Error -39 when trying to Sync iPhone (1 gen, 2.2)

Hi All,
A couple a days ago I started getting a *Error -39* when trying to sync my iPhone (1 gen, 2.2), any idea why is that and how do I sort it out? I've already tried rebooting my UMB and re-installing iTunes.
Can anyone say what is the -39 referring to? Unfortunately Sir Google has no idea.
Kind regards,
Oskar

Ok figured it out. Apparently I tried to sync a file that has been corrupted in some way. Clearing synchronization and setting up a new one resolved the problem.

    Restart your computer and the iPhone. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

  • Error message when trying to sync iPhone 3GS.

    After updating my iPhone 3GS with the newest iOS and restoring it, I now get this message when trying to sync the iPhone 3GS
    The iPhone “iPhone” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish. Have recently purchased 4S and need to convert.
    Will this cause problems? Thanks

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • ITunes Unknown error (-53) when trying to sync iPhone in Windows 7

    I've done a bit of googling and didn't find anything that helped.
    I have tried:
    - resetting the iPhone
    - rebooting the OS
    - the disabling power save on the USB
    - installing a new version of iTunes (9.0.3.15)
    - installing iTunes over itself (9.0.3.15)
    - installing an older version of iTunes (9.0.0.70)
    The error occurs at the last stage, where iTunes says " Syncing "iPhone <name>" ".
    Phone was previously sync'd with my iTunes in XP before going to 7. I did choose to sync only with the new 7 system.
    The phone charges fine, and I can pull pictures off of it via Windows.
    Ideas?

    Jollyman,
    to sync your photos, you have a few options.
    If you have your TOP iTunes page set to "automatically" sync when logged on, it will search for the photos folder in your iTunes folder on your PC. If you have nothing in there, nothing will come out and whatever is already on your device will be synced to 'nothing' in you folder.
    I find it more useful to checkmark on the top iTunes page "manage music and photos manually". This will give you a little bit more control of where and which photos/in which folder on your PC you wish to update/sync.
    Once you've checkmarked it, you'll see a pop-up..."are you sure etc...it will erase blah blah blah". Click YES and APPLY (important).
    Now when you click in the left sidebar on your device's name (iPod, iPhone...whatever), click on the icon itself to take you to your device's homepage. In the top menu choose PHOTOS and choose in the dropdown menu the folder where you wish to keep ALL your pics/320x480-Images/Photos/ETC. that you have made your DESTINATION folder for UPDATES. This is important, because every time you'll sync your hardware, iTunes will search for that folder to locate any new updates/additions to that folder and considers it an update/sync. So make sure you always have ALL the things in that folder that you wish to see on your iPhone/iPod or whatever you are trying to update/sync.

    The origin of this error is that you are trying to sync with the wrong version of iTunes. However, in this case it might be indicating a corrupt file. Does it always stop at the same picture? If so, try deleting the picture from the folder and syncing again.

  • TS4062 I am getting error msg when trying to sync-iPhone could not sync because the sync session failed

    I am trying to sync my iPhone and receiving the following message:  iPhone could not sync because the sync session failed
    I have tried walking through the set ups again, and cannot figure this out.  Any help out there?  Thank you.

    I seemed to have figured it out...... I hard reset my Iphone and rebooted my computer and it seemed to work. It also seemed there was a music file that was not being recognized, I just erased it and everything worked fine after that.... very strange but I am so glad I figured it out.....

  • Error message when trying to sync - iphone is connected to another itunes account.

    I only have 1 apple id and password, however when I open itunes, a lot of my music that I have previously purchased which is already on my phone, is not there. When I try to sync, an error message states that if I continue all data will be replaced. Also have 2 ipad minis which come up with same message.  Please help!

    You don't need iTunes to recognize your iPhone just to update it. Forget about your iPhone, update iTunes, and plug your iPhone in. It should work.

  • When I start my computer I get a "AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found message.  I also get an error message when trying to sync with iTunes that a backup session cannot be started.  How do I fix this?

    In the last few days when I start my computer, I get a box that opens with "AppleSyncNotifier.exe" Entry Point Not Found in the title.
    It says:  "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and still get an error message when trying to sync my phone with iTunes
    "iTunes could not back up iPhone ####, because a session could not be started with the iPhone."
    The last time I tried to sync my phone (iPhone 3G S) with iTunes, everything seemed to freeze up at Stage 4 of the sync process. 
    Any advice????

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck
