HT1386 fail to start sync session

So I got a new Macbook and when I went to sync my I-Pod it deleted everything on my I-Pod and the only things I could restore were things on the cloud. I then resynced to my old computer (Dell)  to get all the other stuff back on my I-Pod. When I did that I got my stuff back except for the the music I got from CDs. I was then able to successfully put the music, videos, etc. to my new computer. Months later I tried to resync to my old computer, for backup and to try and get my other music back on my I-Pod. However it did not work, I kepted getting a failed sync alert. I then restored my I-Pod and tried to sync, but I keep getting the failed to start sync session message, and nothing is working. When I look on my I-Pod all my pictures are there, and I can see the lists of music and videos I have but they are faint and I cannot tap them to work. I don't know what to do now.

  • IPhone 4 Fails to Start Sync Wifi, Smart Playlists Won't Sync Wifi or Wired, and Missing Artwork iTunes Screensaver

    Hi all,
    I recently deleted a few gigs worth of photos off my iPhone 4.  Ever since I've been having trouble with a few things.  All software is up to date.  So far here are the things I've noticed that seem suspicious.
    iPhone fails to start sync using wifi.  It times out on Step 1 (starting sync) or Step 2 (backup).  I've tried closing and reopening iTunes, restarting the MBP and iPhone, and deleting my iPhone backup.  In some cases iTunes loses the connection to phone and won't come back.  It syncs fine using a USB cable, but won't get past step 2 using wifi.  I hate wires so I would prefer to do this over the air.
    My smart playlists no longer sync.  I've tried unchecking the boxes and selecting them again, but nothing.  Duplicating an exisitng smart playlist and selecting it to sync seems to have worked for now, but I'm concerned about now being able to add my original playlist.  Sounds like a larger issue to me.
    My iTunes screensaver on my MBP no longer displays artwork.  It says there is no artwork to display, but iTunes still has artwork in it.
    I've read numerous threads about all these issues.  I know there are many people out there having these problems.  I just haven't found a good solution for any of them.  Everything was working beautifully until I tried to clean up some old stuff on my phone.  Apple is playing dumb according to the people that have contacted them. 
    I'm running:
    OSX Lion 10.7.4
    iTunes 10.6.3
    iOS 5.1.1
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Just nudging this one back to the top in case anyone has some input.

  • HT1386 computer says it cannot start sync session when I plug in my ipad

    I am trying to back up my ipad so I can restore it. It keeps freezing and quitting on me. I went to sync it and the computer keeps coming up with the message that it cannot sync because the sync session did not start. help!!!!

    You might have an app that is corrupt or that's causing problems. Try cloaking all of your apps, reboot the iPad again, get a fresh start and see if the freezes and crashes let up.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Closes all of your apps like this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Starting Sync Problem?

    I just downloaded WhatsApp on my laptop and I cant get it to start syncing with my Ipod touch.. it says "failed to start syncing" and I've tried clicking and dragging the app and syncing with all the apps ticked... Help please?

    Over a year ago the Whatsapp was updated and that updated dropped support for iPods.  It is iPhone only. The older version continued to work with iPods with iOS 4.X but does not work with iOS 5

  • HT1386 I am getting a message that says, "Failed to sync because the sync session failed to start?"  Any solutions?

    My wife dropped her iPad2 last week.  Since then one of her apps is not working correctly so I thought that I would sync the iPad because it has been a while.  When I plugged it in to my desktop computer through USB, I got the message "Failed to sync because the sync session failed to start."  I have never seen that message before and I am not sure what I can do now to sync my wife's iPad.  Any suggestions and/or help would be appreciated.

    I realize your device is different, but the solution will probably be identical. Read this thread:

    ...and follow the instructions later in the discussion.

    What are you trying to sync?
    I see you are on ios 7.
    I also had upgraded my iPad Mini to ios 7 & then the 1st time I tried to open a Numbers file that was set up to sync w my MacBookPro, I got a warning that I would not be able to sync it any more w my Mac until I upgraded to Mavericks.
    So if you are trying to sync Numbers, Pages or Keynote files between your iPad mini in ios 7 and a Mac that hasn't been upgraded to Mavericks that could be the problem.
    I was very shocked to get that message since I bought Numbers on the iPad so that I could have a particular file on both devices & keep them synced. I had no clue when I upgraded to ios 7 on the iPad Mini that it would make it so the files in the iWorks apps woudln't sync any more.
    So I finally decided to go ahead & upgrade to Mavericks after carefully preparing & updating other software so that it would work w Mavericks. But I got error messages so haven't even been able to download Mavericks & now having 2nd thoughts about doing so.

  • HT1386 itunes comes up with message "the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" no matter what i do it wont sync it

    when ever i try to sync my phone itunes comes up with this message. this iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start. how do i fix this?

    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.

  • HT1386 sync session failed to start

    I have synced my iphone with my computer a number of time.  Currently trying to sync the iphone with my computer and get an error, "could not be synced because the cync session failed to start.  Any explanation on what could have cause this problem?

    'sync session failed to start' is almost always a USB issue. Try different USB ports on the computer (one in the back if it's a desktop), try a different USB cord if you've got one. make sure you have the latest version of itunes and that there's no debris in any of your ports including on the phone itself
