IPhone syncing crash

Starting just recently, any time I plug my iPhone into charge (it charges by being plugged into my late 2008 Macbook Pro over night), the phone makes the sync noise, then does it again, and then repeats over and over again until the iPhone finally crashes and has to restart. After doing that, it tends to stay on, but disconnects and reconnects every few minutes. This is becoming really annoying, especially since it won't stay connected long enough to even sync music or Apps most of the time.
I know it's not my USB ports on my MacBook Pro, so I'm assuming it's either the cord or the iPhone itself. Has anyone else ever had this issue? And if so, what resolved it?

It may be a faulty USB cable.
Do you have another iPhone USB dock connector cable to try?
If the cable is faulty, it will be covered under the warranty. You can call AppleCare at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
If you want to test this yourself by purchasing another iPhone USB cable, a new cable costs $19, which can be purchased at an AT&T corporate store, or at a Best Buy store if an Apple store is not nearby. If it turns out that your USB cable is faulty and you purchase another one yourself, you probably won't be reimbursed by Apple. In order to have Apple replace it under warranty, you need to call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
If a new cable doesn't resolve it, and you know for certain there is nothing wrong with the USB ports on your Mac, then the problem probably lies with your iPhone.

Iphone sync crashes optimizing iphoto

So my iphone sync works fine unless I'm trying to sync it with photos from iphoto. During the optimizing stage, it always crashes. I thought it might be ilife 06 so I upgraded to ilife 08. Nothing changed. It will sync to aperture, but I don't use aperture for all my photos. any ideas?

Having the same issue. My only guess at this point is that it has to do with a 3rd party app. When I (de)synced applications and selected only the last 5 events from iphoto it worked. I am sure there is a good answer out there. Anybody...

IPhone sync Crashes iTunes

When i try to sync my iPhone with iTunes, iTunes crashes. I have reset my MAC, reinstalled iTunes, rebuilt iTunes Library, repaired permissions, deleted all applications on iPhone and iTunes. The sync still crashes. I have tried to sync my wife's iphone and have no problems, just the 3G. I have tried to sync on another MAC. iTunes crashes there also.
In all cases I can sync with iPhoto, but it iPhone never appears in iTune's sidebar and it crashes. I have checked the forums and no luck ot their suggestions. Any ideas?

This problem is so incredibly annoying to me. I download tons of podcasts directly from the iphone and then I can't sync it. I don't download them directly to the computer because I don't have much space and I just don't want them on there. Plus the added step would be annoying.
I tried the <10 podcast solution but that didn't work for me. The worse was right before a trip the synch deleted 100 podcasts I had downloaded, and also whenever i'd play music it would randomly stop in the middle of a song. I ended up having to restore the whole phone when I got back.
The one thing I've always had problems on the iPhone with is syncing. Even with everything set to manual I've always had some problem or another.
Please fix this problem, it's been around for a long time now.

IPhone sync crashes computer

Since iTunes 8, now when I try to plug in my iPhone for a sync, I see a small pop-up reading "Installing Driver device software" and then I briefly see a blue screen before my system shuts down. The blue screen reads something like "Windows unexpectedly needs to shut down. Then when it reboots, it asks if I want to start on safe mode to recover from a problem. I select no, and I get a notification telling me Windows had to shut down unexpectedly and asking me whether or not I would like to search information on how to solve this problem. No information is found.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Syncing my iPhone immediately crashes iTunes in Leopard

I installed Leopard last weekend, and before that I never had any problems syncing my iPhone. But now that I've installed it, whenever I connect my iPhone to its dock, iTunes gives me the spinning beach ball until I force quit out of it. It doesn't show up on the sources list or anything.
The weird thing is, when I first ran into this problem I tried syncing my iPhone many, many times, and some times it would start syncing successfully, but it would hang as it was transferring files, never finishing entirely. But for the vast majority of my attempts at syncing it crashes immediately.
Things I've tried so far:
1) Repaired permissions / repaired disk using Disk Utility. No result.
2) Deleted the iTunes cache files (~/Libary/Caches/iTunes and /User/Caches/iTunes). This fixed a similar syncing issue in another discussion. After restarting, my iPhone synced successfully! But then the next time I tried syncying, after another restart, iTunes went back to its old behavior and crashed. The cache folders are still gone so I don't know why that only worked once.
Really hoping that someone can help me out here as I'm dying to listen to some new music in the car Thanks in advance.

I didn't think I would have an effect, so I didn't try it initially, but reinstalling iTunes has solved the issue! Case closed.

My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!

