  • When syncing I receive a message "could not be synced because sync session failed to start"

    When syncing I receive a message "could not be synced because sync session failed to start".  I am using the latest iTunes and also phone is on latest version.

    I'm wondering whether you're using the latest iTunes or not. If you're using the latest iTunes and still face the issue, then you should restart both your computer and your iPhone to make sure the sync process go on properly.

  • First sync attempt after updating to newest version last week, now telling me that "could not be synced because sync session failed to start"... help?

    I updated my iPod Touch last week, and now I went to sync it with some new music on my computer and I get the message that "could not be synced because sync session failed to start". This is obviously the first step in the process and has never been a message I have received through owning the original iPod, the iPod 2G, and the iPod Touch 2G and now 4G. Any ideas? Common problem?

    Thanks. I couldn't find it previously, but once I asked the question officially it popped up in the suggested answers box on the side. Could not, then, figure out how to delete this comment! Ha. Appreciate you taking the time to point it out though, thanks!

    Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
    Maybe you should get new friends.
    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
    iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

    Make sure you don't have Restrictions enabled under Settings/General. If it's enabled, you might need to restart your phone afterwards.

  • The iPad could not be synced because sync session failed to start.

    I looked through the discussions and couldn't find an answer. I have the latest iOS (5.1.1) and iTunes (10.6.3). My other iOS devices sync fine. I have a MacBook Pro Mid-2010 edition running OS X Mountain Lion (in case this info is needed). I tried doing a soft and hard reset on the iPad, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and disabling Sync Over WiFi. I don't want to do a restore because then nothing I got on the iPad would be synced with iTunes to get everything back! I don't know what the problem is! Please help!

    What the **** is wrong with you?
    So "rebooting" (it's actually  called resetting and refers to the device, not the PC, Mr. IT) works, but one is not supposed to suggest it as a possible troubleshooting procedure?
    The reason "try again" the sync was suggested is because this specific error message is usually generated when the iDevice starts the sync process before iTunes is ready, or vice versa. This might happen when iTunes is on a computer in sleep mode, or the device had Wi-Fi turned off to conserve power.
    Both resolutions are platform agnostic.

  • What could be the reason when to get sync session failed to start message. I have upgrades to IOS5 but seemed to have no problems

    I had upgraded nearly 1,5 month ago to IOS 5.0.1 and seemed to have no problems during the process (all my aps and books retored fine).
    However suddenly today i-tunes says it can't be synchronizes (starting 1/7) because sync session failed to start.
    I've tried also with WiFi sync but was always trying to restart syncronization.
    I've runned the i-tunes diagnostic for sync and said it passed.
    Could be H/W problem with my ipad?
    Thanks

  • Sync problem on iPhone4 IOS5 and iTunes 10.5: Sync service failed to start

    After painful upgrade to IOS 5.0 on my iPone 4 which suffer from er 3014 unt I do full restore in other computer. Now two new problems cropped up again:
    A.
    When I sync IPhone with iTunes, the sync process started and freeze at "waing f sync service to start" and for 5 minutes or so, it end up with a dialog stated that the iPhone could not be synced because sync service failed to start
    To remedy, I have to click t start Sync again, and thios time, it will be completed.
    To solve tjhis, I have done the following, and the probelm still persist:
    a. Reinstal,l to repair iTunes
    b. Delete the Lockup folder
    c. Reset sync history
    d. reboot iPhone
    All cannot solve the problem. Help please, how to solve this problem?
    Also, when I backup my iPhone, it freeze at "Backing up iPhone" fr about 10-15 minutes, then start backup, until nearly finished, then it restart backup process again by itself, and again, freezing at "Backing up iPhone" for another 5 minutes, then it start backup and complete. I check the backup time in Preferences, it's correct.
    To solve this, I delete the backup, and start new backup, the process went OK. But when I start backup again, the above symptom (backing up, and restart backup again to complete) persist
    I have quite a rough experiences with iTunes-iPhone-iPad sync and backup all the times. Can the sync and backup process mad better and real trouble free Apple?
    Help and suggestion please. I sync iPhone and iPad2 with WIndow XP PC. iPad2 do not have problem. The problem is with iPhone4 IOS 5 32 GB (less than 2 GB free space on iPhone remains)

    I have very similar problems with my brand new iPhone and iTunes.  iTunes is virtually unusable even after multiple installs, uniinstalls, and reinstalls. Sync fails silently. Drop-down menus won't stay visible long enough to click any options.   Phone-support blames it on the fact that I use Windows XP however the iTunes page says right there: "iTunes 10.5 for Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7".  The only program I have problems with is iTunes.
    He said I have to revert to iOS 4 but he also said he thought that was impossible.  What does the OS on my phone have to do with the behavior of iTunes running on my computer?  iTunes crashed and had failures both before and after I updated to iOS 5.  Typical bad tech support just like every other company.  I thought Apple was different. Apple really stepped in it this time and it stinks.  I've seen a huge number of new problem reports here and elsewhere.

  • Itunes could not sync calenders to the iphone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone. Why not??

    This is the message I get when trying to sync.
    "itunes could not sync calenders to the iphone because the sync server failed to sync with the iphone."
    WHY NOT?

    I'm having exactly the same probs with iphone and ipad, synching to Outlook.
    Both used to work fine, and now getting the same message, with conflicts in Contacts and Calendar - it's sending me round the bend.
    Did you ever get an answer from anybody - don't seem to be able to find one, even though clearly we're not alone with the problem!?
