ITunes 11 (Win7) freezes when syncing iPhone 4S / Ipad2

After installing iTunes 11 I can no longer sync my iPhone 4S or iPad 2 via either wifi or with the sync cable. Syncing was balky after the iOS6 rollout under the last version of iTunes 10, and it never worked over wifi (again, only after upgrading to iOS6), but at least I could get a cable sync to work about 60% of the time. I was hoping and praying that this issue would be fixed with the new iTunes, but sadly the situation has gone from bad to catastrophic. iTunes still fails to recognize or sync my devices over wifi, and now when I try doing a cable sync it appears that iTunes will recognize the device and attempt to start a sync, but I've never made it past step 2 before iTunes completely hangs, at which point I can only force it to shut down through the task manager. Of course it doesn't help that iTunes 11 is woefully sluggish on my two-year-old quad-core computer with 6GB RAM. That's even after restarting the system and launching iTunes with no other programs running. APPLE: you seem to be in a very self-destructive mode these days. But I digress...
If anybody has an idea of how I can make my iPad and iPhone sync again I will be very appreciative.

I have the same problem. I cannot sync or apply any settings to my iPhone in iTunes after upgrading to iTunes 11. It just freezes/hangs. I also found that since the upgrade to iOS 6 that the sync is problematic.
The only fix I have seen on-line is to completly wipe the iPhone and do a restore. That is insane.

Itunes has stopped working when syncing iPhone 6 Plus

Hi,
I cannot sync my iphone 6 plus with itunes. Itunes opens ok, begins syncing but when it gets to step 5 always shows the error 'itunes has stopped working - Windows will try and find a solution'.
I have tried everything from here Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
Nothing seems to work, I cannot put any of my personal music onto my phone and its driving me crazy! any help would be appreciated.

Same here....also when I restart iTunes afterward, all my devices don't even show up in iTunes at all until after you restart the computer
Even then, the problem persists. And I've tried all kinds of troubleshooting techniques

ITunes on PC does not crash when syncing IPhones but crashes halfway through IPad sync

Itunes and Ipad on latest software iterations.
When syncing IPhones all perform faultlessly. When I try to sync. my IPad ITunes crashes halfway through the process.
For the last two weeks I have not been able to remove downloaded TV programmes via ITunes and have had to perform the removal via
<Settings>General>Usage>Manage storage. One audiobook is not visible on ITunes and cannot be deleted by any method I have tried.
I am storing all media on a WDCloud drive as I have over 1.3 TBytes of films, TV Programmes and audiobooks.
I have tried repairing both ITunes and Quicktime to no avail.
IOS8.1.2
Itunes

Hi Brendan
Thanks for the reply.
I noticed that the sync crashed at the point where it was downloading either Apps or Video (TV Progs). I tried a 'delete all media' reset yesterday. Problem still present and then I had no media or Apps other than some of the Apps as supplied on initial startup.
Today I tried a different USB to Lightning lead and at one point I thought it was working with Wi-Fi sync but whilst it didn't crash, the Icons of the Apps that were present on the IPad before the problem occurred are in the same place as before but greyed out and the Apps obviously have not been loaded.
Funnily enough I did a factory re-set just before you sent this so will post again if this works to help others. I believe this is going to be an IOS 8 problem like so many other IOS 8 problems I have found.
Best wishes
Adrian

I understand that iTunes on your computer is becoming unresponsive when your iPhone is connected. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over and working through the steps in the attached article.

Disable or turn off your firewall, anti-virus, and all security software and try the download again.

To transfer purchases from device to computer:
Connect device, syncing is not necessary.
Select File > Transfer purchases.
If you have never synced with this computer or the device is synced to another computer, you will NOT be able to sync with this computer without replacing the library.

HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages
iMessages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Music library database index (but not the music itself)
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.

When syncing, iPhone 5C always asks to register

I'm trying to help a friend here. He's new to the Apple world but is now fully equipped--iMac, iPad 4 and iPhone 5C. Every time he hooks his phone up to his computer and tries to sync with iTunes, the system asks him to register his phone. What would cause this?

Yes, if that new data hasn't been backed up yet.

Updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!
