ITunes sync poor performance [iPhone 4 iOS 4.1] [Windows Vista x64]

I am using an iPhone 4, iOS 4.1 and am running iTunes on a Windows driven laptop, x64 Vista. I have been an iPhone user for 2 years now, and recently I have gotten some trouble that I can not seem to fix by myself, nor Google.
The thing is, iTunes is really slow while syncing. Most of the time Firefox is unusable while syncing. iTunes.exe does not take up a lot of CPU usage, AppleMobileDeviceService.exe however often does take 50% of CPU usage (running dual core, so it might be 100% on one of these cores).
iTunes has worked properly on my device, heck, sometimes it still does, sometimes even during sync it works properly fast, only to come to this slowness somewhere during syncing.
The worst I have seen iTunes perform is during "Synchronizing apps with iPhone (step 4 out of 6)". Here, iTunes passes all my installed apps (200+), and takes at least one minute per app. I have recently only once seen iTunes doing this properly, than it covered 5 apps per second, the way it should be I may assume. Also, when cancelling or interupting this sync, and than reattaching the iPhone, I get an error ending with 0000065. The only way to clear this seems to be rebooting iPhone.
I am afraid of reinstalling iTunes alltogether, because I do not know what will happen with my iPhone backups (syncing multiple iPhones with this computer; 3), apps and music playlists.
Quite some text, but I really hope it's enough troubleshooting so we can fix some of this. iTunes is just unworkable right now, and seeing as I have a few problems with the iPhone as well, it has to start working on me!
As for the iPhone problem: the camera shutter won't open up! Can get the small front camera to work, however not in Apple's camera app itself .
Please, what can I do to speed things up? Many thanks in advance!
Edit: I'm running iTunes 10.1.1.4
Also, this might be worth mentioning: I removed some backups/restore-points (using Dutch version of iTunes, not sure what US/UK calls them, "reservekopieen") of the iPhones I sync with iTunes, ones I ought useless. I can not imagine this made iTunes slower, but I can not rule out either that this problem has occured since I deleted these backups from iTunes and HDD.

No data is stored with the iTunes app. iTunes accesses data that is stored elsewhere. Deleting iTunes won't touch or affect any data accessed by iTunes no different from deleting Word not touching or affecting any Word documents saved on your computer.
Even if your iPhone's backup was deleted with iTunes which it won't be since it is stored completely separate, you can manually create a new backup for your iPhone without syncing your iPhone with iTunes, and your iTunes library on your computer which is also stored completely separate should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data stored completely separate from the apps that access the saved data.

    Hi
    This is a little confusing.  What is the end result you are looking for?
    1. What Iphone and IOS do you have?
    2. What Ipad and IOS do you have?
    3.  What "syncing " are you talking about?  iTunes or iCloud
    4.  What Vista version are you running - does it include Service Pack 2?

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

  • ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

    iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
    Getting the following error message:
    Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
    This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
    I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
    Please advise.

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

  • Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?

    Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?
    On another note, the iPhone tells me that it's ''busy'' when opening a photo on the computer.
    (I tried restarting my PC, connecting via another USB port, importing using PhotoStream, etc...)

    Are you using the front or rear camera? When you say they are low quality, are you referring to file/pixel size, or how the picture looks? As far as upside down, how are you holding the phone? Older versions of Windows have issues reading the Metadata from the pictures and will not display the same.

  • Trying to update itunes 10.4 to 10.5.3 in windows vista 32bit but keeps coming up with error message

    I am trying to update my itunes 10.4 to 10.5.3 in windows vista 32 bit but it goes through the downloading ok then goes to installing but comes up with "An errors occurred while installing updates. If the problem persists, choose TOOLS>DOWNLOAD ONLY and try installing manually". I have tried to do that but i am unable to click the download only button.

I have tried to update via the   button but it goes through the downloading and installing like before then comes up with Im not very savvy on the computer so would appreciate a 'dumbed down' answer.

