Sync completes with all data transferred, but never completes - just hangs
When I connect my iPhone by USB, iTunes fires up and my Sync seems to kick off without a hitch. Sync in Progress appears on the screen for as many as 4 hours. If I disconnect after 15-20 minutes of syncing, new programs, appointments, and contacts all appear on the iPhone... but it just won't finish the Sync on its own without me canceling it with a swipe of the iPhone screen.
Any ideas?
I haven't had that happen but from other posts I have read, when there is a hang up of any sort with an Apple product, you usually should reset. Don't know if you have done. There are various ways to reset. I would first try holding down both buttons and wait for it to allow you to power down the Iphone.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup. -
3g iphone syncs for hours while but never completes
I have a 3g iphone which indicates it is syncing but never completes. I have worked with the online support as well as my local genius office, with no luck in resolving these issues. I have deleted my bookmarks to see if that would resolve the problem with the syncing only to have the problem occurs while syncing the contacts. I am not getting any error messages.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable. -
Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks
This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs? -
I hit the "update all" button in the app store and things seemed to get started but never completed. Now all these apps have a "waiting" msg under them. How do I fix this? Thx-Kurt.
turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

I bought a new iMac today. I'm using migration assistant to move all my software, but the time just keeps getting longer. It says connect an Ethernet cable for faster data transfer. I did, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?
m1doc,
Are you migrating from a Mac or a MS Window machine? Either way you probably should be in touch with AppleCare, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. They can usually help on issues like this. If you don't know the phone number please use http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 to help find the number in your country. -
Question
I have a MacBook and I am unable to successfully update Firefox. I click "Update Firefox" and it's starts updating but never completes the process. I sometimes leave it for hours and it's still updating! It's almost as if something is blocking it ffrom completing the process. Please helpNext time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

I am using Lightroom 5.5 on OS X. I have created several small collections with about 180 images and I am trying to sync them via Lightroom mobile for later iPad access. The first collection syncs properly, and then Lightroom syncing seems to hang. The label in the upper right shows "Syncing 150 photos" but does not count down. Opening and closing LR does not restart the process.
PROBLEM STILL EXISTS...
I spoke to soon! I tried adding a couple of more collections to sync. Lightroom shows "Syncing 814" photos on upper left, but never apparently syncs any. If I exit Lightroom it notifies me there are 814 images to sync. When I reopen it seems to pick up and stall where it left off. These new collections are not posting - this is the same problem as before.
I am pretty sure there is a serious bug in Lightroom here. I encourage support to contact me. -

Export PDF file updating but never completes the export - already turned off OCR capability
Export PDF file continues updating but never completes the export - already turned off OCR capability
John-
I wish I had something helpful to add but I can merely say that I am seeing the exact same problems on Aperture 3.0.3, MacOS X 10.6.3 with my quad-core i7 iMac (8GB RAM, 2.8Ghz).
The export I am attempting is:
RAW from Canon 50D >export> Email Medium - JPEG (image quality 8, 1024X1024, 72dpi, sRGB, include metadata)
With these adjustments:
RAW fine tuning
Retouch (brushed)
Exposure
Enhance
Curves
H/S (brushed) x2
Color
B&W
Sepia
Dodge (brushed) x2
Blur (brushed)
Definition
Skin Smoothing (brushed)
I am seeing some of the same side effects as others: must force-quit, can add/adjust effects but the preview updates are basically stopped.
In some instances, I've quit the app to find an export in the location I placed it but that's only happened sporadically.
I dearly hope the fix is coming... -
My iPhone 4 shows the carrier name, I can go online with my data plan, but there are no bars and I can't make phone calls.
It worked for some time, less than a week, I made phone calls and all, and all of a sudden the problem mentioned above happened. Now I can't make any phone calls. I can go online with it, even with my Data plan, I can go to the app store (of course) but can't make any phone calls.
Please help, this is frustrating.Did you already try the troubleshooting mentioned here? http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple lo comes up again. You will not lose any data doing this.

I have a Touch. It sync's automaticly when I plug it in. I like this.
I bought a Shuffle for my wife today. I want to put a playlist on it. When I plugged it in for the first time, it sync'ed with all my Touch stuff and is now full.
How do I empty the Shuffle.
How can I plug the Shuffle in if it automaticly fills up with my Touch stuff?
I have windows xp.
Thanks,
JeffSome apps that you download on your iPhone may possibly be to new for the iPod touch 2nd gen. I have a iPhone 5 and a iPod touch 2nd generation myself. If you plug his ipod into iTunes and restore it from a backup of your iPhone than it will download the paid apps and music that are compatible with his ipod. Hope this helps.

I have an iPod touch that is synced with my library. I just got a new Nano and I want to sync that with the same library but I can't figure out to do it with iTunes 11
I watched the new itunes tutorial, and if you double click on the blank part of the bar that says music, videos, apps, etc, a button will show with your ipod's name.
