Problems upgrading 3g to 4.2 - Freezing (?) during backup stage

I'm trying to update my 3G to 4.2, and while the phone continues to show "Sync in Progress" the actual progress bar in iTunes just stops scrolling and basically vanishes every time during the "Backing up iPhone" stage. I'm not sure if it's still working... the screen is still illuminated on the phone, I can feel it getting hotter, and my laptop is draining battery as if it's working... but no progress ever appears in iTunes and I've given it up to an hour with no change. Any thoughts?
Thanks in Advance!

Depends on the amount of data, photos, messages etc you have on the iPhone to backup during the sync. My wifes last backup took 2 hours to complete. She has a fully loaded iPhone with 100s and 100s of photos, messages, contacts. If that sounds like your iPhone, it will take a long long time to backup.

My 4th gen ipod won't backup after it froze during a software update to 4.3.5. I had to cancel the backup at the start of the update and now it won't let me backup to my computer, freezes during backup or says my backup is corrupted.

I pressed 'X' during a backup after it froze during an update to software 4.3.5 and now it won't let me backup on my computer. Does anyone have any ideas? It either freezes during backup or says my 'backup is corrupted' or 'I cannot backup on my computer'. I have had to abort quite a few attempted backups since the initial problem, which I think has made it worse. I have already tried restoring my ipod, deleting the aborted backup from my preferences/devices in itunes and deleting it from my user/appdata/etc on my PC hard drive. Any ideas what to try next?

After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?

Upgraded to '11 and it freezes during import, alternatives?

Hi, I "upgraded" to '11 and it will not open. It freezes during startup (during loading) and I am forced to force quit. This is making me nuts and has me seriously reconsidering my near thirty year commitment to Apple. I have scanned the web and while I gather it is a common problem, none of the frequent cures does anything for me. I deleted my Flip program and don't have Divx for example.
So, is it possible to get and install an older version at this point? I read some say the 2006 version was stable. Any reasonable alternatives to iMovie? I am trying to make a time lapse movie using photos taken with the iMotion app on my ipod. Also, can I get my money back from the app store?
I would love some advice or pointers to a thread if this has been covered (hoped it would be in an FAQ somewhere), thanks!
David

I would suggest that you contact Apple at the Contact Us link at the bottom right of this page.

Macbook Pro freezes during Backup

Hi Folks,
I have just upgraded my previous TC 500 GB to a 2 TB version and have since been having a serious problem:
My Macbook freezes (colorful ring of death) completely during backups (only the first backup went through smoothly, all other did not).
The following applies:
1) My wife's Macbook does not have these problems during backup on the same time-capsule
2) My relevant file "sparsebundle" ist about 310 GB big
3) It NOT make a difference, if I'm connected by wifi or by ethernet -> the mac hangs/freezes either way
4) I tried deleting my (not my wife's) sparsebundle yesterday and then doing a "full reset" of the TC. After that I wanted to backup freshly by ethernet over night (wifi was switched off). This morning I found my mac frozen w/o any successful backup done.
5) no logs could be found in the logging widget -> it was empty
6) I ran the long version of Apple Hardware Test just to be sure I wasn't having a RAM issue. But all is well there, no problems found.
7) I did not manually fill in the TC settings again, the TC 2TB was connected to my old TC 500GB and took its settings from it.
My infrastructure is:
2x Airport Express as repeaters running on 7.4.2.
1x 2TB Time Capsule running on 7.5. (but like I said, disabling wifi and connecting by cable made no difference.)
Can anyone help please?
Thanks!

Turns out it was faulty RAM, eventhough they did not show up as faulty in Apple's Hardware Test

Computer freezes during backup

I'm running Snow Leopard on my 2007 MacBook Pro. I bought and installed a 1 T time capsule in December, and it worked fine for about a month. Then it started hanging up during backups; I thought the problem was interference from open programs. I started making a habit of closing everything before backups started. Tonight I waited about 10 minutes for it to finish backing up about 5 m of data; then synchronization came on automatically. Twenty minutes later neither had finished, so I did the only thing that helps: powering off manually. What's the remedy? Does it help to reinstall Snow Leopard, should I return my time capsule, or just forget about automatic backups? Right now, I have to wait at least 5 or 10 minutes after waking it from sleep before I dare to even check my mail.

