IPhone4 syncing failure iOS5

I have looked online but there doesn't seem to be any solutions offered.
Since the iOS5 update I have had on going issues with syncing my iPhone 4. I have tried to remove music and clean up apps, but when I try and apply the change and sync it, the syncing doesn't occur, so I receive an error message stating it's failed to initiate. I'm one step away from restoring and losing my new apps. This is highly frustrating.
I'm on Vista Business, so not sure if this is the problem.

Hi Jiggs,
Not sure this will work for you but after exactly the same problem last week and an hour and a half on the phone to Apple, I came up with a solution that worked for me.
I simply added a contact on my iPhone via a Group. In other words if you don't add the contact in "Family" for example, the address book doesn't see it.
Hope this helps for you. Cheers.

  • Help iphone4 not syncing after IOS5

    I updated iphone4 to new IOS5 and now it's not able to sync in iTunes. No errors just that sync process gets cancelled in the last step.
    Any ideas on troubleshoot? I've been working with Apple Support but at this point they are out of ideas. After the update I lost all my songs, everything else is there.

    Me too! But right after the update it appeared as if the songs were still in the phone memory?! Now I can't even get the phone to sync, it just says itunes isn't working and must close! Soooooo frustrating

  • Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!  SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

    The issue:  Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! 
    SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
    The cause:  It is now clear what caused this problem.  For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.).  In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour  events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event.  I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
    The symptom:  Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes.  I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious. 
    The failed attempts:  I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance.  From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012.  Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other.  Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious.  MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things.  We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
    The fix:  After 18 months of frustration, MANY  hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync  problem and it indicated all day events were related.  I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events,  sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
    After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync.  It synced for the first time in 18 months! 
    Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

    Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
    It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
    Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
        Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
        Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
        Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
        Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
    End Sub
    Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
        For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
            If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
                objFolders.Remove( i )
            Else
                If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                    Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
                End If
            End If
        Next i
    End Sub

  • Will Wifi-sync on iOS5 start if I have my iPod connected to my car when I pull onto my drive in wifi range?

    Will Wifi-sync on iOS5 start if I have my iPod connected to my car when I pull onto my drive in wifi range?

    Well iOS 5 helps you sync with your computer wirelessly when connected to a power supply and on wifi.
    iOS 4 should allow you to have automatic downloads from your account with iTunes rather than from your computer.
    Just go to settings>store and turn on automatic downloads and it will do what you want whether it's plugged in or not as long as you're on wifi.

    Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?

    When an iPhone updates, it wipes the whole device clean and then reinstalls the software and then the backup. Obviously you didn't create/couldn't create a backup either via iCloud or iTunes. You can get your apps back when you go to App Store>Updates>Purchased and download the apps you want.

  • Bonjour iTunes Wireless Sync Failure

    Looking to see if anyone has experienced any iTunes Wireless Sync issues:  Network setup as follows:
    2504 Wireless Controller running 7.6.100.10 and three 1602 AP's set for LOCAL Mode running CAPWAP, and running a Guest WLAN and a User WLAN.
    We use a wide variety of Mac products (iPad, Mac Mini, AppleTV, iPhones, MacBooks), and are now experiencing iTunes Wireless sync failures.  I have mDNS enabled, mDNS is added to the WLAN's and the interfaces, multicast is tuned on, IGMP snooping enabled, multicast is enabled on the wired infrastructure....the weird thing is all the other Bonjour features are working.  We can push desktops to the AppleTV, Stream Music, Print, share files, etc  iTunes Wireless Sync is not working.  I've been watching the mDNS browser and using the Bonjour Browser on my MacBook and I notice a two odd things:
    1) I never see a a Layer 3 Multicast MGID Entry with the Apple Multicast Network (224.0.0.251) populate in the Multicats Window
    2) I have the service enabled for ITunesWirelessDeviceSharing (_apple-mobdev._tcp.local.) in my mDNS profile but I never see any device use that sting.  While watching the mDNS browser I do occasionally see the follwing: _apple-mobdev2._tcp.local. which is generated from the iPhone 5's.  I copied the string and created a new service and added it to my mDNS profile but still no joy.
    Any advice would be welcomed
    Chad

    Please check the Itune version
    Apple iOS v5.0+

  • Itry to sync my iphone 5 ,after saying sync succesful sync failure appears

    after getting sync succesful a couple sync failure appears  when trying to sync iphone 5 to car

    I have re-authorised my computer, but not synced yet.
    All Mozy did was to copy everything under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music, to a backup folder of the same name on mozy.com. So when I restored my hard drive's data, the iTunes was put back.
    Under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications on my (repaired) laptop, I now don't have any mobile apps listed (I guess I'd forgotten to back those up but in any case they're on my iPhone) so I'm concerned that if I replace my iPhone, I'll lose the apps, which I want to avoid.

