My itunes keep freezing mid sync

I try and sync my iphone 5s to my itunes but it freezes right after it backs up and i tried restarting my computer but it still freezes and i dont understand why

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • My iTunes keeps freezing during syncing and wont let me put any music on. What do I do?

    I have a PC and the newest iPod touch. I was receiving error message -54 while syncing recently so i checked on this site and found out that some of my files could be locked. Sure enough I went through all of my files, found and deleted all the locked ones and wiped my itunes. I then kept getting a error message telling me that the sync session couldn't start. Then I wiped my ipod and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times. But each time I try to sync my ipod, itunes freezes and I have to restart the entire program. I am at a complete loss as to what to do. I have tried everything I could, and have had no luck. The program keeps freezing on me and doens't allow me to sync my ipod or my ipad, so it would seem to be a problem with my itunes but I don't know what to do, nevermind how to fix it.

    You will lose all of the content on the ipod, but you will have to restore.  If you cannot then follw this:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • ITunes keeps freezing while syncing iPhone 4s

    Hi all,
    This is an issue which seemingly came out of nowhere... sometime early-mid June, my iTunes stopped working with my Iphone 4s. This has been plaguing me since, and no matter what I have tried, nothing seems to be working. I have been reading through all sorts of related threads, but nothing seems to be working. iTunes has no problems recognizing the iPhone, whether over wireless or wired. When I attempt to sync my phone via wifi, it prompts me saying the session failed to start because the iPhone can not be found, or it simply disappears from the left bar. While trying to sync the phone via USB, the sync session starts as normal, backs up with no issue, transfers app purchases, etc, and proceeds to the final stages to update the music on my phone (sometimes Step 5, sometimes Step 6, and sometimes Step 7).
    EVERYTIME without fail since the issue started, iTunes will completely freeze and render itself unresponsive. During the music sync, it may sync as many as 300 songs before freezing, or as few as 2. The spinning arrows indicating it is syncing stop rotating, and there is no functionality with iTunes and I am forced to start the Task Manager and End Program, or more often than not, completely reboot my computer.
    I have tried multiple solutions presented in various threads, to no avail. I have tried restoring my phone, which gave me the most hope during the process, but sure enough, on the final step and syncing music, it froze at song 271 of 600.
    Can someone PLEASE provide some insight into this issue? I know plenty of other people have experienced this, I am hoping to solve this soon as I am sure you can all understand it is EXTREMELY frustrating.
    As a side note, I have plugged my iPad 2 in (also running iOS 5.1.1), and it worked fine!?
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you received any resolution on this?  I've been having the same problem for some time and it was working intermittently, no not at all.  NEED HELP PLEASE!!!

  • Ipod and itunes(especially itunes)will freeze while syncing

    i pod and itunes will freeze while syncing, all apps are there, but no music?Itunes says ipod has latest updates, I reinstalled  Itunes, powered off/ sleep  a couple times still not syncing any help? Thanks

    Which application are you watching the videos..... QuickTime, VLC, etc.?  Which version?  If QT are you using v10 or v 10.7.x?  The latter is located inside your Utilities folder.  If using VLC, you should  be using the latest version. 
    Type of video files = .mov, .mp4, .mkv, etc.? 

  • ITunes keeps freezing on me.

    I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and previously when using iTunes (running latest software) all has been ok. Over the last few days I have noticed that Itunes keeps 'freezing' . when I click on the icon, iTunes opens, then tries to connecyt to the Store. The progression bar stops at half way and the whole programme freezes. I hav etries deleting and re installing, but still the same problem. Please help!
    Thanks,
    Chris 

    I have this issue too. I have tried all the things suggested on other posts but none work.
    Re-Installed iTunes ........
    Shutdown restart .......
    Used Task Manager to see if syncserver.exe was running on my other account but could not find it...
    Nothing works ......... but I can replicate the problem each time I select Preferences.
    I have just openned up 2 User accounts on the computer and from what I have read it seems that the problem is restricted to computers with more than one User Account.
    Why oh why do Apple make it such hard work to run 2 of it's purchased devices off one computer, if they could only work on a way to sort this problem out we wouldn't need to go around the houses to try to find fixes.

  • My iPod keeps 'freezing' mid play, even after re-booting.

    My iPod keeps 'freezing' mid play, even after re-booting.

    Do you have a 6G Nano?  If so, this is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure you cannot see any silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  It may require a little extra force to get the headphones to become fully inserted.  You should hear a sort of clicking noise indicating that they have been fully seated.
    Also check the headphone port from a damage or debris.

  • ITunes keeps freezing no matter what I try. No that it controls all my music, and doesn't work, what am I supposed to do?

    It seems that iTunes doesn't want to work. I've reinstalled, ugraded and restarted my computer. But nothing seems to work iTunes keeps freezing. Now it's just a useless app on my computer. It controls all the music and it's taken many hours to be bothered to use it, now that I depend on it it doesn't work. Is there another more reliable program that organizes and transfers music to iPods? Or am I just stuck with the music thats on my iTunes?
    I'm not really impressed and that my family has many apple products that are mainly run by this one piece of software is mind bogglling.
    Are there older versions of iTunes to use? because before this last update I had no issues.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Itunes keep crashing on sync with ipad

    itunes keeps crashing on sync with ipad. Eveyrthing was good up until the 5th of june. any ideas

    If you have tried 1, 2 & 3 below, next thing I'd try is call Apple support at this link: http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
    Or you can take it to an Apple store to see an expert.
    1) Deinstall and reinstall itunes on the computer.
    2) On the ipad, Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
    3) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
