WMP 10 freezes when syncing my Zen Touch v.2.11

After updating my Zen Touch 20 GB to v.2..0 with the PlayForSure firmware, I have issues when trying to sync my library from WMP 0. It works fine for a few songs until WMP climbs to 99% of my CPU usage and then freezes (not responding). This only happens for me on my desktop PC, not my laptop, so I do not think it is the player. My WMP has all the updates available from MS.
If anyone has had this issue or knows how it may be resolve, I would like to know how -- WMP works great for everything else, and I use it to sync on my laptop often.

Install the latest version of MediaSource from the website. Also, be sure to install the Creative Software Suite for PlaysForSure-enabled Creative Zen Touch Players (43.44 MB) to enable MediaSource to detect the player. Nomad Explorer doesn't support PlayForSure device.

When syncing my ipod touch, the Other category shows it's taking up a lot of space. What is in Other?

When syncing my iPod Touch, the "Other" category shows it's taking up a large amount of storage space on the device. What is in the "Other" category, and how do I control what goes into it?

Restore from a backup will get you some 'other' back.
Still not happy, Restore in iTunes, Setup as new. Sync back personal data using iTunes Tabs

Zen Micro freezed when syncing, now freezes when trying to reload or upgrade firmw

Got a Zen Micro, firmware 2..02
I started having problems syncing with my home PC, which uses XP SP2 with Windows Media Player . Trying to sync resulted in a freezed WMP an, after a while returned an error saying it couldn't communicate with Zen Micro or just showed that all the files to be transfer had been stopped.
Tried to sync in my office, XP SP2 with with Windows Media Player 0. It worked a bit better: could transfer files, but the speed of the transfers was unusually slow for USB 2.0. It ended with the WMP freezed and, after a while, all the files I use for testing where in the player.
In both computers, when the WMP freezed, the signal in the player remained with the lines in black, as if it was still communicating. I had to disconnected the player, disregarding the signal, which remained even with the player disconnected from the PC. When powered up the startup process ended in the "Creative" screen staying on forever, I had to remove the battery, go to recovery mode, Reboot the player and, after a library rebuilding it worked.
Read some threads and thoght that reloading the firmware would help. But the sign "erasing firmware" doesn't dissapear in my player's screen. I gave up after 2 hours. At that point, my player starting showing a "firmware error" at startup and going to the recovery screen every time it is powered up.
Tried to upgrade firmware. It gave a "player not connected" error using my home PC (WMP ) but not in my office (WMP 0). I try to "re-upgrade" to 2..02 but it returned a "failed to upgrade firmware" error (after a few minutes with the window freezed) and the player remained in "communicating" status (black lines in the screen's icon). Try then to "downgrade" to last .xx firmware version available, but the operation hangs after the "format completed successfully" message, with only two bars in the progress indicator, and it stays like this for a very long time (tried for 30 minutes), still with the communication black-lines-in-icon status.
If I try to re-run the firmware upgrade inmediately, it says "your player is not connected, please reconnect your player", as it is still in "communicating" status. I have to take battery out and reinsert it to be able to restart the firmware proess.
Any suggestions? I'm really restricted to not to send the player to Creative Customer Service, as it has just finished it warranty period and I'm nowadays in Argentina, from where the post cost would be huge.

would be really appreciated.

ITunes freezes when syncing v.10.5.1.42

I am on Vista trying to sync my ipod touch & iphone fore the past 4 days & each time I connect them to the computer I get to step 2 of 8 Backing up and iTunes freezes. About 30+ minutes later I sometimes get this error message.
"iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services Reconnect or try again later."

Try resetting the sync history in your itunes preferences under the devices tab. Also, when uninstalling itunes you have to remove ALL components in the correct order.
check out http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to make sure its removing all components

Constant freezing when syncing itunes & ipod

i have been trying to sync my new touch ipod with my itunes ALL DAY and it just keeps freezing and i have to keep force quitting itunes & reconnecting my ipod. i am linking it directly into my laptop, not through a hub.
i have read through many posts on this forum and others which have variously suggested:
= reinstall itunes 7.5 (done that twice, no joy)
= restore ipod touch (done that, same-same -although i did read something that suggested changing timezone to Cupertino USA when doing this - which i haven't done?? anyone??)
= changed 'reset warnings' in right-menu for ipod within itunes - then quit itunes & rebooted ipod (but it happened again 10 minutes later)
= turn off airport (done that, harrumph)
= turn off all internet connections (yep, nothing)
= quit safari (hmmm)
= delete log crash reports (itunes just keeps creating new ones called 'HangReporter' so no difference there)
i am going insane here!! i get somewhere between 2 and 20 songs before it freezes and i have to force quit - i just can't figure it out - and i get different errors all the time. i have even changed around my USB port from 2 to 1 and vice-versa - no dice...
so what is it that is unstable and making ipod so rubbish? i had no problems with my trusty old ipod!
grrrrrrr!
please someone help me before i harm my computer or my ipod!!

well, i've worked it out (i think) - am i right?
my mac only has USB 1.1 and the ipod touch requires 2.0.
i am poor at the moment but someone gave me the ipod for my birthday & then the bose sound dock for christmas (which does not work with the original ipod, only the clickwheel and above are supported) - so i upgraded my poor little laptop to leopard to try and do it (and in the process lost 3 of my applications for which i no longer have the installation disks...system upgrades make fools of us all!)
so --- could this be why i am having such horrific problems with syncing?
i think i might buy a typewriter and a portable radio!!!

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,
Sterling

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 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.
