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:

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!!!

Aghhhh! I tried restoring the phone, and it deleted everything on it and now it won't put it back on! My iPhone has lost about 80% of its usefulness. At least now it gives me an error message when I try to sync it...

Does anyone have any idea at all what is going on? Please? The "geniuses" at the local Apple Store have a waiting list of like five days, and I really don't want to have to wait that long to listen to my music.

I moved some stuff from my library onto my external hard drive and put it on my old computer, and when I plugged my iPhone into that computer it's syncing just fine (only it's taking forever, since iTunes deleted several GB worth of stuff). That computer has an older version of iTunes (8.0.23). That must mean the problem lies with iTunes 9 and not my phone.

I think this is an I-Tunes 9 bug. I'd go back to an older version of I -tunes and they are available, and see what happens. I had similar problems as my virus program thought i tunes was a bug and everything went in the toliet, Finally when I turned off my firewall (temporarily) it worked fine, the supposedly fixed that bug. Look around on all the posts and when you see alot of similar problem such as what is happening with Win 7 right now, you can usually find a solution.
