I am unable to use Itunes because it freezes when I plug my Iphone 3g in.
Hi,
I needed a phone, so my brother gave me his old Iphone 3g. I instantly downloaded the latest itunes (10.5.3) and I purchased some songs and application at itunes store. Unfortunately when I plug my iphone in it freezes itunes and I can't put anything on the phone. My iphone has absolutely nothing on the phone, no songs, apps, contacts, nothing.
I have tried for about a week now. Looking at forums on the internet and downloading alternatives to itunes like media monkey and foobar and alot of other programs to be able to put music on my phone.I spoke to my brother and he had no troubles at all with the phone.
I have no idea what to do. PLEASE HELP.
PC/Laptop- HP Pavilion dv6-2109AX
Windows 7
Iphone 3g
Software: 4.2.1
I have tried plugging the iphone in different ports. I heard you need to plug it into a 2.0 usb port, but I tried all of them. I don't know if my laptop has 2.0 usb ports because it still didn't work.
I tried reinstalling itunes the correct order multiple times but that didn't work.
I tried deleting the crash files that I didnt even have. I don't have the appdata file to delete its contents, if I do I couldn't find it.
I had to delete my virus software and disable it while I plugged my iphone in.I restarted my computer multiple times and restored my computer a few times and also deleted alot of useless files and movies to make my computer run faster.
As soon as I plug my iphone in, itunes instantly freezes. When unplugged itunes instantly unfreezes.
Also I have the original Iphone charger.
HELP! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
Thanks in advance. (:

ITunes 10.3.1 Freezes when I plug in iPhone, various other problems
I've had loads of problems with iTunes, Windows 7, and my iPhone 4 which I got in february (along with the iPod Touchs I've owned in the past.)
Today, my problem is this. Every time I open itunes, it opens fine, and everything is okay. But when I plug in my iPhone 4, things stop working. One of the following things will happen:
A) iTunes will completely stop responding for 3+ minutes, until it finally gives up trying to find the iPhone. Even if my iPhone is still plugged in, iTunes wont recognize that it's plugged in and acts like nothing is plugged in. My iPhone does not sync, and it acts as if it's plugged into a wall charging port.
B) iTunes freezes for a second, then asks me to either restore a backup of my iPhone (deleting everything on my iPhone since all the backups seem to be from ages ago), or start as a new iPhone. I click start as a new iPhone, and it tries to make a backup, and for some reason it says that my iPhone 4 (32 gig capacity) only has 4 gigs TOTAL space on it, and then when the backup finally finishes, iTunes will freeze up and I have to close it down.
I've tried everything to fix these garbage issues that no one should be having (I've been having these issues since before 10.3), but nothing has worked. I've reinstalled iTunes, restarted my computer, restored the device to factory settings, updated the device via Device Manager, nothing works.
If anyone has a fix so that I can sync my iPhone at all (let alone in a fast manner, which I've NEVER been able to do), I'll be a little less inclined to ditch my iPhone ASAP.
Specs:
iPhone 4 32 gig
iTunes 10.3.1
Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
Intel Core i7 CPU Processor 860 @ 2.8 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Card
4 gigs RAM
300 gig hard drive (108 gigs space left on it).I have the same issue. I took it the genius bar and called talked to tier 2 phone support. They have standard thing where you uninstall all apple software in a certain order and then reinstall 64bit itunes. That did nothing (tried it 4 times).
I've gotten two clues so far.
One is that at the store if I plug someone else's iphone 4 in then itunes acts the same way. So it is not the phone. Two is tier 2 phone support told me to try syncing it with a fresh user account (an admin one). I did that and itunes was just fine, it did not freeze.
So there appears to be some conflict with the software, music files, whatever that is on my current user account (also an admin account). I ran virus and malware detectors and found nothing. Now I'm going to try putting my music, movies, apps, etc in the new user account and see if the phone will sync then.
I know its not much but thats where I'm at. I hope it helps. -
After 4.3, iTunes no longer opens when I plug my iPhone in to sync
I downloaded the most recent update. Now, when I plug in my iPhone to sync/charge, only iPhoto opens and iTunes will not. I have the box checked in iTunes to open iTunes when the phone is connected but it doesn't and I have to open it manually. Bug????

