ITunes locking up on my 3GS but not my wifes...

Out of the blue my iPhone is locking up iTunes at home AND at work. If I disconnect the phone, iTunes becomes responsive again. Strange thing is my wifes iPhone 3GS doesn't do this?! Same computer, same plugin. I reset the phone (not the erase data etc), still nothing. Also, my daughter's Touch is working fine too. This makes me believe it's the phone and not iTunes.
Any help is greatly appreaciated!

Some folks have had success by deleting podcasts and voice memos. You might try that.
You're right, it sounds like it's the phone - or more specifically, some content on it that differs from your wife's phone.

  • I have home sharing on but can't see my library on the computers icon. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.

    I have home sharing on in iTunes but can't see my library when I use the computers icon on Apple TV. iTunes does display my purchased tunes but not my own imports.
    I can play my own tunes by selecting them on my iMAC and directing them to Apple TV. I think that I should be able to see my entire library on Apple TV shouldn't I?
    Am up-to-date with iTunes and using Mavericks OS. I am connecting to Apple TV with an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-FI and a brand new Apple TV.
    Thanks for any comments,
    Roger

    Okay, so HomeSharing is not working.  Most likely due to a network issue.
    Is the ATV and computer running iTunes actually on the same network?  Many new routers create seperate networks for the wired and wireless portions of the local network.

  • Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs. I don't want this to happen I want the I pod songs to sync with iTunes. What do I do?

    That really does not work since music is not included in the backup.  See:

  • HT204266 25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her.  I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update.  How can I get her updated?

    Try quitting the App Store:
    Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
    Try resetting:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.

    Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.  Same with the iPod.  Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

    Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
    Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

  • Computer will recognize my iphone but not my wifes

    My wife and I both have Iphone 4's that have been set up on the same computer.  Recently the computer will recognize my phone but not my wifes.  When I plug her's in, I get a double chime and that is it.  Plug mine in, get a single Chime, and Itunes opens and syncs.  I have removed Itunes and the supporting programs, including Bonjour, and reinstalled.  It did not work.  Also I took her phone to the Apple store, it recoginzed on their computer there and they installed IOS 5 for us.  Got home and still nothing.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    Hello: Thanks to all who replied or read my concern. I was able to solve the issue on my own. What I forgot to mention in the original post was that both my wife and I were attempting to use the Free App " Find My iPhone" from the App Store to set up Find My iPhone which I'm not certain if that was the source of the headache.
    At any rate, I simply deleted the app from both iPhones and set up them up in iCloud using the same AppleID account and password which is what it said all along-but I was not getting it. After doing so, both my iPhone and my wife's iPhone are listed in My Devices.
    Best Regards,

  • Why my 3gs do not have wifi hotspot

    why my 3gs do not have wifi hotspot

    If you're talking about the Personal Hotspot feature, you must be using a supported carrier who supports that feature, and you must subscribe to a data plan that includes tethering.

    Try changing the channel in use in case you're getting interference. 
    If you have WEP enabled on the Internet Sharing it'ss worth disabling it whilst troubleshooting the connectivity issues.

  • Remove photos that are on 3gs but not showing on retreival to computer

    I cannot remove photo from a 3gs iphone but the photos do not show when i try to sync on comp

    iCloud doesn't back up your music, it only allows you to redownload any music previously purchased from the iTunes for free if you need to.  Your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and can be synced back to your phone in the future if you need to.  To save space by removing music, uncheck the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on your phone and sync it.
    Your camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup, but can't be viewed separately.  They can only be accessed by restoring the entire backup to your phone if you ever need to.  Photo stream photos are only kept in your photo stream for 30 days.  After that they are removed from photo stream but not from any device that already has already received them from your photo stream.  If you want to save space by removing photos, import them to your computer and delete them from your camera roll, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • Ripped 20 CD's into iTunes, syncs with phone and iPod, but not iPad

    So, maybe sync isn't the right word. All three devices will sync, but the songs ripped from CDs only appear onmy iPhone 5 and my iPod touch, but not on the Ipad. I have recently purchased songs from iTunes, and they do appear on the iPad. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help. Oh, btw, I have the newest iPad, right before they went to the Lightning connector

  • 3rd gen nano. Lock click wheel volume control but NOT track control???

