My iPhone 3gs crashes when syncing songs(windows vista 32bit) )

i have a iphone 3gs running lastest software on lastest itunes version. when i sync my iphone when it gets to the music itunes crashes halfway through syncing songs. i tried uninstalling itunes 3 times, restarting phone. restarting computer, everything. please help

Hi Sarah,
Is the PC showing a blue screen after connecting the iPhone? If it does the information in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502 may help.
Try updating any Logitech QuickCam/Webcams, Lexmark scanners, or built-in media card readers that are attached or built into your PC.

  • Treo 750 syncing w/ Windows Vista 32bit

    I have a Treo 750 that I had synced with windows xp. Ever since I "upgraded" to windows vista I have not been able to sync.  The computer won't even recognize the phone as connected.  Here is what I have and what I have tried already.  I have, as mentioned, the Treo 750 running windows mobile 5.0/ the laptop was running xp which I had no problems setting up and syncing.  I now have window vista 32bit I guess since when I tried downloading WMDC 64bit it wouldn't support the download, so I have WMDC 32bit. When I downloaded WMDC the treo was connected through a usb cable.  I have uninstalled and re-installed WMDC several times. Sometimes the device manager will not recognize the usb cable and sometimes it does.  When it does recognize the cable it shows a bluetooth symbol and says everything is working properly but when I open up WMDC I am not connected, if I push the sync button nothing happens, if I unplug the usb cable and replug the device manager then will no longer recognize the usb cable. I have also tried everything on the support boards, help forums, you name it I have tried it except a hard reset which I don't want to do until I sync all my info first. Oh yeah the whole reason I am so desperate to sync my phone after such a long time is because my phone constantly freezes up as if I have to much going on which I don't. I have cleaned out every program not necessary so I have tons of memory, so that is not slowing down or freezing my phone. I basically have to soft reset my phone after I do or run 3-4 different applications including phone calls.  ANYONE PLEASE HELP EITHER OF THESE TWO PROBLEMS BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPS ME FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER TRYING TO FIGURE THIS STUPID THING OUT.  THANKS  DAVE
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

    Yeah I have tried that already no luck.  Here are some other things that I forgot to mention. I have another laptop that is running windows xp, this laptop has never been synced to anything. I downloaded Microsoft Activesync but it will not connect to that either. The difference with this computer is that when I plug it into the USB port it makes a sound and when I push the usb sync button it makes a beep followed by another beep.  Lastly I have another Treo (my girlfriends) that when I first tried to sync to WMDC it did not connect but after running troubleshoots I got it to work on both computers. It is so frustrating.

  • Itunes 10.2.2 crash when syncing songs into Iphone 4.3.2

    Just got my iPhone two days ago and as I sat in front of my computer, I was excited about syncing my playlists into my iPhone4 32GB (over 2000 songs). Unexpectedly, it crashed during the process of ''20 out of 2000''. So I thought ''oh, maybe I'm syncing too many at a time?'', I turned the iPhone to maually handle on the songs and decided to put the playlists in one by one BUT it STILL crashes. I was able to put in one whole playlist (one album) at a time but halfway the second playlist, iTunes crashes. Happens EVERYTIME, it's fine if I just plug-in for charging, crashes during sync but it also crashed when I was attempting to download and upgrade my iphone from 4.3 to 4.3.2. I suspect it may be the computer's problem because I uprgraded fine without any crashes on my Acer laptop.
    I've never had this problem before with my iPod Classic 120GB and I'm syncing the same number of songs. I'm operating on Windows XP Professional.
    Any help? D:

    And sometimes, itunes would refuse to detect my phone and give me the pop-up message ''The iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.''

  • Iphone 3GS will not sync with Windows

    I could not get it to sync and the dealer then told me it does not work with Windows 7 so I am returningd it and the other stuff I bought from the apple store and cancelled my order for another one and 2 new macs. The dealer was not too worried. Apple must have so many customers that they do not have to worry about new ones, nice business. Misrepresentation of a products capabilities is one day going to cost them though in my experience. I have bought a 3 ipods which did actually work. iPhone is a product that does not work with Windows 7 and a 1 year old laptop and in the year 2009 that is almost unbelievable and should be told to consumers before they buy and struggle and then realise they have been sold a dud.

