ITunes 10.4 Crashes Upon App Sync With iPhone 3GS 32GB & iPad 2 64GB

I'm using the most recent iTunes software update (10.4.0.80) in conjunction wth IOS 4.3.5 on both my iPhone 3GS 32GB and iPad 2 64GB.
Both my iPhone and iPad have become unusable.

Well, yesterday I fixed this. I don't know very well what of all the things I did was the one that fixed my problem:
When I tried to reindtall Lion it told me that my disk was not able to be used for the instalation so, investigating a lot pf posts, I did all this in order to reinstall Lion and see if iTunes worked properly after this:
-I removed my Bootcamp partition (used to use Windows XP).
-I made an empty small partition.
-Then I was able to reinstall Lion into my main partition.
-Installed Lion. iTunes started to work again.
-I removed the small partition.
I hope this helps someone.
Peace!

  • Itunes 11 crashing when apps sync with iPhone 5

    After reading several related forums, I am experiencing the crashing of Itunes 11 when synching to my new iPhone 5. I upgraded from the iPhone 4 without problems but now cannot sync with Itunes 11. I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 on an 8gb Macbook Pro Late 2008 Unibody with 500 GB HD. I made sure to repair and verify and subsequently repair disk permissions.
    When trying to sync apps my Itunes 11 crashes (in the 7/7 phase of synching). When I install from the Itunes app store, no crashing for the app. I had Itunes 10.7.2 and it did not crash.
      When I de-select the apps from my library to be removed, all other content syncs well. It seems that apps stored on my Mac do not sync and cause Itunes 11 to crash.
       After eliminating other possibilities, it appears that Itunes 11 has a bug. This begs for a fix (11.1) very soon. I will have to do app updates through my Iphone 5 until this fix is made.
    Am I missing something here that needs fixing? My Itunes app library was in great shape and I do backup my ITunes library ever 6-12 months and have regular Time Machine backups...

    I finally found several errors that may all help you who may have the same problem. While each of these steps may or many not help you, here is what I did to achieve a resolution. I will provide the logic as much as I can.
    1. The problem is as above, unchange
    Step 1: I made sure that my Mac (late 2008 unibody, running Mac OS X 10.8.2 with all recent updates) was infact working well. I verified and repaired permissions as well as verified and repaired my HD.
    Step 2: I went through my iTunes app library and eliminated duplicates as well as apps that 'hung' (apps that would be updated but never leave the update screen- somehow these apps are duplicated- delete one of these to clean up your app update screen.
    Step 3: Check for operating mode. You most likely need to run iTunes 11 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (and possibly Lion) in 64 bit mode. Close iTunes and open your Applications folder. There select iTunes 11 and under the file menu- select Get info. See if your iTunes is running in 32 bit mode*. Uncheck this if 32 bit mode is selected. Close the window and restart Itunes. Try synching with your iPhone or Ipod (touch). This may work.
    *Step 4: If you have 32 bit mode checked, think back to if you installed 3rd party plugins. I realized I have a legacy plugin for iToner that forced iTunes 11 to jump back from 32 bit and 64 bit modes. Check your iTunes plugins and either delete or backup/delete plugins.
    After doing all this, my iTunes 11 and iPhone 5 started synching again.
    I hope this helps. Whenever there are problems in upgrades, check 3rd party plugins! Check that folder to jog your memory!

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar Appointments have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa.

    Outlook 2007 Calendar Appts have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa. Only noticed in last month or so. Help required please.
    May have been after an iTunes update.

    Any ideas and assistance greatly appreciated.

  • ITunes 9.2.1 New Feature: Sync with iPhone 4 on-the-go?????

    The following was the first of a few new features in iTunes 9.2.1:
    "Sync with iPhone 4 to enjoy your favorite music, movies, TV shows, books and more on-the-go"
    Can someone who owns an iPhone 4 and has updated to iTunes 9.2.1 explain what this feature is?

