Itunes could not sync information to the iPad

I'm getting this error for all of my devices.  I've rebooted, changed usb ports, etc.  I just got a new iPad and "iTunes could not sync information to the iPad becuase a connection could not be estabilished to the iPad. 
Uninstall/reinstall iTunes?

Nevermind... restarted computer and it all worked out. Weird though.

    In my case, resetting the sync history and disabling the add-ins fixed the problem.

    and turn back on (MERGE!)
    now SYNC it..
    and that's it
    PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Each time I sync my ipad (3) I have this message : "Itune could not sync contacts to the ipad because Contacts have been disabled on the iPad"

    Still, my contacts have been correctly loaded from the Mac Contacts, what is annoying is this message.
    Itune info section is set to synchronize all contacts so I don't know what to do on the ipad...
    Many thanks for your help if any idea

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    I do not know how to disable Contacts on the iPad. Couldn't find any way to do it on my iPad. So maybe the reboot will work.

  • Itunes could not sync information to the iphone because a sync session could not be started

    How to fix this sync problem ?

    [Reposting from another, similar thread which I started]
    Hey.  I "fixed" the issue for myself, although this fix might not be available to you.  I have a home laptop and a work desktop both running W7. I was syncing contacts with my work computer because that's where most of my contacts originate, but it isn't essential that I do so.  I exported my contact database from my work Outlook to a .pst file, dropped it in Dropbox, came home and loaded the updated contacts, and then synced the phone.  It worked fine and I suppose that's how I'll have to do it from now on.
    I've had random problems since our company "upgraded" to a Windows Exchange server with user data getting corrupted.  After the server pushes updates to our desktops, I've had things like Firefox settings disappearing and such.  I assume this was similar and iTunes couldn't find my contact database, or it was corrupted in such a way that it still works fine in Outlook but can't sync.  Anyway, I don't have the time or patience to solve this on the work box and I don't know if I ever could.  My eventual fix (probably coming soon) will be to buy a 4S  
    Good luck with your phone.  Have you tried a restore?

  • 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 calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone".

    I get the message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" every time I sync the iPhone 3GS with iTunes by USB.  Can anyone help? Please !!!!

    I posted the following to "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "xx" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. What does this mean??" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15820680#15820680
    I haven't seen it mentioned but the secret is to
    Sync only selected calendars
    Select "Remove Calendars" from the popup window
    (This is ambigous: from where are the calendars removed?  From the device being synced to)
    Click apply.
    Oops!  My memory is already gone stale.  I think I left no calendars selected, then clicked apply.  Then I selected the calendars that I wanted, then clicked apply.
    In any case, I had a blank calendar on my iPad and then I had all the updated events that I wanted on my iPad.
    Thanks to all who provided some of the essential clues to resolving this problem.

  • 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
    Iphone 4, iOS 4.3.3, Outlook 2007, Win 7 64Bit
