ITunes 10.5.2 hangs when transferring to iPhone

Ever since I updated to 10.5.2 iTunes hangs whenever I manually add/remove podcasts and songs to my iPhone 4S.  It always says that I am trying to transfer more songs than I selected.  I could highlight one song and drag it to my phone, but then the status will say "copying 1 of 55" songs.  It transfers the first one fine and then hangs when it gets to "copying 2 of 55".  The hang lasts for about 20 seconds and I get the pinwheel.  Is there any I can do to fix this.  I'm using a MacBook Pro and all of my software is up to date.

Sound like your computer is using the wrong apple mobile device driver.

    My brother with the iPhone 4 suffers from that too.
    My iphone 5 doesnt however.
    But to Stop Launch when your apple device is connected, 1. connect your iPhoneto your computer, 2.Go to the Summary Page, 3. uncheck the box "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" and then your good for that device.

  • Problem synching photos from PC to iPad air. Using iTunes it gives me option when I connect iphone to synch from ' my photos' however with the iPad it just gives me option one folder at a time. And once it has synch it if I try to synch another it just

    Hi I'm not very computer literate so pls be gentle! I bought an iPad air two days ago and synch my photos using iTunes just fine.
    Today for some reason I noticed all these white thumbnails on my laptop in the photos section. Stupidly I deleted all 600 of them and all my photis on the iPad immediately vanished. Later I restored the photos from the recycling bin to my photos
    However now I try to re synch them there is no option to synch from ' my pictures' just each little folder ( whereas before I had a drop down box and could select which folders I wanted) however when I synch iphone it does offer the option
    Anyway even if I synch each folder it will kep replacing the last one so I can only ever have one folder of photos on the iPad if u see?
    How can I transfer my photos please?
    And how can I get the option back of the drop down box and tick as many folders as I want?
    Many thanks

    or... put your photos in "My Pictures" in My Documents, and viola, itunes syncs it to the iphone. only one sentence needed =/
    maybe im missing your point here, the long paragraph is mindboggling

  • Since upgrading to iTunes 10.5 it crashes when plugging in iPhone

    I wanted to upgrade my iPhone to iOS 5, so I did the software update to OS X 10.7.2 and iTunes to 10.5, then restarted my Mac. Since then when iTunes is running and I plug in my iPhone, iTunes crashes. What do I do?

    I'm having the same issue when trying to update my iPhone 4 from the original software version to iOS 5 from my PC. I inherited this phone when my original iPhone 4 was lost. I had kept up with all the updates and now I think since my phone has so many updates between 4.2.1 to the iOS 5 that may be the reason? Any help would be appreciated! I even removed iTunes and reinstalled again. I deauthorized my phone and authorized again, but still no luck.

  • ITunes downloads seem to hang when library is on shared USB hard disk

    I have a shared USB hard disk on my AirPort Extreme Base Station. I'm able to play music just fine, but when I download a podcast or purchased music from iTunes, the download will start and then hang for a long time. When I quit and tell it to quit downloading in the dialog box, it ignores my choice and won't quit. I'm not even able to force quit iTunes and then can't even shut down my iBook without killing it by holding down the power button.
    Is this an issue with transfering the data to the harddrive while airport is also downloading the song? Is there a way to avoid this situation? A setting? Should I be connected to the router directly and not wirelessly?
    Please help.

    You have to mount your drive each time you want to use it. There is a special Airport Disk Utility to do that. Or you create an alias on your desktop (which you can of course only do once you have connected for the first time).

  • How do I stop iTunes from compressing audio/photos when transferred to IOS device? (iPad

    Hello,
         I have noticed that 13GB of photo's only equals around 3GB on the iPad and iPhone. I noticed the same thing with audio. Although, I do not notice the compression with video.
         My question is, how do I stop it from compressing photo's if I want to? I understand it saves space, but what if I wanted to email the full size photo to someone. This also may defeat the purpose of some editing programs. I would like to know how to do the same with audio.
         It does not affect the original files in anyway, correct? Also, I using the manual drag and drop option for Movies and audio. I sync with the photos.

    With syncing photos you can't change how they are synced, iTunes will 'optimise' them when copying them over to the device - and no, the original photos on your computer are not affected, iTunes creates separate 'optimised' versions of the photos on your computer and copies those over.
    If you want the original versions of the photos on your iPad then (and if there were only a few that you wanted full-scale) you could email them to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app to copy them to the Photos app, or use the camera connection kit with your iPad to copy them via an SD card to it - photos copied via the kit are copied full resolution, they aren't changed.
    Or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which can copy photos to/from your computer via the 'file sharing' section on the device's Apps tab in iTunes, they will be copied as-is - that app can also copy photos to/from it and the Photos app.
    For your music, on the device's Summary tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, under the Options heading have you currently got the 'convert higher bit rate songs to ...' set ?

  • When Transferring to iPhone, iTunes Splitting Tracks Into Separate Albums

    I have an album in iTunes; when I transfer it to iPhone 6, it puts 2 tracks into a separate album on the phone. All "Get Info" fields are matching; using latest versions on both Macbook and iPhone 6.

