Sync interrupted - will verify eventually complete?

I added a new playlist to my iPhone but the sync was interrupted before it completed (but after it was backed up thankfully) and now selecting 'Playlists' from the iPod menu on the phone will cause it to hang. If I plug the phone back into the computer I get a 'Verifying iPhone' message but even after a couple of hours, nothing seems to have happened and iTunes is using 100% of my CPU. However, iTunes does still appear to be running so I think it is doing something.
The question is - do I leave it running in the hope that the verification process will eventually complete (and hopefully fix the error - does it usually take this long - I have an iPhone 3G 16GB)? Or do I reset the phone and restore the latest backup? A full restore makes me very nervous.
Note also that right-clicking on the phone in iTunes doesn't offer me a 'Restore from backup' option (it is greyed out) - is this because iTunes is still trying to sync? Are playlists even part of the backup?
Any advice is welcome.

You have to follow these instructions to not lose aning information. Also before you tranfer iTunes purchases tot he computer delete any of the same apps from your iTunes library since many apps have been update and the updated apps are no longer compatible with the 1G. When they say restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.

I am syncing my iPhone now, and step 6 of 6 is taking significantly longer than it usually does. Is there a way to tell how long it will take, or complete the process?

White 2008 MacBook will not boot completely (hangs up)

For Christmas 2008 I bought a New 2008 Apple MacBook (White) for my 13 year old Grandson. He gave it back to me to "fix" .
He said the following problem ----will not boot/Hangs UP during boot---- *first appeared immediately after he downloaded and installed an "APPLE/MACBOOK" update of some kind last week.*
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR TO ANYONE OUT THERE? IF SO I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUGGESTIONS.
More info:
It will not boot completely. when powered on it-- chimes once with the normal Mac sounds (Not a POST Beep error)---- and a white screen---- with apple logo in center appears--- after several seconds a small spinning "activity/busy" circle appears below the logo. This circle appears and spins for about 3 to 4 minutes with no other activity happening. Then the screen goes blank and power goes off.
Oh yes I am not certain as to the Exact OS designation that is installed (sorry)
I am new to Mac but have checked:
The power (A/C, and supply are on, Mag power cord attached and battery charge light on battery is blinking green with 4 steady green lEDs on--- (So I assume I'm OK with NO power or battery issues)
I then tried to boot into "safe" mode. (shift key when power on) (No change)
Then I tried Cmd, Option, P, R keys as suggested in manual during power on to reset nv(p)Ram (No change)
Grandson is searching for manuals, OS Apple Hardware troubleshooting disk etc. While I wait to receive those items from him --------
Does anyone have any Ideas /suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

HI Joe and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Since you can't boot in Safe Mode that's not a good sign. You really need those install disc(s) to repair the drive if necessary.
When you get the install disc...
Insert the installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open look at the bottom of the window. You will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% free disk space.
You can try something that doesn't require the install disk and that's Reset the SMC
If you can get the MacBook to boot up to the Desktop, click the Apple Menu then click About This Mac. The Mac OS X version number will be displayed there. 10.x.x

Safari will not load completely, just the top line

safari will not open completely, just the top line appears. I have an Imac oper at 10.5.8

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Hello
Just thought I would add my fix for this issue for anyone who is still getting it:
Go into Services.msc and stop and disable the following service: "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service"
Then sysprep continues on past the stage where it gives the warning about the CloneTag key and successfully completes (hopefully!).
In this instance if you instead manually re-add the CloneTag key the image will give a BSOD on restart if you try to deploy it (mine did anyway).
It appears the error occurs and the sysprep stage fails so the CloneTag is not set to stop the deployment going any further.
If the task sequence is failing then it may be better to run a local sysprep and generalize from c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe as this gives better error messages.
It's also good to build the reference computer image in a virtual machine which you can snapshot before you start so can quickly revert back and try again if it messes up (as mine did a few times until I worked out the cause).
Your issue may not be the same as mine though but hope it helps someone.
Robin
P.S. Looking online it looks like the bug with the windows media sharing service goes back as far as pre RTM builds.

Thanks, this worked for me trying to sysprep Windows 7 x64 Home Premium.

Sync stops but isn't complete...

iTunes - v7.0.2.16
iPod - 5G 60GB
This seems to have started when I (stupidly) upgraded iTunes. I'm trying to sync about 9700 songs (51.65Gb total). I've got it set to sync automatically. It starts off okay, if you don't mind the periodic freezes, but after about 2GB worth of songs it just stops syncing as if it were complete. To be clear, it doesn't freeze in mid-sync like some folks are reporting, it just stops.
Once it happens, I right click on the iPod and click 'sync' again. It starts back up and does about another 2GB and then stops again. At this rate it will take a couple of days to totally sync since I dont' ahve time to constantly watch it work.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

Itunes will not download complete song on ipod

I have tried with several different ipods and it will not download complete songs. Tried putting them on one at a time or whole sections. I did all the upgrades except the safari. Please help... I have a lot of songs and very disappointed kids too!

You are in the dreaded "Authorization Loop". Here are the usual fixes - try them in this order, syncing your iPod after each one.
1. Deauthorize the PC for both accounts until it is showing zero authorizations on that PC for both accounts. Then reauthorize the PC again fr both accounts.
2. Delete the SC Info folder (not just the file) as mentioned in this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
3. Download a free single of the week and play a few seconds of it.

TS3297 I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my ipod

I downloaded songs that now will not play completely on my touch. There were no error messages, and I see them fine on my touch. They get to a certain point in the song and jump to the next song.

Do they play ok on your computer's iTunes ? If they do then try deleting them from your iPod and then re-sync them back to it.
If they also don't play on your computer's iTunes, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I've had a problem with syncing itunes, when i sync it dosent sync songs previously deleted it just greys them out, which is great but if i want to add a new video or song from my computer it wont sync it will just grey out and wont play. now all my songs

ive had a problem syncing with itunes recently. when i delete a song on my iphone when i sync with my computer it still syncs but just greys out and is rendered useless. thats great unless i when i want to add new music or videos from my pc to my iphone it wont sync and will just grey out. i looked for solutions and one said that deleteing all your music from the usage in settings would fix it, well now when i sync all of my music is greyed out. ive tried adding all of my songs manually into my ipod instead of syncing entire library and nothing. (also when i select to sync music nothing shows up in the usage bar (normally 3 gigs) might help) could someone please help?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

I have the iPhone 4S and I cannot get my apps to download. I will click free then install and then it will ask for my password. Once I enter my password correctly it will verify my password an then it won't do anything. what should I do?

I just went through this same process.... I changed my credit card, double checked billing info, changed my password, I restored my phone, but the misake I made was I kept restoring it from my back up.... Finally I went to Apple Store.. and sad to say that you have to do a restore, and DO NOT restore from back up.
I used Gmail so I didnt loose contacts or email.. but I did loose all my text messages and history of that.
So, I had the EXACT same problem and it was a software issue.. you have to restore your phone to factory settings and start all over.. BLOWS I know!

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file devices transfer purchases.

The ipad wont sync and will return an error "Ipad cannot sync because the computer is no longer authorized to transfer the purchases..." But when I do a file>devices>transfer purchases. It is successful. Updated to ios7 recently. I'm facing the problem since then. I've tried deauthorizing and then authorizing several times.

Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.
