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:

When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

Glad you found the answer. But something seems wrong. FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive. It's not advisable, but it should be possible. You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

IF you are not able to resolve your issue then contact Apple Support at https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do?caller=ikb&PRKEYS=PL220,1316 29,PL113,PL302,PF3,PF4,PF9,PL303,PL339,p…
hopefully they can help. You may also be interested to know that for some reason it is just not available to a lot of people at the same time. Appears to be an issue of more users than their servers can handle. Has happened periodically for at least 6 months that I know of but apparently users are able to use within several days if there are no other issues with the users device.

Iphoto - trying to update iphoto to current ver. i get a message that says it cannot update because "file is not in orginal location"

Hi,
Ive moved my iphoto library to an external drive and it seems to be working fine launches from the external drive etc,
I then updated iphoto to iphoto 11 and then attempted to update to the current version either 9.3 or 9.4 i dont recall - whatever the updated version is.
I get a message that tells me that it cannot update because "file is not in original location"
Im not sure which file or which location is being referred to here.
im sure ive done something but cant seem to recall what that might have been...
im a little puzzled though since it still launches etc.
any help would be appreciated. (2007 imac)
thx

"file is not in original location"
Is that the exact error message? When do you get this error? will your iPhoto library work properly withou the update?

Trying to restore my iPhone 4s from a previous backup and I keep getting a message that says "not enough room on the iPhone". Help!

I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s settings from a previous backup and now I'm getting a "not enough room on the iPhone" message. This is very frustrating. How can I fix this?

If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your data is unrecoverable.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

HT203390 when I try and sync my ipad 2 with my new XPS laptop i get a message that says "attempting to copy to the disk os failed." what should I do to sync my ipad?

when I try synching my ipad 2 with my xps laptop i get the following message. "Attempting to copy to the disk os failed." How do I resolve the problem?

It would be useful to you if they had a different name, but the computer knows they are different. Create separate sync playlists for each device and go to the Music tab when it is connected and specify which playlist should be used for the sync.

I keep getting a message that says "Firefox.exe – application error The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000417) occurred in the application at location 0x78579231" and when i click ok it closes my firefox window.

I've already tried uninstalling firefox and then reinstalling it. (i've done this twice but it still keeps giving me this message.

Please reinstall Firefox as follows: 
#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download a fresh installation file ''to the desktop'' using IE8. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Next, reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

I can't access the internet from my home wi-fi. It works on other wi-fi, and my wi fi is working on my h ome computer. I keep getting a message that says it can't access the server

I can't access the internet using my home wi-fi. My wi-fi is working on my home computer, and the itouch can access the internet at another person's home using their wi-fi. I've looked in the settings, and can't seem to see any differences.....i'm a techno dummy - so please respond in very basic info

Before resetting try restarting. Or you can go to Settings from the home screen > Wi-Fi > your network and scroll down to 'Renew Lease' and press that. When you do you should see a button labeled 'Renew Lease?' and another labeled 'Cancel'. Select 'Renew Lease'.
You can either back out of that screen back to the home screen or just use the return button to go back to the home screen. Then select Safari and see if you can hook in.
I have to go through that process every five or ten minutes or so when in the second story of our house - weak router signal up there.