    Have you tried uninstalling iTunes and its components completely rather than repairing them?

  • Installing iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows Vista X64

    Hey guys,
    Sorry if this has been covered in the past, I looked over the forum and couldn't find anything on this. However I have a solution for installing iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows Vista x64.
    What was happening was that anytime I installed iTunesSetup.exe from Windows Vista x64 it said it couldn't find QuickTime and aborted the install. Well what was happening is that all 32 bit installers now go to the "Program Files (x86)" directory. And the install team at Apple hard coded iTunes Install to look for the QuickTime folder in "c:\Program Files" instead of getting the location provided by the OS ("c:\Program Files (x86)\"). So it blows up when it cannot find the QuickTime directory in the wrong location.
    First download QuickTimeInstaller.exe and install QuickTime. (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/)
    Move the QuickTime folder from c:\Program Files (x86) to c:\Program Files
    Then download iTunesSetup.exe and install iTunes. (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/)
    Worked perfectly for me. Let me know if anybody has any problems. I would also like to forward what I found to apple so that they can fix this in the future. Does anybody know a good source to send this too?

    Maybe you can hel me
    Im unable to install itunes 7.0.2 because each time I try to i get an error message saying I have insufficient access to that key...the key being HKEYlocalmachine\software\microsoft windows\...etc, etc. etc...
    Can you helP???

    Hi fardei,
    If you use the HDD recovery to reinstall Windows, your whole computer will not be formatted. Only the first partition will be deleted and thats all. Check the Toshiba document how the HDD recovery option works.
    Using the Toshiba recovery disk creator tool allows you to create a recovery disk. Normally on the first start up where you purchased the notebook, you did get the following message:
    +Important INFORMATION+
    +your system is equipped with hard disk recovery system. if you need to repair+
    +your computer by restoring it to original factory state, you can do it directly+
    +from harddisk (press F8 when you boot your computer, choose "Repair your computer"+
    +and follow the menue instructions) or create a bootable Recovery Disc Medium for this purpose.+
    +Toshiba recommends you to create Recovery Disc Medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to ensure+
    +hat you are able to restore your computer to the original factory installed state, even if your computer+
    +gets seriously damaged+

  • ITunes 12.0.1 now just "hangs" and does not complete the sync with my iPhone (iOS 6.1.6).

    Hello all,
    I've seen similar posts earlier in Apple discussions, but I haven't come across a definitive answer yet…So, let me ask again:
    Up until 6-7 hours ago, iTunes 12.0.1 was working perfectly well including syncing with my iPhone (I use an oldie but a goodie and it suits my purposes, iOS 6.1.6, 3GS).  Specifically iTunes now "hangs" and will not complete the syncing process with my iPhone. It get to "2 of 6" in the backing up process, and then the spinning beach ball appears. I keep my iTunes library on a separate external HD (USB).
    Even if I only want to launch iTunes 12 to use it (and NOT sync), the application freezes.
    In similar posted questions, "Linc Davis" has asked that the user run a diagnostic using the Terminal utility.  I have done this, and I paste the results below.
    Any help with this is appreciated!

