Sync feature freezes on Prs-650 Reader Library

I am using a PRS-650 e-reader. I download library books using Reader for PC. Now, after I click and drag the books to the reader icon, the sync feature indicates sync is in progress, but no progress is made. This renders the computer inoperable, and necessitates a re-boot.

Hello!
I am experience almost the same problem and also have osX. my reader program crashes when i sync. I have done everything, deleted all books, uninstalled and installed the program again. i'm having a feeling that it is a problem with the software, since i got all these problems when i made the update on the reader program. and i agree it could be a conflict with some other program, but where, and how do i fix it? until this is fixed my prs-t1 seems like useless
I have no notes, so I dont know if i would have had your problem when i sync notes. But it is possible I would have that problem too.

PRS-650 Sync problems

I have just purchased a PRS-650 and transferred about 100 books to it from the library on my computer. When I try to sync with the library, it appears to hang.
Is there a maximum number of books that can be synced at any one time?
Thanks

Hi.
Before all, I want to say that I already searched in all
Sony websites to solve my problem, but I didn't
find any answer.
So it's why I'm asking here.
I'm trying to sync books to my PRS-650.
All the books I want to sync are loaded
in my library.
Now I want to sync them on my PRS-650 as usual
when I connect my Reader to the computer.
But now, in the schedule board, the loading is
stucked at the option that I could translate (I'm french-canadian) as "Flash Sync progressing" since one day.
I tried to cancel and sync again, same result.
I disconnected my Reader, putted it off, and reconnected my reader to the computer, same result.
I cancelled the sync, and synchronised it again, same result.
Ii is impossible to sync my books to my Reader.
My computer is running good on Window Vista, with a dual-core Toshiba Satellite computer.
And I have the latest version of the Sony Reader software, I checked it twice.

ITunes freezes up when syncing IPhone during "transfer" of apps to library

Updated version of ITunes to upgrade software version. After it finished, it said to restart computer...which I did. After restarting, Itunes would launch but it keeps syncing the phone with my Itunes acct. It syncs the mail, contacts and it asks to transfer apps purchased on my Iphone to my library. It said that if I don't transfer, the apps would be deleted..so I click on Transfer. But everytime, it freezes up. The phone still showing sync in progress but it does not do anything in ITunes. I've left it for a couple of hours and restarted the process several times...still does the same thing. The software version has not been upgraded on the phone. How do I get past the syncing process? I even tried not transferring the apps but it still continues on with the syncing and freezes up again.

I've had exactly the same problem. 16GB 3GS, newest OS X and iOS4. Syncing creates a never-ending lock on my entire computer system--iTunes appears to be attempting to sync the first song but it never completes. I've even left it overnight for 6 or 7 hours. This is ridiculous. Fix this, Apple.

PRS-650 locks up library in windows 7

I bought the prs-650 in late december and had problems from the start. Sony techs tried to tell me I was too dumb to charge it properly. After about a month went by they agreed to send me a new one. They sent a refurbished model and said that I did not contact them in the first 30 days (they conveniently neglected to log my first calls) so they said they had the right to replace it with a refurb. I got a new computer with Windows 7 and now the library locks up when I connect the reader. I followed all of the steps in the help topics and they told me by email that it must be a comm issue with the reader and I need to send it back for repair. After you stuck me with a refurb when I paid $230 for a new reader you are crazy if you think I am going to send you any more money to fix this lemon you sent me. I used to be one of your best advertisers singing the praises of Sony to anyone asking which brand I suggested. After being treated this way, I no longer recommend Sony readers and before I spend another penny on this one I will buy a nook or a Kindle. A reader is useless if you can't put books on it.

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum.
I'm sorry that you had an unsatisfactory customer service experience with Sony - I would now suggest that you contact Sony's Customer Relations team and have them escalate the issue:

If you require further product support I would recommend that you request the second tier of technical support.

Sony eReader PRS-650

not sure if this forum can help, but it's never failed me before....
New Sony eREader PRS-650. Worked like a dream for the first few days but now every time I connect it to to mac the reader library software crashes and closes, so can't transfer the eBooks. It seemed to happen after asking it to Sync. Any ideas?

