IPad crashing during Sync

My iPad has been crashing a lot lately while syncing. It's an iPad 3 running 7.1.1 - been crashing since 7.0 I think. Happens everytime I have a large app (over 200MB) or during movies. Nearly every time. It will do a restart and end sync process. If I'm transferring a movie when it happens the movie will show up in videos but won't be able to play. Apps seem to be stalled in update mode where they can't be opened. I'm on a completely updated Mac Mini, current iTunes version and everything. Anybody else having this issue? Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

I'm running into the very same problem on my 16GB 3G iPad. Almost every time I play video in Safari, not only does the app freeze, but it takes down the entire device. A hard shutdown is the only way to get it back up and running.
If your iPad is freezing while playing video (becomes unresponsive and requires a hard reset) then it quite likely has a H/W problem and needs to be replaced. There will be no S/W fix for this. If you check some of the other threads on this topic you will see that several posters have already done this.
Note that a freeze is distinct from simple network or server problems which cause a video to pause. Nor is a freeze the same as a App crash, e.g., Netflix exits to home page. A freeze locks up the iPad and may also be accompanied by artifacts in the video display.

Why dose iTunes 10.4.1.10 crashes during sync in windows 7?

I have an issue with iTunes 10.4.1.10, apparently it crashes just before the sync process finishes. It all started after the last iTunes update. Running windows 7 64bit, what are my options to correct this issue?

Same thing is happening to me when I sync my ipad2 with iTunes 10.4.1.10 using Windows Vista Basic. Previously it worked but now for some reason, it crashes during sync of photos. I can sync a few photo directories at a time, but when I try to sync all photo directories or more than some magical number of photos, it crashes. I would love to find out what I can do about this.

Crash during sync, now all my apps are gone.

My laptop and iphone crashed during a sync. Laptop would lock up as soon as the phone was plugged in, and the phone started random reboots and freezes.
I reinstalled WinXP and itunes on the laptop, but still could not sync. The phone would come up "sync in progress", but then nothing happened. Left it sit overnight, and sync still would never complete.
Restored the phone to factory settings, and now everything seems fine. Only problem is that all of my downloaded apps are gone. I can see the history where I purchased them in the itunes store but they are not in itunes. If I try to reload them it wants me to pay for them again. Is there any way to recover previously purchased apps?

You can re-download purchased apps for free. Click on buy, click yes to I want to purchase, another popup will appear, you have already purchased, do you want to re-download, click yes.

Ipad crashes on syncing

Since the upgrade to 4.2 I can't sync my Ipad. Every time i plug it in it starts the process and then crashes the Ipad, freezing the bar on Itunes. I have tried restoring the Ipad from the backup and I have also tried reinstalling itunes. I am running itunes on a windows 7 PC. Any one got any other tips I can try to make it work? Thanks

Yep. Mine is doing the same thing. Every couple syncs (I usually do one every day) is hanging in the backup phase. The only way I have been able to get it to work again is to first do a complete reset on my iPad (pressing both buttons)*; trying to shut it down only yields a forever spinning wheel. Then I delete the most resent file in the Mobilesync > Backup folder. Then it syncs fine for another couple times; then hangs again.
Help us Apple!
* if I don't do this I get the message "iTunes could not back up the iPad because a session could not be started with the iPad" and "iTunes could not sync information to the iPad because another sync session was already running".

Desktop Manager Crashes During Sync Phase with Notes Calendar

Hello All,
My Destop Software continually crashes at the point of Syncing with Lotus Notes Calendar. Every other part of Syncing with Notes works fine and sometimes I get a partial Sync with the Calendar, but consistently every time it crashes during this part of the process and then I get the Windows error window saying the software has encountered a problem and needs to close. Here are some other facts to help.
I am running V4.7 of the Destop Manager, latest downloaded from this web site.
PC is Win XP Proffesional, 2002 SP2. 3Gb RAM Duo Core 2GH
I have uninstalled/re-installed the Desktop Manager twice
I get other C Runtime errors with Device Manager on a random basis.
I have a BB Storm.
Anything else?
I have emailed the BlackBerry Support but seems to be a Black Hole with no response despite prompting them several times since putting in the email. I am a relatively educated PC user, My laptop is near new, I have many simple and sohpisticated applications installed with a (other than the BB Desptop application) very clean, well maintained and error free operating environment. This is a very disappointing BB first time experience.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
What version of Lotus notes would that be?
Is this is this server based, an island, or standalone Lotus notes?
Are you setup as BES or BIS?
Thanks,

HT4061 ipad crashes when sync with itunes

hi there my ipad crashes everytime i sync to itunes.

I am also having the same problems. My Itunes never really freezes, it just continually shows that it is syncing with my 160Gb Classic, but only loads about 10 songs (out of my 10,000 song library) each time. I have reset, restored, reinstalled numerous times and have tried every fix in every blog that I can find. I haven't yet tried the outlook fix mentioned here. If that doesn't work, I'm out of options. I even tried syncing with Winamp and had problems there as well. GGGrrrrr!!!!

Ipad crashes while syncing iPad

Uploaded Itunes 10.4(80) and now sync crashes when syncing my iPad (version1). Error only says "iTunes quit unexpectedly". Reinstalled iTunes and same problem. Any have any help?

