IPhone sync on Windows XP - SyncServer keeps running after disconnect

When connecting iPhone to sync, after disconnect process SyncServer.exe continues to run using more and more memory. Eventually, system is at 100%. Only way to stop it is to run AVG virus scan. Anyone else encountered this problem? Don't want to try to sync phone until solved.
thanks for all help

I am experiencing the same situation with Windows XP, but on a partitioned MacBook Pro with Windows XP on the bootlegged partition. I have narrowed it down to a function of iTunes and syncing, but when I put MobileMe into the mix it overwhelms my computer and gives me the error "SyncServer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and uses almost 90% of the processor as well.
I have uninstalled and installed iTunes and Mobile Me many times. My temporary fix, which is allowing me to "work" on the PC side is leaving the Mobile Me uninstalled.
Anyone else have a solution?

  • New iPhone 6. Windows 8 desktop. Running Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.

    New iPhone 6. This s my first iPhone. Windows 8 laptop. Running Mozilla Firefox browser as my default. Would like to sync my Firefox Bookmarks with Safari on iPhone 6.
    It would be nice if Firefox was available on the iPhone, but apparently it is not.
    If I could do a direct sync of Bookmarks between Firefox on a W8 machine and the iPhone, that would be nice.
    Assuming I can't, I have installed Safari of my W8 laptop,
    I exported my Bookmarks from Firefox, and then imported them in Safari.
    First question:
    Safari shows my Bookmarks in a way that is different from Firefox. It shows all the folders fown the left side of the window. If I want to see a saved bookmark within one of the folders, I have to click on the folder name and then the contents are shown in a separate panel off to the right. Can I get all Bookmark folders to open up vertically, that is, down the left side and under the folder name as they do in Firefox?
    Second question:
    How do I sync the bookmarks so that all hoes-based bookmarks are downloaded to my iPhone. An articel I read speaks of connecting my iPhone to the laptop. I have no idea of how to do that.
    Thank you for any help. Not sure what Community to post this in. Sorry. Newbie new to A

    I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
    I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
    Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
    I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
    Thank you

  • Computer Keeps Running after Windows Shuts Down

    I recently installed XP SP2 for the first time.  Now, when I shut down Windows, the OS shuts down fine and the screen goes blank, but the computer itself keeps running for about 15 seconds.  This has never happened before.  Any ideas?

    Try a more powerful power supply.  It normal rated load on the 12v rail is only 4.5 amps with a max of 16.

  • Adobe processes keep running after closing program!

    Hello,
    I have this issue with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Media Encoder and Audition but not with Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc.
    Everytime I close one of those programs the respective process keeps running in the background.
    I can't restart the program until I go to the task manager and kill the process (AfterFX.exe, Adobe Premiere Pro.exe, pproheadless.exe)
    I already tried a clean uninstall with the cleaner tool and reinstall but the problem remains.
    I encountered this problem few months ago after a longer break from Adobe.
    Never had any problems before.
    I cloned my complete system with Acronis on a new SSD few months ago..
    can't remember anything else with much impact which could have triggered this.
    System: Win7 x64
    Software: Adobe CC

    I found the Solution (for me at least)
    It seems to be a driver problem with graphic cards from nvidia's 600 series.
    I have installed the oldest available driver for my GTX 680 and everything works fine now (some newer drivers might also work)
    I'm gonna write a e-mail to the Nvidia support and tell them what happened, pls do the same if you found the solution due to this post and
    upcoming drivers gonna work well for us again.
    best regards

  • IPhone sync problem Windows 7 64 bit

    I have a PC running Windows 7 64 bit. I get error messages nearly every time I try to sync my iPhone 4. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes 64 bit, latest version, but this does not solve the problem. iTunes is timing out my phone and will not sync. Any solutions? Am getting weary of going through an hour of this every day!
    When my iPhone appears at all, I get a dialog box saying that another device has been synced to this computer. I am asked to restore from backup or install as a new device. Neither one works.
    When/if iTunes does recognize myi iPhone, I get the error message "the iPhone [my phone name] cannot be synced. An error occurred while writing to the device.
    My email and apps that come with the phone work OK, but any optional apps I installed will not open on the iPhone.
    Please help.

