Syncing any device crashes iTunes

Syncing either my iPhone or my iPad crashes iTunes. Any suggestions?
I sent 3 crash reports to Apple. I restarted the Mac, I've restarted the iPhone & the iPad all to no avail.
Thanks in advance for any help.

No problems with ePub files. I put >90 on my 4GB iPad. More than likely its a problem with the ePub files themselves.
All I did was...
placed all my .epub files in a directory, went into iTunes, File->Add to Library, pointed to directory containing epubs, select the files... Done. Sync and they appear in iBooks.
Its worked with purchased epubs and a few docs I converted from other formats.

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

You may need to try this More than Once...
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

HT1212 i have an iphone 3s that was never connected to itunes but an icloud account was created and it is passcode disabled and i have tried the If you have never synced your device with iTunes recovery mode but it is still disabled

i have an iphone 3s that was never connected to itunes but an icloud account was created and it is passcode disabled and i have tried the If you have never synced your device with iTunes recovery mode but it is still disabled it connected to itunes for a minute and then back to disabled

Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
Where did you get the iPhone?

ITunes is freezing every time I try to sync any device

Every time I try to sync iPad, iPhone or iPod Classic, iTunes crashes. I have tried "netsh winsock reset" and deleting anti-virus programs. I have uninstalled and re-installed. iTunes works fine by itself so long as I don't try and sync a device -- then it hard freezes instantly (step 2 on iPhone). I even tried switching which USB cable I was using and which USB port. It is every device, every cord, every USB port; iTunes freezes solid whenever I connect any of my Apple devices. I ran diagnostics and the result was that all tests were successful. I have double and triple checked for any and all updates for iTunes and all of the devices... I'm at a complete loss as to how to fix this problem.
Problem started with new iTunes update about two weeks ago. I didn't notice it until I tried to sync my iPod with new audiobooks that I had purchased. I am running Windows 7 (which also recently updated itself).
Thanks in advance for any easy-to-understand explanations/suggestions.

Well reading some other discussions i have found to try deauthirizing and reauthorizing, that didn't work. I guess i could remove iTunes and reinstall, but i hate to do that. Maybe I should take all the music off and sync and then try putting it back on? Worked before i put music on there, but then there wasn't much to sync at that time. Anyone know of other possible causes that would make iTunes stop working?

When syncing iOS devices to iTunes, the memory allocations shown in iTunes are all over the place

There must be threads about this, but apologies for my inability to find any.
As the title says: I plug my iPhone or iPad into my iMac, and when I look at the memory allocation as displayed in iTunes, 6GB or whatever are free. Then I sync again, and suddenly 8GB are free. Sync again, and now 2GB are free - even though nothing has changed. I get this with both iOS devices.
Additionally, often what iTunes shows has no relationship to what the device says when I go into Settings: last week iTunes believed there were 0GB in Photos - because after all I had erased them! - but the iPad recorded 25GB, somehow.
Is this a known issue, or is something screwy with my system?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, but that's not really the issue. I do manage it manually - I've got a lot of smart lists, smart photo albums, and so on, all set up to sync with the iOS devices.
The problem is that the iPhone/iPad memory, as displayed in iTunes when the device is plugged in, seems to be very inaccurate and variable. When I plug the iPhone or iPad in, iTunes tells me (for example) that, with current settings, 5GB will be free. It syncs, and then suddenly 2GB are free. I sync again - changing nothing, so there should be no change in memory allocation - and suddenly 6GB are free. Somehow, despite syncing no books at all, there's a bizarre 60MB "Book" that iTunes tells me is sometimes on the iPhone, and sometimes not. That little stretch of purple just suddenly appears some days.
At times it tells me it's too full and can't sync at all. So I wipe, for example, 6GB off the "too full" iOS device, and after doing that suddenly 10GB are free, so I put the 6GB back on no problem. And after I add that 6GB back on, maybe there are 8GB free, or maybe 2GB, or maybe 4GB. In my world, 10GB-6GB=4GB, but iTunes is using quantum arithmetic or something.
Wiping a lot of photos off was great fun. I had iTunes unsync and remove all photos - so, in that line at the bottom, all the photo memory allocation disappeared. Cool. Mission accomplished. Then I clicked to another tab in iTunes, and suddenly the photo memory jumped back up to 15GB. Looked back in the Photos tab - nope, I'd told it to sync no photos at all. Checked the iPhone itself: oh, neat. 25GB of photos, despite not syncing any. Eventually, after repeating the process several times, all the photos were eventually gone, but the whole process was bizarrely complicated.
Basically, when I plug the iPhone or iPad into iTunes, iTunes seems to have no idea what the memory allocation actually is - which occasionally makes syncing complicated.
It's not a giant issue, but it's quite annoying - and I'm wondering if this is just me, or if this is a common issue. I think this issue may also be discussed in some of the "can't delete songs" or "can't delete photos" threads, but some of those threads are so long and cover so many different problems that they're kind of hard to read.

