iTunes ver 11.2.1 hangs when connecting to iPhone

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages

from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

View ▹ Show Log List

from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

I have the same problem. Here is my dump of the same data you asked. My OS (Mavericks) and apps are all on the current version:

Exactly the same thing for me - except I have an iPhone 5. I opened a case with Apple (in Germany) and let you know if they find a solution. However this seems to be a bigger issue...

Thanks, Simon and Linc! This worked perfectly well for me!

HI Simon. Thank you very much. This works perfect. I can sync again. 🙂

Terrific solution! This worked for me even without the restart. Just putting the "Local" file from the folder into the trash was enough to get sync to work again! Thank you SOOO much!

🙂

worked for me too. thanks

It worked for me too!

I had iTunes 11.2.2

Thanks for posting thr fix