I experience similar trouble. Time Capsule use kills my iMac.
We are long-time Apple users and I bought a 2TB time capsule to back-up my new iMac. I set-up for a first back-up using ethernet for speed as recommended. The backup data transfer ran at kbits/sec ! It took days for that first run. Since then the iMac performance went through the floor. Every hour (WHY is that not configureable?)
Because when it's working properly, that's best. If it's not working properly, fix it. Then the hourly backups will be quick and rarely noticed, as they are for most folks.
when TimeMachine kicks-in the 3GHz Core 2 Duo iMac becomes unusable - almost completely frozen. It crashes at least 5 times per day. After a few weeks of misery I disconnect the time capsule and life returned to normal. Today, feeling foolishly optimistic, I reconnected the capsule. Instantly the iMac was in trouble. The spinning wheel of death active in every application as I desperately tried to regain enough control to bring up the force-quit menu. Disconnected the capsule but it was too late and I had to use the power button to restart. All my s/w is up-to-date. All instructions followed 'by the book'.
Really? What "book" was that?
If you just want to complain, please disregard this.
If you want some help fixing it, this is the place. Start by following the suggestions in my previous post. If those don't help, post back with what you've done and the results, and provide some clarification: what crashes at least 5 times per day, Time Machine backups or your Mac?
How much data is on your internal HD, and any other disks being backed-up?

Time Machine Freezes During Backup!

Hi there,
When I back up my computer for the first time using Time Machine, it gets to around 53.2 GB. After that, it sits there with the blue progress bar at the same level. Then, i get a message that says I did not eject the disk properly, and then Time Machine alerts me that it could not finish the backup. NOTE: When it says the disk has not been ejected properly, I still see the disk in both Finder and disk utility. Also, I currently have the disk in 2 partitions, but I'm only using the Mac OS X (Journaled) partition for my Time Machine backups. Please help! Like I said, it seems to eject my external hard drive (Hitachi 250 GB Simple Drive) after freezing up for a while. I am able to use other things on my computer the whole time. The only application that was open during the backup was iTunes. Here is the log from Time Machine buddy:

As a first step, launch Disk Utility, select the backup volume, and run "Verify Disk" (NOT "Repair Disk"). It will take a long time to run, maybe hours. If any errors are found, copy all data on the device to another drive, then run "Repair Disk." Be prepared for the possibility that "Repair Disk" may destroy the volume beyond recovery. It may also fail to repair the damage, in which case you should replace the device -- DO NOT erase it and continue to use it.

ITunes sometimes freezes during backup phase of syncing

Usually every day or two when I plug my iPhone in to my Mac to Sync (ios 4.1, iTunes 10) it hangs during the backup phase - even if I leave it for hours. I then disconnect the iphone and shut it down but it hangs when it shuts down (just a spinning wheel). I then force restart it and then it syncs with iTunes and but at the end says it was unable to back it up. I then unplug it and plug it back it and then it syncs and backs up fine again. As I said this doesn't happen everytime I sync my phone but usually once in 4-6 syncs. Any ideas on what might be going on here? It has also happened to me once or twice on my iPad so am wondering if it might be an issue on the iTunes side.

This is exactly what's been happening to my iPad for the last month or two. Backups used to be very, very slow before I installed iOS 4.2 but now I have the same problem with a complete backup hang every 5 or so syncs.
I spoke to someone at the Genius Bar when I was there for another reason the other day and he said it was likely to be something to do with photo syncing but I wasn't clear exactly what aspect of photo syncing was causing the problem. Anyone got any ideas?

IPhone 3GS freezes during Backup

Hi,
I have read the threads but still don't see the solution to the problem I am having.
I cannot backup my iPhone. Itunes runs a backup when I sync my iPhone and I usually cancel out because it takes forever. I have let backup run 12 hours and still it wasn't even near complete. Now, to get the OS4, it won't let me upgrade w/o a backup.
Any suggestions?

Brian, thank you so much for this useful detailed post. You have no idea how much I've searched for days for a complete answer and a fix for this exact same problem. I was about to give up and do a total restore! You rock!!!

Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

Hello all,
Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
Greetings
Erik-Jan Vriens

Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

TV shows just freezing during an episode

I have been having problems with tv shows and movies freezing during the middle of the show. So annoying. I have unplugged the appletv, and reset my router.It helps for a bit then freezes again.
Anyone have this problem? What did you do?

Hi rye_carr,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes is freezing. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

IPhone locks up during the backup stage of syncing

Something from my MacBook Pro is not allowing my iPhone to backup properly during a "Sync"!
I'm on my 3rd iPhone and the same problem keeps cropping up. I sync my contacts, calendars, bookmarks, email accounts and photos and it all goes fine. However, If I disconnect the iPhone after the initial sync and reconnect it, the iPhone will FREEZE/Lockup during the Backup phase of any subsequent sync. I have two iPhones one for personal and one for work. I hadn't sync'd the work one for a while and just tried it (it was still on 1.1.1, which I left it at) and the same thing happened. Now the work iPhone won't backup either without Freezing. If I just plug in my iPhone and have auto syncing disabled. I can make a change to one of my settings for example uncheck or recheck a calendar and the sync goes fine when I click the Apply button. However, if I click the Sync button (which does a backup first), the iPhone will freeze every time.
I have tried a restore (more than once and setup as a new phone) and all is fine until I put my data back on. What could be in my contacts, photos, calendars, email accounts or bookmarks that could be causing this? Other than freezing during backup, everything else works. I also sync my media (music, videos, ringtones, podcasts) with an iMac G5 and it won't backup the iPhone either. The problem happens after a restore/setup as new and first sync even before I put media back on the iPhone from the iMac, so it's not the media. It's something from my MacBook Pro that's going onto the iPhone and not being able to be read back in during the Backup.
My setup is a MacBook Pro 15" 2.33GHz, Mac OS X 10.5.1, iTunes 7.6
iPhone 1.1.3 AND iPhone 1.1.1
IPhone connected directly to the USB 2 port on the MBP AND directly to the USB port on the iMac G5 (different cables). No hubs.
985 contacts
4 email accounts (all IMAP)
687 photos
countless bookmarks
about 6 iCals

Try restoring one of the iphones on you imac.
Once the iphone is restored and shows back up in itunes, do not restore from back up.
This would put any corrupt data back on the iphone.
Set the iphone up as a new iphone, but do not allow to auto sync everything.
First set iphone to only sync music and sync it a few times to see if issue persists.
If issue does not persist, move to videos and do the same thing.
Keep moving through the content that you like to sync on your imac, one group at a time to see if the back-up issue reoccurs.
If the iphone backs up and syncs fine on the imac, now move to the macbook.
On the macbook, try syncing contacts first.
Try syncing a few times to see if backup issue reoccurs.
If everything goes fine with contacts, move to bookmarks then to email.
Leave calendars to the last.
If bookmarks and email sync fine then start syncing calendars, but do not sync all calendars.
Start with just one calendar and keep adding another one until the issue reoccurs.
Once the issue reoccurs, you know that the last thing you synced with is causing the issue.
The issue might not be with just one item, so if it happens, un sync the last item and skip over to see if the issue occurs again.
Hope this helps.

Unrespond during backup

Hi guys!
My 3GS iphone is freezed during backup with my WIN 7 laptop (happened at least 2 months ago), sometimes the progress bar didn't show up and lately the iphone will restart itself midway through the backup (in the middle position of the progress bar).
At first I thought this may be the laptop problem however I plug my wife's 3GS iphone (same connecting line and same USB port) everything is fine (backup,sync) so my second thought is my iphone has hardware problem (I already tried "set as new phone" option on itunes 10.1).
At last I tried to backup and sync with a MBP and my iphone works fine! Could anyone tells me what's wrong as I'm lost if I have to switch from WIN to MAC to make my iphone work.
Any ideas appreciate.

Welcome to the discussions,
if it stops right at the first step (backup), maybe the backup stored on your computer is damaged.
Go to iTunes/settings/devices, find your last backup and delete it. Then try again to sync.
Just to make sure you're not losing data if this was not the reason, back up the whole backup folder, in case it is not already part of your computer backup routine.
You can find it here:
