Ipad hangs during backup

Hello,
I have both an iPhone and iPad-1. Both running the latest OS (4.3.3)
The IPhone will synch with my PC (windows 7 - iTunes 10.2.2) without any issue.
The iPad, however, stops at about the 85% mark.
I can cancel the synch on the IPad, but iTunes is still continuing to Synch.
I have tried re-stting the iPad, and re-starting the PC, all to no avail.
Thanks for any help.
Tony

I realize that there are multiple problems that are causing the hang up. But here is what i found out:
I noticed that there was a process that was taking up 50% of the CPU. When i would load ITunes to sync it would go to 100%, therefore locking up the sync in the beginnign to middle of the backup phase. When i looked at Task manage and selected all users i noticed that the system was running AppleMobileDevice.exe and it was using 50% of CPU (nothing else loaded). Somehow when i upgraded to the new version of itunes to be able to sync my new ipad, something must of happened to cause this. I called Apple support and at first they said i would need to uninstall all the itunes programs. But then they mentioned that they have seen a quick fix with a Winsock reset that has fixed the issue.
They transfered me to a senior technical support person and she walked me through the reset. It was as simple as going to the command prompt and typing "NET WINSOCK RESET" (then reboot) and it completed resolved the issue of the sync process locking up in the backup stage for me. The tech person mentioned that if you get the error “remount LSP” say no.
You might want to call them and mention the winsock issue and have them walk you through it. I may not have remembered the command 100% correctly.
I would highly recommend that you check the CPU usage when you feel that you are locked up and see if you are at the 100% level. This is probably why i see a lot of notes on dicussion boards that it is taking hours to go through the sync process.... Hope this helps...

IPhone/iTunes sync hangs during "backup" phase

When I plug my iPhone into my Mac, a sync with iTunes starts. That's fine; what's not fine is that the synchronization always "hangs" during the "Backing up your iPhone" phase. If I click the little "X" on the iTunes display window, it proceeds fine, presumably skipping the backup phase of the sync.
How can I stop this from hanging during the synchronization?
Thanks.

I have been experiencing this problem lately as well. I've been using an Iphone for over a year now and this is a NEW problem in the last 30-45 days.
My Iphone takes over an hour and a half to complete the backup. It appears to be hung but is not.
I also just got off the phone with Apple Tech Support....yeah...that was a waste of time. Essentially, they told me that ALL the data on your iphone goes through the Itunes server across your active internet connection and the time can vary depending upon how busy the server is and how much data is on your Iphone.
Holly Crap!....who designed the architecture for this thing. I don't know about the rest of you, but I find this completely unacceptable. If this continues beyond September, I am switching to a Blackberry. When I connect my Iphone I don't expect to retire before the freakin thing finishes.

IPAD Restarts during Backup

Windows laptop/desktop? The great and powerful Apple doesn't like when you do that. Try backing up to some other crapple device, so they play nicely together.Yes both windows. I'm dumbfounded that they can't seem to make it work. I usually keep my apple devices a few years and I've NEVER had a successful backup old device - restore to new device situation. Blows my mind that the engineers just can't make it work.
Same goes for cell service. We can talk to a probe that was launched 10 years ago and is flying around pluto but I can't send a picture through my phone 10 miles outside of the city. LOL

At the office we are swapping from IPAD 3's to Ipad Air 2's.
I am trying to back up through itunes to a desktop / laptop.
During the process (usually transferring purchases or backing up apps) the Ipad restarts which kills the process.
Any ideas? Tried 2 computers so far.

IPad hangs during restore

I am trying to restore my iPad, but it keeps hanging at the last of the install. I have tried starting over several times with the same result. HELP!!!!!

Hi,
Make sure you are using the cable that came with your iPad that connects to your computer, and try a different USB port.
Try charging the battery to 100%, then try to restore again.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

My iPad won't backup to my computer during sync

Since downloading iOS5, my iPad won't backup during sync with my computer. It tries to start, then just sits there. Any ideas? I'm working off of Windows7 on my computer and have already tried the Restore function.
Thanks!

first of all make sure your icloud storage isn't full. Try plugging your iPad into your computer and click on icloud.
And if non of this helps either contact your local apple store or visit it when you get the chance.
I hope something helped.

ITunes sometimes freezes during backup phase of syncing

Usually every day or two when I plug my iPhone in to my Mac to Sync (ios 4.1, iTunes 10) it hangs during the backup phase - even if I leave it for hours. I then disconnect the iphone and shut it down but it hangs when it shuts down (just a spinning wheel). I then force restart it and then it syncs with iTunes and but at the end says it was unable to back it up. I then unplug it and plug it back it and then it syncs and backs up fine again. As I said this doesn't happen everytime I sync my phone but usually once in 4-6 syncs. Any ideas on what might be going on here? It has also happened to me once or twice on my iPad so am wondering if it might be an issue on the iTunes side.

This is exactly what's been happening to my iPad for the last month or two. Backups used to be very, very slow before I installed iOS 4.2 but now I have the same problem with a complete backup hang every 5 or so syncs.
I spoke to someone at the Genius Bar when I was there for another reason the other day and he said it was likely to be something to do with photo syncing but I wasn't clear exactly what aspect of photo syncing was causing the problem. Anyone got any ideas?

IPad 1 iCloud backup has stopped working

I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 1 both of which backup to iCloud. All has been working well for a while now. A few days ago (30th November in fact) the iPad automatci backup failed to complete (There was a problem completing the backup. Please try again later.). The iPhone 4S is still backing up fine. I tried a mahnual backup on the iPad - same result. Then I tried truning off iCloud backup on the iPad, deleting the backup in Icloud, re-enabling it on the ipad and doing a manual backup (i.e. a new full backup). Same error; backup runs for several minutes (progress bar is over 75% complete) and then stops with this message.
This is clearly not a connectivity issue (my WiFi and Intetrnet conneciton are fine and I can backup my iPhone 4S with no problem) but something related to iCloud and/or the device.
Any suggestions for resolving this? For now I am having to backup to my PC but I would really like to get iCloud backup working again on my iPad.
Chris

Chris...
Try "resetting" a device when you have problems with a backup.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
And even though you don't think it's a connectivity issue, a connection can still time out with Wi-Fi during a backup.
This may also help. Tap Settings > General > Network > Reset Network Settings

E71 Hangs During Call Reception

I purchased my Nokia E-71 about three months ago. I expected this phone to be up to par since it is considered an "Enterprise" phone. This my second firmware upgrade. My phone's current version is 200.21.118. To my surprise it hangs during call reception. It totally freezes; even the red power on/off button is not functional. The only resort is to unplug the battery and plug it back on. It's very exasperating to lose a business call, especially if it was an international one.
I call on Nokia to listen and pay attention to their customers and be responsible before it get deserted.

I understand your feelings but this is a user to user forum. There is no guarantee that your concerns will be seen by Nokia here and you will certainly not get a reply from them.
If you wish to contact them, you should use the "Contact us" tab on the top right hand corner of this screen.
With regards your problem, if it only started after the update then it is most probably a software issue which we would hope to help you resolve. We just have to go through a process of elimination, starting with the most likely and least disruptive. Whatever you do, always remember to backup your data just in case.

ITunes 10.5 hangs during iPhone 4 sync

Just installed iTunes 10.5 and attempted to sync iPhone 4/4.3.5 several times. The process hangs while "Backing up" with the status bar right under the t in (Step 1 of 5). I've swiped the phone to cancel, which leaves iTunes continuing on as if the phone were still syncing. I used Task Manager to quit iTunes on Win Vista, restarted iTunes and attempted to sync again. Hangs in the same place. So, I restarted the computer, restarted iTunes and it's still hanging during Backing up... I am so frustrated! Help!!!

I've two Windows 7 64 bit desktops.
On the one I've always used which has all my backups, apps, music etc etc I'm having the same problem and I've tried everything including above suggestion, removing and reinstalling, New download, stopping processes using MSCONFIG and Autoruns all to no avail.
On the scond PC it's all working perfectly but I've no backups, apps, data, music or data.
Not happy.

Computer freezes during backup

I'm running Snow Leopard on my 2007 MacBook Pro. I bought and installed a 1 T time capsule in December, and it worked fine for about a month. Then it started hanging up during backups; I thought the problem was interference from open programs. I started making a habit of closing everything before backups started. Tonight I waited about 10 minutes for it to finish backing up about 5 m of data; then synchronization came on automatically. Twenty minutes later neither had finished, so I did the only thing that helps: powering off manually. What's the remedy? Does it help to reinstall Snow Leopard, should I return my time capsule, or just forget about automatic backups? Right now, I have to wait at least 5 or 10 minutes after waking it from sleep before I dare to even check my mail.

I experience similar trouble. Time Capsule use kills my iMac.
We are long-time Apple users and I bought a 2TB time capsule to back-up my new iMac. I set-up for a first back-up using ethernet for speed as recommended. The backup data transfer ran at kbits/sec ! It took days for that first run. Since then the iMac performance went through the floor. Every hour (WHY is that not configureable?)
Because when it's working properly, that's best. If it's not working properly, fix it. Then the hourly backups will be quick and rarely noticed, as they are for most folks.
when TimeMachine kicks-in the 3GHz Core 2 Duo iMac becomes unusable - almost completely frozen. It crashes at least 5 times per day. After a few weeks of misery I disconnect the time capsule and life returned to normal. Today, feeling foolishly optimistic, I reconnected the capsule. Instantly the iMac was in trouble. The spinning wheel of death active in every application as I desperately tried to regain enough control to bring up the force-quit menu. Disconnected the capsule but it was too late and I had to use the power button to restart. All my s/w is up-to-date. All instructions followed 'by the book'.
Really? What "book" was that?
If you just want to complain, please disregard this.
If you want some help fixing it, this is the place. Start by following the suggestions in my previous post. If those don't help, post back with what you've done and the results, and provide some clarification: what crashes at least 5 times per day, Time Machine backups or your Mac?
How much data is on your internal HD, and any other disks being backed-up?
