Syncing contacts causes sync to hang

My phone works fine, and sync works fine... as long as I don't sync contacts. If I check the box to sync contacts, the sync stops right there forever - an eternal "Sync in Progress." If I uncheck the option to sync contacts, no problem.
Upgraded this week to Leopard, iTunes 7.5, and iPhone 1.1.2 - problem has arisen since doing the upgrades.

Try creating a group and put a few contacts in that group.
If that group sync ok, ad a few more contacts.
Keep adding a few contacts until you start getting the same issue.
If the sync hangs, then you know that the last contact or contacts are what is causing the issue.
Hope this helps.

  • Active Sync process "hanging"

    Hi Experts,
    Last weekend an Acticve Sync task "hung" for 2 days. The Active Sync is scheduled to start every 24 hours at 8:30am.
    This morning however its status was "Started, executing" yet nothing was being logged. I would expect something as its log level is 4.
    The last time the AS was started was Friday but having the task in this state prevented the Saturday or Sunday morning runs from being executed.
    The only way to recover was to reset IdM by restarting the webserver.
    What circumstances could cause Active Sync to 'hang' like this?
    Has anyone else suffered this sort of situation and if so was the cause determined?
    Any hints or tips appreciated.

    We have experienced this behavior on a fairly frequent basis with our Active Directory Active Sync processes.
    We are not sure why the system behaves this way.
    We are in the habit of manually monitor the active sync jobs on a daily basis.
    We have the log level set to 2 on our 11 Active Directory resources.
    We view the timestamps on the log files to determine if the Active Syncs are truly running.
    Our 11 Active Directories run every 3 hours. I note this because the time stamp on the log files should be older than 3 hours (in our case) if the Active Sync (A/S) process is truly not running.
    Here is our process when restarting the A/S.
    1. Make sure the Task SARunner:<Active Directory Resource> is running.
    a. Go to the Tasks form and get a list of All Tasks.
    b. Find the SARunner:<Active Directory Resource>. If this task is not running then you need not read any further because you will need to recycle your Websever to get the Active Syncs to run.
    2. If the Task is running.
    a. Go into Debug and edit the Active Directory Resource.
    b. Change the Polling Start Time and Polling Start Date to the desired start time. Note: Set the start time at least 10 minutes into the future. So if at 11 am your making the change then set the polling start time to 11:10 (at a min.)
    b.     Save the changes.
    3. Navigate to the resources form.
    a. Stop the Active Sync
    b. Refresh the Active Sync
    c. Start the Active Sync
    d. Refresh the Active Sync.
    Good Luck.

  • At the end of sync itunes hangs with message waiting for files to be transferred....iphone 4s?

    at the end of sync itunes hangs with message waiting for files to be transferred....iphone 4s?-
    and just sits there for an hour or more... sync is not finished, nothing happens... Any ideas?

    I called tech support and they had me schedule a time to walk through the problem with an apple engineer last night.
    They acknowledged that they've been getting calls about this issue but that's all they said.
    Make a long story short there was no solution. I ended up backing up all my info, contacts, notes ect. to the cloud and restoring the iPhone to the factory settings, then I synced back to the cloud but did not restore from a previous back-up just use as a new phone then manually check off the media pictures, music, movies ect.
    It's not the ideal way but it worked for me because I don't have a ton of stuff on the phone and I can even sync wirelessly now where's before I couldn't check that feature on in iTunes because it wouldn't sync.
    One thing since you can't restore from a previous back-up make sure to manually back up your camera roll or turn on photo stream to back up photos to the cloud.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sync manager hangs without Outlo

    Hey, folks!
    I'm new. Joined up because I'm having a problem and so far Tech Support is not helping.
    I have a ZEN Vision:M 30Gb. My comp runs Windows XP. I don't have Outlook. When I try to run the Sync Manager, it opens a dialog to set up Outlook even though I configured the Sync Manager not to synchronize with Outlook. When I click Cancel to get out of the Outlook dialog, I get an alarm box complaining that Outlook couldn't be opened. I click its OK button, and then Sync Manager hangs until I reboot.
    Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a good fix? Tech Support suggests I download the newest version of the sync manager, but I can't find it on the downloads page. (there's nothing mentioning it under MP3 Players>ZEN>ZEN Vision:M.)
    Thanks in advance for any info/advice!!
    Ealasaid

    I don't understand what you're getting at with your question, but I am having the same issue. When syncing music, I will get an error message, the kind that wants me to send an error report to Microsoft. Then it shuts sync down.
    TTT for ya.

