While trying to sync my iPhone to iTunes, I'm stuck at Step 3 of 4 "Determining what apps to sync"

While trying to sync iPhone to iTunes, iTunes is stuck on step 3 of 4 "Determining what apps to sync".  What should I do?

Give it a lot of time.  If it just doesn't move on, then click the small disconnect icon in the left panel of itunes and reconnect and try again.

  • I am getting an error message that my network connection has timed out. while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone found a solution? I was given some advice about turning off my firewall and/or virus protection but am nervous about doing that.

    I get a message that my network connection has timed out while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone else had that problem and if so what solutions have you found? I was told to turn off my firewall and/or virus protection while updating but am nervous about doing that for obvious reasons. I'm also disgusted with Apple not providing free tech support.

  • HT201210 While trying to update my iphone and itunes, I have messag 1611 and my phone is frozen on a pic of a usb cord w/ an arrow to itunes..  I have removed firewalls and security programs as suggested..still not restored!!

    I was on the phone with an apple tech for two hours, we managed to update itune program on computer, but by that time the phone was dead and would not show up as a divice.  She told me to let the phone charge, then plug it in and it might recognise my phone, which it did.  I followed the directions and now my iphone is a nice paperweight.  She also told me she would email a case number and some articles which would guide me through the process if it did not work.  I did not receive them!!  My iphone cannot be restored (error 1611).  I have removed all security ware as it suggested.  I even took down the windows firewall... I have tried everything  (except of course I cannot try what they suggest I adjust on my phone because it is frozed FOREVER!!!  Please help me!!

    Put the device in DFU mode (Google it) and restore.

  • ITunes crashes while trying to sync videos during optimizing

    Hello, Folks,
    iTunes crashes while trying to sync during the optimizing phase if there are any videos in the folder.
    If I remove the videos from the folder, the sync succeeds.
    The videos were imported from the iPhone using the Windows 7 import dialog.

  • Would a backup occur if I was downloading pictures to Picassa 3. Did a real backup take place w/I-Tunes ? I don't remember if I saw that. Three days later while trying to sync I had a msg "iTnes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.

    Would a backup occur if I was downloading pictures to Picassa 3 ??? Did a real backup take place w/I-Tunes, at that same time ???   I don't remember if I saw that on the screen.  Three days later while trying to sync my iPHone,  I had a msg "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Concern:  Will I lose all my media and other data ?  Just hate to push the RESTORE & UPDATE button, only to find out I have LOST all that stuff.  My son says it should be backed up when I did the 4.3.2 of iPhone. Concerned a ton over this problem. 
    Thanks to anyone out there who might be able to help.  Would appreciate any ideas.
      PLS HELP

    Syncing photos does NOT sync the phone; the camera is considered a separate device from the rest of the iPhone. You sync with iTunes, and should do it often enough so you don't cry if you lose all data on the phone.
    At this point you have no choice; there is no way to NOT restore it. If the last backup is not corrupt it should restore the phone as of the time of the last backup.

    you can check your saved backups in iTunes/settings/devices
    then choose restore ipod and select your old backup to restore from.

    Thanks for any help on this aggravating problem

    And also it was working just the other day but once the firmware was upgraded to iPhone OS 3.1.3 it started this
    And it was also doing the same thing on windows XP, which made me install vista but it's still not working. I installed the most recent itunes also and now it crashes as soon as it starts.

  • Error occured while trying to restore this iphone (-50)

    I was trying to update my iphone 3G software to 4.2.1 (I was running 3. something before then) and I got a message that said "an error occured while trying to restore this iphone (-50)," and my phone has been wiped clean. This happened after updating my itunes to the latest update.  In itunes, I now have two options, Set up as a new iphone, or restore from "unkown." Not cool! Any suggestions?

    This did not solve the issue for me. I am trying to update to 4.0.1
    My hosts file says

    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    # space.
    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

    # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
    # 127.0.0.1 localhost
    # ::1 localhost
    I also tried it with the second to last line completely removed, so it was
    # 127.0.0.1 localhost
    # ::1 localhost
    Any other thoughts?

  • I upgraded to itunes 10.7. Now when I try to sync my new iphone 5 it gets stuck in step 6 of 8 determining tracks to sync

    I upgraded to itunes 10.7 and now when I try to sync my iphone 5 it gets stuck in step 6 of 8 determining tracks. I reload 10.7 and rebooted everything. What do i do?

    Had the same thing happen to me when I tried syncing my iPhone this a.m. - talked to Apple 7 hours ago and evidently there's an "issue" with the iTunes server. The Apple adviser told me to try syncing in an hour. Well, rather than do that, I've continued to check Twitter, searching on "itunes sync" or "itunes server" - seems the problem's still going on.
    I'm going to wait it out til tomorrow. Or whenever.
    The REASON I was synching is that ever since the iOS 5 "upgrade" photos that were in albums synced from iPhoto had disappeared. Not all the photos, just all the photos in some albums. Weird.
    Too many bugs in iOS 5 (syncing, Bluetooth connectivity, etc.). They should have waited til it was right before releasing it.
