IPhone hangs while syncing, iPhoto can't detect iPhone

Hello,
I am a first time poster (be gentle
My iPhone has worked perfectly since August. Last week i plug in to sync. It appears in the sidebar of iTunes. I press sync. Starts with "backing up iPhone" dialogue then progress bar in iTunes stops. Same time iphone lets out a tone. Spinning wheel starts on screen of iPhone. Another tone. The freezes.
If I disconnect from USB cable, the screen goes blank, then Apple symbol comes up. After a few minutes I am back to normal operation.
Additional info:
This also occurs if I just plug into a USB cable connected to another Mac to charge battery (rather than sync).
Also, I have iPhoto set as default app for pics and movies on iPhone. iPhoto does not recognize the iPhone when I plug it in via USB.
I would be keen to:
a) know if anybody else is having this problem.
b) get any suggestions as to what might be going on inside my iPhone to make it behave like this.
c) get any suggestions as to what steps I should take to fix this.
Any help much appreciated in advance,

AMAZING !!!!!
Thank you Wjosten. Thank you, thank you.
I have been to a Genius Bar with this....their suggestion, full reformat, reset, start again.
Never had such a quick response that works, and something so simple. Truly amazing and you are a real life saver.
Can you give details on why exactly photos downloaded from Safari would create this effect?
Mine are all gone now and I will avoid that practice until I know more
Again, many thanks. Very much appreciated!

    What version of iTunes?

  • Itune can't detect iphone 6 plus on wifi sync

    iTunes 12.0.1.26
    Macbook Pro Retina, 13 inch, late 2013, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    iPhone 6 plus 64 GB, iOS 8.1.1
    iPad 2 64 GB, iOS 8.1.1
    Both Wifi and Bluetooth turned on.
    When iTunes launched, iPad2 is detected within 10 sec, whereas iPhone 6+ is not detected.
    I can still detect iPhone for personal hotspot and handoff.
    Of note, the continuity feature on Macbook Pro is not consistent - message does show up but not phone calls.
    I tried restarting both devices, deactivating and activating the handoff features etc.
    It never worked for me. When I bought iPhone it was already running iOS 8.1. Upgraded to 8.1.1 only few days ago.
    Kind regards.

  • ITunes is not consistent while syncing songs and tones with iPhone 6

    Hi
    I had iPhone 4 but 2 years ago, I had severe problems while syncing songs to my iPhone. The iTunes would miss some songs while syncing. In next sync, some songs were added but some other ones went missing. I was very frustrated with the dependency of iPhone on iTunes. Since last 2 years I was on windows/android and decided to go back to iPhone (6) hoping that things would have been better in these last 2 years... however, had a lot of disappointment.
    1. Note that I have a new laptop (Windows 8) with fresh install of iTunes. There was always problems while installing iTunes as I had to install in "adminstrator mode".  After installing, whenever I run itunes as "administrator" it lets me tweak the preferences of itunes easily, but does not allow me to add any mp3 songs to a playlist. I have to then shut down the itunes and run it normally: it allows me to add mp3s to playlist.....
    2. I have a work laptop which I use to sync work related device (iPhone 6 mentioned is never synced with this work PC) and have a different iTunes login. With this work PC, I never had problems with iTunes install or syncing to iDevice
    3. While syncing my home PC to iPhone 6, I can always see iTunes tries to transfer some songs which I know were already there on iPhone a few minutes ago. It is also "moody": it will sometimes say that "xyz" ringtone cannot be synced as it was not found!
    4. The iTunes frequently hangs while trying to sync (on step 1 of  5 of sync)
    5. I got so frustrated I had to delete all songs, from iPhone (took a while!), completely uninstall iTunes, remove iTunes library from "C:\users\"username\Music" folder, reinstalled iTunes, painstakingly created the whole library, synced. This time it was a success
    6. Apparently, 2 years ago with my iPhone 4, the same problems used to occur (I had another itunes account and different PC then).
    My past is haunting me again! Please help. I am so afraid to do another iTunes-iPhone 6 sync as I fear selective loss of songs...... Please help! I have already spent 5 hours (out of 48 hours that I had been associated with iPhone 6 since its release on 19 Sep), on problem solving, reading articles and am so frustrated with iTunes sync issue that I am ready to sell this phone although very nicely made by Apple. On Android, I simply add songs to SD card and use a player called Folder Player that makes a playlist of folders with music in it. There are so many "behavioral" problems that I have come across on different forums and wonder why Apple cannot fix them?

