ITunes keeps freezing while syncing iPhone 4s

Hi all,
This is an issue which seemingly came out of nowhere... sometime early-mid June, my iTunes stopped working with my Iphone 4s. This has been plaguing me since, and no matter what I have tried, nothing seems to be working. I have been reading through all sorts of related threads, but nothing seems to be working. iTunes has no problems recognizing the iPhone, whether over wireless or wired. When I attempt to sync my phone via wifi, it prompts me saying the session failed to start because the iPhone can not be found, or it simply disappears from the left bar. While trying to sync the phone via USB, the sync session starts as normal, backs up with no issue, transfers app purchases, etc, and proceeds to the final stages to update the music on my phone (sometimes Step 5, sometimes Step 6, and sometimes Step 7).
EVERYTIME without fail since the issue started, iTunes will completely freeze and render itself unresponsive. During the music sync, it may sync as many as 300 songs before freezing, or as few as 2. The spinning arrows indicating it is syncing stop rotating, and there is no functionality with iTunes and I am forced to start the Task Manager and End Program, or more often than not, completely reboot my computer.
I have tried multiple solutions presented in various threads, to no avail. I have tried restoring my phone, which gave me the most hope during the process, but sure enough, on the final step and syncing music, it froze at song 271 of 600.
Can someone PLEASE provide some insight into this issue? I know plenty of other people have experienced this, I am hoping to solve this soon as I am sure you can all understand it is EXTREMELY frustrating.
As a side note, I have plugged my iPad 2 in (also running iOS 5.1.1), and it worked fine!?
Thanks in advance.

Have you received any resolution on this? I've been having the same problem for some time and it was working intermittently, no not at all. NEED HELP PLEASE!!!

TS4062 itunes stops working while syncing with ipad

Itunes progam closes while syncing with itunes.
Please advise

This is happening to me too.., updated to latest Itunes/McCloud etc directly beforehand. Tried to sync ipad.., keeps saying ITunes has stopped working (I have W7 Ultimate too).
I can see several slightly different ways of resolving this (most seem to involve completely uninstalling ITunes, Quicktime etc.) but a bit confused as to which one is the best way. I don't expect to pay the money I have for an IPAD and then not be able to do the simplest thing with it (synch pc with Ipad) lol.., and have to spend hours trying to install and completely install different apps.
Could someone please have mercy on me and let me know which way works?

Ipod and itunes(especially itunes)will freeze while syncing

i pod and itunes will freeze while syncing, all apps are there, but no music?Itunes says ipod has latest updates, I reinstalled Itunes, powered off/ sleep a couple times still not syncing any help? Thanks

Which application are you watching the videos..... QuickTime, VLC, etc.? Which version? If QT are you using v10 or v 10.7.x? The latter is located inside your Utilities folder. If using VLC, you should be using the latest version.
Type of video files = .mov, .mp4, .mkv, etc.?

My itunes keeps closing

My itunes keeps closing, i have tryed uninstalling and reinstalling.
its says itunes has encountered a problem and windows can not find a solution.
Please can someone help
thanks

Hello Rhys Eyre,
You can upgrade to OS X v.10.6.8 (if you still use 10.6.5). We don't know yet if Lion is required to install Montain Lion.
For your iTunes problem :
- Did you try to repair the permissions (with Disk Utility in your Applications > Utilities folder) ?
- Do you have the last version of iTunes (v. 10.6) ?
If not, you can dowload it here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
- You can try to delete iTunes' preferences, to do that go to yourusername > Library > Preferences and delete every file that contains the name iTunes.
Hope this will help.

Itunes keeps closing as soon as i open it and states 'windows has detected a problem' HELP!!!!

Help!! Itunes keeps closing straight away and message states 'windows has detected a problem' HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

Itunes keep crashing on sync with ipad

itunes keeps crashing on sync with ipad. Eveyrthing was good up until the 5th of june. any ideas

If you have tried 1, 2 & 3 below, next thing I'd try is call Apple support at this link: http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
Or you can take it to an Apple store to see an expert.
1) Deinstall and reinstall itunes on the computer.
2) On the ipad, Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
3) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.

I have iphone 4g and have updated to ios6 an updated itunes 2, but while sync itunes freezes and iphone is not sybc fully, finally i have to disconnect my iphone for itunes to shunt down. Can some one please tell why this is happening?

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

My iTunes keeps freezing during syncing and wont let me put any music on. What do I do?

I have a PC and the newest iPod touch. I was receiving error message -54 while syncing recently so i checked on this site and found out that some of my files could be locked. Sure enough I went through all of my files, found and deleted all the locked ones and wiped my itunes. I then kept getting a error message telling me that the sync session couldn't start. Then I wiped my ipod and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times. But each time I try to sync my ipod, itunes freezes and I have to restart the entire program. I am at a complete loss as to what to do. I have tried everything I could, and have had no luck. The program keeps freezing on me and doens't allow me to sync my ipod or my ipad, so it would seem to be a problem with my itunes but I don't know what to do, nevermind how to fix it.

You will lose all of the content on the ipod, but you will have to restore. If you cannot then follw this:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

(Mavericks) iTunes keeps crashing on sync "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"

I updated my MacBook Air to Mavericks yesterday. When attempting to sync my iPad2 and iPhone4 this morning, iTunes keeps crashing on me.
There seems to be some issues with what it thinks my computer name or my Apple ID is. It keeps referring to them as %1$S
Check out this screenshot on the device Summary page of iTunes, It may be hard to make out the text since the image was resized upon uploading it:
The the top circled item reads "This iPhone is already syncing apps with "%1$S"
The second circled item is the incorrectly sized Check for updates button
The thrid circled item (left) are my Apple ID name and computer name, both referred to as %1$S
The fourth circled item (right) is the text "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on "%1$S".
Is anyone else having these issues after upgrading to Mavericks? Any resolution?

Nevermind, found that there is also an update that Itunes needed this morning to be compatible with Mavericks. After updating all is fine.
Not sure why iTunes update required for Mavericks was not included in Mavericks, but whatever. Hope this helps anyone else who had this issue.

My itunes keep freezing mid sync

I try and sync my iphone 5s to my itunes but it freezes right after it backs up and i tried restarting my computer but it still freezes and i dont understand why

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

ITunes 8 freezes while syncing with iPhone 3G

I am disappointed with iTunes 8 as it freezes when it is syncing with iPhone3G (2.1). I noticed that the phenomenon regularly occurs when certain music files and/or podcast files are being transferred. As a result, I cannot copy all the music/podcast files to my iPhone. This started immediately after upgrading to iTunes 8.
I wonder if this is related to Japanese OS (Windows XP, SP3) as I am aware that some other Japanese also have similar (probably identical) problems according to a discussion board on the internet.
Any suggestions and comments are welcomed.

I have an iPhone 3g 2.1 + OS x 10.5.5 and itunes 8.0.1.
While syncing:
The backup routine takes forever, but completes eventually.
Then it tries to sync applications, notably Texas "HoldEm" game. At this point iTunes is unresponsive.
To get everything going again, I have to quit iTunes, and restart the iPhone. Then I can try again, but it fails again at the same point.
