Sync Problem Post-iOS5 Update

I use an iMac, have an iPad 2. I just updated to iOS5. The update appeared to go smoothly. I attempted a wi-fi sync with iTunes and my iPad couldn't locate my computer. I plugged in the iPad via USB to my Mac and iTunes recognized my iPad.
iTunes shows "waiting to sync" message in the window and it stays like that until a message appears, "The iPad could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
I've never seen this message before. New problem. I restarted both machines. Same result.
I don't know if this is an iPad issue or iTunes issue. I put this in the iPad forum because my iPods sync without trouble and my iPad did sync without trouble before the update to iOS5.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Well, I use Onyx to help wrangle my Macs' operations. It's a great way to optimize performance. I executed all maintenance scripts and clean all caches. I just let Onyx do run everything it could having to do with automation. That seems to have worked. I can now sync both via USB and Wi-Fi. I don't know what was causing the problem, but running Onyx and then restarting did the trick.
Now if I can figure out how to get iCloud to sync my contacts to my iPad, I'd be very happy.

3gs syncing problem after itunes update to itunes 7

When syncing my 3gs with updated itunes7, will not complete sync because"session could not be started" and "connection could not be established". Ran diagnostic and all seemed fine.

Problem solved after upgrading to IOS6!

Sync problems with iOS5. "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."

Hi,
I have updated my iPhone 3GS 32GB to iOS5 and iTunes to version 10.5.
All music, videos and ringtones purchased were deleted on the device and now it is impossible at all to sync the iPhone with the computer, both by USB and Wi Fi.
It always appears at step 5 of the syncronization the message:
"The iPhone “iPhone” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
Has anyone experienced the same problem and has found the solution or we have to wait a bug fix from Apple?
Thanks.

Just made one very simple move without having to restore iPhone or reinstall iTunes..
1st step:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 *Read 'in my case' in here first before following this link*
Follow that link to restart (or if necessary) reinstall your Apple mobile device support.
In my case, Leave iPhone connected all the way. I first exit iTunes. Then i stopped the Apple Mobile device support (by following a part on that link above in step 1) which Effectively made my iPhone undetectable on itunes but discoverable by windows as a 'camera device'. Then while device is still connected, i started the Apple mobile dev support again. Now i open itunes and there my iPhone re-appears.
2nd step: After your iphone re-appears on iTunes, press Sync and all is well...
P.S, Mine is iPhone 4 running on iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, Windows 7..

Problem with IOS5 update in itunes.

Hello, I have Itunes on Windows XP.
I have to do the update, ios5 on my 16gb iphone 4.
My big problem is that iTunes is installed on my laptop and my hard drive is only 80GB and is partitioned into 20GB and 60GB, 20GB being the primary partition on which is the operating system, or I do not have more than 800MB of free space.
My questions is: How can I do to install itunes on another partition or save to another drive?
Because itunes can not back up my iphone to the views of the open space.
I do not want to lose it is on my PC or on my iphone.
Thank you in advance
Sebastien from Paris.
Bonjour, j'ai Itunes sur windows Xp.
Je dois faire la mise a jour, ios5 sur mon iphone 4 16go.
Mon gros probleme c'est que itunes est installé sur mon ordinateur portable et que mon disque dur ne fait que 80go et qu'il est partitioné en 20go et 60go, 20go etant la partition principale sur laquelle se trouve le systeme d'exploitation, or je ne dispose plus que de 800mo d'espace libre.
Ma question est : Comment puis-je faire pour installer itunes sur une autre partition ou bien sauvegarder sur un autre disque ?
Car itunes ne peut effectuer la sauvegarde de mon iphone aux vues de l'espace libre.
Je ne veux ni perdre se qu'il se trouve sur mon PC ni sur mon iphone.
Merci d'avance
Sebastien de Paris.

hi Vince!

Winmail.dat : problems after iOS5 update...

Folks... After updating to iOS5, I am finding that any JPG or pasted picture sent to me in e-mail does NOT appear on my iPhone4. It is NOT simply a Microsoft problem, as is always stated.
If I start a mail (HTML) in Outlook, and paste an Image, and send it to my iPhone's Comcast Account, I get the winmail.dat attachment
If I start a mail (HTML) in Outlook, and paste and Image, and send it to my iPhone's Gmail account, it is read just fine and the image appears. I have also copied my Comcast account, just to ensure the same mail.... and get the same winmail.dat result with my comcast account.
If I look at my Comcast mail account, in Outlook (Desktop), and online --- the same image is received fine and the image appears. The only place is does NOT appear is on the phone.
This seems to have something to do with how the iPhone interprets mail FROM Outlook. There has HAD to have been a change in how this works, because it used to work just fine.
Someone at Apple: I would appreciate a response on this. It is very frustrating, and all signs are that it is an iOS5 thing.
thanks
Brandon

I did a little more searching, and found this solution on another Apple forum. It worked beautifully. It makes no sense, but who cares? It was easy and effective.
Hope it helps!
Yes, I did try that.
However I have now found the answer:
http://galaxycow.com/blogs/vermyndax/2008/01/12/winmaildat-hides-in-your-autocom plete/
Once the entry for my home address was removed from the Autocomplete drop down list, everything went back to normal.

