Cant save data on computer during sync.

whenever my sister and i try to sync out ipods onto out computer, the sync starts but a message pops up part way though saying that "iTunes could not back up the iPod "Brian's iPod" because the backup could not be saved to the computer". we are using the same computer (Windows 7, 64-bit) but we are using seperate iTunes accounts (in different user files). why is this happening, and how can we fix it?? i want to sync and my sister wants to upgrade to iOS 5.
extra notes: we are using iTunes 10.5 and both iPods are 4th Gen iPod Touches.

My iPad won't backup to my computer during sync

Since downloading iOS5, my iPad won't backup during sync with my computer. It tries to start, then just sits there. Any ideas? I'm working off of Windows7 on my computer and have already tried the Restore function.
Thanks!

first of all make sure your icloud storage isn't full. Try plugging your iPad into your computer and click on icloud.
And if non of this helps either contact your local apple store or visit it when you get the chance.
I hope something helped.

Is application data backed up during Sync?

A first generation iPhone and ITunes (8.02-20) on an iMac (10.5-6).
I bought an app called To Do's and use it. I would be in trouble if I lost the data. The application syncs, but does iTunes backup the data that I have put into To Do's? How can I verify the backup was successful? Can I view the To Do on the iMac? Even if the data was in text only at least I would have something in case of disaster. Is such a backup application dependent?
+All help is appreciated!+

Will songs purchased on my iPod touch transfer to my computer during sync?

Will songs purchased using Touch, transfer to my desktop music library during sync? If so, automatically or is there something I need to do to make it happen?

They should.

Need to copy save data but can't sync or back-up as my screen is broke?

I am using a 4G and intend to buy a 5G but I don't want to restart my games from the start. I tried to do a backup but my iPod has a passcode so when I try to sync it says I have to type in my passcode but as the screen is broke I cannot see where the keys are to type in. Is there anything I can do to copy my data?

All you can do is to restore from an existing backup.

My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer?

My iphone 4 will not back up when it syncs. A comment comes up stating it cant save back up to my computer? I have enough space on my hard drive, I have the new version of itunes and iphone software, and have tried restarting my computer several times. I ran apple diagnostics which found no issues! I'm not sure how to resolve this issue, please help me.

I kept getting this last week. Really annoying. I found this solution:
Remove (delete) ALL photos and videos from your iphone. Reboot it. Connect to your pc again.
This worked for me, however I've since taken some more pics and it doesn't sync again, so I'm not sure what permanent solution there is, although I've read lots of technical ones by googling it.

Had trouble receiving texts, I did an IOS update, it lost everything on my phone. I had it synced to the computer it synced to my sister's iphone data and now I cant unlock my phone or do anything. I am receiving texts from her contacts meant for her!

Restore your iPhone with the backup for your iPhone or as new.

How do I clear my bookmarks from the Firefox browser on a public computer, having synced my account to see them during a browsing session?

Here's what I'm trying to achieve:
1. I use Firefox on someone else's computer and sync my account to retrieve my bookmarks. (This works.)
2. After finishing my browsing session, I sign out of my Firefox account, and my bookmarks are cleared from the Firefox browser. (This doesn't work.)
I have tried the following options:
a) Open menu > Options > Sync > untick 'Bookmarks' > OK. This doesn't clear my bookmarks from the browser, not even if I close and open it again. They all show up.
b) Open menu > Options > Sync > under Firefox Account click 'Disconnect' > OK. This doesn't clear my bookmarks either, only necessecitates me signing in to sync again.
I understand there used to be an option to 'unlink this device', which may clear all data including bookmarks, but I can't find it anywhere. I've also read an article suggesting clearing bookmarks etc can be achieved by deleting your Firefox profile from a device, but I fear this will delete global options such that I won't be able to access them on my home computer.
Surely there must be a way of siging in then out of the Firefox account on different computers, like you can with e-mail, without leaving all your bookmarks etc open for every other user to see afterwards? I'm transfering to Firefox from Chrome precisely because it doesn't have the capacity to do this (scarily), and to clear my bookmarks from a friends' browser, I had to uninstall Chrome on her computer!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later AND Your iPhone has never been backed up to this computer AND always Not Responding

First: I get the message telling me that "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later."
Second: In the Summary Tab under Backups, iTunes is telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to my computer - which is not true. It's also telling me that my iPhone has never been backed up to iCloud. Again, not true. Although my backups are all missing from iTunes, I can see what I think is them in their folder: C:\Users\*your user name here*\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync.
Third: iTunes is SLOOOOOOOOW. It takes nearly ten minutes - sometimes more - to launch, and when it does, it's constantly not responding. It seems every time I touch something it stops responding.
Fourth: I've been searching this "help" forum for a solution, and I've seen many other references, yet the only suggestion I've seen from someone from Apple is a reference to a solution that is over 2 years old - and DOESN'T WORK for anyone I can see who's tried it!
I've tried everything I could think of, and that others have suggested, including:
Uninstalling and re-installing iTunes
Ensuring I have the latest version of iTunes
Re-setting sync history
Renaming my Backup folder at the path above, and letting iTunes create a new one
Running around the house whilst pulling my hair and yelling obscenities
None helped. At all.
Hmmm... Been a devoted Apple/iOS guy for years, but maybe it's time to switch to Android?

I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
Getting there.... I hope!

The article says that I should upgrade to the latest iTunes. I am on the latest iTunes version.
If you could read just a tiny little bit further, under the "Additional Information" section immediately after that, it says:
If you are still experiencing this issue when syncing, or have not installed Xcode 4 and get this alert:
Follow the troubleshooting steps in Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: Resetting the SyncServices folder.
If the issue is still unresolved, follow steps in Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing.
Have you tried those measures?

I have a 3GS iPhone, version 3.1.2. I have never plugged my phone into a computer or synced with iTunes. If I do so now, I will I lose everything? What steps need to be taken to ensure that all of my data, contacts, photos, etc. are not lost?
