In addition to the unresponsive / incorrect response of my home button (doesn't work a lot, and sometimes when it does it brings up multitasking after one press) I have been having an issue with iTunes for some time now.
Basically I come across a frequent problem over and over no matter what I have tried. When connecting my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes will randomly after a week or so:
Well, I have done that already multiple times starting from scratch; not even bothering with restoring from a backup. Error still eventually comes again randomly.
I have tried the steps of completely uninstalling iTunes, drivers, and everything associated with Apple and reinstalling. Problem continues.
At a point I decided I'm sick of losing SMS messages and things that I really need to keep on my phone and decided to just not sync anymore (very annoying).
Recently I downloaded the beta iTunes and installed the iOS 5 GM firmware that was leaked. Hoping that this would resolve at LEAST this problem (and hoping the home button issue as I've seen many posts on it before happening after a update) neither have ceased.
I'm really at a lost with what I have left to do. Anyone have any additional suggestions? Would greatly appreciate it. Nearest Apple store is about 1.5 hrs away, but I'll make the trip if needed.
I really think it has something to do with the device itself. I have tried different USB ports, different cables, and even different computers and no go.
Thanks in advance fellas, really needing some input!

iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings.
