ITunes suddenly quits during the sync of my iPhone 3G

I have had no problems syncing my iPhone until very recently. Better stated, since the upgrade to iTunes 10. The sync/backup seems to proceed normally until about 2/3- 3/4 through the sync. Anyone have a similar problem? Any suggestions? I did reinstall iTunes and did a hard reset of the iPhone without any improvement.

I've started getting the same thing this morning. itunes 10.0.1, iphone4 with iOS4.1. I've tried restarting the mac, verifying and repairing permissions with no improvement. Error message suggested a scrobbling plugin was at fault. I have turned off scrobbling in lastFM and quit the app. I am at a loss.

  • How do I solve this Nano 3G syncing problem?  During the syncing process my music files are registering as audio, but once I eject the IPOD it does not reveal the music files in the music folder.

    During the syncing process my IPOD Nano 3G shows that the music files that I'm synching are registering as audio, and that the video files are registering as video, and even upon completion they are still labeled as such.  But, when I eject the device from ITUNES and turn it on, the IPOD reveals that there are no music or video files to be played.  When I plug the device back into my MAC and, when ITUNES recognizes the device, uder the summary tab the summary bar reads that the files that I loaded are all classified as other files.  What could be causing this?  I had to re-install my Tiger Software, and since then I've been having this problem.

  • Sync failure because itunes cannot connect to the sync server PLEASE HELP!!

    HELP! I cannot get my info back into my iphone.
    During sync I get an error message that says 'sync failure because itunes cannot connect to the sync server''
    I have had this problem today so i restored the iphone and it has synched the ipod portion but will not sync calenders, contacts , email accounts or bookmarks.
    The restore erased all of these and now i cannot replace them.
    Thank you in advance for any help in solving this crisis.

    I had the same problem (not from day one but within the past couple months). Anyway, I wish I had made note of everything that the quick-and wonderful-Apple support did when I finally decided to give them a call today-after getting tired of not being able to update calendars and contacts and not seeing any helpful info here-unfortunately, I continue that legacy (as I can't remember everything I had to do to fix-sorry) Ultimately involves creating a new user I called mine IPHONE...then doing some of this and that-and finally merging info and going to "Terminal" and typing in some code...then deleting some of the old files, Took about twenty-minutes on the phone. Sorry I didn't think ahead for others and write al this down...but just know the Apple people were great. I talked to a gal for about ten minutes very methodically trouble-shooting. When nothing worked she shifted me over to a real nice guy who calmly and politely guided me through all the steps to fix this annoying problem. I hate to say it, but just get on the phone and-if you have the same experience as me-you will get 5 Star treatment and your sync will work like a dream. Every time I have to contact Apple Support (which isn't that often) my experience is nothing but the best. Unbelievable customer service! Methodical, Personable, and truly knowledgeable! There is a fix and it works like a dream. Not that hard but you'll need customer service to walk you through it-as I can't (sorry I can't be of much help...) Good luck!

  • I recently bought a new laptop, installed iTunes and imported my library during a sync with my iPhone. Now I've noticed that any tracks that were ripped into my library from a CD won't play on my iPhone. They're visible but with a red circle next to them.

    Hi, BartleyBauer. 
    If the media that you are attempting to sync plays in iTunes, try removing the preference to sync music as this remove the media from the device.  Once this is done, try syncing the media again.

    Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
    This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
    Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply,  then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
    I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes.  Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
    I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
    Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

    What are you trying to sync?
    I see you are on ios 7.
    I also had upgraded my iPad Mini to ios 7 & then the 1st time I tried to open a Numbers file that was set up to sync w my MacBookPro, I got a warning that I would not be able to sync it any more w my Mac until I upgraded to Mavericks.
    So if you are trying to sync Numbers, Pages or Keynote files between your iPad mini in ios 7 and a Mac that hasn't been upgraded to Mavericks that could be the problem.
    I was very shocked to get that message since I bought Numbers on the iPad so that I could have a particular file on both devices & keep them synced. I had no clue when I upgraded to ios 7 on the iPad Mini that it would make it so the files in the iWorks apps woudln't sync any more.
    So I finally decided to go ahead & upgrade to Mavericks after carefully preparing & updating other software so that it would work w Mavericks. But I got error messages so haven't even been able to download Mavericks & now having 2nd thoughts about doing so.

  • All my emails from Gmail have been deleted during the sync process with Mail

    Hi,
    During the sync between Gmail and Mail in my MacBook Pro all the messages disapered in Gmail and in my Mac. I see them for a minute in my Mac and then all disapered. Then, I went to Gmail and all my emails have been deleted too, but they aren't in the Trash Folder. The configuration was ok, and all the options to keep a copy on the server were activated.
    Now I can't find the emails (more than 15.000) in Gmail or in the Mac.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks a lot!

    Most likely your anti-virus software did corrupt your mail files. In general the anti-virus software should not scan your Thunderbird profile folder.
    Without knowing what exactly the local computer company did it is virtually impossible to tell what happened.
    You can check whether the anti-virus software did quarantine your mail file(s).
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Anti-virus_Software#Recovering_a_quarantined_Inbox
    The Windows Restore function does not cover the Thunderbird profile, so there is no point trying that.
    Your best bet would be to restore a recent backup of your profile folder. Hope you did create one.

  • ITunes suddenly stopped accessing the internet

    iTunes suddenly stopped accessing the internet, so can't get to the iTunes store.  All other programs running ok on my Windows 7, 64 Bit system.  Have tried Windows Program repair and then Program un-install followed by Program reinstall - neither worked.  Again, everything else works on my desktop PC.  Even tried removing the anti-virus program.  Still no luck.
    Apple troubleshooting guide hints do not help.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
