Itunes freezes when Iphone 4 (IOS 5) is connected

Hey,
I have got a problem, my itunes is working as long as my iphone is not connected (store, music everything available), but if i connect my iphone itunes is freezing immediatley.
I connected my iphone to another PC and it works so it is not the iphone.
I have uninstalled itunes and deleted every file, installed it again updated it but it still does not work.
I have got VISTA Premium home (32 bit system).
Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem ?

computer does not get recognized it.

ITunes 10.7(21) freezes when iPhone 4 (iOS 6) plugged in

Hello,
Since the latest iTunes update to 10.7, I can no longer plug in my iPhone, iPod without iTunes freezing. iTunes stops responding, and the only way to get out of it is to force quit.
This occurs accross two 21" iMacs, one running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and one running Lion. All iDevices are up to date. iPhone 4 running iOS 6. It's an older iPod shuffle, but it worked and sync'd just fine up until the latest iTunes update.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Itunes freezes when iphone connected

when i launch itunes without connecting my iphone it works fine. when i connect any iphone, itunes freezes. can anyone help?

I have an Imac and a G3 IPhone and I have the same problem. When I plug in the IPhone, the IPhoto comes up and works and the ITunes will open but then all I get in ITunes is the spinning ball of death. I think it started happening right after I updated the IPhone to the latest version.
Can anyone help

ITunes freezes when iPhone plugged in

So I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice, reset the iPhone settings and whenever I plug the phone in, iTunes freezes. The phone charges and appears in iPhoto, but no dice with iTunes. My iPod shows up fine. I haven't installed anything new on the computer (haven't installed much of anything beyond Microsoft Office) and I have a Mac, so I don't think it's a USB driver issue (or if it is, I can't solve it based on other Windows discussions on this topic). Anyone have ideas? I guess I could go back to iTunes 8.2 as someone mentioned this helped, but would really like to get it solves...

I had the exact same problem and after following apple support's recommendation to re-install itunes (which did not work), I simply deleted the last few podcasts I had downloaded straight to my iphone and this resolved the problem. Thanks for saving me the time of having to call apple support/go to genius bar.

ITunes freezing when iPhone plugged into USB

I've had my iPhone since September 08 and never had any problems syncing. Today when I plugged in my (90% charged) iPhone into my computer after adding some music to iTunes the program froze. At first it started to sync but asked if I wanted to update something. Not sure exactly what it was, some type of setting. I said yes and it downloaded whatever that was and did not sync after that. I unplugged the iPhone and replugged it to start the sync. The phone is charging so the USB port is working. I tried restarting the computer and the iPhone, repairing iTunes, different USB ports, and nothing is working. iTunes will function normally until the iPhone is plugged in. Then it freezes.
I at least have a working phone, but I'd really really like to sync.

SWEET RELIEF! i've been having this same problem and its nearly been the death of me (and/or my macbook and/or iphone). the second i connect my iphone to USB, itunes immediately just goes unresponsive/hangs. i've been staring at that freaking swirling rainbow for days. i've gone over every single how-to/troubleshooting/etc. topic in apple support, and gotten exactly nowhere.
but then i found your post, deleted my podcasts, and it was like magic - iphone/itunes sync up and running like clockwork.
my sanity thanks you... TO EVERYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME PROB - THIS WORKS!!! JUST DELETE WHATEVER PODCASTS/APPS YOU DOWNLOADED FROM YOUR IPHONE, AND PROBLEM SOLVED.
LadyNigelia you're my hero.

ITunes freezing when iPhone plugged in. Windows 7.

Is this a known issue?
Every time I plug in my iPhone when iTunes is open it'll lock up 90% of the time and I'll have to keep unplugging it and re-plugging it back in to work.
Also, when I try to open iTunes when the iPhone is already connected, iTunes will either refuse to open (despite it running in the process list) or it'll open after a while but the iPhone wont be recognized.
This has only started happening since I've upgraded to Windows 7.
Is this a known issue with the OS or is it something my end?
I'm using iTunes Version: 9.0.0.70 and iPhone OS 3.1.
Thanks in advance.

Do you get any syncing message on iTunes at all? or in the windows taskbar? i found that the first time i synced after upgrading to 8.1 the first sync time was extremely long looked like it was doing nothing then verified then backed up then synced. Look for any activity at all on the PC. Also check to make sure that windows hasn't popped up a messagebox in the background somewhere as this will stall evetrything as well till you pick the Allow/Deny or Ok/Cancel option

Iphone 4 froze, will not respond to menu/hold button power off, itunes freezes when iphone plugged in. what to do?

I've toggled it, I've held the menu and the hold button down for nearly 2 minutes, I've tried plugging it in to my iTunes, and the iTunes will freeze up and become unresponsive
Please Help!!

It will sooner or later turn off, after it turns off (Running out of Battery) charge it until the battery is full, then turn it back on. All should be fine after that.
Plus, keep trying to hard reset it (Hold the lock button and home button, ignore the slider and wait for the apple logo to appear),
Good luck!

ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Jeremy,
Thank You for the reply but my issue was not in the attachment you sent.
iTunes freezes when I attempt to add music to my ipod classic especially playlists I have made.
iTunes recognizes my ipod but when I "add" that when the issue starts.
I have my large library on a pc using windows 7. I have no issue adding music to my device on
my macbook pro but like I said, my 60,000 song plus library is on my pc.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
Happy Holidays,

Since new MacBook Pro: iTunes freeze during iPhone sync

Hello
I know that there are already a lot of discussions going on about these but nothing works for me.
MacBook Pro mid 2012:
MacOS 10.8.5 ---> new clean install
iTunes 11.1.1 ---> new clean install
iPhone 3Gs:
iOS 6.1.3 ---> new clean install
The problem:
The problem started after a clean Mountain Lion install on a new MacBook Pro.
Updated all applications an system.
Copied iTunes folder to new MacBook Pro.
Connected iPhone to sync with new MacBook Pro.
And ...
iTunes freeze during iPhone sync for the first time in many years whitout problems.
Some apps in iPhone are partly installed because of freeze.
When i delete them they appear again during next sync and then iTunes freezes again.
What i already have tried:
# Clean iOS install --> again and again
# Recover from older back-up --> again and again
# New user
# New iTunes install
# Delete iTunes preferences and cache
# Delete all apps
# Reset permissions on the user in repair center
# select: "Prevent ..., iPhones, ... from syncing automatically"
---> but when i connect the iPhone it start syncing automatically???
# and so on, and so on
All the rest is working like a beauty!
Please help, getting down and losing al lot of time.
Regards

It have taken me all day but it's solved!
During last sync on old MacBook Pro the new version of the iBook app was only synced partly.
That's why, when i was trying to sync on my new MacBook Pro, iTunes was freezing during sync.
Once i have synced my iPhone on the old MacBook Pro again, and iBook app was synced complete, this problem was fixed.
Regards

My Itunes freezes when I plug in my ipod and wont verify or sync

My Itunes freezes every time I try to plug in my ipod classic. It wont verify my ipod so it can't sync or update it. I have to shut down and restart my computer to get it to function at all. I have had my ipod for awhile and have had no problems with it and my Iphone connects and syncs just fine. My Itunes is up dated with the latest version and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have reset my ipod multiple times. I can't even restore my ipod because it freezes so fast I cant get the restore started. Someone PLEASE HELP!!
