IPhoto immediately freezes when synced with iPhone.

When I open iPhoto and sync my iPhone 4 to my Mac, the program freezes immediately. I have updated both phone, computer, and iPhoto to all the current versions. This problem has occured every single time I've tried to sync the two for the past 3 months. It does not crash, it just freezes, and I have to force quit the program.

When you created a new Apple ID and logged the phones in you disconnected them from the account where your calendars etc are, use your original ID.

  • ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

    It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
    I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
    I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
    I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
    Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

    the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
    im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
    PLEASE HELP!!!

  • Itunes 11.1.4 freezes when syncing with iphone

    Itunes 11.1.4 Periodically freezes when not syncing.  always freezes when starting to sync Iphone or ipad.  sometimes gets far enough to see Message: "ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later"  Trying again later does not help.  This did not happen with previous version of Itunes (for years)

    Hello Zach,
    It sounds like you are getting this error message when connecting your phone after a recent update. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get a resolution:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with the first steps to test iTunes in Safe Mode, and if needed, there is additional troubleshooting therein.
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • IPod classic freezes when syncing with iTunes

    This is a complicated story involving my two brothers, a traded ipod, and sadness - here goes...
    Brother "A" had an iPod, which was traded to brother "B". Brother "A" was on windows, brother "B" was on a mac. The ipod would not sync with the mac, even after being reformatted and restored with latest software of both itunes and ipod. When syncing it gets to song 25 and stops. Every time, no matter the song.
    Here is what I have tried:
    • All software updated
    • Ipod was reformatted and restored
    • iTunes library was rebuilt - all unauthorized songs and duplicates removed (my brothers library was a mess)
    After all this it still freezes when it is copying song 25. The ipod was working fine (so brother "A" claims) when syncing with the windows machine. Any suggestions?

  • No events listed when syncing with iPhone

    When syncing with iTunes, events are no longer listed when choosing option s photos on the iPhone?? Why

    I confirmed that I have the radio button checked that says "Sync all Contacts", but not the one that specifically shows Yahoo! Address Book. So the question remains, why does iTunes consistently prompt me to sync Yahoo! Address Book? How can I stop that from happening?

  • ITunes 8 freezes while syncing with iPhone 3G

    I am disappointed with iTunes 8 as it freezes when it is syncing with iPhone3G (2.1). I noticed that the phenomenon regularly occurs when certain music files and/or podcast files are being transferred. As a result, I cannot copy all the music/podcast files to my iPhone. This started immediately after upgrading to iTunes 8.
    I wonder if this is related to Japanese OS (Windows XP, SP3) as I am aware that some other Japanese also have similar (probably identical) problems according to a discussion board on the internet.
    Any suggestions and comments are welcomed.

    I have an iPhone 3g 2.1 + OS x 10.5.5 and itunes 8.0.1.
    While syncing:
    The backup routine takes forever, but completes eventually.
    Then it tries to sync applications, notably Texas "HoldEm" game. At this point iTunes is unresponsive.
    To get everything going again, I have to quit iTunes, and restart the iPhone. Then I can try again, but it fails again at the same point.

  • Spaces allowed in iPhoto filenames? when syncing to iPhone/iPad?

    It took me a while to narrow this one down,
    in short, if the underlying filename of the photo you attempt to sync from iPhoto using iTunes to your iPhone/iPod contains a space character,
    then the sync will fail with the, rather unhelpful "unknown error -50" condition, iPhoto itself has no problem with filenames containing spaces
    This iTunes sync error has been happening since I first encountered it long ago,
    I've worked around it by painstakingly renaming all the offending files but when I recently got a new bunch, it took me a while to confirm that this bug still bites.
    Yeah, I know it's surprising that such a simple (to fix) bug still persists. I thought I'd share in case anyone else can benefit from some, ahem, documentation. It might help me to remember for the next time.
    Cheers,
    p.s. Okay, there is the required question(s) Has anyone else encountered this (filenames containing spaces not handled well by Unixy derived systems)?

    <snark on>
    Ah yes, This is just like wetting my pants while wearing a dark suit. It gives me a warm feeling but nobody notices. Actually, I just checked and this bug has been known to Apple for several years. At least I got that warm feeling though.

  • Re: iTunes 11.1.2 keeps crashing when sync with iPhone 5

    I'd updated iOS7 (the latest), Maverick and iTunes 11.1.2. While everything is working fine independently, when I try to sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes, it just hangs at "Finishing Syncing..." forever. A few minutes later, iTunes just quit unexpectedly (crashed!!!).
    I repeated syncing a few more times but same thing happens. I have no luck so far but wonder if anyone has similar experience with iPhone 5 or any other model and if a solution is found.
    I will not sync any more until Apple has an update for any of their software to fix this. iPhone is backed up in iCloud so I am safe but I would like to change music from time to time but it seems a little unstable so far