I started having the exact same problem after upgrading to iTunes 10.4. Actually iTunes was crashing when syncing music as well as photos to my iPad 2, but Apple had me do a complete restore on my iPad 2 which stopped the crashes when syncing music (so far as I restored from backup after doing the sync), but I would still crash when optimizing 2 new photos I was trying to sync.
I renamed the iPod cache folder and iTunes optimized about 2500 out of 2700 photos and then crashed. I ended up restoring the iPod cache folder and then syncing one album at a time. It crashed trying to sync photos from my iPhone so I simply deleted the 2 new photos and it synced.
I have a feeling though if I try to sync any new photos it will crash again. I may have to restore again, but this time not restore from sync which would be a major PITA.

Itunes 10.6.3.25 crash during sync with ipad

After installing the latest iTunes 10.6.3.25, I can no longer fully sync my iPad 2.
- after the sync has started, I see the backup complete but some time after that i will get one of a series of errors such as cannot write file to ipad, an unknown error has occured, etc. If I try to eject the ipad, iTunes then freezes. If I use the taskmanager to close iTunes I get either a black screen with a flashing mouse cursor (which requires a power off to solve) or occassionally I can end the iTunes program via the task manager.
Syncing works fine on my iPhone 3GS.
I have already uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it - with no change in behaviour.
After trying to sync about 20 times, I have slowly managed to get about 80% of my stuff on the ipad.
Can anyone suggest how to relove this?
Thanks.

1. Yes, you need to buy a new OS. Mac OS X 10.6 requires a Mac with an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.
2. It won't erase your files unless a problem occurs. Back up everything anyway; this can be done with Time Machine or by creating a bootable clone, and requires an external drive.

ITunes 11.0.4 crashes during sync of multiple iOS devices

I am helping a coworker out with an issue he is having with his PC (Windows 7 64bit). He just recently updated to iTunes 11.0.4 and tried to sync an iPhone, iPod, and two iPads. At first iTunes would crash as soon as it would open, so I turned off the auto sync. Then I connected the device and during the sync (step 2 of 5) iTunes would crash. I went through and unchecked everything so that it wouldn't actually sync anything and it still crashed. I reinstalled iTunes straight from apple.com and still had the same problem. I will be looking at it again tomorrow and plan on completely removing iTunes and then reinstalling rather than the reinstall/repair accompanied with a restart of everything. Does anyone have any other ideas on what I could do?

ITunes crashed during sync, now Podcasts have sound but no video.

My wife has a 5th gen 30GB iPod. It has the latest system software from iPod Updater, and we're running the latest iTunes.
Yesterday she was doing a sync, and iTunes crashed on her in the middle of it. Now, even with an iPod Restore and reset, and a restart of her Windows XP machine, Podcasts won't play properly on the iPod. They play fine in iTunes, but only the audio portion plays on the iPod. Non-Podcast video (such as music videos) plays fine on the iPod.
What happened here? What's wrong?
Thanks for any help in solving this.

An update (and a solution):
Looks like the iTunes crash was only a clue as to what was happening elsewhere, and a slightly misleading clue at that.
Video Podcasts were placing themselves in the "Music" section on the iPod, and it was from there that we were attempting to play them. This worked just fine until iTunes's crash. After the crash, only the audio part would play.
It was only late last night that after lots of investigation my wife discovered that the video Podcasts were ALSO installing themselves into a "Videos > Video Podcasts" sub section!
It's stupidly obvious now, but was not yesterday: Video Podcasts will only play the audio portion when played from the "Music" section, but will play both audio and video when played from "Video > Video Podcasts". For some reason we had not discovered the "Video Podcasts" subsection until last night.
Then a second solution was discovered to have been necessary. One Podcast video still would not play properly, even from the correct section. This turned out to be due to a need to "Convert" it to play on the iPod. This page has the answer to that:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301461
iTunes online Help has all the answers to this, but we thought it was an iPod problem, and the iPod manual was no help at all. The answers to this in iTunes Help are found under:
"Browsing and watching videos"
and
"Converting a video to work with iPod"
It really helps to PRINT those two subjects, so you can refer to the paper page instead of trying to toggle back and forth between the iTunes screen and its Help screen.
I hope this topic helps someone else.

IPhoto crashed during sync, photos lost .. can I recover?

So I plugged my iPhone in, iTunes opens & I open iPhoto. Whilst iPhoto syncs I choose to delete photos once it's finished. Stupidly started doing something else at the same time and then both iTunes & iPhoto crash. I end up having to restart. Look at my phone and all 100 photos have gone .. check iPhoto and they are not there either
There are a load of text files that look like they should be the images, but they're not.
Is there any way to restore lost photos? (I don't think the iTunes sync had finished up either so I can't restore to a previous time). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Imogen

If you took the photos with your phone, they might be still part of your last iphone backup, if you did not back up after the crash. "About backups": http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

Itunes crashed during sync and now it wont sync my apps?????

i was syncing my itunes and was updating my itunes which i minimized away, and then suddenly itunes crashed and itunes kept updating i closed the update and went back on and finished the sync but some apps i purchased werent there. i have since updated itunes thinking that would help but no luck there. how can i fix this?

In iTunes, go to the App store and download the apps again.
If you log in with the same account that they were purchased with, you will not have to pay for them again.
Golden rule, do not try to update the itunes software at the same time syncing your phone.
I would expect iTunes to want to shut its self down while updating and if you are syncing at the same time, then its very possible to loose all your info. You were probably lucky only to loose some Apps

IPod Crashed During Sync And Now Its Dead...

Hi guys,
While syncing my other ipod touch to my computer, i don't know how it happened, but the ipod crashed, and then froze. iTunes said the sync had completed, but the ipod still displayed a frozen 'sync in progress screen'. I hard reset it because it was the only thing that i could do. Now, all that is displayed is an apple logo, however, it does show up in itunes.
Is a restore required? Please advise...

I fixed it. Yay for me.
