The only way to sync a Windows Phone on Windows is through Zune. Zune should automatically import your DRM-free iTunes library when you first install it, so you don't have to re-add your files or anything.

I believe you mean that photos you manually add to contacts stored in your Live account are not shown in your contacts online?
What you need to do first is make sure that the photos are associated with the contact entry on the Live account that you are looking at online. If the photo is associated with a contact stored in, for instance, Google, while it ...

I am also affected from this bug (I suppose it's something Canonical would have to investigate) on my Lumia 1020 using Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1. What I figured out is that when you remove the USB Cable that you use to connect your phone to your computer, after of course "safely ejecting" the device from Ubuntu, and re-plug it in, it will recognize all ...

Album art that is correctly included in the files will be displayed on the device. If you're using MP3 files, be aware that MP3 have two different metadata formats (ID3), and Windows (and Windows Phone) only supports album art in one of them.

No, there is no way to view your Text Messages (SMS) online.
Windows Phone 8 does backup your text messages (SMS and MMS), if the feature is enabled, but the backup is now viewable - it's safely stored somewhere in the cloud.

The root cause of this issue has to do with the digital certificates the phone and Windows PC share. It can happen when trying to use more than one computer and not setting the sync relationship to guest on one of them.

To sync contacts and calendars you may use some service like Google Mail/Calendar.
I don't know any "offline" sync option to sync directly.

Another option would be using an Exchange server (your own or a hosted one).
