Trying to sync iPhone 4 with itunes and get an error message PLEASE help

I am currently using and iPhone 4. This morning I had synced my iPhone with itunes and it was working fine. I came home and wanted to add some music and such to it and all of a sudden i will plug it in to itunes and i,t looks like its going gets to step 2 of 6 (which is the back up process) and then an error message comes up saying itunes has stopped working, my only option to do is exit the window..
Any ideas why this would be the case? its really frustrating me. I am also not the most computer savvy.
Thanks

Try reinstalling iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If that doesn't help, if you are using a Windows based computer, could be your anti virus software or your firewall that's preventing the sync.

The origin of this error is that you are trying to sync with the wrong version of iTunes. However, in this case it might be indicating a corrupt file. Does it always stop at the same picture? If so, try deleting the picture from the folder and syncing again.

Same issue. Is this a new bug with iTunes 10.5.1??
Anyone know of a solution?
I reported it to Apple on the feedback page, but, I'm pretty convinced that Apple doesn't listen to or read their feedback. http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

I was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was pgraded to ios version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

i was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was upgraded to ios5 version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

As peter says, this is evidence that your phone was previously hacked and was re-locked by the upgrade.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it. There is nothing else we can suggest.

I do NOT have an SC info folder at /Users/Shared/ directory to delete.
I just installed Lion yesterday, and am running iTunes 10.4. First attempt to sync since upgrade.
Thanks

Yup,
Me too...this is stupid, stupid, stupid. Just purchased my 200 (ish) mac and now I am told that my new Mac Book pro is not "authorized".
Which if my 200 macs are authorized. Can someone please tell me???
I "deauthorized" my old MBP and still told I cannot use my iPhone with iTunes.
Interesting that my old $2500 MBP, my new $3000 MBP and my $500 iPhone all cannot work cuz of some pinhead's decision to use this assorization process.
Yes I am very, very, very mad.

Cannot update OSX version 10.6.8 on my mac in order to sync iphone 5s with itunes

I cannot update OSX version 10.6.8 on my mac in order to sync iphone 5s with itunes, I am currently running 10.5.8 which appears not to support iphone 5s, i have available space on my mac but cannot seem to install. What am i doing wrong, what do i need to do ?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
If it's an Intel Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update twice.
If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

ERROR MESSAGES WHILE SYNCING IPHONE 3GS WITH ITUNES 11.0.1

ERROR MESSAGES WHILE SYNCING IPHONE 3GS WITH ITUNES 11.0.1
I just upgraded to iTunes 11.0.1 and although my music, podcast and apps sync with my iPhone 3GS (Version 4.1), iCal and Address Book doesn't! I get the following error messages:
After clicking OK, another dialog box appears that states:
Also, iSync has this to say:
Until the upgrade, I had no problems syncing my iPhone 3GS with iTunes!
How can I correct this new issue?
Thank you very much in advance,

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. And then reboot your computer.
See if that fixes your problem.

Syncing IPhone apps with ITunes or vice versa?

I have what is probably a very simple question but the more information that I read the more confused I'm getting. I use my IPhone to download apps and then I delete them if I decide I don't want them. I only use ITunes to "backup" my device. I have never downloaded an app to Itunes and I don't plan to; I do everything on the phone itself. It is my understanding that if I sync with Itunes I can first transfer purchases from the phone and then sync the phone with itunes. It is also my understanding that the end result is that the apps on my phone will match the apps in itunes. However, if I deleted 20 apps from my phone but not from Itunes, then syncing is just gonna put them right back on my phone, correct?
All I want to do is backup my phone in case something happens. I don't care what's accessible to me if I'm on ITunes because I never am. Can I just backup my phone and completely ignore the apps? If I were to lose my phone, I could just login to the app store and re-download them.
Sorry for the lengthy question but it seems I'm trying to do the opposite of what syncing is intended for. Is syncing synonymous with backing up?
Help please.

It is my understanding that if I sync with Itunes I can first transfer purchases from the phone and then sync the phone with itunes.
Before you connect your phone to your computer, make sure that autosync is disabled in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your computer, syncing to an empty address book will delete your contacts.
Right click on your device and choose "transfer purchases". All bought media and apps from iTunes will be copied to your iTunes library on your computer. Apps you deleted on your phone before will not be transferred, but iTunes will remember that you bought them, in case you want to download them again for free: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Apps you deleted on the phone will not be synced back unless you select them again in the app pane and sync your phone after that.
Transferring your apps to your iTunes library is necessary, because the phone is not supposed to be a backup medium. You might consider that when iOS5 and iClound will be introduced, but until then it's a good idea to have a backup of your apps inside your iTunes library.
To back up manually without syncing do this:
Right click on your phone in the device list and choose "backup". A manual backup without a sync will be performed. See what's saved inside the backup here: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

Trouble syncing iPhone 4s with iTunes (sync won't start)

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my computer, both my computer and iTunes recognize it and nothing seems out of the ordinary until I try and sync the phone with iTunes. After pushing the sync button, the top of itunes says "Syncing iPhone (step 1 of 7)", and under that "waiting for sync to start", but after a minute or so a pop up box appears that says the sync could not be completed because it failed to start. I've tried all my USB ports, multiple cables, both my phone and itunes are completely up to date. Any idea what could cause this problem?

Is 10.6.6 the current 10.6 version?

Syncing iphone 6 with iTunes inconsistency

I am having difficulties in syncing my iphone 6 with iTunes. I have all selections made press apply and then it rushes through steps 1 to 5 and removes my selection randomly deleting music and videos from my phone. Anyone else having issues.

When the media on the device won't update as expected during a sync the method that usually works is this:
Export the contents of the camera roll. (You should do this routinely anyway.)
Backup the device, unless you have a recent backup that you would prefer to restore.
Restore as a new device. (The general restore process doesn't seem to clear things out before reloading, so there can be issues with missing artwork or incorrect capacity calculations.)
Restore the chosen backup.
In some cases it might pay to use the recovery mode method given in HT201263: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at step 3 to ensure that a device has been completely reset before reloading your content.

How to sync iPhone 5s with iTunes without getting error Msg: "com.apple.MediaLibraryService quit unexpectedly"?

I had to restore Mavericks on my MacBook Pro and since the restoration, whenever I sync my iPhone 5s with iTunes, I get the error message "com.apple.MedialLibraryService quit unexpectedly". Any solutions?

Thanks for the link, Niel. I'm kind of disappointed with Apple that they're making us buy an upgrade to her OS to get all of her Apple products to work together. It seems weird that we could have any old Windows machine and this would work great, but the fact that she has a MacBook is screwing this up.
