iTunes shows "waiting for changes to be applied" when trying to sync iPhone new install on Windows7

Got new laptop with Windows 7. I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5.3.3. Sync completed successfully on first day. On second day, sync is not completing. I see these messages flash rather quickly:

  • Waiting for sync to start.
  • Preparing to sync.
  • Waiting for changes to be applied.


I found a discussion that said restoring the factory settings would resolve it. I performed the restore but the sync is still not completing. Help!

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1, iTunes 10.5.3.3. installed on Win7.

Had to perform restore and set up as new device to resolve the issue.
