Sync problem and radio stuck on!

when i was trying to transfer purchases from my ipad to my laptop it got stuck on sync, i could use the rest of the window but could not get it to stop syncing. i uplugged my ipad and its fine, but itunes still tried to keep syncing nothing. when the window shut i was listening to the radio but i kept on playing after the window shut. i now cannot reopen itunes to turn the radio off or sync my ipad. i have windows 8 and the itunes icon is pinned to my taskbar. when i click on it it is highalighted for a while then it just fades and the window doesnt open. i tried shift+ctrl like i saw on another question but that wont work i dont get 'safe mode'. help the radio is starting to irritate me now!

Hi elloise97,
If you haven't already, the first steps to try would be to force iTunes to quit and/or to restart your computer. If the issue persists, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful:

Sync problem and unusual amount of "Other" in memory usage

I have an iPod touch with 8.1.2 installed.
I will begin by the sync problems I was experiencing two days ago. First, some songs I tried to manually add were greyed out in the list. Then the sync got stuck at "Waiting for chagnes to apply". Then, all the songs in the iPod seemingly got corrupted. After some restores, the memory usage bar showed DOUBLE the amount of memory used, and half of that was "Other". 48 GB of "Other".
After restoring a copy from the day before, and then installing 8.1.2 (I had 8.1.1) the iPod seemed to sync right. Then, I noticed two things. First, many songs and albums didn't had the artwork. Second, many songs were missing. (I should say that I manually manage the music in my iPod). Today, I started manually adding songs and albums. After syncing many album covers were still missing. Then, after adding some abums, almost 10GB of "Other" appeared on the usage bar.
I would like to know how to solve this issue.

Restore the iPod since you have to remove the corruption and also:

Pearl syncing problems and unspecified errors

Hello all,
I have had this bbpearl flip for about a month now, and over christmas I added email and total internet to my phone package, so I am in the process of setting up all of that. Ever since I enabled the web and whatnot, I have been having sync problems. I tried to add email addresses to my outlook contacts by importing a .csv file, which gave me a box that said "Unspecified Error occured" during the sync. I have reinstalled the desktop manager software (v4.6) and the device software, and restored my harddrive to an earlier version. Everything seemed fine until I tried to use my bluetooth adapter to sync with my laptop. Turns out that the adapter doesn't work very well with Vista (which is what I have) so I have abandoned that idea for now. This morning when I plugged in my phone to sync, I am getting an Unspecified Error again. The last time I synced this way it worked just fine, and I don't know of anything I have done in the meantime to mess it up. Any ideas?
Specs:
BB Pearl Flip 8220 w/ T-Mobile
Toshiba Satellite running Windows Vista
Microsoft Outlook 2002 and Office 2003

Hello,
I haven't had to do so in quite some time, but I recall that if you do an export from Outlook, the order the data is in will be the same order that the sync process uses...which should enable you to find the record in question. However, that's from Outlook to the device...and you say you are doing the reverse...
Perhaps if you use the Desktop Software to perform an export from the BB, the records may well be in the order needed?
Good luck!

GF4 AVI Capture/sync problem and solution.

1.9ghz Athlon, 512MB RAM, 2x80GB hds, G4 ti4400 128MB card, SBLive Xgamer sound card. Win98SE OS.
Now that I've fixed my Mpeg2 capture in WinProducer 2 and WinDVR, I've still had a problem with raw AVI capture. Audio/video sync is usually off with programs like VirtualVCR, iuVCR and even Adobe Premiere 6 (when it recognizes the WDM drivers at all) irregardless of resolution/sound encoding.
However, http://www.virtualdub.org/">VirtualDub works perfectly... I've managed to record 720x480 uncompressed or lossless compressed (HuffyUV codec) video with 48khz stereo PCM sound, no sync or frame drop problems.
Hope this helps. Too bad FAT32 doesn't let me capture more than a few minutes of full video before it hits the 4 GB limit and WinXP is impractical for me to upgrade to. :(
Can't win 'em all, I guess

Welcome to the forums
A battery pull is recommended:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

Itunes sync problems (and wish list)

