My iPhone goes through most of the steps to synch with iTunes and then stops.  iTunse eventually times out on the synch.  How do I fix this ?

When I try to synch my iPhone 4 with iTunes - both at the latest code levels - the synch goes normally until the last stage where I get the message Finishing sync.   It nevers completes.  Eventually it times out and states that the iPhone is not responding.  On the phone the sync icon has gone away so the iPhone thinks that it is done.

More information.  During the synch process this last time it moved through the first 5 steps fine.  At some point during the "Waiting for items to copy" the iPhone stopped showing the sync icon.

  • HT4528 My iPhone 4s would not sync - it kept canceling.  I backed it up and did a full system restore.  Now it won't restore my apps.  It starts on 1 of 51 and then tells me it's canceling sync and it stops.  My apps are all black. How do I fix this?

    My iPhone 4S kept canceling while syncing.  In the Apple support communities, it was recommended that I do a full system restore. I backed the phone up and did the restore.  Now it won't finish the restore process.  It gets to where it will restore the apps and it says "copying 1 of 51", and then it cancels the sync.  I have no apps on the phone - they are all black and they say "waiting". How do I get the apps reloaded on the phone?  Do I have to delete them all and redownload them? I'm not even sure that will work.  Do I go to Verizon and ask if they can fix it?  Any suggestions?

  • My iPhone is disabled but it won't let me hook up to iTunes and there's no way to get into it. How do I fix this!?!?!

    I haven't used my phone in a while due to junk.. But I need it now for multiple reasons and since I have gotten the password wrong countless times it says its now disabled. And to hook up to iTunes. When I hookup to iTunes it says it can't register my phone because it has a pass code. Ad it tells me to unlock it but I can't even get onto the unlock screen. What can I do?!?!

    If you don't remember your passcode you may have to just restore your phone and start fresh. Follow these Instructions --> http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/16/forgot-iphone-passcode-how-to-reset/
    Good luck!

  • Iphone 4G syncing stalls with Info and Status files. File type is QuickTime Preferences.  How do I fix this?

    iTunes syncing won't complete.  I monitored the backup file and it stalls at the Info & Status files.  They have a File Type of "QuickTime Preferences".  How do I correct the problem?

    1. There is no iPhone "4G" model.  Do you  mean iPhone 4 or 4S?
    2. Try deleting the last backup before syncing:
    iTune prefs > Devices > Backups

  • Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this?

    Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this? This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

    To check for warranty coverage:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for theother 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

  • Have over 86GB of music now showing as "other" and although it is still on my iPod it is not playable.  Most is from imported CDs. I do have a backup file on an external hard drive. How can I fix this?

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

    Hello there, graciecloyd.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers a few steps to try when an application is not functioning as expected:
    iOS: Understanding multitasking
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
    If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
    Check for app updates.
    Force the app to close.
    Restart your device.
    Update your iOS device.
    Learn more about troubleshooting apps.
    On Step 2, close all applicaitons that are open. On Step 3, if the restart doesn't help resolve the issue, you may also want to try the Reset step in that article as well.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
