Updated to iTunes 11.2.1, phone won't sync and have to force quite iTunes.

Hi,
I just updated iTunes to 11.2.1, as well as the most recent Lion (? at work, can't look up which OS or version) update for my MacBook. Now iTunes will open, but it will not sync with my phone (I have an iPhone 4, A1332), and won't iTunes won't close without a force quit.
My phone does sync to iPhoto, which leads me to believe it's a problem with the new iTunes.
I've seen quite a few posts close to this, but they have iTunes crashing rather than opening and not syncing.
Is there a fix for this, or a new version coming out soon?
How can I downgrade to a working iTunes? I didn't have time machine set up, is there another way to revert?
Thanks

Sync now working. In Outlook, selected View, Current View, Events. Then View, Current View, Customize Current View, then Fields, all appointment fields, and moved reminder into the view. Then clicked every event that had a reminder, set the reminder to none, and eventually returned to the Day Week Month view. Next sync, all events synced both ways.
Success. !!

FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

When my MyBook external drive (where I keep my music) is connected to my Mac, iTunes stops responding upon startup. I have to force quit iTunes, disconnect the iBook, restart iTunes and plug the iBook back in.

no, if iTunes can't find its drive/folder, it defaults to creating one within your Home directory's Music folder.
If anyone knows a way I send a product suggestions to apple please let me know, as I have a few that would like to suggest.
under the iTunes menu choose the Feedback menuItem.

Hi there nikkifromziegler,
It sounds like your device is in recovery mode. I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps in the aricle below.

Why do I have to Force Quit iTunes so often?

On my old G3 iBook I remember I had to Force Quit iTunes (can't remember which ancient version that was) sometimes when it 'froze' after I clicked a new track title on a CD that was in the Drive.
In iTunes 6, this never ever ever ever ever ever happened. Never. Not once. Ever. I silently congratulated Apple on eliminating that annoying particular little glitch.
Now I've recently downloaded iTunes 7 - it's happening again !! Several times when I click to play a different track on a CD in the drive, I get "iTunes (not responding)" and I have to Force Quit. This is REALLY REALLY annoying. Why has this old fault returned?
(btw I just saw the thread below mine, about iTunes needing Force Quit after playing 2 tracks on a CD? This is NOT the same fault. iTunes will happily PLAY a whole CD without complaining - the problem occurs after I double-click to play a different track while another one is still playing.)

FWIW, I have had a similar problem, where iTunes froze on random songs at two seconds into the song. I would have to force quit, then restart. This occurred when I put in a CD to play from the beginning, while I did other things. I have not witnessed your circumstances when clicking a new track to play. I do not do this often, except after I restarted iTunes to continue the CD.
I just deleted the com.apple.itunes.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences and so far, so good.

Since updating to ios 7.1.2, phone won't sync with itunes

I'm using a macbook pro with mavericks as well as the latest version of itunes (11.2.2). I had some minor issues with my iphone 4s and was told by a guy at the apple store to update to ios 7.1.2 (from ios 7), and since this whenever I try to sync (via usb cable) it gets stuck at 'waiting for items to copy'/'waiting for changes to be applied'. Cancelling the sync causes itunes to freak out and I end up having to turn everything off and on again to no avail, with no new items being copied to my phone at all.
Is there anything I can do at all? Would it just be simpler for me to somehow undo the update to ios 7.1.2?

Please provide more information about your setup: iTunes on Windows or Mac? What version of iTunes?
When you say you "can't sync" do you mean the iPad doesn't appear in iTunes when you connect it or does it appear but give some error when you attempt the sync operation?
If it gives you an error message when syncing, what does it say?
If the iPad doesn't even appear in iTunes and you are using iTunes on Windows then read iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If that doesn't work and the iPad still doesn't appear then try iTunes: How to reset the Lockdown folder.

After updating to 8.1.2 my iPod won't sync and all artwork is missing

Has anyone else experienced this - updated to 8.1.2 this weekend, now iPod (5th gen) won't sync with iTunes on PC (skips straight to Step 4 without doing anything). All my music artwork is now missing too?

Correct sync settings are verified. Not sure why I should need to back up and restore - it synced fine before the "upgrade" to 8.1.2. Obviously I can reset/restore when I have time to do so, and hopefully that might work, but why have Apple released an upgrade that made my device unfunctional?

HT201413 my phone is disabled too many failed password attempts and i cant connect to itunes it says my phone is password locked and have to enter password to continue

im having trouble getting into my phone my phone is disabled have to connect to itunes but i get a error message sayin put in password to continue but i can get to the screen to enter it

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

10.5.3 won't Shut Down too often and have to Force Quit!

Right after 10.5.3 update, my iMac 24" often won't Shut Down at all, forcing me to use the ON/OFF button. Software that used to work fine like Firefox 2.00.14, PowerPoint 10.1.9, and You Synchronize 2.1.1 now lock up often and can't be Force Quit when they become unresponsive like before. This pretty much means the machine won't shut down either.
I've repaired permissions and all of the hard drives checked out fine. Any idea how to correct these unpleasant problems?

After further investigation it seems to be related (at least in my case) to a bug that affects firefox and 10.5.3 update.

Have to force quit iTunes 98% of the time

It did not improve with iTunes 8.
Every time i go to the iTunes store (purchase or not) when I want to quit iTunes I get the beach ball and the fan kicks on until I force quit. Much of the time just listing to music the same thing occurs.
Tips?

I'm also having a similar problem with iTunes 8.0.1 on Leopard 10.5.5
It consistently freezes when I'm using the iTunes Store. I'm usually able to browse the store and if I find what I'm looking for and make the purchase I can quit iTunes normally, if I leave the store before it freezes. If I wait for iTunes to freeze I'm unable to force quit, access the terminal, taskbar or anything else. I have to force the power off and reboot in order to use the computer again once I experience the freeze.
I had the good fortune to have two identical iMacs and have the problem on both. I've done a clean install on both computers and continue to have the problem on both after clean installs. The problem appeared shortly after the release of iTunes 8.0 on the first computer. I almost miss my Windows Vista Ultimate computer (almost).

HT1386 Upgraded to the latest iTunes (ver11) I have an iPod classic 30gig ver 1.3 Now I get iTunes not found, error 68 and 69 during sync. Diagnostics shows iPod, iTunes sees it but it won't sync and won't disconnect.

Since upgrading to version 11, my iPod will not sync properly. I get errors 68 and 69, iPod not found, no disc in drive, wrong volume in drive and iPod cannot be sync'd because I don't have enough access privledges. I have restored the iPod a bunch of times, reloaded iTunes twice and sacrifices a virtual virgin to a virtual god. Visited Genius Bar in Columbia, MD once and I have scheduled a second visit for this Friday, 1/4/13.
Is anyone else having these problems?

This is the iPod touch forum. I requested the moderators to move your post to the iPod classic forum.

Itunes, have to force quit, will not work since update

After the itunes and quicktime updates, itunes no longer works. After about 10 seconds after launching itunes, it tries to process and then you have to force quit itunes.
any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

brookesuk,
Thanks for asking...
A Quick primer
On Macs, the Macintosh HD (or whatever you have renamed it to) icon is on the desktop, right?
So if you open this, you see a Library folder, it is also referred to as /Library
(with the "/" indicating root level, i.e. Macintosh HD)
If you go to your Home folder, it has a Library folder too. It is referred to as ~/Library. (With the "~/" indicating user level)
Now, these steps (taken from KB 25398, section B3), summarize this well:
1. Go to ~/Library
2. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
3. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
4. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash.
5. If issue persists, go to /Library.
6. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
7. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
8. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash
Hope this helps,