    I have discovered the specific cause of my issue (cannot sync photos).
    We have two networked computers.  All the latest versions are on both computers. (Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.2, iPhoto 9.5, IOS 7.0.3)
    The iPhoto library is on a separate hard drive attached to Computer1 via firewire.  Syncing to IOS devices works fine from Computer1. 
    Computer 2 on the network (ethernet) uses the same photo library for iPhoto (iPhoto on Computer2 accesses the iPhoto library on hard drive attached to Computer1).  iPhoto works fine on Computer2, no issues.  However, when trying to sync photos to an IOS device via  iTunes from Computer 2, the photo part of the sync hangs up on "Importing Photos", runs forever, and always causes an iTunes crash after awhile. 
    I copied the iPhoto library directly to the hard drive on Computer2, and redirected iPhoto on Computer2 to use that copied library now on Computer2.  iTunes could then complete syncing from Computer2, including photos, with no problem.
    So iTunes has a bug syncing photos to an IOS device when the photo library used by iPhoto on that computer resides on a different networked computer (accessed over a home network).  Note this all worked fine prior to upgrading Mavericks, iTunes, and iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto has no problem with this configuration.

  • Events disappearing from Outlook Calendar when synced with iPhone 4

    Hi,
    I have just switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S. I have the same iTunes and Apple ID on both the iPhones (the other one is used by my wife) but I created different iCloud ID for both the iPhones. When I synced the new iPhone 4S with my laptop, I found that my calender events on my laptop dissappeared.
    This never happened with iPhone 4. Can you please help to find out the reason?
    Thanks

  • Missing some address book data when syncing with iphone

    Hi,
    I sync my iphone 3G with software version 3.0 on my Imac with Leopard 10.5.7 I have used it for over a year without any problem.
    Recently, the sync of address book has been omitting some phone numbers. Say a contact has an office phone, a handphone and a fax, I will only find the fax on my iphone. The number "sellected" for syncing with the iphone is not always the same... sometimes the fax, sometimes the office, etc. Most contacts are only allowed 1 phone number on the iphone, but some have none and some have them all. Last, the land address, the email and other fields are never affected.
    Of course, before posting, I already restored my Iphone, but the problem remained.
    This problem is in fact very serious since I must carry at all time a printed copy of my 600 contacts...
    Thank you in advance for help

    I have seen a similar problem on my setup (Outlook and Windows XP). In my case, I found out the iPhone doesn't like certain types of phone field names. When you create a new contact on the iPhone, you can choose mobile, iPhone, home, work, main, home fax, work fax, pager, and other. If, for example, your source data has a contact with a "main" phone number, that number doesn't sync properly.
    If you go to Google Maps and find a new address and add it to your contacts, it uses the "Phone" name for the phone field. Oddly, that field is not one on the iPhone list. The phone shows up, but when you edit the contact and try to edit the phone, it automatically switches that field to "Mobile". I think that is an attempt by the iPhone to make sure you have a valid field name for your phone numbers.
    The way I see it, it is a bug. I have never had a similar issue with other devices and sync software. Try going into a contact on your computer you are having problems with, and change the field name of one of the missing phone numbers to "work" and resync. See if that makes it sync.

  • Itunes freezes when syncing with ipod

    My itunes is freezing when i try to sync with itunes. Manual management does not cause freezing, but automatic syncing causes it to freeze after five or fewer podcasts / songs are transferred. The ipod is brand new, and ready to use. I've tried all the normal steps, such as reinstalling software, ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the response. I have installed, reinstalled the latest itunes, ran the diagnostics, looked through troubleshooting guides and forums before posting on this forum. Aside from Itunes freezing up in automatic syncing, both itunes and ipod seems to run normally.
    Could this be a problem with the library or some type of miscellaneous file? Any suggestions?

  • Crashing when syncing with iPhone

    Hi,
    Recently Aperture keeps crashing when I connect and sync with my iPhone 4. As soon as Aperture has started up the beachball appears. Sometimes it hangs on 'updating FB' and some times it hangs on 'face detection'.
    Every time I have to force quit and to rebuild my library in order to use Aperture in a normal way (and not being connected to iPhone).
    Anyone any idea what I can do/ need to do???
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Thanks Jim for the answer.
    I can keep it running but then the next morning I still have the beachball.............:-(
    After rebuilding the library all goes well and there seem to be no problems. Problems start after closing down in a normal way and starting up the next time......
    And it has been running for a long time without problems. Didn't touch any settings/preferences.
    Maybe the OS update??

  • "Smart" Groups not being recognized when syncing with iPhone

    I have several "smart" groups in my address book but they don't show up as available to sync with my iPhone. What's up with that?

  • Same album repeatedly updates when syncing with iPhone

    I have many many albums and tracks purchased via the iTunes store both through iTunes directly and via the iPhone. They all synchronise properly and are on iTunes eventually.
    There's one album, though, purchased via the iTunes app in June this year. Virtually every time I sync the iPhone it says "updating files" and this album gets updated. The rest of the sync goes just fine, new tracks added, listened to podcasts are removed, playlists are updated (notwithstanding that smart playlists' orderings are now utterly broken) fine - but this album is always getting updated.
    In finder I've looked at the permissions and nothing seems unusual.
    Anyone with any ideas?
    It's not a fundamental problem, but it does means that each sync takes an extra 30-60 seconds, which is annoying!
    Thanks.

    Same thing has started to happen to me, with an Elbow album I imported ages ago. I've imported and purchased lots since, but now every time I sync that damned Elbow album gets copied track by track!
