How to fix iPhone, iPod and iPad can’t Sync with iTunes 10

There are more and more issues after upgrading to iTunes 10, the ugly icon, “traffic light” window control buttons, the gray sidebar and iOS devices cannot be sync with iTunes 10.

Fortunately, you can now fix iPhone, iPod and iPad won’t sync with iTunes 10 by the following tips:

1. Reinstall iTunes 10
In some cases this issue can be resolved by completely removing then reinstalling iTunes 10 as described in this Apple Knowledge Base article.

2. Remove iTunes 10 third-party backup or antivirus software
If you’ve installed software for an external hard drive or another device, it may include an automatic backup utility that recognizes the iOS device as a storage device, interfering with the normal sync process. Try uninstalling any such software then re-syncing.

3. Disable network connection
In some cases, simply disabling your network connection (turning off AirPort or unplugging your Ethernet cable) will resolve the slow or stuck backup phase. It appears that iTunes performs some data network data transfer during the backup process which can, for unknown reasons, take an extremely long time or become stalled.

4. Restore instead of update
Backup your iPhone or iPod touch 4, then perform a restore process instead of using the check for update function. This may allow the iPhone or iPod touch 4 to successfully receive the iOS 4.0 update, after which sync processes should occur at normal speed.

5. Switch USB ports
Try switching your iPhone or iPod touch 4 to a different USB port. In particular, if you are using a hub or other intermediary device, try connecting the device directly to your computer.

6. Delete iTunes 10 .plist
If you are using Mac OS X, delete the following file:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist then restart your iTunes 10.
