Iphone deletes notes after sync

After syncinc to my mac, my iphone deleted 3 years worth of important notes. Where did they go? I read about some fixes relating to icloud. I don't use icloud and never will. These are confidential notes, so I also don't want them emailed to my email address which happened once, because I check my emails on multiple computers and all of a sudden my private notes appeared at work and at the library and all sorts of places. How do I use notes and then back them up to the itunes on my home computer only, without having the notes emailed all over the world?

I've resolved my issue through Apple technical support. I'd like to provide the resolution for the issue so that if anyone happens to have the same problem in the future, he/she may refer to my post here for a solution.
Apple Support had me delete the Yahoo! email account, readd it as "other", and since I could not get the account to authenticate under POP settings, we added the account under IMAP settings. Upon doing this, all notes (even the ones I wrote when the issue was occurring) "magically" reappeared.
Issue resolved; mods feel free to lock.

IPhone deletes notes after editing or making a new note?

Hello everyone. I've googled this to death and cannot find even so much as a hint. My iPhone (iOS 6.0) today began doing the strangest thing regarding the Notes app. I'll attempt to explain it as best I can. I will add that my iPhone is set to not sync notes to iCloud.
I have dozens of notes in the Notes app. The phone is deleting any edited notes or new notes. If I am in Airplane Mode (with wi-fi + cellular off), all is kosher. If I edit an old note or create a new note while NOT in Airplane mode, the phone will delete the note as soon as I hit the "Notes" button in the top left hand corner that returns me to the list. I have rebooted the phone multiple times, closed all apps out of the multitasking bar, tried with connecting to wi-fi only, cell + wi-fi, cell only. Same issue. The new or edited note will remain in the list for a moment, and then with no observable event, just be gone. The list will update itself to go from 76 to 75, for example. I have free space on the phone, it is not full. It will allow me to store photos, videos, and create new alarms. The issue appears to be isolated to Notes.
I realize I could upgrade iOS, restore the phone, etc. but problems such as this should not arise out of nowhere, especially on something as stable as iOS. Can someone give me a clue as to what is happening, and how to resolve it? As you can guess by having dozens of notes on my phone, it's my main note taking apparatus. I'm fairly crippled without it.

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

The problem is with version 10.4.1. I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work. The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me. Here was their list of steps:
Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
2. Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
     a. iTunes
     b. QuickTime
     c. Apple Software Update
     d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
     e. Bonjour
     f. Apple Appllcation Support
3. Reboot PC
4. Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes. To correct this:
5. Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
6. Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
7. Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
8. Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date. It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
9. Reboot PC

This iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised but i try again and it says already authorised

I am trying to sync my iphone 4 to my computer ( Windows 7 64 bit ) so I can update my apps. when I connect my phone to the computer, a window pos up with the following . . . . . . . . .
this iphone 'colin's iphone' could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this phone
to authorise this computer for items purchased from the itunes store, choose store > authorise this computer OK.
I click on Store, authorise... type in apple id... type in password... click on authorise
It then says.... this computer is already authorised.... including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your available 5.
I unplug my phone and plug it in again and it does exactly the same again???
I'm just going around in circles???

I found the solution to this problem
the apple service helped me actually
the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem :
create a new account (as an administator recomended)
Bonjour servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large icons if you dont see administartive tools )
install itunes
sign in
authorize
SYNC
it must sync normally
but if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items ) REMOVE THEM
creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
was having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other mobile divce folder
REMEMBER the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
Thanks to Apple service
for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

HT1727 iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone

why is itunes saying "iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone"

I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!

I go to sync my phone and it says,"The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone". When I go to authorize it says it's already authorized.

Sync problems with iOS5. "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."

Hi,
I have updated my iPhone 3GS 32GB to iOS5 and iTunes to version 10.5.
All music, videos and ringtones purchased were deleted on the device and now it is impossible at all to sync the iPhone with the computer, both by USB and Wi Fi.
It always appears at step 5 of the syncronization the message:
"The iPhone “iPhone” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
Has anyone experienced the same problem and has found the solution or we have to wait a bug fix from Apple?
Thanks.

Just made one very simple move without having to restore iPhone or reinstall iTunes..
1st step:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 *Read 'in my case' in here first before following this link*
Follow that link to restart (or if necessary) reinstall your Apple mobile device support.
In my case, Leave iPhone connected all the way. I first exit iTunes. Then i stopped the Apple Mobile device support (by following a part on that link above in step 1) which Effectively made my iPhone undetectable on itunes but discoverable by windows as a 'camera device'. Then while device is still connected, i started the Apple mobile dev support again. Now i open itunes and there my iPhone re-appears.
2nd step: After your iphone re-appears on iTunes, press Sync and all is well...
P.S, Mine is iPhone 4 running on iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, Windows 7..