    Hello, I have the same problem! (iTunes 9.0.1.8 iPhone 3G 3.1.2 (7D11) Windows7 64bit msi EX630 notebook)
    My temporally solution is bit anoying but simple!
    Everything is closed just iTunes is opened. System performance is set to max level.
    So transfer Your music just 1 album at once!
    So if You have 4albums to transfer just make it four times. If you transfer single tracks then make it just 8 or 10 songs at once.
    I don't know why it works but it works for Me...!
    ps: Apple need really fix this! It is annoying!

  • Deleting apps on itunes 11 not deleting them when syncing with Iphone 4s!

    Before I updated to Itunes 11 I used to delete unwanted apps on Itunes and then when sysncing through PC running windows 7, apps used to be deleted on iphone. After updating to Itunes 11 this is not being done. You can sync purchased apps from Itunes to Iphone and also from Iphone to Itunes both directions, but when deleting both directions won't work, therefore in order to delete the app I have to delete apps both on Iphone and Itunes!

    This is a user to user support forum. Apple don't monitor for feedback or to give direct support.
    Ideally you would delete any apps you no longer want on the device either directly on it, or by unticking them when you sync. They would stay in your library in case you want to reinstall later. You can discard from the library also, and in most cases you would be able to download again later if you wanted, but apps do get removed from time to time, or updated so that they no longer work with older versions of iOS. Keeping all your content, and a backup uof it, keeps you in control. Either way removing from the device, then later from the library if you wish, is probably the best way to do it.
    You may find that setting the option under Edit > Preferences > Devices to Prevent automatic syncing... will mean that you get the warning to transfer or remove back when you do sync. Alternatively try Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset warnings.

  • Upgrading to windows 8 , hence will have to reinstall itunes , will all my playlist. apps synced with my iphone get deleted ?

    i am upgrading to windows 8 , and i will have to reinstall itunes on my computer, will doing so delete all the data ? to be specific will it delete all the playlist n the stuff that i currently see in my itunes ? whats gonna happen to all the apps that i had downlaoded for my iphone ?

    As given iTunes is not currently supported on Windows 8, however this is the approach that I would recommend when the time comes.
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old operating system.
    Install new operating system.
    Restore the backup to your new system using the same tool used to back it up.
    Install iTunes.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    This should give the new system a complete clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • ITunes 11: Newest podcasts won't sync with iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 5 - I abandoned the Podcasts app in favor of just syncing my podcasts through iTunes and listening to them in the Music app.
    But since the iTunes update last night, I haven't been able to sync the newest downloads of my podcasts (my settings are to automatically sync unplayed episodes of selected podcasts and delete them from my device once they've been played, upon the next sync.)
    I tried the usual re-set, restart of both iTunes and my iPhone. I've even selected a new podcast, and old unplayed episodes of it sync perfectly fine. But there are two or three podcasts that won't sync their newest episodes with my device.
    Has anyone else run into this?

    I had this issue as well. After trying various things, here's what I did to solve the problem:
    - rebooted both the computer and the iPhone (not sure if this is necessary or not)
    - turned off syncing of the affected podcasts (in iTunes, click on the device, then click the "Podcasts" tab at the top and then in the Podcasts list I unchecked the specific podcasts that were not syncing
    - sync the iPhone (by pressing the Sync button at the bottom right of the iTunes window)
    - turned syncing of the affected podcasts back on
    - sync the iPhone again
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes library and syncing with iPhone 3GS trouble

    I have an iPhone 3GS. When I got to update to iOS 4.3 from the latest 4.2 update I either get am error saying that the file was corrupt or sometimes I get an error saying that my firmware is not compatible. Also, when I just try to sync to iTunes I get an unknown error saying that I cannot finish syncing with iTunes; which has caused my apps to not sync back to my phone and my photos as well. Last night after the latter error I just disconnected my phone and went to bed but I also discovered that my phone has a fraction of the apps that it did have on it. I did not get a chance to check if my apps has all synced back to iTunes at least. And another issue is that lately iTunes has been having issues with the library and keeps creating a damaged.xml. Help, please!!

