Why can't I sync my phone with my computer after both the ios7 and Itunes 11.1 updates?

I just recently purchased the new iPhone 5s and have been very happy with it.  At the same time I updated my itunes to the newest version 11.1.0.126.
Since the initial syncing, I have been unable to complete the syncing process.  It progresses all the way through stalls out on step 5 "Downloading Safe Safari Browising Data".  Is there anything i can do to fix this issue?

Which is precisely why I am frustrated with how proprietary Apple is.  No matter how much people try to spout out about the superiority of Apple products, my iPhone should be able to grab music from my laptop and my PC at home, both being authorized already.  I've already tried home sharing.  I didn't buy the iPhone outright, it was provided to me through work.  For all the Apple and Mac only fans, I feel this is Apple's way of trying to make me purchase music I have already bought on CD through iTunes.  Whatever happened to ease of use?  Customer friendly applications?  Anyone else dislike how hard it is to add artwork to an album in iTunes after you load a CD and it doesn't recognize it?  Track by track?  How about offering one simple, convenient copy and paste to album like in Windows?  Oh, yeah, so you give up and buy it again in iTunes.  I do like the interface on the iPhone or iPod once things are working properly, however the hoops you jump through are ridiculous.  I want to load music off of my laptop, after having most of my library on another PC, and it won't work without deleting the library off of the phone.  What is the point of authorizing up to 5 computers if you can't use your music from those different machines?  There, I'm getting off of my soap box now.

  • I have a friend who was going to sync her phone with my computer to get the new update..  how do i add her phone with out her losing everything on her phone and not getting all my info on her phone..

    First, create a separate login on your computer for your friend. Do this BEFORE you do anything else. Next, make sure iTunes is up to date. Then:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in iTunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • Why can't I sync my phone with more than one computer to get my music from both computers onto my I phone?

    So I sync my phone on one of my computers and I get the music I want from that computer....then I plug my phone into another computer and I try to get more of my music files from that computer. The problem is: I tunes wants to delete all the previous files that I synced up with my other computer. SOOOO I can not get separate music files off different computers. Why not? These are all my music files....Will I have to find a way to consolidate all of my music onto one computer? Or is there some way I can get all of my files onto my I-phone?

    It sounds like you and your husband are sharing an Apple ID, a version of iTunes on your computer, or both.
    I recommend you share neither your Apple ID nor your version of iTunes.  You can still share music by using Store > Authorize this computer and enter your spouse's information.  But it sounds llike this sharing is the cause of your problem.

    Are you sure that these times are still selected to sync in iTunes?
    When you connect your iPad to your PC and with iTunes running, select your iPad under the devices button in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Then click on the Movies tab and make sure that the movies are selected (checked) to sync. Check the playlists in the Music tab as well.

  • Why can't I use WebCT chat with my computer?  I get the 'spiral of death' every time I try to type in my chat.  I have a feeling it has to do with compatibility issues between Java and Tiger.

  • Why can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7

    why can't i use wifi on my iphone 4s after i downloaded IOS7?
    thankful for answer!

    Well, there are probably dozens of possible answers based on the nature of the problem, so a little more information would be useful.
    Is the WiFi switch greyed out? If so, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Is the problem with only one network? If so, reboot the router by removing all power from it for about 30 seconds. Even if other devices still work on that router (the router and iPhone may have gotten out of sync on the time remaining on the iPhone's IP address lease).
    If the WiFi switch is not greyed out, but the phone doesn't find any networks, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings.
    If that fails, go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset All settings.
    And if the problem is not described in this message please provide more information.

  • I synced my phone to another computer to get the update and when i went to restore it, all my music was earased, but everything else was normal. how do i get my music back?

    i synced my phone to another computer to get the update and when i went to restore it, all my music was earased, but everything else was normal. how do i get my music back?
    I enabled the backup, but when i went to use the backup, the phone recovered everything except the music.

    Of course your music was lost - unless you uncheck sync music, you're syncing with another music library. You'll have to sync your phone with the other/original computer to the music back.

  • Why can't I sync my music with my iPad mini? I am using the latest version of all software available

    I don't understand why I cannot sync any of my songs with my ipad mini through itunes. Please help

    Hello cwill2
    Change one of the options to sync, like check to see if you are Manually managing your music and videos. If you are you can drag and drop the music you want to your iPad mini. If you are not, then check the things that you want synced in the music tab when looking at your iPad mini in iTunes. Either way, change it and sync, then revert the changes and you should be able to get your music on there.
