Itunes 11.1.4 freezes when syncing with iphone

Itunes 11.1.4 Periodically freezes when not syncing. always freezes when starting to sync Iphone or ipad. sometimes gets far enough to see Message: "ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later" Trying again later does not help. This did not happen with previous version of Itunes (for years)

Hello Zach,
It sounds like you are getting this error message when connecting your phone after a recent update. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get a resolution:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with the first steps to test iTunes in Safe Mode, and if needed, there is additional troubleshooting therein.
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!

IPhoto immediately freezes when synced with iPhone.

When I open iPhoto and sync my iPhone 4 to my Mac, the program freezes immediately. I have updated both phone, computer, and iPhoto to all the current versions. This problem has occured every single time I've tried to sync the two for the past 3 months. It does not crash, it just freezes, and I have to force quit the program.

Hi,
I have just switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S. I have the same iTunes and Apple ID on both the iPhones (the other one is used by my wife) but I created different iCloud ID for both the iPhones. When I synced the new iPhone 4S with my laptop, I found that my calender events on my laptop dissappeared.
This never happened with iPhone 4. Can you please help to find out the reason?
Thanks
When you created a new Apple ID and logged the phones in you disconnected them from the account where your calendars etc are, use your original ID.

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.

IPod classic freezes when syncing with iTunes

This is a complicated story involving my two brothers, a traded ipod, and sadness - here goes...
Brother "A" had an iPod, which was traded to brother "B". Brother "A" was on windows, brother "B" was on a mac. The ipod would not sync with the mac, even after being reformatted and restored with latest software of both itunes and ipod. When syncing it gets to song 25 and stops. Every time, no matter the song.
Here is what I have tried:
• All software updated
• Ipod was reformatted and restored
• iTunes library was rebuilt - all unauthorized songs and duplicates removed (my brothers library was a mess)
After all this it still freezes when it is copying song 25. The ipod was working fine (so brother "A" claims) when syncing with the windows machine. Any suggestions?

ITunes 8 freezes while syncing with iPhone 3G

I am disappointed with iTunes 8 as it freezes when it is syncing with iPhone3G (2.1). I noticed that the phenomenon regularly occurs when certain music files and/or podcast files are being transferred. As a result, I cannot copy all the music/podcast files to my iPhone. This started immediately after upgrading to iTunes 8.
I wonder if this is related to Japanese OS (Windows XP, SP3) as I am aware that some other Japanese also have similar (probably identical) problems according to a discussion board on the internet.
Any suggestions and comments are welcomed.

I have an iPhone 3g 2.1 + OS x 10.5.5 and itunes 8.0.1.
While syncing:
The backup routine takes forever, but completes eventually.
Then it tries to sync applications, notably Texas "HoldEm" game. At this point iTunes is unresponsive.
To get everything going again, I have to quit iTunes, and restart the iPhone. Then I can try again, but it fails again at the same point.

No events listed when syncing with iPhone

When syncing with iTunes, events are no longer listed when choosing option s photos on the iPhone?? Why

I confirmed that I have the radio button checked that says "Sync all Contacts", but not the one that specifically shows Yahoo! Address Book. So the question remains, why does iTunes consistently prompt me to sync Yahoo! Address Book? How can I stop that from happening?

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!

Itunes freezes when syncing with ipod

My itunes is freezing when i try to sync with itunes. Manual management does not cause freezing, but automatic syncing causes it to freeze after five or fewer podcasts / songs are transferred. The ipod is brand new, and ready to use. I've tried all the normal steps, such as reinstalling software, ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response. I have installed, reinstalled the latest itunes, ran the diagnostics, looked through troubleshooting guides and forums before posting on this forum. Aside from Itunes freezing up in automatic syncing, both itunes and ipod seems to run normally.
Could this be a problem with the library or some type of miscellaneous file? Any suggestions?

ITunes 7.0.1 freezes when syncing to iPod - any thoughts?

I have a click-wheel iPod that's always synced fine with iTunes on my laptop. Upgraded to iTunes 7 to work with my girlfriends new 2nd gen Nano. Her iPod syned fine - no problems. When I connect my iPod it seems okay - and transfering Podcasts to it worked fine, but it deleted all my music from the iPod and now iTunes freezes when I try to sync the music back to it.
Any thoughts???
Thanks

ITunes gives error code -54 when sync with my iphone 5

iTunes gives error code (-54) when i try to sync with my iphone5

I am having the same issue. Since updating to iTunes 11 my iPhone 5 will no longer wirelessly sync. I am operating the latest version of Mountain Lion on a two month old Macbook Pro. When I plug in the USB I go through the steps of making sure the box is clicked to Wireslly sync, but after a few minutes of un-plugging the cord my phone dissapears from my devices. It tries to locate it, but cannot.
Furthermore, when I launched iTunes 11 for the first time my phone was synced, but since I accidenttly hit the eject button in the top right, this button has yet to come back. Even when the iPhone is linked via USB. Am I Crazy, stupid, or is this a bug?
BTW, how did MrTrav15 have this problem on 10/17 a month-and-a-half before the launching of iTunes 11?

Will iTunes-bought music be deleted when syncing with a computer?

Let's say I buy a few songs on my iPad. Will they be deleted when I sync with iTunes on my computer?

They should not be, they should be synced to the computer.
Before syncing , click File>Transfer Purchases if you want to be sure.
