Restart your computer, launch itunes, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, connect your phone with itunes running, hit the sync button, watch the progress bar, see if it syncs or where it stops, if it stops. All podcasts are off your phone, correct?

Computer/itunes locks up when ipod connected

Itunes locks up when I connect my ipod (20G).I hear the "ding, dong" when I connect it, but Itunes does not recognize that it is connected, it freezes and I have to reboot.It charges, and the "do not disconnect" sign is constantly running.I can not upload any new music I've purchased.I tried to restore, and now it is back to the factory setting with no music.My itunes works perfectly with my shuffle.My shuffle is listed under "devices", but not my ipod.
Anyone with a solution?

I am having the exact same problem. Th eone difference is that on occasion, iTunes downloads my playlists yet not the associated songs in the playlist.

TS1363 itunes locks up when iphone is connected

itunes locks up when i plug my iphone in

This is SO freakin frustrating! Tired of iTunes locking up my ENTIRE Mac Mini when my phone is connected. I wish Apple would get it together and fix this. Otherwise I WILL move to Google Play. This is SO annoying!!!!

ITunes locking up when iPhone or iPod connected.

I have iTunes 10.3.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and everytime I connect my iPhone or iPod iTunes locks up. I've reinstalled iTunes according to the directions I found on Apples website (including deleting many of the configuration files) and the problem persists. I had thought Spotify was the problem, so I followed the directions to completely remove Spotify, but yet the problem still exists. I'm nearly to the point of reinstalling OS X, but would greatly prefer to not have to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like new firmware upgrade solved this issue.

ITunes locks up when iPhone 3G attached, unlocks when not attached

Mine worked for half the afternoon, but now I get a sick sounding beep when I plug it into the USB port, and it locks up iTunes (windows Vista 32 ultimate). Tried different USB ports, shutting down the computer, resetting the iPhone, etc., but nothing works. It doesn't lock up the Mac, and the iPhone appears in iTunes, but iTunes is unresponsive. I downloaded and installed a few apps, and moved about 5 gigs of music videos onto it, and now iTunes locks up. I deleted the apps, but that did no good.

I did some additional research and even tried a hard reset and restore from prior to when I saw the issue. That did not help.
I found one response to a similar situation that recommended clicking on phone's podcasts and waiting out the spinning beach ball. I chose to do that late in the evening, so I clicked, and went to bed. It was working and accessible in the morning. So far, so good.

Itunes wont open when iphone connected to mac, please help?!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

How to turn off iTunes auto-start when iPhone connected?

The option "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is disabled (grayed out) in iTunes 10. The grayed-out check box is unchecked, yet iTunes starts every time I plug in my iPhone 3G. I would like to be able to plug in my phone without iTunes starting. Is there a way?

Right. Un-checking the preference to prevent auto-sync re-enabled the auto-start option. Then I was able to check and un-check the auto-start option and re-check the prevent auto-sync preference. Now all seems well. Despite appearances (the un-checked option), the internal setting was in the wrong state and twiddling it seems to have set things right.
What a boneheaded user interface, where items on widely separated parts of the UI affect each other invisibly.

Itunes ''not responding'' when iphone connected

Hi
I have had an iphone 3g for 12 months and has been fine until very recently.
Whenever i connect it to itunes now it crashes itunes almost immediately. I have updated itunes but it hasnt solved it. It seems to charge the phone but just crashes itunes.as soon as i disconnect the cable itunes runs fine. however i have another iphone cable which i tried and it seemed to solve the problem but this solution only lasted about a week before the same thing occured. I have sinced purchased a new cable on the off chance and it still dosnt help?????
any advice

They sometimes get corrupted on the phone, thus can cause the problem you experienced. The suggestion to reinstall itunes was done first because we always want to try and preserve data. Since that didn't work, we start to look at potential data problems. Glad we got it worked out.
You're welcome.

