Re: Post 2.2.1 upgrade iPhone / iTunes sync crashes iTunes

I realize this should be a different thread, but since this thread has a lot of visibility on the 2.2.1 firmware...
Anyone having strange issues? I've noticed:
1) Sync of new data takes much longer (new app load, etc...)
2) I've had 4 or 5 app crashes on apps that used to work flawlessly. The crash occurs after extended use.
Haven't pulled the logs yet, but I'd really like to see a new firmware update so I can stop living in fear.

Thanks for kicking this off Alex! Some further details on my 2+ hours of trial and error, trying unsuccessfully to solve this problem.
My issue seemed to be triggered by attempting to delete some songs on my iPhone. Delete seemed to be progressing until iTunes hung (spinning beach ball) and finally crashed/quit. "Submit error report to Apple" dialog appeared and I have been submitting them pretty much each time it happens. Looking at iPhone, songs in question appeared to still be there, but interestingly album art was replaced by completely unrelated podcast album art. Song track times listed correctly, but when played it just skipped through each track in a second. So some corruption occurred at some point that might have triggered all this. After restoring, no apps will fully sync (if you select just one app, it will appear to install until nearly done, then iTunes crashes). No music will copy without triggering a crash. Interestingly, personal data (contacts, texts, etc) for built-in apps restored fine.
I believe the only thing I installed on my G5 between yesterday (when all seemed well) and today was iLife Media Browser Update.
Let's hope we see 2.2.2 very, very soon. I want my iPhone back!

  • Post 2.2.1 upgrade iPhone / iTunes sync crashes iTunes

    I upgraded my 3G iPhone to v2.2.1 today after taking a backup.
    Following an incident free upgrade - sync'ing the iPhone produces a crash in iTunes during the application sync section.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Thanks

  • Iphone stops syncing with itunes

    Hi there.
    I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Pro (late 2010, no thunderbolt) and transferred the info from my old MBP to this one using the migration assistant which copied applications and data.
    Now the only way I can get my iphone to sync with itunes is to delete itunes and reinstall it and after a day this stops working so I have to repeat the process. Its almost as if the computer is deleting the Applemobiledevice.pkg and reinstalling itunes reinstalls it.
    The computer sees the phone when connected to iphoto and it appears in the system profiler.
    Any ideas?
    I don't know if its relevant but I noticed yesterday that the Canon EOS software doesn't automatically load either when the camer is connected - like it used to.
    Many thanks.
    Michael

    Yup! I have exactly the same problem but with iPhone 5 + iOS 7.0.4 + iTunes 11.1.4. I used to create a playlist of podcasts to listen to via the Music app in the car along with music playlists. I can still create the podcast playlist in iTunes and listen to them in iTunes but the playlist does not appear in Music in the phone. In Podcasts they are there although I also get the screenshots above but only on a random selection. There is no playlist facility in Podcasts so I have to pull the car over to move onto the next podcast. In other words the most useful facility for me (catching upon podcasts) in the car is no longer available. Congratulations Apple! I've heard there are 3rd party apps available but haven't found one yet.
    Another backward step is the cackhanded procedure one now has to go through when syncing the phone with iTunes. Setting up a podcast playlist is dead simple. Now it is anything but simple. I can only presume that the guys who have worked on this change have never seriosly used an iPhone on the move.

  • Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

    I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago).  Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer.  I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54.  The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app.  Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists.  Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes?  Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

    How to create custom ringtones ...
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    6. Click the "Options" tab.
    7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    9. Click "OK."
    10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
    Hope this is useful ...

    You cannot.
    By Design the iPhone can Only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

    Yes, windows to Mac too.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • My iphone doesnt sync with itunes anymore

    hi can anyone help my iphone wont sync in itunes anymore.Ive tried all the steps on apple support page except the software conflict steps(too complicated) any suggestions?thanks

    I'm having the same problem.  Exept, I ended up wiping out my entire iTunes Library trying to fix it.  THE WHOLE THING.  And, I have no idea where to get it ...to put it back.  I have a terrible, terrible feeling that I am S.O.L. and that I've just lost a whole lot of money....and a whole lot of songs, movies and books.  Best of luck to you.  (and me, too.  ugh, i could cry!)

  • HT1848 I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ?

    I had my Iphone in sync with iTunes in my desktop PC. I had purchased musics from iTunes Store and musics I did transfer from original CDs (legacy ones). I no longer have my CDs once I did donate it to a public library. How can I recover my whole music assests on Iphone to my iTunes in my notebook PC ? At this time I only know how to transfer Apple Store purchased items.

    iTunes will only import music purchased from the iTunes store.  If you need to import music to iTunes from your phone that wasn't purchased from iTunes you will need to use 3rd party software to do so, such as Touch Copy.

