I have said that usually means the servers have detected a jailbroken iPhone
and will not activate as Apple does not support JB ..................not a lot you can do
Have you just purchased the iPhone secondhand if so get your money back

I get this when trying to update my iPhone: "could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." Have lost many apps and date. Hope it's not permanent.

Help?

I know you said everything is up to date, but just to make sure....iTunes is at least 10.5, right?
Have you tried resetting sync history? (Edit>Preferences>Device>Reset Sync History: It won't delete any of your information)
Also, you can run a iTunes diagnostics test just to make sure everything passes.
I would also try to backup your back up files on an external drive (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529) and delete the backups in your system, to see if anything in there was stopping the syncs from going through?

HT201242 Why is error messag (the ipad could not be synced because the sync session failed to start) what should I do

Please help me with this

Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes. If not update and then try again. Of you still receive this error then attempt to backup the iPad. Then perform a restore from the backup.
The only time I have received this error was because iTunes was not updated to the most recent release.

I am getting an error message that my Iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

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

I had the same problem with my iPad 2. Tried everything suggested by others but nothing worked. Finally this is what solved it.
1) Eject and unplug iPad. Restart MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8). Update iTunes to version 10.6.3 via Apple/ Software update.
2) Plug in iPad. Start iTunes (obviously 'failed to sync' message will appear). Select device on iTunes. On Summary page do a restore of iPad. It will ask you if you want to backup your iPad. Choose to backup. You will need a fast internet connection because it will update the iPad software to the latest version before restoring.
3) Choose to restore from backup.
4) Finally do a sync.
This worked for me finally after a day of trying all other methods.

When I connect my iPhone 4S to my MacBook Pro, the synchronization process by iTunes failed with the following message "My iPhone could not be synchronized, because the synchronization process has not started". What does that mean?

Hello,
When I connect my iPhone 4S to my MacBook Pro (through the USB port), the synchronization process by iTunes failed with the following message "My iPhone could not be synchronized, because the synchronization process has not started".
What does that mean?
Thanks in advance for fixing my problem.

I think I remember hearing that if you quit iTunes with your device still connected, then open iTunes up again, it should work.

Syncing photos via iTunes - getting new error message" "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost"

I am trying to sync photos in a dedicated file on my desktop with the photo library on my iPhone 4S. Something I have done many times before.
Since upgrading to iTunes 11 I get this message "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost" midway through the sync. I do not understand this as I am syncing via the USB lead, so how can the connection be lost?
Bascially I just want to update the photos on my iPhone with new photos I have added to the file I use on my computer.
Any help or ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks.

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.

Unable to update. Receiving message: The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware is not compatible.

I'm trying to update my iPhone but am receiving this message: The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware is not compatible.

You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
See all worldwide telephone support numbers
Contact a mobile carrier
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.
Good luck & happy computing!

"There is a problem with the Windows Installer package.

Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.

That is almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

What action dom i take for this error message "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\physics.pdf could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences"?

This is a new error. There used to be no problem.

Do you have any setting for MP3 in Tools > Options > Applications ?
You usually need the QuickTime plugin to play MP3 files on Windows because that is the only plugin that supports that file extension if there is no MIME type specified to play the file with another plugin like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.