  • Safari causing full-system hang

    For a while now I've been getting the SBOD irregularly in Safari, since 3.x if I remember right. I've got some time off work at the minute so I'm finally looking into this properly, and here's what I've found:
    There seems to be two separate conditions. The first happens on loading some, but not all web pages, causes a lengthy hang in which the entire system (even invoking Dashboard or Spaces) becomes unresponsive. In the console this accompanied by an entry similar to the following:
    05/10/2010 08:15:47 /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari[242] ATS AutoActivation: Query timed out. (elapsed 5.0 seconds. params: queryString = {comapple_ats_namepostscript == "Helvetica-Neue" && kMDItemContentTypeTree != com.adobe.postscript-lwfn-font}, valueListAttrs = {<CFArray 0x6f5710 [0xa008dee0]>{type = immutable, count = 1, values = (
    0 : <CFString 0xa01602c8 [0xa008dee0]>{contents = "kMDItemContentType"}
    )}}, sortingAttrs = {<CFArray 0x6f5730 [0xa008dee0]>{type = immutable, count = 1, values = (
    0 : <CFString 0xa01603a8 [0xa008dee0]>{contents = "kMDItemContentModificationDate"}
    )}}, scopeList = {<CFArray 0x6f5750 [0xa008dee0]>{type = immutable, count = 1, values = (
    0 : <CFString 0xa0161a98 [0xa008dee0]>{contents = "kMDQueryScopeComputer"}
    (sometimes it names a font, sometimes the font name is "_")
    I suspect this means some vestigial adobe product has messed my system right up. I used to use CS4 but have long since removed it. I also have Air and Flash (the current gala beta) installed. I have had fontbook validate Helvetica Neue and check all fonts for duplicates - if external disks are plugged in at this time they all spin up.
    The other case is when downloading a file through clicking a link or alt-clicking a link (right-clicking a picture and saving it to the downloads folder does not cause this behaviour), and is accompanied by this much sparser line in the console:
    05/10/2010 08:25:06 kernel disk0s2: I/O error.
    The files themselves can be opened, moved and copied without incident and at regular speeds, so I doubt disk corruption. I've also performed a few full clone/restores on my boot disk with no effect. My initial thoughts were to blame a long-forgotten folder action that sorted downloads into different places (including a network share, if present), but disabling folder actions has not helped.
    So, any ideas? I'm fresh out.

    A workaround for the font-problem seems to be to turn off ATS - it's in FontBook.
    The second issue still eludes me.
    Things I have tried:
    Trashing ~/Library/Safari/
    Trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari*
    Cleaning out every vestigial trace of anything suspect I had on my system (google keystone, logitech control centre, SIMBL, The Spark, iStat Menus, folder actions)
    Interestingly, the issue is not present for the guest user, so it IS something wrong with my user account. I just can't figure out what.
    Yes, making a brand new account would fix all this, providing I'm meticulous about testing the issue as I move /Users/Old/ into /Users/New/, but I'm kind of loathe to give up. It's surely something really simple!

  • Sharpener Pro 3 has problems in Aperture as the Pre sharpener continually asks one to buy or activate and the Output Sharpener causes Aperture to hang. Have removed all duplicate fonts and tried using a new user account. Any ideas?

