ITunes Hangs With Iphone 3G connected

Hello there. Well the story goes: I drag+drop my entire music library to my new iPhone earlier in the day and when I tried to connect it again, Itunes hangs and needless to say does not ever show the Iphone although windows DOES recognize the Iphone asking me if I would like to import photos etc. upon connection. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes to try to fix the problem and to no avail.
Note: When i disconnect the Iphone from the computer, iTunes un-freezes and will show my Iphone for a split second before, of course, it goes away because it isn't connected to the computer.
Anyone have this happen to them and know the solution?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi
I'm having the same problem. At first connecting the iPhone 3G worked fine, but now it will freeze iTunes whenever connected. Looking at the processes, iTunes will be churning about 50% of the CPU usage. I have re-installed iTunes to no avail, and even done a fresh installation of Vista, where again it worked at first before starting to hang again. iTunes loads fine if I stop the Apple Mobile Device service, but then of course iTunes can't see the iPhone.
I do also think it might be related to Vista "identifying" the iPhone as a camera, causing iTunes to get confused.
Vista is 32 bit, iTunes is 7.7.0.43, iPhone is 3G. User is not a complete moron.
Anyone?

  • ITunes freezes with iPhone, when connected to network

    iTunes started to freeze with latest version (9), when iPhone is connected.
    I tryed everything from the Apple support page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1421
    The last sentence on that page is "Disconnect your computer from the Internet"
    iTunes is working well with iPhone, when network is disabled, but how I can fix it? What could be the problem?

    Hey Hoods ginest,
    Check out the following article, it'll go over how to sync your photos to your iPhone using iTunes:
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
    You'll want to read the section titled "Syncing photos to devices" and then "To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device."
    Take care,

    First, you should have continued the discussion on the original thread. Users here do not get some type of notification when you use their name, unless it is a thread they have been contributing to.
    Second, you will not get someone from Apple here, this is a user to user forum. While I cannot answer your question, I'll see if I can get Linc's attention in a forum area for senior users.

  • At the end of sync itunes hangs with message waiting for files to be transferred....iphone 4s?

    at the end of sync itunes hangs with message waiting for files to be transferred....iphone 4s?-
    and just sits there for an hour or more... sync is not finished, nothing happens... Any ideas?

    I called tech support and they had me schedule a time to walk through the problem with an apple engineer last night.
    They acknowledged that they've been getting calls about this issue but that's all they said.
    Make a long story short there was no solution. I ended up backing up all my info, contacts, notes ect. to the cloud and restoring the iPhone to the factory settings, then I synced back to the cloud but did not restore from a previous back-up just use as a new phone then manually check off the media pictures, music, movies ect.
    It's not the ideal way but it worked for me because I don't have a ton of stuff on the phone and I can even sync wirelessly now where's before I couldn't check that feature on in iTunes because it wouldn't sync.
    One thing since you can't restore from a previous back-up make sure to manually back up your camera roll or turn on photo stream to back up photos to the cloud.
    Hope this helps.

  • 'Open Itunes When This iPhone Is connected' option disabled by default

    since latest upgrade and ios 4.2.1 my itunes has
    disabled this option for my iphone 3gs, i dont have option to select or deselect
    option 'open itunes when this iphone is connected' it appears dimmed and not
    selectable through my itunes. any help?

    Yes,.. Open iTunes-Preferences-Devices- then uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". select OK. Done!

  • Can't select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" in iTunes.

    iTunes wouldn't launch when I plugged the phone into my laptop. I opened iTunes manually & the option to "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is now grayed out. How can I re-select that option?

    Yes,.. Open iTunes-Preferences-Devices- then uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". select OK. Done!

  • Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected

    So; i finaly got to update my Mac to 10.6.5. Following a update of iTunes to 10.1. A few days after i recieved my iPhone 4 and updated that one directly from the box to 4.2.1.
    The "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" are checked.
    Prefs->Devices "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads fro.." are NOT checked.
    And still iTunes don't start when i plug inn my iPhone. Anyone knows if there are there any fixes for this?

    launch *Activity Monitor* and look for a process called iTunesHelper.
    iTunesHelper or iTunes Helper, is a program from Apple that runs in the background and monitors for the connection of any iPod or iPhone to the computer
    if that process is not present, try *removing iTunes completely* (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    note this will not touch your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.

  • Iphoto does not open with itunes when my iphone is connected.

    I found an article about importing my photos from my phone that describes using iphoto to automatically import them. I cannot get iphoto to open when my iphone is connected tharefor, I can't get to the import screen or access my iphone with iphoto in any way.

    Duh!  Yes iTunes does talk to the iPhone. But it's primarily for syncing photos from iPhoto to the phone and not the other way. 
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try communicating with the iPhone again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't help try repairing disk permisisons with Disk Utility and reboot your Mac.  Lastly give Image Capture a try to see if you can manually download the photos to a folder on your Desktop and then import the folder into iPhoto. 

  • ITunes opens when iPhone is connected even if "Auto sync" is disabled?

    I use my iMac (10.9.3) at home to Sync with my iPhone (7.1.1) to keep a full backup copy. I have the setting "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" active, and up to recently this worked nicely. However, I think since the update to iTunes 11.2.x there seems to be a problem:
    - when I am not at home, I use my MBP (also 10.9.3 and iTune 11.2.2) to charge the iPhone.
    - in contrast to earlier versions of iTunes, connecting the iPhone to the MBP causes iTunes to open. It is NOT possible to sync because the iPhone is connected to the iTunes library on the iMac.
    - when I disable the iTunes option "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" on the MBP, the next time I connect the iPhone to the iMac iTunes does not open. And when I open it manually and "mount" the iPhone, the iTunes option "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" is disabled.
    Any idea to solve this problem?
    It seems that the iTunes option "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" is now stored on the iPhone?

