ITunes sync with Windows 8?

Question

I have recently installed Windows 8 Dev Preview.
I would like to know if anyone else is in the same situation and knows a solution?
When I connect my iPhone to iTunes doesn't see it in the list of devices, however I did get the same prompt to install Apple USB Device Drivers and that was succesful.

Answer 1

For me, in Windows 8, it has often not been enough to only stop/start Apple Mobile Device, iTunes would sometimes still startup in an 'idle' state, not recognizing the phone. I use some very simple Windows PowerShell scripting, saved in a filed:
# Restart iTunes services
Restart-Service -name "iPod Service"
Restart-Service -name "Bonjour Service"
Restart-Service -name "Apple Mobile Device"
...save as a .ps1-file and you're done. Of course, you'd further adapt the script file to fit your specific iPhone and iTunes-needs. Also, in my case, the running of local PowerShell-scripts was disabled in Windows 8, so I set:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
I believe an earlier version of PowerShell is also installed by default on Windows 7, so any simpler scripting would most likely be compatible.