    For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart.  Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem.  Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
    Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant.  I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

  • IPhone Syncing Problems (Windows Vista)

    I've ran into a problem, where I can't sync any of my photos, i've seen problems but not like this, almost all the time when i sync my photos it gives me a blue screen error (windows vista) sometimes it will sync some of them but they arent viewable or even able to find on the phone, another problem im having is i have 3 computers and i cant sync my 3 librarys on my iphone i want all 3 to be the same any ideas... thanks,
    greg

    greg,
    This article may help with your blue screens when you are trying to sync photos:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306048
    Also, you can only sync to one computer at a time. Therefore, you will not be able to use the iPhone with 3 different libraries without erasing what's on the iPhone when you sync it with a new computer. You can find more information about syncing in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2626win.html
    If you want all 3 libraries to have the same content, you would need to copy the content on each computer to all the others. For more information on how to transfer your iTunes content to each computer, check out this article:

    Good luck!

  • IPhone sync with Windows Vista

    Hi,
    My Outlook was syncing fine with my iphone until I was asked to change my password. When I did this, my mail wouldn't come in anymore. So I erased my account and tried to set it up again. Now I can't even connect to the server! It says my password is invalid even though it works fine with my work computer and webmail.
    I heard that it will not sync because of a software issue between the iphone and Windows Vista server or something. Where can I get help for this??? I have no mails, contacts, or calendars. My IT department doesn't support iphone so they won't touch it, and the phone company has no idea also.

    If all this changed after you had to change the password to access your server, then perhaps you are mistyping the password.

  • ITunes 64 bit  crashes during iphone sync  on windows 7

    This was working fine a couple days ago - my guess is that one of the zillion MS patches killed it.  Now what?  I have uninstalled, re-installed, done all the Compatability checks, etc.  Tried installing the 32 bit version but the installer won't let me do that -- still crashes right at the start of music sync.  I'm afraid to turn off music sync for fear that all the music will be erased from the phone (assuming no crash).  Now what?

    Well I guess this one is too hard for this group so I had to figure it out myself:  Here's the deal - there is a conflict between iTunes's crappy software and some other crappy software or service that was running on my XP system and is still running now that I have moved to W7.  See this article for the fix: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292  I simply turned everything off except iTunes stuff, re-booted and sync worked fine.  Put everything back where it was, re-booted and sync still works fine (mostly because the tunes it was failing on were already sync'd so . . .).
    There you have it.

  • Windows 8.1 Recovery run after power cut & failure to start. PC back up and running but LR "Unexpected Error opening catalogue" is as far as I get.

    Hi, I had a search about for a solution but failed. Apologies in advance if it has been addressed already. I should add, I am semi proficient with the PC but apart from image tweaks have never really got my head around LR's cataloguing mechanics (cause of the issue anyone)
    Any way, I back up every time LR asks and have a folder full of them, so I thought it would be as simple as just clicking on a backup from before the Windows recovery was run and we would be up and running again.
    So I go to my LR folder/ backups/  select a backup and then get this dialogue box for a short while.
    Followed by
    Now I am out of my depth. Click cancel. Presented with.

    Thanks,

    If you're selecting a LR catalog backup in a folder that doesn't show .lrcat.lock and .lrcat-journal files you have a different issue.
    Try removing your LR Preferences file, which may have been corrupted by the the power failure:

    If the issue persists try uninstalling LR5.5, delete the Preferences file as described above, and then reinstall LR5.6:

  • Premiere and After Effects keep running after you close them

    Hi,
    After I upgraded to Premiere and After Effects CC2014 I noticed that the programs kept running in the background when I closed them. Sometimes the program's wouldn't start or shutdown seconds after starting. In After Effects I noticed that multi-processor rendering was slow. CPU utilisation would alternate between 60% and 99%. I didn't have this problems with the previous CC.
    After alot of research and contacting Adobe support I found out that a simple program I had been using for ages called "ObjectDock" was causing all these problems. Without ObjectDock, everything runs smooth. I thought I'd share this with others who might face similar issues.