No doubt the iPhone is the most beautiful mobile phone with the greatest (and most consistent user experience). Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for iTunes! This tool (and being forced to use it) is the single greatest frustration in the iPhone experience!
I am sure many may not agree with me, especially considering it works fairly well as long as you don't change computers, want to sync two different iDevices (with same account BUT different content), temporarily remove apps/songs because of storage limitations, use app folders and expect iTunes to respect their content and placement, or try anything else outside iTunes limited scope. In short, iTunes is either incredibly non-inuitive, I am an idiot for not figuring it out, or it is absolutely the worst part about the iDevice family.
My problems began when I changed computers and since then, I have not been able to sync to my new computer. The problem is (or seems) that iTune is insisting on syncing in *one direction only*, with the message, "Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone "xxxxxxx" will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library." This message appears when I attempt to check the Sync Apps check box.
So what do I do? I have already deleted iTunes and reinstalled it.
- Yes, I have right-clicked on DEVICES, and selected BACKUP and SYNC and TRANSFER PURCHASES (why so many options AND what the heck are the differences?)
- If I ignore that dire warning and select Sync Apps, the preview window shows all my apps in a jumbled mess. In stark contrast, my iPhone apps are arranged in my own logical order and placed in organized app folders. I am afraid if I click SYNC, this is the mess that iTunes will send to my iPhone!
All I want to do is start over... I just want to back up (or sync) the contents of my iPhone like I have done for the past two years.
Can someone please tell me how to sync iPhone ---> iTunes?
I love iDevices... if I have to purchase another tool, I am happy to do so.
What about Touchcopy? http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php?gclid=CPqksPK0wbICFYdxQgodV EQAGQ
Or is iTunes more capable than I realise?
Thank you for your kind assistance!

Oh yes, my wish list for iTunes:
- Clearer messages that are more intuitive than what appears now.
- The ability to store/swap apps/music/etc. temporarily off-line (because of iDevice storage constraints)
   A backup/offline storage area that is ignored when syncing
- iTunes should respect apps and app folder content and placements
- Allow for multiple iDevices (with different content) on same iTunes account
   I have an iPod, iPad, and iPhone - I want to be able to independently sync them on a single computer
with a single iTunes account.
- Make it easier to sync in either direction (and change sync direction)
- Allow syncing (or backing up) of apps content. For instance, QUICKVOICE app! I cannot sync the content of this app! Apple doesn't allow access to the datastores (like Android) - very frustrating that I may have to resort to backing up this audio analog via an audio cable! Ridiculous!
- Allow us to use the iDevice as a temporary USB storage device! Grrr... this is frustrating that I cannot do this! I admit, this has little to do with iTunes
   However, it is the forced requirement of iTunes that is frustrating. This means that I cannot easily place documents to/from my iPhone (documents too large to email) when I at work because iTunes is not an allowed software.

Address Book Syncing Problems and Won't Restore

I sync address book between two computers using .mac, and also publish it for another family member to use. This was working fine under Tiger, but I've recently noticed some issues in Leopard. Occasionally, instead of merging records, it will double them up. This morning, I noticed I had twice as many contacts as I should. For some reason, it added my entire .mac address book again back to my computer. Other times it had done that with only a few of the contacts.
Fortunately, I had done an Archive my address book just the other day. Unfortunately, it didn't help. I went to restore from the Archive using "Import" and "Address Book Archive". It warned me it was about to replace my entire address book with the Archive, but then nothing happened. All my contacts disappeared, but then all of them came back again, still doubled. I know it was not doubled when I did the archive, so it didn't really restore my Archive.
I finally fixed my doubled contacts problem by doing a one way sync from my second computer (which had not yet been affected by this) to .mac and then a one way sync from .mac to my laptop. I then turned off .mac syncing.
Then, a little while later I had 20 more contacts! I realized that this came from the fact that the address book is published and the subscriber has editing rights. But she did not add them. It was again a doubling problem, this time in the sharing function. So I turned off editing in sharing.
All is back now but I won't turn .mac syncing or shared editing back on until I understand what happened.
Anyone else see these issues?

leopard 10.5.1 on macbookpro. instructions to fix missing sync for my treo 650 including backing up (exporting) then restoring the address book. i also am unable to restore.
the backup archive shows 6 MB.
i click import, choose the archive, verify that i want to replace all. the address book then shows only the address that was highlighted before import, still shows 1152 cards, but no other cards are visible. verified the search box is empty.
if i quit and restart address book, the original version of the address book is still there. apparently unable to import address book.

ICal, Google Calendar, syncing problems and duplicate entries

Hi everyone:
I could use some help. Oy.
At work, we use Google calendar, and that hosts my appointments. I find the Google web-interface impossible, and would like to use iCal to access the data on the Google servers. I have no problem doing that with iOS--my iPhone and iPad manage to sync up fine, and syncing works in both directions; i can add and delete either on Google or on the iOS devices and everything is fine.
But on my desktop machine, I have problems of two sorts. First, once I follow the steps to add a calendar, the syncing seems broken; I can add and delete from the Google web interface, but nothing deleted from the desktop gets passed to Google. Second, I have many duplicate entries that show up on my desktop and some very old appointments that no longer should be on the calendar show up out of no where.
What I'd love to do is a full reboot, eliminating all calendar data everywhere (except on the Google servers, of course, where the work stuff is stored) and start from scratch. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance--
Roger

