I want to add that I deleted all the old back-ups and created a new back-up without any issues except sync problem.

iPhone5, the screen is damaged, never synced to iTunes, locked screen, cannot turn off the device...

No. I would never take an iPhone to anyone other than Apple unless there was no alternative. You can get the display replaced on an iPhone 5 at most Apple stores for $149. If there's more damage, it will cost $229 for a full replacement. Both prices assuming you don't have AppleCare+.
As I said, taking it elsewhere forfeits your ability to ever get it serviced by Apple. Apple does not sell iPhone parts. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts. All the parts you will find are either salvaged from damaged phones or counterfeit.
If the phone is at all functional, you may be able to plug it into a computer and extract the photos and videos from the camera roll.

Itunes locks up on Sync to Ipad with IOS 7

Figured I would cross post this to the Ipad community.
I have the 11.1 (126) Itunes on iMac connecting to one of my iPads that has IOS 7 on it. I have tried connected (wired) and wireless Sync and Itunes locks up at the last step the checking for tracks to sync.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

IPod times out / iTunes Locks Up / Synch not working

Hey everyone... I am having a terrible time here.... For Christmas I bought a new iMac Core Duo and an 80GB iPod. I transferred all my music from my old Mac, a G4 Cube, using the Migration Assistant when the new iMac booted up for the first time.
I am not able to get a successful sync from my iPod. Some of my symptoms include:
(a) Plug In iPod, iTunes launches. Sync Begins. iTunes locks up at a particular song (i.e. Synching 138 of 13275). iPod still appears to be synching but nothing is happening.
(b) Plug in iPod, iTunes launches. Sync Begins. iPod quits synching after a minute or so and returns to its main menu. iTunes still thinks it's synching but is locked at a particular song (i.e. Synching 38 of 13275)
In any case, iTunes hangs at some random song number, and all I can do is Force Quit, but iTunes never really quits... the little black triangle stays under the icon and I can't relaunch or Force Quit iTunes. More often than not the the Finder locks up as well. In any case, I can't even restart the Mac... I have to hold the power button until it forcefully shuts down.
I've done the "5 R's" several times, and I've also put the iPod in Disk Mode and reformatted it thinking something might be wrong with the file system but the symptons persist and I can't get a reliable sync.
I saw in some of these posts that a powered USB hub may solve the problem but that did not work either... same symptoms.
Having been a devout Mac evangelist for the last few years and a confirmed 'Switcher' since OS X came out I'm disappointed in this and hope a fix can be found soon. Any ideas from the collective?

Hey... I brought my iMac and the iPod to the Apple store... they tested it and determined it to be a DOA unit. They gave me a new one and it's synching fine.

Are you looking for the serial number or the IMEI? If the phone was active on your Verizon acount, Verizon can give you the IMEI.

Can't sync more than once - iTunes locks up

For 3 days now I have been having problems with iTunes. In each case, I have been able to sync once and then iTunes locks up and becoames completely unresponsive. The only error message I get is not from iTunes, but from Windows XP OS saying something about a delayed write failed, then... iTunes comes to a screaching halt.
I believe this has something to do with the library, as I was able to get iTunes back up and running by deleting the library completely, reimporting all my music, recreating all my play lists and then resyncing.
After hours of doing all this, I got one successful sync and then it locked up again!
I have tried 2 different computers with the same results.
Am I alone on this one? Is anyone else having this problem. I see a lot of listings for something about a " -500 Library error", but I do not get this message. Is it the same problem but for some reson the error isn't getting thrown?
TIA
John

Hard to believe no one else is having this problem. I talked to an Apple tech at the store on Saturday and he suggested brining my machine into the store and they could see if they could fix it. Problem is, it's buried in my entertainment center and there all kinds of wires going everywhere. Just to get it disconnected and to the store would be at least 2 hours of my time.
Hasn't anyone else had this problem?

My ipad is locked and I have forgotton my passcode. I have never synced to itunes. Do I lose all purchases and photos? Many thanks

Removing Disabled erases the contents of the iPad. You can redownload your apps, but the pics will be gone. If you have important files on your iPad, you should always backup frequently.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Itunes sync error code -54

I have an IPAD2, IPOD, 5S and 6....each time I connect to Itunes I get sync error and the code is 54.
Code is not listed on Apples Support page of various codes.
Uninstalled Itunes, restarted Windows PC, dowloaded and reinstalled ITunes, same issue.
Is there a solution to this problem?

On the Windows version of iTunes, error -54 means a general IO error occurred that can be caused by many different things: a file is corrupt, a file is locked, or an .m4a file could not be converted to a lower bit rate.
iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814

Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.

I have just bought an iPhone 5 and it won't sync to iTunes. It says it needs iTunes 10.7, which I have downloaded and installed. I still get the error message and looking at "about iTunes" it says 10.6.3. What do I do??

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

That is precisely what my mid-2010 MacBoook Pro 13 was doing before the drive finally died after an Apple Genius rebooted it a dozen or so times. I have since read about the exact same thing happening to others, including a writer for The Atlantic magazine who had never had an issue with a Mac before. Do a back-up ASAP to make sure you don't lose anything and see about replacing the HDD. It is only about $140 for a new drive. The real issue is if you lose your data, too. So, make sure you do that back-up!
