  • ITunes freezing when trying to sync iPhone 5.

    I'm at my tethers end.
    Last month I had my iPhone replaced at an Apple store, as the battery on my old phone was draining unusually fast (100% to 0% in 2 hours on standby with nothing open). This replaced iPhone has been slightly tempermental, but I have tried to ignore these little glitches (brightness jumping randomly from 100% to the lowest setting for no reason etc (it's not on auto).
    The biggest problem I'm having it trying to sync my phone with iTunes. It will not sync my music, often freezing at particular songs, meaning I would have to restart my entire computer for it to work again. Deleting these songs would work for it to continue syncing, but no sooner would it find another song it did not like, which would play on any other media software and had no problems whatsoever with my old phone. It then decided to start freezing on 'downloading safari safe data', so I took steps for it to stop doing that (advanced on safari etc). Now it keeps freezing on step 5 of 5; waiting for changes to be applied. Frankly I'm absolutely SICK of this, as I'd like to get some music on my phone at some time, and now I can't even make any alterations to my phone.
    I've tried..
    *Restoring my iPhone ( which went awfully because my backup dissapeared, meaning I had to restore with a months old backup. I triple checked that my backup had worked but when it came to needing it *poof*.
    * Checking Winsock providers.
    * Converting back to older versions of iTunes.   
    * Restarting my computer a million and one times.
    * Deleting 'problem' songs, but now I can't even reach that stage of syncing.
    PLEASE HELP. I'm so frustrated with this. I've always been a loyal customer to Apple but frankly I get sick of always having problems. There's not been one apple phone which has not stopped working within warranty and needed a replacement. When we're paying this much for a phone we expect it to actually WORK.

    This problem is quite common, but I have not been able to figure out what causes it. My best bet is that it's a USB issue, and I have found a workaround that makes synchronising possible when all else fails. For the record, I have tried all of the potential solutions on these forums without lasting success. Here's what worked for me.
    (Windows 7 32bit, iPhone 4S, iTunes 10.6.1.7)
    First of all, make sure you have a good wi-fi signal in the region of the PC you are syncing with. Then -
    1) Start iTunes.
    2) Connect phone via USB.
    3) Left click on phone in iTunes.
    4) On the Summary page check "Sync with this phone over Wi Fi"
    5) On the phone go to Settings>General>iTunes wi-fi sync
    6) Tap on Sync now.
    The phone should sync via wi-fi, even though it is connected via USB. It didn't seem any slower to me than syncing via the cable, and more importantly it worked, and the backup went smoothly. I've tried it several times now with no problems.
    Also, if you have a lot of apps you need to synchronise or you are re-arranging the app windows using iTunes you can sync in the normal way from the PC if you do it immediately after the wi-fi sync, because iTunes does not run the backup again. It probably won't run two backups within a few minutes of one another.
    It's all a bit of a fiddle, and Apple/MS needs to get a fix for it, but if this method works for you at least you have a good backup should you flush your phone down the toilet!
    Good luck!

    Itunes freezes after upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 on connecting iPhone 5.
    I tried it with a differnt Iphone and the results are the same. Any suggestions?

    Hi JZN1994,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that after updating your computer to 10.9.3 iTunes stops responding when an iPhone is connected to it. There may be few different steps you will need to go through to get this resolved. I suggest working through the steps in the attached article.

  • Updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

    updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

    Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
    Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

  • TS1424 I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone to iOS 7.

    Hi there, could someone help me here please - I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7. The problem occurred about 5 days later after the upgrade. There are no error messages. As I tap on the icon it opens just for a fraction of a moment and then goes off and back to the main screen. Other apps are working just fine. I tried following the troubleshooting steps as suggested by apple support, but that didn't help unfortunately...
    Thank you

  • Itunes freezes after I plug in my 4.3 updated Iphone.

