Updated 10.4.1 freezes, won't sync with iphone

i updated itunes on my laptop to 10.4.1 and it now freezes up and does not recognize my iphone4 or ipad, yet on each device it says syncing. I notices that itunes is using 100% of the cpu capacity, this should not be normal.  I have rebooted, uninstalled, and reinstalled several times no changes. Any suggestions?

Seems that 10.4.1 was a bad upgrade for windows users. There was another thread that gave a protocol on things to remove I'm trying I'll let you know if it worked. If you have time to burn here it is:
CORRECT SOLUTION (by AppleTeam )
1- Uninstall the old version of itunes you have (or just uninstall iTunes if you are already running 10.4.0.80
2- Uninstall Quicktime also
3- Uninstall Apple software update
4- Uninstall Apple mobile device support
5- Uninstall Bonjour
6- Uninstall Apple application support
(I would shutdown wait 20 seconds then fire up the computer at this point and then come back and install itunes)
7- Reinstall iTunes 10.4.0.80
Apple Tech said you HAVE to uninstall in this order. After I did this, the App Store started working correctly.

  • ITunes Freezes, Won't Sync With iPhone

    I am relatively new to the Macbook family. Since I have purchased my Macbook air, the only complaint I have had is with iTunes. I have every upgrade that has been pushed out. The problem started when I first imported my library from an external hardrive, nothing would copy over, I reformatted the drive to work better with the Macbook and lost 8000+ songs. No big deal to me because it was time to clean a lot of the collection out. Now the external hardrive is fresh and formatted correctly. I have changed my library location to the hardrive and my music will show up in the library and play. However, it freezes all the time. The other issue I have is when I try to sync my iPhone 5 nothing will copy over, it starts then just gives me a message that itunes could not copy to iphone because the file could not be read or written. It makes no sense to me since all the files will play. Not sure what to do, I've done a million searches and nothing. I hate to say it by my iTunes, external harddrive and iPhone all worked flawlessly on my Windows machine. Any suggestions would be appreciated before I make a call to Apple Care.
    Thanks!

  • My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

    My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

    I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.

  • 2 songs that won't sync with iPhone 4

    I have 2 "songs" in iTunes that won't sync with my iPhone 4. I say "songs" because they are 30-minute treadmill workout songs that I purchased a long time ago when I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch and used the old Nike+ system that required a sensor in my shoe as well as a tracker attached to the iPod. I think it was one of the first issues of the Nike+ system. Anyway, I purchased OK Go's Master the Treadmill and another Treadmill Training compilation. Both albums contained a 30+ minute voice-over track with the songs and guidance for running. Then, the individual songs were included for you to listen to without a guiided workout if you wanted. Since I've had my iPhone 4 (about a year now), I haven't been able to figure out how to get these 30-minute voice-over songs to sync (the individual songs sync fine). They appear in a "Workouts" folder in iTunes - I think that was linked up to Nike+, but I'm not actually sure where that folder came from. They play on iTunes, but no matter what I do, I can't get them to appear on my iPhone. I've tried adding them to a playlist, creating a new playlist, but nothing works. The songs don't show up anywhere on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
    (I'm using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4)

    I'm in the same boat. I have an original iPhone which has been working fine for years. Always updated contacts, always synced with my calendars and contacts. Now my iPhone has done a software update and I'm stuffed.
    I can select the tick boxes to tell it to update contacts and calendars, then when the option to apply is selected it removes the ticks and starts to do a sync without actually updating anything.
    Part way through is comes up with the error that iTunes cannot update because a sync session cannot be started. I've tried a hard reset of the phone, re-installing iTunes, deleting multiple calendars. I've tried everything I've had suggested. Apple won't offer any support when I rang because my phone is old. They'll willing sell me new phone ! ! ! !
    I've trawled through nearly every web and forum I can. I've tried a multitude of so called fixes all to no avail.
    Having been an avid supporter of the iphone/itunes and apple, I am now so pi**ed off with it.
    I've been trying solutions for 3 days ! ! !
    And I STILL have no contacts or calendars on my phone.

  • Mac calendar and contacts won't sync with iPhone 5 since upgrading to Mavericks.

    Please,please, help,
    My mac calendar and contacts (and who know what else) won't sync with my iPhone 5 since updating to Mavericks. I have lost new medical appointments on my mac which never synced to my iPhone. I am completely frazzled as I am a very busy mum (who isn't!) and the call centre is closed! A am a bit of a technophobe but have discovered the "info" tab that appears when I connect my iphone to my mac to sync has disappeared with Mavericks. I hope someone out there can help me.

    Yes, you can reinstall your system from the backup you made before installing Mavericks. See this link

  • Ical won't sync with iPhone 5, iPad 2 or macbook pro.

