Everytime my new 4S connects to iTunes, inlcuding over Wi-Fi, iTunes makes me register the phone (or click on Register Later). This is getting annoying. I have registered the thine a dozen times and nothing seems to stick. What do I do? I can't register it online on the Apple website because it doesn't even list the 4S as a product.
iPhone 4, iOS 5
Ditto.
Same. It also makes my computer lag while waiting for the devices to communicate.
My 4S ios 5.0 is asking to register every connect as well on my macbook 10.7.2 with itunes 10.5 (all latest stable).
Very annoying. Does apple even reply to these threads acknowledging the problem?
Same problem here!
same. this started hapening after i took my wifes iPhone in to get replaced, and after that, the first time and every time since, it has asked me to register... no bueno!

No, this is a user forum.
I just got off the phone with Apple as I had the same issue. Apparently, the phone has a file that was not accepting the edit that itunes was sending it, causing it to always want to register. The 'fix' was as follows:
- create new user (test user) in users and groups
- log off main account
- log in with test user
- open itunes
- identify the device, register later or never (do not register)
(the device was there, with all proper info....)
- Go through all the tabs to ensure that all boxes are UNCHECKED for sync.
- Then sync the device (empty sync)
- eject the iphone 4s from itunes
- close/reopen itunes, and then reconnect iphone 4s.
Once I did this, it did not ask me to register again. Log off test user, and log in with main account, and retry. Worked for me.
Thanks zammaster, worked for me too
Thanks for sharing zammaster, this was really annoying. The process described above also works with iOS6 on iPhone5. I did have to skip registration/sync/restart three or four times before I got the option to "never register". After that, one more empty sync did the trick.
iTunes keeps asking me to register my iPhone