Hi Sjennings,
If your download has failed this could be caused by background running applications or security settings. To correct this issue please try the following.
Reboot your PC and re-download again from your account (remember once you have purchased an ebook you do not have topurchases it again).
If you are still getting an error, please try the following.
Close all applications running in the background. This includes exiting/disabling items running in the system tray (you can close these by right clicking and selecting exit, disable or close from the menu).
If you are trying to access the internet from a work PC or connection you may not have full access to the internet. Please check with your MIS/IT (Network Administrator) department to verify your access rights.
If you are on a dial up connection please disable any download accelerators before attempting to re-download you eBook.

Syncing music freezes iPhone and erases album artwork

This is ridiculous, I just bought the iPhone 6 and updated iTunes to the latest version (I'm on Windows 7). I try to sync new music and iTunes refuses to do so. Instead, it deletes all of my album artwork and just freezes while trying to sync. I added 3 songs to the library, but it says it's syncing 1 of 7 and just doesn't do anything at the first song (not the song I added, old song). Anyone know what is going on?

iTunes 12.1 is very unstable, as is iOS 8. There are just bugs with music management and syncing, simple as that. I have run into a number of issues, especially since 12.1. Music doesn't sync over at all, the device's library gets corrupted, album art disappears, etc.
A quick glance around these forums shows that a large number of people are having the same problems. iTunes and iOS are just extremely buggy, and our only recourse is to wait for software fixes.

I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.

Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

Syncing 2 iPhones on the same iTunes Library

Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library? So games etc get synced to both phones? BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?

"Is it possible to sync to iPhones to the same iTunes library?"
Yes.
" So games etc get synced to both phones"
Yes.
"BUT can both iPhones sync to the Music Library differently?"
Yes.
Itunes recognizes each device, so you can set each to sync whatever you like.

Can I sync two iphones to the same itunes library

Trying to find out if I can sync my iphone4S and my husband's with the same itunes account. Is this possible? My phone was used initially to set up itunes; the pc recognizes his phone (serial number matches) by the sync fails.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can sync multiple devices with a single iTunes library.

How do I sync my iPad with a new iTunes library without erasing all the previously purchased apps & data on my iPad?

I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
Thanks so much!!!!!!

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

HT204074 I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account. How can I sync both computers to a common song library? ITunes Match?

I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account. Each computer's itunes library is common by around 75% of the songs. How can I sync both computers to a common song library, so that all songs can be updated for both computers? Will ITunes Match do that?

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

Is it possible to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library?

Hi,
I am having trouble in setting up sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
Config :
Mac OS - Latest update 5/6/09
iTunes - Latest update 5/6/09
Apple TV - Latest update 5/6/09
I am able to either sync OR Stream from my iTunes library but not sync AND stream from the same iTunes library
Let's say i want to sync :
Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
Add Library (Not shared for Syncing)
Enter passcode in iTunes and select the items to sync
After sync is complete
You can see photo, music & video in My Photos, My Music & My Videos.
Let's say now my Apple TV is full
So like to stream some other content
Now
Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
Add SHARED Library
Passcode is shown in apple TV but not able to Enter it in iTunes (click to set link is not there next to Apple TV item under devices)
To get that you have to right click the apple tv from the devices and select don't sync.
You will get a message saying that all content in apple TV will get deleted.
If you say yes then only the passcode screen for streaming is presented.
So i am not able to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
Any idea?

1. The checkbox for "show only synced content" should be unchecked

2. No need to Add Shared Library
correct
3. After syncing is complete as per the steps said before, if i have to see a synced content i go to My Movies for streamed content i have to go to Shared Movies?
no... both synced and streamed content show up all together. there is no way to tell what content is synced or streamed when looking at it on the appletv. it is seemless as in there is no difference in how it is presented.
you also need to make sure you are using "custom sync" rather than "automatic sync", as you can't select the "show only synced content" box when using "automatic sync".
