IPod error message when trying to sync contacts

Hey all,
When I try syncing my iPod Touch, it comes up with the error message: "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPod because the iPod disconnected." When I turn off contact syncing, the sync works just fine, but then all of my contacts remain out-of-date. Has anybody else encountered/solved this problem?

Yes, I had the exact same problem. I called technical support and they could not help me. But I solved it independently, while on the phone with support .... they didn't know why this worked - go figure!
sorry - I'm not on that computer at the moment, so I don't have the exact lingo but here goes:
I have multiple categories in my address book. For some reason when I specified to sync only those that were checked (as opposed to the whole group) I checked each and every category in my address book. This sync worked like a charm.
Good luck! (I am having endless problems syncing iCal, which still have me stumped)

  • Error messages when trying to sync large files.

    My 8GB Touch seems to have problems syncing large files, namely movies. I get at least one of these three error messages when trying to sync:
    The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.
    Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The device is not connected.
    Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    It also isn't recognized in My Computer under Removable Storage. Any solutions to this problem? I'd really like to get my movies and TV shows synced.
    I have a 30GB iPod video that works just fine.

    I have been getting the same error as well, but I have 2 friends that own the same exact iPod touch model, and they don't have problems transferring 14 gigs in one session. If apple doesn't have a solution, I would recommend sending it in for repair, because it's an extremely annoying error that seems to not have any solution. The same thing happens on my brand new iMac as well.

    Restart your computer and the iPhone. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

  • When I start my computer I get a "AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found message.  I also get an error message when trying to sync with iTunes that a backup session cannot be started.  How do I fix this?

    In the last few days when I start my computer, I get a box that opens with "AppleSyncNotifier.exe" Entry Point Not Found in the title.
    It says:  "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and still get an error message when trying to sync my phone with iTunes
    "iTunes could not back up iPhone ####, because a session could not be started with the iPhone."
    The last time I tried to sync my phone (iPhone 3G S) with iTunes, everything seemed to freeze up at Stage 4 of the sync process. 
    Any advice????

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • Error message when trying to sync iPhone 3GS.

    After updating my iPhone 3GS with the newest iOS and restoring it, I now get this message when trying to sync the iPhone 3GS
    The iPhone “iPhone” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish. Have recently purchased 4S and need to convert.
    Will this cause problems? Thanks

    Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
    So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

  • Error messages when trying to sync iPod

    I get an error message when syncing my ipod touch 4th generation saying that it could not start a Sync because a sync was already in progress, which is untrue...

    I would try rebooting your computer. To be more confident, I would also reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Why do I get an error message when trying to sync my ipads with my imac

    We have two ipads - version 2 I think - the last ones with the old style plug.  Both are running IOS 7.1.1  Over the last week, every time I try to sync either ipad with my imac (27" - about 18 months old) which is running OSX 10.9.2 I get the following error message.  "The Ipad cannot be synced. An unknown error has occurred (1723)"  In every case it takes a while for the error message to appear - the sync gives every impression of rolling along just fine through the various steps - when it reaches step 5 of 6 (syncing photos) it seems to hang up, then after a while the error message shows up. 
    Interestingly, there are no photos on the ipad, so nothing to sync to the imac, but I discovered all of this when I tried to sync some photos in the other direction, from iphoto to one of the ipads. All I got was the pin wheel of death. I am running the most current version of iphoto too.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be gratefully accepted.

    Can you create a test Project in PrE 9 and does that work. If so, close that Project and then Open it again in PrE 9.
    It could be as simple as your PrE 8 Projects just not Opening in PrE 9. There is often forward compatibility, but not always. It is usually best to finish Projects in the version, in which they were started.
    Good luck,