    I have updated my devices and now my ical won't sync with iPad 2, macbook pro or iPhone 5.  How can I refresh them so they will all sync together.  I just noticed that when I added an event on my ipad2 it did not show up on my macbook pro.  I turned iCloud off then on again.  I also turned calendars on and off again.  Then the event disappeared from my iPad also.  So now it is only on my iPhone 5.  How do I sync ical with all my devices?

  • Playlists won't sync with iPhone

    Playlists created in iTunes 11.3 won't sync with my iPhone 5S running iOS 7.1.2. I am using Mac OS X 10.9.4 and connecting the iPhone via USB.
    Playlists created in the iPhone will sync to iTunes but if I add songs in iTunes, they are not added to the iPhone during sync.
    Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the syncing troubles?

  • Moved picture folders around now won't sync with iPhone

    I recently moved around some pictures and now most of my pictures will not sync to my iPhone.
    I have tried deleting the photo cache, moving pictures into a single folder and resetting the sync history, uninstalled iTunes, restored phone, copied all my photos to another location, and each time I get an error that that my iPhone can't be read or written to or the device times out.
    The strangest thing is most of the folders or pictures it doesn't seem to like were pictures that were on the phone previously or were not touched when I moved stuff around.
    I am running Vista and have even tried single folders and that works for some but most error out.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Then it is not a bootleg!
    I dowloaded the songs, and now it won't sync with my iphone.  I use icloud for my songs, and I also have imatch.  WHy can't I get these songs on there?
    It is possibly an incompatibility with audio format or sample rate. 
    First, make sure that the songs play in iTunes on your computer.  If so, right-click and choose "create AAC version."  Use the new AAC version with your iPhone.

    i'm pulling my hair out! my ical just won't sync with my iphone anymore. i wanted to reset sync history as suggested in some forums but lion doesn't have isync anymore.
    it is so frustrating as it is supposed to be easy to sync apple products!

    thanks again

    Thanks John, you're a star! it's back to normal, it was hours last night resetting my iphone but no luck. I reset my sync services this morning and it works!
    Why have Apple made it so difficult to do this, why hide things away? I spent ages looking for my library the other day as that was hidden! Mad!
    Much appreciated John,

  • ITunes music playlists won't sync with iphone 5 and iPad 3 on iOS 7

    my iphone 5 and "new" iPad 3 won't sync music playlists with itunes 11.1.4.62 and new iOS 7 platform.
    I have spent countless hours trying to correct!!!  What is taking Apple so long to address???  I get the greyed out songs with a circle on the left side (below).  Never had this issue until iOS7.  I'm running Windows 8.1.  HELP!

  • My calendar on iPad won't sync with iPhone

  • Ical won't sync with iPhone over iCloud

    I have an iPhone 3GS which doesn't want to sync with ical.
    I am successfully syncing ical between my MBP and icloud and vice versa, but the iPhone won't work. I have tried everything suggested by the apple support webpage. And everything else that i have found on google, so i'm after any other ideas?
    I have restored the phone at least twice, and still no luck. I am running latest version of ios...
    With icloud for ical turned on on the phone a LOT of battery power is wasted, with 0 use of phone it went down 20% in 1 hour. It looks like it's constantly trying to update, but nothing comes down to the phone, or goes up to the cloud.
    I am successfully syncing contacts between the phone, cloud and MBP - though this wasn't entirely straightforwards due to duplicates and other such issues with the phone.
    I'm getting very frustrated! The only bit I really *need* to sync to my phone is the ical. I can manage without everything else! Sigh.

  • ITunes 11: Newest podcasts won't sync with iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 5 - I abandoned the Podcasts app in favor of just syncing my podcasts through iTunes and listening to them in the Music app.
    But since the iTunes update last night, I haven't been able to sync the newest downloads of my podcasts (my settings are to automatically sync unplayed episodes of selected podcasts and delete them from my device once they've been played, upon the next sync.)
    I tried the usual re-set, restart of both iTunes and my iPhone. I've even selected a new podcast, and old unplayed episodes of it sync perfectly fine. But there are two or three podcasts that won't sync their newest episodes with my device.
    Has anyone else run into this?

    I had this issue as well. After trying various things, here's what I did to solve the problem:
    - rebooted both the computer and the iPhone (not sure if this is necessary or not)
    - turned off syncing of the affected podcasts (in iTunes, click on the device, then click the "Podcasts" tab at the top and then in the Podcasts list I unchecked the specific podcasts that were not syncing
    - sync the iPhone (by pressing the Sync button at the bottom right of the iTunes window)
    - turned syncing of the affected podcasts back on
    - sync the iPhone again
    Hope this helps.
