ITunes Homesharing library never fully loads to iPhone

I had this problem with the 4th gen iPod, and now a new iPhone 5c.
An iTunes music library with 72,000 items will not sync with the phone. The connection begins, but halts at various places on the circle. It could stop at 1 o'clock, 3, and often stops dead at 6 o'clock. It never fully loads even if I wait more than an hour
In contrast, the Mac's iTunes library loads to Apple TV in 1-3 seconds.
I think the library is too large, or IOS phones don't like large Apple lossless files, which most of mine are. Four discussions with Apple support have yielded no solution.

At Apple's suggestion I created a small library and it loaded almost immediately. Apparently iPhones choke on large iTunes libraries via Homesharing.

HT4059 Books are downloading to IPad 2 but not fully loading on iPhone 4S.

Books are downloading to IPad 2 but not fully loading on iPhone 4S. Shows book cover but the download line never filled out and book remains shaded and unable to open, delete, or move. Tried un/reinstall of iBooks, reboot phone, turning on/off, syncing. Suggestions?

I contacted Apple support. He had me unsync all books from my phone through itunes and then resync all books back to phone. It work and all iBooks are now completely loaded.

Every single page I open on Firefox never fully loads.

The content loads, but the blue circle is constantly spinning on the tab of every website I open. It's not my internet connection because Firefox works on my brother's macbook, and everything else internet related works absolutely fine. Just Firefox never fully loads anything. Firefox is up to date.

Hi nicoleschaafsma-
You might want to try reading this Support article for troubleshooting websites that hang. There are a lot of suggestions on how to identify and fix the issue:

Web pages never fully load?

My web pages are extremely slow to load since yesterday and some never fully load. I see at the bottom of the page the url and then it shows the number of completed items and errors. I checked with my isp and did a speed test and everything is fine there. I tried disconnecting an external HD and dumping some upgrades I installed recently as well as shut off plug-ins and still have a problem.
I did install a new version of Safari 3.12, could that be it? Any suggestions would be greatly helpful. Thanks

Problem resolved - I d/l the wrong one Leopard instead of Tiger.

Is the only difference I can find so far. Any thoughts on that being the issue?

ITunes Store app no longer loading on iPhone 5 (using iOS 7)

I've upgraded to the new iOS 7.0.2 and everything was working fine but all of a sudden the iTunes Store app no longer loads properly. When I tap on the icon the app flickers but loads in the background. It doesn't actually open. If I double tap the "home" button, I can see the app in the background with any other app that hasn't been closed. When I tap the iTunes store app, when it's in the background, to try and open it from there, it just stays in the background. This was initially working fine when I first loaded the new OS. Has anybody experienced this? I've tried to completely shutdown the phone and restart it with no success. I've also tried re-syncing it with iTunes on my Mac with no success as well. An email to Apple over a week ago still hasn't been answered. If anybody has experienced this and can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Problem resolved. A friend suggested that I go into iTunes on my Mac and backup the phone then try and do a restore. This seems to have worked. I'll update again if this fix doesn't hold.

Why do My Playlists from iTunes on MBP Not fully load on my IPHONE

I have several playlists that are on my MBP and on my Iphone. For some reason, there is an issue syncing when connected.
The playlist name syncs over the the phone but not all the songs. For example, I have one playlist that has 89 songs. When I sync it to the IPHONE, it says succesfully synced but only 31 songs are in that playlist.
I did check and all the songs are in the both libraries (on my MBP AND Iphone) but the fully play list doesn't sync over. (89 songs on MBP and 31 on Iphone).
I also erased the lists and rebuilt them but no avail.
I did check the preferences and they are checked properly (playlists etc.). I do have room on the Iphone - there are still 2 GB on my Iphone...
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated....

Its very frustrating. I really hope someone has an answer and can help.
I am considering rebuilding my Iphone (through Itunes) but am concerned. Whenever you do that, something gets lost, etc.
I have a feeling the Apple crew knows there is a problem but won't admit it until they have it corrected with a patch. I have seen that before.

ITunes song purchase won't load on iPhone

I have purchased 2 songs from iTunes that downloaded just fine in my account however when I attempt to load them into my iPhone, I get an error message saying 'Download error. Tap to retry.' Any advice for how to fix this?

To clarify my post a bit, my iPhone 4S syncs and plays music as expected.
This issue is on my wife's iPhone 4S. iTunes says that the music is synchronized, but when she tries to play it, none of the files are on her device, only the metadata. So, the song loads and then skips to the next song, like 1 every 1/2 second - all the way to the end of the album or playlist.
I've tried rebooting her device, removing and reloading all her music and installing the latest updates, all to no avail.
I don't understand why this would be happening. Is this Apple's way of telling us that it's time to get new phones? ;-)
Seriously, our iPhone 4S's are past Apple's support window, so we're kind of on our own unless I pay $19 a pop, which, in the long run may actually be worth it, but makes me cringe to think that I'm paying for something again.
Cheers,
Keith

Mail won't fully load messages

Ever since updating to 10.4.5, I open Mail, and the circle that shows the progress gets to about 50% to 95% (differs every time) and then hangs. I let it sit for an hour, still nothing. The only way to stop it is to force quit, and sometimes that takes a minute or two. My modem light is blinking like it's transferring data from the 'net, but Mail never fully loads the messages. I can see the headers, but clicking on them gives me the spinning beach ball and Mail says 'Loading Message' in the preview box.
Thanks.