  • How to solve iphone4 locked on IOS5 if NO SERVICE detected

    my iphone4 after update IOS5 get NO SERVICE & Stuck to set Location & Carrier Service
    what can i do? help me..
    sorry my english is broken. tq friend

    looks like your iPhone is also broken
    If the iPhone was hacked to allow use on any network, updating to iOS5 will have locked it back to the carrier who sold it new
    Where did the iPhone 4 come from ? if the US it will be locked to AT&T

  • Sync failure because itunes cannot connect to the sync server PLEASE HELP!!

    HELP! I cannot get my info back into my iphone.
    During sync I get an error message that says 'sync failure because itunes cannot connect to the sync server''
    I have had this problem today so i restored the iphone and it has synched the ipod portion but will not sync calenders, contacts , email accounts or bookmarks.
    The restore erased all of these and now i cannot replace them.
    Thank you in advance for any help in solving this crisis.

    I had the same problem (not from day one but within the past couple months). Anyway, I wish I had made note of everything that the quick-and wonderful-Apple support did when I finally decided to give them a call today-after getting tired of not being able to update calendars and contacts and not seeing any helpful info here-unfortunately, I continue that legacy (as I can't remember everything I had to do to fix-sorry) Ultimately involves creating a new user I called mine IPHONE...then doing some of this and that-and finally merging info and going to "Terminal" and typing in some code...then deleting some of the old files, Took about twenty-minutes on the phone. Sorry I didn't think ahead for others and write al this down...but just know the Apple people were great. I talked to a gal for about ten minutes very methodically trouble-shooting. When nothing worked she shifted me over to a real nice guy who calmly and politely guided me through all the steps to fix this annoying problem. I hate to say it, but just get on the phone and-if you have the same experience as me-you will get 5 Star treatment and your sync will work like a dream. Every time I have to contact Apple Support (which isn't that often) my experience is nothing but the best. Unbelievable customer service! Methodical, Personable, and truly knowledgeable! There is a fix and it works like a dream. Not that hard but you'll need customer service to walk you through it-as I can't (sorry I can't be of much help...) Good luck!

  • What is the average price apple repairing IPhone4s Display failure problem?

    what is the average price apple repairing IPhone4s Display failure problem?

    It depends. If your still within warranty and the display failure isn't your fault you just back up your phone then go to any apple retail store and they'll give you a new one for free. If it is your fault I would still back up your phone and go into the store. Then they'll charge you about £150 and will give you a new one. But you must have your phone backed up. That will be the first thing they ask you.

  • Can I put music from iPod Shuffle, synced to computer A, onto iPhone4, synced to computer B?

    Can I put music from old iPod Shuffle, synced to computer A, onto new iPhone4, synced to computer B?  Both devices and both computers belong to me.  Computers are not on same LAN.

    You can if the music was puchased with the same AppleID.
    Synch the iPod Shuffle with computer B to get it's songs onto that computer.  Then resynch the iPhone4 to computer B.

  • Having troubled with already purchased ringtones not appearing in the ringtone file of itunes not able to sync into iphone4 after installing ios5

    the tones show in the music library and also in the purchased section, but in the listing of tones there is nothing.  After sync with the Iphone 4 they do not appear.  So to look I selected on selected tones and it only shows 1 of 15.  How can I fixed this?  either have the ringtones back into "image of a bell" tones so they can appear on the iphone as ringtones and I can select them .

    Anyone?

  • Need to export Iphoto library from iPhone4, synced Macbook hard drive failure. Now only medium is windows based. Please help!!!

    Hello all,
    I had my iPhone 4 synced to a Macbook and was using iTunes and iPhoto for my media. Well the hard drive in my Macbook crashed and now all of my Photos and Music are only on my iPhone. How can i extract the iPhoto library/albums from the phone. My secondary concern is retrieving the Music. the music was imported to my original iTunes via CD's and USB drives but apperantly i can only transfer music that was purchased via iTunes store? I really dont want to roll the dice my buying a new Macbook just to hope that this will be the answer.
    Thanks.

    One of the reasons why maintaining a backup of the important data on your computer is important.
    There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for transferring such data in the opposite direction - music that was not purchased from the iTunes store and for photos that were transferred from your computer.
    Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. When transferring these photos in the opposite direction, the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
