Here's why iPhone sync is failing for so many

One of the first things iTunes does during sync is try to connect to port 443 at iphonesubmissions.apple.com (that's the port for HTTP over SSL). Unfortunately, no server is responding on that port.
So, it's nothing wrong with your phone, or your Mac. It's Apple's problem.
This is why the workaround that many have suggested of disconnecting the network works. Whatever iTunes wants to do with iphonesubmissions.apple.com is not essential to syncing.

Here's another way to stop the problem, more convenient than turning off the network.
Open your home folder. Find and open "Library". In there, find and open "Logs". In there, find and open "CrashReporter". In there, find and open "MobileDevice". In there, you should find a folder named after your iPhone. It contains crash logs from when applications on your iPhone crashed. Either move this folder out of "MobileDevice" or delete it. You should then be able to run iTunes and sync normally until you next have an application crash on the iPhone.

  • What to do if Iphone sync seesion fails to start

    I'm trying to sync my iphone 4 on itunes, but everytime that I try to sync it, it gives me an error message.
    "The Iphone "____" cannot be synced because the sync session failed to start."
    I have my information synced on my Icloud, But when I try to transfer music files and what not, I cannot sync to itunes.
    I've tried disabling the Icloud for the meantime, but this does not work either.
    I'd really love some music on my Iphone. Please help!

    make sure your iPhone is unlocked at the home screen and not in sleep mode. Also disconnect your usb cable and try plugging it into another usb port.

  • ITunes could not sync contacts or iCal to the iPhone sync server failed

    *+iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "Username" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone+*
    I have read most of the post on this subject and have tried most of the solutions as they applied to me however resulting in same error message as above.
    I have performed the following:
    1. Reset iSync History
    2. Installed the latest version of iTunes 7.5.2
    3. Installed the latest version of iPhone software 1.1.2
    4. Removed folders and files from the Library.
    What I haven't done and only will do as a last resort.
    1. Reinstall Tiger
    2. Purchased and Installed Leopard
    3. Restore iPhone settings
    Does anyone have a viable solution? Thanks in advance!

    I called Apple Tech Support and spoke with a Product Specialist. He helped me resolved the issue.

  • HT201359 I think I'm being a bit thick here, but why is my visa charged for apps in games if I have money left on an iTunes gift card?

    I want to know pease, why my visa is being charged for in game purchases,even though I have plenty of money left on an iTunes / apps gift card?

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • Why remove sync to iTunes for calendar and contacts?

    Why in the world would Apple remove the capability to sync your iphone's calendar, contacts and notes to your desktop via iTunes in Mavericks?   I can see no benefit whatsoever.  Do you really believe everyone wants to use iCloud?  I don't care how strong your firewalls are and how well you encrypt data ... a dedicated and motivated hacker can get into your systems and Apple is a huge target.
    I was just fine with syncing my calendar and contacts locally on my computer (not a huge target).
    Please reinstate this very useful and convenient capability.

    Do I really have to justify why the feature is useful?  Just because you need updates every second and don't mind putting all the personal contact information for your friends and family on a server accessable to the internet and a world of hackers that would love to compromise a big target like iCloud doesn't mean everyone should have to.  There are valid reasons to keep your information private and there was a perfectly useful option to make that easy.  There is a huge list of top tech companies that have been breached by determined and motivated hackers (read Sony, Microsoft, and even developer.apple.com).  It makes no sense to me to remove a useful tool and force everyone to entrust their personal information to a third party (any third party).  Options are good.  Choice lets everyone satisfy their needs.

  • Usage reports more free space, than iTunes but music sync update fails for lack of space

    32 GB iPod touch 5th generation IOS 8.3
    Settings -> General -> Usage (Storage) says Used 17.1GB Available 10.3GB
    itunes 12.1.2.27 says 6.15 GB free
    Attempt to sync a music update - results in message(s) saying
    "unable to add song ... not enough space"
    I can understand some free space is need for overhead but

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Why do I see "FAILED" for probes on standby ACE?

    Here there,
    I am running a pair of ACE in redundancy mode for HA and have created multiple context.
    here is my basic config for the serverfarm.
    serverfarm host VPN_Farm

      rserver SVR_B
        probe ICMP_Probe

    So, on the active unit, I can see that the probes are running fine. However, if I do "show probe" on the standby unit, it appears that all my probes fail.

    Thank you

    Hi Hyeon,
    Some questions here.
    Is this an ACE module or an ACE 4710? What version?
    Are both ACEs peers connected to the same switch or how you got them setup? Can you describe a little bit your topology?
    From the standby, Did you try to ping/telnet the servers?
    Did you try to remove the probe and re-add it back? (get a #show tech-support before and after)
    Is there any firewall or L3 device between the ACEs and the servers?
    Do you use these servers for several contexts? Is the probe failing in all the contexts?

  • Why is my update failing for AFTER EFFECTS?

    I downloaded After Effects 12.2 update after being told my version of AE CC won't work on 10.9.3. I downloaded the installer, but when I clicked on the PatchInstaller, the crappy Adobe Application Manager told me that the Update Failed. Updates could not be applied. Please contact your Administrator... I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR!
    I clicked on the "customer support" link. And I use quotes because it shucked me to here, where they apparently don't have anyone answering questions.

  • Is it possible to sync multiple mobileme accounts onto the iphone, syncing ical calendars for these multiple mobile me accounts ?