Contacts problem after IOS5 update.

Anybody here having problems with their contacts? After updating to IOS5 I can no longer edit my contacts. The " + " icon that appears at the upper right corner of the screen before is now missing. Anyone here having a similar problem?

I just found the solution (from other forumers) & it works.
- go to Settings,
- then to iCloud, and
- make sure contacts is checked!

Problems with iOS5 update

I have just updated my iPhone4 to the new iOS5 and am having major problems that I can't seem to find a way to fix. On my itunes it now shows my phone as being over capacity by 15.7gb, have tried a number of things and still not fixed. Also when the sysnc was done after the update it would seem that all my music has gone south with it. It appears in the itunes window but the phone syas no music is found.
This is all very concerning!! It is the latest update and it has screwed up my phone, I thought these updates were supposed to be checked to make sure there are no Sanfu's.
Any help will be gratefully recieved.

First gen iPad having problems after iOS5 update

I have recently upgraded my first gen iPad to iOS5 (and subsequent update) and have had nothing but issues, sometimes to the point of making my iPad unusable with apps that take ten seconds to update (talking about even apple apps so it is not a third party issue), the system freezing up and not responding for well over ten seconds (example of this is while typing), and Safari crashing almost at least once an hour. I have rebooted the system numerous times and these issues have continued. I used to expect problems like this from Windows system, now it looks like I can expect the same from my Apple products as well.
Anyone else having issues like this?

Same problems here. Also browser issues, Safari (the worst), Atomic and Opera. Have tried every cache clearing and reset suggestion I can find. IOS 5 has been a royal pain. 5.01 didn't help anything here.

Sync problems after itunes update!!!!!

I have had no problem with the Nan 6th Gen since new but since the last itunes update I cannot sync my music but I get the message that it is connected but it is not recognised.
As advised on the error message I have reset the Nano and re-installed itunes with the same results.
Has anyone had the same experience or can help?

Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

IPhone/iMac sync problem following Yosemite update

I updated to Yosemite and have had multiple frustrating problems. The most recent one is that when I synced my iPhone after the update, almost every single entry disappeared from my calendar, causing me to miss an important appointment. When I compare my iMac calendar to the iPhone calendar now, I can see indications on the iPhone of items that correspond to the iMac items (little dot on the day on the monthly calendar), but when I click on the day there is absolutely nothing visible on the calendar. And obviously no reminders going off, causing missed appointments. On my iPhone calendar I have changed no settings at all following Yosemite update, and prior to update everything that was on my iMac calendar was showing on the iPhone. I don't do iCloud, I just sync by physically connecting the phone to the iMac.
My impression is overall that Apple is getting very lazy now that their market share is getting so huge. Yosemite update has been a disaster for me.

Sorry, on rereading I realise that the information is not completely clear. The items that are missing are on the iPhone calendar. The iMac calendar still has all the items that were on it before the Yosemite update. What has gone wrong is that somehow the phone calendar is not being updated properly at sync; for some weird reason the display (and reminders) on the phone calendar were wiped out with the sync to the iMac following the Yosemite update.

IPad 2 problem after ios5 update

I have just updated my iPad 2 to ios5 yesterday. Everything was working fine until a couple minutes before when I couldn't click on any apps in the store. I could click on the BUY button but not entering the page to see the details of the app. My partner has the same problem straight after the update. Help please?

