Problems with wired iPhone connection after iOS 6 upgrade

I'm having a problem with my wired iPod connection with my iPhone 4S since updating it to iOS 6. The command display/control only sees podcasts and not any of the music. anyone else have this problem? Any possible solutions. I'm able to listen using bluetooth audio, but I like being able to control playlists, etc. thru the comand system.

Thanks -slategray

I'm having the exact problem after the latest IOS 6+ update. Even after a freshly restarted phone, all I get is "Activating Device" ... it eventually hooks up and I see playlists and my contacts, but not until I get to work

I think the problem is actually with Itunes Match, when I changed my settings to make sure that the music was actually on my iPhone and not just streamed, it fixed the problem. Hope that helps.
