Itunes could not sync calendar because the sync server failed to sync: Help
Can anyone please help me with this error. Trying to sync to outlook 07, contacts sync, but not calendar. do not want to lose the information on the phone in the sync resolution.. any ideas?
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...

If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account. There are discussions about this issue. Otherwise... for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on. Use Google. -
i delete my iphone from find my i phone and now i want to make active my i phone i get the message your i phone could not be activated because the activation server failed i try it several time but my iphone is not activate help me fpls
Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.
The other possible issue is a device running the iOS7 Beta. If that is the case, and you are a developer, sign into the developers forums for assistance. If that is the case and you are not a developer, try google. -
I have imported cds into my itunes and they appear on my playlist, but when I try to sync to my ipod or listen to them on my computer a message comes up stateing " the songs on itunes could not be used because the original file could not be found". I have not deleted them and am importing them the way I always have. This problem has only been for the last 4 or 5 months. Since updating to the last 2 itunes versions.
The message means that iTunes can not find the original imported music files. iTunes should display a red exclamation mark next to the songs it can not find. You will need to look on your hard drive for the songs/files and than correct the file path in iTunes or just delete the files in your iTunes library and import them again.

ITunes could not copy ''file'' because the file could not be written
Recently, I have been experiencing some problems with iTunes and my iPad 2. Whenever I try to sync movies into my iPad, I get the error message ''iTunes could not copy ''file'' because the file could not be written''. This message always appears whenever I try to sync a few movies at once. When I check my iPad after it's synced, I find that a few of my movies successfully sync into my iPad, and can be played. However, some movies show up on my iPad but cannot be played. The video thumbnail just shows a picture of a blank TV screen. Is there any way where I can fix this problem? Thanks.
Hi JimmySlax.
I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
Hope this helps. -
ITunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected windows 7
I have been backing up and syncing my iPhone 4s through Windows 7 for the past 2 years. I am running iOS 8.1 on the iPhone and recently downloaded iTunes version 12.0.1.26. I can no longer sync my contacts or backup the phone and get the following error:
iTunes could not backup iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
I have tried plugging directly into the laptop, not the Sony laptop hub
I have deleted all previous backups on the laptop
I have restored the the iPhone
I previously spent hours with Apple Support because the iPhone would not sync with the previous version of iTunes.
HELP!I may have a work around/solution.
I had this problem when on iOS 8 beta 5. Now again on 8.1. I have found a repeatable fix, however it does require part of a working backup of your device. Not sure if it works with any device of the same type, but it does with the part from your own. Anyway:
Locate your current backup within Finder/windows explorer.
Go into the device backup folder (will be titled the UDID of your device) and cut the info.plist, manifest.mbdb, manifest.plist and status.plist files, and paste them somewhere else for storage just in case.
Now you need those same 4 files from a working backup of your device. Paste them into the backup folder where you just removed the others from.
Restart your computer and device.
Plug in and try backup. You'll notice the date of last backup on the summary page will say the date of the backup in which you took the 4 files, as this info must be in one of the files.
Often this allows a backup to complete successfully for me.
Unsure if all steps are required (such as restarts, and if all 4 files are needed or just one is the key), but it seems to work reasonably frequently like this when having this problem.
I have kept a working copy of those files for use whenever this happens.
I also keep a backup on another computer/hard drive in case this ever fails.
Sometimes this isn't necessary, and you can just change the name of the current failing backup folder so that it creates a whole new one, but often this fails for me still. Also you may need lots of extra space available if you have large backups.
Hope this helps someone -
Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally. -
this is the message i am getting:
Your iPhone could not be activated because the Activation Server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support
nothing i can do to it
looked on forums, can't get to anything (flight mode, etc, etc)This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
If this is the case... Then...
Sorry... But...

I replaced a faulty iPhone 4S with a new handset today, another iPhone 4S. I was certain to backup my previous iPhone 4S to iTunes on my PC before returning the faulty unit. The new phone was 'set up' at the Apple Store and updated to the current iOS, 7.0.4, as was the faulty unit prior to replacement. Upon connecting the new unit to iTunes to restore to the most recent restore point from earlier in the day, the following message was shown:
"iTunes could not restore iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored."
I've browsed other forums and have contacted the Apple Store Genius Bar, and will hear from the Lead Genius tomorrow. In the meantime, I am hoping someone may have information for me on what I may need to do in order to restore my phone as I'd anticipated doing by now. My photos, email and text messages are what is affected and have not repopulated. My music is accessable via iCloud without a problem and my contacts were kept via SIM. I regularly copy my Camera Roll from my iPhone to my computer, and most of my photos are still viewable via Apple TV/My Photo Stream however only through the photos last saved. The 348 recent photos that were on my faulty unit, and viewable in My Photo Stream were presumedly safe, but have disappeared.
I have yet to shut down or restart my computer, nor have I exited out of iTunes, for the simple reason that I'd anticipated returning home with the new handset and plug it into my computer to restore right away. I did, but that's as far as I've gotten.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!Had the exact same problem whilst upgrading my iphone 4 to ios5. Lost all my data.
Backed up ios 4.3 (8F190) iphone4. Upgraded to ios 5.1 (9B176), and then tried to restore.
No joy, repeated the restore attempts countless times - lost all my data
Tried again with a simulated test.
Created a new itunes account on a new PC (64-bit windows 7), latest itunes(10.6.1.7- 64 bit).
As my data is toast, I'm using the ios 5.1 phone to try to see if it was me or an apple bug, or something elsewhich caused this to happen.
After quite a few more hours at it, it looks like a bug in iTunes / ios. I would be very happy to be wrong, though.
Tried repeatedly restoring an ios 4.3 backup to 5.1 - no joy.
Happy to try again - it does restore partially (got the call register transferred, but no SMS'es or anything else).
Any ideas? -
2 errors: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable" and the sim says "searching" while iTunes says there is "No Sim installed" - but of course, there is! Any help please??
Hi Peter,
Thank you for the note - I have seen similar replies on other posting errors and I see how that could make sense. The thing is, my iPhone is not jailbroken - it is from an authorized distributor. However, when I told them about the "no service" problem on the sim, they were unable to assist. Then my phone messaged that an itunes restore was required - so I did that, several times, to the error message now noted on my post. I wonder if there is some other way to over-write this message? Thanks very much. -

Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