    Dear Linc,
    Thanks, once again, for repeating yourself by sending me the message above (a message you have sent to MANY users with this problem)!
    However, you give me this great opportunity to say two things:  1) YAHOO! I fixed the problem, and 2) I want to share how I did so because I hope it helps others.
    With the help of reading info at this website http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/22/fix-the-itunes-library-itl-cannot-be-read-version -error-when-downgrading-itunes/, I followed this procedure:
    1) I deleted the iTunes 12.0.1 app from my computer
    2) In addition, in reading related details at the website above (i.e., by clicking on links on the page AND scrolling to the very bottom to view links to related articles), in my iTunes library folder, I changed MY CURRENT "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library.old", as the website advises. The current .itl file was the one being used by the iTunes app I had just deleted from my computer.
    3) I went to the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and dragged a copy of the second-most recent .itl file to my desktop (for me, this file was "iTunes Library 2014-07-23.itl").
    4) I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl"
    5) I then dragged a copy of the file in step #4 to my iTunes folder (the folder in which you now also have the "iTunes Library.old" file).
    6) I closed all remaining apps on my computer that were opened and I restarted it.
    7) Now, you don't have any iTunes app on your computer, so I downloaded a .dmg of iTunes 12.0.1.26 and installed the app (for example, you can download from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5661/apple-itunes.
    8) Once installed, I opened iTunes and immediately I got the dialogue box, "updating iTunes library" -- THIS TOOK FOREVER AS I HAVE CLOSE TO 1,000 SONGS + OTHER ITEMS IN MY LIBRARY!
    9) I patiently waited until the library update completed, but it DID COMPLETE.
    10) Viola!  iTunes 12 is not "hanging" (or freezing) any longer.  I can navigate around the application.
    CAVEATS:
    1) Before I first deleted "the corrupted" iTunes 12, I was able to open the Preferences panel, go to "Devices", and check the box that stops the app from syncing with my iPhone.  This setting seemed to carry over; thus, I have not tried to sync yet…WISH ME LUCK!
    2) After going through steps 1-10 above, I didn't immediately have Internet Radio available in the application (i.e., I didn't see it), but it is now showing up and it works!  I just had to wait for a few minutes...
    3) I also use iTunes Match, but I haven't turned it on yet in the newly installed app. On the iTunes Match page, it says, "Add this computer" or "No thanks". So, the app is behaving as if I'm just beginning to use iTunes Match for the first time.  Later, I will click on "Add this computer", and I hope it goes smoothly!
    4) This isn't a caveat, but I think I should say: my iTunes library is on an external USB HD (I have to say THANK GOD for that). Obviously, this has implications for doing steps 2 to 5 above. The newly installed iTunes 12 app had no trouble in finding where my library is (I had it set up this way back when I was using iTunes 10).
    5) One last piece of advice: Make sure that when you plug your iPhone into any other computer only to re-charge but the iTunes app on that computer wants to sync with your phone, you DON'T let it sync.  First, you should go to Preferences in the iTunes app and click on "Devices". Then check the box that says, "Prevent iPods, iPhones,…….from syncing automatically."  After that, you would be able to plug in your iPhone to another computer to re-charge it.
    FINALLY:  I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS WILLING TO SUGGEST SOLUTIONS TO ME REGARDING THIS PROBLEM!  I see that MANY users are having this difficulty, so I thought it would be fair for me to share how I resolved the issue -- my iTunes is running fine now...

  • ITunes sync problems with iphone 5

    Is anyone having problems with iTunes (11.1.2) not syncing properly with their iPhone 5?
    Some examples:
    Example 1
    Existing playlist on Mac Mini (Mac OS X v10.7.5) edited to add a song
    iPhone 5 (iOS v 7.0.3) "Sync Music" setup to sync 'Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres', with edited playlist selected
    iPhone 5 hardwired to Mac Mini and 'Sync' clicked.
    Upon completion of sync, playlist is not updated
    Follow-up Action taken - unchecked "Sync Music" in iTunes for iPhone 5 and click 'Apply'
    Upon completion of sync, all 'Playlists' are removed, but all 'Artists' and 'Songs' are still listed.
    Re-checked "Sync Music" and clicked 'Apply'...sync showing that all selected music is being copied to the iPhone
    Upon completion of 2nd sync, "Playlist" now updated.
    This type of issue happens constantly.  I experienced something similar after I added an album and then "Selected" that artist to be included in the sync.  The initial sync did not include this new ablum.  It was only added to the phone after I unchecked "Sync Music", synchronized, and then re-checked it and synchronized again.
    Can someone provide some insight as to why this is happening?

