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 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 freeze PC when connecting iPhone

    Hi all,
    When I start my PC from hibernation mode and open iTunes whenever I connect my Iphone to sync it, my laptop PC freezes and the only way to make it work is, hold the power button until it shuts down and then turn the laptop on.
    This starting to happen when I installed the settings carrier update for the iPhone(not firmware 2.2.1)
    Is anyone having the same problem????

    Hey,
    Try disconnecting the other USB devices from the PC. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a USB 2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it.
    Also, try the tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    Does iTunes have the same issue in another user account?

  • ITunes freezes up when connect iPhone 6

    iTunes 11.4 freezes up in y MacBook Pro when connect iPhone 6. I need to synchronize my info. Tks

    I am running iTunes v12.1.1.14 on Windows 7 and I was experiencing the same problem. I found out that the issue started when uninstalling "iCloud". I do not want to use iCloud, but once I reinstalled it I could perfectly synchronize again. I hope this works out for some of you.

  • 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 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 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.

  • 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.

    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 freeze's when trying to sync my iPod nano (1st gen).

    Hello.
    I can't update my iPod, because iTunes freeze's when i try so. I can't restore my iPod, because no button names that is appearing. I can't update it either, so donøt know what to do. I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it didn't help.
    I've been thinking about, reinstalling iTunes, but what will happen with all the music then? I've used tons of hours on getting it on my computer, so don't want it to get lost. What will happen with the music if i reinstall?
    Thanks in advance, 0eyvind

    The music files should stay right where they are, in the music folder.
    Reinstalling iTunes will change stuff in the c:Program Files folder.
    That being said, it's always a good idea to have backups in case something goes wrong. You do have backups, right?
    Also - before every itunes upgrade, you chould also back up the library ITL file which holds all your playcounts, ratings, etc.
    I back mine up on a USB stick, or you could just put it in another folder on your hard drive.
    Article on the ITL file:

  • 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!

  • HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    "Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    iMessages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Music library database index (but not the music itself)
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
    If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
    Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.