    try removing all the music and snycing it back to your iphone

  • ITunes 11.0.4 does not sync with iPhone 5

    I'm running Windows 8 (64bit).
    Installed the above and tried to sync, it can detect my iPhone 5, it can sync with my photos, but it can't sync with my music, movies and tones.
    There are some other songs, movies and tones already in my iPhone so when I sync, normally it would prompt me that all data would be erased if I sync with this computer, now there is no such message, all my old media files are still there which I can't even erase.
    Finally, when I tried transferring my apps, it said my computer not authorised.  After I authorised this computer, it still repeats same old error message and some of my apps are still not transferred.
    The older version of ITunes do not have such problem at all, kindly help, I'm a long time supporter of Apple, but this frustrating experience is really turning me off.
    Thank you very much.

    i have the same problem also.
    iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4, windows 7, iTunes 11.0.5

  • ITunes keeps freezing during a sync with IPhone 3Gs?

    I have repeated issue with ITunes syncing with my IPhone.  It keeps freezing while backing up the data.  I know there is an order to uninstall and reinstall the components of ITunes but I cannot find what it is.  Can you help?

    Check this thread out -> iTunes Crashes while selecting 'include video' in Sync Photos
    Try unchecking the "Include Videos" option on the Photos tab in iTunes. You can workaround the issue by adding the videos to your iTunes library and syncing them along with movies and TV shows.

  • ITunes 9.2 upgrade broken - No longer syncs with iPhone 3GS

    I just installed the new iTunes 9.2 (and SL 10.6.4) through Software Update.
    After rebooting, I find that iTunes 9.2 no longer syncs with my iPhone 3GS.
    iTunes sees my iPhone, but opens the "Set up your iPhone" screen. It tells me:
    An iPhone has been previously synced with this computer.
    [] Set up as a new iPhone
    [] Restore from the backup of [my iPhone 3GS]
    This is a horrible bug - I do not wish to erase/restore my iPhone 3GS that synced just fine before the reboot, thankyouverymuch
    I tried disconnecting and re-connecting my iPhone 3GS, to no avail...

    This worked for me on a win7 machine - haven't tried it on my macbook pro machine:
    Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows :
    1. Windows XP
    * Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone or iPod touch.
    * Choose Start > Control Panel.
    * Inside the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools.
    * Open Services.
    * Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
    * After the service is stopped, Click Start the service.
    * After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
    2. Windows Vista
    * Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone or iPod touch.
    * Click the Windows Start button
    * In the Start Search field type Services.
    * In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
    * Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
    * After the service is stopped, click Start the service.
    * After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
    If after restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service you encounters with same problem then reinstall AMD S. For reinstalling just uninstall the iTunes from control panel then navigate to C:/ >> Program Files >> iTunes Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Note: This folder may have already been deleted if iTunes was successfully removed. Now Restart your computer and Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Mac OS X :
    # In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash.
    # Move the iTunes icon to the Trash
    # Choose Go > Go to Folder.
    # Enter /System/Library/Extensions and click Go.
    # Locate the file AppleMobileDevice.kext and drag it to the Trash.
    # Choose Go > Go to Folder.
    # Enter /Library/Receipts/ and click Go.
    # Locate the file AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg and drag it to the Trash. If prompted, authenticate with the admin password.
    # Choose Finder > Empty Trash and restart the computer.
    # Download and install the current version of iTunes www.apple.com/itunes/

  • 1 file in iTunes on Mac won't sync with iPhone 3GS

    I have one big mp3 file (around 100 MB) that's in iTunes 9.2.1 on my Macbook that won't automatically sync with my iPhone 3GS (iOS4.1).
    When I turn 'manage manually' on, I can drag this file to the iPhone and that does work.
    But when I turn 'manage manually' off again, the next sync this file is removed again from my iPhone.
    Any ideas how to solve this? I removed the file from iTunes and reloaded it back in, but no luck.

    Thanks. I checked that already and the weird thing is, that is says 'Music' there, but in list view in iTunes it's ranked under 'Podcast' (in the Artist column). When I imported the file in iTunes, it was correctly categorized under the right artistname (not in 'Podcast'), but after syncing with my iPhone it was suddenly categorized as a podcast.
    Weird...
