Syncing Issues with iTunes - 2012 bug?

I plugged my iPhone 4 into my mini Mac last night to charge before I went to bed.  Both my iPhone and iTunes have the most current software.  When I got up this morning I saw that iTunes had failed to sync with my iPhone.  As a result, my iPhone is unresponsive.  The screen remains black when I press the home button or the top button.  I tried unplugging it and trying again.  iPhoto recognizes my iPhone and even lets me download pictures off my phone.  However iTunes just becomes non-responsive.  I succesfully charged and synced my iPhone on the 31st without incident, and my trouble has only begun since the beginning of the new year.  Does anyone know what is going on here or how I can atleast get my iPhone working again?  Thanks!

I think I have a similar  problem. I have a macbook and use itunes to sync my ipod every day. Everything has worked well for years until yesterday when I received the latest itunes update.
Now I cannot sync my ipod and itunes becomes unresponsive when I attempt to do so. I get that jolly beachball icon and the only way to stop that is to "force quit" itunes.
I tried (on advice) to restore my ipod to its factory settings but that had no effect and, to date, the only other suggestion I have had is to wait for the next itunes software update which is not very satisfactory.

  • How do I get rid of lip-sync issues with iTunes 10.2.2.12?

    Hi Everyone.
    Firstly, a very Happy Easter!
    I'm having lip-sync issues with iTunes playback on my PC. The video is largely smooth with the occaisional choppiness when the CPU is made to work hard. (Playback on my iPod Touch is fine).
    The system stats for my PC are at the bottom of the post.
    The sound is produced through a Creative Live Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card.
    Video is through a NVIDIA Geforce 6200 with 512Mb of RAM. (All video and audio drivers are up to date).
    The physical set-up is that I have iTunes installed on the C drive and my media installed on an external USB hard-drive.This isn't just a problem with 10.2.2.12 - it's been there for the last few updates.
    I suppose my main questions are:
    Should iTunes and my media be on the same drive? (Which would mean the external drive as I'm short on space on the C drive).
    Is there some combination of settings in QuickTime that will solve this? (I've tried different combinations, but it doesn't really help).
    Is the spec (below) of my PC causing any issues.
    Here's an Easter Egg for anyone able to help!!
    All the best

    Select *List view* instead of *Album list view*. These are in the View menu or the boxes next to Search, on the right top of iTunes.
    and the column next to it with a number in it that I have absolutely no idea what it's for. I want those two columns OUT.
    In List view, you can turn off every column (in menu View > View options) except track name.

  • Ipod classic syncing issues with itunes

    My IPod classic wont sync anymore and I fear the harddrive might be shot. the ipod deleted all my music randomly, I have restored it but now I cant get it to sync properly with itunes.
    Itunes recognises it, and starts syncing (in manual and auto) however it freezes a few songs in and doesnt get any further. When I unplug the ipod, the error message comes up saying ipod sync failed, and lists a number of songs which it could not sync (different songs every time)
    Is the problem with itunes or with the ipod harddrive?
    Appriciate any help with this one,
    thanks,
    Phil

  • Iphone wifi syncing issue with itunes 10.7

    My wife and I each have iphone 4's syncing on our respective computers running Win XP Pro SP3. After upgrading to itunes 10.7 and iOS 6, itunes doesn't reliably sync via wifi. It will sync once then won't a second time unless the computer is rebooted. If I try and click the sync button on itunes, it looks for the displayed iphone then says it can't find it and the iphone disappears.This is happening on both computers. I can direct connect the iphone with usb cable and sync, but it won't sync via wifi without rebooting. I've click the "sync with wifi" button off then on. Nothing works.
    We both upgraded to iphone 5's. It didn't solve the problem. I upgraded my computer to a new desktop running Win 8 Pro. Everything transferred fine and the initial sync went well, but the problem persists. After my iphone 5 sync'd with itunes overnight, the next morning it wouldn't sync again via wifi. Again, trying to initiate a sync from itunes caused the it to look for the iphone and not finding it, the iphone disappeared from itunes. Once I restarted Win 8 and itunes, the iphone showed up in itunes.
    It's not the iphones(it happened with both 4's and 5's), the computers(two differnet computers) or, the OS( happens with Win XP and Win 8) so it's got to be an isssue with iTunes 10.7 and possibly it's interaction with iOS 6. We didn't have the problem before 10.7 and iOS 6 (upgraded same time).
    Any suggestions? This is annoying to not have these reliably sync without intervention.
    Thanks,
    Z

    Just found another thread that helped...deleted the iTunes Library Genius file and now the Mac can load the library!

