Itunes freezes up when my iphone or ipad is connected and charging for an extended time like charging over night.

Itunes freezes up when ipad or iphone is connected via USB for an extended time like charging over night or even several hours. I am running all current software with all updates on a Macbook Pro. When I hit Eject I get the spinning beachball and have to hit command-option-escape to get out of it or the beachball will stay present forever. Any suggestions?

Looks like new firmware upgrade solved this issue.

  • 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.

  • When will iPhone support PPPoE internet connections?

    When will iPhone support PPPoE internet connections? Numerous Internet providers still use PPPoE internet over DHCP data. However, iphone does not support PPPoE.

    PPPoE is irrelevant to the iPhone; it is a protocol between the ISP and the first point of presence on premises, which today is almost always a wired or wireless router. PPPoE would only be meaningful if there was a way to connect the phone directly to the incoming Internet connection. As there is no way to do this physically it would be pointless.

  • IPad 3 Syncing and Charging Issue...

    Hi I just recently bought a new ipad (3rd gen) in a local apple store,,, an now I try to sync it on my PC via itunes and I noticed that in the batter indicator it says "Not Charging" even though I hooked it up on a USB 2.0 port,,, why is that? I have an iPhone 4s but everytime i connect it to my pC it automatically charge why is that my iPad is not charging????

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • ITunes Won't Open With iPhone or iPad

    I do want iTunes to launch when my iPhone and iPad are connected.  That option is checked in the summery under devices.  But iTunes won't launch.  Don't know if this is aniPhone/iPad problem or iTunes. Any help most welcome.

    you have to connect your phone, then it's in the summary of your phone, not in itunes preferences. uncheck the 'open itunes automatically' then recheck it. of course you might have to manually launch itunes first if you are having the problem of it not launching automatically.
    edit to say i just realized that i responded to you that your solution to go to itunes preferences worked for me, now i just realized that the above way is different. sorry. but the way i said does work.

  • I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab.  Everything else seems to work okay in itunes.  I have uninstalled it and reloaded it 4 or 5 times, but still freezes up.

    I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone.  Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay.  The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps.  The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up.  I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added.  If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it.  I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there.  I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems.  HELP.

    You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
    Have a nice day!

  • ITunes freezes (SWOD) when iPOD is connected

    Since the latest iTunes upgrade to 7.7.1, iTunes freezes (SWOD) when my iPOD is connected. Worse, if one clicks on iTunes to make it the foreground application, the entire system becomes frozen and only powering off/on with the power button gets the system back (unless one forgets to disconnect the iPOD in which case one is back where one started).
    This is an old iPOD that uses a firewire connection. Given how difficult it is completely crash a *nix-based system, I suspect a hardware interrupt is behind this but who knows? Searching the knowledge base and forums hasn't lead to any solution.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    You mean a clean install or system restore of Windows Vista?
    Wow -- I hope it doesn't take something that extreme...
    (And again: gawd I hate Windows!)
    Any other suggestions of things to try/look at before resorting to that?
    Also -- when I go to Device Manager, there are no issues at all in the USB controllers list -- and in fact my iPod isn't listed there at all. However, in the "Portable Devices" section , my iPod is listed there -- and the properties says that the driver is provided by Microsoft (not Apple) and is dated 6/21/2006 and is version 6.0.6001.18000

  • When I plug in my iPhone it makes the noise and charges, but wont bring it up in iTunes. It brings up my iPhone in a file under my computer

    When i plug in my Iphone it makes the noise and charges, but wont bring it up in itunes. Instead it brings up my iphone in a file under my documents... Any help..??

    Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album.  These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer.  If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
    If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

    I am get this message on my Ipad and have followed the instructions, connect the Ipad, lock the screen and connected to a Wi-Fi connection - however I have done this but I still get the message on the screen.  It will not even let me press 'OK' - the screen is not responsive... I cannot access the OS.  Help

    Reset your iPad to clear that condition:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • ITunes freezes up when I select movies in my Library. I am using a MacBook Pro and have the latest upgrades on software. Thanks for any advice.

    iTunes freezes up when I select movies in my Library. I just downloaded a few new movies and now I cannot scroll to where they are without a freeze up. I have restarted numerous times, and have not opened any other programs while trying to access my list of movies. Any suggestions? Thanks....

    Restart your computer and lauch the Activity Monitor application.  That will show you all the programs running on your computer along with how much RAM and CPU time each application is using.  Next, launch iTunes and see how many resources it is taking up.  Is it hogging all the available RAM and/or CPU cycles?  It could be that you don't have enough free RAM or CPU cycles.  If you're running close to 100% before you get to the movies, it could be they are pushing you over the top.  The Activity Monitor application can show you if that's the case.  If so, then try to select Movies and see if your iTunes application starts trying to use up even more resources.  If so, try a RAM upgrade and/or a faster processor.  These are just suggestions, of course, but I hope they help.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1689 Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
    Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON.  If so turn it off.
