Last week, we received comments from Intel regarding an iPhone sync glitch with certain PCs that use a new Intel P55 chipset and Windows 7 64-bit.

On Friday, motherboard manufacturer Gigabyte Technology, a popular motherboard maker for PC hobbyists, issued a BIOS update that resolves the problem for some of these users who haven't been able to sync their iPhones. The BIOS, listed as a beta version, promises to resolve iPhone sync issues and includes additional bug fixes and enhancements.

This fix will help you only if you're using a computer you've built yourself or purchased with one of Gigabyte's motherboards inside. If that isn't you, you'll have to wait for a fix from either Intel, Apple, or your motherboard manufacturer. If you don't feel like waiting, you might try a number of possible solutions offered on Apple's Discussions forum.

Many iPhone users continue to struggle with this problem. It would be nice if someone could turn-up the heat on HP. I have a new HP dv7-3085dx computer running Windows 7 64-bit and the Intel i7 Q720 processor. This computer won't sync properly with the iPhone. There are tons of messages on HP's discussion boards from other users who still have this iPhone sync problem. HP has not acknowledged that the problem exists, and no timetable has been released for a update to the BIOs for their computers impacted by this problem. My computer has a HP BIOS F.04 9/10/2009. It has the Intel 5 Series /3400 Series Chipset.
