Mac itunes 11.1.2 not finishing sync iphone 5s

I have just updated my Iphone 5s to 7.0.3 and Itunes to 11.1.2 on my MAC 10.8.5.
When performing a sync when the phone is plugged in,  Itunes does not complete the sync.  Instead the progress bat at the top just sits there "progressing" with the notification "Finishing Sync"  Which never happens.  I left it overnight just in case there was an issue, but when I checked it it had not completed....That meant 8 hours of Finishing Sync.
Any suggestions, given I have already tried rebooting bot the Mac and the phone on several occassions.
Cheers

I tried hitting the sync button again with my iPhone 5S, iOS 7.0.3, and iTunes 11.1.2, but it still stalled at "Finishing sync".  So after 50 minutes I simply ejected the iPhone and disconnected it from the Apple supplied USB cable.  Guess what!  The sync appears to have worked perfectly, despite iTunes hanging.  BUT, BE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR iPHONE BEFORE TRYING THIS!

  • ITunes 11.1.2 (31) is not finishing sync iPhone 5

    When I plug in my iPhone 5 to the Mac and start iTunes to sync my iphone everything is ok
    - backup done
    - sync done
    on the the iPhone everything is ok, the whole sync is done, and the sync-icon (arrows turning) is gone
    but,....iTunes is not finishing sync,..."finishing sync" is running and running !
    is it a problem on iTunes?

    I'm having this issue on the following computers and devices:
    2011 15" MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with these devices: an iPad 2 running 7.0.3 and a 4G iPod Touch running 6.1.3.
    2010 13" MacBook Pro running Lion with a 3G iPod Touch running 5.1.1.
    The problem started when I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2. So, at least for me the culprit seems to be iTunes.

    Same thing has been happening to me after updating both iTunes and my iPhone today... keeps getting stuck at "Finishing Sync."  I managed to fix it though... when it's stuck on "Finishing Sync", find your device in iTunes (if you have the preview pane open on the left side, you'll see it under 'devices').  Then click the 'Sync" button on the bottom right.  It'll do a sync to your device again, but it won't hang on the last step anymore (at least it didn't for me).  I hope that helps anyone else with the same problem!
    Thanks! That fixed it.

  • Having purchase iTunes Match, it will not finish syncing; won't complete process. SOS

    I bought iTunes Match and haven't been able to complete the syncing process over several days. It will go thru the steps 1, then 2 and stalls on 3 (uploading art work and remaining songs.) I have had several serious problems over the past couple of years, twice having lost my musical Playlists. I've had to reconfigure them & neither time are they the exact same -- this means, from my conbination of internet buys & manual downloads, there are years of different kinds of files. Any help offered will be appreciated.

    I'm having a similar problem - but the difference being the device isn't recognised at all!!! The latest updates for IOS and iTunes are filled with bugs, it's so annoying I can no longer sync my iPod Touch (5th gen) and the device itself isn't sending iMessages & Facetime won't work!
    This thread is about devices not syncing properly.  If your iPod Touch isn't behaving normally it's more likely that there's an issue with the device itself.
    First try resetting it:

    I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G.  My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes.  The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync.  During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync"  then immediately goes to "finished syncing".   No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

    You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
    It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
    - If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
    --- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
    iOS: How to back up
    --- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

  • I just downloaded a new version of OS7 to my iphone and when I try to sync with my mac book pro it will not finish and just spins around at the last step.  anyone help?

    I just downloaded a new version of OS7 to my iphone and when I try to sync with my mac book pro it will not finish and just spins around at the last step.  anyone help?

    It was telling you that you needed Mac OS 10.6.8 or later, not itunes 10.6.8
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later"

  • HT1386 mac itunes is current but not good enough for mini. how to get min to sync?

    The Mac itunes is current but not the same as the mini.  Do i have to purchase software in order to add another device the mini onto my growing pile of apple?  Will this upgrade effect the other older apple devices running older versions?

    What is the OS on your Mac and what version of iTunes? For the OS version click on the Apple logo in the top left corner then About this Mac.

  • Since installing the latest Itunes my phone does not auto sync as before, how can I set this up?

    Since i updated to the newest ITunes my phone does not automatically sync as it did before. I am not able to locate my pictures or music or apps to set to auto sync. I receive no message that tells when the phone was last backed up to ICloud. I have several songs on ITunes under ICloud that are in the waiting status. This is all confusing. I have clicked on every available option.
    Thank you

    I'm afraid at this point a backup can't be created anymore and the phone has been damaged too much by the water.
    You'll have to get it replaced and use the latest existing backup you have.

  • Itunes on my Mac 10.4.11 does not recognize my iphone

    itunes on my Mac 10.4.11 does not recognize my iphone 4S
    also, once I plug in my iphone, it is recognized as a camera, but nothing to do with music.
    if i have to upgrade software, how do i do that?

    You get Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD if you have a PowerPC G4 or G5 Mac, or Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD if you have an Intel Mac. If you're using a G3 Mac, you need a newer computer.

  • I am not able sync iPhone wireless with iTunes ? In the past i could able to do it.

    I am not able sync iPhone/Ipad wireless with iTunes ? In the past i could able to do it but now i can't. This problem has started from my recent update. Any suggestions are welcome.

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

  • While watching a tv show in itunes the audio is not in sync with the character mouth movement

    while watching a tv show in itunes the audio is not in sync with the character mouth movement

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I believe the default transfer option for TV Shows is to transfer all unplayed TV Shows. If you've already played them, this may be the reason they are not transferring any longer. Double check the preferences:
    1) Connect your iPod to the computer and select it when it appears in iTunes under source (on the left).
    2) Click the TV Shows tab
    3) Make sure it is set to transfer all TV Shows, not just unplayed ones.
    4) Click Apply/Ok

  • Running xp itouch will not finish sync

    I have been to the apple store and checked with my internet provider and my security provider and my itouch still will not finish syncing.
    After trying for several minutes it freezes my computer.

    They said everything looks like it should work. They uninstalled all components and reinstalled them in order according to your web instructions and it didn't make any difference.
