IPhone 5 Restore: 'Pairing record is missing' error

Hello,
I backed up my iPhone 5 this morning as I was getting it replaced due to Scuffgate, I linked my new phone with iTunes and it seemed everything was fine until and error message appears reading: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because the pairing record is missing"
My phone then disappears on iTunes, however on inspection of my phone it seems it worked. I was wondering is this an error due to the phone being different from the one I backed up? If so is this normal and nothing to worry about?
I would test if it restores with a new back up file however it would mean putting in all the passwords again etc anyone else had this issue/experience?

Try rebooting your computer.

  • IPhone Restore + Pairing record missing.. HELP!!!

    I restored my iPhone 4S and when it restarted, I got an error message stating "iTunes could not connect "iphone" because pairing record is missing"... I have restarted my computer numerous times and reinstalled my itunes twice. My iphone is now blank and won't connect... PLEASE HELP

    I had the same problem (pairing record missing) and was finally able to fix it. My host computer is a Windows 7 64-bit setup. I kept reading where others solved the problem by eliminating the Lockdown folder, but I couldn't find that folder in Windows. But it was there in the following location:  C:\ProgramData\Apple\Lockdown. After closing iTunes, I simply renamed the Lockdown folder to Lockdown.old and restarted iTunes. I then plugged in my iPhone USB connection and it worked. (Changing the folder name required Administrator privilige.)

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Why am I getting error msg: Pairing Record is Missing?

    I have been syncing my iPhone with my Win7 PC for several weeks now, but I am suddenly getting the error message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because the pairing record is missing".  What does this mean, and why has it occurred?  I've rebooted both my PC and the iPhone several times, with no luck.  Just a few hours ago I successfully synced, and nothing's been changed on either device, but now I cannot sync.  Thank you.

    Do this:
    Unplug your iPhone from your computer
    Tap on the iTunes app
    Scroll down to the bottom
    Tap on your AppleID
    Sign out
    Sign back in
    Plug your iPhone back into your computer
    Your iPhone should now be recognized by iTunes.

  • TS3212 iTunes can't connect with iPhone because the pairing record is missing

    I have been having a lot of trouble with iTunes on Windows XP. I have had to completely uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, iPod, Apple Mobile Support, Apple Application Support, etc. and reinstall iTunes several times just to get to this point: now when I connect my iPhone using USB, I get the error message:
    'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "John L. Mohammed"  because the pairing record is missing.'
    What is this about? What can I do about it?
    It should be noted that the latest attempt to install iTunes does not seem to have installed QuickTime, though it does not complain about missing software.

    Try disconnecting your phone from your computer, quit iTunes, connect you phone to your computer again, the re-launch iTunes.

  • Error:  "pairing record is missing"

    When i try to set up and sync with itunes i get "itunes cannot connect to ipod because pairing record is missing"
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Ted

    I got the same error tonight.
    Was having some odd problems with my iPod touch (16GB, v1.1.3 with January software upgrade) occasionally changing the date and time to Dec. 31, 1969, also getting stuck in caps lock mode, so I decided to restore.
    First attempt at a restore failed. Second attempt looked like it succeeded, with a message that came up after the firmware restore that said the iPod would reappear in iTunes after it finished restarting. After a long wait, the iPod restarted with the "connect to iTunes" image, then went black. A short time later, a window popped up with the message about the missing pairing record.
    Two, three or four attempts at disconnecting and reconnecting the cable all resulted in the same error message. I started writing this post, in fact, to report I was stuck with the same unusable iPod, when I reconnected the cable to make sure I had the wording of the error message correct.
    Wouldn't you know? It connected just fine, asked me if I wanted to restore my settings and at the moment is syncing back all my music and movies. I'll return here if I see any more problems, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all's well.

  • ITunes cannot connect to iPhone because pairing record missing

    I was able to connect my iPhone to iTunes once and was able to sync. Now i recieve a message saying: iTunes cannot connect to my iPhone because the pairing record is missing. What do I do?

    BPH108,
    I had the same exact issue. What solved this for me was to unplug my phone, shut down ITunes, shutdown my phone (Not just shut down but hold the home and lock button until it shuts off), start my phone back up and start ITunes back up. Then when I plugged my phone back in it worked like a charm!
    Hope this helps!
