Initialize Sync - bad start!

Hi,
Not having the best of starts to this Webtools project!. The initial synch was running quite happily until our addon module license expired at the stroke of midnight!. The Synch manager had closed itself down by the time I came in today. Having checked through the webtools tables they did show that some data had been synched, but by no means all. Synch Manager logs showed numerous errors being reported when the license ran out, which is understandable as it lost its connection to the SAP db.
The new license file has been applied.
I had hoped it would be able to recover by clicking the Run Synch button, but this resulted in the log message:
DEFAULT sync in progress. Canceling new synch request.
Nothing actually started to happen on the B1 server or the Webtools server (task manager = 0 activity).
My next try was to retry the initialize Sync again:
initialize Sync
Clear Logs
Run Synch
Refresh logs
This showed the same log message as before, and again, no activity at all, although the tables that had been partially populated in the Webtools db had been cleared down.
The B1 queue is still populated.
It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction on how to successfully perform the initial synch again.
Thanks.

Thanks to miragejb on the old http://boug.us/forums .
I had to delete the lock file to be able to perform the initial synch again.

When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

Problem:
When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms:
1)   Sync: It’s not completing the sync. Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options. I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
backing up (step 2 of 7)
preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
importing photos (step 6 of 7)
waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
canceling sync
apple icon
2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone. All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto. All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list. If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes. But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
Other Potential Pertinent Info:
The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago). Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed. I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself. However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive. All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
Settings/Status:
MacBook Air
OSX v. 10.9
iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
iPhone iOS 7.0.4
iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
Summary Tab

You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

Waiting for sync to start bug?

I have a new iPod touch 32GB running iOS 6.1 and iTunes 11.0.1 running on my Dell Windows Vista Home Basic computer.
When I tried syncing my iPod today, iTunes started with a "Waiting for sync to start" message under the progress bar.
After about 2 minutes of the same message and no progress, iTunes came up with a error message stating:
"The iPod "My iPod" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
I have tried both syncing it over Wi-Fi and by cable.
Any ideas?

Fixed problem.
Frustrated, I turned my iPod off while connected to my computer via USB. After about a minute, I turned it back on for iTunes to detect it and start syncing. Surprisingly, it worked! iTunes begun to back up and sync all the new podcasts I wanted to put on.

IPhone 4s no longer syncs in iTunes with iOS 5.1 - "Waiting for sync to start..."

Anyone else having this issue after the update from iOS 5.0.1 --> iOS 5.1
itunes sees the iPhone 4s, however syncing just hangs at the "Waiting for sync to start..."
it eventually times out.
I tried via cable as well as over wifi

Since I attempted to sync this morning, I did not have a chance to troubleshoot more before work.
I will try the following later:
1) Turn off iDevice, restart PC, re-sync
2) Turn off iDevice, uninstall iTunes, restart PC, re-sync
3) Turn off iDevice, uninstall iTunes, restart PC, backup to iOS 5.0.1 & re-sync
4) Return iPhone to Sprint for another one.

Are you currently on ios 4? If so that's where the backup comes in. You'll need to restore your backup once the software is updated.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

I'm trying to sync more music onto my iPhone but it just says "Waiting for sync to start" and it won't go away or start the sync.

I've tried multiple things but I just cannot get the sync to start!

At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes. It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time. Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back.

Does anyone know what time the last episode of Breaking Bad starts streaming

Deos anyone know what time the last episode of Breaking Bad starts streaming on itunes?

A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.

Syncing problem, starts then stops... HELP!!!

I recently reformatted my hd and reinstalled itunes. Now, when i go to sync it starts as its supposed to but then immediately stops. I cant figure it out as Ive tried searching for solutions everywhere! I found people having the same problem but it was because they have windows vista 7.0 beta which seems to be their problem. I on the other hand do not have 7.0, i have 6.0 and have never had this problem before the reformat. My iphone is up to date as is my itunes. Please help! PLEASE!

If you watch the progress bar, does it stop during the backup (which comes first) or during the sync process (contacts, photos...)
If it stops right at the start, copy the backup folder located \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ to a save place. Then delete the backup in itunes/settings/devices and try again to sync.

IPod 4g "Waiting for sync to start" error

When trying to sync my ipod 4g to my itunes it gets stuck at Step 1, "Waiting for sync to start." I tried restarting my ipod, and even restored it, but still it gets stuck at the same point. Prior to this happening both my iTunes and iPod had been fully updated, and after the restore my iPod got re-updated. All of the settings I had previously were saved, and were re-added after my restore, yet when I try to put my music and apps back onto my iPod it gets stuck.

Is there any other fix?
I have the same problem with my iPhone 4S,
I go to sync it, and it stays at "waiting for sync to start" it'll stay there for up to 15-20min then I'll get this message from iTunes;
"the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"
I tried closing iTunes reconnecting my phone.
I've tried the tricks in the lin that Photojackson posted above ^
Nothing seems to work..
If I put my phone in DFU mode, I can get it to restore. It will restore just fine.
But once that's done, if I try to sync, it's back the the original "Waiting for sync to start" problem.
It's driving me insane!
ANY HELP??!?!?!?
Thanks.

Wating for Sync to start (taking forever).

I have an iPhone 5s working with ios8, I have a LapTop running in XP; I have been doing this for a long time and everything worked fine. Yesterday I tried to sync my phone but now I have just receiving the message " Waiting for Sync to start". I have been waiting for more than an hour and does not start. So I can not sync, nor backup neither. Last time I Sync and Backup was last sunday 26.
Any idea?

Hi Chris,
Sorry for the delay, I did EVERYTHING you told me to do, that is, I validate the driver were installed and the services were running, and they were running as you said.
So, I went to part two, I backed up my iTunes Library and I removed iTunes following the document you told me and I get it from apple support page (as you said). I validate the programs and files were not in my computer anylonger after they were removed.
I downloaded the iTunes software and installed iTunes once again, ALL MY MUSIC, MY BOOKS, MY PODCAST, MY PICTURES, EVERYTHING was there again (as the document said).
BUT, I tried again to Sync my iPhone and ... THE SAME thing is happening "Waiting for Sync to Start".
There is a program inside iTunes in Tab HELP / Run Diagnostics I ran it and EVERYTHING PASSED, even the Sync test, so, THIS IS VERY STRANGE.
Thanks a lot for ALL THE INFORMATION you gave me, really I APPRECIATE all your time and knowledge, but, SORRY I have NO IDEA what I am doing wrong.
Fernando.

Ford sync not starting music player on Droid Razr Maxx

I have basic sync in my 2011 F-150 and with my old Incredible I was able to start the music player using sync as long as I had Bluetooth turned on. Now I have the Droid Razr Maxx and to play music I have to manually start the music player to get it to work. Does anyone know if this is just how it has to be or is there a way to get Sync to start the music player on my Droid Razr?
