ITunes 11 crashes when syncing iPhone

     I just installed iTunes 11 and it crashes every time I try to sync my iPhone 4S.  As soon as it tries to update an app on the iPhone it crashes.  Any ideas?

Try restarting your Mac and your iPhone.
If that doesn't do it, try to narrow it down a little.
What is syncing to the iPhone when iTunes crashes?
Do you see the problem when you deselect some of syncing options, or just deselect the one that is shown at the top of iTunes when you sync?
If it's a podcast, video or audio track, did you get it from the iTunes Store?

  • ITunes on PC does not crash when syncing IPhones but crashes halfway through IPad sync

    Itunes and Ipad on latest software iterations.
    When syncing IPhones all perform faultlessly. When I try to sync. my IPad ITunes crashes halfway through the process.
    For the last two weeks I have not been able to remove downloaded TV programmes via ITunes and have had to perform the removal via
    <Settings>General>Usage>Manage storage. One audiobook is not visible on ITunes and cannot be deleted by any method I have tried.
    I am storing all media on a WDCloud drive as I have over 1.3 TBytes of films, TV Programmes and audiobooks.
    I have tried repairing both ITunes and Quicktime to no avail.
    IOS8.1.2
    Itunes

    Hi Brendan
    Thanks for the reply.
    I noticed that the sync crashed at the point where it was downloading either Apps or Video (TV Progs). I tried a 'delete all media' reset yesterday. Problem still present and then I had no media or Apps other than some of the Apps as supplied on initial startup.
    Today I tried a different USB to Lightning lead and at one point I thought it was working with Wi-Fi sync but whilst it didn't crash, the Icons of the Apps that were present on the IPad before the problem occurred are in the same place as before but greyed out and the Apps obviously have not been loaded.
    Funnily enough I did a factory re-set just before you sent this so will post again if this works to help others. I believe this is going to be an IOS 8 problem like so many other IOS 8 problems I have found.
    Best wishes

  • ITunes 12 crashes when syncing apps with iPhone 4

    Does anyone know the solution to this issue, I know it has been around for ages and I can not find anywhere anyone who has resolved this.
    When I try to sync my iPhone 4 apps with iTunes 12, iTunes crashes and leaves ghost icons on my phone. This did not happen on the previous version of iTunes. If I make the app versions identical in iTunes and the iPhone it will go through the rest of the sync process,eg adding songs ect. I have tried all the normal fault finding stuff like reinstalling and factory resetting phone with no joy. Can someone from Apple please confirm this is a known issue and if it is likely to be addressed?
    Thanks in advance

    I thought that would be the response when a iPhone model is not supported any more, thanks Apple

  • ITunes crashes when syncing iPhone 5c

    I have updated my windows 7 pc, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 12.1.1 and still it crashes when I try to sync my phone, but my iPad and iPod sync perfectly fine.
    Help me!! lol

    Greetings internetpixie,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that iTunes on your computer is becoming unresponsive when your iPhone is connected. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over and working through the steps in the attached article.

  • ITunes Crashes When Syncing iPhone or iPod

    I am running iTunes 8.0.2 and I am having problems syncing both my iPhone and iPod to my Mac via iTunes. When I connect either device and start the sync process iTunes will crash to the desktop and then ask me if I would like to relaunch it. There are no error codes of any kind but it does give me the option to report the incident to Apple (which I have done twice now). I've tried restarting the Mac, I've tried rebooting both the iPhone and the iPod but every time I connect either one and initiate sync, iTunes crashes to the desktop. I am not experiencing any other anomalies in iTunes and everything seems to work fine between iTunes and my Apple TV including syncing. Anyone else seeing this behavior - it just started today out of the blue. Is there a way I can reset iTunes without losing my music library? Also, when I synced the iPhone to iTunes and it crashed I discovered later that iTunes has lost two of my paid applications out of iTunes and deleted them off the phone as well. As best as I can tell they are gone. What the heck is going on here?

    This is probably the same issue as this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1885983&tstart=0
    Itunes 8.0.2 crashes during sync to iPhone or iPod with the EXCBADACCESS exception. The problem does not affect Apple TV syncing.
    No word from apple yet, but it seems to be a widespread problem.