Have you tried rebooted your Mac? (Not needed often, so we Mac users often forget to try this. ) Are you logged on with an admin account or a standard account? (Or one with Parental Controls enabled.)
Sometimes I'll find the dialog window "behind" my other windows. Try not to click or move your mouse after you click the plus button. Or try moving windows around or minimizing them so that any windows that are hidden behind other windows are then shown. (In fact try closing all apps and Finder windows to reduce the possibility of this issue in the first place.)
(BTW, your question really is separate from the original question, since the OP already has their Google account added to iCal and you are having trouble adding the account. In the future you'll want to start your own thread so that you can also mark posts answered or helpful.)

Sync problem and more

When I attach my new Ipod to my computer, it indicates it is syncing, but then it shuts off and the Ipod no longer shows up on the device list. Also, there are no playlists listed. Not all of the podcasts I've added to my library appear on the Ipod after synching. What could be the problem?

Have you tried restoring your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

10.9.2 Audio problems (and "reportcrash" stuck)

Since updating ive been having problems. My MBox2 has been rendered useless. The audio from both daw and sytem is distrorted and garbled when it does work. I reinstalled the latest drivers, I repaired permissions and disk and even reinstalled the system; no dice, still fustratingly distorted audio. I don't know what else to do, I need this to work. Even though the built in line out I've been getting these horrible pops(since 10.9.1) Also now VLC hangs for a while on launch and causes "reportcrash" in the activity monitor to constantly use over 100%cpu and force quitting only causes it to respawn, I have to restart the system. While I'm glad my mail now works again, I wish I could revert back to 10.9.1. I'd happly take mail issues over the loss of my audio interface and production workflow.

Sorry, forgot to mention -
Our Windows PC (AirParrot installed) can still mirror to ATV. So can our IPhones
IPhone, Android tablet, Windows PC can all still connect to/access files on LaCie CloudBox.

IPhone Syncing Problems and

Everytime I sync now. It takes a longer amount of time to sync. Even if there is nothing there. It takes over 5 minutes versus a minute or less. What happnes if you do a restore to your iPhone? How much stuff do you lose? Do you lose all your contacts if you havent synced them from your Address Book?

There's more to sync, so it will take longer. Even if you haven't changed any contacts or other content it must compare the desktop to the phone to know that.

2014 Sync problems on iPod classic / Please help!! 2014

Hello community!
I really need some help with this problem I am having... I have done some research for the past few days on my own but nothing I have found has helped.
First some specs on my device...
iPod Classic: 80 GB (I believe this is iPod with video, assumed on the fact that it supports movie syncs)
iPod software version: 1.1.2 (up to date according to iTunes)
Formatted for Windows
Syncing to Dell Inspiron with Windows 7
iTunes updated to current version (11.4)
I had much mof my music library uploaded onto my iPod for quite sometime. (close to 14,000 songs synced at 192 kbps) I often like to put my iPod on shuffle and just listen to whatever comes on, but here and there I will skip songs until something I am in the mood for comes on... I began to notice that my iPod was freezing (ON THE DISPLAY ONLY!!! Playback through speakers continued) when I would skip through songs... Once the screen dimmed however, I could once again skip to the next song. I figured this was a problem concerning corrupted files or something similar. These are the steps I took..
1.) Updated iTunes to version 11.4 and checked for further updates
2.) ATTEMPTED to check disk within Windows (was unsuccessful and heard the iPod making a lot of 'clicking' noises from within the casing)
3.) Performed an iPod restore within iTunes
4.) Performed a check disk within Windows and recovered any bad sectors (SUCCESSFUL)
5.) Selected 'Music' sync and the option for 'Entire music library'
6.) UNCHECKED 'Include music videos'
7.) Reconfigured settings as they were before and made slight changes..
     a.) Checked 'Open iTunes when this iPod is connected'
     b.) Checked 'Sync only checked songs and videos'
     c.) Checked 'Convert higher bit rate songs to '192 kbps' AAC'
     d.) Unchecked 'Manually manage music and videos'
     e.) Unchecked 'Enable disk use'
8.) Began a sync on my iPod... With well over 10,000 songs I knew this was going to be a lengthy process.. I left computer unattended..
When I returned to my computer, iTunes was unresponsive... The only way I could get iTunes to show was to minimize a Window on top of iTunes. iTunes states 'Syncing iPod... Do not disconnect' but does not show a rolling progress bar.. I cannot cancel sync, I cannot eject iPod, I cannot close iTunes...
I attempt to eject iPod device through windows, UNSUCCESSFUL (Cannot unmount generic volume while the device is in use)
I 'Ctrl+Alt+Dlt' to Task Manager and End Program 'iTunes' UNSUCCESSFUL..
I End Process 'iTunes.exe *32' and eject iPod through Windows SUCCESSFUL
When the iPod displayed 'OK to disconnect with load bar, I disconnected the device.
As soon as this bar was full iPod IMMEDIATELY rebooted completely and powered back up with only 20 songs synced. (Frustration ensues)
Confused and thinking maybe my screen saver caused an interruption during the sync, I changed screen saver and power saving options to eliminate any possible interruption, REPEATED STEPS 3-8 ABOVE, and started sync again.. Left computer unattended
Again, coming back to computer much later, iTunes was in the same unresponsive state. Closed iTunes and began looking for answers on the internet. Any and all answers I found stated I should restore iPod, update iTunes, run diagnostics tests, etc., etc...
All of which I had done EXCEPT for running a diagnostics test..
Running a diagnostics test: I ran only the tests concerned with 'Device Connectivity' and 'Device sync' tests.. Here are the very interesting results I yielded from these tests...
Device Connectivity Test:
Support services:
     'iPod support service is running.' Status: GREEN
     'iTunes Helper is running.' Status: GREEN
     'Apple Mobile Device is running.' Status: GREEN
Ports:
     'USB ports verified.' Status: GREEN
     'No FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports found.' Status: GREEN
     'iPod found.' Status GREEN
ALL TESTS PASSED
Device Sync Tests
Results:
     No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Status: RED
ONE OR MORE TESTS FAILED
I am at a loss, I realize that Apple has discontinued the iPod Classic but does that mean iTunes will no longer support these devices!?
And if ANYONE has ANY suggestions for possible steps I can take to regain syncing privileges to my iPod once again, please let me know!
Also, I have diagnostics test results saved on my desktop and available to post if required!
Thank you for any and all help!
-Chris

