My itunes freeze when i sync my iphone on my windows 7 laptop. how do i fix it?

my pc freezes every time i sync my iphone 4 and then i have to force shut down

Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with another library, it will erase the current contents of the iPod and replace them with the contents from the new library.
If you have content you need to copy from your iPod back to your iTunes library, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do this.

    i got a brand new iphone 4 today and i set it up as a new phone but when i tried sycing my conacacts etc it jus freesez ive left it for nearly four hurs now its jus not doing anything plz help

    Then why does your profile say "iPhone 4, Other OS, ios 5"??  It would also help if you used punctuation and sentences.
    How far did you get with activation?  Are you syncing your contact with an app on your computer (i.e Outlook)?

    Windows 7, XP, Vista: Click the bottom left and click the start button and navigate to
    ControlPanel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts and click Turn User Account Control On or Off and Turn it OFF.

    Jeremy,
    Thank You for the reply but my issue was not in the attachment you sent.
    iTunes freezes when I attempt to add music to my ipod classic especially playlists I have made.
    iTunes recognizes my ipod but when I "add" that when the issue starts.
    I have my large library on a pc using windows 7. I have no issue adding music to my device on
    my macbook pro but like I said, my 60,000 song plus library is on my pc.
    Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
    Happy Holidays,
    JJ

  • ITunes Freezes, Won't Sync With iPhone

    I am relatively new to the Macbook family. Since I have purchased my Macbook air, the only complaint I have had is with iTunes. I have every upgrade that has been pushed out. The problem started when I first imported my library from an external hardrive, nothing would copy over, I reformatted the drive to work better with the Macbook and lost 8000+ songs. No big deal to me because it was time to clean a lot of the collection out. Now the external hardrive is fresh and formatted correctly. I have changed my library location to the hardrive and my music will show up in the library and play. However, it freezes all the time. The other issue I have is when I try to sync my iPhone 5 nothing will copy over, it starts then just gives me a message that itunes could not copy to iphone because the file could not be read or written. It makes no sense to me since all the files will play. Not sure what to do, I've done a million searches and nothing. I hate to say it by my iTunes, external harddrive and iPhone all worked flawlessly on my Windows machine. Any suggestions would be appreciated before I make a call to Apple Care.
    Thanks!

  • Why is itunes freezing when i sync to my touch

    Everytime I use Itunes it freezes and im am using the newest version with windows XP.  Then if i try to sync my Ipod touch it freezes what is up with this and why is everyone having the same issue.  Is it because of the iCloud that i am having these problems.  I origianly signed up for iCloud but then realized that it did not sync all my music on to my ipod because i didn't buy more memory.  WHAT IS GOING ON CAN ANYONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
    I've restarted my iPhone.
    Restarted my iMac.
    Re-installing iTunes.
    Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
    Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
    All with no success.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • I had my computer worked on.  When I got it back I had to reinstall itunes.  When I synced my iphone, I lost all my contacts.  How do I get them back?

    I had my computer worked on recently.  When I got it back, I had to reinstall itunes.  I synced my iphone and lost all my contacts.  How do I get them back?

    Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
    Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service?  Then they're gone.

  • Music disappeared and ITunes freezes when re-syncing: Help!

    Yesterday all my music, photos, and video vanished from my 60 gb iPod. Naturally I tried to re-sync, but ITunes freezes every time I plug it in and immediately unfreezes when I unplug. The error message says "The iPod cannot be synced. The required folder could not be found." I went into preferences and checked "prevent devices from syncing automatically," but the iPod still tries to sync when I plug it in and it is impossible for me to adjust any settings within ITunes.
    I tried the check disk utility and my computer locks up. I also tried the manual reset, which seems to work, but I can't get the Disk Mode to work properly. When I looked in my iPod utilities, it said that iPod was almost full, yet I can't find any music or playlists despite being able to navigate the menus.
    Since the iPod itself seems to be working, I'd hate to have to junk this because some settings can't be adjusted. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Try putting the iPod into [Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363] to stop it from continuously rebooting. Then again attempt to restore the iPod through iTunes. Otherwise it may be the signs of a failing hard drive.
    I would maybe check up on taking advantage of the warranty you have on it.

  • ITunes freezes when iPod syncs

    Recently my iTunes freezes everytime my ipod syncs. I don't know the causes for it and when I try to add songs or videos it will freeze up everytime. Does anybody have a clue about this? My iPod is 4th generation iPod and I'm using a mac.
    Thank you

    - Try a reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Try just backing up the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. If successful then you can restore the iPod.
    - Also try here:
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    - However, you say you have Windows 9, that maybe causing the problem.

  • ITunes freezing when I sync 60GB Ipod, podcasts not completely downloading

    I've got a pentium 4 3.0 with 1GB of RAM running winXP pro. I just re-installed winxp after formatting the HD so everything should be clean. All it has on it is WinXP, Office 2007, Photoshop, and Itunes. When I connect my ipod, a 60GB video, itunes will freeze the entire computer up for a few minutes while it syncs. Also, many podcasts, most notobly "This american life" will only download about halfway (an hour long podcast will be 15 minutes or so long). This happens pretty consistently. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
