After I plug in my iPhone, iTunes gets hung trying to back it up. Clicking the "x" next to the backup window does nothing.

Try this:
Quit iTunes.
Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu>All Programs>Accessories>right-click "Command Prompt">choose "Run as Administrator")
Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
Reboot your machine.
Restart iTunes.
If that doesn't resolve it you'll have to go to iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab click on the backups shown and delete them. Then try syncing again.

Hello bladeryu,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes quitting unexpectedly.
I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
I also recommend verifying that your software is up to date. You can check for updates by going to Apple () menu > Software Update…
You can find more information here:

If the issue persists, I recommend reinstalling iTunes:

My iPhone 4a keep telling to plug it in to iTunes and restore it I do that and then the next day it ask me to do the same thing what is the problem? I need and trouble shoot or some type of solution for this problem.

If you have restored as new and the device continues to go into restore mode, then it appears you need to make an appointment at the Genius bar as there could be a hardware issue with your device.
One last question, the phone has not been hacked/jailbroken, has it?

HT1766 Error message: "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." But how do I delete the backup?

Error message when attempting to backup up iPhone4S to Mac says "iTunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." But how do I delete the backup? Can't find answer to that anywhere.

We had this problem after upgrading to iOS 8.       The iPhone 5 would not backup either to the cloud or to the computer.   Backup always ended with an error message.
Long story short, with the help of iFunBox ( which I used to make manual backups of some important iPhone data files ), I discovered two games that
would crash iFunBox.      They were not important games for us, so I didn't try to isolate the offending data files.     And I deleted the two games from the iPhone.
Apparently these two games conflicted with iOS 8 just as they did with iFunBox.      The next backup without those games was then successful.
I backed up to both the Mac and the cloud.
Hope this helps.

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like app, music and videos. Thus, you wll have to resync those back to your iPod.

How to remove black "blocked plug-in" window that opens with iPhoto. It covers iPhoto and everything under it. I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away. It stays on my screen (covering my desktop icons) even after I quit iPhoto. How can I get it off my screen?

Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins installed?
Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto. Is there anything installed?

ITunes gets hung-up while playing

Since upgrading from 7.0.1 to 7.0.2, I have been having trouble with iTunes getting hung-up. While playing a track, it will get almost to the end (about 1-3 seconds left), then it won't go any further in that song, forcing me to skip to the next track. This happens about a third of the time. Any ideas as to a solution? If I can't fix it, is there a way to go back to 7.0.1? Using a Titanium PB G4, OS 10.4.8. Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem. After upgrading to iTunes 7.0.2 (running on my iMac), iTunes frequently stops playing. Technically, iTunes looks like it's still playing in my case, but there is no sound coming from either the computer speakers or the AirPort connected speakers. This happens several times an hour--VERY annoying. Any advice?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Hi, My name is Bheki Yende
I'm experiencing a problem with an app I've just purchased from iTunes, I have tried every piece of advice from the "iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store" and still nothing is working. I would like to get my refund on this pls.
This is an inconvenience, I don't understand why I have to contact the developer for a faulty product in your store.
I've paid iTunes to get this, so iTunes must fix this problem for me or give my money back.
Thanks

This is a user forum, you are not speaking to Apple here.
You will need to contact iTunes support here, regarding this issue. They will usually respond within 24 hours.
