how many times have you tried it? if it happens repeatedly, your best bet may be to restore it.

remove the USB cable from the PC and reboot the PC. When it's back up, plug the cable into a different USB port, launch iTunes, and then connect the iPhone.
If the iPhone is showing in iTunes, but you still have problems syncing, change the cable out with another one. My dual dock has a bad connection in it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I generally just charge off of it now.

never had trouble syncing until a few days ago. i tried a new port, a new cable, i even uninstalled and reinstalled but every time i go to sync it just gets hung up.... someone please help

found this on another forum i pasted it below,and it works. just disable your internet connection and it will sync.

I believe that the when the iPhone syncs, a process called MDCrashReportToo grabs a list of crash logs off your iPhone and attempts to send them to the Apple Servers at HQ. I believe that these servers were offline this afternoon, and that meant MDCrashReportToo couldn't proceed correctly. Thus, disabling your connection to the net meant that MDCrashReportToo never tried to contact Apple HQ in the first place. The servers now seem to be online and all syncing problems have been fixed.

I have the same problem but what I have done is disabled automatic sync, and then if I have new music to sync, unchecked the 'sync music' option, and applied, and then checked it again to sync all new things. I apply this to anything new such as contacts, bookmarks etc.

Also, could this problem be anything due to the recent security update?

Thanks nygemini thats sorted it now

But I still have to disable airport before I can sync, does anyone know when this will be fixed? Possibly, when the next update is available?

Man, you want to talk about almost having a complete meltdown. I was going crazy wondering what I installed that made my iPhone not want to update. Just had to turn off Airport and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the info....wew!

lol well my dad was going crazy at me; saying that I had been on a dodgy website when he'd told me not to go on porn on it lmao (I hadn't)

So it was great to tell him that it was Apple's fault lol
