New iPhone 3G handset causing iTunes 10.1.1, to crash while syncing.

My old handset broke and I have recently been sorted out a new one from Apple as mine was under warranty. These were both iPhone 3Gs operating OS 4.2.1. After getting the new phone, I was told to simply plug it in to my PC (running Windows Vista), and click 'Restore from Backup' in iTunes (I have iTunes 10.1.1) and it would sync my apps/music/photos etc so that my new handset would be back to how my original handset was. However, after pressing sync, my phone did half of the sync and then iTunes froze to say 'Not Responding'. This happens time and time again, and the only way I am able to restore anything is by syncing 5 apps at a time, or 20 songs at a time. It cannot complete the full backup -> sync complete without iTunes freezing. This NEVER happened before with my old handset as well. Is this something anyone else has had problems with when they have swapped handsets? Are there any solutions at all? Any help would be great as this is really frustrating!!

My lap top crashed. How do I sync phone to new laptop?

My laptop craped the bed and I'm trying to sync iPhone to my wife's laptop, but it's not working. I don't understand why. What am I doing wrong??

You should always maintain a back up of important info/music/pics on an external drive, dvd, etc.
You should never only have data in one place only.
The iphone music sync is one way.
You can transfer itunes purchased music. In itunes, with iphone connected, click file>transfer purchases.
If you enter at least one contact and calendar entry, you will get the option to merge the data at the first sync.

Whenever I try to sync my 3gs to my laptop itunes only gives me two options: set up as new iphone or restore to a backup. I already mistakenly restored the phone to a previous back up and the options are still the same. I am using itunes 10.4.1.10.

Back in March my PC crashed while updating my Iphone 3Gs. Both froze and were rendered unusable. The Iphone had to be restored to factory settings in order to be used. The PC required more work and was delayed by warranty issues. In the meantime I bought a laptop and installed the newest version of Itunes. Itunes recognizes my phone but only comes up as "Set up your Iphone" with two subsequent options: set up as new iphone or restore from back up. I have mistakenly chosen the option to restore it back to July 2, 2011 when I last synced. No big deal, but it will not let me go beyond that screen and I cannot transfer my recovered apps or anything else. Any help on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have an iPod that has music from CD's that I no longer have. The iPod was synced to an old computer that crashed. My current iPhone and my old iPod share an itune's account. Is there a way I can transfer my music from my old iPod to my new computer?

I have an old iPod touch with songs from CD's I no longer have (so they weren't purchased on iTunes). The computer that the songs were synced on crashed a while ago. Is there a way I can sync my old iPod to my new computer and retrieve those songs to get them on my new iPhone? They share an Apple ID and iTuens account.

Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

Hard drive crashed. how do I transfer from iphone 3gs to itunes on new computer?

My hard drive crashed. I installed iTunes on my new computer. How do I transfer my information on iphone 3gs onto the new iTunes?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone. Without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases Authorize your computer for your itunes account first.
If you sync to a blank computer, then your contacts and calendars will be erased as well. Another reason to always maintain a backup.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer. When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I connected my new iphone 4 to itunes but now it wont recognise my old 3gs. My name doesnt appear on the left. i want to transfer all my songs to my new one but cant sync now. can anyone help

i connected my new iphone 4 to itunes before backing up my old one but now it wont recognise my old 3gs. My name doesnt appear on the left. i want to transfer all my songs to my new one but cant sync now. can anyone help

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

ERROR MESSAGES WHILE SYNCING IPHONE 3GS WITH ITUNES 11.0.1

ERROR MESSAGES WHILE SYNCING IPHONE 3GS WITH ITUNES 11.0.1
I just upgraded to iTunes 11.0.1 and although my music, podcast and apps sync with my iPhone 3GS (Version 4.1), iCal and Address Book doesn't! I get the following error messages:
After clicking OK, another dialog box appears that states:
Also, iSync has this to say:
Until the upgrade, I had no problems syncing my iPhone 3GS with iTunes!
How can I correct this new issue?
Thank you very much in advance,

Mmmmmm how strange.... have just closed and reopened and problem seems to have cleared.....

I have an old iphone 3gs which is backed up on itunes. bought a new iphone 4gs and need to back it up. will syncing new phone erase old 3gs data?

This is not very iTunes Public Site Manager related... but I was in the same situation as you a little while ago.
1 - Sync/back up your old 3gs.
2 - Activatie your new phone when connected to itunes via cable and it will ask you if you want to restore our old phone.
3 - ???
4 - profitt!
might also work with icloud but i have not tried that method.

Itunes crashes while syncing photos to 3gs

I'm running a new pc with win7, itunes 10 and an iphone 3gs with os 4.1. All apps and video sync fine. the problem is when I have the iphone open in the devices column, and i click on the photo tab, the option to sync selected folders is greyed out. I then click on the my pictures tab and go to choose folder, itunes crashes completly.
I have tried the delete the ipod photo cache folder route, but that hasn't made a difference. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

I am having exactly the same problem with my iPad, would be great if we could get some support!
Have tried deleteing/renaming the iPad Photo Cache folder, no love. Reinstalled iTunes, restored the ipad, and still nothing.
Please help!

TS1538 I cannot sync my iPhone 3GS after upgrading to a new computer and installing iTunes

i am trying to sync my iPhone 3GS to a new computer. I downloaded and installed iTunes and copied over the iTunes folder into My Music. Unfortunately iTunes on the new computer does not recognize my iPhone.
- The old computer was running windows XP OS 32bit. My new computer is running Windows 7, 64 bit.
- I have installed iTunes on the new computer. Windows OS recognizes the iPhone but iTunes does not. I have uninstalled and reinstall iTunes a few times now. On one reinstall, i recieved the following messages: "an iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again". Upon trying again, i recieved this message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an invalid response was received from the device".
every other time, nothing happens other that Windows prompting that the iPhone is detected. Any suggestions appreciated.
thanks, Singletrack200

Made a new folder and that solved my problem

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. Help!

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!

The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

ITunes 10.0.1.22 still crashes when trying to sync iPod Touch or iPhone 3GS

The crash occurs every time iTunes is syncing with the two devices and at the forth stage when iTunes is copying music to the devices, and it seems to occur when one of the songs purchased at iTunes Store is being copied??? Is there any utility to check the integrety, etc of the mpeg 4 files in my iTunes Library??? IF it is this one song that is causing the crash, am I entitled to get the song again from the iTunes Store without charge?

Two iPhone 2g's crash - iPad works fine.
Me too- Crash on my podcast sync, but I'm able to transfer purchases in. My second 2g iphone is the same. My iPad syncs audio/all just fine. I wasn't interested in upgrading to 10 for this very reason, but I had to. I have it backed up to itunes on a W7 netbook. I then try to use my main computer. I have to setup as a new phone. Everything else syncs until the audio. Same account, same network, same shares but I have to pick a computer. Great Plan! This has been broken for a month. Is there a phone number for support of my 275 apps?

I have recently got a new windows lap top and transfered by itunes library to it successfully. i cannot however sync downloads to my ipod classic and my lap top is not recognising the ipod at all. Please help ! Thank you.

I have recently changed lap tops and moved my itunes library successfully.
However I cannot now synce my ipod classic with the new windows pc.
The lap top is not recognising the ipod.
I have spoken to apple and they think its a settings issue on my pc ? I have fully deleted and then reinstalled itunes .
can any one help ? This should be easy to resolve but appears to be a common issue when looking on the web.
Thank you

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.
