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.

Hello,

I have set my iPod back to default settings and then began putting all of my music back on once more and again, the sync has frozen at song 600.
Can anyone help?

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.

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.

ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Itunes freezes when syncing ipod classic 160GB

I just downloaded the new itunes 1.6.1 and everytime i try to sync my ipod classic it gets about a tenth of the way through syncing the songs then completely freezes, i have to exit using task manager and it leaves me with no songs on my ipod. I've tried resetting my ipod and such but none of it has worked, i've spent the last 3 hours looking for a solution but there is nothing out there, please help!!!

Try connecting the iPod Classic to a different USB port set (like the ones on the back of your PC), and make sure you're connecting it directly to the PC, not through a USB hub (like the ones built into keyboards or monitors). If iTunes still freezes, run Windows Update and make sure you update all of the hardware drivers for your PC, especially ones marked "Chipset" or "USB Controller". Frequently, when iTunes freezes mid-sync with a USB device, it's because of an error with your USB controller or that set of ports. The steps above should get you syncing properly again.
If that doesn't work, try connecting your iPod Classic to another PC and sync some songs to it. If iTunes freezes there as well, it may be a problem with your iPod Classic (unlikely, but possible), and would warrant a Genius Bar appointment.
Hope this helps.

ITunes freezes when syncing ipod 10.5.1.42

Everytime I go to sync my ipod to itunes it gets almost finished and itunes freezes up. When itunes freezes so does my entire computer to the point where only the mouse moves, and I end up shutting it down. I'm not sure if it is my computer, ipod, itunes, or other underlying issues. Does anyone have a solution or troubleshooting tips. I have searched the internet all over and this site, but nothing seems to be working. Is it the version? Should I install a previous version of itunes? It seems like some people are having similar issues.
Windows Vista 32 bit
itunes version 10.5.1.42
1st gen ipod touch

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Itunes freezes when syncing with ipod

My itunes is freezing when i try to sync with itunes. Manual management does not cause freezing, but automatic syncing causes it to freeze after five or fewer podcasts / songs are transferred. The ipod is brand new, and ready to use. I've tried all the normal steps, such as reinstalling software, ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response. I have installed, reinstalled the latest itunes, ran the diagnostics, looked through troubleshooting guides and forums before posting on this forum. Aside from Itunes freezing up in automatic syncing, both itunes and ipod seems to run normally.
Could this be a problem with the library or some type of miscellaneous file? Any suggestions?

ITunes freezes when syncing podcasts to iPod shuffle

I have the square shuffle and every time I go onto iTunes and try syncing a new podcast to it the whole thing freezes. It does not freeze when I sync music, just when I click on the podcast tab at the top. Pretty weird but I can't seem to fix the problem. Please help, Im tired of listening to music while running!!!!!

Hi Alpo2788,
If you are having an issue with iTunes becoming unresponsive when attempting to sync content such as podcasts to your iPod shuffle, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

ITunes freezes when syncing iPad to a new comp

I recently bought a new computer to replace my old one, and now my iPad 2 won't sync. iTunes just freezes, even though I "authorized" the new computer (which has a different name than my old one). What measures can I take to sync my iPad to the new computer? This is driving me a bit crazy, so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. (In case it matters, I'm using the latest version of iTunes on Windows 8).

I've occasionally had my iTUnes freeze, both on my win 8 and my old vista computer. Every time you open iTunes, it reaches out to connect to the iTunes store. You may need to use the task mananger to shut it down or restart your computer if it's frozen at the moment. Then try opening iTunes, let it get up and going, then plug in your iPad. It's possible that it starting up, communicating iwth Apple and trying to communicate with your iPad all at the same time is too much for it and it freezes.
iTunes 11 can be very glitchy when it's in the mood to be. You almost have to baby it by letting it get going before you try to do something else.

Itunes freezes when syncing

When i put my ipod on to sync it starts backing up then stops. My ipod says 'sync in progress' but its not syncing properly. Then itunes freezes and wont even open again. please help!!!

If the sync process stops right at step one, iTunes can't read the latest backup in order to replace it with the new one.
You'll have to delete the latest backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices to make iTunes create a new backup instead of replacing an old one.

Itunes freezes when syncing 3rd gen shuffle

I have a 3rd generation shuffle. When I plug it into my mac, instead of syncing, I get the "wheel of death" & itunes freezes. The top status bar says - Syncing (Step 1 of 2) Generating VoiceOver messages. I can force quit itunes & eject the shuffle in Finder, but I can't access the device in itunes because the wheel of death won't let me click on it. This is my spouse's shuffle & hasn't been used for about a year, he doesn't know/remember if the VoiceOver is enabled or works or ever even existed on the shuffle. I'm more familiar with my nano ... What can I do??

never mind, problem solved
