Why does iTunes and my whole computer freeze when syncing songs to phone?

Im trying to sync my iPhone 3gs with iTunes but my laptop keeps freezing after 14 songs why is this? I have recently upgraded to ios5 so im guessing its because of this..how do i solve my problem?

Do you have all the latest software updates? This seemed to be a problem with earlier versions but everything seems to be running okay with iTunes 7.7.1 and iPhone 2.0.2 (which came out yesterday)

  • When I change size of icons or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer?

    When I change size of icons, or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer? In some folders I want to see a list and others I want to see an icon and I don't need a large icon in all folders. I used to be able to set each folder separately in the old OS. How do I fix this?

    I can hilight an item, go to the finder/file/getinfo but there is no box next to icon view.
    I can go to view/options and adjust the icon size etc, but this applies to every folder in the whole computer. I need varied options in different folders, i.e., I want to view images as icons and text as text. I have to change it every time I open a folder. I used to be able to set it per folder in the old OS.

  • Why does itunes and other media continue to play when i close the lid on my macbook pro 2011???

    Hey, I am new to mac and still getting used to it (making the transition from windows), its amazing! Anyhow, I cannot figure out why my itunes and other media like youtube or a film on vlc player continues to play once the lid has been closed. I thought that when i close the lid the macbook should then sleep. It does everytime when there is nothing playing. The little white light on the bottom right hand corner of the book is on but music continues to play.
    The sleep option always works. If I press the power button and choose the option sleep it does so etcc.
    Is this normal and am I just being stupid or is there a problem??
    I bought the laptop from ebay, its a macbook pro late 2011 17inch. I dont have apple support and might have to make a trip into London to the mac store however I was hoping someone can help me...    
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Thanks if you can it is muc appreciated....!!

    hey, thanks for the reply. I don't know to be perfectly honest. When I close the lid without any music playing it sleeps fine. How could I check?
    So basically I pressed the power button and pressed sleep. The laptop turned off and the little white light turned on no problem. I did the same thing with closing the lid and it went to sleep no problem. (Can you confirm that when the little white light is on it means the laptop is sleeping)??.
    I then had itunes playing and pressed the power button and when i pressed sleep the music paused then 6 seconds later it went to sleep. I then had itunes playing and closed the lid and the music kept on playing even though the white light was on.

    Hi
    I had a iPhone 4 and then got a new computer, I installed iTunes to it but my new computer refused to sync with my phone, i backed up my phone via icloud and purchased tracks etc from iTunes, but now i have a new iPhone 5C and I backed it up via the icloud, not all data was transfered, music etc.
    Again my computer will not sync with the new phone, it doesnt see the phone within my libary, doesn't give an option to do any thing with phone
    Can so one please let me know were Kim going wrong, I have authorized my computer to itunes I really don't know what to do now?

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
    To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

  • Why does iTunes 11.1.1 keeps resyncing all my songs?

    This problem really startet with iTunes 11.1 some days ago, before 11.1.1 came out, but it seems to be a bug that keeps my iPhone 5 from finalizing the sync with iTunes. I have restored too, but the same thing keeps happening:
    1. The phone syncs, but cannot finish step 7 and I have to manually stop the process.
    2. The next time I connect to iTunes, it starts syncing 1400 songs back from the beginning, even though they are on the phone already.
    And iTunes steals A LOT of CPU when syncing, I have to say.
    PS! I have an iPhone 5 64 GB with iOS 7.0.3 and an iMac 21.5 (Mid 2010) with Mavericks 10.9 (this discussion will not let me edit the product I use, somehow)

    Thanks, Lost in Asia.  I'm hoping Apple releases an update that makes this behavior go away.  I felt like punching at walls, it's going to be tedious refetching those gigs of reference podcasts.
    Anyway, have just now enabled backups on my iTunes folder as well.  Time to get a terabyte drive, I guess.

  • When I connect my iPhone it says "unable to load data class information from Sync services. Reconnect or try again later." And then proceeds to try to sync my phone and my whole computer freezes. My phone and itunes are both up to date.

    I even followed the instructions on Apple support page to get rid of the "unable to load data class Info." But it is still popping up and freezing. I even restored my phone and completely uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and it is still giving me the same notification and freezing. PLEASE HELP.

    Doublechecking something ... by any chance are you running any Eset security software on that PC (like Nod32)?

  • Why does iTunes and Safari reset data everytime its closed

    I have a power mac G5 and after I updated to the highest software update available, I find that iTunes and Safari reset their data everytime I close them. I have checked all settings and tried resetting to regular software and trying again. Any ideas?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Why does itunes and app store appear in french on my iphone?

    I recently updated the software on my iphone 4. Now the itunes and app store display in french only. I live in Quebec, but French is not my native language. Is there a way to switch it back to English?
    Thanks,

    Assume you have set up accounts as IMAP, so it is reflecting the state as it is on the server. You will need to access your mail via web and delete. Maybe the server did not sync with outlook exchange for deleted items.

  • Why does itunes crash every time my ipod is syncing?

    Help me please.
    I have tried many different things to prevent this from happening.  This includes holding down shift and ctrl while opening itunes, right clicking on itunes and clicking run as administrator, diagnostics tests, and more.  I try to sync my ipod and it freezes on step 1.  I have to right click itunes in the toolbar and click close to have it close the program.  Then it says it's not respoding. I also have tried disabling BITS and Bonjour services.  I do not want to uninstall itunes because i have too many things loaded onto it and i don't want to lose them.

    maybe:

    or
    iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    and

    Doing this:

  • Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

    Hi,
    a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
    I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
    I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
    Here's an example:
    I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
    I discovered something else though:
    When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
    Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
    Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone please answer my question?
