationIPOD Touch 60GB. ITunes recognizes my IPOD, but when it gets to Step 4 of 4 it freezes. I had to restore the IPOD (on a differentcomputer) and in doing so I have the most up to date IPOD software as well. I have tried multiple USB ports, multipleIPOD cables (all Apple brand). I deactivated my wireless card, unplugged the LAN cable, unplugged all other USB devices and turned off my anti-virus software, nothing is working.
Additional details are that I use a PC with Windows XP withall the updated service packs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same EXACT problems you are. I have the 32g itouch and it just freezes on the last step of "syncing". I also have an XP computer (third service pack installed) and everything had been running fine until just about a month or two ago. I had to restore my itouch on my sisters computer 2X already (not mine, it doesnt work). All my apps were loaded fine, then it couldnt load my music. I restored my itouch again, then on the initial setup I unchecked to sync music and apps. On the last step of "syncing", it just freezes. Tried the different USB ports, making sure all things are up to date, turning off the firewall etc. but nothing works. I would hate to buy a new itouch and have the same problem happen to me again. Hopefully somebody has a solution. Just a FYI, my 8g ipod still has NO problem syncing my new music I purchased recently...