Suddenly, can't sync any songs from iTunes to iPhone, other help topics suggestions, not helping me :(

Everytime I try to sync any of my songs onto my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says: "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "(song name)", were not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because they could not be found." and then it stops syncing. It says there are 13 problems. Then when you expand to see the files, each one says: "(song name)"" was not copied to the iPhone "iPhone Name" because it could not be found." It can be any song, an old song from 7 years ago that I got off Limewire, or a song from a CD, or it can be a song I paid for from the iTunes store. Doesn't matter.
Couple weeks ago, I had no problems. Purchased new songs and had them in playlists on my phone. Then a couple days ago, I plugged my iPhone into the computer (to charge it), and suddenly my songs were removed off the iPhone. So I tried to put them back on, kept getting this error. So I googled it. I have spent the past 4 days TRYING to get things to work. I have looked through all the other similar questions, and tried suggestions on there. Nothing is working.
- There is no exclamation point beside any of my music.
- I have not changed the hard drives (I don't use my computer daily, probably once a week), (Windows is up to date also).
- I have tried re-adding the songs to the library.
- Everything still plays in iTunes.
- If I click on the file in its location, it will open it and play it in iTunes.
- I tried deauthorizing my account then reauthorizing it, didnt work.
- I have even removed all my music off my phone to see if that works, now I have 15 songs on it.
I did find it odd that when I looked in my purchased playlist, they were not there, but they are on the computer and on the purchased list (under the iTunes store on the side menu). At least I can use my iPod for when I'm in the car, but now I have to carry that around too, I'm getting quite frustrated. Normally I'm quite computer savvy, but I'm totally stuck on this one. And like most people, I rely on my iPhone WAY to much and let the little things affect my daily life. I hope SOMEONE can please help me?!?
(I don't know if it may even have to do with the fact that yesterday I finally got my iPhone updated to the latest IOS, (cuz I was finally able to download the update from iTunes... Unless that was a separate update) the one where it's like "do you want to cancel, download only, download and install").

After calling Apple Support. They kind of helped me. Since they pointed me in the right direction, I was able to fix the problem.
They were not actually songs, but ringtones I created in an app (and probably moved its location). Suddenly problem solved! Lol!

Sync a device using itunes

In the past I installed itunes on an old PC. I used to manage my media files in the itunes library within the PC. Then I connect the iphone to the USB port of the PC and hit "sync" my device. All the updated media files in my PC are updated for my iphone. That's great.
Now my old PC is not with me anymore. I have now a new PC. Again I download iTunes for the new PC (it requires iTunes64Setup instead of iTunesSetup.exe for my old PC).
At this time the new pc does not have all the old music/video in the media library. This is simply because I haven't finished importing all the files from backup.
What if now I connect the iphone to my new PC and hit "sync" device? I dare not to do that before asking.
Will all the media (music) files in the iphone be wiped out if i do that? In other word my concern is: whether this "sync" function means making the contents of my iphone to re-semble that of the PC or vice versa?
Has someone got the experience and can let me know?

You should be able to log into your account on a computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and 'deauthorise all' (deauthorising all is done via your account, not the Store drop-down menu).

How do i create a keyboard shortcut to sync my device on itunes on mac?

Hi,
i need help!
ive been wanting to sync my iDevice on itunes using only a keyboard shortcut, but i cant seem to be able to create it! please help me!

Jbrenner,
Not sure if you have found a suitable workflow. The best option in my view would be the COMMAND EDITOR option.
1. Launch COMMAND --> CUSTOMIZE from Apeture Menue.
2. If you are doing the custom command for the first time you'll have to duplicate the Custom Command menu, this can be done by selecting DUPLICATE on the menue which would by default display DEFAULT.
3. When you duplicate, you ll be asked to save the duplicated Custom Editor.
4. The duplicated custom editor basically will have all the DEFAULT short cut keys and you are now ready to customise it.
5. To customise it, select the Menu action from COMMAND GROUP and simply press the desired short cut for the action on you physical key board.
6. If the SHORT CUT is already used by Apeture, it will prompt whether or not you want to override the DEFAULT, hit yes.
7. As a last step dont forget to hit SAVE on KEY DETAILS tab.

Why can't I sync any devices?

Upgraded my iPod, iPhone & iPad to iOS 5 and transferred mobile.me to iCloud and now none of my devices sync with iMac or each other. Also lost all my bookmarks on my iPad. Under Settings all are set to my old me.com account and all have everything checked to sync. The only thing that seems to work is I made 1 purchase in App store on my iPod and it automatically sent to iPhone.
I really need advice I need to keep them all sync'd and need my bookmarks back on my iPad.

What exactly happens when you try to sync? Does it go through the steps?
Does any media sync to the iPod
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Can't backup any device in iTunes

Hi,
I recently screwed up my iTunes library and had to start a fresh in a different location. Now when i attempt to backup any of my iOS devices i get the message:
'iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt. Delete the backup and try again'.
Well I have deleted the backup and it has made no difference. I have read previous threads that state I need to delete the folder located in 'library - application support - mobile sync - backup'. However no such location exists on my mac. When I go into application support, there is no mobile sync folder.
Please does anybody have any suggestions as to what else I can try as I need to backup my devices before i update to iOS8.
Thank you in advance.

That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, try Vortical's technique from the following post:

But if you're using Windows 7, try itunesTRK's suggestion from the following post:
