Please Wait Updating Library

It took 8+ hours to sync my iPad, we have lots of photos. On my iPhone the photos are 14.49G and on iPad 14.39G. When I try to view the photos on my iPad I get a screen which says "Please Wait Updating Library" and after a few minutes it just goes back to the home screen.
I have 800M free on the 32G model. I just removed lots of TV shows so now have 4.84G free on iPad, but still same behavior. Also when I just synced it, the iPad crashed and I had to do a hard reset to recover (Holding home and power button to reboot)

I found an interesting thing about the iPad "Crashing" to the Apple Logo with an off-centered rotating bar - it is, in fact, not crashed. If you keep the iPad connected to the computer, you can click "Sync" or "Apply" and recover the iPad without doing the 5 minute long hard reset. I am still looking at Events as the troublemaker, but I can't seem to pinpoint what is happening. It doesn't seem to be an "Event Limit" as I was able to sync 407 events fine, 417 then a crash, then 407 events again with a crash.
I can sync the last 12 months of events just fine, and a handful of others that I selected.
As far as this all goes, I think it's something deep within the code that we won't be able to fix with workarounds. I've sent a bug report to Apple, and the ball seems to now be in their court.

  • Photo browser stuck (please wait, updating library - forever)

    I have iPad 1 64 GB Wifi for few days, I have just few photos there and suddenly, when I open photo browser, there is only "please wait, updating library " message" forever. I tried to remove all the photos via itunes - no improvement. I added - the same. What happened ? How to make it working again ? Thank you

    Thank you , in the end resetting photo application helped. As a new iPad user, I did not know that after double pressing home button, you get the list of active applications and you can switch them off ... now I know ..

  • Photo synching reads 'Please wait, updating library'?

    Hi, synching OK with all other features of iTunes however my photo library just has the message: 'updating library, please wait'. It never stops & so I need help please.
    Running Windows Vista & no issues with my iPod Touch.

    Have you looked at the past discussions on this same problem? You can easily find them by using the search function the right and search the iPad forum for "updating library". There is one page of results for the last 90 days.

  • OS 3.1.2 Update didn't fix the "updating library, please wait a few minutes

    I was hoping that the software update would fix the "Updating library, please wait a few minutes" screen that comes up when I try to play a song on my ipod touch after syncing. Is this bizarre "updating library" delay going to be a permanent feature of the ipod touch now? Could someone from Apple please clarify if you are trying to fix this, or is this just the way it is now?
    If you (Apple) aren't going fix it, I hope you make it known in your marketing for the ipod touch that you can't listen to your songs immediately. If you don't disclose this, I sure hope the Zune touch people make a big deal out of it when promoting their mp3 player. I woudn't have bought an ipod touch if I had known I had to wait 2-10 minutes to listen to a song.

    I suspect there's something else going on here... I'm having terrible trouble syncing films, and even tho they are clearly there, they don't seem to load in the list... I noticed that especially if I had dropped my network connection - the list would disappear (and this is on multiple touches)... It then starts to look very like my issues on Apple TV, where if it cannot verify the film back throught the network to the store, it deletes the content from your box... I suspect that each time it loads on the touch, it's doing some kind of 'legitimacy' verify, and that's what's causing the problem.... If I crash the sync just before the end, the re-index seems to work okay, but there is still that slight delay....

  • My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

    My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
    Step 1
    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
    From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select My Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them is marked with a red "X" as expired or invalid, delete it. Also delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name, whether valid or not.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to  CRL.
    Log out and log back in.
    Step 2
    Hold down the option key and select
              Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
              Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
              Caches/com.apple.Messages
              Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
              Containers/com.apple.iChat
              Containers/com.apple.soagent
              IdentityServices
    Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
    Step 3
    Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
              Messages
    Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
    If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
    Step 4
    In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
              com.apple.iChat
              com.apple.ids
              com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
              com.apple.imessage
              com.apple.imservice
    Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
    Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
    Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
    If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

  • Windows 8.1 stuck on "please wait" after update

    Hello. I recently got a new hp all in one 23-p010 about 2 weeks ago, and i have run into a problem. Last night i was getting ready for bed so i pressed update and shut down, and windows began to update and shut down like normal. The next morning, i turn it on it and i see the hp logo, then as its booting i see a blue sceen with the word "please wait". Now this has happened before but it leaves in seconds so i thought it was normal, however it has been hours and the screen has not disappeared. I cannot boot into my computer. I have tried shut downs but nothing. I really could use some help here. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Contact HP ASAP. If the refund/exchange window is open then take it back to th retailer.
    You have a hardware problem.

