I've had this problem before and was fixed, but not sure when and how. This window appeared this morning as I always connect my phone to my iMac. I manually tried to sync but this window appeared again. The iPhone "x" cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.
iPhone 5s, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), downloaded iOS 7.0.2
I had this problem this morning, too. I checked out the discussions and they recommended changing the USB port, but that didn't work. I tried rebooting the phone but that didn't work. I rebooted the computer (I had to force quit iTunes because it was hung up) and everything synced just fine.

Thank You! It worked!!!
Likewise...of cousre the trusty restart...thanks.
Just wanted to add to the conversation what worked for me. I was too lazy to do a reboot unless necessary, but since Marryin' Man mentioned he had to force quit iTunes to reboot I thought that might be the problem. So I tried just restarting iTunes. Sure enough, I had to force quit to get it to close completely. I started it right back up, and now I can sync. Yay!! Now if only I could remember this next time it happens, because I know this is not the first time I've googled this issue!
All, I was able to get it to work with a regular quit on iTunes and restart the app. But I had to cancel out the warning dialog about 5 times.
I was also having this issue. After reading the above posts I realized that iTunes is being opened when I plug my phone in with the USB cable. I closed iTunes and opened it with the desktop shortcut. WHALAA!! It opened, connected my phone and synced all on it's own. I believe the issue, for me at least, is how iTunes is openeing when the phone is connected.
Thank you! That worked, simply & fast. Now, has anyone found that when using Microsoft Word, or even when it is just open, and you swipe to the dashboard, say to look up something in the dictionary, the dashboard swings/swipes back, so that you have to swipe again, and hope it stays in place? Sometimes, it waits until I put the cursor on the dictionary and then it swipes in reverse; it functions after a few swipe battles. This has been occurring on any of the MacBooks I have been using since around 2008––I am not in favor of using alternative methods to avoid what should be working properly.
I got this problem tonight. I just unplugged my phone, rebooted it and plugged it back in. It synced fine after.
did u reboot your iphone or the computer?
Had the same problem, tried so many things. It only got fixed after restarting both my Mac and iPhone several times.
