iPone 14 syncing with iTunes stops as step 5 of 5 and will not complete

I am using Windows 10 Pro syncing via a usb cable to a PC on my iPhone 14.

It previously worked ok with my iPone 11 before i recently updated it.

I am not sure what is stoping it as when the process gets to step 5 it sits there saying "Preparing to copy items"

Anyone got some sugestions?

Windows, Windows 6

Hi JackMenz,


If you are having trouble syncing from your PC to your iPhone, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:


1. Update

2. Restart both devices and try again

3. Check for third-party software that may be interfering - Resolve issues between iCloud for Windows or iTunes and third-party security software

4. Manually sync each data category one at a time to see if there is a particular category that is getting stuck - Sync iTunes content on PC with your devices.


Take care.