I, too, have been having this issue with my iPad 2 and it is quite a nuisance. I have the iPod 2 32gb wifi version.
Hoping someone has any suggestions/fixes available

Sync problem post forced reset

Hi
I have an ipod touch and an iphone and until wednesday they both connected to and synced with itunes and all was well.
I then paid my £12.99 to update the touch software to 1.1.3, left everything alone and went to work; when I came home therehad been a power cut and the software had not updated propery - itunes suggestd a reset on the touch which I did and now I have nothing on the touch and itunes does not recognise the touch for syncing; it seesthe touch, ie it's listed in the devices list but the only right-click option I have is eject and the arrow to the left of the device is is missing. Thankfully, the iphone still works OK with itunes.
All help gratefully received as I don't use the iphone as an ipod, just the touch
Thanks in advance
Ian

Just in case it was the upgrade to 1.1.3 that was causing the problem i [re-]purachsed the upgrade - still makes no difference and I'll now need to check that I've only paid once for the upgrade...!
Looking forward to answer
Thanks
Ian

IPad problems after iOS5 update

Long process so I'll go through step by step.
I downloaded the iOS 5 update on Wednesday and backed up my iPad 1 (64gb, wi-fi) both seemingly without issue. Let iTunes do its thing and install the OS and restore my backup and while it seemed to update the software OK the backup failed. Tried again probably 10 times getting various errors (-35, -48, 4056xxx, not sure if those are exactly right but you get the idea) so I decided to delete the iOS 5 file from my computer, restore to factory settings and try downloading, installing and restoring again but got the same problems.
So I bit the bullet and accepted that somewhere in the backup the file may have been corrupted and tried to set it up as a new iPad with iOS 5. Got all my apps synced, but when it goes to sync my music/movies/etc. it will just stop and iTunes will just eject the iPad itself.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm not too worried about the restore as I can recreate my home screens and sign back into the apps that require it, I just want to get everything back on there.
EDIT: All this on a Mac running the newest versions of both Lion and iTunes.

Same problems here. Also browser issues, Safari (the worst), Atomic and Opera. Have tried every cache clearing and reset suggestion I can find. IOS 5 has been a royal pain. 5.01 didn't help anything here.

How to sync contacts after ios5 update

i just updated my iPad2 and iPod Touch 4 to iOS5. I was going to move to iCloud but got a warning that I should first make sure one of these devices has an up to date Calendars and Contacts before I do that. I checked both devices and noticed that my Contacts are not up to date on either device. I tried syncing them in iTunes but it says Syncing has been disabled on this computer. Then it asks me if I want to enable it and I click YES. Then it tells me Syncing cannot be enabled on this computer.
When I go to System Preferences, MobileMe, I click on Sync and get a message "Sync Unavailable An unknown error occurred while performing a sync operation. Please check your account and network settings, then try again." That doesn't tell me much since my Network settings haven't changed.
Now I seem to be stuck.

To clarify, iPhone Contacts disappeared after the iOS 5.0.1 update, even though I DON'T use MobileMe or iCloud; I sync with iTunes. Follow the instructions in TS2481 but skip the MobileMe section. Instead, scroll down to "For issues syncing contacts and contact groups in Address Book" and expand the text.
Hope this clears things up.

Syncing iMessages post Yosemite Update

I am SO frustrated. I've read forum after forum and CANNOT seem to set up text message forwarding. I've signed into just one apple id across all of the devices (@icloud.com), I've selected receive from and only had my email address selected. I've toggled the iMessage on and off on my phone (sometimes crashing iMessage - it says it's activating and then says it can't connect to iCloud).
There is a SERIOUS bug in iMessage and this problem only started after I updated to Yosemite and iOS 8, on my new iPhone 5.
Before updating anything, my MacBook Air and my iPhone 4 were working together beautifully. After updating to Yosemite, still having my iPhone 4 (without iOS 8), suddenly I could receive messages on both devices, but they would show up unread on my phone even though I checked them on my laptop and vice versa and my replies would only show up on the device where the replies originated. When I switched to the other device, conversations appear one sided - I can only see the series of messages my friends sent me in the conversation on the other device (without my replies).
Today, I was furious because I texted someone from my phone while at work and then thought that I never heard from them. I went home to discover that their reply only went to my Macbook Air, which had been sitting at home, closed, on the kitchen table!
PLEASE FIX THIS BUG, APPLE.
Kind regards,
K

I just opened my laptop and it's WORKING!
I am assuming syncing everything to the iCloud Apple ID was what did it. Make sure you're signed into icloud ID across all devices. Ignore all of the postings on toggling iMessage on and off and checking certain "Receive At" IDs.
Simply ensure you are logged into your @icloud.com or @me.com Apple ID on iCloud on all devices, and then ensure you are logged into that same ID in iMessage. When you open iMessage on your device, you can see the email you are logged into at the top of the options. If it isn't your @icloud or @me address, tap the ID and you get the option to sign out and then sign back in. Sometimes this makes the phone hang up, when it tries to activate the ID, but you can just rest the phone (holding the power and home button at the same time until you see the black screen with the apple), an it should be set.
Then, give it 24 hrs.
