ITunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPod

I'm suddenly getting "iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPod...because the iPod disconnected" every single time I connect to iTunes.
Haven't seen this one before - any (good) ideas?

Never mind - deleted some Safari bookmarks created by my Nokia N82, and the problem went away...

ITunes could not sync calendars to the iPod because sync server failed to

I have been having a problem with my iPod touch and syncing the calendar with my PC I keep getting this error message +iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPod "Peters iPod" because sync server failed to sync the iPod+ It could be coincidence but this problem began right after I got my Verizon iPhone and loaded that into my iTunes, I never get this message on my iPhone and have received it only twice on my iPad. I called Apple Care and they suggested that I remove and reinstall iTunes and QuickTime and they sent me a link on how to remove them in a particular sequence...I followed their advice but it didn't help so I called them back and they said I must not have followed the sequence and to try again...needles to say I am frustrated because it wasn't that complicated I removed it as directed and still I get the error message...if anyone has any suggestions *please help!!*

Thanks, Stuwawah. Tried this. Although Notes did sync, and although the calendar info was posted to iPod, we haven't fixed the problem yet. New symptom to report. When I opened "calendar" on the iPod, I was able to tap on an event, but I can't tap my way back to any other view of "calendar." The "<--calendars" button is missing. Is there a trip to the Apple Store in my near future?

"iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPod because the iPod disconnected"

OK, I have an MBP (10.6.4), iTunes 10.0.1, iPod touch 4.1, and an odd contacts sync problem.
When I try to sync all my contacts from address book I get "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPod because the iPod disconnected". If I only sync some subset of the contacts, that works fine. If I create a new group that contains all the contacts, it barfs.
I have tried resetting and reinstalling, and deleting the backups.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you try to reset the sync history in iSync on the Mac?

ITunes could not sync information to the iPod...because a connection could not be established

The only history I could find on this problem is at http://discussions.apple.com/thread/2059115?threadID=2059115
'iTunes could not sync information to the iPod "device name" because a connection could not be established to the iPod'
I have an old iPod Touch, for which the most recent compatible OS seems to be 3.1.3. iTunes is quite new (iTunes 10.3.1.55) on Windows 7 Profession 64-bit. Has everyone else who has had this problem on an old iPod Touch found that it was solved, or do they just ignore it?

You will not lose data doing a reset.
If this does not work, maybe try to use a second user account, disable autosync in iTunes, plug in, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". This will create a backup without syncing.
If the backup goes through, transfer purchase the same way.
Set up at least on contact and event for that new account, let iTunes erase the device and restore from the backup you made before.
If it works for the second user account, there's something wrong on the other side, maybe a defective backup or iTunes.

ITunes could not sync information to the iPod "...." because another sync session was already running.

Normally, syncing my iPod Touch is no problem. However, last time I tried to sync, the process hung up and even after half an hour the progress bar would not finish. I ended up having to force quit iTunes. Now when I try to sync I get 2 messages: the first says "iTunes could not back up the iPod "......" because a session could not be started with the iPod." as soon as I close that message another appears: "iTunes could not sync information to the iPod "......." because another sync session was already running."
There seems to be a half finished sync file saved somewhere and a new one cannot be started. However, I can't continue the partial one either so I'm stuck.
Other than that my iPod Touch 4 is operating normally. Syncing with Mac Book Pro.
How do I fix this problem?

WHat do yo meanby rebooting?
Is is a reset like defined in the users guide:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

ITunes could not sync contacts because the iPod is disconnected

The iPod/Touch IS connected and syncronising music, photos and starting with the contacts sync. After 20 seconds or so the process stops and the alert message says:
"iTunes could not sync contacts on the iPod because the iPod is disconnected".
Have restarted the Mac, reconnected the iPod/Touch with the same result. I have also deleted iPhoto cache which was suggested in one of the forums discussions.
NOTE: I have made the same Sync with my regular iPod 160 and it works fine,
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I found in a different post the suggestion to do a factory reset on the iPod from within iTunes (on the Summary tab).
Worked for me, but it took a while to reset and then reload all of the info...

ITunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPhone...

I've been running into this problem when trying to sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes for a while now. I was hoping that the latest iOS update would have fixed it, but it seems like it didn't.
I get this error every time I try to sync:
iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPhone "Crake" because the bookmarks are in use by the iPhone.
Close the bookmarks settings on the iPhone, then sync again.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7, iTunes 10.2.2 and iOS 4.3.3.
I have already restored my iPhone, replaced the bookmarks and closed all applications before syncing; nothing seems to work.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks!

