IPhone can't be synced because it can't be found, what's the problem?

I have tried all the options from the other question of this. However, none of them have worked.

The exact message "The Phone "Will's iPhone" can't be synced because it can't be found."

I'm running OSX10.6 Snow Leopard and iTunes is latest edition 11.something.

I have tried:
-restarting and restoring iPhone
-restating laptop, unistalling iTunes, reinstaling, and installing earlier editions.

Samsung Galaxy s3 or iPhone5c?

I'm up for an upgrade and right now the galaxy s3 and the iPhone 5 c are the same price. I had an iPhone 4 before and i thought about switching to Samsung galaxy s4 but its too much money. I honestly don't know what to choose. The 5 c seems like a "dumber version"of the Iphone 5 and the galaxy 3 just seems a lot cooler. What should I get? By the way i'm a high school student and i do use my phone for checking my grades, dictionary, and other things i may need to find for research.

Is The iPhone 4s still good?

How do iPhones automatically have this information?

I've noticed lately that if I give my phone number out to someone who has an iPhone, they are almost instantly aware of my social networking accounts. They find my Facebook account (without even knowing my last name), snapchat, twitter, etc. I myself have an iPhone as well and even I do not know how this happens. Will someone please explain?

IPhone 5: White vs Black vs Gold?

I'm kind of in a tough situation (in my opinion), my dad decided to give me and my mom an early birthday present, so he switched from Sprint to T-Mobile and told us that we would get a NEW iPhone 5 S on Friday (He got a Sony Z). I was so excited, but since iOS 7 is also coming (which I'm in total geek mode over), My dad told me that it had 3 colors, white, black, and gold. I have never owned a Black iPhone, I have always stuck with White, but I was wondering if I should change it up or keep it.

How to take pictures off my iphone without using iphoto?

I have an iphone 4s and I have a mac book pro. Before I had an iphone I used to be able to take pictures and store them into folders on my computer. Now it seems the only way to get photos off my iphone is to use iphoto. I don't have a whole bunch of time to download this and that online to use as a new photo program. All I want to do is be able to take photos off my phone and put them into my own basic folders. What I also found is that if I want to put anything back onto my phone, the files are huge and take up so much space on my phone. Is there any way to get photos off my phone with like a simple drag and drop? Is there any way to change the file size of the photos already in iphoto back to a realistic size?
