Itunes and Iphone 3gs syncing issues

I have tried to sync my Iphone 3gs (3.1.3) and Itunes (9.1.1.11) a couple of times. It has been about 2 1/2 hours into each sync and it appears to get stuck, or atleast very slow, not even a 1/3 of the way. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

You could do that, or just completely reset your phone and re-sync everything. You may have a corrupted file somewhere that is causing the back-up to take so long. When I had the problem, it went away when I deleted the news reader apps. I think the apps where causing the problem because I could read the news articles offline, so they were being cached and all that content was being backed up every time as well. If you have any app like that where you can use it without a cell signal, it could be that.

ITunes and iPhone 4 sync issues with Windows 7 64 bit

I am getting several errors with sync'ing iTunes to my iPhone on windows7 64bit. I reinstalled iTunes, I did a repair on iTunes, even tried a RESTORE on iPhone, but it gives me so many errors one after another after another.
1. Some of the items were NOT copied to iPhone "iPhone" because one ore more errors occured.
2. Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. An internal device error occured.
3. The iPhone "iPhone" can NOT be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
4. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. The required file can not be found.
5. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. A duplicate filename was specified.
6. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. An internal device error occured.
These errors keep appearing one after the other.
I have fully uninstalled iTunes and ALL Apple programs from my PC, rebooted, disabled antivirus/firewall software, etc.
I have tried changing time zones.
I have created a new user account on same laptop and still have same issues with iTunes.
Restore fails with error "Unable to read file or file is corrupt".
Yet iTunes works fine on a 32bit operating system of Windows 7.
The problem is that I upgraded my laptop and the new laptop is Win7 64bit. I have ALL the newest drivers, and I checked to ensure it was not a BIOS or CHIPSET driver causing issues. All windows updates are up to date and current.
I have been trying for over a week with every piece of trouble shooting I can find to make this work.
Any help or further information would be VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks in Advance

I too am having the exact same issues on the same laptop! I spent an hour last night with "supervisor" in tech support who didn't solve my problem but did close the ticket (210757099 for any Apple people that might read this). Thanks a lot Ben!
I have seven ipod/iphone/ipad devices so I am very familiar with how to sync. In the last few weeks, version 10.2 of iTunes (I'm up to 10.2.1.1) has gotten less and less reliable in successfully sync'ing to the devices. It started out with my 3GS, but my iPhone 4 was fine. Then I got an iPad2 and now NOTHING will sync properly. Every time I plug one in (or press the sync button) it wants to do a restore from the backup made the last time it sync'd. It does that, reboots the device and sync's.
I've gotten a ton of errors, here's a sample.
iBooks couldn't be installed on my iPhone unknown error 0xE800000C
Textie couldn't be installed on my iPhone, unknown error 0xE8000013
"failed required file not found" - This is one of my favorite error messages. It demonstrates how Apple is becoming like Microsoft. It is 100% accurate and totally useless. It would be helpful if it told me the NAME of the file that was not found...
unknown error 0xE8004006
"duplicate file found" - Again, in true Microsoft form, it didn't tell me the NAME of the file that was duplicated.
I tried everything discussed in the following thread but it did not work.

Stopping the enhanced USB controller didn't work. Mine is the Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller (version 9.1.1.1020).
A few days ago I got hundreds of errors in a sync. When it completed, a dialogbox came up asking if I wanted to send this crash report to Apple, I said yes. So, crash reports are now automatically being sent. You can see evidence of this in the %appdata%\Apple Computer\Logs directory.
This section of the log looked interesting because it says it couldn't connect to USB mux port 32498

Just grasping at straws here....

After updating iTunes and iPhone 3gs AppleMobileDeviceService.exe has been taking over 50% of my CPU. When i attempt to sync my iPhone iTunes hanges on backing up.

Thanks wjosten. I've now been through all this, and there was a lot of old 3d party phone stuff to remove.
However, I have not progressed really. Any other thoughts on this please?