Does this happen with all messages or only specific messages.
It sounds like that this might be an HTML email and Mail is trying to download images from a remote site. Perhaps the remote site is down or a certain image within the email is linked wrong and Mail is trying to download an image that isn't there.
That's a big problem with HTML emails. Try viewing plain text emails and see if you get the same result.

Web Page Compatability...Photos don't fully load

Greetings from The Great Smoky Mts.
We're grasping at straws now....not sure if this is the spot to solve our problem but any help will be appreciated.
OK, after 5 years on WebTV, we decided to go to a computer....
We chose iMac G5 so it wouldn't be outdated by the time we learned to use it.....
We had no hardrive with WebTV and therefore used a site which was created to help Webbies create web pages....they back up all the files every week....
In our file manager there, we store all the photos that link to the website we created.
Since getting our Mac, we have been unable to view fully loaded images which have more than 29kb's.....
The administrator at wtv-zone.com was patient but in the end suggested we had an ISP problem....we posted in the iMac Discussion and several people went to view our site and said the pages of photos loaded fully.
OK, we figured it wasn't an Apple problem.
So, we changed from NetZero to ArcZip as an ISP.....no difference.
We downloaded Foxfire...no success....
At this point, we are totally baffled/Help is needed....Please
We thought about downloading IE to see if that would help but before we make that decision, we need some input from someone who understands our problem....Could it be something with our computer in particular?
Could it be the way The Zone is presenting it's pages to the ISP?
Here's a link to our site: http://www wtv-zone.com/wendrick/signs.html
We also have problems with all the other sites hosted at wtv-zone but no problems anywhere else.....With our dial-up connection, sometimes images with high kb's take a little while to load but only at The Zone do they fail to load fully.
Anyone know anything about what our problem is and more importantly....a solution?
Should we download IE?....We still have our WebTV and it's on the same phone line as our Mac and it still fully loads the photos....
Oh, here's another interesting tidbit...when we go to our file manager and view a photo, it comes up immediately (like it's already loaded).... we can refresh the page and more of it will show but if it's 30kb's or above it never fully loads....
This is getting frustrating....
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Regards, Wendrick

We finally found the right? combination to work around our problem.....By using Firefox as a browser, we went to the photos that were over 29kb's and even though they refused to fully load...when we reloaded the page, they finished loading....still not perfect but at least we were able to drag them to our desktop and insert them in an album....We then switched back to Safari using the same ISP and couldn't get them to load...So, it appears to be a problem with our Safari....Obviously, this is the wrong Discussion to get help with that.

ITunes Store does not fully appear on screen

The iTunes store does not fully "load" on screen. It takes 2-3 minutes for just a few images to appear and then it stops. Everything else about iTunes is functioning completley well as are all of my other internet connections/processes. This problem has existed for around one month and we have upgraded to iTunes 9. Please help !

Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

TS1503 After an update on my iPhone 4, (I updated using my MacBook Pro) I first received the message, iTunes was not able to load all of iTunes library back on your phone, not enough free space on your phone. (not an exact quote, essentially the same mean

The complete iTunes library was already on my iPhone 4. Why would it all not go back on? It left out around 4 or 5 songs from my play list. How do I get them back on my iPhone?
Note: All software on both devices is up to date.
Then, I tried to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I got the message, cannot sync your iPhone because there is not enough free space in the iTunes library (not exact quote, but same meaning).
I researched how to get more free space on my phone which might 'supposedly' alleviate the above issues. I removed some less used apps, and some photos and videos from my phone. Then, I tried backing up again. I still got the message there wasn't enough free space on my phone, and the missing songs from the iTunes library were not returned to my phone. I gave another try at syncing my iPhone. I still got the same message that the phone couldn't be synced because there wasn't enough free space in the iTunes library.
Any suggestions on how to remedy these problems will be appreciated!
BTW... I read a suggestion on the internet to restore my phone (I did this recently when something went wrong during a phone update and the whole process went 'hey-wire', shutting down before the update was complete. However, at that time, all of my songs and apps were still on my phone and stored in the iTunes library.) If I restore my iPhone now, will the apps and songs no longer on my phone be lost?
Sorry there are so many questions within the same 'New Discussion' thread I'm starting! But, I think all of these issues are somehow related.
Thanks!

I Have fumbled all day to this resolved, I'll run the battery down and see what happens afterwards. This is not good !

"The iphone is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTune's library?" error message.

I have an iPhone 3GS and have never added any music to the device as I had an iPod. The iPhone and iPod are hooked up to the same computer and same iTunes account. My iPod recently broke and now I am trying to add some of my music to the iPhone but I get a message that says: The iphone is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTune's library?
I have never had the iPhone hooked up to another iTunes account. I don't want to accept and say yes and lose all the info on my iPhone.
Any tips or recomme

I'm having the same problem after upgrading my iPhone 3Gs to iOS 5 (and upgrading iTunes to 10.5). I noticed after doing this the ring tone I was using for incoming calls was no longer on the phone. Before the upgrade I was syncing ringtones with iTunes without problems. My contacts and apps still still sync as before, but when I try to enable syncing for ring tones in iTunes, I get the message reported at the beginning of this thread. Any risk of losing anything if I go ahead and enable ring tone syncing? The message is definitely misleading.
