G1 Sync stuck at Backing up, since July 2

I have upgraded to 3.0 and synced many times. But since July 2nd. I have been unable to sync my phone.
I either get unable to find phone via an error message or Backing Up is stuck in an endless loop for hours.
I've rebooted both PC and iPhone
If I cancel the sync via iTunes or the iPhone, "Canceling Sync" is stuck in an endless loop.
I am able to pull pictures and Last Fm can scrobble.

I beliebe I have solved my own problem
I saw a suggestion in another post that said to try a different USB port, and that did the trick.
I guess iTunes does not like to sync over USB when that cable is plugged into a hub.

IPhone 3GS (iOS 5) will not sync, stuck on *backing up* in iTunes 10.6.3.25

I recently updated iTunes to the latest update for Windows, since then, whenever I connect my phone and try to sync it just gets stuck in *backing up* for ages.. if I leave it it will be in backing up for hours. I cannot sync my phone or add any content now. I've been told to try and click the *X* in the progress window at the top of iTunes - but doing this does nothing but freeze iTunes for a few minutes - then it continues to *back up*... frustrating. Can anyone help?
Ta very much,
Chrissi
Windows 7 Home Premium, iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.1.1) and iTunes 10.6.3.25
I am also having this problem: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4076906?tstart=0 Could they be related?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if the problem has been resolved.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

SQL Azure Data Sync stuck in Processing State since 5 Sep 2014

Hi,
I've a sync group stuck in "processing" state since 5 Sep 2014, have tried to restart the client PC, restarted the sync service and also tried to regenerate the sync agent key, but still in vain. Would anyone please help me to figure it out what's
the problem? As I have many sync groups running without any problem for more than a year and encountered this problem recently (in this 3 months).
Here's the sync group details:

Hi Bowen,
I've checked the local agent has been offline at 2014/09/05 18:00:00 UTC+8, as the shop close every night and they will shut down the computer, but they've turned on the computer in next day morning, and they keep turning that off at night, turn
back on at next morning.
I've checked the agent was online during that "stuck" period when the computer was turned on, as I could click the "PING SYNC SERVICE" and it reported it could reach the sync server, and I could also view from the portal that the agent
was online, just the sync group stuck in the "processing" status.
Best regards,

As the client need the sync to be fixed ASAP, cannot wait for the answer / help, I've removed the sync agent, compare the data (what data need to download from Azure to client, what data need to upload from client to Azure) and recreate back the sync group.
Hi Micheal,
Is this the workaround in your scenario? Since the Azure SQL Data Sync failed, the Microsoft support engineer will help to solve the problem from backend based on your subscription ID and Sync Group ID. Sometime delay might be expected. Your patience is
greatly appreciated. Thank you for your understanding and support.

IPhone 4s Can't Sync to iTunes, Stuck in Backing Up (2of6)

I've an iPhone 4s 64gb iOs 5.0.1 for 3 weeks now, but still can't sync it w/ iTunes at all, I've tried iTunes version 10.5.3.3 and version 10.6.1.7 but both of them stuck on backing up (step 2 of 6).
I'm using win7 64bit. Can anyone help ? Reseting the iPhone and reinstall iTunes doesn't help at all.
And when I plug the iPhone4s to the laptop the lockscreen slider (where it used to say 'slide to unlock') didn't change to 'slide to cancel sync' or something like that (if it should have been that way) but there's two arrow circling on the upper left of the screen tho.
Please Help, really need to sync it
Thanks

Now, i found the way out by the help of my cousin in the end. So with me, the problem is within the OS of the computer/laptop/notebook(my case)/netbook, so i need to reinstall my windows 7 and i did, after that everything works fine with the syncing iPhone with iTunes.
For those who have the same provlem, maybe reinstalling your computer/laptop/notebook/netbook can help ^^
Regards..

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
Here's an example of what I mean:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
I have 3 of these and I really like them.
From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
Good luck!

IPod Touch stuck in "Backing Up" while trying to sync

Hi. I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch (16GB) with firmware 4.2.1. When I tried syncing it the yesterday, it was stuck in the Backing Up step for a few hours. I tried cancelling, I tried ejecting the iPod through iTunes, and tried shutting down iTunes by X-ing out and by going into Task Manager (Windows 7). None worked, my computer froze, so I had to shut down my computer without ejecting the iPod or cancelling the sync. Then when I reconnected the iPod, I had to restore it. I couldnt restore it on my laptop (the computer I was using), it would come up with an error message that said something like "This iPod cannot be restored due to.... (1604)".
Then, I tried restoring it on iTunes on my desktop computer. This worked, and the iPod restored with firmware 4.2.1 and would work. However, all of my music and everything else is on my laptop. So I tried then syncing it with my laptop to get all of my music back, but first started with trying the sync the (less than) 1GB of Apps I have... Again, the iPod is stuck in "Backing Up" and has been for almost an hour now. I have the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3), and its not an issue with Windows as everything else works fine.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Adam

See:
iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Cloud service stuck in "Deleting..." state since July 2014

One of my cloud services has been stuck at the "Deleting..." state in the Azure portal (and also shown as such in VS2013 server explorer) since ~July 2014
I can't interact with the role to do anything with it - and have no idea why it won't go away.
Can anyone suggest what I should do about this? Thanks for any help.

My iTunes is not able to sync the iPhone 4. I'm using windows 7 32bit. At the first step it gets stuck refelcting backing up the phone then nothing happens for ages. I'm using the latest iTUnes version, does anyone have similar prob??? There are no error codes which appear and the iTUNES just gets hanged, is there a solution?

Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

Ipod touch gets stuck on backing up when syncing

when i sync my ipod touch (32g) 3g, it gets stuck on backing up.. I need help..what can i do to get it to sync properly again?

Try moving the backup file(s) to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new file. If/when you get a good backup, you can remove the move backup(s). The backup is located here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

Launch the App Store App. Tap on the featured tab, swipe down to the bottom and tap on your Apple ID. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to Country/Region and change the store in there.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
You will not lose data by resetting.

for the first time since July, icloud is trying to back up my iphone (I've tried dozens of times). Now says it'll take 5 hours to download software update. How can I find out what's really saved in icloud? I'm at work, so will have to disconnect anyway and try when I get home - where dsl/wifi is spotty. I can't win.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.
