  • ITunes 12.0.1 now just "hangs" and does not complete the sync with my iPhone (iOS 6.1.6).

    Hello all,
    I've seen similar posts earlier in Apple discussions, but I haven't come across a definitive answer yet…So, let me ask again:
    Up until 6-7 hours ago, iTunes 12.0.1 was working perfectly well including syncing with my iPhone (I use an oldie but a goodie and it suits my purposes, iOS 6.1.6, 3GS).  Specifically iTunes now "hangs" and will not complete the syncing process with my iPhone. It get to "2 of 6" in the backing up process, and then the spinning beach ball appears. I keep my iTunes library on a separate external HD (USB).
    Even if I only want to launch iTunes 12 to use it (and NOT sync), the application freezes.
    In similar posted questions, "Linc Davis" has asked that the user run a diagnostic using the Terminal utility.  I have done this, and I paste the results below.
    Any help with this is appreciated!

    Dear Linc,
    Thanks, once again, for repeating yourself by sending me the message above (a message you have sent to MANY users with this problem)!
    However, you give me this great opportunity to say two things:  1) YAHOO! I fixed the problem, and 2) I want to share how I did so because I hope it helps others.
    With the help of reading info at this website http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/22/fix-the-itunes-library-itl-cannot-be-read-version -error-when-downgrading-itunes/, I followed this procedure:
    1) I deleted the iTunes 12.0.1 app from my computer
    2) In addition, in reading related details at the website above (i.e., by clicking on links on the page AND scrolling to the very bottom to view links to related articles), in my iTunes library folder, I changed MY CURRENT "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library.old", as the website advises. The current .itl file was the one being used by the iTunes app I had just deleted from my computer.
    3) I went to the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and dragged a copy of the second-most recent .itl file to my desktop (for me, this file was "iTunes Library 2014-07-23.itl").
    4) I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl"
    5) I then dragged a copy of the file in step #4 to my iTunes folder (the folder in which you now also have the "iTunes Library.old" file).
    6) I closed all remaining apps on my computer that were opened and I restarted it.
    7) Now, you don't have any iTunes app on your computer, so I downloaded a .dmg of iTunes 12.0.1.26 and installed the app (for example, you can download from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5661/apple-itunes.
    8) Once installed, I opened iTunes and immediately I got the dialogue box, "updating iTunes library" -- THIS TOOK FOREVER AS I HAVE CLOSE TO 1,000 SONGS + OTHER ITEMS IN MY LIBRARY!
    9) I patiently waited until the library update completed, but it DID COMPLETE.
    10) Viola!  iTunes 12 is not "hanging" (or freezing) any longer.  I can navigate around the application.
    CAVEATS:
    1) Before I first deleted "the corrupted" iTunes 12, I was able to open the Preferences panel, go to "Devices", and check the box that stops the app from syncing with my iPhone.  This setting seemed to carry over; thus, I have not tried to sync yet…WISH ME LUCK!
    2) After going through steps 1-10 above, I didn't immediately have Internet Radio available in the application (i.e., I didn't see it), but it is now showing up and it works!  I just had to wait for a few minutes...
    3) I also use iTunes Match, but I haven't turned it on yet in the newly installed app. On the iTunes Match page, it says, "Add this computer" or "No thanks". So, the app is behaving as if I'm just beginning to use iTunes Match for the first time.  Later, I will click on "Add this computer", and I hope it goes smoothly!
    4) This isn't a caveat, but I think I should say: my iTunes library is on an external USB HD (I have to say THANK GOD for that). Obviously, this has implications for doing steps 2 to 5 above. The newly installed iTunes 12 app had no trouble in finding where my library is (I had it set up this way back when I was using iTunes 10).
    5) One last piece of advice: Make sure that when you plug your iPhone into any other computer only to re-charge but the iTunes app on that computer wants to sync with your phone, you DON'T let it sync.  First, you should go to Preferences in the iTunes app and click on "Devices". Then check the box that says, "Prevent iPods, iPhones,…….from syncing automatically."  After that, you would be able to plug in your iPhone to another computer to re-charge it.
    FINALLY:  I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS WILLING TO SUGGEST SOLUTIONS TO ME REGARDING THIS PROBLEM!  I see that MANY users are having this difficulty, so I thought it would be fair for me to share how I resolved the issue -- my iTunes is running fine now...

  • Hit the application loader button and I accidentally removed everything from my phone.

    When I turned my computer on, the Blackberry Desktop Manager popped up.   I hit the application loader button and it completely deleted everything that was in my phone.  Is there anyway to get my information back.  I assume it is somewhere in my computer now and I am hoping I can reverse the process.  I noticed now that it says disconnected.  Obviously I am new to the process. Please help!  Thanks!!

    Have you done at least one backup action before with Blackberry Desktop Manager ?
    If yes - check your "My Documents" folder. There is a file with extension ipd
    And into this file there is the saved data from your device.

    Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
    Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.
