I take it that you don't have a memory card reader connected, but maybe something else?<BR/>I had a similar problem later (http://www.nydiscovery.com/solutions/2008/10/when-the-ipod-hangs-during-syncing.html) when I had to reset the system controller - instructions are on the Apple support site.<BR/>A good way to look into this issues is to check the Console application which shows the System logs. Usually you won't understand what is in there, but it gives often a hit what to look for.<BR/>Hope this helps a little.Oliverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17769113618911514702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238721927711520119.post-61472366650712298572009-03-28T16:09:00.000-04:002009-03-28T16:09:00.000-04:00I have had the problem where iTunes just keeps hanging (about 4/5ths of the way through) EVERY time I try to sync my iPhone! I have even gotten a new phone and this one does it also. I read your post and it "sounds" like it would be helpful but I am far from computer savvy enough to understand that. I have never bought any sort of card reader for my MacBook. Is is something I may find installed on my computer? I searched for "SanDisk" and "ImageMate" but nothing was found. Would you happen to have that same help in layman's terms? :) NOTHING has helped so far and I have pretty much given up on help from Mac.

I thought this problem has something to do with the specific card reader, but it rather seems to be a Mac OS issue then... Upgrading to 10.5.3 didn't help, btw.Oliverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17769113618911514702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238721927711520119.post-24454767204113856862008-06-13T16:16:00.000-04:002008-06-13T16:16:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for posting this! My iPhone wasn't doing a complete sync, even after trying everything you did. I, too, had a USB card reader plugged-in. Unplugging the reader from my computer seems to have fixed the problem. I guess that's what I get for buying a $7 card reader :)Joe Hohmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08309427031807660542noreply@blogger.com
