IPhone 4: Hangup while attempting to sync with iTunes

I have an iPhone 4 that I sync with iTunes and updated my apps via the updates on my phone's AppStore via wireless with no issues at all since I bought he phone when it first came out. Until last evening.
I saw that I had about 8 app updates on my phone, and tried to update them on my phone as usual. They all got stuck waiting and wouldn't progress at all.
I tried a lot of stuff from the different forums - power phone off and on, reset, close and restart itunes, turn cloud off and on, etc...
the phone not only didn't update the apps, but It wont sync with itunes either. iTunes recognizes the phone, but then gets hung up making changes.
iTunes is up to date, and I have logged out and back in with my apple ID, and even tried removing all 3500 songs, but the sync would hang up before it got tomthe point of removing them. When I ran diagnostics, it said that there were no problems.
I was able to get the apps off of the phone, and set itunes to remove them so it wouldn't try to reinstall them. Still no-go.
I back up to iCloud nightly, so I could do a restore if necessary, though I'd prefer to try other options first.
Any additional advice, guidance, etc? I would really appreciate any suggestions!

Just updated to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared. Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB! What is going on and how do I fix this?

I had restored my iPhone 5 to factory settings and that cleared the problematic "Other" problem. Flash forward a couple weeks and the problem has once again resurfaced.
I tried updating iTunes and iOS to the newest versions and the problem still persists.
I'm officially ready to switch to Windows Phone or Android now...
*edit*
A Google search with results restricted to the last month shows that this problem seems to be becoming more and more common.

How can I sync my iphone to my home computer (to sync with itunes music) AND my work computer (to sync with Outlook calendar)?

How can I sync my iphone to my home computer (to sync with itunes music) AND my work computer (to sync with Outlook calendar)?

Sorry iphones are meant to be sync to one iTunes media library.
You could copy your music and put it on your work computer and then sync it.
If you try to sync to one and then sync to other its going to wipe the phone and remove the old sync with the new sync.

IPhone 4S won't do wifi sync with iTunes

I can't get 4s iPhone iOS 6 to do wifi sync with iTunes on my Mac Pro. Running Lion on Mac Pro and latest itune version. Current with all app and software updates.

No, the front screen has never been replaced before but I'm starting to think that the display connector might still have moved a little, I'll try and open it today.
Thanks.

IPhone 4S (iOS 6) no longer syncing with iTunes

Hi, this is my first post on Apple Support. I have several questions that I hope someone will be able to answer. Some regarding my iPhone, and some regarding my MBP.
For starters, my iPhone 4S is running on iOS 6, and no longer syncs with iTunes. I am no longer able to add new music, I can only manage my photos through iPhoto. I updated to iOS 6 while at the Apple store and was told that everything transferred to my iPhone would now go through iCloud, which I wasn't too happy about. I thought that my phone was no longer syncing because of iCloud, and therefore deleted my iCould account (which didn't have anything important on it anyway), but that did not fix the problem. Rather than syncing, iTunes asks me to restore my phone back to factory settings. I considered doing that, but I don't have a back up on my MBP, so that is out of the question. Also, before restoring, iTunes does not give me the option to back up, which I thought it would.
I would like to know how to make it so that my phone syncs with iTunes again so that I can manage my music etc. Does it have to do with iOS 6, iCloud, my MBP, or what? Is my iCloud still in the picture, even though I have deleted my account? If so, how do I disable it completely?
Second question. On a different, older MBP (not mine, and probably running on old software), I burned a Maxell DVD-R containing just under 4GB of music. However, when I insert the disc in my MBP (running on 10.6.8), the disc reads as blank. I tried restarting with the disc in, as well as ejecting and inserting it several times, but nothing is doing the trick. I'm not sure if it's the brand, my MBP's optical drive, or the fact that it was burned on a computer that is running on earlier software than mine. I've read around on the internet with no luck. I have received two pop-ups, one that says it's blank and another that says it is not readable by my computer. Why?
I've been a long time user of Apple, and rarely have any complaints, but my iPhone is really quite screwed up. The DVD-R issue is not a big deal, but I rely on my iPhone extremely (as most do), and not being able to manage it through iTunes is such a pain. I really hope someone can help!

Wow. I never got back to this, I apologize. Today I started searching around online again randomly for a solution on Apple support. The message I am getting is "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." I've tried many different things both on my computer and my iPhone such as reseting networks, changing the cellular data options, restarting my modem and restarting the wifi on my computer. None of it seems to work. Even if anything were to work temporarily until iTunes 11, I would love that, but I can't seem to find a temporary fix.

HT1386 iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1) cannot sync with itunes 11.1.5.

Both my iPhone and iTunes are updated, iOS 7.1 and iTunes 11.1.5. However, not only can they not wifi sync, when I plug in my iPhone, my iTunes doesn't respond. The iPhone tab did not pop up. When I go under "File" -> "Devices", nothing is there when my iPhone is plugged in. I want to sync my iPhone with iTunes, but I cannot do anything right now. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but that didn't change a thing. I restarted my laptop and my iPhone, but that didn't change a thing either. What can I do?

Windows 8?

Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings. and i dont want to restore it because i havent backup. it is on a mac and it also wont connect to wifi.

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Is there a way to separate podcasts that I'll go to the iPad and others that'll go to the iPhone and be able to auto sync with iTunes?

So far the only way I'm able to pull that off is having the "sync podcast" on the iPhone and iPad turn off, otherwise everything on iTunes goes into both devices and is a real pain in the...

That's actually what I'm currently doing... but the problem is that by doing so I have to manually delete the podcasts I already heard on my iPhone on iTunes again... because the "sync podcasts" option on the iPhone and iPad is off, if I turn that on... all podcasts go in all my devices, and I like to keep podcasts for iPad and iPhone separate.
