ITunes freezes at start of sync with iPhone5
I am using an iPhone5 connected by cable to a Mac. All software is current. Multiple reboots of everything tried.
This problem started only a few weeks ago and has never happened to me in the four years I have had iphones. When I start the sync process, the iTunes dialog hangs at "Waiting for sync to start" and I must force quit from iTunes because it is no longer responding. If I try to sync my new iPad to the same system, I works flawlessly. There is, therefore, some new incompatibility between my iPhone5 and my Mac. I have read as many threads in our community as I can, and no solution works. Help.
FIXED! I can't believe this, but I just noticed that the problem is completely fixed. I have no idea if it was due to an upgrade or what. All I know is this: when I have a problem and post it here, it gets fixed spontaneously without any other help withing days. I can't understand why things go wrong and then right again with my Apple devices, but that has alway been the way. Thanks to all of you who viewed this posting and sent positive thougths my way - it worked!

When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?
Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists. If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

Ever since I updated iTunes my iPods will not sync with my cars
Ever since I updated iTunes my iPods will not sync with my cars.I have a 30g and 60g 5th gen iPods that I use in my two car. In my cars I have a dealer installed integration module so that I can navigate my I pods play list artist and song titles using the radio itself. Ever since that last iTunes update 7.3.1. I no longer am able to use this feature. I used my sister’s 30g iPod that she did has not updated and the system works fine. Can someone help me with this problem.
I have had an Alpine head unit in my car with the ipod connection for about a year and it has worked fine until recently. Now I get an error message on the ipod that reads, "The currently attached accessory is not supported by this ipod." I have tried connecting a buddy's ipod to my car stereo, and his still works fine with it. I've done the 5 R's, tried going back to an older version of itunes as Alpine suggested. My next step will be going to the Apple store with an appointment, seeing what they say.

I want to get my kids an iPod touch... can I install a second version of iTunes on my computer to sync with the new iPod?
There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:

My computer crashed and cannot be recovered. I had my Itunes on that computer that synced with my ipad. How do I get my music off of my ipad to my new computer?
You should have a backup but if not you will need to transfer the contents before you sync or it will be erased.
Transfer music purchased from iTunes

For other music you will require a 3rd party program

My iPod is locked so it's telling me to login to iTunes but I can't sync with any computer.
I just put on a new passcode on my iPod yesterday and I forgot the passcode for it. I kept trying what I remembered of it in any way I thought possible but it was never the correct passcode. I tried once more and now it says "iPod is disabled - connect to iTunes", but no computers will sync with my iPod. can anyone help me?
Hi Kimberly,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the wrong passcode was entered multiple times on your iPad 2 which is now disabled, and you’re running into an issue restoring it. The article linked below provides more information about the iPad is disabled alert and will walk you through resolving the issue.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
Take care,

I loaded the new iTunes (11.0.0.163) on my computer and also just purchased a new iPhone 5. Prior to loading the NEW iTunes, I was able to sync with my new iPhone 5. After I loaded the new iTunes, I now get an error message: 0xE8000084. What's up?
Also, it says the iPhone 5 is not registered to my Apple ID.See if the troubleshooting for 0xE error codes on this page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221

I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone, why?
I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone when I connect it to iTunes and select sync, why? On the music tab, I have selected, import all songs.
Okay, but being "checked and highlighted" does not cause media to sync.
Do you manually manage the content on the device or use the sync feature as designed?
If manually managing the content, can you "drag and drop" the media onto the device?
If syncing, go to the Movies (or video) tab and select the video there, then sync.
Does it work now? -
I downloaded 21 songs recently to iTunes and they won't sync with my ipod. 1st time this has happened. Any ideas to download these songs would be appreciated.
I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.