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • I tried to import 2 photos from an email. The photos are now on iPhoto, however, when I try to close iPhoto or turn off my computer, I get a notice that says, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."

    I tried to import 2 photos from an email to iphoto. The photos now appear in iphoto as the latest imports, However, when I try to close iphoto or log off of my computer, I get a message box that says, " Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the import to complete."
    I can't get out of iphoto or log off of my computer, or turn the computer off. How do I stop the import or log out of iphoto???

    Try Force-quit from the Apple-menu to close iPhoto.

  • My 3rd gen iTouch is stuck on the "updating library" screen - I can't listen to any music and it's been like this for almost 24 hours. I only added about 200 songs, please help.

    So I added about 200 songs to my iTocuh yesterday, and it has been stuck on the "updating library" screen under Music ever since then. I did add the music in stages - as in, I added some songs, then got some more and plugged the iPod in again (maybe this has something to do with it). I would restore the iPod, but I have music on it that is not on my Macbook and I don't want to lose that music. Help please!

    Correction: I plugged my iPod back into my mac, it backed up/updated etc. and now when I go to my music, it returns me to the home screen. What is going on!?

  • I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto.  I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library.  Please wait for import to complete."  I do not know where the photos would be importing from.

    I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto.  I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library.  Please wait for import to complete."  I do not know where the photos would be importing from.  How do I get it to proceed?

    After Force Quitting, as LarryHN recommended,
    Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
    Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "Show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
    Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
    Then launch iPhoto again.
    If iPhoto now is working again, check the folder you removed, if there are any photos that you want to keep and save them.

  • Stuck in 'Please Wait' after few automatic Updates

    As usual there were some pending updates in the LOG IN Screen of my lappy. So, I selected the "Update and Restart " button. That's it after that BOOM. I have been stuck in "Please  Wait" screen ever since. Any suggestions for a quick recovery will be helpful .    

    You might need to go to a Verizon Wireless corporate store and have them assist you with getting the SIM cards activated and then the phones activated.

  • When I get the Please wait... message and have the latest Adobe update why won't the document open?

    When I get the Please wait... message and have the latest Adobe update why won't the document open?

    What is your operating system?  Reader version ("latest" means nothing)?
    Is this a local or only PDF?  If online, in what browser?

  • A suggestion--please make Itunes behave better when updating library

    Whenever iTunes is running Updating Library, if I switch to another application, every 15-20 seconds iTunes pulls itself back and gives itself top level focus. I KNOW the library is updating. Why do I need to be reminded of this every 15 seconds. Basically, while the library is updating, I can't use my computer for anything else. Please make the "Updating Library" window stay in the background when the user has tabbed away to another application. Thanks!

    May want to leave feedback here:

  • Latest Windows 8.1 update doesn't let me login, "Please wait..." is constantly there

    Last night (April 20, 2015), I performed a Windows update on my HP Enxy x360 2-in-1, model # 15-u010dx.  After performing the update, the computer restarted.  After restarting, my wallpaper came up (not my Desktop wallpaper, but the one that you see previous to logging in) and when I dragged the wallpaper up it was a black screen that said "Please wait...".  I left it like that for a pretty long time, probably about 20 minutes, before I first restarted it.  Then I left on a few other times before restarting each time... maybe a total of about 3-4 restarts last night.  
    No matter what screen I'm on, the wall paper or "please wait", there is no response to CTRL+ALT+DEL or to Shift+F8 as I've read in other forms; there's no response to any key strokes I've tried.  One thing to note is that on the wallpaper screen, at the bottm left corner it shows my battery power and it also shows the internet as not connected - it doesn't seem to detect a network.  After the last Windows update, I've had to manually disable/enable my wireless card every time I opened up my laptop - it's somethign i've looked up on other forums and there doesn't seem to be any type of resolution for it.  But that's not the problem... the main problem is being stuck on the "please wait" screen.  Anyone have any tips or solutions???

    Hi @BKDaveHP ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP ENVY x360 - 15-u010dx Notebook and getting one moment screen or please wait screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset. This document includes helpful information on how to.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook. 
    Hope this helps you.
    Thanks.
