iTunes 11.1.2.31 Won't Finish Sync with iPad 3

Same problem for iPhone 4S

I am also having the same issue with my 5s. Also another issue if it wont let you add more than 6 items in Itunes to a folder of apps.

It is also quite laggy and slow to respond

Same issue ... iPad will NOT finish syncing ...

So I was having this issue with my iPhone 4s. I just updated both iTunes & my iPhone to the new updates released within the last 24 hours. My iPhone wouldn't finish syncing... even after 10 minutes it was still "finishing sync." This occurred when my phone was plugged into my laptop through the cable. I then tried to sync using the "sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" option, without it being plugged in. It worked. I'm not sure why, but it worked. I hope this may help some of you guys...

having terrible issues with iTunes 11.1.2.31 on Windows 8 and my 1 day old iPhone 5S.. terrible freezing, unfinished syncs.. terribly frustrating!

So i just let iTunes run while I watched an episode of Sons of Anarchy.. what I thought was iTunes freezing was just iTunes taking extremely long.. for a 1day old iPhone 5S w/only a handful of apps and contacts to sync, no music, movies, podcasts, or photos, should normally take about 1-2mins. to sync.. except with just updated iTunes 11.1.2.31 this 1-2mins. process is taking 30+mins.. this is just flippin ridiculous!!!... smh~

Same thing has been happening to me after updating both iTunes and my iPhone today... keeps getting stuck at "Finishing Sync." I managed to fix it though... when it's stuck on "Finishing Sync", find your device in iTunes (if you have the preview pane open on the left side, you'll see it under 'devices'). Then click the 'Sync" button on the bottom right. It'll do a sync to your device again, but it won't hang on the last step anymore (at least it didn't for me). I hope that helps anyone else with the same problem!

gearmaster's solution worked for me! Thank you.

Worked finally on my ipad but won't work on my iphone 5. Apple definately has a problem and hopefully they will see this issue.

I should have been more clear in my response above. It was iPhone 5 that gearmaster's solution worked on for me. I'm still running ios 6. I haven't updated to ios 7.

For me my fix worked with my iPhone 4S which has the lasted updated ios7 (7.0.3) with the latest iTunes.

Unfortunately it didn't work for my iPhone 4S... Running IOS 7.0.3

I'm having this issue on the following computers and devices:

• 2011 15" MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with these devices: an iPad 2 running 7.0.3 and a 4G iPod Touch running 6.1.3.
• 2010 13" MacBook Pro running Lion with a 3G iPod Touch running 5.1.1.

The problem started when I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2. So, at least for me the culprit seems to be iTunes.

Thanks! That fixed it.
