Itunes locking up when the iPhone is connected to the computer

Has anyone found a "real" solution to the problem of iTunes locking up every time and iPhone is connected to the computer for syncing? I'm getting sick and tired of having to reboot my computer 6-7 times before I can get a clean connection so the two will sync. I would have thought Apple would have gotten off their collective A* by now and fixed an obviously serious software issue. Or are they going the way of Windows and just crank out crap just so they can say they have the coolest gadget?
Here's what I did today and still can't get iTunes to sync with my iPhone:
1. Completely un-installed "ALL" Apple products.
2. Cleaned the registry of "ALL" Apple products.
3. Reset the iPhone back to factory settings.
4. Shut down and restarted both.
5. Reloaded all new Apple software.
6. Started iTunes and as soon as I connect the iPhone, iTunes locks up.
7. I have restarted my computer 6 times and still can't get iTunes to run without lockup.

Looks like new firmware upgrade solved this issue.

When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone. This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working, help!

I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

My itunes will not sync my iphone or connect to the itunes store

Hi there,
A couple of months ago I started experiencing problems with my ipod touch syncing to my itunes, and the connection to the itunes store also became rather hit and miss. I decided to give it another go when I bought an iphone 4, which I did a couple of weeks ago. Despite updating my itunes to version 10.5 I am still experiencing the same problems. When I connect my iphone to my PC it gets to step 2 of the syncing process and then appears to be in some sort of limbo where it does not carry on working (the progress bar stays static rather than slowly increasing). I am also unable to connect to the itunes store (it does not recognise that there is a problem, rather it just says 'Itunes Store' in the main part of the screen, in some kind of Emperor's New Clothes scenario, as though it's trying to kid me). In addition I cannot connect to icloud in the control panel. I have no problems with connecting to the internernet, have defraged and done a disc cleanup and checked that the firewalls are not blocking connectivity.
Please, does anyone have any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

ITunes locks up When syncing iPhone

iPhone has been working fine for about 5 days since I got it. All of a sudden it now cannot sync to iTunes. It begins the process, then locks up iTunes. I can still use the iPhone, but cannot complete a sync.
Any ideas?
TIA

The first step is to restart your PC and reset your iPhone (hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until the Apple logo appears).
Open iTunes on your PC.
Once you phone is fully restarted (back to the home screen), go ahead and connect it to your computer. Be sure to connect it to a USB 2.0 port directly on the computer, not on a hub or keyboard.
If that doesn't work, let us know and we'll go through some more steps you can take.

HT1665 Why does music come out muddled and echoing in alarm mode when the iPhone is connected to the Bose SoundDock lll?

There is a very unique problem with the iPhone 5 and iPad mini when connected to the Bose SoundDock III.
In normal music playback, music sounds great coming out of the Bose SoundDock, but, when a song is chosen for the Apple Alarm App and turns on when the alarm goes off, the music sounds terrible. It reverberates, echoes, is muddled, sounds messy.
What is so odd about this is the same sound coming out of a speaker-device connected to the phone's headphone jack sounds perfect, and as intended.
It only has this issue when it is in alarm mode and it's connected via the lighting port connector.
Is this an Apple software glitch that wasn't researched fully or a manufacturing defect on the Bose end?
I've tried a couple Bose systems so it isn't peculiar to one SoundDock.
What are your thoughts?

Check Settings > General > Cellular > Cellular Data and make sure it's "On".

My Wi-Fi home network works, but the iPhone cannot connect to the network?

Let me clarify. I have a wifi home network that my laptop connects to and now also my iPhone. They both connect to it just fine and the internet works and everything. I just tried to setup the Remote app but my iPhone won't show up under Devices in iTunes. I know this is a problem with my network because I also tried setting up Home Sharing between my laptop and desktop computer but that won't work either. It's almost as if they're not on the same network because it can't seem to realize other devices are connected, but they are all connected to the same wifi network. My laptop is running windows 7. I have no idea what to do. Can you help please? Thanks!

I am trying to get the music content on my Mac onto my iPhone. When I connect the devices, the computer does not seem to recognize the iPhone, i.e., on the open itunes window, the iPhone is not seen as a connected "device".

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

How do I unlock my iPhone with my IMEI code on iTunes. And how do I change the iCloud account connecting to the phone?

My sister got the 5S, so she has given me her old 4S. She got the IMEI code from her network to allow me to unlock it. When I plug the phone into my computer, how do I use the IMEI code to unlock it on iTunes. The text my sis got from O2 says, "Apple have confirmed the iPhone IMEI 01.....etc. is set to unlock. To complete, connect the device to iTunes with a SIM never used in the iPhone". But I'm not sure what to do, I already connecting the iPhone with my SIM to iTunes... What next? Also how do I change the iCloud account connected to the phone (hers) to my own?
Thanks.
