ITunes freezes on exit and does not sync photos to Apple TV 2

Is anyone experiencing the following problem: as of recently i have to use Ctrl-Alt-Del every time to exit from iTunes as the software always freezes on exit? Also, around the same time it no longer syncs my pictures to my Apple TV2.
Any suggestions how I can fix this? I've re-installed iTunes from scratch several times.

I am only running Windows 7 Firewall.
Okay ... let's try making sure that iTunes is listed as an exception in your firewall, as per:
[How to enable iTunes in the Windows Vista and Windows 7 Firewall|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2553]
While in there, make sure also that BonJour is being allowed full access to your network.
If they are already both listed there, try removing the current exception and then replace them with new exceptions.
(Sometimes, especially after an update of the software in question, firewall rules can "go off," so we're just trying to make sure that that hasn't happened to you.)

Have same problem with iPod touch 5, iPhone 5, iPhone 6 plus and iPod mini 2. all with os 8.1.3

Hello, have you made sure that you're signed into iTunes and given authorization for your iphone 4 to sync with your computer? The same thing happened to me when I recently installed iTunes 10.5 after formatting my computer.

My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes. When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work.

My iTouch will not show movies, but they are showing on my iTunes. When I try and play them through my iTunes it freezes on me and does not work. This problem only occurs whenever I am using my netbook. It doesn't happen when I use a different computer. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and am not sure what else to do from here.

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

Hey sebasac,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes on a Mac. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue by starting iTunes in safe mode:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
If the above does not resolve your issue, I’d like to isolate further by testing in another user account:
Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
Symptoms
When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
Resolution
The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
Thanks,

I am installing itunes to a laptop and have not sync device to this lap. It is saying that it must first restore device. The problem is I have over 2000 pictures and don't want to lose them. Now my phone is in restore mode and I don't know what to do. I don't want to proceed and loose these very important photos of family. What do I do to get it out of restore mode? My phone will not allow me to do anything to it at this point. I have the itunes downloaded on the laptop now. When I push the button for the phone it just shows Itunes and plug. I can't even call or open phone up.

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.

You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

My itunes has locked up and does not want to open. I have tried re downloading and repairing twice. Suggestions?

I had a very similar problem. Eventually I figured out it was related to Quicktime. I installed the latest Quicktime and Itunes suddenly worked.
I had tried installing, repairing, removing, reinstalling, etc of both Itunes 11 and 10.7.

Iphone does not sync photos

iphone does not sync photos from photo library when plugged into imac. also with new itunes there is no way to see status of iphone updates.

open itunes, click the icon at the top left. then go to view - view sidebar.

My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement. That is not necessarily true. Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is. They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

Apple TV appears on iTUNES then disappears and does not sync w/XP computer

Computer: Dell, windows XP SP2 with all current updates (Windows firewall off, but acceptions made for appropriate ports anyway!)
Router: Brand new Dlink WBR-2310 (using DSL)
iTUNES: version 7.1.1.5
Apple TV network connection: CAT6 cable (no wireless)
Scenario:
Apple TV obtains an ip address, I can view movie trailors on my DLP TV and I can successfully ping the ATV from my XP computer. Once I turn off zone alarm, and try to sync with my computer, ATV appears under iTUNES devices. I enter the password that ATV provided. iTUNES says it is confirming password. The computer thinks for ~20 seconds then ATV disappears from iTUNES. ATV now has my shared name in the sources menu, but it is grayed out and says the library is unavailable.
I have tried all trouble shooting recommendations:
ATV: Factory restored settings, unplugged ATV
iTUNES: 100% uninstall then reinstall
XP Computer, router and DSL modem: shut down, turned off, turned on. (I have done this in the exact order recommended in the forums.)
I am at my wits end and feel I have exhausted all possibilities.
Does anyone have advice?
I was soooo hopeful of ATV, but I am very discouraged. :-/
Thanks, Mathew

I'm having the same problem (synching works fine but streaming is disabled) except I'm using an AirPort Extreme router (802.11n). I was on the phone w/ support for 2 hours and the only thing that we came up with that worked was to disable/re-enable synching. This has the unfortunate side effect of blowing away the ATV hard disk. I only did this the one time (which re-enabled my PC in sources), but now it is disabled again. Since I was able to temporarily "correct" the problem by resynching, I'm thinking it is a ATV 1.0 sorta bug. I was hoping that this last ATV update would have fixed the problem but it didn't. Maybe I should try re-synching now that I have the update.

