Help! My iPhone 4 is stuck on 'Cancelling sync'!! Can I Unplug the phone?

iTunes is stuck on 'Syncing iPhone' and the iPhone Will not open 'iPod'. A message pop's up saying "Cancelling sync"
Can I unplug the phone? Its 4:20AM now, I am tired and the phone has been attempting to cancel for an hour!
Is the sync just to check the music? I put half-a-million songs on there..
Hope you can reply ASAP.. My head hurts.

I had this happen to me on the 25th when my sync kept popping up with errors and I couldn't do anything to iTunes except click ok on the error pop-ups, so I tried to cancel it from the phone ... After a little while of waiting, I finally unplugged it and when I reconnected it, it forced me to do a restore. After several attempts to get by without having to restore (restarting computer/phone, trying different USB ports, etc) I finally caved and restored from my latest backup. Usually a restore only takes a few minutes, but this one was going realllllly slow. It ended up failing with some error code. So I unplugged it, plugged it back in, and this time it didn't say I had to restore... It ended up syncing fine this time around. Hopefully yours worked better

It's a security risk to post your IMEI number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.

I need to shut my zoom off on my Iphone 5, it is to large and can't use the phone.

I have a iphone 5 from a person. Been learning how to use it by myself. I went to accessibilty and clicked on Zoom and was experimenting with it and got the screen to large and can't get it back to normal, now I can't use the phone because it is magnified so much. Tried to connect to help but couldn"t see the message that Apple sent to me on my phone. Don't have all the specs because the party was out of state from where she lived therefore I have any more info. Please help.

To turn off Zoom double-tap the screen with three fingers.

IPhone 5 not recognizing SIM card, I can't activate the phone.

Hi, everybody.
A couple of days ago, I bought an iPhone 5 from a friend. I have an iPhone 4 and, as you know, they both have different SIM card sizes (4 uses micro size and 5 uses nano size). When I got the iPhone 5, I restored it to factory settings, but couldn't activate it 'cause I didn't have the nano SIM card (or SIM nano card, anyhow it goes), so I just turned it off. Next morning, I went to my mobile carrier to buy a nano SIM card (they took like 28 hours long to activate it…anyway) but the iPhone is not recognizing it, so I cannot activate it.
I've gotten stuck in the white "Hello" screen for like 3 days already and I'm running desperate 'cause I wanna use my stupid iPhone 5…
Please, guys, any help?
EDIT: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a way to restore it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes 'cause he said that from iPhone 4S onwards all phones have to be restored with a SIM card inserted. Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…

EDIT 2: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen message saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a method for restoring it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes (connect the phone to computer, turn it off, hold both Home and Power buttons until the Apple logo disappears, release the Power button without releasing Home button, iTunes shows a message about an iPhone in restoring mode, restore, etc.). Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…
Please, help

My beatz speaker doesn't appear in my iPhone 5's Bluetooth menu. How can I get the phone to recognize the speaker?

Any ideas?

Read the instruction manual that came without to figure out how to unpair it from the iPhone 4.
Try to pair with the iPhone 5 after that.

HT1386 When an iPhone is plugged into the wall outlet and is synced with iTunes, does the phone need to be ejected on iTunes like it would be if connected to the computer, or is it just fine to disconnect from the wall?

I am wondering if I need to eject my iPhone from iTunes or if it is fine to unplug the phone without ejecting.

If it's connected to your computer and synced with iTunes you should eject it. If it's only plugged into a wall outlet and not your computer, just unplug it (since there's nothing to eject it from).

IPad stuck in "canceling sync" after downloading 2.1

After downloading the 2.1 version of the software for iPad, the iPod function is stuck in "canceling sync." I have read everything I can find on here and it seems the answer is to sync with iTunes on my computer. Unfortunately, when I try to do that, I get the response:
This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not
installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install
the 64-bit version of iTunes.
I already had the 64-bit version of iTunes loaded but I deleted it and reloaded it again. I reset the iPad, reset my computer but still can't sync.
HELP!!!

Hi ...
Could be your USB connection. Follow the instructions here.

The product that I purchased is not working!!!! I need help and I've been stuck in your "Contact us loop" for the last few days and I'm getting frustrated. How do I contact you for HELP!

Probably the best place to start is the right forum for your product. This is the forum for Distiller Server, a long dead product used by big companies, and probably not what you have. If you can't find the right forum, please let us know the FULL name of what you paid for (please check your invoice, as Adobe have many similar products), and we can perhaps direct you. Good luck!

Place your iPhone in manual recovery mode or DFU mode.
1. Connect your iPhone

3. Hold down the home and power button for 8 seconds. After 8 sec, let go of the power but still hold down the home button until iTunes recognize your phone in recovery mode

I need to update my Iphone but I don't know where to begin. The phone is plugged into my computer, but I
don't know what to do after that. Thanks for any help!!

Before updating, import all you photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or another service such as Google, with a supported application such as Outlook or Address Book, or using an app like My Contacts Backup. Then open iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click on Check for Update.

IPhone 4s with latest software cancels sync at random times and doesnt display all music

iPhone 4s with latest software cancels sync at random times. When I manually manage music and re-sync it it still cancels the sync half way through, but shows all songs I manually copied on the phone within iTunes. On unplugging the songs dont display.
Have already tried changing the language, doing a hard reset, updating the itunes software, unchecking all songs and only checking the songs I want synced, deleting the songs that the sync stops at from iTunes. Still doesnt work.
Any ideas? Not too bothered about the syncing part if necessary I can manually move music I just need to know how to make it display on the phone when it is not plugged in to the computer?
Dont say wipe the phone and start again thats not an option for me.
Thanks

Instead of deleting I just re-imported everything over the top so iTunes has the links again. Now more songs have imported but when I get to a certain group of songs it cancels the sync.
I can see all the imported music I import on my phone but most of it is not clickable to play.
What happened originally was I cancelled a sync mid way, since then when iTunes tries to sync it always cancels at a certain point. Is there a way to effectively clear the cache of iTunes so it doesnt remember cancelling the sync before. I have tried updating iTunes and it doesnt work. Maybe if I uninstall then re-install?
Thanks
