Itunes 10.5 takes forever to open and does not Sync my iPhone 4S
I used to have the iPhone 4 with iTunes 10.4 and everything worked fine except that it takes 5 minutes exact to open iTunes. I just expected this but it least it synced fine.
I now have iPhone 4S and iTunes 10.5 and it still takes 5 minutes to open but now I can't sync my phone. After I plug in my iPhone 4-5 minutes later
I get "itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services reconnect or try again later"
This seems to be a common error.
I called Apple support and said I need to uninstall in this exact order
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Reboot
Reinstall iTunes 10.5
Same thing takes 5 minutes to open then I get the above error.
If I run iTunes as a different user on my PC it works fine. Opens in a few seconds and syncs no problem. I just don't have my library loaded so I can't sync my real stuff.
Apple said they support the iPhone but not iTunes so they could not help me??????
Does anyone have any idea? I have been trying to get this to work since I got my iPhone 4S on Oct 14 and nothing works so far.
Thanks
David
Anybody?

I recently updated my ITines software to version10 and since the update it doesn't recognise my Iphone/ It also takes 2 - 3 minutes from clicking the icon to firing up the software.
Is anyone else having this problem and how was it resolved?
ThanksActually, Chris, I found that page yesterday on my own doing a search, before I wrote my post. After your instructions didn't work, I found that page and tried deleting the iAdcore.dll and that did not work. When I tried to open it said it didn't have the iAdcore and could not be opened. There was no QTMovieWin there to delete. I again uninstalled everything in the order listed on this new page, because there were 7 things to uninstall (not 5 as your last page suggested). I found that I had iCloud so that was deleted in the proper order. Did not have MobileMe on the computer. Also deleted Apple Application support, which wasn't on your list either. I restarted the computer. I looked for any files on drive C program files as indicated, and did not find any of those files. I went to the iTunes page and downloaded the latest version yet again (maybe the 5th time?). And I got the same notice:
"The iTunes Library.itl cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the iTunes folder in the music folder."
I went to that iTunes folder in the music folder there are a number of iTunes library folders and none of the open except one. The ones that don't open give me the same dialogue box as above. The last folder opens to a page of codes, I guess that's what it is. Gobbeldy gook to me. But that folder is listed at the top in the URL as itTunes Library.xml. I don't see any .itl. Is that the folder I need? And how do I get that??
I don't know if that last paragraph is significant, but I thought I'd include just in case it is.
BTW, can I just download an older version of iTunes? And how can I find it? I still have the old version on my old computer which is at home. Not sure how to get it from that to this one.
Thanks for hanging in there with me. Perhaps there is someone else who could help if you can't figure it out. -
I was one this site for 20+ Days and found a fix for 10.2.1 when it failed. I Uninstalled all, following other attempts that failed, then installed latest Version from Apple iTunes 10.2.12. I then uninstalled Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) and installed AMDS from the older 10.0 version of iTunes. Success it worked. Today, I am now back to old problem, iTnes takes very long time to open and fails to see my device when connected (iPhone). I really only have iTunes for my iPhone no extensive library a few hundred CD's in music location and no podcasts. I have less than 6 moveis and want to update them now. I am willing to lose all in iTunes library if need be just to get computer to see G3 iPhone with iOS 4.2 and let me synch once again. I like security of backup too. It older iTunes may now not support, that too is OK. I still want to get the 3GS (no 4G desires, yet) and do not care if any of it is the latest from Apple as long as it works.
Hi Erik,
Your basic suggestion actually worked for me. But this is what I did for others who are having issues removing/installing etc.
1. Download the latest iTunes 8.2. You should end up with a file iTunesSetup.
2. If you dont already have WinRAR, download free copy from http://www.rarlab.com/ and install.
3. Right click on iTunesSetup and choose "Extract" to somewhere you know. eg C:\itunetemp
4. Open up folder where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi
5. It should ask you if you want to repair or remove... choose remove.
6. REBOOT your PC.
7. Go back to where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi and go through the install.
8. Plug in your iPhone.
If all is well iTunes should automatically start and start syncing your iPhone.
Goodluck all!
Cheers. -
Address book does not launch and does not sync to iphone
When I had upgraded to 10.5.4, the permissions from my user profile got corrupted. Since then I have created another profile and rebuilt permissions. Now the address book is not launching, it just bounces in the dock and nothing happens. Also when I try to sync my iphone i get an error saying i don't have permissions to carry out a operation and it quits out. i think it has to do with the address book not launching. Is this a permissions problem or another quirky thing because of this 10.5 OS??
Thanks in advanceI'm not sure what you mean by your "user profile." Do you mean you recreated a new user account along with a new home folder?
If you create a second account, can you launch the Address Book from that one?
If you cannot launch Address Book at all, you may need to reinstall OS X. -