The iphone could not be synced because connection to the iphone was reset

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5 and have upgraded from IOS 6 to IOS 7. IOS 7 has been great unitl I just started getting the following error:
"The iphone could not be synced because connection to the iphone was reset"
I get this error, when I plug my phone in my mac. After getting the error, the iphone does not connect to itunes, so the phone will not Sync with Itunes and will not charge.
Please help!
Thanks,
Gary

I recently posted about this problem already but Apple decided to ad hoc delete my comment because I did not speak favorably of Apple making a comment not to their liking which (was),
there is no support solution coming at all from Apple even though various individuals report the exact same or simlar problem here, including myself on Apple-sponsored community blogs.
Well, I took this problem into my own hands and was able to simply resolve the matter on my own, (I think):
Under System Preferences / General / Reset....
* "Reset All Settings" (first at the top in the list on that page).
That seems to have resolved my issue with this nagging problem.
"the iphone could not be synced because connection to the iphone was reset"
At least so far I seem to not be getting this problem. You will still keep all your data but it will reset your system's settings (i.e., multiple keyboard selection, et el).
Hope this helps someone out there.

The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer...

This is not about wanting to manage music, etc. It's about my work. I have an app in development and need to load the latest IPA for testing, a process performed through iTunes, like syncing anything else. When I try and sync I get the message, "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone.
I did the research on the internet and haven't found an adequate answer. I've tried:
— Being sure I'm logged into the same iTunes account as the iPhone.
— Deauthorizing then Authorizing the computer, after which I get an alert saying the computer has been successfully authorized, resulting in the same error message again when I again try and sync.
— Removing the SC Info folder, as found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 . I guess I have the only Mac that has no trace af any such "SC Info" folder anywhere in the system (OS 10.6.8).
— Logged in under every conceivable account configuration (computer admin, device account, etc...) to no avail.
I have to get this IPA imported into the iPhone. It's the same process as syncing anything else. If anyone has a solution, please send it along. Clock is loudly ticking.
Many thanks.

Same problem. Did you guys find the solution?

"The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish" Help!

So i have multiple devices synced to my macbook pro including an iphone 3g, 4, and 4s. 3g running 4.2.1, 4 running ios 5, and the 4s running ios 5 as well. I've had no trouble in the past month syncing the phones whether it be music, photos, contacts, etc. Now that i have updated my iTunes to the latest software i am getting a message saying "the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish". It shows this error message with every device that i plug into my mac including ipods. I've tried restoring all these devices, deleted all backups, and unchecked/checked libraries to sync one at a time. Nothing works. Please help!!!!!

Open itunes and connect iphone to itunes, syncing (=failed), exit itunes without unplugging and then open itunes again. if this doesnt work, uncheck apps & photos, sync again, before finish syncing stop it, then check it again.

HT1386 itunes comes up with message "the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" no matter what i do it wont sync it

when ever i try to sync my phone itunes comes up with this message. this iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start. how do i fix this?

iTunes
The version of iTunes that comes with beta 2 cannot sync devices that have the beta 1 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following:
Sync any devices that have beta 1 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 1.
Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 2.
Connect the device and install the beta 2 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.)
After installing the beta 2 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.

All of a sudden tonight when I went to sync with my iTunesMacPro, I received an error message that the iPhone could not be sync'ed because it needed 6.25 GB more space

I have a 16 GB iPhone 4S. Tonight when I went to sync with my iTunes on my MacPro, I received an error message that the iPhone could not be sync'ed because it needed 6.25 GB more space. I still have 2.5 GB free. I sync'ed last night fine. How could I need 8.75 GB (6.25 +2.5) more space on a 16GB iPhone. I have added nothing but audio podcasts to my iTunes library on my Mac in the last two days and I have not change the sync setting on my iPhone. Something has gone haywire. Any ideas. Mahalo, Oahu Guy

I resolved this after some analysis. Turnes out that iTunes was not recognizing that my music was already installed on my iPhone, so when I tried to sync, iTunes was attempting to load all my music a second time, and there was not enough room on my iPhone for that. I did a restore from backup today and this appears to have resolved the problem. I initiatied an iTunes sync and it worked fine. Not sure where the glitch was. Could have been in the latest update of the iTunes software. Not sure. Anyway, I'm good now.

When trying to sync my iPhone, the message " The iPhone could not be synced because the Sync session failed to start" comes. What to do?

When trying to sync my iPhone, the message " The iPhone could not be synced because the Sync session failed to start" appears. What to do?

I had the same problem with my iPad 2. Tried everything suggested by others but nothing worked. Finally this is what solved it.
1) Eject and unplug iPad. Restart MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8). Update iTunes to version 10.6.3 via Apple/ Software update.
2) Plug in iPad. Start iTunes (obviously 'failed to sync' message will appear). Select device on iTunes. On Summary page do a restore of iPad. It will ask you if you want to backup your iPad. Choose to backup. You will need a fast internet connection because it will update the iPad software to the latest version before restoring.
3) Choose to restore from backup.
4) Finally do a sync.
This worked for me finally after a day of trying all other methods.

HT1386 iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

I'm using iOS X version 10.8.1 and iTunes version 10.6.3 and iPhone version 5.1.1
I get the following error message: iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start
One post said to delete previous backups which did not resolve the issue.
One post said to re-install which, also, did not resolve the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using a different USB cable. If you're using a desktop, make sure you're plugging the USB into the back of the computer, not the front