    I am trying to sync two mobileme accounts into my iphone and each account have different calendars ( all being with ical NOT CALDAV).
    Now, my question is can I sync these different calendars, belonging to different mobileme accounts, into the iphone? please assist me on this matter.
    Basically i want to have a work calendar  to share with my colleagues and a personal calendar to share just with my friends and family.

    You are correct.  This used to work in the past although admittedly I haven't tried it for some time as it was of no direct use for my purposes.
    If the goal is to see another MobileMe account's calendar(s) on your iOS device then an alternative would be to share the calendar(s) in question to yourself.
    Example:
    Assume you currently have MobileMe user account A on your iPhone.
    Login to MM user account B with me.com which has the calendar you wish to have access to on your iPhone
    Click on Calendars
    Click on the Share button for the calendar you wish to see added to your iPhone.
    Type in the MobileMe email address for MM user account A and set it for read & write access
    Login to MM user account A on me.com
    Go to calendars and accept the invitation to join the calendar you sent from MM account B
    Go your iPhone (you may need to turn it on and off to make the calendars refresh ) and check your calendars, you should now have the other calendars added to your MobileMe account A's calendar
    Note: You can repeat step # 3 for each of the calendars you wish to see on your iPhone.

  • Sync Archive fails for CRSs on LMS 3.1

    Hi, I've been trying to collect the configuration of some CRS-1 4-slot but it keeps on failing. These are the only devices I'm missing (out of 2,000). I've tried to tweak the timeout values but it makes no difference. The actual values are set to:
         SNMP Retry = 6
         SNMP Timeout = 90 sec
         Telnet Timeout = 120 sec
         TFTP Timeout = 60 sec
    The protocols I'm using to retrieve the configs are SSH, Telnet, and TFTP. Telnet is disabled on this devices, they use SSH v2 instead. What I get from the job details is:
    *** Device Details for 9R_MCO_NEXTENGO ***
    Protocol ==> Unknown / Not Applicable
    Selected Protocols with order ==> SSH,Telnet,TFTP
    Execution Result:
    CM00139 Could not archive config Cause: Action: Verify that device is managed and credentials are correct. Increase timeout value, if required.
    They are managed by RME, indeed and it has been able to collect their inventory. This CW is installed on Solaris 9. If I try to SSH from the console it prompts me for a password, but if I type in CW server's account password it won't log me in. Then I need to specify my username and I'm able to get access.
         # ssh 10.255.0.41 -l CISWORKS
    Does this looks like an SSH issue? Then it should be able to collect the configs by TFTP. Or are CRSs not fully supported on LMS 3.1? This devices are running IOS XR 3.6.2.
    Thanks in advance.

    This sounds to me like the credentials are misconfigured in DCR.  Go to Common Services > Device and Credentials > Device Management, and re-enter the username and password for this device.  Then see if you can archive the configuration.  The CRS-1 4-slot chassis is supported in RME 4.2.

  • Please support wifi sync with itunes for iphone and touch

    Why not syncing using Wifi for iphone, touch and Macs to keep libraries and devices in sync?
    Bye Marco

    This really isn't the best place to give Apple feedback. It is suggested you go through the appropriate channels, and in this case that would be via the iTunes Feedback Page.

  • I want to stop my iPhone syncing with iPhoto

    I want to stop my iPhone syncing with iPhoto.
    I find the business of syncing my low-res phone pics with my Mac pointless and time-consuming. I notice that even if you do sync-up - then, unplug phone from Mac and re-plug - it will ask do you want to sync up 22 pics - yes - Hey i can see these are all duplicates shall I not bother it says....
    OR if you dont sync-up at the above - it means you always have to wait for iPhoto to open up and thats annoying too.
    I have unchecked the 'sync with iphoto' option in itunes tabs. But this does not stop the phone from attempting the iphoto sync-up.
    Why you no risson? I say..
    Anyone else had this problem greatful for any fix. Thanks.

    The selection under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences is for transferring photos from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    When your iPhone includes photos that were captured by your iPhone (stored in your iPhone's Camera Roll), or any photos saved from an email or from a website on your iPhone which are also stored in your iPhone's Camera Roll, you iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. If you want to import these photos to your computer, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture application.
    To prevent iPhoto from launching automatically when you iPhone includes photos in the Camera Roll when your iPhone is connected, depending on the iPhoto version you are using, this is done with iPhoto preferences. If your iPhoto version doesn't include this preference setting, you can accompish the same with the Image Capture application - Image Capture preferences. At automatically open with, select No Application.

  • LMS 3.2 - RME 4.3.1 Sync archive fails

    I have modified the "Maximum time to wait for Job Results per device (seconds):" to 240.
    What could be wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    Resolution Summary:Checked the dcmaService.log and found the following recurring statements.

    Checked that the device IOS was well above the version specified in the logs, so thought may be an issue with the device packages.
    Checked the mdf version was 1.25 which came as default when we install LMS 3.2, so upgraded the mdf version to 1.45.
    Still the issue didn't got solved, so upgraded the RME device packages and now the archive job was successful.

  • Connection verification failed for data source using mySQL

    Hi,
    I having problem with mySQL datasource and getting the above error. This is only happening in our staging server. We are using ColdFusion 8 running JRUN4 and trying to connect to mySQL v 5.1.41. I tried adding DSN from my localhost using ColdFusion 9 developer edition and I am able to connect without error.I know that mysql server, username & password is valid. I can access the mysql also using mySQL gui tool from different pc and it works fine. I'm believe that this has something to do with mySQL driver? Can somebody shed some light on how can I fix my DSN connection problem? Thank you.
