Win7 freezes when sync ipad2

My win7 computer freezes when y sync my iPad2 with itunes.

I have the same problem. I cannot sync or apply any settings to my iPhone in iTunes after upgrading to iTunes 11. It just freezes/hangs. I also found that since the upgrade to iOS 6 that the sync is problematic.
The only fix I have seen on-line is to completly wipe the iPhone and do a restore. That is insane.

ITunes 11 (Win7) freezes when syncing iPhone 4S / Ipad2

After installing iTunes 11 I can no longer sync my iPhone 4S or iPad 2 via either wifi or with the sync cable. Syncing was balky after the iOS6 rollout under the last version of iTunes 10, and it never worked over wifi (again, only after upgrading to iOS6), but at least I could get a cable sync to work about 60% of the time. I was hoping and praying that this issue would be fixed with the new iTunes, but sadly the situation has gone from bad to catastrophic. iTunes still fails to recognize or sync my devices over wifi, and now when I try doing a cable sync it appears that iTunes will recognize the device and attempt to start a sync, but I've never made it past step 2 before iTunes completely hangs, at which point I can only force it to shut down through the task manager. Of course it doesn't help that iTunes 11 is woefully sluggish on my two-year-old quad-core computer with 6GB RAM. That's even after restarting the system and launching iTunes with no other programs running. APPLE: you seem to be in a very self-destructive mode these days. But I digress...
If anybody has an idea of how I can make my iPad and iPhone sync again I will be very appreciative.

IPod classic freezes when syncing with iTunes

This is a complicated story involving my two brothers, a traded ipod, and sadness - here goes...
Brother "A" had an iPod, which was traded to brother "B". Brother "A" was on windows, brother "B" was on a mac. The ipod would not sync with the mac, even after being reformatted and restored with latest software of both itunes and ipod. When syncing it gets to song 25 and stops. Every time, no matter the song.
Here is what I have tried:
• All software updated
• Ipod was reformatted and restored
• iTunes library was rebuilt - all unauthorized songs and duplicates removed (my brothers library was a mess)
After all this it still freezes when it is copying song 25. The ipod was working fine (so brother "A" claims) when syncing with the windows machine. Any suggestions?

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!!!

My itunes freezes when syncing apple tv

I upgraded to the new version of itunes and my apple tv did it's software upgrade too
But now i can't sync my apple tv with my itunes it just freezes, i've done factory restore on the apple tv and it just won't do anything!

I was able to get my iPad synced just now by going into the control panel and accessing "Services". This is located in the "Administrative Tools".
There you will find a service called "Apple Mobile Device". Select that service and you should see options on the left side of the window to stop or restart the service. I stopped it, started it again, and I was able to sync my iPad, finally.
I saw the instructions for this on another thread. I tried to find it again to post a link for you, but no luck.
In the meantime I also set up the iPad backup to go to the cloud rather than my PC. This also seemed to be less taxing on the system when syncing. I don't know which action enabled me to sync (for now), but something worked.
It's somewhat infuriating. Let me know if you find out anything else. I need documents on my iPad for work, and if I can't load them on there it has become a very expensive and heavy paperweight.
Cheers!

Itunes 11.1.4 freezes when syncing with iphone

Itunes 11.1.4 Periodically freezes when not syncing. always freezes when starting to sync Iphone or ipad. sometimes gets far enough to see Message: "ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later" Trying again later does not help. This did not happen with previous version of Itunes (for years)

Hello Zach,
It sounds like you are getting this error message when connecting your phone after a recent update. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get a resolution:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with the first steps to test iTunes in Safe Mode, and if needed, there is additional troubleshooting therein.
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

ITunes 7.0.1 freezes when syncing to iPod - any thoughts?

I have a click-wheel iPod that's always synced fine with iTunes on my laptop. Upgraded to iTunes 7 to work with my girlfriends new 2nd gen Nano. Her iPod syned fine - no problems. When I connect my iPod it seems okay - and transfering Podcasts to it worked fine, but it deleted all my music from the iPod and now iTunes freezes when I try to sync the music back to it.
Any thoughts???
Thanks

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?

IPod (and iTunes) freezes when syncing large playlists

My ipod freezes when updating a large playlist or a lot of new songs. This usually requires me to physically disconnect the dock connector and reconnect the ipod.
If i try to sync the same files using a smaller playlist the ipod is usually able to update.
Anyone else experience this problem and/or have a fix for it?
I've tried resetting/updating software on my ipod with no luck.

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 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 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.
