IPhone 4 on iOS5 sync fail.

What's happening is that it is going through steps 1 to 6, but then getting stuck on step 7 saying "waiting for items to copy" and it never finishes. Then I am forced to eject it. Any tips?

Did you by any chance sync the phone to a different computer that uses a different Apple ID?

  • Iphone to itunes sync fail during step 3

    HI I uprgraded my Iphone to the new ios 8 and now I cant sync it anymore.
    The fail occurs during step 3 when it is transferring purchased apps.
    The error text reads "The Iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone"
    It then says "To authorize the computer for items purchased from the Itunes store, choose store > authorize this computer".
    I have tried this multiple times, even unathorized it to authorize it again.
    This Iphone still has some items under the previous owners apple ID, I dont know which ones have crossed over until it comes to app update time when it tells me.
    I have been systematically deleting them one by one as they appear then downloading the app again from the app store under my apple ID.
    Is this the correct thing to do or is this possibly why my sync is failing?

  • IPhone 4 iOS5 sync problem

    I recently installed iOS5 and so far everything has worked as described albeit a little slower, however I have an issue with the sync. The phone tells me after the completed sync that
    "37 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information".
    When I look to iTunes for answers there is no indication of what the problem is. I am guessing it is music because the tunes in my library on the phone are not playing. All that happens is they sit. I know the speakers work because movies and radio play just fine, it is only library music.
    Can anyone help? has anyone else experienced this?
    cheers,
    Troyman

    I have exactly the same problem. it took quite awhile to sync music and apps correctly (multiple shut-downs and restarts) and now everything is finally syn'ed - except the artwork is wrong on the iPhone only. iTunes is okay. Waiting for helpful answers myself.

  • Editing mp3s on iPhone then re-syncing: FAIL

    Hello, I have a number of mp3 karaoke tracks on my iPhone. I edited some on my PC (removed the first few seconds of silence) and on attempting to sync with my iPhone, only some edited tracks are accepted, others remaining as before, i.e. with the period of silence at the start of the track (2-15 secs as is common with such tracks). Interestingly, it allowed the syncing of one complete playlist from iTunes but not two others of the same size. Any ideas appreciated? Thanks, Mike

    I'm not understanding your question -- restore your iPhone from what? If you have pictures already on your phone that you want to protect (and/or remove from your phone) you can import them from the phone to a computer. That is a good idea in any event as there are a number of ways the photos on your phone can be lost (loss of the phone itself, hardware problem, software glitch, etc.).

  • Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open

    Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open. Brand new are there any upates I am unaware of?

    "sync" fails to open?  Do you mean, iTunes?
    If you manually open iTunes, does your iPhone show up in the left column?
    If so...
    Click on your iPhone in the left column of iTunes.
    Click on the "Summary" tab in the right colum of iTunes.
    Scroll down to "Options"
    Select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected"
    Apply
    My apologies if I misunderstood the question.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • TS4062 I am getting error msg when trying to sync-iPhone could not sync because the sync session failed

    I am trying to sync my iPhone and receiving the following message:  iPhone could not sync because the sync session failed
    I have tried walking through the set ups again, and cannot figure this out.  Any help out there?  Thank you.

    I seemed to have figured it out...... I hard reset my Iphone and rebooted my computer and it seemed to work. It also seemed there was a music file that was not being recognized, I just erased it and everything worked fine after that.... very strange but I am so glad I figured it out.....
