iTunes sync issue with iPhone
As of late, my iphone and iTunes will never complete sync. No changes has been made with iTunes nor iOS update. I tried to plug the usb cable to a differnt usb port, but still to no avail. I am not able to update iOS and iTunes as I have the latest version already.
All it does when i try to sync is stay stuck at step 3 and never complete the sync. Anything I can do to resolve this?

Tried all the steps above in an orderly fashion as you suggested, but still to no avail.
That always works for me / clients. Is it possible to see if someone near you has the same setup and it works?

Resolved the issue by re-installing Outlook.
1. Update iTunes, then update IOS, then restart both devices and try syncing again.
2. Look in Action Center or Security/Maintenance for Reliability History. Run this. Any iTunes or Outlook errors related to Apple / iTunes?
