Iphone 4 and itunes syncing issues

Not sure if this is an itunes issue or iphone4 + itunes issue
So got the new iphone4 and was able to activate, restore backup and sync additional song and videos. After the second or third sync, Itunes started to crash my windows xp when syncing started. I tried syncing with ipod and iphone 3g to see if it was an itunes issue, but they sync fine. Anyone experiencing this or have any thoughts?
Thanks!

Same happening with me, though I can't find the source of what's causing mine to crash. I have not yet synced any music to my iPhone4 so it can't be that. I've deleted my Winnie-the-Pooh book (which i had read elsewhere to be the source) and any free apps that I thought might be the cause too but still, itunes crashes when it starts "backing up iphone".
Can anyone help??
Have just turned my iPhone off and back on again, and deleted an app that I remembered didn't work 100% and now iTunes doesn't crash!

  • IPhoto deleting issues and iTunes syncing issues with IOS 5 on my iPhone.

    While upgrading to IOS 5 my iphone (3gs) would not allow me to restore to back up so I had to restore to original settings, ugh, losing everything on my iphone. Thought this wouldn't be a problem but iTunes won't let me pick and choose what music I want to add anymore even though I have "pick checked music only" checked. It refers now only to full albums, etc, instead of whatever songs I want from each album. I had to create specific playlists with all the music I wanted on my iphone. And it only added one playlist. I have loads of space on my iPhone so don't know what the issue is. Does anyone know why I cannot add more than one playlist?
    Also, I discovered I can't delete iPhoto pics on my iphone. I can trash whatever I add to my Camera Roll but nothing else. I had to designate a specific folder for pictures from iphoto to be added to iphone and those I cannot delete. Anyone know what to do here as well?
    Thanks!
    Found answer to iPhoto question here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7636294#7636294
    ...but still need help with music. thanks

    It's inside the iPhoto Library package.  Open it from the Finder as show in this screenshot:
    Then drag the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Trash, close the package, launch iPhoto and try again.

  • ATV and ITunes Sync issues - Windows Vista

    Greetings everyone,
    For the last 4 or 5 weeks I have had the issue of ITunes and the ATV not syncing unless I reboot the ATV. I am running Vista 32 bit with no firewall on the machine (the router handles it) and Avast Anti Virus. The ATV is "wired" in to the network and has access to the Internet even during the issue of not syncing to ITunes.
    Scenario: I download new content in to ITunes and hit Sync (not the content just the library so I can see it to stream) under my ATV. I receive an error " ATV is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689". Ok no firewall is present to block the port and it works and syncs fine if I reboot the ATV for ONE session. If I download more content it is another reboot of the ATV to sync.
    Any insight would be helpful!

    did you ever get a response or figure out how to set your ATV up? I've got the same problem. Turned off my anti virus and my firewall and I think i've opened the port correctly on my router, but still get the error.

  • IPhone, iCal and Entourage sync issue

    When syncing iPhone, my iCal is updated correctly, however the updates do not make it into Entourage. But when changes are made in Entourage, they make back it into iCal and iPhone
    In iCal, the iPhone updates go into a calendar named "Calendar", the Entourage updates go into a calendar named "Entourage". These two calendars appear to be created as part of the sync process.
    It appears when syncing, Entourage is only pulling up the "Entourage" calendar and ignoring the "Calendar" calendar, which contains my iPhone data. iPhone appears to pull in both calendar's data.
    I've used the merge data selection when asked about syncing.
    Any thoughts on how can I correct either Entourage or iCal to upload all calendars into Entourage?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had just the same issue - sometime after installing iPhone OS 3.0 my Entourage Calendar in iCal stopped syncing, though the calendar in Entourage remained intact and continued to sync with the Exchange server. After going through all of the "sync services reset" protocols I could find, I finally got it to work by clearing the Entourage Calendar Cache. Before doing this, turn off "sync services" in Entourage preferences and make sure your Exchange calendar is synced with the exchange server because this will erase your local version of the Exchange calendar. Next, "control-click" on the calendar folder icon (this is the calendar icon with a green circle with a white check mark that appears when you expand the arrow to the left of your server account name at the top of the left column of a calendar window - above "Folders on My Computer"), select "Folder Properties" then "Empty" cache. After you do this, your calendar data will disappear and repopulate from the exchange server. This took a while for me. Once the data reappeared, it became apparent that there were some duplicated recurring events that were cluttering up the calendar even though not previously displayed. I fixed these, then turned "sync services" back on in Entourage preferences. The "Entourage" calendar in iCal repopulated after a few minutes and I was back in business. To clean things up, I also had to delete a couple of extra "Entourage" calendars in the iCal list that had no events. Don't know if this will work for your problem but it fixed mine. Good Luck.

  • IPad and iTunes syncing issues

    I gave my old computer to my Dad, I need to add my ipad to my new computer. I downloaded the itunes on my new computer, but when I try to sync, it tells me that the ipad is synced with another iTunes library and ipad can be synced with only 1 iTunes library. Is there anyway to unsync with the old computer and sync with the new computer without loosing all the apps and data that I have on my ipad?