New mac, iTunes and iPhone ipad sync

I have an iphone which i used to sync with my old imac, i have recently bought a macbook pro and it seems there is no way to sync my iphone with my new computer without deleting everything on the phone.
Also there is no way to put audiobooks on my ipad which is synced with my new mac book without deleting all music and movies. this makes absolutely no sesnse to me what so ever
I click sync audio books - Are you sure you want to sync audiobooks? All existing songs, movies and TV shows on the iPad “iPad” will be removed.

Ipad and iphone will sync with one aqnd only one comptuer at a time. Syncing to a new computer will indeed erase the contents from the device.
Just copy the entire itunes folder form the old comptuer to the new one.

IPhone 3GS syncing issues.

Are there any known incompatabilities between iPhone IOS 4.3.5 and iTunes 10.5.2.11? Even after a restore, the sync is stuck near the beginning. This prevents any updates to IOS 5 on an iPhone 3GS.

You could do that, or just completely reset your phone and re-sync everything. You may have a corrupted file somewhere that is causing the back-up to take so long. When I had the problem, it went away when I deleted the news reader apps.

Slow Transfer Rate Between iTunes and iPhone 3GS

Hi,
My iTunes recently failed to recognise my iPhone 3GS and suggested a restore followed by a back up.
I followed the steps and after a short while it started to transfer from iTunes library back onto my iPhone. However, the rate of song transfer appears to be very slow. 3,000 songs in 10 hours, there is still 1,800 to go.
Is there anything I can check to speed to process up, I don't remember it being this slow when I first got the iPhone?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem with very slow transfer and it's even more mystifying.
I got a 3GS a while ago and always very impressed by its transfer rates (300mb video file syncs in about 30 seconds). My partner also got a 3GS last week, but I noticed when setting it up that it was very slow (did some tests - the same 300mb file takes about 6 minutes to transfer). Since I was syncing to the same itunes library, on the same computer, using the same cables, I assumed it was something wrong with the new phone. Tried restore couple of times but no change, so I took it to the local genius bar who checked it, couldn't find anything wrong with it and swapped it out.
The only thing they suggested that I hadn't tried was reinstall iTunes - never occurred to me as my original phone still syncs at normal speed. So I've now reinstalled iTunes, (having deleted the new phone's backups) plugged in the new phone and asked it to sync using my original (fast phone) back up, but it still runs at the slow transfer rate even though this is a new phone! Tried restore again and still no change.
This is very frustrating. My original phone still syncs very fast. Getting the phone swapped means that it is unlikely to be a hardware fault with the new phone but it seems no matter what I do (delete the new phone's backups, sync to my normal phone's backup, install as a new phone, reinstall itunes) it still transfers at about 1/12 the speed of my original.
I'm completely stumped and would welcome any suggestions as to what I could try next.

Outlook and iPhone Calendar Sync Issue

I’m having an issue where any meeting on my Outlook calendar that is after 3AM and spans multiple days (i.e meeting is from Sunday 4AM to Monday 6PM) it actually shows up on my phone as being Monday-Tuesday instead of Sunday-Monday.
Has anyone else seen this?

We have had this same issue on the older through to the latest os. I dont know whether the issue is the iphone diary or outlook.
We have 2 phones syncing to one outlook account. If I put in an all day event on my iphone when it syncs to outlook it spans 2 days and then when synced back to the phone it honors this, so suddenly I have no idea which day the event is on.

New Hard Drive and iTunes and iPhone 3Gs

My hard drive crash and I just replaced it. I installed a new hard drive and have just installed iTunes. Okay, I will admit it - I did not back up the iTunes (actually I tried, but it didn't work). Okay, so I have restored the Windows Vista software. I installed iTunes and am now trying to sync. iTunes is "saying" that my iPhone is sync to a different library and that everything on my iPhone will be replaced by what is on my laptop, including my pictures.
Am I out of luck? Can anyone provide advice for all these pictures and apps and music I have purchased?

