Can't sync iPhone 5 or 5S with iTunes, Windows 8

Having no luck syncing either an iPhone 5 or 5S with iTunes. Connect a phone and iTunes hangs. Followed KnowledgeBase article HT1923 to completely remove iTunes and other components, Restarted machine then ran CCleaner to remove all traces from the registry, restarted again, downloaded and ran itunes64setup.exe.
During the install got this message:
DifXInst64.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click ok to close the application.
iTunes will start normally but when you connect either phone the "iPhone" tag will appear after a few minutes and that's it, nothing more. Can't access the phone through iTunes and can't access iTunes.
When I use the Task Manager to kill iTunes it indicates iTunes (32 bit) is not responding. Why 32 and not 64?
How can I resolve this?
Windows 8 64 bit
iTunes 11.3.1.2
iPhone 5 & 5S, both 7.1.2

Can't Sync ATV1 3.0.2 with iTunes 10.2.2 (Snow Leopard)

Can't Sync ATV1 3.0.2 with iTunes 10.2.2
I want to move all the content on our AppleTV back to the main system library attached to our iMac and after turning off streaming, I can't find any way to sync the Mac with the ATV.
The only way that I can find to make the ATV show up in iTunes' device list is to start them go to Settings > Computers > Add A Shared iTunes Library from the ATV menus, but that just put puts us back into streaming mode.
I can't find a way to get the ATV to show up in the iTunes device list and then set up syncing.
HELP!!!!!!!

Can't sync or back-up 3gs with itunes 10.5 w/out uninstalling and re-installing itunes

We had two 3gs iphones and had no issues with syncing phones but since upgrading to 10.5 and me getting the 4s, can't sync the 3gs without un-installing and re-installing itunes. As soon as I do that, then I can't sync the 4s and have to go through the process all over again otherwise I just get an error message. On a side note, haven't been able to download digital copies of movies to itunes since the upgrade.

i get a cant sync data error message try again later, it happens if i un-install itunes for the 3gs then it happens for the 4s and vice versa

I can't sync selected songs and playlists with itunes

On my laptop - I am unable to tick the "selected songs and playlists" to sync a cd i've imported. It only gives the option of replacing entire music library?

Is entire music library selected now in additon to Sync Music being selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences?
If you have manually manage music and videos currently selected under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and you want to switch to syncing, you must select Sync Music under the Music tab first followed by selecting "selected songs and playlists" and your selections below.This will erase all music currently on your iPhone first. In regards to manually managing music and syncing music, you can do one or the other, not both at the same time.

It seems Utorrent had something to do with it...

I can´t sync my iPod 3rd Generation with iTunes library

Hello, I´ve been trying for a while to sync my iPod with my iTunes library on my PC. It does show up on Windows as a drive and iTunes seems to know there is a device plugged in but then a message appears: "iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because an invalid response was received from the device" I´ve tried several solutions, including: restarting the iPod Service, restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, emptying my Temp directory and restarting and changing my device´s Drive Letter. On rare occasions, when I give it another try, I manage to get the iPod recognized, but when I enter the iPod menu, the sync button appears grayed out or if I can click it and attempt to synce the iPod, it seems to happen in the computer, but no changes are made on the iPod. I´ve tried syncing only music and only "selected music and tracks" but no setting seems to be transmitted to the iPod. The iPod shows the "charging" icon but never the "syncing" icon. I hope somone can help me. I have also tried syncing over Wi-Fi, and in the iPod, I can see the Pc but it appears grayed out.
And, to my outrage, random songs have been dissapearing from the iPod randomly. It sounds weird but maybe it is because of iOS 5. I have an iPod 3rd Generation and iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). Both iTunes and my iPod say my software is up to date and maybe the iPod is too old for further updates but I only want to get my new iTunes songs into my iPod. Please somebody help me. Thanks very much!

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Hey Mark
I'm Michael and I work for connex.io.
We were also constantly having problems with our address books, so we decided to build our own solution. connex.io is a service that syncs two-ways between all of your devices and services. It also de-duplicates, cleans completes and automatically updates your address books on all of those devices. So whenever you make a change on any of them, it automatically gets changed everywhere. So you only have to connect your address books once, and you will have your contacts always with you. No need to connect your device to your computer or sync manually.
If you want to check it out: www.connex.io or you can send me an e-mail if you would like some more info: [email protected]
I hope this helps you out.
Michael

Yes it will sync and if you have mobileme, over the air. But you can't write a note in Mail on the iPhone and sync over the air. Instead you get to write a new email instead. Go figure.