    Connect your device, select it in the left-hand column, then change the settings on the various tabs to sync the media content your library to the device. Anything already on it may be removed. If that would be a problem see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • IPhone - Problems Syncing with iTunes

    Hi,
    Can anyone help with a an iPhone syncing issue:
    - I recently upgraded to iTunes 9.0.1 and my 3GS (OS3.1) will no longer sync smoothly with iTunes.
    On connection:
    - iPhone shows up in iTunes Devices list
    - iTunes displays the message "An iPhone has previously been synced with this computer"
    - iTunes then asks me to "SET UP YOUR iPHONE" - giving only two options:
    .... [ SET UP A NEW iPHONE ]
    .... [ RESTORE A BACKUP OF iPHONE (Pulldown) ]
    - At this stage I have no other options available.
    So, not wanting to set up a new iPhone, because it isn't, I try the "RESTORE" option, which I don't really want to do, but it's an up to date copy of the iPhone... So not a biggie. It runs for a while then restarts.
    Now, none of this is a huge problem, but it's a real pain in the a*se having to restore the iPhone each time it's connected to the Mac.
    Any ideas?

    Having the same issue with 3G 3.0 OS!!
    Please help, last backup was a month ago and I don't want to lose a month of info.

  • IPhone screen stuck on Apple logo, iPhone cancels sync in iTunes

    I noticed the volume indicator read "headphones" when the headphones were no longer plugged in. Then it all got worse from there. I have read many posts and tried many things multiple times but can not get the phone to work. The black screen w/ the logo is stuck. I can get the picture on the screen of the plug & iTunes icon (for connecting to iTunes v9), but that soon leaves and returns the logo screen. When I connect to iTunes a message appears "recovery mode detected must restore" which I try to do (I get all the common messages, extracting, preparing, waiting, restoring, verifying, restoring firmware, iphone has been restored to factory settings). But when I get to the "Set Up Your iPhone" page and attempt to restore from any recent backups I get error messages that go something like this: Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. The device is not connected.; not sync iPhone canceled sync; could not sync contacts iPhone canceled sync; could not sync cannot read or write to disk. Also note, that little circle of status bars goes around and around (on the screen w/ the logo) at times but nothing happens. Any suggestions before I trek an hour to the Apple store?

    Strange looks from the Genius at the Apple store when explaining my problem. He looked at the terminals with what looked like a otoscope and said the moisture sensors were activated (the 2 visible w/out taking phone apart, in each terminal jack, headphone & charger). Then he went in the back room to take phone apart to see if the internal sensor was activated. It was not, therefore my phone was covered by warranty and it was replaced at no cost other than my time and gas. I JUST WANT TO SAY my phone has never been around water. These phones need to be better designed (i.e., use gold plated terminals) to handle humidity from your pocket, from being in a bathroom when you shower, from moving from cold enviroment to hot, etc. This is my 4th iPhone in less then 2 years. I like to talk my Apple products up to my pc freinds but when I have issues like this they stick it to me.

  • Iphone no sync with itunes 7.6 & address book or calendar

    iphone 1.1.3 will not sync with itunes 7.6 and address book, or calendar.
    iphone will not sync to any of the mac I have, it will start to sync when I choose address, calendar, etc, and quit in a few seconds, with no sync.
    I tried all the recommendations, and as well re-installing clean itunes. Some folks attributed this to the latest Mac OS 10.5.2 upgrade. In any case, anybody could help please, the frustration level is all time high.
    Thanks, Gabriel

    yes it is, if you go to www.iphoneatlas.com/ among other search on google, you will find that there are a lot of folks with the same problem, if you go to macnn web site, as well there are comments.
    I restored the iphone, re-installed itunes more than a couple of times, use two different macs, different cables. Follow the recommendations on this site and others. Nothing seems to work. Therefore I assumed that there is something on the upgrade 10.5.2 that screw up the sync. That is the feeling of the rest of the folks that have the same issue and comments on macnn and iphoneatlas.
    Thanks for responding, Gabriel

  • Neither my ipad nor iphone will sync with itunes on my pc. it says i need a newer version of itunes but when i download the latest version i get the same message.

    I can't get my iPhone 4s or my iPad 2 to sync with itunes on my pc. My very ancient ipod nano works fine. I get told that the version of itunes is too old. I have tried on 3 occasions to download the update, and while it doesn't say there has been a problem with the download I continue to get the same message. I do get a warning that itunes is not properly installed and that i won't be able to burn cds. I have tried uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but that doesn't work either.
    does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    Have you run windows update?  That could prevent iTunes from properly installing.  Also, try with your antiVirus and firewall disabled.  What version of Windows are you running?
    OS X is the operating system on the Mac.