Just spent an hour with Applecare support.. I had been getting a message when I tried to look at Bookmarks on the iPhone "Bookmarks are being synced. Please add the bookmark once syncing has completed" - this has been the message for 10 days now on the iPhone whenever I try to create a bookmark or look at Bookmarks list. Applecare advised resetting the Bookmarks in iTunes by manual setting but as I was talking on theiPhone I had to finish the call to do the sync.. Then I got the message in iTunes as above that the bookmarks are in use..
Need to retain Mobileme cos I don't want to lose KEYCHAIN syncing yet until I have worked out waht to do with the service not being available on iCloud.
I thought maybe the update of the phone to iOS5 would clear up this Safari Bookmark error but it was like safari had remained running throughout the update to iOS5 process - it looked exactly the same..
So frustrating .. and yet the iPad is working perfectly on iOS 5 - it and two computers are all in sync on all Mobileme items.. Just iPhone Bookmarks is out.

Error: iTunes could not sync information to the iPod because a connection..

I am getting this error window almost every time I sync my iPod Touch to iTunes. A few seconds after connecting my iPod to my computer via USB, an error window pops up saying: "iTunes could not sync information to the iPod "name" because a connection could not be established to the iPod; OK button".
Well, my iPod IS connected via USB cable, sync starts, and after I click OK in the error window, sync continues, and at the end everything seems to be fine, all my podcasts, songs, mail, calendars, etc. seem to be there fine.
Any idea what is causing this error window to pop-up and how to solve this problem?
See system specs below.

Chiming in as well, having the same issue with my first gen iPod touch, only started happening after update to 3.0.
Hopefully this fixed when 3.1 comes out, everything seems to work fine (in fact, syncing immediately after the first sync produces no errors, only seems to happen after disconnect / reconnect)

ITunes could not sync ^0 to the iPod "^FILENAME" because the ^0 are in use

Trying to install new iPod Nano, when trying to save acceptance to licence agreement, the above error came up and I cannot save therefore cannot proceed, please help (its for my daughter on Christmas Day). I have 3 other iPods registered, thought I could have up to 5 on my PC.
Thanks in advance.

Does the error actually show the carat sign and 0? Is that the exact error?

Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

When I attempt to sync my iPod with iTunes, "iTunes could not copy "songname" to the iPod because an unknown error occurred (-69)" HELP!!

When I attempt to sync my iPod with iTunes, "iTunes could not copy "songname" to the iPod because an unknown error occurred (-69)" appears, I have attempted to restore my iPod settings but this doesn't help at all. This only happened after I installed the latest update of iTunes.

ITunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred

When I connect my iPhone to my iMac (OSX version 10.6.6), and open iTunes and select "sync" - everything syncs (my Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, books, Photos and Calendars). However, I get an error message popping up saying: "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because an error occurred while merging data".
I have unchecked the contacts button in iTunes and then sync works fine.
I have deleted all my contact in my Address Book on my iMac and tried to sync. Again, same error message as above.
I have not tried to restore the iPhone as I am worried to loose my contacts saved on my iPhone.
Who know how to solve this problem? Thanks

Hi Charlotte
I had the same problem for one year now and it affected my contacts, then later my calendar.
I followed the Apple troubleshooting guides and finally managed to make it work again.
First try the following guide:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting contact and calendar syncing via USB on Window
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
For me I noticed that after I updated ITunes to latest version (using the full uninstall from the last point of the guide above, section "Reinstall Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes"), I could sync with another Windows user account (on another computer actually)
Since I wanted my own account to sync again, I then used the advanced troubleshooting guide:
Advanced troubleshooting for Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2776
In my case the point 4 in this guide helped, but since I had no MobileMe, I just killed the OS process SyncServer.exe, then renamed the SyncServices folder to SyncServices.old and restarted the PC.
You should try all the steps in both guides in the order mentioned, to see which one can help, I don't advise you to start directly with a step in a guide
Good luck

Zelemiah,
I had the same frustrating problem and found that the way it worked for me was to SYNC the Phone in iTunes first with the SYNC Button on the bottom right of the Summary page at the end of the coloured Data used bar and then do the Version Update it worked first time for me and it appears that the 2.1 Update will not take unless the iPhone is synched with iTunes first as there may be too many differences which is why it keeps bombing...Hope it Works.
