ITunes failing to sync, and error message 1621
A few days ago, my iTunes, upon noticing my iPod touch plugged in, reported that it had failed to sync do to a "dataclass error". The message said something along the lines of "iTunes was unable to load from dataclass services. try reconnecting." I did just that, unplugging the iPod and plugging it back in. This time, iTunes again failed to sync, saying that it was entirely incapable of interacting with the iPod, suggesting that I restore the thing. Though frustrated, I did that. 2 hours later, the iPod was fully synced from back up, and the problem was seemingly solved.
But now it just happened again, only worse. After telling me to try restoring, and after 5 minutes of iTunes trying to restore the iPod, it finally reported that it was unable to, reporting an "error message 1621, unkown error occured, unable to restore iPod." So, now I can't sync my iPod. Not only is iTunes currently unable to interact with it, it can no longer restore it either.
What's going on? Also, if it helps, this didn't start occuring until after I installed the 2.0 update. I have iTunes v7.7.1.11, and my iPod touch is updated to version 2.02.
i am having the same problem as well. anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?
thanks, ff

I updated to iTunes 12 and didn't like it. Followed advice to revert to 11.1. Now my iPhone 5 won't sync and error message says I need iTunes 11.2 or higher. Apple Download choices didn't have anything between 11.1.5 and 12. What can I do? Using iTunes 12 is not an option. Many features I used for audiobooks have disappeared.
The version immediately prior to 12 was 11.4.0.18. Here are direct download links from Apple's servers:
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?
Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article. -
I have a broken Itunes configuration... It affects several things.
I have an Macbookpro, running snow leopard. It had Itunes 11.4 running on it.
My apple ID for app purchases etc is (lets say .... )[email protected] (This is in the australian store).
I also have an apple ID in the USA Store ([email protected]) but, if push comes to shove, I can "lose it"/
I also have an Apple ID ([email protected]) for icloud stuff.
I had/have an Iphone 5 (IOS 8.1) , and have just received an Iphone 6. (I also have an ipad 3)
So the logical thing to do was to back up the iphone 5 to my macbook pro, and restore to my iphone 6.
Nope - attempts to backup the iphone locally failed - click on the backup button, and it returns instantly and nothing has been backed up.
I note at the same time, that the the "contents of the i-device" bar at the bottom of the itunes screen, that normally says something like "Audio XX GB, Video YY GB, apps nn GB, Other - Just has "Other" and one can get the "size" by hovering over it.
So, this is getting frustrating. - in order to install my Iphone 6, I back up to Icloud (initiated from the phone, because itunes won't. allow it).
Of course, this ***** lots of internet bandwidth,but that's OK, I am on a fairly hefty data plan at home and in the office, But, I have to sign up for 20GB of icloud storage, as 5GB is not enough., but that's OK, your prices are reasonable.
So, that gets over the initial problem.
But, now that my iphone 6 is active - I still can' t copy any of my own music from itunes to it. I can drag items to the phone pulldown, but it doesn't allow me to "sync" - THere are some music items "in the cloud" in my itunes library, (Mainly things that have been flagged as "free" by itunes). The issue with the status bar/audio/video appears to be fixed, but Attempts to download them on the iphone 6, return a message.
This device is already associated with an apple ID if you download past purchases with your apple ID, you cannot autodownload or download past purchases.. .etc.... . (But, I don't really care about them). - But it's not clear what this message means.
I have since done a "local" backup of the new phone...
SO, I thought I could reload my "own music" - re-download the podcasts that I want to keep, and the videos.
Well, even that didn't work - I completely removed Itunes, and reinstalled it, and now I am getting when I try to sync something from itunes,
a message that says "The Iphone "My's Iphone" is synced with another Itunes Library" on MyMacbookPro. Do you want to erase this Iphone and sync with this Itunes Library".
What? As I said, I can probably survive reloading music etc, but I am more concerned about data associated with apps, and contacts, and SMS History and so on.... Will this action obliterate those?? ANd I am equally concerned as to what will happen when I try to Sync my Ipad again...
The major concerns are the "Apps" and associated data, and the ability to Sync locally. (much as I love Icloud - there is a lot that i prefer to keep locally) Is there a set of procedures for resolving this. Both error messages
ideally (or not), perhaps this is the time to consolidate to a single apple ID (for me) - Is there are method for "safely" merging the itunes account(s) of [email protected] and [email protected]?
Help!Tom-
Try restoring your iPod and then syncing. If that doesn't help, take a look at this article:

7.1.1 iTunes Fails to Launch (No Error Message, Pretty Weird)
After downloading iTunes 7.1.1, I installed iTunes. The installation went well and everything was installed. I had no problem with installation.
However, after installing, I tried opening iTunes. However it fails to launch and I don't receive an error message.
When I open the Windows Task Manager and check out the processes, the iTunes.exe appears for 10 seconds and then disappears.
The weird thing is, is that iTunes version 4.0 works perfectly. (I think it's 4.0. It's the one that has the green note. The current versions have the blue note.)
I can open it up and play my music.
I have a Dell Dimension 8200 (It's about 6 years old.) The operation system is Windows XP.
Can someone explain and tell me how to fix this problem, so I can open iTunes 7.1.1.
Thanks.However, after installing, I tried opening iTunes. However it fails to launch and I don't receive an error message.

doublechecking one more thing that can help narrow in on possible culprits with these sorts of symptoms.
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?) -

ITunes help with syncing; many error messages, Help please!
So, I have downloaded and re-downloaded the new iTunes 10.7 about a thousand times. Everytime I try to download, I get the message "rolling back" and then it starts up again and continues to download. Once downloaded, I plug my iPod touch 4th generation in and I get two pop-up messages: the first says "...mobile device is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation or contact your system administration or the software vendor for support." The next message I receive is "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again." What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help? I would greatly appreciate it. I have been at this for about 4 hours and all I want to do is buy the new Red album and listen to it commuting to college.
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Mobile Device Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Mobile Device Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you connect without the errors now? -

Cannot sync. Error message says "sync session failed to start"
I am not able to sync my ipod. The error message "the ipod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" keeps popping up. I have tried both syncing it plugged in and by wifi and the same message appears
Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. Apple has posted a way to fix and you should follow their's first. I finally got to upldate correctly by doing their fix but with one difference. I did the following:
1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replace)
2) Restarted computer and still got error message
3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not specifically put in their fix but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
5) Restarted computer.
6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try. Even updated my ipad to make sure everything was working. -
Since reinstalling itunes i can no longer sync. Error message says already synced with another itunes library. I get a blank sync - no songs, photos ect as it comes up with this error whenever try to select what is to be synced. Help - lost everything. Complete nightmare - Apple sort a fix NOW, but will take any help
