ITunes 10.5 hangs during iPhone 4 sync

Just installed iTunes 10.5 and attempted to sync iPhone 4/4.3.5 several times. The process hangs while "Backing up" with the status bar right under the t in (Step 1 of 5). I've swiped the phone to cancel, which leaves iTunes continuing on as if the phone were still syncing. I used Task Manager to quit iTunes on Win Vista, restarted iTunes and attempted to sync again. Hangs in the same place. So, I restarted the computer, restarted iTunes and it's still hanging during Backing up... I am so frustrated! Help!!!

I've two Windows 7 64 bit desktops.
On the one I've always used which has all my backups, apps, music etc etc I'm having the same problem and I've tried everything including above suggestion, removing and reinstalling, New download, stopping processes using MSCONFIG and Autoruns all to no avail.
On the scond PC it's all working perfectly but I've no backups, apps, data, music or data.
Not happy.

When I delete a podcast in iTunes it is still on iPhone after sync; just in the cloud.

When I delete a podcast in iTunes it is still on iPhone after sync; just in the cloud (it has a close and download icon). All I want to do is delete it. I Now I have to delete in manually from all devices. I have not listened to it either.
Also, I cannot use the selling to delete played podcasts, because I want to keep some of them.
I have IOS 8.1, iTunes 12.0.. and OSX 10.10.1. iPhones 4,5 and 6 and iPad Air 2
In the good old days, you deleted in iTunes and the next time you synced it, it was removed from the iPhone, iPods and iPads. Now, I have to update them all.
Note: Subscription takes place on my Mac, not the other devices.
Am I missing something, because this is a real pain?
Thanks
Tony..

You aren't mssing anything. As far as I am aware, this is simply the process that you need to take to remove them.

ITunes 7.5 hangs during CD playback - OS X

I posted the below last night. Today while checking for followups, I found that it was under Windows version of iTunes (even though a couple other posters may be referring to OS X as well based on their signature) My comments are for only for Mac.

Re: itunes 7.5 hangs during cd download preview
Posted: Nov 30, 2007 10:46 PM
I am having the same problem on 2 different G5 Dual PPC systems running 7.5. This occurs when playing commercial (redbook) CDs..... during CD playback iTunes stalls after the 2nd song (usually at time marker 0:02). I have no problem playing back any music already in my iTunes library (99% AIFF format). Something is up with this version! Please correct it asap. thanks.

When I searched I missed this thread: Problem Playing CDs in iTunes 7.5 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1225880&tstart=0 which has the solution/fix. Seems to be the "Use Error Correction when reading audio CDs" setting in the Advanced >Importing iTunes preferences. The other solutions deleted plist files which essentially reset the preferences to default which has Use Error Corrections off.
I am listening to a CD now which did not stall at the normal track location.
I have to confirm that a CD does not stall when ripping(import CD) with the Use Error Correction setting ON.

ITunes 11.3 hangs during syncing

I'm having trouble syncing with iTunes 11.3. It gets the "syncing calendar" stage and just stays there. I left it for several hours. I can cancel out of it, but my calendar is not synced. I tried turning off automatically syncing, but it does the same thing when I sync manually. I also tried totally removing all of the apple installs and reinstalling and that didn't make any difference.
This worked fine in the past. It's only since iTunes updated itself that I started having trouble.

Alright, thank you for the update. You should next look for an 3rd party plugins that may be causing an issue, with this article:

If the issue persists you can download and install the latest version of iTunes directly from our website, then restart the computer and test again:

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

HELP!!! Syncing iPhone 4 with iTunes says "wants to erase iPhone and sync to iTunes"

I created a ringtone in iTunes and I wanted to transfer it to my iPhone 4. It says my iPhone is assocated with another iTunes library and it needs to erase the iPhone and sync it with this iTunes. Is it going to erase EVERYTHING on my phone if I click erase and sync or just the music?

It will erase everything unless you use the iTunes library to which the iPhone was originally synced to.

ITunes video jumps when using iPhone (wifi sync enabled)

Hello,
I have had many issues with wireless sync for my iPhone, but I am going to focus on one issue here:
(When the wireless syncing is working) and I am watching a film, video podcast, TV show... anything video, on iTunes, if I open my iPhone (not physically connected to the PC) to look at something, maybe just to check the time, the video on iTunes stutters to a halt for a little while. Now, I know this has got to be to do with the iPhone checking in with iTunes wirelessly, almost a ping-negotiation-authentication thing, but is there any way to stop is messing up what I am watching? It is very annoying.
I have Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, iTunes 10.5.3 64-bit, (iPhone iOS 5.0.1), a 1GB Graphics Card, a Core2Duo 2.4Ghz CPU, and 4GB RAM, so it is not like I am underspec'd, and it does seem to be specifically iTunes and wifi-sync related.
Has anyone else experienced this, and has anyone else solved this?

Hi there,
I also have this exact same problem and have struggled to find any solution that works, and until now have not found anyone else with the same problem.
I would be interested to hear if anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this.
I have Windows 7, 32-bit, iTunes 10.5.3.3, iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1), 4GB RAM, Intel Quad 2.4Ghz, nVidia GeForce 8800 GT... so as with Buonacorsi, I don't think I'm underspec'd.
I can confirm that if I switch off iPhone wifi syncing I don't have any problems. I keep switching off wifi syncing, but I find more and more that I want to use that function so it is quite annoying.
Anyway, looking forward to hearing any thoughts...

TS3219 My iTunes does not recognize my iPhone; no sync info on left side of my itunescreen

iTunes does not recognize my iPhone in windows 7. The sync info no longer populates on the left. When I plug iPhone, iTunes does not lunch, instead I get an 'autoplay' box

Hi karwilson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, this article may help:

If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:

Itunes 10.5.2. hanging up during IPhone 4 Sync

I have an Imac running OS 10.6.8 and am using Itunes 10.5.2. on same.
Ever since the recent unfortunate debut of Icloud and wifi syncing, I have been having nothing but tons of problems with Apple sync software creating thousands of duplicate entries in my address and contact files, as well as calendars, on both the desktop Imac and the IPhone.
Now, after a recent purge of duplicate entries in the desktop address book, ITunes/Iphone syncing is hanging up altogether.
ITunes start syncing the Iphone normally, by backing up successfully. Then it goes to "Contacts" and goes on and on and on and on and on and NEVER finishes. So I have to force-quit Itunes and then I disabled the syncing of Contacts.
SO Now the application is doing the same thing with my Ical calendars. Hangs up with a never ending diagonal progress bar animation that just goes on and on and on and on --- until I force quit the app ! SO now Itunes won't sync calendars and it won't sync contacts any more between the Iphone and the desktop. It will only hang up endlessly trying to do so.
What on earth is corrupted or wrong?
I am now effectively out of the sync business between my Iphone 4 with System 5 and my desktop Mac because all Itunes on the desktop will do is hang up and freeze and have to be force-quit when I try to sync anything at all.....
Any suggestions how to troubleshoot or isolate the problem, guys & gals ? ? ?
Nonhing like this ever happened before - - - until iOS5 and the poorly explained Icloud came along - - - first thousands of duplicate calendar and contact entries and now the Itunes app itself is hanging up and refusing to do a normal old-fashioned USB sync !

This thing is really works for me on Windows 7 32 bit.
+ Try to rename file "APSDaemon.exe" (c:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\) into "APSDaemon1.exe". Also before this you need to delete apsdaemon from Autorun (using CCleaner or directly in Registry) and to kill running apsdemon from Task Manager.
Now problem is solved, apsdaemon will not start anymore. You don't need to kill the task every time you close iTunes.
P.S. Be sure to rename item back when iTunes corrected version will be available.

Itunes hangs during ipad backup & sync

Hi, i want to upgrade the OS on my ipad. The procedure doesnt get past the backup. It just hangs there forever. Ive tried all the following:
de- and reinstalling itunes
deleting old (maybe incomplete) backup files from the backup directory
resetting the sync history
and - of course - rebbooting my ipad :-)
BTW, the same happens with my Iphone 3GS which is running IOS 3.1.2, so I suspect a setting or issue with my PC, but what could it be?
I am running windows XP SP2
grateful for any hints - willing to try (almost) anything

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Itunes shuts down during iphone 5c sync

When syncing one of our two new iphone 5c's in itunes after it was "restored" from old 1phone 4; itunes shuts down as soon as the APP button in clicked.
All other tabs work, but as soon as the APP button is clicked, itunes shuts down.
I have the updated version of itunes and the updated iOS software. I shut down and restarted both the computer and phone with the same issue.
I am able to use the APP button with the other new iphone 5c.
Any suggestions or guidance? Thank you!

This is really silly but here is the soultion:
You can't have Newsstand hidden in a folder.
If you do, move it to the homescreen then you will be able to access the Apps tab in iTunes 11.1. You can always move it to the folder afterwards.You can't have Newsstand hidden in a folder.

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.

Installed OS X Mavericks, now cannot load photos page on ITunes during IPhone/Ipad Sync

Hi I downloaded and installed OS X Mavericks last week.
But now realised that I cannot load the photos page during ITunes backup for apple devices!
Have tried reinstalling OS X Mavericks.
Wasn't able to delete itunes, so only could reinstall it.
Couldn't seem to resolve this problem.
Any tips?

Unfortunately without visually inspecting where everything is situated, it is difficult to say without putting you deeper in a hole. It is never a good idea to reinstall an older operating system on top of a new one. Your best bet to rescue your photos is to use an operating system independent file search tool. This tool may help, if you haven't overwritten the original files:
Download FindAnyFile v1.8.6 for older PowerPC Macs)
This program will search for files by their .jpg name and should be able to find old photos, if you know the number of the filename as it was in the Finder.
If you stored the files somewhere outside the main user, you may need help bringing over that user to your shared directory.
If you have overwritten the original files, only a data recovery tool would work. I would bring it in to service, since you attempted something that generally is not recommended unless you know what you are doing. Someone at a Mac usergroup could also attempt to help. http://www.apple.com/usergroups/

HT201407 new iphone 5 and 4 year old macbook, and for some reason my computer says a later version of itunes is required to use iphone to sync. updated most recent version possible and still can not sync to iphone.

new iphone 5 and 4 year old macbook, and for some reason my computer says a later version of iTunes is required. So, i went to ITunes and found i have the latest version availble at this time. iTunes say phone can not be synced because it requires a version of 10.7 or greater?

iPhone 5 requires OS X 10.6.8 & iTunes 10.7 or greater. I suspect you're running Leopard, 10.5.8, correct? If so, you will first have to update your OS, then iTunes in order to sync your phone.
