I'm having this issue on the following computers and devices:
- 2011 15" MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with these devices: an iPad 2 running 7.0.3 and a 4G iPod Touch running 6.1.3.
- 2010 13" MacBook Pro running Lion with a 3G iPod Touch running 5.1.1.
The problem started when I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2. So, at least for me the culprit seems to be iTunes.

Same thing has been happening to me after updating both iTunes and my iPhone today... keeps getting stuck at "Finishing Sync." I managed to fix it though... when it's stuck on "Finishing Sync", find your device in iTunes (if you have the preview pane open on the left side, you'll see it under 'devices'). Then click the 'Sync" button on the bottom right. It'll do a sync to your device again, but it won't hang on the last step anymore (at least it didn't for me). I hope that helps anyone else with the same problem!
Thanks! That fixed it.