    I think you are mixing things up. This is a patch supplied by Intel to motherboards and BIOS (BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM) manufacturers who based their newest motherboards on Intel P55 chipset. To get this fix you update your BIOS. The BIOS is independent of any operating system (it comes with the motherboards already flashed). Has nothing to do with Apple or Microsoft.
    here is a link
    A few days ago we had reported a problem with iTunes sync between the iPhone and PCs equipped with Windows 7 of the Intel P55 chipset. Intel released a patch that solves this problem within seconds. You can download the patch here and then start the installation. Restart your computer and you will see all your sync problems are solved.
    NOTE: If your computer doesen’t feature the specs above, do not install the patch. Otherwise, happy syncing….

  • IPhone ios5 crashes when syncing, iTunes cancels sync

    I updated my iphone 4 to iOS5.
    Since then, only problems.
    My phone start syncing, then it crashes and itunes cancels the sync. My music is greyed out in the iphone music library and won't sync.
    The pictures sync but the event key photos are not the same as in my Aperture.
    This syncing problem is unacceptable. I wouldn't care waiting 6 more months for ios 5, but apple, please make things work! (i won't even get into lions' frustrations).

    I found a way to get the music back on the iphone. But it's not perfect.
    1) I deselected all my playlist. (I use to only select and sync playlists)
    2) synced like that.
    3)  I selected all the artist I wanted and synced again.
    The music synced on my iphone
    4) I then reselected the playlists and synced again, (My playlists are a mix of artists,genre and rattings)
    But now i also have music I don't really want on my iphone.
    Still have the problem with the events keyphotos that are not the same as my aperture keyphotos.

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to the latest iTunes version on my Vista machine. I also had the vbscript installation problem, but registering vbscript helped. However, when I now try to play a song, iTunes stops working completely and crashes!?!.
    Any idea, you guys from Apple?

  • How do I stop all of my music in my itunes library syncing to my iphone 5 even when the songs aren't ticked?

    How do I stop all of my music in my itunes library syncing to my iphone 5 even when the songs aren't ticked?

    The frustrating part about the restore is that is seems to be finished when it in fact is not.  The restore will look "finish" and your phone will be at the Swipe to Unlock screen. If you swipe and look at your home screen at this point of the restore, you'll see everything is not quite right.  While the process seems to be not doing anything just leave the phone attached and do something else for about an hour.  This part of the process is not mentioned during the restore operation.  I believe there are about two steps to the restore process: 1) restore the phone settings (ringtones, background, notification settings, etc.) and give the user the unlock screen; 2) without letting the user know there is still more to do, begin the slow process of restoring all the music, movies, apps and what not.  It's this second step that causes the confusion.  Nothing lets you know to wait that process out.  I've restored a couple devices from a computer backup and the 2-step process looks the same.

  • Why does my iphone 3GS repeat the same song when I choose shuffle?

    Why does my iphone 3GS repeat the same song when I choose shuffle?  It just started doing it today.  I rebooted the phone, I looked to see if th repeat icon was being chosen and I cant even find that anymore!  Help!
    Deb

    You can find the Additional Audio Controls as described here, to check if "repeat song" is also activated.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf page 94
    Additional Audio Controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen.
    The repeat, Genius, and shuffle controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.
    Use the scrubber bar to skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the scrub rate from high-speed to fine by sliding your finger down as you drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.

  • ITunes 10.4 crashing when syncing music

    I'm having a major problem after upgrading to iTunes 10.4 for Windows.  I'm now randomly crashing when syncing music to my Ipad 2.   It seems some sync fine and then all the sudden it crashes.
    The crash I'm getting is:
    AppName: itunes.exe     AppVer: 10.4.0.80     ModName: quicktime.qts
    ModVer: 7.69.80.9     Offset: 001cd746
    What's odd is that it's even crashing on audio podcasts that I downloaded on my iPad 2 which are being synced to my PC without issue, but then cause it to crash when syncing back.
    I had no problems with 10.3.1 or earlier.

