Itunes 10.5 crashes and won't sync my iphone

I have downloaded the software udpate on my Mac Mini that I use to sync my iPhone with. It offered me an update to iTunes and the iPhone. I backed up the iPhone and transferred purchases whilst it was downloading the iOS update. It then updated the phone OS but here is the crunch. When it then booted the phone iTunes crashes, it won't sync any apps, it won't sync my music, it is as if the phone is new out the box so I have lost all of my settings.
I am not very impressed or very happy.
Also if I now go into iTunes the backup that I took yesterday or previous ones are no longer there so I can't even try a restore to previous backups, they are missing from the list to restore from so I am stuffed.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Is the iPhone recognized correctly after stopping the Eyephedrine plug-in error? And is iTunes now able to connect to the online store?

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

All iTunes songs grayed out and won't sync to phone

Hello,
I have over 9000 songs in my iTunes library. My iTunes library is stored locally on my iMac. The vast majority of songs were imported from CD's I own. If in iTunes I make the selection to sync the entire library to my phone, iTunes reports that there are about only 250 songs total. If I select "Sync only checked songs" and choose a few songs or albums, the number of songs to sync stays at zero. iTunes version 12.1.0.50.
When viewing my iTunes library I noticed that just about all of my song titles are gray. If I click on a song in iTunes it plays no problem. However I can't sync anything over to my phone anymore.
If I go to the library location on my HDD all of the music files are there as they should be.
I appreciate any suggestion - I've been trying to fix this for some time now and have had no success.
Regards.
NM

I have finally solved this issue. Here is the solution:
1. Open iTunes
2. Select Music
3. In the upper right hand corner select Albums.
4. Under "All Albums" highlight the first album, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, hold down the shift key and select the last album.
5. All albums should now be selected.
6. Place the cursor over one of the albums. Press with 2 fingers on the trackpad to bring up the menu.
7. Select "Check All"
8. Congratulations - no more grayed out songs and they will sync now.
9. Go into your iPhone sync and check the songs you want to transfer and click the sync button.
I hope this helps you to resolve your issue.

Itunes does not start and i cannot sync my iphone 4

I have installed Itunes 10.1.1.4 on my computer running Windows XP but it does not start. This prevent me to sync my new iphone 4.
Previously I had other versions of itunes on the computer and sometimes the same problem happened.
I did a search on Apple support and I followed the instructions (itunes disinstallation and reinstallation) but it didn't work.
I tried also to disable all the startup app but itunes using msconfig (as again suggested by apple) but it din't work as well.
Somewhere on internet I found that Bonjour could create the problem: using services.msc I disabled it but it din't work as well.
I would appreciate very much if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Giovanni

Windows Message 'iTunes has stopped working' and fails to sync my iPhone

I connect my iPhone to iTunes and it starts syncing and backing up my iPhone and when it gets to loading songs it gets to about the second song and a windows message pops up and says
iTunes has stopped working
Windows can check online for a solition to the problem (i have clicked this and nothing happens)
and it also just tells me to close the program
Its beyond frustrating now, its happened about 10 times
I also downloaded the latest version of iTunes but that hasnt helped...

Updated to the iOS 7 and now my iTunes Store keeps crashing and won't open please help, Updated to the iOS 7 and now my iTunes Store keeps crashing and won't open please help

I recently updated the software on my iPhone 5 and now I can't open my iTunes Store and e keypad seems really slow in responding. I have turn my phone in and off but it hasn't solved the issue. Can someone please help!

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

I installed iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run.

I installed iTunes on my Dell PC running Windows 7 and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run. Are there any known conflicts, or likely issues that may be causing this?
I've rebooted, and the iTunes program seems to operate fine. I used it to upgrade my iPad's OS to 8.1.3.

Anyone else have this problem and resolved it?
Thank you!

Well, I hadn't rebooted after the 7.1.1 upgrade, but obviously I had to restart iTunes. After I rebooted my iBook iTunes worked... Maybe the 7.1.1 update should be marked with a must reboot?

I purchased a new computer from the one that I originally used to sync with my iPod Touch.    Now my iPod is showing disabled and the iTunes on my new computer won't sync with the iPod.   How can I override disable feature to get in and change my password

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
