It is best when you upgrade the Apple devices and iTunes to plug your device in to the USB after the upgrade.

Apple is wanting to make sure that the computer and device are the only ones that can grab your data.

This prevents someone from plugging in another device and grabbing data from your computer or someone plugging in your phone to a different computer and grabbing the data from the phone.

You only need to plug in after the initial upgrade. After that sync you can do it wireless.