    This is long, jump to the end if you don’t care about my new life problem! And sorry for my English, I’m not a native English speaker! Also, I’m just posting this stuff so people with this issue don’t have to try it all also.
    ok, so my problem started with the ipad 2; i had a lot of pictures there but wanted to change the "stupid" way (for a windows addict) that apple arranges, or not, folders hierarchy. I deleted every single picture and imported my new structure (in windows). Useless to say that i got stuck here. i tried 100 times and i got the quicktime.qts module error (iTunes crashing). Good to know, obv, but what do i know of quicktime!? nothing...
    Since i have an iPhone 4, and the iPhone only ever carried pictures taken with it, never had synced pictures before i decided to give it a try. same error…Ok, now i know the problem isn't in the devices but in iTunes itself, Quicktime, most likely.
    Not happy with this conclusion, i decided to restore factory settings on both ipad 2 and iPhone 4 (4.3.5 ios). Gave it another try, after deleting every ipod photo cache folder in my library and re-installing iTunes completely (i tried re-installing before devices restoring with same error). No luck here either...
    Went to discussion boards and figured a lot of people are having this issue, so i thought it’s probably in the iTunes 10.4 update, since i didn’t have a backup of my previous library, and i have 20000 songs, and didn’t want to lose the only library i had, i opted not to install previous iTunes version because i knew my library wouldn’t work and i rather have a decent library with no videos, than videos with a new library to build. So I didn’t try this.
    i tried everything, there's a post that a guy, a while ago, resolved this issue (or similar) simply by deauthorizing and reauthorizing computer, or just by logging in to his iTunes account... other person resolved his issue by logging on a new windows account and syncing with a "clean" iTunes then moving to his previous account. Or deleting some quicktime files and folders that are on system32 folder, besides the 2 files that are needed... i only had the 2 needed files, no more! I tried it all, no luck.
    Somewhere i read it could have to do with quicktime not being the default video player for .mov files, so i made it, still no luck.
    My last try was messing with the registry looking for "stupid leftovers" of quicktime, a lot of them i knew shouldn’t be there and i deleted, but i was still stuck on the crash error. for this i removed iTunes, cleaned computer from apple stuff (all but my library files that i backed up),
    cleaned registry and installed everything back again.in the meanwhile, no sure when, i figured since this could have something to do with quicktime (i noticed that it gets stuck when starting to optimize videos), i created a test folder with one picture and 1 video and I managed to pass through optimizing process. tried with 3 movies, after emptying the device and deleting cache folder (like from scratch), but Kabooom, crashed again. tried same thing, but first i opened the movies in quicktime in windows, then synced and it worked!! probably this could be the solution, tried with my whole library (2k+ photos and about 100 movies) but crashed again... probably i forgot/messed up to open some movie in quicktimes pior to syncing, but well, i was fed up with .mov files, or .mp4, m4v, FWIW (i tried them all).
    After this (i only did all this because I’m computer addicted!) i rested my case, i posted on the forums and had 2 choices: wait for apple to solve this, if they care or Format my PC and probably be getting the same error, this is the only thing i didn't try cause i have lots of stuff to backup and configure, and lots of onetime license software...
    I kept doing stuff with computer, installed a bunch of software (not related to this but related to DVD and movie editing stuff), after i stopped working i retried again, Meh, cleaned everything and got thru once with my new test folder (with different videos and pictures), but when i went to my REAL folders, APPCRASH again. Broke my mouse (apple owes me this!), stopped working and went to sleep.
    I was real convinced this could have something to do with video encoding/decoding stuff. And also about quicktime
    Now, the only thing working for me was:
    Opening movies in quicktime prior to syncing (worked once or twice)
    syncing right after I turned on the computer, but only small folders.
    Makes me think problem is in the processor, since it eats a lot of CPU and memory at the end of a 1000 picture and videos sync. And it crashes when starting to optimize videos, sometimes I see it passes like 2 or 3 movies and crashes after. That’s why I can sync small folders right after I turn on my computer, but with big folders itunes just lags my windows wayyyy to much and at the end (when gets to optimizing videos) is really hot and slow, and crashes, I could make 1 video at a time but I believe itunes should work for itself without these “workarounds”.
    I’m a computer guy and an application that uses up almost all computer CPU when “working” and “eats” way too much RAM is not a  solid application… in this part itunes *****.