ITunes not opening when iPhone connected

Hi
My iTunes used to open and start syncing immediately I connected my iPhone - now it does not.
I've made sure the 'open iTunes when this iPhone is connected' box is ticked, switched off the iPhone and restarted it, restarted my MacBook, reset the sync history, deleted podcasts, restored the iPhone - nothing works.
Is this an iPhone OS 4.1 issue?
I'm running an 3GS iPhone with 4.1, iTunes vers. 10, on a MacBook OS X 10.5.8

I'm having the same issue. There is an "iphone assistant" walk-through page I've gone through but the steps ave not seemed to work for me. I deleted and reinstalled the latest iTunes, but when I plug in... nothing. The most I get is when my iphone is off and I plug in to my mac, it will turn on. No charge.

ITunes suddenly freezes when iPhone connected

I'm running the latest MAC os X, iTunes on a power mac G5 and all of a sudden, whenever i connect the iPhone, i get the beachball and activity monitor tells me itunes is not responding. I disconnected phone and changed the setting in iTunes to NOT automatically sync when connected, but even then as soon as i plug it in, iTunes says it's "verifying" the phone...the phone says "Sync in Progress" and everything is hung... Any help would be so appreciated, I've looked in the forum and have not found this exact problem... Thanks.

I never had any postcards on the iphone, only on the ipod. Deleted all. Removed iTunes completely. Deleted library. Installed iTunes again. Works fine (well, in apple terms) till the iPhone gets connected. Then it freezes.
Another question, if anyone knows, do the garbage-makers Apple provide any direct support, or is it all through I-have-the-same-problem-too boards where one can (possibly) get any clues what the problem is?
thanks,

ITunes not Starting when iPhone connected

I just got an iPhone 3G and installed iTunes 9.0.
When I connect my iPhone to sync, iTunes does not start. I get the box:
Camera connected
Select the program to launch for this actiona
Canon CameraWindow
Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard
If I manually start iTunes, I can see my iPhone but no Music or Movie subfolders under the device. And I can't drag any music from my library to the iPhone.
Is there a conflict with my camera software or should it just work this way? I tried to uninstall all camera software but without success.
I have gotten some music on the iPhone from syncing, but not all that I want.
Thanks for the help.
Dave

Reinstall iTunes 9. If that doesn't work, restart AMDS:

Itune wont open when iphone connected.

When I plug my Iphone into the computer either Itunes wont open or if it's open it wont recognize the phone. The computer shows it's connected because it always asks when program I wont to use to look at the pictures. I have tried rebooting the computer and it doesn't help. My IPOD is recognized but not the Iphone. Help!!!

I had the same thing. Here's what fixed it for me:
I had downloaded the latest iTunes (7.3) but because my existing copy of iTunes wasn't in the base, Applications folder, it didn't overwrite my existing iTunes application. Therefore, when you go to click on iTunes in your dock, or any desktop alias, etc., it's still opening the old version. Try opening the newly downloaded version (in the base, Applications folder) and try it again. I bet ya it'll work.

ITunes Reboots Computer When IPhone Connected.

Hello
I just had to reformat my HD and reinstalled iTunes. When I connect my IPhone, my computer reboots itself and I get a message that says Windows recovered from a serious error. I'm running WinXP SP2.

i dont know if this is your problem but i had to do a selective startup when i installed my itune on my xp pro because the two were conflicting i called apple and they showed me how to fix this problem and never leave your iphone or any apple pugged in when your computer reboots it will mess up your operating system learned that the first time

ITunes automatic launch when iPhone connected

I suddenly have a new problem, and am uncertain as to what I did. When I plug my iPhone into my MacBook, in the past, iTune automatically launched and recognized my phone. Does not do that anymore.
I upgraded to Leopard. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Professor Mack

i like  wrote:
Howdy-
Make sure, on your iPhone's screen in iTunes, that "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked.
I am seeing the same thing. I have to manually launch iTunes on my Mac Pro.
i like , are you referring to the checkbox in iTunes on the Mac/PC that actually reads, "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" or a screen on the iPhone?
I have the above box checked yet iTunes still fails to open when I plug in my iPhone.
Any ideas?
