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.

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.....

Hello aztecc16,
The following articles provide some useful troubleshooting steps and information that can help get your iPod to work correctly with your computer.
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
Also, while the following article is tailored for iOS devices, it does contain some further information and troubleshooting should you still be having issues getting your iPod to work with your computer.
1. Restart your computer.
2. Install the latest version of iTunes.
3. Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements. iOS devices require the following minimum version of Windows:
Windows XP Service Pack 3
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8
4. Download and install any available software updates from Microsoft.5. Connect the device directly to your computer; not to an external USB hub. Find out if your computer has USB 2.0 ports.6. Check that the Dock Connector or Lightning Connector on both the device and cable are clean of any lint or other debris. If possible, connect your device using a different Apple 30-pin to USB cable or Apple Lightning Connector to USB cable.7. Disconnect other USB peripherals from your computer, with the exception of your keyboard and mouse. After disconnecting these peripherals, restart your computer, connect your device, and open iTunes.8. Connect your device to a different USB port on your computer.9. Use the Task Manager to stop some Apple Services:
Launch the Task Manager:
For Windows XP: Press Control + alt + delete on the keyboard.
For Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8: Press Control + alt + delete on the keyboard. Then click "Start Task Manager". If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
Click the Processes tab of the Task Manager. End each of these three processes by clicking in their names and choosing "End Process":
iTunesHelper.exe
AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
iPodService.exe
After ending these processes, reboot your computer, open iTunes, and test.
10. Connect your device to a different computer to determine whether the issue is specific to your computer.

If the file was not originally from iTunes, you'll need to redownload it from it's original source or rerip it from the CD. Files can sometimes go bad and become corrupted. As to how or why that happens, there are a number of ways.
What format are the problematic tracks in? Have you tried converting them to another format in iTunes?

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..

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.

Error 0xE8000004 when trying to sync iphone 4S with Itunes

Hi,
I need help. When I connect my Iphone 4S on my macbook pro with I tunes I get a message saying that an unkown error 0eXE8000004 has occured and that I should try again later. I restarded my iphone, my computer, changed the 23 pin cable, changed the USB port but I always have this problem. Finally I decided to do a complete reset of my iphone but I still have the same issue.
Can someone help me?
Best regards,
Arnaud

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.

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.

I keep getting error messages when trying to sync my Iphone

I am not sure what the heck is going on.... the syncing has been running smooth up until now and I am not sure why it is all of a sudden doing this. I keep getting 2 error messages....
#1 being "The Iphone "Nikki's Iphone" cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.
and
#2 Itunes cannot sync apps to the Iphone "Nikki's Iphone" because the apps installed on the phone could not be determined.....
My Iphone has the latest OS system and my Itunes is up to date.... what is going on????

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.