If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.
Best,
Craig

ITunes on PC does not crash when syncing IPhones but crashes halfway through IPad sync

Itunes and Ipad on latest software iterations.
When syncing IPhones all perform faultlessly. When I try to sync. my IPad ITunes crashes halfway through the process.
For the last two weeks I have not been able to remove downloaded TV programmes via ITunes and have had to perform the removal via
<Settings>General>Usage>Manage storage. One audiobook is not visible on ITunes and cannot be deleted by any method I have tried.
I am storing all media on a WDCloud drive as I have over 1.3 TBytes of films, TV Programmes and audiobooks.
I have tried repairing both ITunes and Quicktime to no avail.
IOS8.1.2
Itunes

Hi Brendan
Thanks for the reply.
I noticed that the sync crashed at the point where it was downloading either Apps or Video (TV Progs). I tried a 'delete all media' reset yesterday. Problem still present and then I had no media or Apps other than some of the Apps as supplied on initial startup.
Today I tried a different USB to Lightning lead and at one point I thought it was working with Wi-Fi sync but whilst it didn't crash, the Icons of the Apps that were present on the IPad before the problem occurred are in the same place as before but greyed out and the Apps obviously have not been loaded.
Funnily enough I did a factory re-set just before you sent this so will post again if this works to help others. I believe this is going to be an IOS 8 problem like so many other IOS 8 problems I have found.
Best wishes
Adrian

HT1386 I downloaded Itunes 11 and now my Iphone 5 crashes everytime I try to sync it?

I downloaded Itunes 11 and now my Iphone 5 crashes everytime I try to sync it; I am using Windows 7. It has also wiped all my current music off my phone. I have searched google for this problem and I'm just reaching dead ends or solutions for Mac's. Is anyone having the same problems? I have turned the phone on and off, restarted my laptop, used different usb ports but nothing is working. Please help!

When I've uninstall iTunes and reinstall, I find all the same settings in iTunes like one my playlist! But I'm not sure at 100% of that, sorry! But I'm completely sure that your music must will reamain in iTunes and you don't have to reaload that in your library. Maybe wait another answer for safety

TS3418 SyncServer crashes on Windows XP, when iTunes starts iPhone sync

SyncServer crashes on Windows XP, when iTunes starts iPhone sync...Help!

Many thanks, Paul.
Modname is corefoundation.dll and Modver is 1.630.16.0 offset 0004183c
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch properly now?
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

Transfer iTunes from one PC to another for iPhone Sync

Hi, my PC (WinXP iTunes 9.02) crashed an I have a new one. I´ve access to the old harddisk and I want to transfer the complete iTunes libraries an d Sync-Infos to the new PC (Win7 iTunes 9.2) in order to have my iPhone synced again without loosing any data from the iPhone. What is the preffered way to transfer to data from one PC to another without getting the iPhone cleared ? Is there an official manual available for transferring iTunes ? It is very important for me not to loose data on the iPhone. Thanks very much for your help.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update.. how do I get my phone to work right

My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update 7.1.. how do I get my phone to work right

First, create a separate login on your computer for your friend. Do this BEFORE you do anything else. Next, make sure iTunes is up to date. Then:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in iTunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

IPhone sync with Outlook fails with sync server not starting

Hi, Community -
Up until a few days ago my iPhone synced beautifully with Outlook 2010 under Windows 7 on Parallels (running on Yosemite, MBP late 2014).
I don't know what changed but I cannot sync the two anymore. I keep getting error messages. Either a Windows error message saying that Mingler.exe stopped working or an iTunes message saying that the iPhone could not sync because the sync server did not start.
I have tried the following:
Reset the sync history
Uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (several times)
Tried to restore to older backup versions (I keep backups of the iPhone backup files)
Synced with other iTunes installations
Restored the iPhone to a state about two weeks old (when syncing still worked)
All to no avail.
The Mingler.exe crash report under Windows gave these details:
Problem signature:

(Yes, I know ... I should not expect support on Windows issues here ... but by now I am pretty sure it is an iTunes issue.)
Could anyone please help? I really need my calendar and contacts updated on my phone!
Thanks for any help you can offer.

OK ... I am not going to go into the depths of how a company that makes such nice hardware cannot get its act together to write decent software, too. I'll also spare you my anger on why I need to sync my iPhone on a Mac throgh Windows in order to connect to the most widely used office suite worldwide. I guess I am just disappointed at the inferiority of Apple's software and simply cannot bear the ravings of clueless artsy users who believe they know something about computing because they are proficient Photoshop users. Phew. Sorry, venting ends here and now.
In the meantime I managed to solve the above problem myself. I hope my description is helpful to other users encountering similar issues (and Google tells me there are many).
My solution is based on the rationale that after all steps described in the initial post the problem must lie with iTunes. And it did.
Here is what I did to fix the issue on my Mac running Windows 7 on Parallels:
Uninstall iTunes and, importantly, also all other Apple software (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support etc.) from Windows using the Control Pannel utility 'Programs and Features'. The interesting thing is that uninstalling all Apple software will not remove all directories involved in mobile sync! I conjecture this is the source of the observed sync issues.
Remove all software registry entries with Apple Inc. and Apple Computer Inc. as author
I deleted entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE.
Manually remove the directory C:\Users\__UserName__\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\SyncServices\Local
This will result in the loss of all iPhone backup information you have collected in the past. The manual removal of this directory is crucial because it does not get removed automatically in the uninstall process.
Restart Mac OS and Windows (just to be safe)
Reinstall the latest version of iTunes
Reboot your iPhone (just to be safe)
Connect the iPhone and sync it by overwriting calendar and contacts on the iPhone from the Mac (choose the appropriate sync options in iTunes)
These steps worked perfectly for me and I am now able to sync my iPhone with my calendar and contacts from Outlook 2010 again.
Do let me know if this was any help with your sync issues.
