ITunes stalls when trying to update my photos - can it be fixed?

From what I've seen of 7.0, there are a lot of problems, and I've searched these posts but haven't found anything on my specific problem.
Basically, when I try to update my iPod and I have the "sync photos from folder" checked, iTunes never finished updating the iPod. It simply says "Updating iPod", but never shows a status bar, and sits like this for a long time. My iPod says "do not disconnect"
Is there any solution, besides returning to 6.0?
Update: I've gotten it to work, now, by checking the "enable disk use", then it updates, then it sets enable disk use to unchecked... I'm still confused. And the "Update iPod" button never is activated. I have to unplug it every time...
I thought even though I've found a semi-fix, I might as well post so this hopefully will be fixed next time. Has anyone else had the same problem?
Thanks for any help,

i have similar problems to yours. the difference is that itunes 7 on my pc crashes instantly after i (dare) to click on any button under photos tab. then that windows error window appears and asks me if i want to send error report. music is syncing flawlessly.
i hope someone will help us...

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

    I have cs4. Had to rebuild my mac OS after malware infected it. Now getting an error code 150:30 when trying to open PS. Can this be fixed or do I have to upgrade to cs6?

    150:30 means licensing is broken. It's a common CS4 error. On Macs it usually happens when Photoshop is retrieved from backup or migrated from another Mac. Photoshop is never meant to be moved that way. As advised, you should uninstall and reinstall from your discs.
    Sine reinstall only apply the base install and the CS4 Help > Update function is outdated, you will have to manually download and install your updates from here:  Product updates for Bridge and Photoshop.

    Hello richvasmc,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Best of luck,

  • When trying to update applications, where can you find an account you used to purchase the application?

    The App Store has had the little red notification saying I have two new updates to download, for iPhoto and iMovie, but when I go to download them it says "please log into the account you used to purchase the application." I am not sure which account this would be, as I have only had one account on my computer since I purchased it from the Apple Store online. 
    Please help.
    Also, a side note not related to this issue: I have been having problems with system preferences as well, when trying to change the background image the rainbow starts spinning automatically and then it becomes unresponsive.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, I suppose that you bought a brand-new Mac, right? If not, you won't be able to update iPhoto and iMovie, because they are registered to another Apple ID.
    If you have a brand-new Mac, first try this > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4236 If it doesn't work, check that iPhoto and iMovie aren't hidden on your account, so unhide them > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 After doing this, try updating iPhoto and iMovie again.
    If nothing works, contact with the App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact
    Respecting to your second problem, your Desktop settings file is corrupted. To fix it, follow these steps:
    1. While you are on Desktop without any application opened, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences.
    2. Delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart

  • Text frames not supported and images can't be imported when trying to open word document, can this be fixed?

    trying to open a word document in pages, no images, diagram r tables are seen, states problems are text frames not supported and that images can not be imported. the document opens fine in mircosoft office. can this be fixed or do i need to buy microsoft office for the imac, thanks andrea

    Pages isn't a perfect converter of Word documents. They are differently coded. Some documents opens well but some don't.
    You could try opening the document in LibreOffice, a free clone of MS Office.

  • Phone stalls when trying to update or delete account

    I've had problems with my 5c since updating the software (now running 7.1.2). My main issue is that I can't toggle any of the settings on my mail/calendar accounts (combination of Google and Exchange) or my iCloud account. Whenever I toggle one of the settings (such as "Notes") I get a grey "spinning wheel of doom" square on my screen with the message "Updating Your Settings..." The square remains on the screen forever--the update never happens. Same thing when I try to delete an account.
    What I've tried so far:
    Restarting my phone
    Resetting the network
    Restoring factory defaults

    Same problem here. IMDB, TWC (weather app) Goodreader… Started this morning, out of the blue.
    After deleting IMDB (hoping to reinstall), that app cannot be installed again! Trying to, gets you the same “Update unavailable” error.
    Also, the problematic apps are not listed in my “Purchased” list (which is the real problem I think).
    I also tried through iTunes. Same problem.
    Can someone confirm that the problem apps are not showing in your purchased list?
    I don’t know if it’s on Apple’s side (in which case it will get fixed) or on my side (meaning I will have to do something).
    (I contacted Apple, waiting for reply.)

