Sync locks up itunes

My son updated his itouch generation 2 8gb with 4.2.1 and now it won't sync with itunes. We have tried the reset option and seems to hang and lock up itunes when trying to sync music. We also have the latest itunes. Anyone else having similar issues or ideas on what to try tp resolve this?

I have tried that as well. I have tried songs out of the purchased playlists and various others and it always hangs. I have found that if I stop the sync on the itouch by sliding the bar and then under setting reset the network connection I don't have to restart itunes.

  • Can't sync new iPhone 4 with iTunes without it locking up iTunes

    Got my new iPhone 4 last Friday. They tell me I need to register it and sync it. Didn't get around to trying that until yesterday. Tried most of the day and night last night, using iTunes 9.whatever it was. Kept on locking up iTunes. Tried deleting iTunes, reinstalling it and trying again. Didn't work. Even trying to register the phone made iTunes lock up.
    Downloaded iTunes 10 last night. Have the same situation, BUT, it finally did allow me to finally register my phone this afternoon. Thought the problem was solved. Still won't allow me to sync.
    Sync starts up (took it off the auto-sync setting) and it says it is going to backup the device - Step 1. Sometimes the progress bar moves 1/4 inch, sometimes 1/2 inch. Sometimes it just has the moving pattern on it. Once or twice, it actually got to Step 2, whatever that is. It always locks up. I've left it running for hours... still won't work.
    Was told to delete iTunes, restart, delete trash and reinstall it. Tried that SEVERAL times, still didn't work. Was told to delete some other files (the IT guy was standing beside me because I have NO clue as to what to do with these files) - at least 1 file from the Library and not certain where the others were. That didn't work either. It just keeps on locking up iTunes and quite often, when I check with Force Quit, it shows that iTunes isn't responding. I repaired disk permissions. Didn't work. I unchecked what to sync - just trying to sync Apps now, and it still doesn't work.
    All software is up-to-date on both the phone as well as my MBP. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
    Just tried it again and just plugging in the iPhone caused the beach ball to start spinning. I've GOT to be doing something wrong, but I'm at a loss.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    After purchasing a new iPhone 5S I had a problem syncing iTunes with the iPhone...At the Apple Store, the Service Rep backed up my iPhone to iCloud in order to transfer all data from the old phone to the new phone. At home when I tried to sync iTunes with my new iPhone 5S, iTunes would not recognize my new phone. I discovered iTunes was configured to back up data to my Mac hard drive and the iPhone was configured to back up data to iCloud. There was a conflict, subsequently causing iTunes to not recognize my new iPhone 5S. My solution was to delete iCloud from the iPhone. After doing this, iTunes synced with the iPhone with no problems. No data was lost and syncing occurred normally.
    I recommend these as possible solutions:
    1) The Apple store will back up your phone using iCloud. Make sure that iTunes is configured to back up to iCloud before you plug your new phone into iTunes for syncing/back-up. If your iTunes is configured to back up data to your hard drive, ensure that the Apple Store does not back up your phone data to iCloud. You will have to back up all iPhone data yourself at home on iTunes.
    2) If they insist on backing up your phone data to iCloud from your old phone to your new phone then, be sure to delete the iCloud account off your new phone before you try to sync your new phone to iTunes.
    I used the 2nd solution to solve my syncing issues. Everything works great now. iTunes recognized my new phone and can now sync/back-up data with out problems, error messages or loss of data.
    Hope this helps everyone out! I intend to get drunk to relieve all the stress and hopefully restore my sanity as a result of having to solve this problem while having to act as my own Apple support staff!

  • IPhone suddenly will not sync and locks up iTunes

    For a little over 2 weeks now, my iPhone will not sync properly with iTunes. I'll plug in my iPhone and it will instantly lock up iTunes, with the spinning rainbow and all. After awhile, iTunes will start working again, but will be extremely sluggish. If I try to sync the iPhone, it just does a neverending sync, and won't actually work. The phone will show up in iPhoto, but won't show up on my desktop. I've tried reinstalling iTunes over the current version, I've tried different USB ports, different USB cables ... I just cannot figure this out!! Help!

