What can cause an iPhone 4 to not syncingactually sync data when connected, not syncing wirelesslytold to sync?

My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) has stopped syncing wirelessly (with my Mac) over the course of the past few weeks. When I connect it via the cable, iPhoto pops up and I can get the photos off, but it doesn't start syncing the music / apps automatically. I have to hit the "sync" button, and even then, it doesn't appear to be pulling the "last played" data off the phone.

The checkbox for "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked, as is "Sync this iPhone wirelessly", and the "Sync Music" stuff... I haven't done anything over there. I've restarted the iPhone several times, did a restore after 6.0.1 came out, and am considering reinstalling iTunes on the Mac (though I'm not even sure that's easy or possible).

Sound like anything you've heard ofWhat might be stopping the sync from being effective? Let me know.
