iTunes Syncing help

[lRhyss]

Okay, so Up until yesterday I had an iPhone 4s and whenever I'd sync with iTunes for my music, it would start, then get through copying half of the songs and just freeze, the phone would then act as if I'd pulled the cable out then put it right back in again, making the "ding" noise twice, then it would say "Sync Failed" I thought this was just a problem with the phone.

I've just got a 5s and It's doing the exact same thing, it sync's everything else, backs up etc. but ***** up when I sync my music ;/

I've tried:

Multiple USB ports on my PC, front and back
Restarting iTunes
Restarting PC
Restarting phone
Holding the cable still
Re-installing iTunes and copying all my music back in


None of the above have worked :/

Any ideas?

+rep for help :]

I grudge using iTunes altogether, hate the programme! I seem to be having difficulty syncing my phone (iPhone 5) also but just synced over wifi instead, maybe try that?

I've Managed to get it working by selecting manually select music to sync and ticking all the artists, It's stupid but it worked :P

And WIFI also worked, although took a while >.>

the sync speed would be to do with the processor

Well not really, it'd be to do with the read / write speed of both the CD Drive and the USB port :P

If it is just crashing and freezing, an update of iTunes should fix it. If not, contact Apple as their online customer support is pretty good

Surely the SB port has nothing to do with the speed of syncing over wifi? :P

And yeah, me and Apple customer support just don't work, I've sorted it now though, so Thanks :)

Oh sorry, well no then but it hasn't got anything to do with your internet speed because it's not going over the internet? Glad you sorted it anyway

Haha I know, I know :P Looked like a bit of a fool there :/

Yeah sorted it now, but for anyone having this problem:

Manually select the Songs/Artists/Albums and it will sync fine :)
