New iPad Mini sync Failed to Start in iTunes

I got a iPad Mini for Christmas and I set it all up that day. I connected it to my Macbook Pro days later and it is telling me the sync failed to start. Both devices are updated to the most recent software. My iPhone can connect to iTunes just fine. Why won't my iPad? I tried unplugging it and replugging it back in and turning it off and on. I tried restarting. I have looked on many questions and nothing seems to help. Thank you!

I restarted my ipad and it fixed it.. I am not sure what I did.

Sync failed to start w/ iTunes 10.7, iPod Touch 3rd gen

Since upgrading to iTunes 10.7 on Windows 7x64, I have had trouble getting my iPod Touch (3rd gen, 5.1.1) to sync. I am getting the message "sync failed to start". This happens with either WiFi or USB connection to the device. I know the iPod WiFi is working because the Remote app shows my iTunes library, fetches email, etc.
After installing iTunes 10.7, when I connected via USB, Windows tried to search for and install new drivers. After a very long delay, I canceled the search and continued using the existing drivers. I'm not sure if this is related.

I have resolved the problem by 'shutting down' my MacBook ('restarting' the computer was not sufficient to resolve it). While I was at it, I took the battery out briefly before rebooting – don't know if this made the difference, but I do know that Apple Tech Support have instructed me to remove the battery momentarily on previous occasions when resolving other issues with the computer. Anyway, either just shutting down (or shutting down + removing the battery) seems to have resolved the problem, as iTunes is once again recognising my iPod Touch and I'm able to sync again. Phew!

Ipad sync failed to start

iPad 2 sync fails to start every time even when cabled to my Macbook Pro. iPad 1 syncs without a problem to the same iTunes. Sync communication begins on iTunes and the spinning arrows appear on the iPad but it nevery moves onto step 2. I have tried deleting the backups but still have the same problem. This is after several months so simple restart or disconnect and reconnect fixes it.

HT4972 sync failed to start iOS 5.1.1

I can't seem to sync my iPad. I get an error message saying that the iPad sync failed to start. No error number.

With your ipad connected by cable to a usb port on your PC and iTunes open, attempt the sync, while it buffers, close iTunes - wait about 30 seconds then open it again.
Also check to see if you have any available downloads pending, Apps, purchases etc. from either iTunes or the Apps store. Make sure they complete first. If you are on Autosync turn it off - see in iTunes menu under Edit\Preferences\Devices - Prevent ipods, iphones and ipads from syncing automatically - tick the box. Close and re-open iTunes.
If still having problems we need to check that you have Apple's Application Management support installed, running and updated to the latest version, as well as the ipod device Service running in automatic startp mode. Both will cause sync failures if not correctly installed and configured.
Best regards, Ct

When syncing ipad to my itunes i get the message 'sync could not be finished because the sync failed to start' help!!

when syncing ipad to my pc's itunes i get the message 'sync cud not be finished as sync failed to start' help

So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID.

Sync session failed to start in iTunes after updated to iOS 7

Sync session failed to start in iTunes after updated to iOS 7

Restart your computer
While your computer is restarting, clear all of the applications from the background on your iPhone. You can do this by pushing the home button twice and swiping the programs off the screen by pushing them upwards.
After you are done doing that, restart your phone.
Wait about 10 seconds or so and turn your phone back on. By the time you get your phone back on your computer should be completly restarted and ready to go.
When your phone is back on, plug it into your computer. This should automatically bring up your Itunes, you may get another pop up that says autoplay, you can close that out. That's it. I hope it helps and good luck

HT1386 I am getting an error message that syncing failed to start. Any ideas why?

I am getting an error message that syncing failed to start. Any ideas why. The ipad is working fine.

Then I tried to download and install them again but it kept saying the old itunes could not be removed.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I get an error message that sync failed to start

When I try to sync my Ipod Touch it shows that it is waiting to sync but then I get an error message that sync failed to start. I have tried restore and re starting my computer but I still get the same message, what is going on and how do I fix it? Please help!

Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart your iPad and try again. If it doesn't work with a restart of the iPad, try a reset of the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Error message iPhone 5s could not be synced because the sync failed to start

My iPhone 5s will not sync i get the error message "iPhone 5s could not be synced because the sync failed to start"
running IOS 7.1.2
Macbook Pro running 10.9.4
iTunes 11.3.1.(2)
i did not load any new apps this just started. Thanks.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
