iTunes 11.1.4.62 Hangs on Sync Step 2
After upgrading to the newest iTunes version, my iPad hangs on step 2 (preparing to sync ... sometimes step 3, syncing email -- which is odd since I don't have email hooked up to my iPad).
Have tried all of the basic troubleshooting steps -- restarting, rebooting. As a last ditch I tried a factory reset. Big mistake since now I can't resync anything -- movies, music, apps. Basically dead in the water (which is normal. It seems like ever second or third update kills a phone or two).
The other thing I noticed is that even though I have iTunes set up to avoid automatically syncing. IT does so anyway. So, there's no way to have the iPad hooked up to iTunes without it bogging down in an endless sync.
iPad 2, iOS 7.0.4, Windows 7
