ITunes wont finish syncing my iPhone and iPad.
My system:
Mavericks: 10.9.4
iTunes: 11.3.1
iOS: 7.1.2
iPhone 4S
iPad Air
Today I have encountered an issue with my iPhone and iPad when syncing with iTunes. I connect my devices to iTunes and have the option selected to not allow the devices to sync automatically. After the device has shown up in iTunes, I click on sync and iTunes does it thing until it reaches the point where it waits for the changes to be applied (on iPad this is step 6 of 6 and on iPhone this is step 7 of 7). It reaches this point and then just does nothing, I get the moving status bar but the sync does not finish and I have to press the 'X' to cancel the sync and eject my device. This happens on both iPhone and iPad.
I have contacted Apple Care and they have talked me through the process of disc repair and repairing disc permission from the disk utility menu from pressing CMD and R on boot up. All this came back all OK.
The only thing that I have done to both of devices within the last few days for the first time ever, I have switched on airplane mode, I have never done this before and only had it on for a few seconds but looking through some other questions on the Apple support pages, could this have had an effect on the syncing issue I'm having?
Any help or advice on this would be great...
Many thanks...
Just wanted to update my original post with some more information.
After spending the day talking to Apple Care about this issue with syncing, sadly Apple care could not offer me much help. I was told they were not aware of any current sync problems or bugs.
I think the problem has something to do with the fact that I switched on/off Airplane mode for a very short while, I find it a little bit strange how both devices started to do the same problem straight after I switched on/off Airplane mode.
Anyhow, in the end, I had to go through the long process of fully restoring both iPhone and iPad and setting them up as new...

I just purchased a new computer and downloaded I tunes but when I go to sync my iphone and ipad touch my library from my old computer doesn't show up on the new one. Only the purchased itune songs come up. How do I get my original itunes library?
Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

HT5295 How to sync between iPhone and iPad?
How to sync between iPhone and iPad at Podcasts app?
Please elaborate - share what?
Just guessing here...
Any sharing is probably a result of being logged in with the same Apple ID on both devices.
For apps/music: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads OFF.
For iCloud: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
For iMessage: Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. -
I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3. Any suggestions?
All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

I got a new computer and need to sync my iPhone and ipad on it, how do i do that without losing all data. I need help ASAP!
If you still have the old computer see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If you don't have your old computer, but you made regular backups of it, restore the most recent backup using the backup software that you used to make the backup. You will have to read the instructions for it.
If you don't have your old computer and you did not back it up regularly see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -

how do i sync my iphone and ipad 1 to keep game scores
Game score / syncing has to built into the app by the game developer. It's done either thru GameCenter (that should be installed on your iPad, if iOS has been upgraded), or by the game itself. Read instructions and check settings for the specific game.

Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard. Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?
To expand on Niels post...
First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.) -
How do I sync my iPhone and iPad to iTunes via iCloud if I have a PC?
I can't use icloud to sync my iPhone or iPad. The iCloud backup works but when I check out the Itunes Wi-Fi sync on the phone it keeps listing that sync will resume when my old mobileme username is available. My iCloud username is an different email address an the same one I use for my itunes account.
I can still sync using iTunes and the USB connection and then the date and time on my phone is correct.