    The iPhone does not show up on your desktop regardless - even with manually manage music and video selected for your iPhone sync preferences. The iPhone does not support disk mode.
    You are connecting direct to a USB port on your Mac, and not via a USB hub - with connecting to an available USB port on your keyboard or monitor considered a hub?
    Does your Mac have USB 2.0 ports, or 1.1?
    Long shot for this particular problem, but as a first step, try reseting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application.
    After selecting Reset Sync History, restart your Mac and try again.
    Have you tried resetting your iPhone?

  • Repeated System Hard Locks since iTunes 11.4 patch in full Screen apps.

    Firstly, the patches changes to iTunes U seems to have corrupted my iTunes library - I now have iTunes U content showing up randomly as Music, TV Shows, and Movies.  Also, many tracks have lost information.
    Secondly, I am getting the 'cannot sync, out of space' issue with my iPhone 4s, but I resolved that by removing music syncing from within iTunes, going to the iPhone, deleting all Music under Usage, then re-adding my music and audio books. It is still mis-reporting how much space is utilized in the bar graph, but c'est la vie.
    But the bigger problem is continuing instability on my Late 2009 27" iMac.  I have had more unrecoverable systems locks(only resolvable with a hard boot) in the past 3 days than I have had in the past year.   Granted that's 3 (still better than the PC days), but alarming.  Resources are not an issue (8 gig ram, 8 cores)
    All have been while listening to iTunes in the background and running some other app fore ground on another desktop.  Two have been while on RDP Sessions using Jump Desktop (v. 4.04), the third while attempting to log into World of Warcraft.
    After install of iTunes 11.4, I repaired permissions, because that often helps.  Suggestions?

    The next time the problem happens, note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash. Paste the log in a reply. Please do not use a screen shot as they can be hard to read. If there are repeated runs of the same messages, please post only one run.

  • How can I unlock ipod touch 5th gen currently disabled and never sync'd with itunes

    Basic situation. Ipod touch 5th gen. Passcode forgotten and tried too many times such that ipod is disabled and requested to connect to iTunes.  Problem is that the ipod was never sync'd with iTunes so the connection fails.  I've only owned it for 9 months or so.  I know I can recover all my music through iTunes and my applications through the app store since all of my content was legally purchased.  The problem is that I need to also recover my contacts and pictures since this is the only place they exist.
    I have read about methods up to 4th generation where you can access a particular file on the device via computer and rename it to unlock the device. That would most likely allow me to then sync/backup via iTunes and recover my data.  Problem is that I can only access the DCIM folder via windows manager and it contains no data. Perhaps there is a way to access the device a different way?
    Is there a way with the 5th generation to either reset the lock (from disabled to locked with a 1 min wait for retry as an example) to allow me more opportunities to try other passcodes that I may have set (including mistypes etc) or to remove the passcode completely and let me set it to something I will write down this time?
    Please do not reply with the standard apple responses of 'sync with itunes' or 'factory reset' and no, I did not sync with the icloud either (I tried but it was unsuccessful for some reason).
    The answer doesn't even have to be a free one as I would be willing to pay for the solution if it were guaranteed to work.  Since apple seems to want to charge for any type of support, even to ask a question, I am relying on the community for help.  Thanks much.

    You have to place the iPod in Recovery mode as Apple says and erase the device. It is a security feature.
    or
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    There is not other way

  • IPod Classic (6G 160GB) loses music sync settings in iTunes (10.5.2)

    I have a 160 GB iPod Classic 6G that has been giving me some trouble over the last few months. Everytime I would try to sync it with iTunes (10.5.2), it would lock up and I would have to perform a hard reset to allow it to reboot and sync with the computer. This has been an annoyance, but a workaround.
    A few weeks ago, I gave up on this lousy workaround and restored the iPod and synced my media. Note that all the media is on the same machine (iMac 24, Mac OS X (10.7)) and that the iPod is not being shared between two differnt computers. When I connect the iPod at the end of the day to get new podcasts, I notice that the Music Sync option in iTunes is no longer selected. If I select it, iTunes reports that the music on the iPod will be replaced with music from this computer, the same computer to which it has been synching all along. Selecting this button and starting over does not solve the problem as the button is unselected the next time it is connected and restoring the iPod does not solve the problem.
    Anybody else have this problem and resolved it successfully?
    Thanks for your time and consideration.

    hey  henke,
    I , too , was wondering why the most important service that I was waiting for , was not available.... the check box for "music" does not appear.
    It turns out that this service is ONLY available to users that have an AMERICAN iTunes account....
    sadly , apple dons't say that and in the web site it seems that this sync service for music is availale for all.
    I guess amd hope it will come to Europe soon. i myself have a German account in itunes

  • Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too.

    Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.

    It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days.   The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

  • I purchased some films on my ipad and since syncing with my itunes, I have lost all my films, can anyone help?

    I purchased some films on my ipad and since syncing with my itunes, I have lost all my films, can anyone help?

    There is some troubleshooting for 0xE8 error codes on this page : iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC
    For the charging via USB, a lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge an iPad at a sufficient rate (it may still be charging, especially if the iPad's is locked and the screen is off), the iPad's own wall charger is generally the best way to charge it.

  • HT1349 iMatch keeps locking up iTunes as it tries to set itself up on my PC...

    I am using iTunes, and trying to set up iMatch, and it keeps locking up iTunes when matching songs to the store and uploading my songs that are not in the store. It just won't finish and basically shuts down iTunes in the process... Apple online support keeps asking me for my serial #, but my main computer is a PC. I use an iphone and ipad to sync with my computer's itunes and thought iMatch might be the way to go to get everything together...

    Hello there, deelish.
    A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    The pertinent section for you would be:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • Problems syncing Ipad to itunes

    When I plug my Ipad into my computer to sync it to itunes, itunes tells me to first type in my ipad password on my ipad, the problem is that the window to put in a password will not show up on my ipad screen, and all that shows up is the syncing screen. I have tried to reset both the ipad and the computer numerous times but it won't work. What should I do to fix this problem?

    Hi and welcome....
    Try this... tap Settings in your Home screen then tap General / Passcode Lock. Tap Passcode Lock then tap Never.
    And in Settings / General / Restrictions. Make sure that's turned off.
    Now restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Now try syncing with iTunes.
    Please take a moment and click *My Settings* on the right side of this window and tell us what model computer you are using and which operating system. That way you will have a forum profile setup for now and in the future. Thanks! Some of the troubleshooting advice we suggest depends on whether you are Mac or Windows.

  • HT1212 I bought a iphone 4s off ebay, the seller's daughter forgot to remove her password but did restore everything else. Its not synced with my itunes so I am not able to go that route. What other way can I restore this Iphone 4S.

    I purchased am Iphone 4S from ebay. Sellers daughter restored Iphone but didnt remove password. He sent me the password but after entering it a few times after I had already previous tried passwords before I reached him now I have reached the disabled screen and now have the correct password but am unabke to use it due to disabled screen. It is not synced with my Itunes so I am not able to go that route. If anyone else has any other suggestions please lead me.

    If you get locked out of your phone with an incorrect passcode, then the only way is to do a restore and for that you need to connect it to iTunes and that is it.  No other way to go.

  • Phone locking up itunes and not mountin

    I had my new iPhone working and then I went on vacation. I got back last night and today I am trying to sync my phone. Anytime I plug it in it just "beach balls" itunes and I have to force quit. I have tried leaving it several minutes to see if that would help, but nothing.
    I rebooted the computer and the phone several times. Tried a different usb port and even tried my laptop. Nothing worked. Even on my laptop the phone just locked up iTunes.
    The phone is charging plugged up though.
    I did notice yesterday it got very sluggish and almost non-responsive, but I rebooted the phone and it worked better (though still slow)
    Any clue on how to get this phone to mount in iTunes?

    There's a few threads on this already:

  • My new iPad2, when connected, locks up iTunes.

    I upgraded iTunes to the latest version and then connected my new iPad2 32G.  After filling out the registration form and clicking on Submit, nothing happened for 10 minutes with the CPU percentage staying on 100 percent.  Now, everytime I connect, the CPU goes to 100 % and locks up iTunes...that is, it never connects or syncs properly.   I have rebooted both devices several times... Any thoughts anyone?

    Uninstalled iTunes and started over.....all is well now.