Excel opens and does not close when using the OI classes for some users...
Hello Experts,
I am using the OI classes(i_oi_container_control, i_oi_error, i_oi_document_proxy, i_oi_spreadsheet) to transfer Excel data to my itab. The problem we are encountering is that for some users the excel automatically opens and does not close. But in my case it is not opening so it is fine in my case. In my code I am already using the 'CLOSE_DOCUMENT' and 'RELEASE_DOCUMENT'.Viraylab,
Check by any case you set the parameter register_on_close_event of the method init_control? Dont set the parameter as it will look for the corressponding custom code in your program. Also try with the method release_all_documents.

I recently updated my iTunes with the lates version but now it does not detect my iPhone 5 which it was working with the old version!!!
Hi, M_ghaderi.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Notes does not sync between iPhone 6 plus and iPad Air
The Notes app does not sync between iPhone 6 plus and iPad Air. These used to sync before when I had an iPhone 4. I have been trying to troubleshoot this for about an hour now, so all the basics such as deciding on a default Notes account, to turning on and off iCloud functions for both devices, as well as signing out of of my apple account on both devices, then back in. Nothing seems to be working - is this a fault in the current iOs?? It's driving me nuts.
You can't pair iOS devices.
that's not how continuity works.

Just updated iTunes to 10.6.0.40. Now it does not detect my iPhone (prompt says reconnect, could not detect). Tried restarting and different USB port. What next asside from system restore with my Windows 7.Cannot Sync or get photos. Have 3Gs with os4.
I removed iTunes completely, then reinstalled. Still not identifying phone. When iPhone connected, prompt says "iPhone detected, could not be identified properly. Unplug and try again." Still not working.
Tried by installing previous version of iTunes (10.5.0.142) which did worked. Would not open iTunes because it had been previously installed with a newer version.
Sucessfully reinstalled ver 10.6.0.40 again. Then tried again by removing iTunes, iCloud and QuickTime. Reinstalled iTunes 10.6.0.40 and same problem, detected iPhone but could not identify properly. What next? -
Project Takes FOREVER to Open and Close
We have a large RoboHTML project that outputs to a WebHelp
system. The version of RoboHelp is X 5, possibly a version after
that, I think - but dated 2004. Two of us share this project, but
we don't use Version Control. The size of the project is about 45
MB, and includes several subfolders of topic HTMs. My coworker has
the same issues, possibly a bit faster than what I have, but still
excessive Open and Close Project times.
It takes an extremely long time to open, like about 10
minutes or more. When I select to Close Project, the CPU Usage
shown in Task Manager is up to 100 % and stays there, so the
closing process is maxed out and frozen, and obviously isn't happy.
Even when I close other applications, the project can take over 30
minutes to close - no error messages, just hourglassing. While I'm
using the project, it doesn't max out. There have been times when,
as much as I hated to do it, I had to do an End Task with Task
Manager because the project wasn't closing (and I had to leave).
Also, note that the CPD file of this project is over 4 MB. I
just was reading about deleting the CPD file, so I plan on doing
that.
I'm not sure of any more details I can provide. While I'm
working on the project, there are usually no freezes or response
time problems. Just the extremely long Open Project time - and even
longer Close Project time.
I would so appreciate any solutions or ideas. Thanks!!!
SusanUpdate - I deleted the CPD file, and it opened a lot faster!!
It also closed in a reasonable amount of time - however, I did not
work in the project for a while before I closed it. So we'll see
what happens when I close it at the end of the day.
So, the deletion of the CPD file may have solved the problem.
However, if anyone wants to offer feedback on this possible
solution, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Please!! If someone can help. I have tried every possible thing and I have installed and uninstalled everything multiple times. Itunes worked fine a couple weeks ago and now it won't open just gives an error message everytime.
Generate another of those error messages and click the "Click here" link in the error message box. What modname and modver are showing for the error? (Precise spelling please.)
If the error is a BEX and thus doesn't show an modname or modver, let us know what P1 through P9 items are showing for you instead. -
ITunes 12.0.1 now just "hangs" and does not complete the sync with my iPhone (iOS 6.1.6).
Hello all,
I've seen similar posts earlier in Apple discussions, but I haven't come across a definitive answer yet…So, let me ask again:
Up until 6-7 hours ago, iTunes 12.0.1 was working perfectly well including syncing with my iPhone (I use an oldie but a goodie and it suits my purposes, iOS 6.1.6, 3GS). Specifically iTunes now "hangs" and will not complete the syncing process with my iPhone. It get to "2 of 6" in the backing up process, and then the spinning beach ball appears. I keep my iTunes library on a separate external HD (USB).
Even if I only want to launch iTunes 12 to use it (and NOT sync), the application freezes.
In similar posted questions, "Linc Davis" has asked that the user run a diagnostic using the Terminal utility. I have done this, and I paste the results below.
Any help with this is appreciated!

