IPhone sync freeze problem

I've searched all the posts and tried everything (I think) but still have a problem. Syncing iPhone causes iTunes to freeze with force-quit the only option. Here's what I've tried:
- repaired permissions
- repaired drive (Disk Util)
- repaired drive (Disk Warrior)
- re-installed iTunes
- reset sync history
I've even unchecked each sync item to attempt a one-at-a-time sync. It never gets passed "backing up iPhone", though. What next? Is it the iPhone or the computer causing the problem? I'm at a loss and notice that others have posted similar problems. Could it be the latest iTunes update?

FYI - Solution to the problem seems to have been upgrading to Snow Leopard. Syncing now runs without a hitch.

Iphone sync menu - problem syncing from Outlook

When i select "info" tab on my iphone sync menu, and it gives me "sync Contacts" with "Outlook" option and then two additional options are given:
* All contacts
* Selected Groups
However, it will not allow me to pick "Selected Groups" option - instead automatically defaults to "All contacts". How do I de-select "All contact" so that I can pick "Selected Groups" and choose which folders under Outlook I wish to sync? thanks

It has to do with the way Outlook interprets groups versus the way iOS interprets groups, they are different. I don't have all the information here in front of me right now, but will look after I get home. But I believe if you search here, or look over to the right under "More Like This" you may find infomation about it. See if that helps, and again, I will check later and repost.

Iphone sync freezes

My iphone won't sync anymore. It freezes at step 2. HELP? I've updated all iphone software and itunes but still having this problem and would love some help with it.

Does anyone know if this works? Have a similar problem- we have two iTunes accounts on one PC with an iPhone 3GS syncing normally on one account and 2G Touch on other:
* syncing very slowly
* freezing iTunes
* not syncing for up to 20 minutes
* not seeing device
* taking music off device
Everything up to date, and have had the problems over a number of updates. Further, the Touch was previously associated to other account on same PC and worked fine, while problem account did the same thing with previous device: a 1G Touch - thinking its not any specific device causing the issue.
Anyone good at these things with any ideas (please!)?

Thank you iTunes for fixing the problem of downloading my pictures to my iPad and iPhone with the update 10.5.0.142

IPhone, Sync, Photos problem.

Basically my problem is when I try to sync photos onto my iPhone it says there is no memory left, but however I have over 200 mb of space free, and the file Im trying to sync is 1.5 mb, I even copied the actually picture of the website to see if it was the pictures fault, So it seems iTunes thinks my iPhone is full but it isn't. Any ideas? I've tried most solutions already.

200Mb isn't very much - the phone needs quite a bit of space for its operation. It should transfer 1.5Mb but start by clearing about a load of the unused Apps and video first and then see if it sync's back.

"Not Listend To Recently" iTunes to iPhone Sync Question/Problem

iPhone 3G w/3.0, iTunes 8.2, Windows Vista
I searched the FAQ and the posts, I see others ask similar question, but not a clear answer yet.
I have a number of Podcasts that I listen to daily, on my iPhone, NEVER on my computer. I regularly get the little ! saying this podcast will not update because you have not listend to it recently. HOW do I get my computer to recognize/sync the fact that I HAVE listened to the podcast recently?
According to the docs, the computer and phone will keep track of where you are in the podcast. The blue dots are always on my iTunes Podcasts.
Thanks in Advance.

There is an increasingly common problem where listens on the iPod (and it may well apply to the iPhone as well) are not being updated back to iTunes upon syncing.
Is that the problem you are experiencing? If so, FYI there has been no solution yet. The only remedy, which I found by accident, is to reboot the iTunes machine before syncing the iPod. A pain I know, but give it a try.

Have any of you used KB 187498 to disable any of those protocols in IIS? I found a thread where the solution appeared to be reverse those changes to re-enable any of the protocols that you disabled. Check the registry for the keys KB 187498 says to create, and if they exist, delete them. Then reboot and see if the problem is fixed. I haven't tried it myself, but I also have ~10 iPhones using ActiveSync without any problems.

It have taken me all day but it's solved!
During last sync on old MacBook Pro the new version of the iBook app was only synced partly.
That's why, when i was trying to sync on my new MacBook Pro, iTunes was freezing during sync.
Once i have synced my iPhone on the old MacBook Pro again, and iBook app was synced complete, this problem was fixed.

The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

Syncing to iPhone 3GS - Freezes when Photos are synced, after 1st sync

Using iTunes 9.1.1.12 and iPhone 3GS 3.1.3.
When syncing, the sync freezes when Photos are included to be synced. It just hangs at the end of the sync process, and never completes.
If I don't include the Photos to be synced, it syncs fine.
If I then choose to re-sync the Photos and delete the folder: "iPod Photo Cache"... It re-syncs fine again (and places all photos on iPhone). But if I immediately sync again, without un-checking Photos to be synced, it hangs again at the end.
Please help.

They are scaled down.

IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Chuck

You're welcome.
You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

So my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

so my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

I got the same problem. The percentage of getting this problem is around 10% of all my dial/receive calls.
The problem usually appears when I receive calls. The phone app will freeze, and I cannot dial or receive calls even I closed the phone app, however, most other apps work properly.
Once this problem happens, I will not be able to turn off the phone by holding sleep button, the only way I can get rid of it is holding sleep and home button at the same time to reset the iphone.