    The ipad will sync itunes content and pics from one and only one computer at a time.  When you sync to another it will indeed erase the current content from the ipad and replace with content from the new computer.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to the new one.

  • HT1386 trying to sync iphone 4 and itunes keeps coming up with "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"?

    trying to sync iphone 4 and itunes keeps coming up with "itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"?

    Same issue. Is this a new bug with iTunes 10.5.1??
    Anyone know of a solution?
    I reported it to Apple on the feedback page, but, I'm pretty convinced that Apple doesn't listen to or read their feedback. http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues  (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

    Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
    *iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
    (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
    With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
    When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
    (from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
    I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
    Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
    Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
    When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
    Any insight would be helpful.

    Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

  • How to sync iPhone 4 and iTunes 11?

    Yesterday I've made lots of app updates (of my iPhone apps), and I've also downloaded an app, everything via iTunes 11. Now, I want to sync them to my iPhone 4. That's it.
    However, iTunes doesn't seem to detect my iPhone. I've read on posts and threads that I should click the 'iPhone' button on the top-right corner, but I don't see it. I tried closing and re opening iTunes as well as turning off and on my iPhone and nothing. In the iPhone it says it's charging so I guess the cable is correctly attached.
    I've been struggling for hours, and I can't find a way to access my iPhone from iTunes. I tried logging in and out with my two accounts. There's that item File -> Devices on the main menu, but all the options there, including 'Sync', are grayed-out. I pressed  cmd+opt+S to see the sidebar, but it doesn't show my iPhone there. If I click on Apps, on the sidebar, I see the list of all m apps, all up to date, but there's no 'Sync' button at the bottom, just a 'Get More Apps' button.
    I've been trying a lot of things unsuccessfully, often ending on the app store facing a bunch of crap and ads like they're begging me to buy stuff.
    Please, why does it have to be so complicated?
    Why does Apple has to make me feel like a ********, both because I can't complete such a simple task and because I'm constantly assailed with ads forcing me to buy things that I have no interest?
    That's overwhelmingly pathetic, it makes me want to wacth TV, seriously.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    After upgrading i06 on iphone 4 and Itunes 11 on pc
    Does anyone know how to solve why the apps sync starts installing apps on the IPhone, blue bar gets to mid point for each app (even 1 app) then hangs i.e. fully clears the blue bar as if it hasn't started. Occurs on cable connection and Wifi sync.
    This then stops you from installing any apps as the hung app shows installing but not doing anything.
    Installing new apps is fine however.
    cheers

  • Error when syncing music with iphone 3g and itunes

    Does anyone know how to fix the "unknown error -69" when trying to sync iphone 3g and itunes. I have plenty of memory but certain songs will error and then all others after that one errors. So annoying can any one help?

    A couple of things that might help out.
    Open computer management by clicking on start and right clicking on my computer, then choose manage.
    When the computer management window opens, expand services and applications on the left.
    Click on services and see if Apple Mobile Device is running on the right.
    If it is not running, or is not set to automatic, try starting it.
    Also if apple mobile devise is not installed or will not start, this article might help out uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926?viewlocale=en_US
    If the apple mobile device is installed and will just not start, try uninstalling your security software.
    Once uninstalled, restart your computer.
    Once the computer is restarted, open computer management to see if apple mobile device will start.
    Hope this helps.

    Same problem. Wish I knew.
    When I tried to Restore, I got an Error 13xx and it won't even do that.

  • Updated Iphone 4 and Itunes 11.. cannot update checked music and apps

    Computer uses Windows 7. 
    Iphone is a version 4 with IOS 6.0.1 loaded. 
    Itunes is the latest version of 11.
    I noticed my new Ipad mini has no issue with connecting to Itunes and it does read what apps I want removed and added.
    The Iphone 4 however is having issues.  I notice that Itunes locks up a lot which could possibly be an issue with the computer but unclear.
    I have certain songs checked..when going into the music section prior to connecting the phone.
    When the phone is connected I can see the settings for the phone and in the general part I have tried different configurations.. I tried sync checked audio and video only...I have redone it with checking manually control of music/video. 
    I noticed based on which of those two are checked it will either check or uncheck the actual sync box in the music tab for the phone.  If in the music tab of the phone that is checked....it gives me different things to click like "Band" or "Album" and still disregards any selection I make there and will not change the present music in the phone.
    My issue is overall it completely disregarding the audio selections and keeping whatever audio is on the phone where its at.  It will not add the new CDs I purchased to the phone even though they are checked in Itunes.  The apps are not updating either...In the phones app tab it says it will remove apps but does not and will not add other either.
    Version 10.7 seemed to be glitchy for me as well...it seemed I had to do 2 syncs to get it to accept my choices but would accept them.
    Am I missing a setting?