    My title basically says it all. I have a 3rd gen Nano that I want to use solely for a car and it won't be removed. Problem? The track control has to be done on the iPod itself as the car stereo won't do it, but the volume can be controlled by the car's head unit. That said I want the iPod volume to always be on max. Apparently the volume lock feature isn't what I'm looking for, nor is the hold switch. I want to lock the volume from being controlled by the scroll wheel but still be able to change tracks using the scroll wheel... without having to go into a menu or anything. The iPod will eternally be on shuffle and any track changes will just be skipping songs... and all done blindly just by touch... hence why it's driving me nuts I keep scrolling the volume down. Hope that makes some sense. I'm long-winded and wordy but not always clear. Lol

    The system won't seem to let me post this anywhere... it's saying I'm not allowed whatever that means. Exception being this community. So sorry if I pi** everyone off by listing in the wrong location.

  • Itunes slow switching tracks on mp3 but not on m4a files?

    Itunes is slow (1 minute) switching tracks on mp3 files but not on m4a files. I can't figure out why. My music files are on a network (NAS) drive. When I change tracks between m4a files, I get quick changes between songs (couple seconds). When I change songs on mp3 files, I notice the network spikes usually in 3-4 spikes over about a minute, and then the song starts. Itunes is hanging during that time. If I start a file from the local machine desktop, I see the same spikes. The computer was freshly reinstalled this week, so new itunes install. Also tried reinstalling. I have a second computer on the same network that I tried to duplicate the problem, and that computer works fine on mp3 and m4a song changes. Uses same version of Itunes 10.  Both machines are XP service pack three and a good amout of RAM and run fine with all other programs, so no virus, etc.

    I am having the exact same problem.  It's maddening.  It's happening to all of my computers (all Windows 7) and my Apple TV (using Library sharing).  My whole iTunes library is stored on a Buffalo terastation NAS drive.  It's been this way for years and I've never had a problem.  Until you mentioned it, I never noticed that is was an MP3 vs AAC thing.

  • Itunes 10.5: It starts once, but not twice....

    Hi there everybody,
    I have a question, I have myself a new gaming pc, everything works, software, hardware, no problem at all.Itunes also worked perfectly, I use itunes, because I have an i Phone and, well, I just need Itunes to sync everything.
         Now a few days back, my Itunes started acting up, all of a sudden it kept asking me for my password because it needed authorization for automatic downloads. Also, Itunes would boot only 1 time, not more, whenever I closed it up and needed it to boot up again, it wouldn't. After a reinstallation, I kept having these problems, so I deleted Itunes again, and deleted every Apple related directory from my pc, even within the hidden directories. I knew that this would maybe help, cause alot of programs these days don't delete everything, even if you tell them to;) It sort off helped, I don't have the problem with the password asking anymore, but still Itunes only boots once a  "pc startup".
    The Symptoms:
    Itunes boots once, but not for a second time.
    Itunes.exe and ItunesHelper.exe do show in the processes tab of the task manager.
    Whenever I close these processes and I try to start Itunes, Itunes freezes on my screen as a square gray space.
    Can someone please help me, cause, as sad as it sounds, I am really annoyed by having a brandnew pc, having everything work perfectlly, better than ever, and still have 1 program that doesn't work properly...Itunes.
    If you need any more detail, just ask me:)
    Thanks everyone!

    Seems like I found myself a solution with the help of some random thread I found (thank god), seems that APSdeamon, also known as ApplePush, seems to cause the prblem here. Terminate the process in the process tab, and everything works out fine again. Maybe a bit drastic, but you could also delete the .exe file and never have the problem again.

  • ITunes does only sync photo's but not music and video. Help please

    I have loaded ios5 on both my iPad and my iPhone4. For about a week, all worked fine and i restored my music, video's and photo's.  However since about a week,  music and viceo's are removed from the iPhone. That was after the change from summer- to winter-time. And iTunes does not want to sync them back to the phone.  On my iPad all is still there. I looked at my settings and the only difference between the iPad and the iPhone is that on the iPhone i see a switch for iTunes Match, but that does not work in my country yet.  When i look in the left column of iTunes i see my music marked under the musicdirectory of my iPhone,  but with a sych mark. ( the little circle).  So i can add and remove photo's,  but not music or video items.  Has anyone an idea what to do?
    By the way, all my other stuff(agenda, notes etc.) are synched thru iCloud.

    Are you viewing on 'Videos' or did you find it in your music list?
