Why does my iTunes freeze when it gets to the backing up part of the sync?

Every time I try and sync my phone to iTunes it freezes shortly after starting the backing up process. Any ideas? I've restarted my phone and laptop several times and can't find anything to work.

Are you running iTunes 10.5.3?

Why does my iTunes freeze when syncing?

Every single time I try to sync my phone to my iTunes on my PC, it freezes the computer. This happens on my phone, another iPhone in the house, my iPad, and a iPod. Any tips? Please help! One of my iPhones has NO music, and mine is only the purchased.

Why does my iTunes freeze up?

Why does my iTunes freeze up every time it is opened. It only operates for about 10 -15 seconds and then freezes. I've tried installing it again several times, but with no different results. Can anyone give me something to try? Have I downloaded some program that I shouldn't have? Thank you for any suggestions that you can give me.

Why does facetime hang up when I get another call on call waiting?!?!?

I love facetime, buy my one complaint is, when I get another call if I am in the middle of a facetime chat, it hangs up the facetime call completely. Just to ask if I want to accept or decline the new call. That's one bug that needs to be addressed.

no, if another call comes in, it will completely hang up the facetime call, and bring you to the incoming call screen and you can accept or decline. Even if you decline it does not resume the old call. You have to call the person back.

My Itunes freezes when I plug in my ipod and wont verify or sync

My Itunes freezes every time I try to plug in my ipod classic. It wont verify my ipod so it can't sync or update it. I have to shut down and restart my computer to get it to function at all. I have had my ipod for awhile and have had no problems with it and my Iphone connects and syncs just fine. My Itunes is up dated with the latest version and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have reset my ipod multiple times. I can't even restore my ipod because it freezes so fast I cant get the restore started. Someone PLEASE HELP!!

If iTunes Freezes when you try to Burn a CD, here's the FIX

I have read many posts about iTunes freezing when you try to burn a cd. This worked for me and it should work for you. It's a quite simple fix, but here goes:
If iTunes freezes when you:
1) Click on the Burning tab in your Preferances
OR
2) When you click on the Burn CD button
Steps To Recovery:
1) Completely Uninstall iTunes
2) Reinstall iTunes
3) If it still freezes either repair iTunes (using the file you used to install iTunes) or follow steps 1 and 2 again.
I hope this helps,

Why does my iTunes freeze after periods of time

So i have a MAC Mini with an external hard drive. For some reason after about 15 mins. the itunes will freeze up and i have to remove the external hardrive and plug it back in and then everything works fine. But this is a pain in the butt, because i recently got apple tv and i like streaming stuff off my itunes to my tv. But i have to keep getting up and unplugging the external hard drive and pluggin it back in so my itunes will work properly on the mac mini. This is quite frustrating. Does anybody have an idea or Clue as to why this is happening?
Not sure if this is related to it, but i have "time machine" for my external hardrive and that seems to fail backing up sometimes as well. but when i un plug it and plug it back in the back up works flawlessley. Could this all possibly be related to the external hard drive.
Thank you for any and all feed back
also im tired of having to force quit itunes when all this is happening.

Why does my iPod freeze when I plug it in?

Everytime I plug my iPod classic into my computer, it freezes. It turns on, so it knows something has happened, but it freezes and doesn't get recognised by the computer, and the charging symbol doesn't appear on the battery. Then I unplug it, reset it, and plug it back in, and the computer reads it. This happens every single time I plug it in. Does anyone know how to fix it?

The cause of all this problem, is the iTunes having timeouts accessing the iPod, so to prevent it happening I would suggest the following, when you want to plug in the iPod.
Disconnect all other USB devices, except keyboard and mouse
Use the USB2.0 port (at the back of the desktop, if you are not using a notebook)
Do not use any USB Hub.
Antivirus or other plugins conflict with iTunes - Stop the Antivirus and plugins,
Disconnect from Internet, as malware and other broswer plugins interferes with the Sync.
But do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but let you know if your Hardisk need replacing.
Have a nice day!

