itunes not syncing since IOS 7

Since IOS 7 I cant sync my iPad 3 or iPhone 5

 

First it appeared to be just photos so i turned off syncing to a folder in the photo tab but it now get hung on Determining tracks to Sync step 5/6

 

The sync appears to go fine until it gets to step 5 as above and iTunes still appears to be accessing the drives for a while but the barber pole progress bar is static and eventually the external drive access light stops and ITunes just drops out of syncing no error messages no sync

 

ITunes does not sync anything, no my new audio books, no new apps etc if I look under the app tab iTunes thinks it has installed the new apps becuase they have remove by each new app name, but it has not as the apps are not on either device, same with audio etc.

 

My old Iphone 3g (IOS 4.2) still syncs ok so i can listen to my new adiobook on that, at present, but neither my iphone 5 or my ipad 3 will accept new items.

 

This happened since i installed IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 my mac is running Mac OS10.8.5 and unfortunately Apple Does not allow you to go back to an older IOS

 

i sync via USB to my devices as i alter alot of the details in my books etc like Book series, book number in series and narrator etc and it means i only need to download the books once and sync the ones i want to itunes.

 

I have done a warm reset (power button only) and cold reset (power and home button) on both devices but still the issue exists.

 

I hate IOS 7 its hard to read (yes i know about bold print) and this issue does not make me warm to it.

 

Also does any one know how to shut off auto play of podcasts in itunes 11.1  even the ones you have marked as manual download are auto uploaded and played.

 

Itunes Radio for those that are looking for it outside the US should stop looking as it is US only.

 

Any help on the syncing issue would be appreciated sending Apple emails appears to fall on deaf ears . . .

iPhone 5 Power Button flaky since upgrade to iOS 7

I never had any issues with the power/sleep button on my iPhone 5 in the past.  However, immediately after upgrading to iOS 7 I started having issues with the button not responding very well.  It can take numerous presses to get it to work, or sometimes it just works on the first try.  I have updated to the latest 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 but with no change in behavior.  I am fairly certain that there is some sort of issue or bug with iOS 7, and that it is not a hardware issue.

 

Has anyone else come across this problem, and if so, was there anything found that could possibly fix it (aside from restoring an old backup of the phone before it was upgraded to iOS7)?

Why is Home Sharing broken on all of my devices (MacMini, iPad 2, iPhone5, ATV2) since iOS6? None of them recognize any of the others when logged in, on the same, non-firewalled network and sitting right next to each other.

Signal strength worse since iOS 6.1.2.

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 6.1.2, my LTE signal strength on my iPhone 5 has depleted. Where I used to get 4 bars I now get 1-2. Sometimes places I used to have LTE are 3G for some reason. It only started when I got iOS 6.1.2. Is this a software bug that will hopefully get fixed soon?

 

I have Verizon in case that matters.

iPhone 5 - New battery issues since 6.1 update

Hello to who will listen,  I have had my iPhone 5 since it's release.  The battery life was never as good as my 4's but I understood this with the new LTE and larger screen it would be expected.  But - I just downloaded the 6.1 update and my battery life is now horrible!  I used to make it through the whole day on a charge but now it's done by 5:00 meaning it's absolutely dead.  I couldn't figure out what was going on until I remembered I did the update on Sunday.  I understand suggesting to shut things off (wifi, LTE, Bluetooth, killing running apps) but these were on before the update without causing me issues.  My wife's iphone 5 doesn't have the update applied and last night it still had a 50% charge left while mine was dead - we each used ours about the same amount of time even.  I believe that Apple needs to issue an update to the 5 owners as well,  This isn't a user issue but an OS issue and how it handles power usage...

iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.

Mike:

Just had the very same problem.  iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1).  I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere.  Didn't work.  What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes.  Once it restarted it was there and synching.  I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).

Try this.  May work for you as well.
