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.

Error: iTunes could not copy **** to MyiPod because the iPod disconnected

I am using Lion 10.7.3 with 10.6.1 and an iPod Touch 2nd generation with iOS 5.1. It all started because I noticed some of my songs were not properly tagged. So, I went into iTunes to fix them. Then, I plugged in the iPod and hit sync. But, it didn't change the songs in my iPod. So, I decided to try again. Still didn't change anything. Don't know why. In the past, changing the information about the song would cause it to sync again.
I decided to restore the iPod. When it was all set, I had it restore from a backup. Then, perhaps because I am mad, I messed around with iTunes Match. I have some 50gb of music on my iPod. So, iTunes Match doesn't work very well for that application. I like it for my iPad, but not my iPod. Anyway, when I changed my mind and tried to sync it told me that it couldn't copy a given song name because my iPod disconnected.
Over and over, it would start copying and then, after about a hundred songs it would say "iTunes could not copy YourSong to MyiPod because the iPod disconnected."
I went ahead and restored it, again. This time I decided to just set it up as a new iPod. It is currently syncing music. I am up to 300 of 6700. If this works, I will post that. Otherwise... what the heck is going on?

So, the restore didnt solve the problem. I am reinstalling Lion right now. I have been having problems with my Time Machine backup drive ejecting itself, too. Some people reported that reinstalling the OS solved this for them. And, since and iPod, technically, is a drive, too, I thought I would give it a try.

Itunes could not copy [File Name] because the file could not be read.

Im trying to sync my ipod with my newly updated collection in itunes. But im getting the above error on random songs during the update process. Sometimes it will get 100/3000 songs complete before i get the error. Other times it only gets 4/3000. There doesnt seem to be a connection to the songs it has trouble on either. Some of the songs are newly added, and some of the songs i already had on my ipod. But it seemed to want to wipe my ipod clean first because i had changed too much in itunes or something. After i get the error itunes seems to think i have disconnected the ipod and wont detect it again until i unmount/mount again. My ipod library also stays empty, even when it gets 100/3000 songs synced before the error.
I am using windows 7 and an ipod touch version 4.2.1

Two possibilities come to mind.
Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
Or...
Repair Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

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 could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.

When I sync my 3g iPhone to my laptop - windows , I am getting a new message that "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue ? relly its a major problm

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.

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.

ITunes could not sync "notes" to iPhone 4 because iPhone canceled the sync?

My iPhone 4 arrived and it activated fine and the setup / sync with iTunes went fine, except with NOTES within Mac Mail -- I keep receiving the following error message via iTunes
QUOTE:
iTunes could not sync notes to the iPhone " _____ iPhone" because the iPhone canceled the sync.
END QUOTE.
I've never had this happen with iTunes and/or any of my previous iPhones. Anyone else having this problem or know how I can resolve it. I've turned on my MobileMe syncing and so far that hasn't updated the notes from my Mac over to my iPhone 4 either. HELP!

I have nt had this issue yet, as I have only had the iPod touch for a few weeks, since moving from a Windows based phone and laptop using Outlook, where everything just worked..unlike this **%^$ Apple system. OK I have had the mac for a year or more now, and just about getting used to it, it is only since the Smart Phone died that I thought I would give an iPhone a try...but I managed to get a itouch cheap...but new ( less than 6 months old)
Only this morning I realised that I missed the notes that I used to reply on with Outlook and and the Win Mobile phone.
So began looking to see why the few notes I created on the Apple mail app were not on the itouch.
This lead me to this thread, and seeing mention of the 'Mobile Me ' account
From what I understand Mobile Me is another e-mail account? is it free? or a paid for service I seem to thin kit was paid for and never looked at it any further . I already have 5 e-mail accounts, and did not need another one!!
So can someone explain to a newbie like me what is the best way to create notes on the Mac and have them sync to the itouch...preferably with out having to spend yet more money on this Apple millstone round my neck
Thanks

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

ITunes could not sync contacts ... because the iPhone disconnected

I had both an iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (2nd gen w/ 3.0 software) syncing to Mobile Me and to my mac. All seemed well except I had a few duplicate entries in contacts. In trying to clean up the duplicates in MobileMe syncing I turned off contact syncing on the phone then turned it back on again. Then I started getting the following error.
iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "iPhone" because the iPhone disconnected.
I've: reinstalled iTunes, completely wiped the iPhone back to factory, Forced a refresh of MobileMe from the Mac to Mobile Me.etc. Symptoms seem to be getting worse instead of better. Now the iPod touch is also screwed up and has the same error as above except for the reference to iPhone.
Current status:
iPhone: Contacts - Had a mess, but I seem to have it working. One set of contacts. Calendar - will not sync with Mac. Synced to MobileMe, but empty. Get spinning network activity symbol when in Calender app.
iPod Touch - Calendar will not sync with Mac. blank synced with Mobile me but empty, Contacts has the separate On my Mac and Mobile Me group listings, but otherwise seems ok. Syncs with Mac.
iPod Nano - Contacts seem ok, Calendar seems ok,
MobileMe - Once I reset it seems ok.
Other info that may or may not apply. There are two other Macs synced by MobileMe. I've reset them as well. Multiple user accounts on each machine.

By wiping both iPhone and iPod and trying syncing with another computer I've come to the conclusion that something with MobileMe sync is the problem.
I can set up both to work fine with my Mac Pro and a new Mac Book Pro as long as I don't set up MobileMe syncing. As soon as I sync with MobileMe I start having problems, particularly with Calendar.
MobileMe seems to work fine computer to computer, until the iPhone/iPod get involved, then the MobileMe copy gets messed up. Version on computer seems to stay ok.
Not sure where to go from here... other than call Apple or go to the Apple Store.

Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message……. iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.

I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

Itunes could not sync contacts to the iphone because the contacts are in use by the iphone

itunes could not sync contacts to the iphone because the contacts are in use by the i phone.... hi i always get this messega when i plug my phone in to the iphone is there anyone have any idea how to fix my phone thank u

Am I'm the only one with this issue?
As I investigate the crash logs it appears that the contacts db is corrupted and that is what is killing the phone, contacts, and mail etc settings.
I have my contacts backed up several places so I'm not worried about losing them.
Anyone know how to wipe or recreate the contacts db on the phone via an attached PC?

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.
