IPhone won't sync when plugged in...

After upgrading to iTunes 9, my iPhone won't sync when I plug it it in. When I connect it, iTunes opens automatically and the phone/application will say it's syncing, but then after a couple of seconds it just stops and nothing has changed on the phone or my music library. I ran the syncing diagnostics test and it didn't detect any errors... Here's the message I got from it:

Any ideas what could be going on and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance for any help!

We have 2 iPhones and two computers, one Mac and a PC. We recently downloaded iTunes v9 and now iTunes cannot “see” either of our phones on either computer. I have contacted Apple by phone and spent over an hour trying to resolve this connection problem. The Apple rep suggested that the issue might be in the “dock” and recommended I take the phones to iPnone supplier. Incidentally I can charge the phones using the “dock” which suggests that the “dock” is not the issue.
The iPhone supplier connected one one phone to his Mac computer and it immediately connected to and “saw” the phone. Interestingly, the supplier was only running iTunes v8. The supplier suggested there was a “patch” for iPhone to operate with itunes v9. Is this correct and if so how do I get it.
So my problem is that I cannot ever get to the stage of "syncing".
I have also noted on several “chat” sites people have had problems with iPhone and iTunes v9 connectivity.
Help!!!! please!!!

I have restarted the computer, the IPHONE 4, I have checked for updates, and Have reinstalled Itunes. The Iphone plugged into the usb makes the noise that its charging but nothing else. It does not sync and ITUNES does not recognize its plugged in.
Please Assist.

IPhone won't sync when any account is logged in iTunes

As the title states, after I restored my iPhone 3G 8gb because it wouldn't sync with my computer I finally narrowed down the problem after many hours of troubleshooting to an account being logged into iTunes when the iPhone is trying to sync.
My Desktop is running Windows Vista x64, the iPhone doesn't have any problems connecting to my Macbook Pro regardless if an account is logged into iTunes or not.
Is there anyway to fix this?
edit: Seems like Kaspersky also prevents my iTunes from detecting my iPhone

HT1688 What is "Apple Mobile Device" and how do I get it on my iphone 5? My iphone is not syncing when plugged in. The message says I have not started the device.

What is "Apple Mobile Device" and is it loaded/activated on the iphone 5?

I suspect you mean that you are getting the iTunes error message that the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started, in which case you need to follow the steps show in item #4 at the bottom of this article to restart it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

Can anyone offer suggestions?
Thanks!

Since it told me to update, I updated to 10.7.
Then when I plugged in the phone again, it gave the same message that I need to update itunes.

Why doesn't my iPhone 3gs always sync when I plug it in to my PC? I just updated everything yesterday!

My 3gs iPhone does not always sync when plugged into my computer. I just updated everything yesterday, and it still won't sync with iTunes. Doesn't even show up as plugged into the computer.

Check the USB adaptor. I have a funky USB port that doesn't work well with all cables. Jiggle it a bit and/or try another port on the computer.

My iPhone won't sync to my iTunes because it says my computer is not authorized. When i do authorize it, it claims to already be authorized. When i re-sync my phone it says it is unauthorized. Any help?

Hello katey1717
If you are getting the repeated prompts of asking to authorize your Apple ID, then check out the article below to resolve the issue. Make sure that you go through and remove the SC Info folder and try to authorizer again as that resolved it for me when I had that issue.

Have you tried a Reset of the phone...
Disconnect it fron your Computer and try this...
You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
Now, Reconnect to iTunes...

My iPhone won't sync and it says that I have to go back to the factory settings. But when I try to do that, I don't remember the password to be able to reset. What do I do?

IPhone won't sync after installing Leopard

Hi,
This weekend I updated my Mac Mini's system to 10.5.5 from 10.4.11 and I discovered that my iPhone won't sync now. I do get the little bleep sound when I plug it in and it will charge, but it won't sync. I have tried rebooting both the Mac Mini and the iPhone, but to no avail. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks much,
David

1) Try re-installing iTunes
2) Try removing and reinstalling AMDS: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

My iPad2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet.

My iPad 2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet. I've tried 12W and 10W original Apple iPad chargers as well as iPhone 4 chargers. It charges (very slowly) when I plug it into my laptop but I've tried every outlet in my house and at work with no success. So I am stumped as to why it won't work in two completely different locations when plugged into the outlet - because it's obviously not the charger, cable or the iPad batter.
I've tried blowing out dust from the port, resetting my iPad (holding down the home and power buttons at the same time) and jiggling the cable.
Note: I am still on iOS 6 so upgrading my OS isn't the issue.
I would appreciate any assistance with this as it's very frustrating!

If it will charge when connected to the computer, but very slowly, typical of a low power USB port, but will not charge with the chargers you have tried, the issue is then most likely with the chargers. However, to be sure, take the iPad and charger and cable to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test them to see where the problem is occuring.
