  • Error message: apps installed on ipad not recognised when trying to sync

    I am getting an error message when trying to sync saying itunes cannot sync apps to my ipad because the apps installed could not be determined. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    were these bought with the same applie id?  when you are in the store, scroll to the bottom and confirm that you are logged in as the user you need to be.
    Otherwise, do a reboot.  That sometimes clears stuff like this up.  Press and hold both the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears.  ignore the red slider.

  • "Sync Session failed to start" when connecting iPhone to iTunes

    Help?!?!

    Hello noraa311
    If you are seeing an alert error about not being able to start the session, tends to be an issue with backing up. The article below will start you troubleshooting and resolving the issue.

  • When attempting a sync with my iPod Touch gen 5 I get this error "The iPod "****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  I could not find the backup file to delete per researched support recommendation.  I have synced this iPod.

    "....could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  I have synced this iPod with this MacBook Air about 6 weeks ago.  Now it won't sync.  A possible solution is to delete the backup file located in Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/  However, I don't have a "MobileSync" folder in my Application Support folder.  Please help.

  • The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

    I am trying to sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes and I receive this "The iPhone 'XYZ's iPhone' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." I have synced this phone many times in the past without any issues and this error just started to occur. I have done all the usual: reset my phone settings, restarted my computer etc. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I could do?

    iTunes
    The version of iTunes that comes with beta 2 cannot sync devices that have the beta 1 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following:
    Sync any devices that have beta 1 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 1.
    Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 2.
    Connect the device and install the beta 2 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.)
    After installing the beta 2 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.

  • Sync session failed to start in iTunes after updated to iOS 7

    Sync session failed to start in iTunes after updated to iOS 7

    Restart your computer
    While your computer is restarting, clear all of the applications from the background on your iPhone. You can do this by pushing the home button twice and swiping the programs off the screen by pushing them upwards.
    After you are done doing that, restart your phone.
    Wait about 10 seconds or so and turn your phone back on. By the time you get your phone back on your computer should be completly restarted and ready to go.
    When your phone is back on, plug it into your computer. This should automatically bring up your Itunes, you may get another pop up that says autoplay, you can close that out. That's it. I hope it helps and good luck

  • Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc.

    Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc.  Windows 7

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found."  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

    Hello brainiac08

  • Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

    Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

  • I am getting an error message that my Iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

    I am getting an error message when trying to sync to my PC that says "The Iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"  what setting is messed up?

    The way I fixed this (though I'm using a iTouch 4G): disconnect your iPhone from the computer, shut down iTunes, then reset your iPhone by holding the Power/Sleep & Home buttons together for 10 seconds. Restart iTunes, then when your iPhone restarts, reconnect it to the computer, and everything should work fine

  • Error message help: "The iPod "CKK's iPod" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."

    I get this error message when trying to sync my iPod Touch, "The iPod “CKK's iPod” could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  I have done the restore on it, but still get the message... I realize that the restore takes away everything on the iPod, but I was hoping I wouldn't get the message again.. nop

    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..

  • HT1296 When i try to sync my ipad with itunes on my computer it gives me an error message saying that the sync session failed to start."  How can i fix this??

    When i try to sync my ipad with the itunes on my computer it gives me an error message.  " The sync session failed to start.  How can i fix this??  I had to uninstall itunes on my computer because of runtime error R6034.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • 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.