    Alright. I was having the same problem at first. I would tell iTunes to synch playlists and it wouldn't synch the playlists at all, so it kept all the playlists that had been on my iphone to begin with. I followed some steps somewhere in Apple Discussions to get my iTunes to synch. So now it at least synchs!
    I did this:
    1. in itunes with the iphone plugged in uncheck the Sync Music Box from itunes
    2. on your iphone go to settings/general/usage/music and DELETE all music I know it's scary but trust me it works!
    3. power down the iphone
    4. unplug iphone from computer
    5. power down the computer
    6. power up iphone
    7. power up computer
    8. plug in iphone
    9. check Sync Music Box (except it was already checked for me...)
    10. sync
    NOW my problem is that a smart playlist that I've been trying to synch has 106 songs on my iTunes (and according to iTunes that's how many songs are on the playlist on the iPhone), but on the iPhone itself, it has 274 songs on it. They aren't even duplicates, they're random songs that aren't on that playlist!
    I really don't see the sense in backing it up and restoring it from the backup since that's literally giving the phone the same problems, and I'd clearly like to avoid wiping the slate clean and starting over both on my phone and on iTunes (I have 7100 songs. Would YOU want to wait that long to rebuild iTunes!?). Any tips?

  • ITunes Sync Error with iPhone

    While sync'ing my iPhone 4S (iOS 7.0.4) with iTunes (11.1.4.62) running on Windows 7, it gets to Step 3 of 6, and pop up an error that reads "Unable to load SyncUICoreLocalized.dll". Tried repairing, and uninstalling/re-installing both iTunes and iCloud.
    Any help would be great.

    Ever since I installed the latest iTunes update, I've had a variety of problems. My iPhone actually lost all sound. I couldn't hear calls coming in, couldn't make calls going out, no reminders, text notifications, etc. So, I got my replacement phone yesterday only to find that iTunes no longer recognized my attached phone. I had to get tech support to help before I could back up my old phone and transfer data to my replacement. An essential driver had been corrupted. That got fixed, but then I couldn't sync. After nearly 6 hours, tech support still hadn't solved the problem  - not for lack of trying.   Anyway, I tried to sync again this morning and got the "Resource not found: Unable to load SyncUICoreLocalized.dll" message." I then happened to check in this forum and followed the lead from the post above.
    I have an iPhone 4S and Windows 8 and use Outlook 2013. Here's what worked for me.
    Close iTunes
    Close Outlook
    Open Control Panel/Programs
    Right click on "Apple Mobile Device Support"
    Select "Repair"
    Wait a few moments ("Repair" doesn't show any indications of status, so I just wanted to be sure it was done.)
    Open iTunes
    Resync (I selected to replace my phone Contacts/Calendar from my Outlook, but that may not be necessary.)
    Instead of Sync hanging for hours like it did yesterday, Sync took less than 10 seconds total. I didn't even have to reboot. YAY!

  • ITunes Syncs Podcasts to iPhone - Podcast App only Shows 1

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing an odd bug with Podcasts that I'll try to explain as succinctly as possible.
    There is a local radio show that I manually download from their website and listen on the Podcasts app through my iPhone.  Typcially, I download the MP3 of the daily broadcast, copy into iTunes, change the "Media Kind" to "Podcasts" and sync with my iPhone.  It's worked fine for a year.
    However, since doing a clean install of Mavericks and iTunes, it's been acting wacky.  In this example, let's say I have 5 episodes of the radio show from last week.  They're named by their air date (10-28-2013, 10-29-2013, etc.), and look fine within iTunes.  When I sync them to my iPhone, I can see on the progress bar that all 5 episodes copy over.  But when I open up the Podcasts app, all I see is the newest epside (11-01-2013).  If I try to play that episode, it says it is playing the 11/1 episode, but it ends up playing one of the other 4 episodes.
    I've tried unsyncing Podcasts through iTunes (so everything is deleted from my phone), and then synching again.  Same problem.  I've also tried unsyncing, deleting the Podcasts app, and then reinstalling the app.  Same problem.
    Any thoughts or ideas on what I should try next?  Is there a cache or library file on my phone or Mac that I need to reset?  Thanks!