Why does my itunes crash when trying to burn a CD

Okay, some background info. For almost two years, anytime I'd put a CD into the computer, it would be these loud noises that sounded as if they were damaging the disc and/or it wouldn't eject the disc. After spending literally a day trying to eject this one CD, which I finally did after a day of continuously pressing "eject," the CD ejected and I decided to take my computer to the Apple store to get it fixed.
To make a long story short(er), I paid to have the optical drive replaced, and when I took my computer home, the new problem became that instead of reading the CDs (or DVDs), it would just automatically eject the discs. I took my computer back and they replaced the optical drive again with a new one. After I took the computer home, it quietly read two CDs and then starting with the third one, it started automatically ejecting the CDs again as before. I got so frustrated that I put my finger over the slot to prevent the disc from coming out. After attempting to eject the disc for a couple of minutes, the computer stopped trying to eject the CD and read it. And it ejected the disc with no problem. Since then, the computer has had no trouble reading and ejecting the numerous (15+) CDs. It does, however, now make a lot of noise when reading the CD.
Today I tried burning a playlist for the first time. When the blank disc was put in, it was loud but accepted it with no problem. But when I tried to burn the playlist from itunes, itunes would automatically crash. I've tried other blank discs and it does the same thing. It even crashes when I press burn disc even without a disc. Just to make sure the blank CD could burn something, I double-clicked the CD icon and burned some mp3s manually and that worked. So the optical drive is able to burn information on blank CDs. However, when I try through itunes, itunes crashes.
So do you guys think this is an itunes issue, or is it related to the replaced optical drive? I'm leaning towards the latter.

Somebody PLEASE help me.... I keep getting the "itunes has stopped working" error when I import cd's and that it's checking windows for help. That's it! It doesn't tell me how to fix it. Apple stores or the phone support has been ZERO help. I just need to reinstall all these cds that were lost when I plugged in my new ipod to my new computer!!!

ITunes freezing when clicking "Get Info"

My iTunes keeps freezing when I click on "Get Info", and it takes several minutes to open. Sometimes, it won't open at all, and I have to end the task in Task Manager.
I have Win7 and almost 200gb free. I noticed this about three weeks ago and have already upgraded to the latest version. Any ideas?

Tried reinstalling, and I'm still having the same problem. It takes about a minute for the window to open after selecting "Get Info."

Why does Firefox 7 freeze when I paste a filename when printing to a file using Microsoft XPS Document Writer?

This is more of a bug, and it doesn't seem to happen all the time.
I like printing web pages to Microsoft XPS Document Writer (.xps) format. FF7 seems to freeze often when I paste a filename (usually from copying something, like the title, from the web page itself) after trying to print to a file using Microsoft XPS Document Writer. I think it may be that I wind up copying some special formatting (or maybe a line break) and that causes FF to freeze (I then have to force-close it using Task Manager). Just a bug that I hope the developers will note and fix.
Another question, not quite related to the above, but is there a way to save an html web page to save only the text stuff? When I save to Text File in Firefox, I usually wind up with all the html crap in it too, when I just wanted the text content portion. TIA.

Can you undo the system restore?
Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
*You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files pr profiles.ini can be affected.
*You may need to (re)install software that was affected.
In case you need to reinstall Firefox then you need to delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling to make sure that all files get replaced.
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Why does my computer freeze when updateing if i have enough disk space and no disk repairs are needed?

I have problems updating my softwarebecause my computer freezes when it restarts to install. I have enough disk space and I checked for disk repairs and everthing is ok. Still can't update and not my cumputer is taking longer to turn on. There is an earth blinking then i get the apple logo blinking before it turns on and this takes close to 5 minutes.

When you say, "disk repairs" are you referiring to permissions or verifying the disk because clearly there's a problem.
Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utilty to "verify" and if necessary repair the startup disk. (Not Verify Disk Permissions).