    Sounds to me like you want to go into Settings > Music and turn Group By Album Artist off.

  • Itunes 7.0.1 hangs when iPod 2G attached

    I have updated firmware (using separate updater, because iTunes hangs), erased and re-partitioned; zeroed all data (disk utility); restored factory settings on the iPod.
    iTunes displays "updating iPod", spinning pizza appears, cmd-opt-esc shows iTunes "not responding". Leaving it for an hour makes no difference.
    iPod still works as a hard disk and behaves normally (boots up, menus, extras all ok).

    I have managed to solve the problem. It seems that iTunes 7.0.1 is unable to play one album in my entire collection and it hangs if I try to have any songs from that album in my iTunes library. I managed to get iTunes working again by reimporting my iTunes library and then removing the offending album before it could get up to doing the gapless playback mojo on those tracks.
    To reinstall the iTunes library
    1- go to ~/Music/iTunes/
    2- move iTunes Music Library.xml file to your desktop.
    3- trash the iTunes Library file.
    4- start up iTunes and go to ->File->Import and import the iTunes Music Library.xml file from your desktop.
    Bare in mind if you have a big library that it will probably take a while to import your entire file list. Try removing the offending song from your iTunes library and see if it works.
    Strangely, the offending mp3 files play fine if opened in Quicktime. It would seem that something to do with the files encoding is crashing iTunes gapless playback process.

  • Migration Assistant hangs when transferring data from Windows 7 to mac

    My PC is a Windows 7 64 bit.  When I run Migration Assitant, I get as far as the screen that has my Windows Name and my Windows Account Name. Those are filled in automatically.  When I click "Continue", nothing happens.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    I agree with the idea of an enhancement request, MA should have some more options if used later, normaly users a curious to log into the fresh system, and transfer data and settings at a later date.
    Unfortunately, a "merge" option, where it would add things to an existing user account, isn't realistic.  That would work fairly well for such things as documents, where everything is in separate files (although settings and preferences would get a bit tricky).
    But not for things like iCal, AddressBook, or Mail, where there are complex structures.  Trying to merge those in any automated way would be very complex.   Even worse would be 3rd-party apps that Apple can't possibly know how to handle.
    One thing that might help would be rewording the "You can transfer information later using Migration Assistant" line at the bottom of the Setup Assistant window:
    A number of us have asked for that to be worded differently -- warning that it's much better to do it first, or not to install stuff you're going to need, or something.   All to no avail, of course.

  • Itunes 10.2.2 freezing when I connect Iphone

    I wonder if anyone can help me on this one.
    I updated my Itunes to 10.2.2. on my G5 quad  running OS 10.5.8. When I plug in my iphone(3gs) it can take 5 minutes for it to appear in itunes during which itunes hangs (spinning beachball). It eventually appears and takes forever to back up and sync anything. It is driving me mad. Any suggestions

    From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    Deselect: Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Click OK.

  • Itunes won't open automatically when I plug iphone in

    I have recently had a lot of trouble syncing calendars with my iphone.  I have done all sorts of restarts etc.  One problem throughout (recent) is that when I plug my ipne in, itunes won't start up automatically and sync.  I cannot tick the box on itunes saying "open itunes when this phone is connected" as it is pale grey and won't let me.  Anyone any other ideas?  Everything is updated.
    I am on a mac and running Mac OS  X version 10.6.7
    itunes version 10.2.2 (12)

    Thanks!
    The likeliest possibility I can think of based on your symptoms is damaged Apple Application Support program files. (Much like iTunes versions 9.0.x, iTunesHelper requires a properly functioning Apple Application Support in order to work correctly.)
    *Assuming that you don't have a Safari for Windows version 4.0.5 installed on that system,* I'd try the following technique with a 32-bit Vista:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2256037
    *If you have a Safari 4.0.5 installed on the system* we'll need to try something different. (We need to make sure that you have an Apple Application Support 1.2.0 on the PC in order for Safari 4.0.5 to work ... at the present point in time, the procedure I outline above will only put an Apple Application Support version 1.1.0 back on your PC.)

  • ITunes does not start up when plugging in iPhone?

    I wonder how to get iTunes start up automatically when I plug my iPhone in to my MacBook. Right now, when I plug in my iPhone the iPhoto starts up instead. This is strange because I thought that iTunes should be the one starting up. Anyone knows how to fix this.

    I found this thread trying to figure out the opposite: disable iTunes from starting up every time I plugged in my iPhone. The UI flow doesn't make it obvious either way.
    If auto sync is disabled globally in itunes/settings/devices, the sync option in the summary pane/advanced section is unchecked and grayed out.
    So by checking the global disable option, iTunes will always automatcially start up (by not sync) when I plug in my iPhone regardless.
    By unchecking to "enable" automatic syncing (double negative UI options FTL), that enables the summary pane/advanced section where you can now uncheck the automatic sync option for the device, which will then also keep iTunes from popping up.
    Confused?
