Latest iTunes Hanging when connecting iPad 2 and iPhone 4

Hi,
I have an iMac running OSX. I have updated both mavericks and Itunes to the lastest updates. When using itunes it will start fine. Then when connecting either ipad or iphone, itunes then hangs with the spinning circle. I have left this for well over 2 hours now. The only way out is to quit itunes. I have tried the iTunes help but with no sucess as yet.
I have created a new user and the problem does diappear.,so its not an ipad/iphone or mac issue. I have tried removing my library and then connecting a device but iTunes does the same thing. I am guessing something within my Mac user profile is stopping it.
Please help, its driving me mad.
P.S I also have a mac book which is working fine.

ITunes crashes when connecting iPad or iPhone

iTunes crashes when i connect iPad or iPhone. Running OSX 10.9.3 and the most up to date iTunes version?

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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, 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.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Why won't the iTunes app on the iPad and iPhone let me shut off new download email notifications?

I have a few new season passes. Each one came, of course, with email notifications of new episodes. I'm able to turn those notifications off through the iTunes store interface on my laptop. But when I try to shut them off on my iPhone or iPad, the app lets me get all the way to toggling the notification option to "off" and pressing "done" before saying that the iTunes store "cannot process [my] request at this time."
Here's what I've done to try and fix the issue so far:
1. Logged out of, and back into, my account on the iTunes store;
2. Turned my iOS devices off and back on again;
3. Made sure my iOS and iTunes software was completely up to date; and
4. Contacted Apple customer support.
That last option produced the following advice from Apple's representatives:
A. Log out of, and back into, your account on the iTunes store;
B. Turn your iOS devices off and back on again;
C. Update iTunes to the latest version;
D. Update your iPad and iPhone to the latest iOS version;
E. Use another app that does the same thing as iTunes;
F. Uninstall and re-install the iTunes app; and
G. Let us know if the problem persists.
When I let Apple know that (1) my account functions just fine on the full iTunes program, (2) the software on my devices is completely up to date, (3) both iOS devices continued to suffer the same problem after multiple restarts, and (4) options E-F don't appear to be possible without jailbreaking, a representative referred me to Apple's webpages on generic iPad troubleshooting. She also admonished me not to jailbreak my iPhone or iPad because they'd then be jailbroken---and that's bad.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? How did you fix it? Apart from just using the full iTunes program, that is---I don't take my laptop on the road with me when I travel, which can be for weeks at a time, so I'd like to be able to shut these notifications off through the app interface if at all possible.
Thanks very much for your help and suggestions!

Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

Hello asrt17,
This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.
Cheers,
Allen

TS3988 I have icloud but when my ipad and iphone are not updating together.

I have icloud installed on both my ipad and iphone. When I buy new apps they are on my ipad but don't appear on my phone. I am obviously doing something wrong. What is it?

Have you checked your Apple Store and iTunes settings (Settings > iTunes & App Stores)? Make sure that "Automatic Downloads" for Music, Apps, Books are turned on.

Trying to sync photos from iTunes (via iPhoto) to ipad and iPhone. The Photo tab does not show up and no sync occurs

Trying to sync photos from iphoto to ipad and iphone. Photo tab does not show up in itunes under devices.

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

SOLUTION (Potential) iTunes Hangs when Connecting iPhone or iPad - Win 7 64 bit

Ever since upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit, I have had an issue with iTuneshanging EVERY TIME when I connect my iPhone 4 or iPad 2 (iTunes Version on myPC is 10.2.2.12) - it will not respond until I disconnect the device theniTunes works again, until a plug in a device..... very frustrating as I can'tsync my devices.
I may have found a solution online and present it here in hopes that ithelps others with this issue (And based on a Google search, there are MANY,MANY others having the same issue).
"Run iTunes "As Administrator" every time you openit. - To do this, right click on the iTunes icon on the desktop and choose"Run As Administrator" - you should only need to do this once and itwill remember the setting."
I did this and now when I launch iTunes from the Desktop Icon Windows givesa pop-up saying "Are you sure you want to run this program asAdministrator" - I just say yes and iTunes opens, it recognizes my devicesand syncs without any issues, I have been running like this for 6 days nowsyncing both devices multiple times without issue.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, it certainly does.
My iTunes has this exact problem with my 3GS, which only started since the last itunes / iOS upgrade.
Initially I got it working by changing the sync cable's usb port, but this isn't very reliable.
Your solution however works perfectly.

