Q: iTunes Sync Error with iPhone
While sync'ing my iPhone 4S (iOS 7.0.4) with iTunes (11.1.4.62) running on Windows 7, it gets to Step 3 of 6, and pop up an error that reads "Unable to load SyncUICoreLocalized.dll". Tried repairing, and uninstalling/re-installing both iTunes and iCloud.
Any help would be great.

Ever since I installed the latest iTunes update, I've had a variety of problems. My iPhone actually lost all sound. I couldn't hear calls coming in, couldn't make calls going out, no reminders, text notifications, etc. So, I got my replacement phone yesterday only to find that iTunes no longer recognized my attached phone. I had to get tech support to help before I could back up my old phone and transfer data to my replacement. An essential driver had been corrupted. That got fixed, but then I couldn't sync. After nearly 6 hours, tech support still hadn't solved the problem - not for lack of trying. Anyway, I tried to sync again this morning and got the "Resource not found: Unable to load SyncUICoreLocalized.dll" message." I then happened to check in this forum and followed the lead from the post above.
I have an iPhone 4S and Windows 8 and use Outlook 2013. Here's what worked for me.
- Close iTunes
- Close Outlook
- Open Control Panel/Programs
- Right click on "Apple Mobile Device Support"
- Select "Repair"
- Wait a few moments ("Repair" doesn't show any indications of status, so I just wanted to be sure it was done.)
- Open iTunes
- Resync (I selected to replace my phone Contacts/Calendar from my Outlook, but that may not be necessary.)
Instead of Sync hanging for hours like it did yesterday, Sync took less than 10 seconds total. I didn't even have to reboot. YAY!
