Keep getting SyncServer has stopped working

I have a new 16gig iPhone 3GS, when i plug it in to my PC I get a popup that says SyncServer has stoped working followed by an iTunes message that says "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later". Thought at first it was my new iphone but does the same thing with my daughters 8Gig iPhone 3G. I have uninstalledd/reinstall/repaired iTunes, updated USB drivers, and done everything else the help & FAQ's have recomended. Anyone got any other ides?

Hey all... I too have been having this same problem for weeks... After reading many threads in different forums I found my solution...
It may or may not work for you depending on your system. However this solution from posts from others have worked for these systems.
Windows Vista 32 & 64 bit versions, Windows 7, Those using Mobile Me and Office.
Here is what we were told to do and it worked. Just passing it on for others to attempt to see if it fixes your problems too.
Here is what we did.
You must copy TWO files from one folder to another.... It seems that these were placed in the wrong folder or they were left out of the last update.
I'm using VISTA so my files are in Program Files(x86) not the
regular Program Files folder... Make adjustments for the system you are using.
Go to > COMPUTER
C: drive
PROGRAM FILES(x86)
COMMON FILES
APPLE
APPLE APPLICATION SUPPORT +(ie: get the files from this location)+
Copy these two files... libxml2.dll and libtidy.dll
Then go PASTE them Here:
Go to > COMPUTER
C: drive
PROGRAM FILES(x86)
COMMON FILES
APPLE
MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT +(Paste the two files in here)+
This helped all of us.... Maybe this will be your fix too.
Hope it helps...

    Does iTunes start in Safe Mode?
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interfence with plug-ins or scrpits not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    It would also be helpful if you can provide the Error Report from the Windows Action Center Reliabilty History. To view this go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Action Center > View Reliability History under Maintenance. Double click the iTunes critical event and copy it into your reply.

  • Anyone else keep getting "iTunes has stopped working" pop-up ever since the last update?

    Recently iTunes had issued a fix to the problem they were having with music stuttering during playback. I installed the update and no more stuttering.
    Ever since installing that update (iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit), however, I keep getting a "iTunes has stopped working" pop-up, and it closes down. This is constantly happening to me. I uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it, and it is still happening quite often.
    Hopefully Apple is aware of this, and will issue yet another update.
    Has anyone else experienced this too, or is it just me?

    Hi Wi_Writer,
    Are you getting the iTunes error message when you connect a device to iTunes or only during playback with a connected device?  The resource below provides some additional troubleshooting steps for this scenario.

  • Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==

    Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==

    Turning off the Protected Mode at Startup setting fixed the problem for me. Switched off all protected mode settings in Preferences exited Adobe Reader XI then restarted. Now I can successfully open files without the program crashing. I run the same versions of Adobe Reader and Norton Internet Security on Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems and the problem only occurred on Windows 7.

  • Getting itunes has stopped working message after downloading to Windows 8.1

    Getting ITunes has stopped working message after 10 seconds after downloading to Windows 8.1

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • SyncServer has stopped working

    hi, when i connect my iphone to to itunes it tells me that the "SyncServer has stopped working". then it says "itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services". i can still put songs on my iphone but when i want to delete them i cant? please help its driving me crazy! =(

    yh the same thing happenend to me, i called them up and u have to do this:
    go to my computer
    click on the (C:) drive
    there should be a folder called "users", click on it
    then click on whatever user you are
    then there should be a folder sayin music, double click
    click on itunes
    now there are too things u can possibly do, read carefully:
    it should have folders saying itunes library, itunes genius etc
    IF after the folder saying Itune Library there isnt anythin after it, click on:
    organise (top left of screen)
    folder and search options
    click on the view tab
    then in the list there should be "DO NOT SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"
    tick that box and click "ok"
    now it should say somethin like "Itunes Library.itdb" (or somethin similar)
    RIGHT click and click rename, then rename it "Itunes Library.old"
    if this has been done correctly you should be able to open up a previous version of itunes =)

  • Why am I continually getting "Firefox has stopped working" messages?

    Seems like constantly, several times a day, I receive the message "Firefox has stopped working" and that Microsoft or Windows is searching for the problem, and then it shuts down. When I open Firefox again, it takes me right back where I left off, with another open window. Also, since running an update a week or so ago, every time I click to open another site I get hit with the "Do you want Mozilla to allow this change?" That didn't happen before. Both are very annoying. I also lost my RoboForm toolbar unless I juggle back and forth the "Full Page" setting after dropping down the open menu bars. I am not, by any means, a computer whiz, so most of the help FAQs are written above my knowledge of computers level. Now when I just clicked "Automatically add" Troubleshooting info, at the bottom of this page, I got a pop up that said " Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on this computer". Now I'm really lost! I don't want to reset back to Default because I'll never get back the settings I currently have.

    Regarding the message about allowing a change, is there more information about what the change is?
    You have quite a few plugins, and they might not all be necessary. To minimize the influence of add-ons while you're troubleshooting this problem, I suggest the following.
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins.
    * Set unrecognized or rarely used plugins to "Never Activate"
    * Consider setting "player" type plugins such as QuickTime, Silverlight, and Shockwave Flash to "Ask to Activate" so that sites cannot run them automatically. As you discover sites you want to allow to run the player every time, you can click the notification icon in the address bar (looks like a small Lego block) and give permission there.
    In the left column, click Extensions.
    * Remove unrecognized extensions, or disable them
    * Disable rarely used extensions (for example, you don't use it daily)
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Hopefully this will help keep Firefox more stable.

  • Webkit2 webprocess exe keeps saying it has stopped working. how do i fix this

    My computer keeps popping up with this message, Webkit2 process Exe has stopped working! How do i fix this problem????

        Denb15,
    I wish the issue was going to be as easy to identify as a system rollout! I know you must be extremely worried about having a brand new phone acting this way. Do you get this error message every time you're on a phone call? What kinds of actions prompt the error to pop up and how often is it happening? Share details so we can help find a fix!
    Also, Verizon Wireless does have a 14 day worry free guarantee time frame I want to make you aware of. You would be able to exchange your current Note 4 for another of the same make/model at no charge within that time frame. After the 14 days has been exceeded we can still replace the phone if we need to, but it would be with a Certified Like New Replacement. http://vz.to/1hJXRR0 .

  • Every time I try to import a CD I get "iTunes has stopped working"

    I updated to the new 9.0.3.15 version of ITunes a couple of weeks back and ever since I have not been able to import CD's?
    It seems it works with every else syncing etc but not importing CD's.
    Every time I try to import a CD it will start then within a few seconds I get the message "iTunes has stopped working" and another message saying Windows is looking for a solution.
    I have tried going into Control Panel and Programs and repairing the installation but no luck.
    Anyone know how I can fix this.

    I can see messages for other programs that have had issues but nothing for iTunes.
    Hmmmm.
    Maybe try provoking the error another two or three times, taking a careful note of the time showing on the PC. Now head back into the Action Center. Is there a problem report for any application or operating system component that appears regularly at the same time as the iTunes errors?
    If so, paste a copy of a typical error report for that in a reply. (Fingers crossed that might get us a bit closer to understanding what is afoot.)