    I updated itunes to the most recent version and then updated my iphone4 to version 4.3. Everything seemed to have finished and worked ok until I went to try and sync my iphone again. I open itunes and it works fine but as soon as I plug in my iphone itunes frezes and my iphone never shows up. As soon as I unplug the phone itunes works fine again. Same with the iphone, as soon as its not connected everything works fine but when I connect it itunes freezes and in task manager it says that itunes is not responding. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Here is the actual solution.  This was making me crazy too.
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.0.2)
    Plug your USB cable into your computer.
    Turn your iPhone off by holding the power button down until you see “slide to power off”. Do as instructed.
    Now press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to your iPhone. After iPhone is connected it should power on the device.
    Continue holding the Home button, you will see the Apple logo appear and then finally a “Connect to iTunes” will be displayed, now is the time to release the Home button. You will then see the following image:
    After this DO NOT RESTORE YOUR DEVICE!!
    Unplug your device and turn it off holding the power button only.
    Now start your device again, it will start up like normal.
    Now plug it back into your computer.
    Itunes should see it as normal and not freeze anymore.
    Good Luck!

  • Itunes freezes after attaching iphone

    Hello,
    Everytime i attach my iPhone to the computer, iTunes freezes. It stops either on step 2 or 3, where it's trying to sync the music or preparing the iPhone to synchronise. I've already tried reinstalling iTunes, and updated all my apps on my iPhone. I've also tried cancelling the synchronising process, when i do that and go to the 'iPhone' screen on iTunes it still freezes. My iTunes is all up to date. Turning off and on my iPhone and computer didn't work either. My iphone is not jailbroken and my computer is running on windows 7 64 bit. What can i do?

    Hello Danielkok93,
    Thank you for all the information you provided!  iTunes crashing every time you try to sync would definitely get frustrating.  I found a few articles that might help with your issue. 
    I would start with this article just to verify everything is working on the iTunes side of things.  It sounds like you've already done steps 1 and 5, so you can skip those:
    iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    If you're still not able to sync after that, you might want to try backing up and restoring your iPhone:
    iOS: How to back up
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    You might also need to turn off the automatic syncing to be able to get to this point:
    To prevent unprompted syncing for all iPod, iPhone, and iPad devices:
    In iTunes, choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click Devices.
    Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”
    If this checkbox is selected, any connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad won’t sync without being prompted.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Itunes freezing when trying to sync

    Anyone run into itunes freezing when syncing and then an error message popping up saying "Cannot sync ipod. An unkown error occured." Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling itunes 9. And still same problem.

    Same for a friend of mine who's at his wits end. Here's what he writes:
    When I connect the iPhone to my USB outlet (I am running Windows XP), Photoshop Downloader launches immediately. After the photos are downloaded, I find that iTunes has completely frozen. It doesn't respond to any mouse clicks and I have to do control-alt-click to close it down. This happens whether iTunes was running before I connected the iPhone or not. I think the problem is the iPhone, since my iPod still syncs normally with iTunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I have turned the computer on and off. I have reset all settings on the iPhone. I have in fact tried every suggestion on the Apple site.

  • ITunes freezes after 30 seconds

    No matter what I do on my computer, my iTunes automatically freezes after 30 seconds of opening. How can I fix this? Because I can't even buy music or sync my iPod.

    Hi if not now,
    In order to see your device in iTunes you may just need to select the option to have the Sidebar shown, something that by default is not displayed. This is where Devices and other items are displayed that you may be trying to locate.

  • Why does my iTunes freezes while trying to sync my iPod Touch?

    When I try to sync my 2nd Gen. iPod Touch, it freezes partly. It froze when a pop up from iTunes saying it's 'Adding Files' and below it, it says 'Processing: 20100314211421.m4a'. I'm pretty sure I know that I didn't download this file. And when I try to search it by the whole number '20100314211421' my computer couldn't locate it. BUT if I search in the first couple numbers like '2010' it shows a bunch of them and it's mostly [ MyDocuments / My Music / iTunes/ iTunes Music ] folder so I'm guessing it's from iTunes. After figuring that out, I uninstall iTunes 3 times and it still wouldn't sync!
    + When it froze, I could still listen to music although it doesn't play the next track.
    ++ Also, my iPod is the 4.0 version
    + And when I check my iPod ... nothing changes...
    Please help! It's been bothering me for days now.

    Hello All,
    I recommend call Apple: 1800 MY APPLE
    Have them document the issue in the system, and provide a resolution if one is available. If there is none they will work it until they find one.
    This "may" fix the issue:
