I have my iTunes acc on my computer, but my computer is broken. So I barrow a computer from a friend, can I still do iPhone updates like iOS 5 and not loose my data on my phone?

Ok so. I want to get iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 but my computer recently broke on me right before the release. So im going to barrow a apple laptop from a friend but I'm wondering if I plug my phone into it, and if my data will go on the laptop from my phone and stay there so when my phone restores I can redownload my info back on my phone. I'm trying to think of ways I can try to get iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 please help.

Well, I strongly recommend that before you make a backup before sync with a new iTunes, because this will erase everything you have.
Look at www.copytrans.net, they have diferent products, depending on the case.

I dropped my iphone 4s in water and everything works but the backlight. I have heard rumors that I can take my damaged iPhone into an apple store and trade it in for a new phone and pay the difference. Is this true?

Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price.

How can I sync my iPhone to a new library without losing all the data on the phone?

I recently switched computers as the old one had died but I can't transfer any of my music from the iTunes to the new phone. Is there any way I can backup the phone and then sync it with the new library and somehow restore all my app's etc?
Thanks,
Raf

Specifically I'm looking to keep all my photo's on the phone.

I have my iTunes on my PC and have an iPod Classic, I have just purchased an iPod touch and want to load all of my Itunes music onto it, how do I do this and not loose my library, I'm not very computer savvy.

You sync music the same way as on the Classic. What you sync to an iPod does not effect the iTunes library on your computer.

Will I loose any data on my phone if I update form ios 7 to 8

Will I loose any data on my phone if I update form ios 7 to 8

Normally when you update a device no data is lost and that includes games. But there are times when things go wrong. I suggest you make an encrypted backup through atones before updating. That way if something does go awry you can recover everything from that backup.
Start the latest version of iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone. Select your iPhone in the devices button at the top of the iTunes screen. Select the encrypted backup choice under the General tab. Be sure to remember the back up password. Once you have completed the backup you can remain connected to iTunes and do the update.

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
Pin order to share photos using photostream you need to log into the same iCloud account on both devices, videos are not included in photostream, but other third party apps such as Dropbox and video stream for iCloud can share video between your devices.

My new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

Do you mean two itune slibraries or two iTunes account sused to purchase music?
Yes to both.
If you want two iTunes libraries for different users, easiest waay is to create a new user account on the computer.
This user will have their own itunes library

what can be wrong?

I recommend you do as LexSchellings and I are telling you to do. If you have uninstalled iTunes and the reinstalled it from Apple's website and it still does not work, you will have to contact the Apple Technical Support section for them to guide you through steps to try and get it working.

How can I have two itunes accounts on one computer?

How can I have two itunes accounts on one computer?

Not sure what you mean.
An account is a user name and password.
Sign into whichever account you want to use for purchasing.
Authorize the computer for both account to listen to the content.

We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? Home sharing is NOT selected. This recently became an issue when we added additional devices. Now we keep getting each other's apps!

Se descargan aplicaciones para mi iPad 64 3G, las cuales en el momento de sincronizar no pasan a la iPad debido a que solicita una autorizacion para el ordenador la cual se autoriza con ID y el Password, esta orden se procesa y vuelve a solicitar nuevamente la autorizacion y asi sucesivamente.
He intentado creando nuevas cuentas y desinstalando iTunes y volviendolo a instalar.
Favor de orientarme en la solucion adecuada para el asunto comentado anteriormente.