  • Ipad mini syncing issues with itunes : (x) items could not be synced

    I'm using ipad mini (non retina) 16GB with itunes 11.2.2.3. I had downloaded some games from itunes like asphalt 8, GT racing 2, infinity blade, real racing 3, dead trigger 2, and apps like garageband. When i tried to sync these games with my ipad. everything happened normally like
    syncing apps to 'superhornet's ipad' (step 6 of 6)
    copying 1 of 8: asphalt 8
    and later 'finished syncing'
    but after syncing is finished on itunes. A message appears on the ipad saying '14 items could not be synced. see itunes for more information'
    there is no message in the itunes that would tell what issue happened here.
    Due to this, the games i mentioned above does not get installed on my ipad. all i get is their greyed out icons which shows their name below them, when i touch any of those greyed icons they start showing 'installing' which never really completes.
    I have also tried to install apps by ifunbox, but it showed some error when i tried to sync those games.
    This issue doesn't happen with all the games. I had also downloaded games like 'the sandbox, ACR drift, shadow gun and they were installed without any issues.
    I had never played any game on my ipad. so far i had only used it as an ebook reader, video player and internet browser. so i have no idea if this problem existed before.
    and yes my computer is authorized, and i successfully sync all videos, music, ebooks with it.
    my PC's specs:
    AMD phenom II X4 B25
    4GB RAM DDR3 133MHz
    AMD radeon HD6770 1GB GDDR5
    Gigabyte GA78LMT-S2P
    my ipad is running iOS 7.1
    and itunes version is 11.2.2.3 (updated yesterday expecting it would solve the issues)
    I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this

    Found another thread with a few possible solutions. The one that worked for me was to delete the ipod photo cache in the "Pictures" folder. Here's the thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3390697

  • Syncing issues with iTunes

    I keep getting "disk not ejected properly" error message over and over when attempting to sync my iPod with iTunes.
    I'm using MacBook OSX 10.9.4 and an old iPod Nano.
    I've tried restarting computer, restoring Nano, downloading most recent version of iTunes.
    This problem has persisted over several months--sometimes the problem goes away long enough for me to complete a sync, and other times the error message reappears over and over again with a vengeance and I give up until the next day.  Then the next day, sometimes it will work, sometimes not.
    I'm not very tech savvy, but have usually managed to solve computer issues by googling the problem and trying solutions.  This one I've searched and searched only to find that the problem is apparently not uncommon, but few solutions offered.  I believe the problem is an iTunes problem, not my Nano or computer.  I don't want to buy a new nano if the problem is an iTunes issue.

    I think I have a similar  problem. I have a macbook and use itunes to sync my ipod every day. Everything has worked well for years until yesterday when I received the latest itunes update.
    Now I cannot sync my ipod and itunes becomes unresponsive when I attempt to do so. I get that jolly beachball icon and the only way to stop that is to "force quit" itunes.

  • Sync Issues with itunes 11.1.1 on OSX with iPod Classic.

    When I try to sync my iPod - after the upgrade to  itunes 11.1.1 - there are long delays, messages that say ipod cannot be found when it has not been disconnected, and a final sync phase that does not complete. Help appreciated. I am running OSX 10.6.8.

    I´ve fixed this issue as follows:
    1) did a backup of the iPhone in the cloud
    2) reset the iPhone in manufacturing mode
    3) restored the backup out of the cloud
    After that the sync with iTunes worked well also with movies.

  • 2 iPhone Household w/ Outlook Profile Sync Issues with iTunes beyond 7.3.1

    I’m huge Apple supporter and have to say this is the most frustrating computer issue I have ever come across. My wife and I both have iPhones and we sync them to the same pc except different Outlook profiles. iTunes 7.3.1 works fine when we sync our iPhones on each of out Outlook profiles, anything beyond 7.3.1 will automatically sync my contacts and calendar directly to her phone. It’s as if iTunes cannot distinguish between the two outlook profiles on the newer iTunes versions. I have tried both Outlook 2003 and 2007 with newer iTunes, and it's still not able to distinguish the two profiles.
    Any would be greatly appreciated.

    i have a similar problem, having one good and one bad outlook profile. Used to sync just fine against the good one (which is called 'new profile). new version is defaulting against the bad one, which has none of my contacts...
    where does one setup which named profile is to be used?
    thank you! any help appreciated!