  • Non-Apple browsers cause cascading system hang with clean install of Lion

    It started with Google Chrome.  After a few hours of use, Chrome would randomly lock up one renderer at a time until it was completely unresponsive.  Console showed nothing conclusive in the logs, and would soon lock up itself.  Logged-in Terminal windows could sometimes get as far as a "ps auxc", but would lock up during the command output, and new Terminal windows or tabs would never get past login.  The SSH daemon would be dead in the water, preventing me from logging in remotely.  Any existing SSH connections would hang on the first command.  Activity Monitor would lock up the moment I tried to sample a process or interact with anything.  Interacting with SystemUIServer (pulling down the menu for the clock or trying to do a Spotlight search) would cause SystemUIServer to hang.  Same with the Dock.  My mouse was like the Midas of software failure: everything I touched turned to hang.  Eventually I'd be staring at a spinning beachball.  After a few (five to ten) minutes, it might perform a couple queued events (opening a window, switching to another application) but would usually become wedged again immediately, forcing me to hard restart.
    I then tried installing Firefox 5, and discovered that it causes the hang fairly reliably within the first ten seconds.  Since I knew when it was about to happen, I managed to capture a few stack traces in Activity Monitor, but it was always different, and always somewhere in the kernel (usually file-system related: __getattrlist while scanning fonts one time, the open system call another).
    Safari, on the other hand, works great.
    I've tried performing a verification of my startup disk, which returns no errors, so although I'm not ruling out hardware failure at this point the problem started immediately after I upgraded to Lion, and persisted even after I wiped my hard drive completely and performed a clean install from the recovery partition.  It also doesn't seem to be completely the fault of either Chrome or Firefox, since they're different browsers with different rendering engines using different system frameworks.  They do both perform a lot of file I/O, so maybe that's a clue.  Another possible lead is the seemingly random errors Console will spew out while the hang is occuring.  Most recently I've gotten a screenful of '--ImageKit Error: updateGLTextureWithBitmapData: glPixelStorei returned an error : 506 ...', and before that it was 'Google Chrome Helper: CGSLookupServerRootPort: Failed to look up the port for "com.apple.windowserver.active" (1100)', "kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero".  Console spew being what it is, though, I don't know if any of that is relevant.
    I figure I would be seeing quite a lot of angry forum threads if Chrome and Firefox were completely unusable on other people's machines, so I'm guessing there's something specific to my configuration happening here.  With a clean install, though, I'm not sure what it could be.  Here are detailed system specs:
    24" iMac (Early 2008 -- just out of AppleCare coverage, figures) , 2.8 GHz, 2GB RAM, running Lion build 11A511 (which should be the 10.7 release version).
    I would be massively indebted to anyone who has experienced or heard about this issue before and can give me something else to try.

    Zeroing the disk serves no purpose in this situation.  It is a common misconception that this is required to map out bad blocks on the drive, but the fact is that 1) modern hard drives map out bad blocks as part of everyday operation, and 2) zeroing the drive involves simply writing zeros with no checks to see if the zero was written successfully, so it wouldn't know if a block was bad anyway.
    It's possible the drive is starting to go bad, although then there should be some problems with SL as well.  I would recommend repartitioning the drive with Disk Utility.  Make sure it's got one partition, using the GUID partition map scheme, and format that partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Repartitioning should get rid of any gremlins lurking on the disk, unless the physical disk itself is dying.  And after repartitioning, install straight from the flash drive, as Shootist recommends, rather than installing SL first.
    Hardware could be an issue.  It's entirely possible for an older system to work fine on slightly faulty hardware while a newer system does not.  Running Apple Hardware Test wouldn't be a bad idea.
    Firmware updates wouldn't be a bad idea.  However, note that my mid-2010 MBP with the same specs is running Lion just fine, and I've never installed any firmware updates.  (Firmware updates scare me...  if my machine is running just fine, I'm reluctant to risk installing new firmware.  But that's probably just a bit of paranoia talking.  )

  • On my PC, iTunes 11.0.3.42 causes it to hang when attempting to view a .MOV (1.6GB) requiring a cold boot. What could be causing this?

    On my PC running windows XP Service Pack 3, iTunes 11.0.3.42 causes it to hang when attempting to view a .MOV (1.6 GB) requiring a cold boot. What could be causing this? Corrupted .MOV? Too little RAM? It successfully plays a 162 MB .MOV.

    Hello David,
    Thank you for providing all that information about the iTunes issue you are experiencing.  We would first want to rule out any software issues before we can determine if it has to do with RAM.  I found an article that will help you isolate and troubleshoot software issues that could be causing iTunes to behave this way:

    I hope this helps you get back on track with watching movies in iTunes!

  • Reloading Plug-In Page causes browser to hang during stress test on IE & NS

  • Loading my VI in LabVIEW 8.2.1 causes LabVIEW to hang.

    Loading my VI in LabVIEW 8.2.1 causes LabVIEW to hang.  I have an older version that sometimes loads, but it causes LabVIEW to hang many of the times as well. I think the older version of my VI only hangs when you try to scroll around by clicking in the scroll bar area instead of clicking the scroll arrow.  I am not getting any error messages.  I have to close LabVIEW using the task manager.  I've tried this on multiple computers with the exact same results.  The VI has sensitive information, so I would rather not post the VI publicly.  If you have the capability of debugging a hung LabVIEW .VI, then please send me your email information.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt,
    nice to hear that trick helped. Usually LV informs you about any "insane objects" before saving, in this case you should perform this procedure immediatly... When the vi "kills" LV while loading it's too late.
    To rate messages you should click on those "kudos" buttons right to the message. Once should be fine, but it's Christmas time and nice to give away presents Maybe you're too new to the forum and this option isn't enabled yet?
    Best regards,

