ITunes 12.1.0.71 data corruption (TV show release date)

As many of you know, one of the many bugs in the last release of iTunes was that the "Release date" field for TV shows showed a date in 1905 and was not editable.
I just updated to version 12.1.0.71 on my Windows 7 and OS X Yosemite systems and the field is now editable. But, the dates I had set in version 11 all still seem to be lost.
To some this may not seem like a big issue but it's an issue of Apple corrupting my data. This time it's a field that isn't too big of an issue but next time it could be something worse like the actual video file!
Given how often Apple has been releasing buggy software on so many platforms I'm starting to wonder if I can trust them. Is it time for me to dump my Mac and go strictly Windows?
I've submitted this to Apple via their "Feedback" page but I have serious doubts if anyone from Apple reads the submitted feedback.
Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas if my data is actually lost or if this is yet another bug that's just not displaying my data?

  • ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later AND Your iPhone has never been backed up to this computer AND always Not Responding

    First: I get the message telling me that "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.  Reconnect or try again later."
    Second: In the Summary Tab under Backups, iTunes is telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to my computer - which is not true. It's also telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to iCloud. Again, not true. Although my backups are all missing from iTunes, I can see what I think is them in their folder: C:\Users\*your user name here*\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync.
    Third: iTunes is SLOOOOOOOOW. It takes nearly ten minutes - sometimes more - to launch, and when it does, it's constantly not responding. It seems every time I touch something it stops responding.
    Fourth: I've been searching this "help" forum for a solution, and I've seen many other references, yet the only suggestion I've seen from someone from Apple is a reference to a solution that is over 2 years old - and DOESN'T WORK for anyone I can see who's tried it!
    I've tried everything I could think of, and that others have suggested, including:
    Uninstalling and re-installing iTunes
    Ensuring I have the latest version of iTunes
    Re-setting sync history
    Renaming my Backup folder at the path above, and letting iTunes create a new one
    Running around the house whilst pulling my hair and yelling obscenities
    None helped. At all.
    Hmmm... Been a devoted Apple/iOS guy for years, but maybe it's time to switch to Android?

    I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
    I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
    Getting there.... I hope!

  • My iPhone 4S suddenly stopped synching with my Outlook after I downloaded latest updates. I get this message: iTunes unable to load provider data from Synch Services. Reconnect or try later. What to do?

    My iPhone 4 suddenly stopped synching to my Outlook 2010. This may be a result of downloading the recent iPhone and iTunes updates. I get this message: "iTunes unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try later."  Another message tells me to delete the back up data on my computer as it is corrupted. I cannot locate this back up data. What should I do?

    got that once a reboot and it was fine again

    Hello, ollieallen.
    I am unsure what operating system you are running so I am going to include articles for Windows XP and Vista, 7 and 8.  Completely uninstall all components of iTunes and then reinstall the program.

  • Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:  First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

    Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: 
    First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".  I'm not sure what this really means...
    The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
         The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC".  Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music.  I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

  • ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later.

    Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 10.4 I've been getting this dreaded message on many occasions when I try to sync my iPhone 4 or iPad 2 with my Win 7 64 bit machine. "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." What happens is that local content (music, videos etc) will sync properly to my iPhone, but other content (such as Outlook information, MobileMe stuff, etc) will not.
    I have uninstalled and completely purged all Apple data from my PC (including hidden files and folders under Common Files and in the Registry) and reinstalled iTunes. Yet after one or two syncs, the same problem resurfaces. The other weird part is that the Sync Services crap-out message will happen after I do a successful sync, leave the iPhone connected to the PC, and don't even touch the computer for several hours.
    I've actually developed a very tedious work around that seems to restore syncing if for a short time.
    - Undock/unconnect all Apple devices from the PC.
    - Close iTunes, MobileMe control panel, and Safari (if you have it).
    - Start Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and shut down iTunesHelper.exe and SyncServer.exe
    - Open up a Windows Explorer window (like My Computer) and under Tools, Folder Options, View, toggle on Show Hidden Files and toggle off Hide Protected Operating System FIles
    - In WIndows Explorer, navigate to "C:\Users\<your name>\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer". Rename the folder Sync Services to something else, like Sync Services_Old.
    - In WIndows Explorere, navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support" and double-click on AppleSyncNotifier.exe.
    - Go back to your Folder Options and turn off SHow Hidden Files and toggle on Hide Protected Operationg System Files
    Now you can start up iTunes again and connect your device. It should sync properly again (at least, until it doesn't once more).
    Does anyone at Apple have any idea about this error or a solution?

    I actually spent a fair amount of time on the phone with a senior Apple tech last week. He directed me to this topic:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US
    It's important that you go through the steps EXACTLY as described here and in the proper order. Also make sure MobileMe control panel is uninstalled (if you have it).
    Interestingly, when I went through this procedure and then reinstalled iTunes 10.4 64-bit  (didn't do MobileMe or Safari at this stage, but QT is automatically installed) everything worked perfectly. The aforementioned error messages disappeared and all is working flawlessly, as it should.
    I hope my expereince will help! Give it a try.

  • ITunes was unable to load data class information from sync services.

    I get the error message "iTunes was unable to load data class information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later" after reinstalling iTunes. I cancel the message and iTunes proceeds to sync with my iPhone 4. The phone and iTunes software are the latest releases. My PC is running Windows 8.1, which had to be reinstalled after the system crashed, requiring a total reinstall of all software.

    Doublechecking. You've tried the following document?

  • Itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services.Reconnect and try again later.

    when I open itunes I get message " itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services. reconnect or try again later "
    I am unable to sync my ipad 2 or iphone 4 through itunes. I have tried all suggested options, removing itunes and related components from control panel + verified completely uninstalled from C program files + then reinstalling latest version of itunes (version 11.3.1.2). Also tried running itunes as administrator. Also tried reset sync history in itunes  Also tried system restore on windows 7 from earlier period.Still get the same above message.
    I run 64bit windows 7. Have recently renewed my Norton Intenet Security. Everything was OK up till then. Could this have anything to do with it.

    A quick cursory browse seems to point that the problem is on Apples end since the last update of iTunes, theres loads of forum posts about it but Apple themselves arent responding as yet other then the usual "unplug, delete sync data, reconnect or completely uninstall iTunes" spiel which doesnt work so hopefully they will fix it sooner or later
