ITunes - iPhone Sync Error with Mail Accounts

Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes I get the error message, "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone 'Henry's iPhone" because an error occurred remapping record identifiers./Try syncing your iPhone again. If the problem persists, replace the mail accounts on the iPhone from the info tab in the iPhone preferences."
If I uncheck the mail accounts sync option in the info tab, the problem goes away, but returns when I recheck the option.
What does this error message mean? More to the point, how, precisely do I remedy the situation?

Easiest to just leave mail account syncing off. FYI, that setting does not sync emails, it only syncs the account settings. If email is working on your phone, there's no need to sync the settings.

  • IPhone Sync Disabled with iTunes - COMMON PROBLEM

    I've read this issue everywhere with iPhone users. When trying to sync with your iTunes, it displays the message "iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone "-" because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing?"
    Obviously, you click yes. Then it displays "Syncing cannot be enabled on this computer", to which you can accept this fact (OK), or (Override). Either option allows the iPhone to do a basic sync (music, apps, photos, videos), but leaves all your contacts, calendar dates, and Mail accounts on your computer.
    In conjunction with this, iSync doesn't seem to be working either, so it leads me to believe there is an error in the sync directory, or whatever.
    I've already tried completely removing iTunes and reinstalling it, so i know that doesn't work, as well as reinstalling the iPhone OS, and restarting both.
    I have a Macbook Pro, running Snow Leopard 10.6.5, running iTunes 10.1.1, with and iPhone 4 running 4.2.1, so everything up to date.
    Please can we try and get as many answers as possible on this thread, so people don't have to search around picking ideas form everywhere.
    Please help!!

    I've read this issue everywhere with iPhone users.
    Not here. The same is not reported here very often.
    Try repairing disk permissions on your boot drive.

    If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down .  In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo.  Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want

  • I made a ringtone on an app I got on my iPhone, I put it on iTunes and synced it with my iPhone and I can't find it on my phone, where do I have to look in order to find it?

    When you synced in iTunes did you select your phone in devices on t left column and then click on tones int eh window on the right.  When you synced did you tick all tones and tick sync and then click sync at the bottom of the window on the right?  Was the ton ein the tones folder in the library folder?

  • Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

    Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps

  • IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

    I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Chuck

    You're welcome.
    You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
    Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

  • Is there a way to merge Mail account A on my desktop with Mail account A on a separate hard disk? I lost all my old messages in July, but they are on the hard disk. Thanks!

    Is there a way to merge Mail account A on my desktop with Mail account A from separate hard disks? I lost all my old messages (thousands of them) in July, but most of them are safe elsewhere. I'd really like to put them all in one place, though!
    The desktop (iMac) now has messages from July 2012 onward.
    My separate hard disk backup has old messages up to June 2012.
    Most of the ones between June and July are on a MacBook Pro which I bought about that time.
    Is there a relatively easy and safe way to put these messages back together in Mail account A on my desktop again?
    Many thanks!

    Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category.  If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
    In that case, you should definitely post your question here
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
    where other Snow Leopard users can see your question.  Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).

  • IPhone sync'd with iMac at home, need to put something on it while on road

    We are on a trip and my wife has her iPhone with her and her Air. She keeps the iPhone sync'd with her iMac at home, but has purchased an audiobook from the store and needs to move it to the phone. Right now, we are sort of stymied because when we plug the iPhone into the air, it tells us it is sync'd with the other machine.
    How do we get that book from the air to the iPhone? If I could have gotten to her fast enough, I would have had her buy it on the phone, but she has already purchased it, and it's sitting on the air.

    No can do.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. The iPhone does not support disk mode as is supported with an iPod.

  • HT4898 How can I continue sync my various Mail Accounts when I move to iCloud?

    How can I continue sync my various Mail Accounts when I move to iCloud?

    I wasn't aware that you could sync other mail accounts with MobileMe, other than their settings. If you are referring to settings, then they should already be set up on your mobile device, any new accounts would need to be added manually.
    POP accounts will continue to receive and send e-mail but will not sync (so for example if you delete an e-mail on one device it won't be deleted on the other), IMAP/exchange accounts will continue to function as they always have.

  • HT201441 Previous user has left the Company and is uncontactable. The company owned iphone is associated with thier account.How do we provide POP to Apple for Apple to dissasociate the device?

    Previous user has left the Company and is uncontactable. The company owned iphone is associated with thier account.
    How do we provide POP to Apple for Apple to dissasociate the device form the previous users account?
    Thanks.

    Without the previous user's ID and password, or getting him to remove the phone from his list of devices, the iPhone is useless. There is no workaround for this and certainly where individuals are concerned Apple cannot help.
    I have seen a suggestion that Apple may be willing to do this in a corporate situation like the one you are in, but I've seen no confirmation of this. You have nothing to lose by contacting Apple and asking, but don't be surprised if you are told it can't be done. This is a security device and if it was possible to bypass it there would be no point in having it in the first place.

  • Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  Thanks.

    Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I tried uninstalling, but I am stuck now trying to reinstall.
    It says itcan't find the itunes64.msi destination folder.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
