"Merging data" error when syncing iPhone 5s Calendar to MacBook Pro Calendar, using Mountain Lion

Since a failed attempt to sync data via iCloud (resulting in duplicate entries in Calendar and Contacts, missing data, and other oddities), whenever I try to sync the Calendars via iTunes, I repeatedly get the error message, "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone <name> because an error occurred while merging data." The Contacts sync fine, and the backup runs smoothly. The only discussions I can find in Apple Support are dated 2009 with older systems (I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.5, iTunes 11.1.5, iOS 7.1.1, but the problem occurred with iOS 7.0 and possibly 6.0 as well). Repairing permissions had no effect. I can't use the option to copy the Mac Calendar to the iPhone because new data are entered into the iPhone. Would appreciate guidance. I'm trying to avoid iCloud but if I have to go there to fix this, guidance for that would also be welcome.

I have iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 and iMac with Mavericks 10.9.3 and iTunes 11.2.1.
I also got this error when I tried to sync iPhone with iMac (after a year when Apple disabled local USB cabel sync in Mavericks - thanks Apple for re-enabling it!).
I tried a number of things to no avail. Finally I tried three things - and hurraaa, can sync now! Unfortunatelly I didn't test sync among these three steps - so don't know which one fixed it - up to you to try. My guess is that it was the 3rd step, actually
Step 1: On my iPhone I opened Calendar and tap "Calendars" (top left). I have 7 items on the list (2 email accounts, Calendar, Home, Work, Reminders, Birthdays). Most of the calendar entries were in my Home calendar, only a few were in Work or Birthdays. I moved all of them to Home. I also checked whether there aren't any items without content.
Step 2: On the list of Calendars I had one custom item (Birthday in my local language). This item had only one entry in it. I deleted both the single entry and the custom item as a whole - so I left the default categories only.
Step 3: At the top of the list of Calendars there is an item "All from My Mac". I tapped this and thus enabled all of my calendar categories. Now the sync worked like a charm!
I actually noticed that when I synced, iTunes automatically checked all items under "Sync Calendars - Selected Calendars". Even if I manually deselected all except the "Home" calendar, as soon as I started to sync, iTunes checked all items automatically. This led me to thinking that if I check "All from My Mac" item in my iPhone it might work.
Good luck with your sync issue, hope you'll solve it.

Error message syncing iPhone after 10.5.2 upgrade

Error message while syncing iPhone after Leopard Upgrade to 10.5.2 : "The application AppleMobileSync quit unexpectedly" -- Anybody had the same trouble after this system upgrade? Any remedy advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Usually when this error message comes up, there is either corrupt data on the iphone or the computer.
First of all, disconnect the iphone and completely quit itunes.
Now, reset sync history as per the steps previously posted.
Next, open itunes and itunes preferences (itunes at the top of the screen > preferences).
Then go to the syncing or iphone tab and check the box to disable automatic syncing with all iphones and ipods.
Now click ok to close the preferences pane.
Connect your ipod and go to the info tab.
Set itunes to replace contacts and calendar information with what is on the computer.
Click apply in the bottom right corner.
If it is something in the iphone that is causing this error, this should overwrite it.
To narrow down what is causing this error on the computer, watch itunes when syncing the iphone to see what is trying to sync when this error comes up.
After the error message comes up, go into the iphone settings in itunes and uncheck the last thing itunes was trying to sync(usually contacts or calendars), then click apply in the bottom right corner.
This will start the sync process again.
If it is contacts that is causing this error, try creating a group in address book, move a few contacts into the group.
Then sync only that group to the iphone.
Keep this process up until you've narrowed down which contact or contacts is causing the issue.
If it is calendars causing the issue, you would go through the same process with a new calendar.
Hope this helps.

Update 9.1.0.79 Mobile Sync and Yahoo Go Sync error when sync iphone 3G

Every time I synce I get the two errors - Mobile Sync and Yahoo go Sync stop working. iPhone has 3.1.3 version. Also, backup takes longer. Please advise.

notice how under diagnostics readout it shows "most recent device not currently connected"
mine does same thing and i have iphone connected when i do it.
my problems also started with this update and i show 4 errors in event viewer which is under adminastrative tools in control panel.
MY problem is super slow backups for a 16gb 3Gs with 12gbs free. a backup used to be done in like 30-45 seconds now takes about 5 minutes and looks as if it stals at a few points when looking at bar at top of itunes.
my iphone shows up in itunes and shows all pages etc. i do everything manually although i do sync apps.
everytime i connect iphone and open itunes i get 4 errors thats show up only in event viewer (but anyone who maintains computers should be aware of all tools available to them to see whats going on in the background) that show up for "BONJOUR" i have posted this here and under bonjour forum. i turned off bonjour services the proper way again thrru adminastrative tools>services double click bonjour and change for "automatic to "disabled". don't do it through msconfig as some would tell you to do if it's a bonjour issue.
but checking out event viewer can give you valuable info so you don't do the apple nonsense wasting hours to clean up their messy installation only to have it do exact same thing again. it's obvoius they have a conflict.... now we can only hope for a resolution ie UPDATE if enough complain by sending them all this.
i don't have a jailbreak phone nor am i rebuilding anything i'll live with it till they fix it as my event viewer log isn't getting filled up with bonjour errors anymore nor do i need all this bloated crap apple sends our way... i do have quicktime pro.

