Having Problems Sycn'ing your iPhone for Win 7 Users? - Solution

Question

Here's something that absolutely worked for me for my iPhone 4S:
Start iTunes with iPhone or device not plugged in.
Go to Settings on iPhone
Turn off Wi-Fi
Turn on Airplane Mode
Exit Settings
Plug iPhone into computer
Wait a couple moments for iTunes to see iPhone
Proceed to Sync iTunes to iPhone.
Looks like most if not all the posts were removed about people complaining about their iPhones not syncing after the most recent update to iTunes 10.7.x with iOS6 on iPhone 4's and 4S's and maybe even a few on 5's. I own a 4S so that's the only one I was having issues with. I did rant a little and I appologize Apple for that, frustration set in heavily. Especially since I needed my iBooks for some college credits I'm taking.
The Backup scared me, but it went straight through, then step 8 of 8 also scared me because this is were the songs would force iTunes to TimeOut. During my ordeal over the past week the Backup process would take longer than I could spare it to, I even left it going overnight one night. But if by chance it got past the Backup process then it would freeze up on step 8 of 8. What's weird though is that it worked after the upgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.0 without any issues, and it even sync'd a couple times also without issues, then it started acting up.
During my thumbing through other people's issues, I believe the issue stemmed from the wi-fi section of the program. Though I'm not 100% sure, however the above steps from 1-8 did work, not only once, but I've resync'd it three times now, with including removing iPhone from program.
So hopefully someone will see this.
And I hope Apple leaves it in place for a short while anyway.
Thanks for everything and Happy Mac'n to All.