  • Kodo extension under JBuilder7 causes it to hang

    Hi,
    I'm using JBuilder7 with Kodo 2.3.2 and it seems like the IDE freezes or
    hangs when I'm
    compiling code.
    If I run JBuilder with the -verbose enabled I see the following:
    Tue Oct 08 14:12:53 EDT 2002: + JDOEnhancerTask.build
    (jdoFileUrl=file:///D%|/J
    DOTestProjects/JDOPrototypeTest/src/com/siemens/financial/jdoprototype/bos/P
    ersn
    ame.jdo,buildProcess=com.borland.primetime.build.BuildProcess@64aafa
    Exception occurred during event dispatching:
    Does anyone know what could be causing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Based on the information you posted, there are two possible causes for
    this problem: either one of the methods in our enhancer task is causing
    the hang (seems unlikely given the undeterministic nature of the problem),
    or we are throwing a RuntimeException out of the OpenTools build()
    method, which is in turn somehow causing JBuilder to hang.
    In Kodo JDO 2.3.3 and prior, there were three lines after the one that
    caused the printout you reported and before a try-catch block that catches
    all exceptions and does some reporting. 2.3.4 includes these three lines
    in the try-catch block.
    So, my anticipation is that the hang will go away, replaced with a build
    error triggered by the unexpected exception.
    It is also possible that the hang is occurring in our code, in which case
    you'll continue to see the hang. Hopefully that's not the case. If it is,
    please try to give us a reproducible test case (we have yet to see this
    problem internally).

  • Sites using flash/shockwave cause Firefox to hang.

    If the shockwave flash plugin is enabled on version >22, visiting a site that contains flash content will cause Firefox to hang/react extremely slowly. I've tried disabling all add-ons with no effect.
    I'm using shockwave flash 11.2.r202.310 but it doesn't seem to matter when version of flash I use.

    Thanks for the replies guys.
    ComputerWhiz: No firewall or AV installed on my laptop.
    cor-el: Nothing works. It is the shockwave flash plugin + >=v23 that is the problem. I've tried safemode, I've completely deleted everything eg moving the .mozilla directory and started a virgin firefox with the same results.

  • Transferring photos from camera or memory card causes iPhoto to hang up with the spinning beach ball - why

    Transferring photos from camera or memory card causes iPhoto to hang up with the spinning beach ball - why?  This happens only on a 5 year old iMac running 10.6.8.  It is a recent developmemt.  All other machines have no problen with the same card.

    I click on the send feedback everytime it pops up with the force quit, so they'er getting it.
    That sends a crash report. Its doubtful that these are ever seen by a human being, but more likely datamined. Sending feedback reaches an actual person.
    My guess from yourdescription is that the portion of the OS (note, OS, not iPhoto) that manages the importing process is what's crashing.

  • Switch to RAW decode 2.0 causes Aperture to hang

    My apologies if this has already been posted. I didn't see this question anywhere else in the forums.
    I converted to Aperture 2.0 and have a library of about 25k images. I have shot with a Nikon D100, D200 and D300 and have images from each in my library. I am pleased with the appearance of many of my images with RAW decode 1.0 and 1.1 so don't want to migrate my entire library to 2.0. I am able to convert some of my images to 2.0 with no problem. Several images, though, refuse to convert. When switching the decode from 1.0 to 1.1 or 2.0 or from 1.1 to 2.0, I get the spinning beach ball of death and have to force quit Aperture. Sometimes the image will convert when I restart Aperture and sometimes it won't. One image in particular was shot with my D100 and consistently causes Aperture to hang when changing the decode from 1.0 to 2.0.
    Any ideas on how to fix this problem and get that image to decode 2.0?
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • After Yosemite, a new email message causes Mail to hang

    After upgrading to Yosemite last evening, opening a "compose new message" window in Mail causes Mail to hang (crash?). I'm able to receive email messages, but  I can only send messages by booting my MacBook Air in "Safe" mode. (Opening Mail in "safe" mode does not keep Mail from crashing when I open a "compose new message" window.)
    I haven't been able to get far enough to see if trying to "send" a message will make Mail crash. Just opening a "compose new message" window and trying to put the cursor in the address line, subject line, or message area will cause Mail to spin away into infinity.
    I do use three Mail add-ins: MailTags, Mail Act-On and the Daylite Mail Assistant; but all of those are the most current versions and their developers claim that they are compatible with Yosemite.

    Welcome to Yosemite beta. I havent been able to use Mail since I "upgraded" 4 days ago. Apparently the solution is to wait until Apple figures out what went wrong.