Elapsed time (s): 75Dear Linc,
Thanks, once again, for repeating yourself by sending me the message above (a message you have sent to MANY users with this problem)!
However, you give me this great opportunity to say two things: 1) YAHOO! I fixed the problem, and 2) I want to share how I did so because I hope it helps others.
With the help of reading info at this website http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/22/fix-the-itunes-library-itl-cannot-be-read-version -error-when-downgrading-itunes/, I followed this procedure:
1) I deleted the iTunes 12.0.1 app from my computer
2) In addition, in reading related details at the website above (i.e., by clicking on links on the page AND scrolling to the very bottom to view links to related articles), in my iTunes library folder, I changed MY CURRENT "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library.old", as the website advises. The current .itl file was the one being used by the iTunes app I had just deleted from my computer.
3) I went to the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and dragged a copy of the second-most recent .itl file to my desktop (for me, this file was "iTunes Library 2014-07-23.itl").
4) I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl"
5) I then dragged a copy of the file in step #4 to my iTunes folder (the folder in which you now also have the "iTunes Library.old" file).
6) I closed all remaining apps on my computer that were opened and I restarted it.
7) Now, you don't have any iTunes app on your computer, so I downloaded a .dmg of iTunes 12.0.1.26 and installed the app (for example, you can download from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5661/apple-itunes.
8) Once installed, I opened iTunes and immediately I got the dialogue box, "updating iTunes library" -- THIS TOOK FOREVER AS I HAVE CLOSE TO 1,000 SONGS + OTHER ITEMS IN MY LIBRARY!
9) I patiently waited until the library update completed, but it DID COMPLETE.
10) Viola! iTunes 12 is not "hanging" (or freezing) any longer. I can navigate around the application.
CAVEATS:
1) Before I first deleted "the corrupted" iTunes 12, I was able to open the Preferences panel, go to "Devices", and check the box that stops the app from syncing with my iPhone. This setting seemed to carry over; thus, I have not tried to sync yet…WISH ME LUCK!
2) After going through steps 1-10 above, I didn't immediately have Internet Radio available in the application (i.e., I didn't see it), but it is now showing up and it works! I just had to wait for a few minutes...
3) I also use iTunes Match, but I haven't turned it on yet in the newly installed app. On the iTunes Match page, it says, "Add this computer" or "No thanks". So, the app is behaving as if I'm just beginning to use iTunes Match for the first time. Later, I will click on "Add this computer", and I hope it goes smoothly!
4) This isn't a caveat, but I think I should say: my iTunes library is on an external USB HD (I have to say THANK GOD for that). Obviously, this has implications for doing steps 2 to 5 above. The newly installed iTunes 12 app had no trouble in finding where my library is (I had it set up this way back when I was using iTunes 10).
5) One last piece of advice: Make sure that when you plug your iPhone into any other computer only to re-charge but the iTunes app on that computer wants to sync with your phone, you DON'T let it sync. First, you should go to Preferences in the iTunes app and click on "Devices". Then check the box that says, "Prevent iPods, iPhones,…….from syncing automatically." After that, you would be able to plug in your iPhone to another computer to re-charge it.
FINALLY: I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS WILLING TO SUGGEST SOLUTIONS TO ME REGARDING THIS PROBLEM! I see that MANY users are having this difficulty, so I thought it would be fair for me to share how I resolved the issue -- my iTunes is running fine now...
