Since new MacBook Pro: iTunes freeze during iPhone sync
Hello
I know that there are already a lot of discussions going on about these but nothing works for me.
MacBook Pro mid 2012:
MacOS 10.8.5 ---> new clean install
iTunes 11.1.1 ---> new clean install
iPhone 3Gs:
iOS 6.1.3 ---> new clean install
The problem:
The problem started after a clean Mountain Lion install on a new MacBook Pro.
Updated all applications an system.
Copied iTunes folder to new MacBook Pro.
Connected iPhone to sync with new MacBook Pro.
And ...
iTunes freeze during iPhone sync for the first time in many years whitout problems.
Some apps in iPhone are partly installed because of freeze.
When i delete them they appear again during next sync and then iTunes freezes again.
What i already have tried:
# Clean iOS install --> again and again
# Recover from older back-up --> again and again
# New user
# New iTunes install
# Delete iTunes preferences and cache
# Delete all apps
# Reset permissions on the user in repair center
# select: "Prevent ..., iPhones, ... from syncing automatically"
---> but when i connect the iPhone it start syncing automatically???
# and so on, and so on
All the rest is working like a beauty!
Please help, getting down and losing al lot of time.
Regards
It have taken me all day but it's solved!
During last sync on old MacBook Pro the new version of the iBook app was only synced partly.
That's why, when i was trying to sync on my new MacBook Pro, iTunes was freezing during sync.
Once i have synced my iPhone on the old MacBook Pro again, and iBook app was synced complete, this problem was fixed.
Regards

Got a new macbook pro after selling my iphone synced powerbook
Now I can't sync anything without iTunes wanting to completely erase the contents of my iphone. I have apps that I downloaded/paid for from the app store app on the phone. Can't we all just get along?
Did you transfer all important data from your iPhone synced PowerBook to your new MacBook such as documents, photos, and your iTunes library? Or did you leave all important data on your PowerBook behind?
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
This can be avoided in regards to iTunes content by including your iTunes library with your computer's backup and transferring your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link. All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, ringtones, iBooks, etc. and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
All photos on your iPhone transferred from the old computer should be transferred from the old to the new computer as well along with all other photos stored on the old computer.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
In addition in regards to iTunes content that was purchases/downloaded from the iTunes store, if you are in the US check this link.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
Every time I plug my iPhone 5s (32 GB) into my macbook pro, iTunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723). And none of my recently bought songs or my ringtones will transfer to my iPhone. I have iOS 8.1.2. I have only had this iPhone for about a month and a half. A week ago when I plugged it in it would say something along the lines of " This iPhone cannot be synced because the Photo library is not set up. Please try again later." What does that even mean? And now it is saying that it can't sync because of an unknown error. Well, how do I fix this? I have not yet downloaded the Yosemite update because it got horrible reviews and everyone I've talked to said their computer has gotten extra slow because of it so I was wondering if I need to download Yosemite so my iPhone will sync. I have tried turning my computer on and off, quitting and reopening iTunes, restarting my iPhone, and nothing has worked. I would really like to be able to transfer my music and ringtones etc. onto my phone.
Thanks you!You have told us you have iOS 8.1.2, and a non-current version of OS X Do you also have an old iTunes? Current is 12.0.1. I'm quite certain iTunes 12 is required to sync with iOS 8.
The current iPhoto version is 9.6. You are probably behind there as well, and that likely caused the first "photo ..." error. As you may know, iOS is changing its approach to managing photos in iOS 8, so I would imagine it would be important to be current with this application. -

My MacBook Pro randomly froze during a sync to my iPhone and started making a scratching noise by the power button. I shut it off then turned it back on and it won't take me to the desk tops it will just flash a folder with a question mark in it. What do I do?
You have a HDD problem (hopefully you have a backup). Start with the information on this support article:

I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Importing from iPhone 4 to new Macbook Pro iTunes?
Have an almost full iPhone 4 and have just ordered a new Macbook Pro
How do i import my phone songs, and apps and basically my itunes to my new Macbook Pro? Or do i have to log into my itunes account and re-burn my CD"s back into the computer to put back onto the iPhone?
Im looking for the Quickest easiest way to get back up and running with my itunes account and songs that are only on my iPhone at the moment? as well as apps etc that i have bought in the past?"So in essence my iPhone is my only storage device with the music/apps on - but it looks like i can't download copies 'off' into my new Mac as backup?"
The iphone is not a storage device. it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
"So do i have the unenviable task of re-importing my cd's/songs into my new itunes computer and re-logging into my itunes account??"
Yes.
"Do i have to do this all by hand again and re-sync with my iPhone 4?"
Yes.
" Same with downloading off my photos to iPhoto?"
The photo sync is one way as well. Your pics should be included in your regular backup of your computer. Pics on the iphone are optimized for viewing on iphone (reduced in resolution). You can e-mail them to yourself but they will never be of the original quality.
Always maintaining a backup is very important. -
Copied my iTunes library to new MacBook Pro, why are my iPhone apps greyed out?
Hi,
Rather than migrate from an iMac that I sold, I decided to just start fresh on a new Macbook Pro. I did back up my iTunes library and copied it over to the new Macbook. I synced my iPhone and iPad 2 on the new Macbook but the apps are greyed out. When I click the sync apps box all but a few of the apps (I'm assuming the ones that are default with the iPhone and iPad) dissappear.
I'd like the ability to arrange my apps with the Macbook at times and like the idea that I have a backup of all my apps on my computer. I realize I'm backing them up in iCloud, but just sayin'.
Thanks,

