Q: iTunes freezes and crashes when I sync my iPhone5

Help! iTunes freezes and crashes every time I try to sync my iPhone 5. Sometimes it freezes at the start of the sync. Sometimes it successfully backs up the phone and freezes at a later step.

Also, after I connect the phone but before I click on sync, if I click on the Apps tab in iTunes, the program also freezes and crashes.

The same iTunes program (v.11.3.1) on the same desktop computer works just fine when my wife syncs her iPhone 4.

What can I do about this? I'd really appreciate advice.

iPhone 5, Windows 7