  • IPhone 3GS will not sync calendars because the sync server failed.   Just installed Outlook 2010.  Is there a fix for this?

    My iPhone 3GS could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone.    Just installed Outlook 2010.   Is there a fix for this?

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • Iphone 3Gs will not sync to itunes

    My iPhone 3Gs will not sync to my iTunes on my PC.  I updated to the new iOS software 6.1.3 to see if that made a difference and it did not.  Any help would be appreciated. 
    Ken

    Tim, it was going through the motions but when it went to sync to songs it completed the process in less than 5 seconds.  And I have over 1700 songs I was trying to sync.  ooops !!    I just figured it out right after I posted the above post.  When on the "Summary" tab down at the bottom it was checked "only sync checked songs" .  Once I unchecked it, it started syncing fine.  SORRY !  :-)

  • FIXED (for me at least): iPhone 3gs will not sync with Gateway NV79

    I’ve spent months trying to fix this miserable problem with getting my iPhone 3gs to sync with my new Gateway NV79. Gateway will not help. Their technical support is genuinely worthless. Microsoft blames Apple and Apple blames Gateway.
    My old iPod Nano syncs to my Gateway NV79 without a problem. I’ve tried all of the proposed fixes but other posters with no success.
    But I do believe I’ve discovered a real fix (for me at least). Here’s my setup:
    • Gateway NV79 running Windows 7 64 bit edition
    • iTunes 10
    • iPhone 3gs running OS 4.02
    The USB ports needs tweaking to get the iPhone 3gs to sync to the Gateway NV79. Follow these steps without your iPhone 3gs connected to the Gateway NV79:
    Step 1: Go to Control Panel
    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Click Hardware & Sound
    3. Click Power Options
    4. Make sure Balanced is selected and click Change Plan Settings
    5. Click Change advanced power settings
    6. Expand USB Settings
    7. Expand USB selective suspend setting
    8. Change On Battery setting to Disabled.
    9. Change Plugged in setting to Disabled
    10. Click OK
    Step 2: Go to Windows Explorer
    1. Open Windows Explorer
    2. Right-Click Computer (not your computer name)
    3. Click Properties
    4. Click Device Manager
    5. Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    6. Right-click first Generic USB Hub
    7. Click Properties
    8. Click Power Management
    9. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    10. Click OK
    11. Right-click second Generic USB Hub
    12. Click Properties
    13. Click Power Management
    14. Uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    15. Click OK
    16. Restart your computer
    After your computer restarts, login and connect your iPhone.
    You must complete both steps. Step 1 is required for Step 2 to stick.
    There are a few things that may happen. iTunes may start syncing immediately and fail with an error. Don’t worry. If the sync fails the first time, restart the computer with the iPhone still connected. Now, iTunes will either take you to setup screen to connect your iPhone or the sync may restart. In my case, the setup screen came up and I DID NOT CHOOSE TO RESTORE. Pick the first option to add your iPhone. The sync will restart and may or may not finish. Don’t worry, if the sync fails, restart your computer again with the iPhone still connected and this time the sync will work.
    Here’s the problem: the iPhone 3gs will not sync with the power management enabled for the USB ports on the Gateway NV79.
    Good luck.

    If you cannot update your computer, you will not be able to sync your phone. The requirements are:
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access

    In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
    @TJBUSMC1973-
    I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
    Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
    I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????