  • Itunes crashing when syncing iphone 4s

    Initially sync went o.k a few days ago, put some songs and apps on it, have been using for a few days and decided to synch the rest of my music library.
    now when connecting my iphone 4s to my pc and starting up itunes, the auto-synch hangs on step 2 "backing up device", trying to cancel, eject the iphone or alter the synch settings causes itunes to crash and lockup completely, no changes to anything since i initially synched it with my pc ( and the phone itself has worked flawlessly since).
    attempting to backup only and the device gets the bar to about 50% before the same happens, itunes locks up completely, the phone still has the spinning synch icon.

    I can now state that i have fixed the issue!
    What i did was a complete reboot of EVERYTHING :
    1) Uninstalled iTunes
    2) Reset iphone via the iphone settings menu
    3) Deleted ALL backup/caches of the iphone settings manually by navigating the apple folder in C Documents.(location varies depending on your OS but if you're having problems backing up, this seems to be a common cause of problems)
    4) Reinstalled latest version of iTunes, reset phone and updated to 4.01
    now works without a hitch, i can only assume that it hiccuped once during synch and then became "stuck" from that point onwards

    I ran Repair Permissions on my MBP hard drive and this corrected the problem.  My iPhone now syncs perfectly with iTunes. I was about to, at the suggestion of Apple Support, remove iTunes and reinstall the program.  But I thought I would try the old "standby" Apple cure (Repair Permissions) first.  And it worked!! Hope this helps others with similar problems. 
    And, oh, BTW, if your iPhone 3GS battery dies, try charging it up with the AC adapter firstI think this whole problem started when I plugged in my dead iPhone into my MBP with iTunes running and iTunes, and/or the Mac didn't like it.  FYI.

  • ITunes crashes when syncing iPhone 4

    Im on windows 7, have itunes 10.5.3.3 version and now im trying to sync my iphone 4 to get my music and everything else, but everytime I try to sync my phone, itunes crashes. I didn't have this problem before, but after I upgraded it won't let me sync. I have tried removing the .plist files, uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling, but I keep on getting the same error. I will really appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance

    Just started crashing on me too! I just updated an iPhone 3Gs that I was converting to an iPod, since I now use a 4s. iTunes crashed during the phone reboot phase during the final stage of the software/hardware update. Now, I can launch iTunes, but as soon as I click on the iPhone icon, iTunes immediately crashes. It initially opened a "send crash report to Apple" dialog, but now it doesn't. I tried the same thing with my 4s and it crashes immediately as well. I have deleted all iTunes prefs with no improvement. I have the latest version of iTunes (just updated it a couple of days ago).  I see several "iTunes crashes on sync" threads on these forums, but none with many responses and I've found no solutions so far. What a pain.

  • Crash when syncing iphone

    Itunes used to work fine, but now crashes everytime I plug my iphone in.  It gets partway through the sync, then quits with no error message.  If I stop the syncying, itunes is fine.  If i then select my iphone in the lefthand column, iTunes crashes. 
    My iphone is set to wirelessly sync, but how the #%$& am I supposed to affect any change if itunes won't allow me to change any syncing settings.
    Really, if it is wireless, it needs to be configured from the phone, not itunes...

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • ITunes freezes up when syncing IPhone during "transfer" of apps to library

    Updated version of ITunes to upgrade software version. After it finished, it said to restart computer...which I did. After restarting, Itunes would launch but it keeps syncing the phone with my Itunes acct. It syncs the mail, contacts and it asks to transfer apps purchased on my Iphone to my library. It said that if I don't transfer, the apps would be deleted..so I click on Transfer. But everytime, it freezes up. The phone still showing sync in progress but it does not do anything in ITunes. I've left it for a couple of hours and restarted the process several times...still does the same thing. The software version has not been upgraded on the phone. How do I get past the syncing process? I even tried not transferring the apps but it still continues on with the syncing and freezes up again.