Yes, It will erase the content and replace with content from the new hard drive. This is one of many reasons to always maintain a backup (not just try to backup once failure is certain).
You can transfer itunes purchases: Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You can e-mail your pics to yourself - they will not be of the original quality as the are re-sized for viewing on iphone. Another reason to always maintain a backup.
Unlike music, you can re-download apps:

ITunes and iPad 4 sync issues

After I have watched and deleted a video, if I do so on my iPhone or iPod touch when I sync then the blue circle disappears showing the video has been watched.
However, on my new iPad 4, when I have watched and deleted a video, when I sync with iTunes the blue circle doesn't disappear and the video is still showing as un-watched.
Any ideas ?
I am running Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes and iOS on the iPad.

Exchange 2010 and iphone calendar sync issues

Hey,
I know this question has been asked plenty of times before and just need a straight resolution. We have just migrated our environment to Exchange 2010 and the major issue is that when an event is created in Outlook 2011 it is not always showing up on their iphone and also vis versa. Is their a resolution to this problem so I can implement it in an emergency change. Thank you for all your help!

Here let me explain the scenario again any user who logs in to exchange from outlook working fine password not expired and he has iphone active sync working no issues , now while all devices are working when he starts his ipad after a week or so when he
opens his email on ipad it prompts the password on ipad and same time on iPhone , he does not want to enter the password and wants a technical justification , I told the user something to do with Exchange 2010 sp2 and ios 7 ,but that is invalid justification
. if you have any other valid justification please let me know. or a solution to this issue. user wants to login without any password prompt while the password is saved in device and not expired , is there any feature in Exchange 2010 sp2 that would recognize
how many days device has not logged it and would force to enter the password.

But my note (Sony vaio 4GB w7 64 bit) don't sync or do a new backup, always crash or the message making backup still for ever. I use avg free edition(anti-virus), and zone alarm (firewall). Can anywone help me?

Probably the music collection is corrupted on your iPhone (in that case you should see a lot of memory used for "other" on the bottom of the iTunes window.
Check the settings in iTunes; Reset the iPhone: Hold Home and Sleep/Wake button at the same time, ignore the shutdown slider, keep holding until you see the white Apple Logo (you do not loose any data); Sync again.

Itunes - AIR Iphone application - Sync issue

I created a test AIR application using iphone packager. I followed all the steps descriped in the developer guide
to build the application.
When I sync the application with my iPhone it shows the error :
The application "xxxxx" was not installed on the iphone "xxxx" because the entitlements are not
valid.
I tried deleting all the certificates/provision files and created new ones. Still, I get the
same error.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Arun.

Looks like the issue is in specifying the app-id. I removed the bundle id from the app id in the configuration
file. It installed without any issue

New PC, new itunes, and iphone. Having issues with pairing/authorization/library transfer

Hello all,
I recently got a new PC. Before unplugging the old one, I deauthorized it from itunes. I immediately authorized the new computer. I also have cloud syncing on (for all the good it's doing me)
(HATE the new itunes btw - I find the user interface SUPER confusing and none of the itunes articles use the new version for reference).
Anyway, I must have messed up the initial sync or something. For some reason it's recognizes all of my apps, and happily adding anything I download from the phone back onto the computer - but everything else is a mess. I had to recreate my podcast subscriptions (no biggie) but it won't let me sync my music library back and forth (nor my audio books). It only seems to want to let me erase my music library on the phone with the mostly empty one on the computer. It's not recognizing the playlists from my phone at all on the PC, and today I bought some new songs on the PC and it won't let me add them to those playlists.
I even tried "transferring" back....but it's still not letting me access playlists and music libary
Any suggestions would be MOST appreciated. I'm not particularly interested in losing my entire music library that's on my phone. If I had to lose anything I guess I'd prefer to lose the songs I bought today on the PC.

Copy your whole iTunes folder from the old computer to the same location on the new one. It is trying to erase the phone because the phone is synced to the library on the old computer and does not recognize the one on the new computer. You can transfer purchases from a phone to a computer but otherwise file transfer is one direction, computer to phone.

IPad 2 and iPhone 3GS syncing

When I send emails from my iPad they show up as being sent twice in my iPhone sent folder. How do I fix this?
Also, when I delete emails from either my iPad or iPhone they don't delete from the other device. Why aren't they syncing?

You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
If that doesn;t work, deelete the email account from the phone and create it again.