  • IPod syncing issues with iTunes 10.3.1

    I was trying to sync my iPod Nano this morning to add some new songs. When it gave me the error message: "Attempting to copy the disk "xyz Ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I did a restore on my Mac Mini running iTunes 10.3.1, with no success. I tried to perform a restore on my MacBook Pro that was running iTunes 10.2.2. and it was successful. I then tried to sync with the Mac Mini again and got the same error message. Obviously Apple has an issue here. So if you have access to an older version of iTunes, try that as a workaround.
    running MacMini OSX 10.6.8

    Had the same problem with my iPod recently. The problem was due to a bad photo file and the -39 error appeared after synchronizing photos.
    The problem was resolved this way :
    In iTunes,I went  to the photos tab and unchecked the option to sync photos.I chose "Apply the settings" and synchronized. I re-enabled that option and synchronized again. All my photos were synchronized on my iPod and error -39 was gone !
    It's worth a try....

  • New ipod sync issues with itunes libraries

    my old ipod classic screen has shattered and a friend has given their old ipod classic, which has been erased of old data, so it is clean.
    the ipod connects fine, but when i go to "sync" in "file" it won't let me, i restored the factory settings on the ipod via "settings" and "reset settings", and restarted pc as itunes requested, but the only way to transfer the music was via "autofil" from "devices" menu, but i still can't autofil movies or tv shows.
    i noticed when i go to "file" it now says "sync songs" rather than simply "sync" but it still won't give me the option to sync, so how do i sync my whole library with my ipod.
    any advice would sincerely appreciated.
    many thanks.

    Not sure why this is occurring - no such problem with my iPad, nor with 3 different iPhones used over the last 4 years.
    Do you have manually manage music and videos selected under the Summary tab for your iPad sync preferences, or are do you have Sync Movies selected under the Movies tab along with Sync Music under the Movies tab and Sync Apps under the Apps tab?

  • Syncing issues with iTunes to iPhone 4 after new update

    After the recent software update of ios 7.0.4., my music was no longer syncing to my iPhone 4. All the songs are ticked and ready to go but nothing would happen. I tried doing it manually. I also restarted my computer and phone but nothing is still happening. I don't want to restore my iPhone. Just curious if there's another way to go around or if anyone else is having the same issues as of this new update.

    So far there is no fix, there are many threads on this topic and many people with this problem. We are all ticked off and Apple needs to fix this ASAP. They don't seem to care.

  • Syncing issues with itunes 11

    I can not get my ipad, iPhone or itouch to sync with itunes11...

    Okay, iTunes 11 (which version?) has been downloaded, but was it installed?
    Downloading and installing are not the same thing.
    What version of iTunes is actually installed on the computer?

  • IPhone sync issue with iTunes after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then iTunes does not see my iPhone 3GS and I am unable to sync. I've read the troubleshooting guide to no avail. What am I missing?

    If you are running v10.6.3 as your profile suggests, update to v10.6.8.
    Click your Apple menu / Software Update.
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
    See if iTunes will recognize your iPhone.
    If your software is up to date then try here >  iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • Sync issues with iPhone 6 Plus and iTunes

    I'm having issues with syncing my iPhone and iTunes.
    I am running: Mavericks 10.9.3 | iTunes 11.4 | iOS 8.0.2
    Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied).  The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs.  After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
    I had another issue with my phone when playing music.  When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found.  I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'.  I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle.  After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song.  I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
    I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again.  This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone'  tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play.  All played ok.
    I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening.  Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it.  My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
    I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S.  The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S.  When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app.  However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
    I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process. 
    So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful.   Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
    I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
    Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.

    Hi,
    Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
    Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running.  I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
    So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
    I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices. 
    The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem.  For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD,  this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music.  So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
    At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version.  However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time.  When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone.  This may just have been luck though at that time.
    Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on.  The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is  that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
    I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
    Thank you all for your comments.