    Meanwhile I can answer my own question :
    Go to iTunes Prefs => Devices Tab => activate "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically"
    The drawback is that if you want to charge two iPhones with an iMac and an MPB, and sync one of the iPhones with the iMac and the other with the MBP, you need to take manual action.

  • ITunes hangs when attempting to connect to Airport Express

    I searched and couldn't find anything directly relevant. Here is my problem:
    I am using a Powerbook G4 to stream audio to an Airport Express. This has worked with no major issues for almost two years on a WEP encrypted network. Yesterday I did the following:
    Update OS from 10.4.9 to 10.4.11
    Update iTunes from 7.4 to 7.5
    Change encryption to WPA
    The Airport Express light is green, and I can access its settings through Airport Admin Utility. The Airport Express is visible as an option in iTunes, and when I select it a small window pops up saying something along the lines of "Connecting to AirportName". The connection never happens, and iTunes hangs on this window indefinitely.
    Any thoughts? I did the updates so I could use my new iPod touch, and I switched to WPA because I read somewhere that it is more secure.
    Thanks for any help

    I had a similar experience and found patience to be the answer. For some reason it took 5-10 minutes for my Apple TV to get past the "Loading Mike's Media" message. In the meantime my iTunes was unresponsive. My library is not exceptionally large (about 160gb with 57 movies and 67 TV shows).
    After that initial long wait, I tried switching back and forth between Apple TV as the source and my iTunes as the source. Each subsequent reconnect to iTunes only took about 40 seconds.
    I have no idea why it takes so long. I did a little probing, and iTunes was neither using much CPU nor doing much I/O during the long wait. Quite odd.

  • Itunes freezes if iphone is connected multiple times?

    One of the many annoyances of my phone. Currently running windows vista with iso4 and the lastest version of itunes. For some reason I've found that when my computer first starts up my iphone connects to itunes fine, will sync, stay connected, everything is normal. But if I eject it and then attempt to plug it back in, itunes will freeze up and stop responding. I will then have to either close it via task manager, or unplug my iphone (as soon as phone is unplugged itunes resumes functioning normally). On the handful of occasions where I've waited out the itunes freeze, after 5-10 minutes itunes may start responding again but does not recognize my iphone and does not display it under "devices". During this time also, my iphone does not indicate that it is charging but indicates that it is connected (with the green battery showing up as my wallpaper). The only way to connect it again normally is to reboot my computer. What could be causing this?

    Here is the fix:
    1. If frozen iTunes is open and iPhone is connected, right-click the task bar and select Start Task Manager.
    2. Click on the Processes tab.
    3. Look for the process distnoted.exe *32 entry.
    4. Right-click and select End Process.
    5. iTunes will now unfreeze.
    6. Close iTunes and disconnect iPhone. Wait 15 seconds.
    7. Reconnect iPhone. iTunes will launch automaticallly like it should and your iPhone will begin to sync like it should.
    There appears to be an incompatibility issue with Apple's distnoted.exe process and maybe 64-bit OS's. All I know is that this works everytime although there doesn't appear to be a permanent fix to this issue. You may have to repeat these steps everytime you reboot your computer or update iTunes.

  • Itunes hangs every time i connect iphone3G on every computer i plug it into

    Hi all
    I am having a problem...itunes hangs literally every time i connect iphone3G on every computer i plug it into.. I use windows XP and have even just bought a brand new laptop, installed itunes and it does the same on that. It indicates to me that the lead may be faulty (tried different lead and same issue) or there's something in the phone OS that tries to start but doesn't when plugged in ...
    When i do ctrl alt del and crash out of itunes the iphone happily charges itself so its not the USB ports...oh and i have left it running for hours so it's not a time issue...
    I am at my wits end.

    I have not seen a blue screen. iTunes simply hangs, forever, until I crash it.
    I have tried on multiple different computers and it happens on all of them. ItUnes runs fine but when i try to connect it iTunes hangs. I have also tried plugging it in before and after iTunes kicks in but the result is the same.
    This of course means that I cannot update the OS or download/organise music...eeek

  • Why won't iTunes sync with Iphone 4s after upgrade?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.7.0.21, now my iPhone 4s will not sync via iCloud or my computer.  When I plug the phone in, it starts a sync session like normal but it will not complete the sync.  I get an error message that says "iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone "Scotty's" because a connection could not be established to the iPhone.  Yet, the phone shows up in iTunes.

    I'm having the same issue.  iTunes sees my iPhone 4 and I can access the contents via itunes, but the sync won't work - it starts to sync, then states, "waiting for sync to start," then after a few minutes ends up with an error, stating, "The iPhone "XXXX" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  This happens whether I try to sync with iCloud or my computer.
    I tried rebooting the iPhone, rerstarting the computer (Mac Pro with 10.8.1), switching out the cable - all to no effect.
    I downloaded iOS 6, but I didn't want to install it until I can successfully perform a backup with my computer - just in canse iOS 6 install fails.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • ITunes error with iPhone

    Hello! I had activated my iPhone, and everything works great, except one thing. Whenever I connect my iPhone to my computer, I get an error message from iTunes saying:
    We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A secure network connection could not be established. Make sure SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 is enabled in the Internet Options control panel, then try again.
    When I get this message, I am unable to sync music or do anything with the phone. I only get a blank white screen with the word "iPhone" in the center in iTunes. I am already connected to my iTunes Store account, and I have both SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 enabled. I am not sure what the problem is. If you guys could help me in ANY way that would be great!
    Thanks so much,

    Cody,
    Couple of things for you to try here.
    Logout of itunes store, restart computer and log back into itunes store. If that does not work for you. Might want to review these articles.
