Iphone 3gs causes Itunes to lock up

I purchased an Iphone 3Gs a few days ago. Since bringing it home, it locks up my Itunes when trying to sync the Iphone. My Ipod touch also does this. I have version 4.2.1 on my Iphone, and as far as I know have upgraded my Itunes to the current update. I have uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled the 64 bit version. Still locks up. I need some guidance from the people who know what they are doing. Any ideas? Thanks,
Benji

I had the same issue, but even when I disabled my Antivirus software it had the same issues. However I found a fix. Go to your Antivirus software and go to the trusted applications. Then select iTunes.exe as a truted appilcation, allow it to connect to devices or USB, depending on how integrated your AV software is with your PC. Once I did that my iPhone was able to sync up with iTunes and down load the upgrades and my applications along with my Music.

  • IPhone 4 causes iTunes to lock up during backup

    So, this just came out of the blue.  I went to sync my iPhone 4 and it refused to make it past the backing up, much less sync.  I tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, deauthorizing and reauthorizing, and now iTunes won't even recognize the presence of my phone, although it will open iTunes automatically which then locks up and quits responding and does not even attempt to back up any longer.  Pulling my hair out here....what do?

    I found some other people having the same problem and I think I figured it out:
    Go to "Start" in Windows (I am assuming you are running Windows) and hit "Run..."
    Type in "cmd" to get you into DOS command mode and then when the DOS command prompt window comes up type "NETSH WINSOCK RESET" and hit your "Enter" button.  Then reboot.  My phone just got done syncing and backing up and everything is back to normal.
    Apparently there was a recent Windows update that caused issues with iTunes and Winsock and they won't play nice together until you do this.
    I found this information in the forums and there were a couple of other things people suggested like clearing your sync history and backups in Preferences, but, some of the later posts said that it was the Winsock thing that did the trick.  Worked for me.  If it doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll try to find the full procedure and send it to you.

    I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed? I did select manual manage, and i included voice memos.
    But, the memos on the iPhone simply don't appear in iTunes. How can I get the memos from the phone to iTunes?

    Would this matter then? can you not update the 3g to the lastest software?

    DO NOT sync your iPhone or all your music will be lost. 
    Use a music transfer software like Senuti to move your music from your iPhone to yur Computer/iTunes.

    How can I recognized an iPhone 3GS on iTunes 11.0.4.4 version on PC Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3?

    Plug the device into the computer and iTunes will detect it.  If that is not working, then stating as such would be a good start.

  • Installing iOS 4.1 on iPhone 3Gs using iTunes 9.2.1

    I'm trying to instal iOS 4.1 on an iPhone 3Gs using iTunes 9.2.1 with no luck, it seems. When I follow the instructions as per the Apple website I just get a message saying "This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version". Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on here. Also, I cannot update to iTunes 10 as I am running OSX 10.4.11 and I can't upgrade to OSX 10.5 as I've only got a iMac G5. I'm hoping that I am not stuck in a corner with this one.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I can't upgrade to OSX 10.5 as I've only got a iMac G5.
    Someone else can probably assist with the 4.1 installation issue, but you can indeed install Mac OS X 10.5.x on your iMac G5. It's 10.6, Snow Leopard, that requires an Intel-based Mac. Mac OS X 10.5 is getting a bit hard to find, but it's possible that the Apple Store will still have copies if you call them. 10.5 is not on their web site, but they still had copies of 10.4 long after 10.5 was released, so it's worth a try. If not, a dealer may still have copies, or you may be able to find a retail copy of 10.5 from another user who upgraded to Snow Leopard on a site like eBay (caution: make sure you get the retail, black-label, disk, not the system disk that shipped with another model of Mac).
    Regards.

    Which version of Cydia appears on the iPhone - the one
    with the black and white icon or a different one?
    If it was jailbroken, contact the developers of the jailbreak.
    Not all jailbreaks can be completely removed.
    Google may provide some direction.
