HT1386 i'm receiving error message; "The iPhone "___" could not be synched beacuse the sync session failed to start."
this is continually happening. This iPhone 4 had corporate information on it. When I left the company on Monday, they remote-wiped the phone. I knew this would happen. Now I can't sync it at all!!!
I started from "new" and attempted to rebuild from scratch.
USB not working properly
WiFi not working properly
iCloud brought most apps back
iTunes brought most apps back
I'm using:
iTunes v10.6.3.25
iOS: 5.1.1
it all appears to be 'ok' then i spend an hour arranging the way-too-many apps--then i get the error that the iPhone will not start the session.
I do NOT get the circular arrows indicating sync on the phone
iTunes DOES attempt to talk to the phone (so it appears in the top dialog bar)
How to I force the session to start?
Thx, Frustrated in Miami -- (this is not a time to talk to Apple with the iPhone 5 craziness!)
This may help you

I am having trouble dating to version 3.6.14 or updating to the Beta testing. I am running Linux/Ubutu OS and I get this error message:/tmp/p7x3vko2.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Please help. Thank you , Deb
Solved for me.
I set the owner/permissions of my profile's mozilla folder's (and all the files in it) to read/write access, and the problem disappeared.
in linux:''
* cd /home/myusername/.mozilla
* chown -cR myusername:mygroup ./
* chmod -cR +rw ./

My nano will no longer sync to itunes. I tried to restore it and error message 1437 said it could not be restored. Any thoughts on how I can sync or restore?
Good day billoelwein,
If you are having an issue with your iPod nano being unable to restore, you may want to first try resetting the iPod. See the directions in this article -
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
If the issue is still present after a reset, you may need to restore your iPod nano back to factory settings. See this article -
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

The iPhone name could not be updated because the firmware is not compatib
I have a 3gs with ios4.0 on it and when i try to install the 4.0.1 update i get the "firmware is not compatible" error. Any thoughts?
I tried "Download Only" next, and was surprised that the download completed within only a couple of seconds. Suspecting a different underlying cause, I disconnected from my company's VPN and retried the download. Voila, the actual download started and completed in 9 minutes for 378MB. The subsequent install via Update button on the iPhone screen then succeeded.

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

When I sync my iPhone with iTunes I get an error message that says "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" How do I fix this?
I had the same problem. I found this site http://itprokb.blogspot.com/2010/10/itunes-could-not-sync-calendars-to.html
It worked for me. Good luck! -
after itunes installation an error message is shown, (itunes could not connect to the iphone, because it is locked with a passcode, you must enter your passcode on your iphone before it can be used with itunes)
Hi ..
Follow the instructions here > iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode -
My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?
Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article. -
I am getting an error message when trying to sync to my PC that says "The Iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" what setting is messed up?
The way I fixed this (though I'm using a iTouch 4G): disconnect your iPhone from the computer, shut down iTunes, then reset your iPhone by holding the Power/Sleep & Home buttons together for 10 seconds. Restart iTunes, then when your iPhone restarts, reconnect it to the computer, and everything should work fine

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. -

When trying to restore or update my Iphone 4 it errors out with message:..."could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible." How do I resolve this?
Ask him if he has 'jailbroken' the ipod touch. Some jailbreaking firmware resets it to Ipad firmware and so it is very difficult to restore as itunes simply doesnt recognise it for what it is. It's Apple's solution to try and stop mass jailbreaking.

How do I fix the following error? itunes counld not back up the iphone because the back up could not be saved on the computer?
I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
"iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items. -
