ITunes 11 (Win7) freezes when syncing iPhone 4S / Ipad2

After installing iTunes 11 I can no longer sync my iPhone 4S or iPad 2 via either wifi or with the sync cable. Syncing was balky after the iOS6 rollout under the last version of iTunes 10, and it never worked over wifi (again, only after upgrading to iOS6), but at least I could get a cable sync to work about 60% of the time. I was hoping and praying that this issue would be fixed with the new iTunes, but sadly the situation has gone from bad to catastrophic. iTunes still fails to recognize or sync my devices over wifi, and now when I try doing a cable sync it appears that iTunes will recognize the device and attempt to start a sync, but I've never made it past step 2 before iTunes completely hangs, at which point I can only force it to shut down through the task manager. Of course it doesn't help that iTunes 11 is woefully sluggish on my two-year-old quad-core computer with 6GB RAM. That's even after restarting the system and launching iTunes with no other programs running. APPLE: you seem to be in a very self-destructive mode these days. But I digress...
If anybody has an idea of how I can make my iPad and iPhone sync again I will be very appreciative.

I have the same problem. I cannot sync or apply any settings to my iPhone in iTunes after upgrading to iTunes 11. It just freezes/hangs. I also found that since the upgrade to iOS 6 that the sync is problematic.
The only fix I have seen on-line is to completly wipe the iPhone and do a restore. That is insane.

ITunes and computer freezes when syncing

My iPod and iTunes work fine separately, but when I sync my iPod, it'll sync a couple songs/photos/videos and then suddenly freeze which freezes my entire task bar. I use windows vista and itunes 7.6.1 and I haven't had this problem before.. What's the deal?

I have this exact same problem and cannot figure out a solution to it. It has happened twice to me.
First time it happened was around Christmas. All of a sudden, I could not sync the iPod any more as my system froze when attempting to do so. iPod and iTunes worked fine apart. I dug through the whole system and could never get it to work. The only thing that I could do was to move everything to a different box. I lost all of my history in doing that, though.
Now, in the past couple of days, the same issue has started again on the 2nd box. I've reinstalled iTunes, I've started everything with a base config (only required system services running), I've tried old iTunes libraries...nothing works, it still syncs for a bit and then everything freezes. I enabled disk use and then ran a disk check on the iPod. It found some errors and corrected them. I guess I could erase the iPode to factory standards and then try syncing again, but I did this when the issue occurred the first time and it didn't solve the problem.
Any insight anyone can give into this issue would be greatly appreciated.

IPod classic freezes when syncing with iTunes

This is a complicated story involving my two brothers, a traded ipod, and sadness - here goes...
Brother "A" had an iPod, which was traded to brother "B". Brother "A" was on windows, brother "B" was on a mac. The ipod would not sync with the mac, even after being reformatted and restored with latest software of both itunes and ipod. When syncing it gets to song 25 and stops. Every time, no matter the song.
Here is what I have tried:
• All software updated
• Ipod was reformatted and restored
• iTunes library was rebuilt - all unauthorized songs and duplicates removed (my brothers library was a mess)
After all this it still freezes when it is copying song 25. The ipod was working fine (so brother "A" claims) when syncing with the windows machine. Any suggestions?

ITunes keeps shutting down when I open it up. The message says iTunes has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is found.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

You can move the buttons about, and add/remove buttons. For details on how to do this see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

Maybe this will help:

As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

Why does my outlook keep creating modgroups when syncing with ipad?

Why does my outlook 2007 keep creating modgroups when syncing with my ipad 2. If also takes very long for the two to sync.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

ITunes Freezes when Syncing on Windows 7 SP1

iTunes seems to freeze imediatly when plugging in my iPhone 4, and will unfreeze soon as I unplug it. This started happening soon as I upgraded to SP1 on Windows 7.
There seem to be many many threads on this and most eventually come to the conclusion that iTunes is not fully compatible with Windows 7 SP1. Calling tech support just told me that it wasnt a known issue.
Ive tested this on 2 seperate systems with 2 seperate fresh installs of Windows 7.
With a Fresh install of Windows 7 and iTunes, synching works.
Install SP1, synching still works for the most part
Install any of these AV's: Microsoft Security Essentials, Nod32 (v4 or 5) or Kaspersky and Syncing is broken. (Trend Micro Titanium worked)
If you uninstall SP1 everything works fine, and compatibility mode fixes it for the most part too. Too many top AV's including Microsofts own are effected by this that it is not a conflict/fault on their part. Some people dont seem to need the AV part of the equation to run into this issue.
Many other reports are listed in the following thread and ones in the "More Like This" section to the right of it. Other AV's causing conflicts since SP1 are listed too.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2762816?start=0&tstart=0
The Freezing apon connection of an iPhone (then unfreezing iTunes soon as its removed) has been something that would happen to me very rarley (like once a month, if that) since my 3gs, but now it happens every time. It seems SP1 adgitated that already existing bug in iTunes.
Anyone using Windows 7 SP1 and iTunes with an iPhone or iPod Touch with or without issue? (Standard iPods seem to not be effected) What AV (if any) are you using?

Have you tried iTunes 10.4.1.10? That seems to have fixed it for me when nothing else did. (Of course, I can't be sure that was what fixed it. I just noticed that one day the problem had gone away when nothing else worked, and it seemed to coincide with the upgrade to 10.4.1.)
And it is too a known issue. Sigh. I worked with support on this over the course of a couple of months, sent them logs, spent hours on the phone, etc. I know the engineers knew about it. Whether they ever figured out the cause is another matter.
