ITunes cannot sync mail accounts because Iphone cancels sync?

I get the above message when I try to sync my iPhone with my iMac. Does anyone know a fix?

Usually when itunes cancels a sync, something itunes was trying to sync is corrupted.
When you sync the iphone to you imac, try syncing one category at a time to see what is canceling the sync.
First, sync just music and nothing else.
Then if music sync, try movies or video.
Keep going through the tabs adding on one thing at a time until you get the error message.
When you get the error message, you know that something in that last category is corrupted.
Hope this helps.

  • IPhone 3G Cannot create mail account from IPhone.

    Cannot create Pop email account from IPhone. Keeps asking if I want to try to create the account without SSL, whether I answer yes or no. I have to create the account via ITunes.
    Any ideas?

    No error msg. Just keeps asking over and over again, if I want to try to setup the account without SSL. If I answer yes. It try's again for 2 min, the repeats the question. If I say no then it takes me back to the config screen for the account where I can select cancel. Never creates the account or give error msg.

    i had a similar mail sync issue with a pop3 business account. i think the issue was i deleted the account from my iphone instead of removing it thru itunes. this was causing the canceled mail sync error with any changes to my syncable mail accounts to my iphone. so, i went it and re-added that pop3 account and it solved the problem. it now syncs everytime and allows me to make changes to which accounts i want on my iphone....which wasn't happening before.

    You can either setup your mail account settings manually or sync your settings to your phone. If your mail accounts are already setup on your phone, there is no need to have this box checked in itunes.

    iTunes is running into a conflict between mail account information already on your iPhone and the accounts you are trying to sync.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer. In the Advanced section under the Info tab, check the box next to "Mail Accounts". This will replace the mail account info on your iPhone with the accounts you are trying to sync.
    If this does not work, then reset your sync history by opening the iSync application, going into the preferences, and clicking Reset Sync History.

    I've rec'd a few errors related to syncing Mail, but none have had this specific wording. If you haven't already, try quitting Mail before syncing. Also, make sure that you're not in your Settings areas on the iPhone before syncing. Hope this helps!

  • Sync mail account Iphone with imac

    Since I have latest Itunes I cannot sync anymore my mail accounts from my
    Imac to my Iphone. Before you could select a checkbox sync mail account
    and now i disappeared. Bug in Itunes?
    Best regarsds,

    It seems apple has removed the info tab in itunes in the iphone page attempting to force mavericks users to rely on icloud. It was a great feature of syncing the mail accounts between the iphone and the mac. I dont know why apple is going around pulling out many such great features that used to make its software more friendly than that of its competitors. If this continues, apple might fall from high up the tree.

  • Itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad beacuse the mail accounts are in use by the ipad

    hi all  just syncing pc and ipad after 7.0.3 upgrade and get the message that itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad because mail accounts are in us eby the ipad.  i know i have seen several older threads on this,. but now cant find them.  any ideas how to get over this problem message?  many thanks

    When my icloud account is attached to my device I go to mail, contacts, calendars, and there is absolutely no way to remove my mail account. When I deleted my icloud account it suddenly gave me a way to delete and readd my mail account, and synching became feasible again. Synching wasn't possible for me, when I had an icloud account. I suppose the icloud idea still isn't feasible, at least Ican't figure out how to use it.

  • How sync mail accounts between Mac and iPhone!!

    Hi,
    May a trivial and stupid question but never found an answer!
    How easily sync mail account information (preferences of each mail account) between mac's (Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro) and iPhone?
    Sorry to say that but it's so easy in Windows!! Just check the option box in itunes!!
    For now, I use iCloud, define to sync mail and connected with same account on all my mac and iPhone ... nothing happened!
    Oh yes, sorry, I have three accounts out of 13 who appear!!! But WHY?
    I red somewhere that the account information (password) must be saved in keychain ... ok ... but how do I change that for all account?
    I tried to remove one and recreate ... no success ... doesn't appear.
    Why is it so complicated to have that working as the Mac is so user-friendly?
    I also try a search on Apple site ... no explanation!
    Some one with a clear and simple "How To" to share?
    MANY THANKS!

  • How do I sync mail accounts from my laptop to iPhone?

    Hi,
    I just got an iPhone 4S, iOS 7. I have Macbook Pro, with OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), iTunes 11.1.1.  I have email accounts already set up on my laptop, and I'd like to copy that information to the iPhone, and keep them in sync.  I searched for info on how to do this, but much on the pages I found refer to a previous version of iTunes, which had some "sync mail accounts" section, which is no longer there.  How do I do it now?  Do I have to manually set them up again on the iPhone?  I read somewhere that you "use iCloud" but there were no details.
    thanks,
    Rob

    I should have written my question better.  I didn't mean: connect to one account from multiple devices. That I understand -- IMAP, etc.  I want to sync the configuration of those accounts.  So, I set up 4 email accounts on my laptop, and then push the setup/config info to the iPhone so I don't have to type in the addresses and passwords again.  I have a lot of accounts and some of them change passwords frequenty.  It would be nice to not have to type on that iPhone screen.

  • IPhone screen stuck on Apple logo, iPhone cancels sync in iTunes

    I noticed the volume indicator read "headphones" when the headphones were no longer plugged in. Then it all got worse from there. I have read many posts and tried many things multiple times but can not get the phone to work. The black screen w/ the logo is stuck. I can get the picture on the screen of the plug & iTunes icon (for connecting to iTunes v9), but that soon leaves and returns the logo screen. When I connect to iTunes a message appears "recovery mode detected must restore" which I try to do (I get all the common messages, extracting, preparing, waiting, restoring, verifying, restoring firmware, iphone has been restored to factory settings). But when I get to the "Set Up Your iPhone" page and attempt to restore from any recent backups I get error messages that go something like this: Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. The device is not connected.; not sync iPhone canceled sync; could not sync contacts iPhone canceled sync; could not sync cannot read or write to disk. Also note, that little circle of status bars goes around and around (on the screen w/ the logo) at times but nothing happens. Any suggestions before I trek an hour to the Apple store?

    Strange looks from the Genius at the Apple store when explaining my problem. He looked at the terminals with what looked like a otoscope and said the moisture sensors were activated (the 2 visible w/out taking phone apart, in each terminal jack, headphone & charger). Then he went in the back room to take phone apart to see if the internal sensor was activated. It was not, therefore my phone was covered by warranty and it was replaced at no cost other than my time and gas. I JUST WANT TO SAY my phone has never been around water. These phones need to be better designed (i.e., use gold plated terminals) to handle humidity from your pocket, from being in a bathroom when you shower, from moving from cold enviroment to hot, etc. This is my 4th iPhone in less then 2 years. I like to talk my Apple products up to my pc freinds but when I have issues like this they stick it to me.
