Since updating to ios 7.1.2, phone won't sync with itunes

I'm using a macbook pro with mavericks as well as the latest version of itunes (11.2.2). I had some minor issues with my iphone 4s and was told by a guy at the apple store to update to ios 7.1.2 (from ios 7), and since this whenever I try to sync (via usb cable) it gets stuck at 'waiting for items to copy'/'waiting for changes to be applied'. Cancelling the sync causes itunes to freak out and I end up having to turn everything off and on again to no avail, with no new items being copied to my phone at all.
Is there anything I can do at all? Would it just be simpler for me to somehow undo the update to ios 7.1.2?

Please provide more information about your setup: iTunes on Windows or Mac? What version of iTunes?
When you say you "can't sync" do you mean the iPad doesn't appear in iTunes when you connect it or does it appear but give some error when you attempt the sync operation?
If it gives you an error message when syncing, what does it say?
If the iPad doesn't even appear in iTunes and you are using iTunes on Windows then read iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If that doesn't work and the iPad still doesn't appear then try iTunes: How to reset the Lockdown folder.

My phone won't sync with itunes

I plug my phone into itunes and it disconnects within seconds. I am trying to do the software update because all my apps crashed and I lost all my songs on the ipod feature. What should I do. I restarted the phone and the computer to no avail.

I just don't get it. It says it is plugged in to itunes and that it is backing up the phone before the upgrade but the phone does not say syncing. What do I trust. Do i disrupt the itune hoping it is speaking with the phone. Of course I am on hold to apple. Probably spend about 3 hrs waiting for anyone.

Songs on phone won't sync with iTunes

I have an iPhone 5S running iOS 8. I also have OSX Yosemite and the latest version of iTunes installed.
In order to free up space on my phone, I decided to uncheck the "Music" box before performing a sync. Regardless, when I checked on my phone there was still almost 100 songs on there. After checking that those songs are all stored on my Mac via iTunes, it appears that the only way to remove them from my phone is to delete them all manually? Or am I missing something obvious?...

For transfer purchases to work both the library and the device should be signed into the same account, and the purchases must have been bought with that account. Futher there must not be any entries for those items already in the library. If needs be, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. If you cannot get transfer purchases to work you should be able to recover the items from iTunes in the Cloud, or transfer using some other tool.

Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes.

My iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes
I am running iTunes 11.1.5.5, and my phone is using iOS 7.1
Windows 8 recognizes that the phone is connected, and even asks if I would like to download pictures, however iTunes will not.
So far, I have stopped and restarted AMDS, iTunes, my laptop, and the iphone. None of these have had any success. I've tried using a different cable, but the results were the same. The phone can download songs via its own iTunes app, but cannot sync with iTunes on the laptop.
How can I get my phone to start syncing with iTunes again? This problem occurs sparatically, sometimes syncing and sometimes ignoring the phone altogether, like it is now.

Does your Mac meet the requirements for the latest version of iTunes?
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
In the future, you're more likely to get faster, more appropriate responses by posting to the correct forum. The iPhone Hardware forum is not the correct place to be posting issues regarding iTunes on your Mac.

IPhone won't sync with iTunes. Help?

iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It just says, "waiting for sync to start." But no matter how long I leave it like that, it never syncs. Wirelessly or via USB. I have restarted both my computer and my phone. I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes. I have installed the latest version of iTunes and the software on my phone is up to date. Nothing seems to work.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

I found this on another thread --
Keep your iphone connected. Quit iTunes. Reopen iTunes. Sync begins automatically. It worked for me and several others who had already followed the advice.
So easy.

IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4

iPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4.
This iPod was synced with another iTunes library. I had to transfer iTunes library from another laptop.
Launch iTunes (12.1.1.4), plug in Nano, Nano display says connected, Nano appears in iTunes, but when I attempt to navigate to Nano nothing occurs, or if I am able to navigate to Nano then I can't go any further and select music to sync and the Nano comes out of connected state. I have had to close iTunes, sometimes reboot laptop, but nothing I do appears to make any difference. It won't allow me to continue music selection process and start the sync process. Is there a way to simply reset the Nano and reconnect to get it to sync? I don't care about content as it needs to be resynced with this iteration of iTunes because it is currently associated with the other iTunes library.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What solved my problem:
I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.
Additional details:
I first took the iPod to the local Apple Store, where the only course of action they could offer was to restore the iPod. So they did. When I got home, it wouldn't even connect to iTunes on my PC, which was a regression from the day before. Out of desperation I plugged it into my wife's PC, and her older version of iTunes immediately told me the iPod had been formatted on a Mac and it needed to be restored on a PC to be usable by a Windows machine. Why my newer version of iTunes couldn't tell me that is a mystery.

It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

iphone 4 version 5.0 (9A334) won't sync with itunes 10.5 (141)....
this message keeps popping up when I try to sync my iphone
"could not be synced because the sync server failed to sync the iphone"
anyone have this kind of problem?
googled it, and it's so confusing @.@

There is definitely a problem with iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5.0 syncing correctly. I've seen lots of workarounds on the forums here. Just search for it and see if you can come up with something that works.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?
