My process that finally fixed iTunes freezing with iPhone Syncing
A couple days ago a made a post about how my installation of iTunes 9 had frozen every time I tried to sync my iPhone..
I finally decided that I would downgrade iTunes to iTunes 8.2.1 thinking iTunes 9 was the problem. Well it turns out that after I downgraded I was still having the freezing problems, it took me a good 30 minutes for me to get my iPhone to plug in without iTunes freezing on me. I could NOT get iTunes to sync my info to my iPhone so I went the day without having my contacts, email, music, calendar or any of the stuff I normally have. I did jailbreak my phone but even that turned out to be a disaster for some reason installing Winterboard and Mobile Substrate decided to break my firmware so I had to restore again and that was hard because of iTunes still freezing.
Finally I read somewhere that deleting your iPhone's/iPod's backups might make it unfreeze. It did! I deleted my iPhone's backups and my friends iPod Touch backups and closed iTunes and re opened it and my iphone synced without a problem!
So if you are having problems with iTunes freezing on you then you can try deleting the backups you have for your iPhone and/or iPod, and yes I know that kind of sucks to delete those (I never restore from backup I always start fresh) but it might help iTunes stop freezing.
If that doesnt work you can try doing that and/or downgrading your installation of iTunes 9 to iTunes 8.2.1.
Here are the download links for iTunes 8.2.1
Windows
Windows 64 Bit
Mac - Says G3 but it should work on all Macs
To downgrade you must backup your iTunes Library
On Mac it will be in your Music/iTunes and the file will be called iTunes Library (data file)
On Windows it will also be Music/iTunes and the file we ill be called iTunes Library.itl
and there should also be a folder called Previous iTunes Libraries, this folder contains your older libraries from older installations. You can use the latest one (created when you installed iTunes 9) to replace the iTunes 9 one.
Now you must uninstall iTunes - Drag iTunes.app from the Applications folder on Mac to the trash or use the programs uninstaller in the control panel of Windows
Now you can install iTunes 8.2.1.
Combining those 2 options successfully fixed the freezing issues on my iTunes installation! I hope that helps anyone with this problem!

Why Linux Is Better........ ???
Ok I am not saying GNU/Linux is better then Windows or even Mac OS X, I have used all three operating systems (Windows XP, Vista, 7, Mac 9, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Ubuntu Linux). Even though "Linux" is just a Kernel I am referring to it as an OS for simplicities sake.
Here is a fun site I ran across giving reasons to give Linux a try! (Since it is FREE and most come with live CD's so you dont have to change anything on your comp!) He makes some good points.
check out the website Why Linux Is Better
I run Ubuntu and Windows 7 in a dual boot. I have also run Mac OS X and Windows in a dual boot as well. I personally find different things that I like about each OS and if I could have all of them on my Laptop I definitely would (OSx86 - Hackintosh - Doesnt have drivers for my Wireless, Sound, and iffy on the Graphics part too).
So instead of a Tri Boot I have Linux and Windows and Mac running in a VMWare Workstation Virtual Machine.
Anyways give that site a look! You might find something you like ;)

Tired of Windows Vista: Going to Windows 7 RC
Until Windows 7 officially is released on October 22nd 2009 I am going to upgrade Windows Vista 64Bit on my Laptop to Windows 7 RC 64Bit. I thought why not? Its an upgrade, I wont loose my files, I have used Windows 7 Beta on my Desktop and its fantastic, its only 2 months until Windows 7 comes out. Why not?
I am about to upgrade right now! After I post this and uninstall a couple things that arent Windows 7 compatible I will upgrade!
I am excited because I have only used the Windows 7 Beta and I havent even used my Desktop in quite some time. I hope RC is better (I have heard it definitely is of course).
Wish me luck!
