ITunes 11.1.2 will not finish syncing

I'm sure there's already a thread for this, but has anyone been able to get a message to Apple's iTunes programming directorate that the latest version of iTunes for Windows (11.1.2) is bug-ridden? Specifically, whether I'm syncing my iPhone 5s or my iPad 3rd Gen., the sycing process hangs at the last step, when process the window at the top of my iTunes screen says "finishing sync." The only think I can do is to hit the eject button and then reconnect it. This bug doesn't seem to be doing anything destructive to the devices, but it is a pain in the butt. I hope Apple releases a fix soon, and I hope there's no file corruption happening that the end user is unaware of.

This thread is about devices not syncing properly.  If your iPod Touch isn't behaving normally it's more likely that there's an issue with the device itself.
First try resetting it:

  • Running xp itouch will not finish sync

    I have been to the apple store and checked with my internet provider and my security provider and my itouch still will not finish syncing.
    After trying for several minutes it freezes my computer.

    They said everything looks like it should work. They uninstalled all components and reinstalled them in order according to your web instructions and it didn't make any difference.

  • Ipad will not finish sync itunes 11.1.3

    I have iOs 7.0.4 and Itunes 11.1,3,8 and the sync will not finish - it gets hung up on the " waiting for items to copy" function and will not seem to finish. Any suggestions are welcome. Apple really needs to get a handle on this problem, it seems to be chronic with this version of iTunes.

    And yet many are having no problem at all.
    If you are syncing wireless, try synching connected with cable, or visa versa.
    If iCloud is set up properly it does not create conflict unless given conflicting instructions.  The content in iCloud depends on your Apple ID.   You must use one as iCloud can only sync to one account at a time.   If you have books purchased on more than one ID, you must authorize them on your iTunes accounts get them to sync.
    Check the settings in iTunes on the computer.   Turn off auto sync in preferences.   Highlight the device and bring up summary page.   Go through each page and make sure boxes are checked for any content you want added.
    Apply
    Sync.
    IBooks have been a pain.   Only solution I found was to delete all books, then select and sync books back on to the device. 
    If you find significant bugs in operation.  
    First try.....reset all settings
    If that fails to help....Backup to computer (not the cloud)   Restore to factory.   Restore from backup

  • ITunes will not finish sync with Apps!!! HELP!!

    I have a Iphone 4s with ios 6 running on it and just yesterday it will not follow thru with the apps that i purchase from Itunes on the comp... It starts the process but when it gets to "Determining Apps To Sync" it just stops, no error message no nothing!!! HELP!!! I tried uninstalling Itunes and loading a fresh copy and it did not work, new cable!! HELP!!!
    Thans

    I figured it out!!! You need to uninstall Itunes completely from the PC, make sure you go into the System Files, these are located under start, my computer, then a folder called "program files", make sure you delete the Itunes entirely and empty the recycle bin, restart the comp, install itunes once again, load all your purchased apps/music/etc.. Authorize the computer, Sync the Iphone and YAY!!!! It works!!!!
    Thanks all for the 411!!

    Hello, ktmichaels. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I am not sure what stage of syncing you are experiencing this issue.  However, it sounds like you may be experiencing this issue when syncing photos.  If that is the case try the steps in the article below.

  • Will not finish syncing with IPhone

    IPhone has 4.1 and just updated to ITunes 10.0.1 yesterday. It appears to be trying to sync, but it is will not go past step 1, Backing Up. I can still move around in ITunes, but it will lock up if I try to quit or stop syncing. It has been trying to sync for about 2 hours so far.

  • The newest version of iTunes begins downloading but will not finish and install.

    I have just purchased a new MacBook Pro, and the App Store lists iTunes 12.1 as an update to be downloaded and installed.  I have tried multiple times but it will not install and continues to show up as an update.  Is anyone else having this problem?  If not, what do you suggest I do to solve the problem.  All the other updated downloaded and installed with no problem.

    That is not possible, as iTunes 12.1 has not been released yet.
    The current version of iTunes is 12.0.1.

  • I just updated iTunes and now it will not re-sync my music back onto my iPhone.

    I just updated my iTunes. I went back to re-sync all my music back onto my iPhone 4 and it says, "Waiting for changes to be applied". What does this mean & how to i get my music back onto my iPhone?

    Perhaps give one of the following documents a try:

  • Having purchase iTunes Match, it will not finish syncing; won't complete process. SOS

    I bought iTunes Match and haven't been able to complete the syncing process over several days. It will go thru the steps 1, then 2 and stalls on 3 (uploading art work and remaining songs.) I have had several serious problems over the past couple of years, twice having lost my musical Playlists. I've had to reconfigure them & neither time are they the exact same -- this means, from my conbination of internet buys & manual downloads, there are years of different kinds of files. Any help offered will be appreciated.

  • Created sideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes and now it will not finish when I try to burn it.

    Using Yosemite 10.10.1
    Created a slideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes then created a DVD in iDVD and it plays in Quicktime in my MacBook Pro.
    What I'm trying to do is create a DVD that will play in a DVD Player on a TV Screen.
    When I try to burn to a DVD it is slow and then freezes in the final phase of burning. However, when I check the DVD nothing has burned. The disc is empty.
    Any ideas?

    Here's how to create a video DVD from a slideshow in iPhoto:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.5 and later select 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Downloading a tv episode causes iTunes to wait and will not finish download

    I purchased the complete season 1 & 2 of Game of Thrones which came with a digital download.  I have downloaded all but one episode of season 1 and all but one episode of season 2 BECAUSE the download for both goes into a perpetual wait condition.  Both downloads have stalled at 1.8 mB of 2.22 gB and 2.18 gB.  Any suggested fixes?  I am running Mavericks and i tunes 11.1.3.

    I have done all of these things multiple times, at least twice before I opened the Help Desk Ticket.  No change after doing the process.
    This was a reply to an earlier "Help Desk" person
    Yousuff,
    I followed your instructions to no success. The exact same two episodes refuse to download, with the exact same conditions I reported. I do IT for a NASA contractor so I understand the support process companies use & getting through the beginning troubleshooting process for remote users, so let's move on.
    1) I don't see the issue as related to downloads being enabled or marked finished 38 other items successfully came down before & after my initial issue.
    2) The problem is repeatable with the exact same results.
    3) My machine has been shutdown since yesterday morning. I booted it, launched iTunes & am now in the same state as before, both episodes stuck @ 1.8 mB in the download & it will stay in this state until I restart iTunes, now matter how long I wait.
    4) My machine is running Mavericks & iTunes is 11.1.3 (8). Our internet provider is Comcast. My mini is on a wired network.
