Hey Everyone,
I just got a new laptop and moved over my iTunes library from my old computer. After I did this I plugged my iPhone in and it started syncing as normal, backed up fine. Then later on in the day I went to plug my iPhone in and it told me that I needed to set up as new or restore from backup. I tried multiple computers (I have the same library on 3 computers) and they all told me the same thing. I then tried to restore from backup and it said it failed because the backup didn't save correctly or something. I then had to try to restore as new. I tried once and then once it finished it gave me an internal device error and then the iPhone wouldn't turn on. Then I put the iPhone in DFU mode and restored again and all seems to be working fine again.

However, I now have everything put back on my iPhone and when I click the eject button next to the iPhone a window pops up saying "syncing iPhone"", it will stay there forever unless I go into McAfee and disable my firewall. As soon as I disable my firewall, the window goes away and lets me unplug my iPhone. I was wondering if anyone knows what could be causing a problem such as this?

I had a plug-in that I was using for my multimedia keyboard keys to work with iTunes while minimized and I wasn't sure if this could be causing it so I removed it. Could this be causing an issue like this?

Someone please help, I have never had any trouble like this using my other laptop with McAfee installed.
