"Waiting for items to copy" - Takin forever

[adil2009]

So basically i have this problem i try syncing my iPhone 4 (5.1.1) with iTunes, after all items are sent, it says waiting for items to copy and it gets stuck on there forever. I can see the music on my iPhone but dont want to have keep pressing cancel sync everytime i want to remove the iPhone. Also pressing Cancel Sync also freezes and i have to close iTunes and start it up again without the iPhone attached in case i want to browse iTunes Store.

Anyone know how to fix this problem.

Thanks in advance!

Just a guess but is there a "bad" file it's trying to copy and it's waiting for that one file to be completed? I had a corrupt ipa once and I had to delete it and re download then the sync worked fine.

used to happen to me a lot

its trying to transfer files from phone to computer, usually happens to big ipa files

what i did was download from installous etc and copy the downloaded ipa into itunes and try again. try and look to see the last file it tried to copy.

I had this problem yesterday but mine was more to with apps and games try doing this.....

- open itunes on your device and go to downloads see if anything is stuck swipe it and delete.

- if not what worked for me yesterday was deleting this folder var/mobile/media/downloads