Itunes hangs when connecting ipod touch

Hi there, I'm hoping someone can point me in the rightdirection here as this is driving me up the wall.
So basically in my family I have an iphone and the wifean ipod and for ages now they have worked no problem at all. The other day thewife wants me to sync her ipod and when i try and do so it wants updating so ilet it do its thing and thought that was it. Once it was finished i had aproblem whereby whenever you plugged any of the two devices in windows wouldn'tsee them and itunes would just hang and do nothing like it was thinking indefinitely.Weirdly, as soon s you disconnect either device, itunes and windows behaves asnormal.
So i done a bit of reading and one suggestion was todisconnect your internet so i did so and everything worked again, got her ipodsynced and thought all was good. Then the same problem again 10 minutes laterand this time disconnecting he internet makes no difference.
So next suggestion was to stop the apple service so donethat and again everything worked great but as soon as i took her ipod out andreconnected it, nothing! And now, like before if i stop the service and restartit now doesn't make a difference.
Now weirdly my iphone now having done all this worksfine, i can connect it, itunes sees it and it syncs, but her ipod doesnt, youplug it in, windows doesnt seem to see it although it does charge. But itunesjust sits there and hangs. So no matter what i do i cant seem to get it tosync.
Any ideas?

I've been through all the points listed in the support pages about what to do if youre computer cant see itunes, so any other ideas?

How to reset iTunes backup configuration for iPad and iPhone?

After buying a new Mac, I migrated my settings (because there were w a lot of apps) and generally everything's working. Except when I try to sync my iPad or iPhone, I get the following error:
iTunes could not backup the (device) ... because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad
A few notes
It does work with a new account, just not this one, so there's some setting somewhere that probably needs to go
I did repair disk permissions
I tried to reset preferences via mv *iTunes* to a backup folder in <user>/Library/Preferences
There are no backups on this machine (if you go to iTunes / Settings / Devices the "device backups" list is empty)
It still feels like something is pointing somewhere invalid, but I have no idea how to reset it.

The problem turned out to be a symlink to a folder that pointed nowhere where the backups were stored.
I seriously doubt many people are going to run into this issue, but hey, there you go, another thing to watch out for are symlinks if you transfer your settings to a new machine.
The reason before was that I was clearing out space on a SSD, and backups took up enough room.

Trouble Connecting iPad and iPhone to Exchange Server 2010

Exchange Server 2010.
I have found some online instructions for connecting iPhones and iPods (or iPads) to Exchange Server 2010 using activesync. I enter all the information as I understand it (the same info used to successful connect Droids), and I do not get an error
until I try to sync (retrieve mail) the first time. Then it says, "The connection to the server failed."
In the instructions I follwed it has this statement, "Before we get started, please be sure your administartor has purchased you an Activesync license and assigned to
your email address." What the heck does this mean and how can I accomplish it? I know activesync is working. So why do I need a "license"?
Any help will be appreciated.

Synch from itunes on iMac to Ipad and iPhone

I've eventually decided to upgrade, my iPad (7.0.4) and iPhone (7.0.4).
I lost loads of data and iTunes backups corrput (so Apple says), so iPad had to rebuilt as if new.
So am woeking through everything to re-establish to as it was before.
I AM LOOSING THE WILL TO LIVE.
iTunes...I had NO music data at all on Pad or Phone.
On my iMac, in iTunes 11.1.4 created 2 playlists and synched them to my Pad and Phone, ONLY 2 playlists. NOTHING ELSE WAS CHECKED, I TRIPLE CHECKED.
Success - got 2 playlists on Pad and Phone.
BUT BUT BUT
Noticed loads of other tracks, 196 of them.
Could not work out where they'd come from, then realised "Ah they're in Purchased folder on iTunes".
BUT I DID NOT ASK FOR THESE 2 B SYNCHED. NO WAY.
So i removed everything in iTunes, in Pruchased folder.
I tried to synch again, choosing nothing, i.e. no songs, in the hope these would be removed.
NO.
So I have a Pad and Phone with 196 purchased songs and I cannot get rid of them.
GOING MAD!!!!! HELP PLEASE. I moved from Windows to avoid this rubbish.....

I had a similar problem (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24525903#24525903)
The solution in my case was to start iPhoto and let it update the library, even thu itunes was set up to sync with Aperture.

Trying to connect iPad and iPhone via Bluetooth

Whenever I try to connect my iPad with my iPhone via Bluetooth a window shows up saying "Make sure iPhone is turned on an in range" ,even though I switched off and on Bluetooth many times but it didn't work

In general this is not a feature of wither iPad or iPhone.
The excepts are internet tethering, if provided by the carrier, and some apps allow connection from within the app.
