Q: I cannot sync my 5S with ITunes.  I can sync my iPad with same cord and computer

I recently sent my 5S through the washing machine and got a replacement 5S.  I am running Windows 7. I was able to "restore" it from iTunes without any issues other than I hadn't back up in a month.  Now when I try to sync with iTunes it gets to step 5 of 5 and I get a "windows message that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down".  I can sync my iPad using the same cord, computer, and program with no issues.  I went through Apple support and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes under their guidance.  I was then transferred to another level of tech support and got cut off.  I have not heard back and have tried to reopen the case without success so I am hoping someone has a way to resolve this issue so I can back up my phone. Thanks