!UPDATE!
I made several adjustments to my sync options and made some progress and am now trying to sync in 'stages' as I like to think of them.
Here is what I did:
1.) Under 'Music' tab in 'My iPod' options I opted to sync 'Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres'
2.) Selected a small portion of tunes I know I want on my iPod (ended up being close to 3,500 songs.
3.) Under 'Summary' tab I unchecked the 'Sync only checked songs and videos' box
4.) Unchecked 'Convert higher bit rate songs to ___ AAC'
5.) Checked 'Enable disk use'
6.) Ran a SUCCESSFUL sync!
I am now running a sync keeping the same adjustments in place and have added 6,556 songs. (SYNC IN PROGRESS)
I am wondering if trying to convert that many songs to a lower bit rate is causing sync problems and it appears as if I am at least making progress on this. HOWEVER, I really prefer to decrease the bit rate on my songs so I may fit more on my iPod... Usually most of the files I have in iTunes are at 320 kbps with a select few at 192 kbps. I would like to make everything the way it was before my first iPod restore.. 192 kbps, but this also seems to be the cause of the sync problems I am having? Anyone else have a comment on this?
Thanks again

Audio sync problem with videos imported from iPod Touch

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I used to shoot video at a family birthday party. When I imported the footage into iMovie '11, the audio is not in sync with the video (video is about two seconds behind audio) and there is only the left channel of audio. I verified that the video on the iPod plays just fine--no audio sync problem, both left and right channels work. I just upgraded to iOS 5 on the iPod Touch. The iMac is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
As a workaround, I can import the video into iPhoto instead. When I play the video in iPhoto, there are no audio sync problems and both channels of audio can be heard. I have imported other iPod Touch videos successfully into iMovie '11 in the past few months, but this has been the first time these problems have occurred. Any help would be appreciated.

Premiere cannot handle clips with variable framerate.
Your converted clips need to have constant framerate.
Otherwise use a converter like Handbrake.

External Audio Sync Problem

I have video captured at 23.98 fps and I'm trying to match up external audio to the source audio on the clip. The external audio is a 48kbps wav file. When I match the beginning of the clip, the end goes way out of sync. If I try to alter the speed and get the end to match, the middle is still out of sync. I don't have this problem with video captured at 29.97 fps. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Tom, I'm having the same problem. Start with an AVI 30fps clip. Export to DV standard everything at 29.97. All works well. Then match up some sound taken at 48k on a very reliable, stable set of tools - used them before with straight DV from a Canon DVX 100A with zero syncing problems - and the movie and it's sound come up too short by a second or so over fifteen minutes. We should not be having this problem. Did you ever get it solved? Im on FCP version 6.
Thanks.