Problem SOLVED. Somehow iTunesHelper disappeared from Login Items. Not sure what caused this, but here's how to fix the problem.
Goto System Preferences:Accounts:Login Items. Check to see if iTunesHelper is listed and not unknown. If it is unknown, delete it. Then go to Finder, find iTunes, and Control-Click to Show Package Contents. Go to Contents:MacOS and you'll see iTunesHelper. Now just drag this into the Login Items window in System Preferences and check the Hide box. Restart your Mac and iTunes should now start whenever an iOS device is connected.
THIS WORKS - just do this and ituneshelper gets reinstalled -

This is getting so frustrating, I last synced my iphone in september and it worked fine, as i've just imported a new cd I wanted to sync to get it on my phone - anybody help to get a more uptodate software on my iphone, please
iTunes runs on your computer, not your phone. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer. If you're using a Mac, and running OS X 10.5, you will need to upgrade OS X first.

I just bought a ipod touch. I am unable to use it because itunes tells me I have no internet connection (unknown error 306). I have tried all the suggestions I can find, including checking the firewall, the no proxy server is checked, resetting cache on itunes, I even scanned the computer with Registry Easy but nothing worked. I use Mozilla Firefox and have a PC with Windows 7. Obviously, buying a ipod and being unable to use it for 3 days (and counting) because I am unable to register it, is pretty frustrating. Can anyone help?
Did you try all of this:
iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Access iTunes preferences:
On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Parental Controls tab.
Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.
For more information on other security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues. -
Hello everybody! Being Italian I apologise in advance for my english, if something isn't clear feel free to ask!
Now, to the problem: since two days I'm unable to use iTunes Match at all.
In the past days I was organising my library in playlists, when yesterday I noticed that some songs weren't in the playlists they were supposed to be in. I noticed also that near the Music tab there wasn't the usual empty cloud icon, but instead there was a cloud with a lightning bolt in it.
I searched and discovered that I had a connection problem. I restarted my PC and my router, only to notice that everything was the same as before I restarted the PC. I then tried to click the cloud, it became filled with the usual "barbershop pole" pattern, and then it seemed to work. When I tried to put a song in a random playlist, again the lightning bolt.
I tried to turn off iTunes Match (both with or without the Shift key), I unauthorized the PC, I logged out of my account, but to no avail. The iTunes Match "Add this computer" procedure works fine, but afterwards I cannot update any of my playlists.
Thinking that all this could be Windows-related, I tried the same with my MacBook Pro, but everything wasn't working as well. I couldn't use iTunes Match on my iPhone and on my iPod touch either.
Yesterday night, at around 11.30PM GMT+1, everything seemed to work, but having to go to university the day after I turned off the PC and went to sleep, only to find out that today we're back to square one. Nothing works on any device, when I click the lightning bolt the cloud becomes empty, but when I do something on my playlists the bolt appears again. Having said that, I don't think I have a network problem. I can connect to the internet as usual, i can use the iTunes store and the App Store and (from time to time) I can even download songs from my iTunes Match on my main PC. The playlists changes and the whole music library still don't appear on the iPhone/iPod touch and the Mac though.
I just entered in the second year of subscription to iTunes Match. Almost no problems at all for more than a year, and less than two months after I paid for the second year all this happens... I'm not very happy. I just hope someone of you has an answer, because I searched in every corner of this community but I didn't find any solutions.
Thanks in advance for your answers,
AlessandroJust to let everybody know, the problem disappeared totally on friday. Now everythiing works again, I lost nothing and I still can access all of my songs.
I waited a bit because you never count your chicken before they're hatched, but after three days I can cry "victory".
Thanks anyway to anybody who viewed my question and thought a possible solution for my problem!

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

Thanks for the welcome and the reply!
I looked at KB25882 and my settings are good, so that didn't help.
I had this problem over a year ago, and someone at RIM found a bit set that shouldn't have been set and fixed it (that is my terminology for what happened).
I am really looking for a way to contact RIM directly. I hate going through the mill with my carrier to get it escalated to RIM for resolution...... <sigh>
Hi mgpainter
Most easiest way to Contact RIM is through your Carrier but as you don't prefer that than there is another way of support called Incident Based Support but just want to inform you that its not free.If you want have a try BlackBerry Incident Based Support .
Good Luck
