Getting error msg: Session could not be started

Since the update of itunes and ios i get an error msg saying could not sync iphone because a session could not be started.
Have an iphone 4

Take that last message back. I decided to try backing it up manually by right clicking on the Touch in the left sidebar of iTunes. That method worked - backup went off without a hitch. Don't ask me why.

When synching my 4th gen ipod touch I get error msg saying ipod could not be backed up because session could not be started with the ipod. It only does synch steps 2-5. Do I have to restore it?

When synching by 4th gen ipod touch it skips the first step - backup-, does steps 2 through 5, then I get a message the ipod could not be backed up because a session could not be started with the ipod. How do I fix this? Do I have to restore my ipod? Will all my apps be erased?

You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes. When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

I am trying to update my iPod touches and keep getting an error message saying iTunes could not back up my iPod because a session could not be started. I have followed all trouble shooting advice found on the apple website, unplugged and replugged the device, restarted my computer, etc. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have the same issue, except I can't even sync.

TS2830 Sync for IPod Touch quit working and I get error messages "a session could not be started" and "a connection could not be established" although the IPod appears in ITunes.

This is a new problem for an IPod Touch I have had for a year. The IPod is hooked up by cable and appears in ITunes. I can examine all the content on the IPOD and I can click "sync". It goes through to Step 7 and then the error messages occur. First "a session could not be started with the IPod" and when that dialogue box is closed, the message "a connection could not be established to the IPod."

I get a message: "Itunes could not back up the Ipod, because a session could not be started with the Ipod." What can I do? I cant put any videos into it. HELP!

I get a message when downloading video to the Ip[od: "I tunes could not back up the Ipod, because a session could not be started with the Ipod." What does this mean? What can I do? I cant put in any video. HELP!

I get these issues too, Even with a restore?
I work around it, (and would appreciate feedback on if this works for everyone) by :
Right clicking device in iTunes and selecting "backup", I then get the error; I quickly "ok" the error, then select "backup" again, then I often get the error a second time, but on the third attempt (in very quick succession) of selecting backup, the task initiates, and completes successfully!
Exactly the same for a restore!
Did this work for you?

Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
download iTunes again from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.

IPhone backup not working - "session could not be started" error

Ever since I upgraded my phone (3GS) to OS4, backup in iTunes has stopped working. The error message is:
"iTunes could not back up the iPhone "XXXX" because a session could not be started with the iPhone"
I have seen this error in other threads, and have tried the fixes suggested, including:
- checking permissions on the backup directory
- deleting old backups via iTunes prefs
- deleting old backups manually (by deleting the folder)
- hard reset
... but none of these work. Everything is fully updated (OSX, iTunes, iPhone) to the latest versions.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Log in using an administrator account. See if you can manually create a backup by control clicking the phone in the device pane & selecting "backup". Make sure that auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, is disabled under preferences in itunes BEFORE you connect your phone. DO NOT SYNC. If the backup completes under your admin account, this will confirm a permissions problem under your user account.