Error when syncing iPhone 4

I recently upgraded to iPhone 4. Ever since doing that, I have been experiencing a problem when I sync the phone with my computer. I am constantly getting an error message that states:
iTunes could not back up the iPhone "" because the backup could not be saved on the computer.
I would say for every 5 times I sync the phone, I get this message 3 out of the 5 times. Most of the times when this happens, I click the Sync button in iTunes again and it usually syncs fine. There are a few times when it happens a second time and I just click the Sync button again and it usually works.
This is completely annoying and I have no idea why it's happening. My computer setup has not changed, my user account has not changed (I am the admin BTW). The only thing that's changed is I went from an iPhone 3 GS to an iPhone 4. And that's when the problem started.
I have reset the iPhone. I have deleted all old backups from the "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup" folder. All of the things that have been mentioned here before.
If anyone has any other ideas, I am definitely desparate to hear them. Thanks!

Error -50 - Syncing iPhone photos with aperture

Hi,
The facts:
OS - 10.7 Lion
iTunes - 10.4
iOS - 4.3.5
So when I updated to Lion and iTunes 10.4 my photos from Aperture will no longer sync with my phone. I get the error (-50), which to my understanding is a time out error. Now when I sync with iPhoto it works, no error.
Any help with getting my iPhone to sync with Aperture would be appreciated.

Found this link that works the first time you sync, but give me the same error the next time I sync.

Time out error while syncing Iphone on Vista

My Problem:
- PC running Vista Home Premium and latest Itunes (8.2.1.6)
- Syncing with Ipod Nano (4. gen) works without problems
While Syncing my new IPhone 3gs Itunes properly creates a backup and syncs apps and music bought/installed on the Iphone with the PC but fails to copy Music and Podcasts from the PC to the Iphone.
Error message (in german) declares "Sync failed due to devoce timeout" and afterwards "Sync failed due to media could not be found" (No error code no.).
I tried sofar:
- de- and reinstalling Itunes, Quicktime and Apple updater
- reset of the Iphone
- reinstalling Iphone OS via Itunes (this only worked on a different computer and failed on mine, also due to timeout)
Similar problems have been reported by other users in independent germas user forums.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix it?
thx GT1910

I have the same problem, OS is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition 64 bit, iTunes 8.2.1.6 64 bit version.
Brand new iPhone 3G S 32 GB, attempted sync, managed about 140 files then got the same message as reported above. Once it fails, it wont work again until I reboot, then I might be able to sync 20-30 songs, then it fails again. I'm adding a few files at a time to the sync to try and do it in bits, but it seems to gradually be getting worse, now I cant even get 10 tracks to sync.
This is my first ever Apple product and I have to say, not impressed so far :0(

Errors When Syncing iPhone

Yesterday, I accidentally closed iTunes while my iPhone 3G was restoring from a backup, the back up was about 2/3rds done. I checked my phone, and it looked like all of my stuff was restored, though I'm sure there were some things that didn't restore. Now when I plug in my phone, several error messages pop up relating to the "Apple Moblie Device Helper" process;
(AppleMobileDeviceHelper has encountered a problem and needs to close.)
(AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe Application Error, The instruction at ... referenced memory at ... The memory cannot be read.)
and the "SyncServices" process;
(Apple could not load dataclass information from Sync Sevices, reconnect, or try again later...)
I tried repairing iTunes from 'Add and Remove Programs', restarting the Apple Mobile Device Helper service, and restoring my iPhone, and yet still the errors persist...
Any ideas?

I guess reinstalling iTunes from scratch will solve the problem.
Make sure to fully uninstall both iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Helper.
Also be sure to delete the iTunes folder at C:\Program Files\iTunes\ before reinstalling.

Error when syncing iPhone with Outlook 2007 since updating iPhone to 1.1.2

Since updating to 1.1.2 I receive this message "OutlookSyncClient has stopped working". I am running Vista Business with Outlook 2007. Prior to updating to 1.1.2 I had no issues. I have tested this running iTunes 7.4.3.1 and 7.5.0.20. My contacts sync with no issues, only my calendar does not work. Has anyone else ran into this issue and have you found a resolution/work around?
Thanks,

Cannot sync iphone. an unkown error has occured (-50)

I cannot sync my iphone 4. I keep getting this error: cannot sync iphone. an unkown error has occured (-50)
Tried a hard restart on the phone and repair/reinstall of itunes. I can backup the iphone, does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

Get error message when trying to sync iphone to puter that says"cannot connect because apple mobile divise is not started? what do i do?

get error message when trying to sync iphone to puter that says"cannot connect because apple mobile divise is not started? what do i do?

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.

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean? I have had this phone for over a year..

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What is the issue, had this phone over a year??

I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck!

Error message when syncing iPhone to iTunes

I've tried three times now to sync my iPhone with iTunes. The software is the most updated version, but each time I get an error message: "The iPhone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)." Too vague for me to figure anything out. Is this a problem on my end or is iTunes experiencing a temporary glich?

I'm having the same problem, except I used to have 12 GB of music on my iPhone that is now gone, and the same disc space now says "Other", but there is no music on the iPod. I've tried the 5 R's, is it a glitch? I didn't have this problem until I updated yesterday. Everytime I sync, it tells me there is not enough space to download the music. What is the "Other" category? I can't find any info on it at all. Also, I am NOT a computer guru, I'm a nurse, so be gentle!

Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?