Itunes 11 for 64bit Win7 does not sync iPodTouch properly

Installed ITunes11 for 64 bit Win7 yesterday (8Dec12). The update seemed to go well altho I saw some odd behavior and do NOT like the changes that have been made to the interface at all btw -- the new format for browsing the contents of the music library is awful. What I discovered later was MUCH worse and that is when I discovered that my IpodTouch 4G which I had synced after updating to iTunes did not contain ANY of my videos and a mere fraction of my music and no playlists whatsoever. I did manage to get my videos back on by playing the game of checking "don't sync my videos" -- syncing (which ostensibly removed that which was already not there) -- rechecked "sync my videos" -- and then synced -- which DID restore them. I tried various strategems to get iTunes to copy over my entire music library .. managed to get part of it restored .. but no matter what I did .. not all of it. It seems to be stuck on a few tracks that it thinks need to be copied and ignores everything else altho it DOES recognized the existence of the rest of my music library. It just won't restore it to my Ipod .. after it so rudely .. IMHO .. removed them. This applies not just to music but playlists as well. There is something seriously wrong with this major 11.x update. One thing I'm considering doing .. after I return from a week long business trip (where I am no) is to trick ITunes into doing what it needs to do by removing all my music from the iTunes library (not the files -- just the index) -- sync to the iPod -- restore all the music to the iTunes library -- and sync again. THAT -- or Apple produces a big fix to Itunes11.
Based on what I've seen elsewhere in the Forum .. my despair and disgust with iTunes11 is shared by others. Hopefully, Apple tracks these forums given that there seems to be NO true mechanism for getting technical support with iTunes, except in association with an Apple device like iPod, iPodTouch etc.
Btw -- given the hideous experience with the iTunes11 update on my home machine, I will NOT permit the Itunes11 update on my office laptop -- I'll uninstall it if need be..

by the way -- wouldn't mind if people read the post I gave the link to and to confirm whether the issue really IS that the library index got corrupted during the upgrade to 11. If that's NOT it, I don't want to waste what could be hours executing my plan: remove all music and videos from library, sync IpodTouch4G with no music, restore music to library, restore playlists using iPodClassic that has NOT been synced to iTunes11 as reference, and then resync iPodTouch4G. Appreciate feedback. Thanks!
I think you are hoping to use an iPod Classic that has not been synced with iTunes 11 to restore the playlists? Frankly that sounds like it could fail (I hope I am wrong). iTunes is very picky about what will sync, in my experience (on a Mac) it doesn't want to bring playlists from devices that haven't ever been synced to that library before.
If you had synced the iPod Classic before the iTunes 11 update it may work, but I wouldn't rely on that to get all your playlists back into the desktop iTunes. You would be better off using the built in 'File > Library > Export library' feature to create a Library.xml file that contains the playlists as they exist in iTunes (I have no idea if this is the same on Windows or iTunes 11, it should still exist). You can do the same for each of the 'Movies', 'TV Shows', 'Podcasts'… sections if you are worried about keeping them intact.
It also sounds like you are contemplating deleting your files from iTunes on the PC, syncing the iPod Touch, replacing the iTunes media files & then resyncing? That also seems like overkill. You should just be able to wipe the iPod Touch & restore the files you want on there by re-syncing from the device backup (or avoiding the backup & starting afresh). The 'restore' feature of iTunes will erase & reset the device back to a clean state. If the device still fails to sync everything you know that the iTunes library is likely to be the problem.
iTunes should also allow you to create a new library (in a location you specify).
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
It would make sense to create a clean library, import the Library.xml & see if that syncs correctly. You can switch back to the old library to compare if the files & playlists have been imported.
I'd suggest making a full system backup before you start to change things, and maybe contact a genius bar if you have one near. I really don't know enough about iTunes on Windows, there must also be other threads about how to recover from syncing issues on Windows.
The general rule is if the device isn't syncing correctly reset it to a clean state & start over, then move onto 'fixing' the library.
iTunes keeps backups of the library between updates, so you can revert to an older version of the library (but obviously files may have moved so the links for some tracks may be broken).

IPhoto 9.4.2 and iPhone OSX 6.0.1 does not sync photos selected

With the latest upgrade to OSX 6.0.1 my sync deleted all of the photos from my iPhone and it no longer syncs any of the selected albums or events from iPhoto. I have all of the latest versions of all software installed for all of my applications.
I've tried unchecking the "Sync Photos from (iPhoto)" and many other options, and then switching them on again, yet there are no photos synced to the iPhone. I am experiencing this issue with the latest OSX installation. Any suggestions on how to get my photos back on my iPhone?

I am genuinely outraged at this point. I cannot sync my photos with either of my wife's and my two new iPhones (or old ones), or my Apple TV. Neither can my parents watch their photos from iPhoto on their new Apple TV (and I would presume their photo syncing to their iPhones is not working, although that hasn't been checked.
Ferenc, I'm with you - bugs happen, but significant bugs NEED to be fixed in a timely fashion, and this particular bug spans (and destroys) core functionality across many expensive Apple products.
Apple doesn't acknowledge bugs before they're fixed, but I know this one has been reported, so the only answer is fix it ASAP, or I'm going to find myself unable to justify buying anything within the Apple ecosystem again. It all works together, my foot - *none* of it works together, and nobody at the company who took my money seems to care.

TS3697 iTunes 10.7 does not sync photos to iPod, iPad, iPhone

It used to be so easy to select albums in iTunes to sync to my other devices, but it no longer works. I've wiped out the iPod cache, done a fresh download of iTunes 7, and all I've managed to do is wipe all my previous albums off my iPhone. How can I get iPhoto 11 v9.4 albums into iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (all running OS6) from my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion? I get nothing but error messages saying that iTunes no longer syncs photos with devices.

This was a bug that Apple fixed with their updated iPhoto version 9.4.1 which just became available a day or two ago.
