Iphone Sync stuck on "Copying diagnostic Information"

Is there any way to have iTunes NOT copy diagnostic information? I'm trying to sync my phone to add some new ringtones but the process sticks on the "Copying diagnostic information" part of the 4 step process.It should not take this long. Last time I synced my phone, it only took a few minutes. Now after 10 plus minutes it's still trying to sync the diagnostic information. PLEASE HELP!

iPhone 6, iOS 10.1, 32 gig

Thank you, Sumaran14. I also had the same issue, am running 10.2, already checked off "Don't Send," but still got stuck in this loop of "Copying diagnostic information." Clearly a bug.


For anyone else having the same issue, I switched to airplane mode during the long sync. It immediately ending the "Copying diagnostic..." loop and iTunes finished syncing within seconds. Thanks again.

For me the only option was to restore my iPad from backup. iTunes should have deleted the log files after syncing, but didn't. One of the iPhone cleaning apps (PhoneClean) said it deleted the log files but didn't. It was repeatedly trying to delete the same files.


So make an encrypted backup (so that you don't have to reenter all your passwords) and restore your device from that backup.