  • Itunes freezes when trying to update

    my system crashed last week and i had to restore the operating system. since then i've been slowly putting it back together piece by piece. i used a program called ipodcopy to take everything (music/video/pictures) off my ipod and put it back on my computer and my new itunes library looked just like the one on my ipod but now that i've added more music and want to update, i've hit the last (i hope) wall in this reconstruction.
    i've made sure to switch settings like auto. update back on and unchecked enable disk use. when i agree that doing all that will replace what is currently on my ipod with what is currently in the library and say yes to linking this library to the ipod rather than the old one - it freezes. i tried a few times over the last two days and the same thing happens.
    i'm almost there. someone please help me!

    No, a restore shouldn't take an hour.!!! Like maybe 10 minutes, max.
    If you had to put iPod into Disk Mode before restoring, the iPod screen may display "OK to Disconnect" and you may need to reset iPod.
    that is from this article

  • Iphoto on yosemite crashes when trying to update old photo library

    Hi there,
    I have a Imac 24" from 2008 with 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB memory.
    I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1
    The iphoto library was old so I downloaded the iphoto library upgrader as instructed and ran it on Iphoto Library (made a backup of the library first)
    The upgrader said it would take a while to modify the library which is 38GB big but it completed within a minute or so (that was the first sign of trouble).
    When launching Iphoto it opens, says the library needs to be upgraded and then immediately crashes.
    We uninstalled and reinstalled Iphoto and the library upgrader, restored the iphoto library backup and the same thing happens again.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Iphoto runs if we remove the iphoto library and restart the application. At that point we can create a new library but we can't see our old photos or import them
    It is a very good sign, that iPhoto can run with a new library.
    That iPhoto is still crashing on your main library can mean two things - either the library has a corruption, or it contains image files, that cannot be processed.
    Try, if you can rebuild your iPhoto library with iPhoto Library Manager. You can download it here:
    http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/   (the free trial version will suffice for this).  It  will create a copy of your library and relink the original files.  Your original library will remain untouched. But rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not be able to save projects, like books, calendars, slideshows.
    Read the help pages on the iPhoto Library Manager site:
    Rebuilding a corrupted iPhoto library
    And the full Help:   http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/table%20of%20contents.html
    Make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    If there are corrupted image files, this will not work. Then you will have to retrieve the original image files from your iPhoto library.

  • GarageBand stalls when trying to update loops

    Opened the new version of GarageBand (10.0.2) on my iMac late 2009, it downloaded the new sounds and loops, asked for my Apple ID, and then it stalled. The progress bar does not move, and GarageBand won't respond otherwise. Any ideas to get it to finish the install properly? I've gotten rid of 6.0.5 and trashed the .../Library/Application Support/GarageBand folder, (and rebooted) but still nothing happens.

    Any ideas to get it to finish the install properly? I've gotten rid of 6.0.5 and trashed the .../Library/Application Support/GarageBand folder, (and rebooted) but still nothing happens.
    That was unnecessary, and you'll probably regret it. If you still can, restore GarageBand 6.0.5 from your backup. Both versions are sharing large parts of the instruments library and loop library, so you will not save much space by uninstalling GarageBand 6.0.5. And the new GarageBand is missing some of the functionality, that the older had, for example the podcast template, Magick GarageBand, free combination of effects.
    I've gotten rid of 6.0.5 and trashed the .../Library/Application Support/GarageBand folder, (and rebooted) but still nothing happens.
    If you trashed that folder, you first need to reinstall GarageBand 10.0, because it needs the Instrument library.

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