    I've had exactly the same problem. 16GB 3GS, newest OS X and iOS4. Syncing creates a never-ending lock on my entire computer system--iTunes appears to be attempting to sync the first song but it never completes. I've even left it overnight for 6 or 7 hours. This is ridiculous. Fix this, Apple.

  • ITunes crashes when syncing iPhone

    Hello anyone who can help
    I have been trying to sync my 3G iphone to itunes on my Macbook and everytime it tries to sync music or photos iTunes crashes. I have managed to get my calender and contacts across fine as well as apps. Anyone have any solutions or have you had this problem?
    I am running the most current updates of all software (Mac OS 10.5.4. and iTunes 7.7.1). It's also doing this on my iMac...
    Please help!
    Carla

    I am having similar problems except that my iphone is also crashed. I have reset it and all I get is the grey apple of death. I can't restore the phone because it crashes iTunes when I plug it in. If I restart ITunes, it hangs. I tried restarting the computer (iMac and the phone).
    I am also using os x 10.5.4 and itunes 7.7.1.
    Looks like I have a brick for a phone. Guess I will take it to the apple store.

  • ITunes error message when syncing iPhone 5 w/MacBook Pro

    I have been syncing my iPhone 5 (32GB) with my MacBook Pro for 2.5 years and still had about 2-3GB empty (I know, should allow more free space).  Suddenly, having added nothing except maybe a couple new events in Calendar, I'm getting an iTunes message when I try to sync saying that it cannot sync as there isn't enough memory -- with a note in parentheses that an additional 13+GB are needed).  I thought I'd seen this addressed here before, but in searching for an answer, I wasn't able to pull anything up.
    I have shut down my computer and rebooted several times, but doesn't change anything.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem, except I used to have 12 GB of music on my iPhone that is now gone, and the same disc space now says "Other", but there is no music on the iPod. I've tried the 5 R's, is it a glitch? I didn't have this problem until I updated yesterday. Everytime I sync, it tells me there is not enough space to download the music. What is the "Other" category? I can't find any info on it at all. Also, I am NOT a computer guru, I'm a nurse, so be gentle!

  • Itunes 10 crashes when syncing music to 160gm ipod classic

    O.K. I can see that people are having the same problem as me when using an iphone / ipod touch, but, is anyone having problems with a 160gb classic? The files are being converted down to 128kps, they have to be otherwise i would need 3 of them just to get my music on.
    Can i just reinstall itunes 9 to solve my problem?
    Thanks, Mike

    Quit iTunes. Go to User Name>Library>Preferences. Delete the file name "com.apple.iTunes.plist". Restart iTunes and it will act like it's the first time you open it. See if the crashes still occur.

  • Itunes always crash during sync iphone 5

    Hi, im recently updating+restoring my iphone 5 to 6.1.4
    after i update, i try to sync all of my files with Itunes 11.0.0(music,photos,apps,)
    but when im trying to sync, its freeze on determining track to sync
    after that i try to restart my computer and my iphone but same, its freeze again
    so i decided to update  my itunes to 11.0.4
    and its still not working
    please help me thank you!

    Hi vapormercury!
    The first step I would try to fix this issue is to re-create your iTunes library to isolate the information contained in that and see if that helps you to sync. An article that can walk you through that process can be found here:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    If the issue persists after attempting that, you will want to try to uninstall iTunes, the download it and install it again from the Apple website. An article about how to uninstall programs can be found here:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph11356
    And this is the link for downloading iTunes again:

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • ITunes locks up When syncing iPhone

    iPhone has been working fine for about 5 days since I got it. All of a sudden it now cannot sync to iTunes. It begins the process, then locks up iTunes. I can still use the iPhone, but cannot complete a sync.
    Any ideas?
    TIA

    The first step is to restart your PC and reset your iPhone (hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until the Apple logo appears).
    Open iTunes on your PC.
    Once you phone is fully restarted (back to the home screen), go ahead and connect it to your computer. Be sure to connect it to a USB 2.0 port directly on the computer, not on a hub or keyboard.
    If that doesn't work, let us know and we'll go through some more steps you can take.
