Iphone4 frozen during syncing w/itunes and upgrade to ios5

Does anyone know how to fix a frozen iphone4. The screen just has a picture of the usb with an arrow to itunes. I've tried turning off the device to no avail.
I was syncing the device with itunes on laptop windows 7 to upgrade to ios5.
I would appreciate any suggestions or notes if you've experienced the same and what the resolution is, please.
Thank you.
Deborah

I rang Apple and they told me to restore to factory defaults i.e. lose everything. I am going into an Apple store tomorrow, but I am not hopeful

I have an iPhone 3S. I forgot to install iOS5 on it before to pass to iCloud. Now, I am unable to sync it with iTunes and update to iOS5. Is there a solution?

Hi jeffmbellucci,
If you are having issues dragging music to your iPhone 4 after a recent upgrade to iOS 7, you may want to verify that the phone is still set to "Manually manage music and videos." You may find the following article helpful:

My iPad2 won't sync with iTunes. Upgraded iPad to iOS 6, iTunes is latest version (10.7). Cable connection. What am I missing?

I'm having the same, identical problem. It goes into step 2 (backing up process) then it goes back to step one (finding iPad) and it starts over again. It will just keep doing that for 3 or 4 times until it will say "iPad not found". This is so frustrating.

Saved in my PC during sync with itunes, the PDFs DRAGGED TO THE FILES BOX

Saved in my PC during sync with itunes, the PDFs DRAGGED TO THE FILES BOX Of Aji iRead App or other pdf reader app, just below the list of Apps in itunes and the list in ipad show, in itunes sync screen?
If download wifi a pdf book, with pdf read app then after sync this would saved in PC?

iRead PDF has a link in its description to its developers website (http://www.ajidev.com/iread/index.html). In iTunes, with your iPad connected, you need to select the document(s) that you want to copy from iRead PDF to your computer (http://www.ajidev.com/iannotate/support/itunes.html - the iRead help on their website links to iAnnotate as they are the basically the same except that iAnnotate allows you to make notes).

My iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes,

my iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes, but Windows Explorer (Windows7) recognizes the iPhone is connected and will download photos from iPhone.
When I look at the Settings-General-iTunes Wifi Sync, it says "Sync will resume when "PC" is available."
More details:
I have three iPhone4 phones. 1 of them will Sync with iTunes, but the other 2 have this problem where they will not Sync. All 3 phones recently were able to Sync, like 10 or 14 days ago. I am Sync ing them all to the same PC and iTunes account. No idea what has changed to cause 2 of the iPhones to be unable to Sync. they both have the "Sync will resume when "PC" is available" message under the Wifi Sync menu.

You say your phone will not sync but then you say, "when it does sync."
Does it sync or not? Did you remember to select music to sync onto your phone before clicking on Apply or Sync?
You do have to have iTunes on your computer in order to sync your phone. And your music must be in iTunes.

So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup.

Hey Stan1958,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod nano and iTunes. Based on your symptoms, you may find the following resources helpful in resolving this issue:
Windows
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
Thanks,

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.
