Sync Hangup/Cancellation: Would iTunes Reinstall Help?

Synching my iPad2 with iTunes hangs up at Step 5 of 6 -- Importing Photos. Eventually I get the message "Canceling synch."
I recenty upgraded to iOS5, but have successfully synched since then. I tried unchecking synching photos. However, iTunes still gets hung up at Step 5 of 6 of the synch and then cancels the synch. Would reinstalling iTunes help?
What can I do finish synching?

Deleting 2 PDF books did the trick after 3 weeks of frustration.

Error 150:30 - Would a reinstall help?

I keep getting error 150:30 when trying to open CS4 now that I've "upgraded" my Mac OS. I know CS4 is unsupported by Yosemite, but would it possibly clear up any of this snafu to uninstall and then reinstall any such older CS software?

Yes.

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

I installed Firefox Sync to connect my PC to my new Samsung Exhibit II phone. Ever since, I cannot receive new emails or connect to network. I want to completely uninstall Sync. I would appreciate any help.

I have not seen any keys, codes, etc on my phone. Just want to uninstall

Hello- Well, the phone is new so I have an awful lot to learn about it. I know my phone works or goes through Google (Gmail)???? which I have always had a Gmail email. I wanted to sync my PC to my new phone. I downloaded Firefox Sync to my PC. It asked for my email and to create a password, which I did. And that was all I did. I glanced at my phone minutes later and realized that new emails weren't appearing anymore after downloading Sync to my PC. Yet, on my PC, new emails were appearing in my Gmail account. Also, right away I noticed a problem with my network on my phone.
I don't know if I should have downloaded FireFox to my cell phone first before syncing.
When I downloaded Sync to my PC and it asked me for my email address and to create a password, I created a NEW password (which then changed my Gmail password), which my cell phone does not know this new password.
Anyway, today I 'Deactivated' my Sync, I think. Lol. But still have all the same phone issues. I'm guessing now that the problem may be because I changed passwords when I created the Sync?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

Won't sync from iPad to iTunes, re help

I tried to sync my iPad to my computer. I have a windows 7, updated version of iTunes, and the apps transferred fine, the problem was my music. They transferred fine into the library on my iTunes account, but it shows it as still syncing and is gray. It will not allow me to play the music from iTunes. Is this an error on my part or is this a bug with iTunes?

Hi,
Something like this happened to me before.
Go to the system preferences app to see if iCloud or another account is syncing your calendar. Also do the same thig on the iPad(s). Make sure that the same account (ex: iCloud vs. yahoo) is syncing the calendars on all of the devices.
If that doesn't work go to the"calendars" button o. The top left coner of the iPad screen. Check the calendar the is syncing the calendar on all the devices.

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not. I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes. I still have the same problem. Suggestions?

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not. I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes. I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord. Does anyone have further suggestions?

Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

Hard Drive Failed - iPod synced with previous iTunes Library - HELP!

The hard drive on our Dell laptop recently failed. We had to replace it and completely reinstall the operating system, which wiped out everything, including iTunes. All of our music currently resides on our iPod (thousands of songs!). After reinstalling iTunes on the new hard drive, iTunes will not sync up because it says the iPod is already synced to another iTunes library.
That library was deleted when we wiped out our hard drive.
HOW can we rescue the songs on our iPod and download them to our new iTunes? It's telling us that if we sync, all music on the iPod will be erased!
Help!

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Trying to sync iPhone 4 with itunes and get an error message PLEASE help

I am currently using and iPhone 4. This morning I had synced my iPhone with itunes and it was working fine. I came home and wanted to add some music and such to it and all of a sudden i will plug it in to itunes and i,t looks like its going gets to step 2 of 6 (which is the back up process) and then an error message comes up saying itunes has stopped working, my only option to do is exit the window..
Any ideas why this would be the case? its really frustrating me. I am also not the most computer savvy.
Thanks

Try reinstalling iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If that doesn't help, if you are using a Windows based computer, could be your anti virus software or your firewall that's preventing the sync.

I really don't want to lose ANYTHING on my iPad. Please tell me how to sync the data on the iPad to iTunes so I don't lose anything.
Thank you!

One of the three choices is "cancel" - just click that.

Ah I see. That folder would only be there if you had perfomed the earlier steps in that section.
