Iphone 5s wont sync or backup with mac after 8.1.2

Hello,
As you can read from the title, my iPhone 5s wont sync or even backup with my mac after the new update of iOS 8.1.2
Have the latest iOS and the latest iTunes. Also, my mac is running Yosemite.
Tried with different cables (all of them original) and over Wi-Fi, always stuck with the same message:
"The iPhone ... could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"
I already try turning off and on, soft reset, hard reset, closing all the apps in background...
Please help....

Shadowolf91,
The article linked below details how to go about backing up, then deleting your existing backups in iTunes, as these can prevent successful syncs and backups.

Iphone ISO7 wont sync to itunes with OS X 10.5.8

After installing ISO7 via wifi onto my phone the other day I thought I best sync it to my computer to update everything. Now it wont sync due to it needing itunes11.1 minimum???
Other threads have said you need Leopard 10.6 to sync but have to buy it!!!! No way in **** should I (or any member of public) have to pay because apple updated there software. Thats a grade 1 joke!!! If thats the case i'd rather have ISO6 back as it was better looking in any case.
I havent obviously connect it to itunes as im unable so im thinking if I whipe my phone and reconnect it to itunes as a new phone it may just install the old itunes from backup and all be ok but anyone have any suggestions on how else to get over this without paying more into the apple pocket???????

Is your problem that you do not see your iPod in iTunes? If that is the case try these:

Also, make sure you update to the latest iTunes and Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is now up to 10.6.5 and you said you only have 10.6.3.

Iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone.

My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
I already restored it but that didn't help.
TIA for any replies.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

No, there is not yet a way to do that. Albums created on the iPhone cannot be synced back to the mac.
You might try other ways to send photos back to the mac in a structured way, depending on your IOS version:
You could use Journals instead of albums. If you share a Journal, you can see it on your Mac. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3152
Or create shared photo streams. iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams

my iphone calendar wont sync with my outlook calendar. My inbox seems to be syncing just fine, its just that my iphone calendar is not showing the same events i have in outlook.

Hi
I have the a similar problem - only I can't actually get the calendar to show up. I've added the account and it's showing Mail and Notes but not Calendar. But I'd like it to show the outlook calendar.
I'm going to
Go to settings > mail contacts calendar
select your account that's affected
But under that account there isn't a calendar showing and I can't see any options to add it?

Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

Does anyone know why my iphone 4s wont sync with my itunes

What year and model?
I own a 2007 GL with an iPod adapter. My iPhone couldn't charge or play music through the adapter until the 2.1 update. After a complete new restore of my iPhone, the iPhone's music will play, however, as I expected it will not charge. Regarding BT through the MHI Puck, the iPhone will sync the Contacts & Call Lists, I now have full control through the steering wheel controls, and sound is much better than the 2.0.x FW. Through the 2.1 update, I effectively had reset all network and BT connections; be sure to reset all of your settings on the iPhone and re-pair it again, if you use a BT MHI Puck. And, be sure to wait a bit - the first pairing took about 3 minutes, the subsequent pairings are complete in about 20 seconds.
Not available on this side of the pond (yet, AFAIK), MBZ has an iPhone 3G cradle adaptor for a lot of the newer MBZ vehicles (sadly, not the GL). Mercedes' part number is 204 820 23 51. The cradle plugs into the UHI connector (option 386). More at:
http://www.emercedesbenz.com/Jun08/19001204_Mercedes_Benz_Hearts_The_iPod_New_Cradle_Allows_Further_Integration_Into_ The_VehicleArchitecture.html
I'm waiting to see if someone comes up with an adapter to the existing system's iPod connector.

HT4623 how do I turn off iTunes match on my mac, my iphone 4 wont sync properly?

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT1386 My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

I have my iTunes settings to prevent my iPod from synching automatically.
Open iTunes (without the iPod Touch connected) , go to "iTunes"--->"Preferences"--->"Devices", select the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from synching automatically", select "OK".
I would then close iTunes and then reopen it. Verify that the settings you just changed are intact.
Log into the iTunes store and update any Apps that you may have purchased.
Connect the iPod Touch via USB with iTunes open. You will see the icon on the left side under "Devices" as normal, however it will not automatically sync.
Click on the "Device" in iTunes and from there you can manually adjust all the items you want to sync and then select sync when you are ready.
I sync mine this way because I feel it gives me more control over the syncing process. Also, I always log into the iTunes store first, check for updates to my Apps and then connect the iPod to manually sync.
So, to me, I guess that perhaps is a way to "force" the sync but in a controlled manner.
I hope that helps.

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. I inadvertently changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity and want to remove the music from my phone. How do I do that?

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. In error, I changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity on my phone and don't want any music on my phone so I want to remove the music from my phone without disturbing my iTune music files on my PC and iPod. How do I do that?

On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

Hi there dyarrell,
You can do this if you are confident that your current device has all of the data on it that you want to keep. The method for deleting the backup will be differnt depending on the backup method. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
