I cannot sync other phone after transferring phone number

I just upgraded my 4S to an i5 and had the 4S number transferred to another phone number on my account. The 4S works but I cannot get it synced with itunes....getting error message that "could not be synced because sync session failed to start".....any ideas????

To Spacemarine288:
This is Janathon and I don't know how to cancel the question: before restoring to factory setting suggested I first restarted the computer and then reopened itunes and it worked, had it not I surely would have done as suggested..thank for such a quick response.

I CANNOT change my phone number setting to an sms capable number to set-up keychain.. I have tried everything. I am on a Mac OSX, Mavericks upgrade and an iPhone 5. My mobile is set to @icloud and my mac is stuck set on @me and there aren't any options for changing either my phone number, account, details or anything. I simply want to set-up keychain and receive an sms to my mobile and not to my sms non-compatible home phone number. Any help sooo appreciated.

On your Mac, Sign Out of iCloud, then Sign In with the ID you want to use.

Cannot sync my phone to my PC :-(

Hello guys, I was able to successfully update my BlackBerry Curve 3G phone from version 5 to version 6. I love the new version of the BlackBerry OS. I was able to sync it using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. However recently I'm encountering issues whenever I try to plugin my phone to my computer. Before when I plug it in, I receive a popup that asks me if I am going to charge the phone, sync it or use as a mass storage device. Now, I don't see that message or that popup. It only charges the phone and that's it. The BlackBerry Desktop manager says it's not connected. I even tried connecting the phone via Bluetooth, still no luck. I have tried to uninstall all of the USB devices using the Device Manager as well as installing the USB Drivers from the BlackBerry / RIM website. Still, I can't sync my phone. It just charges it. Btw, I don't see a "BlackBerry" device inside the Device Manager window. I tried using a different laptop, it only charges the phone and I receive a message "USB Device Not recognized." I tried uninstalling the Desktop Manager, USB Drivers fomr the RIM website and uninstalling all of the USB devices. Then after restarting the compute,r I decided to reinstall the Desktop Manager and the USB drivers from the RIM website. Still again, no luck. I can't sync my phone using both computers. Btw, my first computer cannot recognize the phone, it just charges it but it does not show a "USB Device not recognized." message. I'm thinking this issue happened after updating the BlackBerry System Software to a minor version via Desktop Manager. Becuase a few days ago I as able to use it to my computer. It's version 6.0.xxx something. Guys please help me out. I tweeted BlackBerry and they told me to contact my carrier. My Dad bought the phone from Abu Dhabi without any subscription to a specific carrier. So guys, how can I sync my files? I even tried on using the "calfix.exe" that connects the computer to the bootrom something of my BlackBerry phone but still It does not detect the phone. Thanks in advance and please help me out.

Hi iAMJuanKarlo,
First make sure you have the most recent version of Desktop Software installed. If you do and are still having the same issue on 2 separate PCs it looks like a device issue.
Do you have a recent backup of your BlackBerry? You may want to try a clean reload of device software if the Update Software feature in the Desktop Software can connect to the device. If its unable to detect the device, try the following to reinstall the device software.
First, make sure the device software is installed on your PC. You can download it from your wireless provider's download site in this list: http://bit.ly/cukObT
1. Remove the battery from the BlackBerry. Do not re-insert.
2. Connect the BlackBerry to the computer.
3. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and launch Loader.exe
4. Click Next. The Communication Port Selection screen appears.
5. Click Next. The connection should change from COM to USB-PIN or USB-PIN Unknown.
6. The Application Selection screen appears. Select the applications you want from the list of applications.
7. Click Next then Click Finish.
8. When the application load starts, insert the battery into the BlackBerry smartphone.
You will then need to restore your personal data from a previously taken backup file as this procedure will remove all personal data.

I cannot sync my phone because my device is locked and the screen is broken. how can i get around this?

My screen on my iPhone 5s 16g has broken and i just received a new one in the mail. i want to sync my old phone to iTunes so i can restore my new one, but cannot sync do to the fact that my screen is broken and i am unable to unlock the phone… how can i get around this?

You don't. If you use a 3rd party to "fix it" or attempt to do it yourself, Apple will reject the return and charge you the full price of the phone as if you had not returned it at all.
It's too late. You should have been backing up before it failed.

Cannot sync old phone info to 4s

I have gone through a 3s and two 4's without any trouble syncing the previous phones data. Though with the new iphone 4s i cant seem to sync the information (contacts and notes are my prioity) from my previous phones. unfortunatly both my iphone 4's were stolen and when i went to restore old information on my 4S it just restored itself to how it is now. Im on the same computer i was when syncing all the other phones, so im hoping that the old back up are still on the computer and that itunes didnt just screw me over. If there any help at all, its much appreciated, the notes on the iphones were very important to me = <

By reading the support document that you linked to the forum with. Backup old device, activate new device, restore from backup of old device on new device.

Tried downloading itunes version 11.4 and received an error code 2324. Now itunes will not work at all and I cannot sync my phone, ipad or ipod. How should I proceed?

I have tried several times to load version 11.4 and keep getting an error code2324, now I cannot sync any of my apple products. I set my machine to a previous recover date, now iTunes will not work at all. I get a message stating I do not have the administrator rights to download. Any thoughts on this issue?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I recently purchased an iphone 4S. I cannot sync it to my computer. I updated the ram to 1 GB and the os to snow leopard 10.6. I have tried everything and still cannot sync my phone to my computer

I updated my os to snow leopard v10.6 to be able to sync my new iphone 4 S. I also updated my ram to 1 GB to support the new software. I still cannot sync my iphone 4 S. I have tried everything to no avail. Any suggestions?

Update iTunes, too.

TS4062 i cannot sync my phone with itunes because my software is 10.5.8 so new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync iphone to my mac?

i cannot sync my iphone with itunes because my software is too old- 10.5.8. The new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync my iphone to my mac?

You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; once it's installed, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences twice.
There is no other way to sync it, but content can be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store servers; for non-purchased music, this requires signing up for iTunes Match, which costs more than the DVD.

Cannot Sync I phone

Cannot Sync Iphone and cannot connekt to App Store

Does it hang halfway through? If this is your problem, I have an answer for you (given by wiclee, he's amazing.)
First of all close iTunes and it's helper process (May have to force quit using taskmgr)
Then
Click: Start> More Programs> Accessories> Command Prompt (right click and run as Administrator.)
Type the following:
netsh winsock reset
A dialogue box should appear
"Windows Network Catalogue successfully reset"
"Please restart your computer for changes to take effect."
Restart computer and then go to iTunes.
Everything should work from there.

Cannot sync iphone 4 after iOS 5 update

I get an error saying that sync session failed to finish. I have tried only syncing apps and every other suggestion I could find but still cannot sync. Anyone know a solution?

My best suggest is with error 1 is to make sure that your security software on your comptuer is temporarily disabled. That's very common with itunes restore errors- and more specifically with that errror code. If you can't get it to restore after disabling it...you can try another computer to restore and then bring it back to your original comptuer to sync or restore from you backup.
All else fail with that contact Apple Technical support at 1-800-694-7466 With further instructions. But they will definitely ask you about that security software....
