Trouble syncing Iphone & Ipad with Itunes?

I'm trying to sync new music in my itunes to my devices. Every time I plug either device into my laptop my Itunes either freezes or says it's "determining tracks to sync" for an infinite amount of time. How can I fix this or sync this new music without plugging the Ipad or Iphone to the computer?

Instead of syncing, use manual management. This is a legit setting in iTunes and it's superior to syncing in every way. I've used it on my 3 year old iPod Touch, as well as newer devices like iPod Touch 4, iPhone 5 & iPad 3.In all that time, I've never had any of the problems complained about by iPod owners who post questions here about their iPods. Syncing is clearly the inferior choice for a number of reasons - even if your problem has nothing to do with syncing.

If you're still having problems, then please repost this question and specify that you tried that.

Hope this helps.

  • Would syncing my iphone with Itunes unlock it? I stupidly forgot my password and have locked my iphone. I have tried my password a certain amount of times that it has now ask me to connect to itunes, which I have. If I sync them again, would it unlock the phone or do I have to restore it?

  • Syncing iPhone songs onto iTunes? Okay so what I want to do is make ringtones on my iPhone 4s. But in order to do that I have to sync my iPhone to iTunes. Which I haven't done yet with my phone. I have 60 songs that i bought on itunes store on my phone but I don't want to lose them. And i heard if I sync my phone to the computer that it will wipe everything out of it? So is there any way to sync the songs and all the apps and media from my phone onto itunes on my laptop?