Do I purchase an external hard-drive and transfer? Or should I just go and get a 32 GB Flashdrive? Anyone have any tips for doing this stuff?
assuming all your media files are in the default location, connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
So how can I turn off the library on my iMac and just make it two?
you can't.
you'll have to wait until you reach the limit of five machines. then you can use the deauthorize all option, following which you can reauthorize those computers you currently use/have access to.
have a look at this support article. -
I just brought a new macbook pro but am hving problems syncing ipad/iphone 4
i just got my new macbook pro. i used my time machine to back up old macbook and then used it to put all my files on new one but when i try to sync ipad i get transfere purchaes .. but when i do that all my things say there not allowed on this mac as im not autherised... erm my mac my ipad my files.. same itunes account logged into both.. whats the problem??? and the other option is to erase and sync .. but i would lose 2 movies and a tv serries plus music and apps????
Try de authorizing your old mac and then authorising your new mac, that will sort all your apps out in the purchased section, regarding all your data, films etc on your ipad/iphone you will have to use a programme to get the data from your iphone to new mac. i had the same problem, i used to an app called "pod to Mac" which did the job for me by taking all my data off my iphone 4 and putting it onto my mac, i then opened the files on my mac with the relevant programmes like itunes etc and then synced my iphone to my new mac.
hope that helps -
with my purchase of the new macbook pro i have been unable to upload any music from my iphone or any other details except from my pictures. I tried to set up the icloud but i am having difficulties doing so as all my music on my phone is under an old shared account and on my laptop i have a new account specifically for me which has also been newly uploaded onto my phone with the £70 voucher.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. -
Brand new macbook pro - iTunes does not recognize multiple speakers, my older macs work correctly
New macbook pro with iTunes 10.5.2. OS 10.7.2 Setting up iTunes.
Two speakers on Airport devices.
Switch at bottom right shows all of the speakers above the line, and "multiple speakers" below the line. The two speakers on the airport devices are #3 and #4 on the list above the line. (i.e. ITunes is aware that these airport speakers exist).
I can click on single airport speakers above the line, and ITunes connects.
When I click on "multiple speakers", I get "computer" and the first listing which is a printer hooked up on an airport express link. Also get the separate volume controls etc. The third and fourth entries on the list (i.e. the airport speakers) are not displayed on the multiple speakers list.
So I can connect to one speaker at a time, e.g. the computer, or any other speaker, but I cannot connect to multiple speakers.
I have two other macs and have never had this problem with hooking up to the multiple speakers.
Thanks for any help.Same here - the problem is - it was working for a few days after I've upgraded iTunes to version 10, and then yesterday - I've rent the movie from Apple Store and once downloaded with iTunes - I wanted to transfer it to my ATV - however - my link to ATV suddently disappeared. What a piece of Crap. I can't describe my frustration - apple products aren't cheap and they always come with some kind of problem - what the **** is going on - it's not just the design people are looking for but also functional products.
Yesterday I've tried to turn of ATV, remove link from iTunes, start ATV make new connection to iTunes, start up iTunes - ATV shows up, code put in and at this stage I thought it finally works - but hey - forget it - I'm trying to put the purchased rental onto ATV and I get an alert saying that my firewall (which I have none) is stopping me from syncing. I then go to the support page which explains how to deal with it - but on some very old version of the system - my system (Snow Leopard) doesn't have those options any more. So as far I I'm concerned I'm screwed unless they fix the problem with their software.
If you guys know of any possible solution to this problem (and I did read many forum topics already - none of which works) - then please let me know. -
Whenever I plug my iphone 3GS into my windows PC I have no problem syncing and backing up my apps etc but whenever I plug it into my new macbook pro, it simply cannot read my device at all and everything is fully updated. Help please. Thank you
I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly): -
Brand new MacBook Pro that freezes up daily
I have a new 2.4 multi touch MacBook Pro that gets the Mac equivalent of the Windows BSOD every single day. A grey wall scrolls down the screen at random times and say the computer must be rebooted.
This is a real annoying feature considering the single core MacBook Pro I was using previously always worked just fine.
What's up with the new MacBook Pro's?Hi Shore,
Since the computer is brand-spanking new the most likely cause of your kernel panics is poorly seated RAM modules. Try taking the RAM sticks out of the machine and reseating them. This will most likely solve the problem.
If it doesn't, see this article for other ways to diagnose kernel panics:

Brand New MacBook Pro keeps freezing
I have had my brand new MacBook Pro for about four months now and out of the blue, it will freeze up for about a minute or so randomly with no warning. I have run Disk Utility already along with restarting it, but it still freezes. Any ideas on to what is causing it?
Thanks!
DaveImpossible to say without any information. You may want to keep Activity Monitor open (Applications-Utilities-Activity Monitor) and see if there is anything that uses a lot of % CPU and/or RAM. Check to see how much free RAM you have, if it's below 500MB that could be a problem, it simply means you are using all the available RAM.
Your machine is covered by the warranty too, so you may want to visit your local Apple Store and have a Genius look it over.
BTW when posting a problem, please let us know exactly what you are doing when the problem occurs, including what apps, version numbers etc. and specifics about your computer. Something like, "Yesterday afternoon and this morning while using Excel (Office 2011) on my 2010 15" MBP with 4GB RAM and 500GB HD my system......" That way we have the who, what and when.