    Hi Pamela85
    Can't say much about Mac, however I discovered an issue in Windows PC that my profile did not have full access to C: drive (admin rights). Consequently, iTunes had difficulty with getting into the right mode where it could make changes. I have created a partition (D Drive), have installed iTunes there. Doing some experiements; will revert back in due course of time after doing some rounds of sync....

  • My ipad2 hanged while lock, i can't reset or turn it off. What will i do!

    My ipad2 hanged while lock, i can't reset or turn it off. What will i do?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    the problem is, my Windows can't detect the iPhone.
    there's always a pop-up ballon that says "USB Device Not Recognized"
    and my iPhone shows a picture that i have to connect USB to iTunes.
    i tried to restart the iPhone too, but i still can't use my iPhone.
    I'm very depressed right now.
    Were are you able to *Verify iPhone Driver/Service Installation*, as mentioned in the article I linked above?
    Try restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567.
    Also, what security software is running on the PC? If you haven't already, try to update, reconfigure, or uninstall it while testing. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125 provides additional tips that will help rule out security software issues.

  • HT2486 can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro?  I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.

    can I have two contact lists on one mac book pro?  I need one to sync with my iphone, one to sync with my husband's iphone.

    I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
    When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
    Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
    Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct?

  • My iphone is not syncing what can I do?

    my iphone is not syncing what can i do?

    Hard to say with so little information.
    What does "will not synch to itunes when i connect it to my computer" mean?
    Does itunes recognize your iphone?
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If it does see it, then what is the problem?
    What have you tried?

  • How can i know iphone users from contacts, how can i know iphone users from contacts

    how can i know iphone users from contacts, how can i know iphone users from contacts

    You could open that contact in messages, and your iPhone should say "iMessage" instead of "Message" in the text field. However, this depends wether the contact has iMessage enabled, but it could also mean the contact is using an iPad or iPod touch.
    Make sure that their mobile number is in iMessage, and if the text field says "iMessage", then they are using an iPhone (if they've enabled it).

  • Iphoto doesn't detect iphone

    Hi guys, this is my problem.
    I have snow leopard, Iphoto 8.1 and i just did the upgrade to 3.1 os on my iphone 3g.
    Since yesterday i realize that when i plug my iphone iphoto is not opening as before and is not detecting the iphone either..
    if i open itunes the iphone shows fine and i can sync.. i need iphoto to see my iphone.
    I want to save my new family pictures on iphoto before i do anything... i can't loose this pics.
    what could be the problem here.???? help.

    I have the fix.
    I can report after much testing that the issue is absolutely related to photos that were saved from e-mail to the camera roll. Why, I have no idea, but that's it. Couldn't get my iPhone 3GS to launch iPhoto or be recognized in iPhoto or Image Capture until I deleted photos that I saved from email. Then it was fine. Strange bug that didn't start until 3.1, but that's clearly it.
    So, here's all you do.
    1. Go to the camera roll and delete any photo you didn't shoot with the camera. Anything you saved from e-mail, screenshots, etc. If you need them, email them to yourself or something.
    2. Unplug the iPhone from USB after those photos are erased.
    3. Replug in the iPhone. It should launch iPhoto normally and be seen in Image Capture.
    Please let me know if that does the trick or if it doesn't, but I'm 99.9 percent sure it will.

  • Recent hang while syncing notes?

    I'm using iTunes 11.4.0.18 on Windows 7 and Office 2013.  I've been successfully syncing both contacts and notes between my iPhone 5 with Outlook for quite a long time, including after updating to both the latest iTunes and my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.0.
    Recently (within the last two weeks - unfortunately I don't remember the exact day) the "syncing notes" step is hanging indefinitely.  I've let it run for over 30 minutes, whereas normally it finishes in less than 5 seconds, and it doesn't finish.  I have to cancel the sync.  So it never gets to the part where it syncs apps.
    I did a full backup / clear / restore, and the problem persists.
    Is anyone seeing a similar recent change in behavior like this, or have any ideas of anything else to try?

    As I got this issue resolved, let me post an update that might be helpful.
    I recently upgraded to the iPhone 6 Plus.  I had similar sync issues while trying to restore from my iPhone 5 backup.  I contacted Apple support.  Since I have a new phone, they were actually quite helpful.
    I believe the key is to follow the steps here:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    The difference between this and what I already tried is that I didn't use the "Restore iPhone..." button in iTunes last time I restored.  I just plugged in the freshly-wiped iPhone 5 and told it to restore from it's backup when prompted.  When you use that button, it re-downloads the whole 1-2 GB iOS software update for your device and applies it "more cleanly".  After doing that, I was able to restore it from my backup and sync began working.  Of course, this was with the iPhone 6 Plus at this point, but I'm optimistic for others' benefit that this procedure would work for an existing phone as well.