    After a lot of troubleshooting, I found a fix.  It seems the newest versions of the Podcast app rely heavily on ID3 tags, so you've got to have a bare minimum of tags set in order for the app to properly recognize them. 
    To get started, you'll need an ID3 editor.  I used this one.  http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/
    Before you import the MP3 file into iTunes, open it in the ID3 Editor and adjust the following tags...
    1) Starting on the "Standard" tab, make sure "Enable V2 tag" is checked, and you have something for Title, Artist, Year, Genre ("Podcast").
    2) Still on the "Standard" tab, if "Enable V1 tag" is selected, go ahead and de-select it.
    3) On "Extended" tab, add a date to "Released" in the following format - YYYY-MM-DD
    4) On "Podcast" tab, make sure the "Enable podcast tab" box is checked.  Then, enter any website under "Identifier" and "Feed."  I just used http://www.google.com 
    After setting those tags, just click on the "Update" button, and you can now import the file into iTunes, sync with your iDevice, and the Podcasts app should stop acting a fool.

  • ITunes sync to my iphone problems.

    I just got an iphone 4 this past week, and I'll start by saying that I previously had an ipod Touch and these problems I have never had with it.
    So when I go into iTunes with my phone synced in, I go into my music folder of my iphone(via iTunes on the PC), not iTunes library. When I edit anything in here, whether it is fixing an album name or artist name or whatever, it won't make those changes on my iphone. After I fix something, it shows it updating and syncing to account for those fixes, but when I go into my iphone itself, nothing has changed. It will delete and add songs fine, but fixes it just won't do. So what I have to do is delete the songs I want to edit first, then go into my iTunes library, fix them there and then re-add them. I also have my phone setup to manualy manage music, so I know it not a problem with any automatic syncs with my library.
    Also, I have a secondary problem, not really related, but still kind of. But whenever I edit anything, or add or delete music, or just anything I make the smallest change to that it will sync to my iphone, at the top of itunes where it shows it syncing, it will also quickly go through the same 75 songs saying that they are copying. It is a quick few seconds every time it does it, but its really irritating. Even if I simply just change like one letter of a song name, it does it, and it does it no matter even when it isn't one of those 75 particular songs that I am even editing. It does it really fast, so its impossible to notice which each of those 75 they are, but I do manage to notice some of them each time, so I knew its always the same ones. Ive noticed that these songs it shows are songs that I have purchased. But I don't know what is special about them in particular since I have 152 purchased songs in total.
    Thanks to anyone who wants to take a stab at trying to figure out what the crap is going on.
    BTW. my iPhone started out on 5.0.1, then just today updated to 5.1, but these problems happed before and after I updated.

    Well, that's very simple.  iTunes simply does not update the information in the library simply because it was edited in the file.  Do the editing within iTunes.
    As for the other issue, it's a non-issue.  Simply ignore it.

  • ITunes Not working in iPhone iOS 7

    When trying to access iTunes in iOS 7 I see it try to start and then it quits. I have tried to reload it but that doesn't work, I guess because it appears to the download system that I have a copy, my guess is that it is somehow corrupted in my phone. What to do, who to call.
    Andy

    Found the answer. Restore iOS 7 which turns out to be rather simple and straight forward and not as time consuming as the initial download. Hook the iPhone to your computer and go to iTunes and select the iPhone when it shows up in the sidebar, this will bring up a window that shows a number of options. Backup your iPhone by choosing one of the hree options provided and when done select "Restore" the iPhone. Be sure to select the backup that best suits your needs and desires as any purchased Apps can be lost during this process and they will have to be reloaded or repurchased.
