I'm not entirely sure when this started, but I finally had time to attempt to diagnose it this morning. when I plug my iPhone 7 into my PC to charge/sync, iTunes will come up, then hang at the syncing process for several minutes. Sometimes the sync will finish, other times it will insist the sync couldn't finish for reasons known only to iTunes (the only error I get is the sync session failed to finish). It *looks* like all my apps and everything are there, but of course given how unreliable it's been I may be missing something and haven't the slightest idea. Very probably related to this, I have iTunes backing up my phone when it syncs. I find it more reliable doing that than allowing iCloud, given that iCloud has been known to neglect to give me back some of my data. iTunes looks like it's successfully backing up my phone, and the backups even appear in the backup folder as they should, but iTunes insists my phone has never been backed up. I've already reinstalled (well, actually, updated) iTunes, and am now running latest 12.5. I'm running latest stable iOS on this phone. I've moved my backup folder to an alternate location, deleted the original, and allowed iTunes to recreate it. Still having the same issue. On top of that, iTunes hangs for several minutes when I bring up device preferences. I can do pretty much anything else I please, but as soon as I go into device preferences, instant hang. It corrects itself and I can be on my way, but that tells me we've got problems. I've hit a wall, so other than spending 500 years on hold with Apple I'm hoping someone's got an idea I haven't yet tried. If you do, that's awesome. If you don't, well, I didn't have plans this weekend anyway.
