ITunes-iPhone Sync Waiting: Session Failed - Done everything I can think of!
Hey Guys here's the what we're dealing with:
iPhone 4S 64GB running iOS 5.0.1 (Latest)
Macbook Pro (Late 2008) 15" running Mac OS Lion 10.7.3 (Latest)
iTunes 10.5.3 (Latest)
Scenario:
(Previously unencountered issue until now)
iPhone plug into Macbook Pro to sync with iTunes AUTOMATICALLY/MANUALLY,
Sync session stuck on: "Waiting for sync to start"
Error message: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"
Attempted Fix and Known Facts:
Have tried syncing with iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad with no success
Wireless syncing no success
Restarting and Resetting of iTunes, Computer, iPhone with no Success
Have done a full clean install of iTunes with no success - using Apple Support this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747?viewlocale=null&locale=null
Cannot find AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg
iPod Service Process and Apple Mobile Device Process not running under Activity Monitor
Please help! I have battled with this problem for over a week!
I had figured it out that when i unchecked the "sync apps" box, and just sync my videos and music, everything turned out normal.
Have you jail breaked your iphone ?
Oh and I also found another solutions is that you open My Documents\My Music\iTunes, delete the Library.itl file. It will erase all of your apps and music. BUt you can download your stuffs back again.
Try that. Good luck

Does anypne know how to fix the missing MSCVR80.dll file? Ive reinstalled itunes several timessysystem restores. Ive tried everything I can think of . Been sitting here all day and nightHELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

My iPad will not turn on. I have done everything I can think of
My iPad will not turn on. I have used the charger that came with it an iPad iHome dock and another iPad charger that goes with another iPadit has been on one charger or another for 2 days. I have done a hard reset and even put it in recovery mode and was able to do a restore but it will only show dead battery logo or charging. Any ideas?
Also I was not having any battery problems before this. It would last all day with a generous amount of use.

I recently signed up for iTunes Match. It works well on my iPad2 but not my iPhone 4S. A while ago my music did show up on my phone but much of it was grayed out. Now I don't see anything on my iPhone. I've tried everything I can think of. I'm running the latest operating system and software

maybe you can help....I can receive mail fine, but when I open or delete emails from my iphone or computer, it will not sync with each other....so I have 600 emails on my iphone and 100 on my computer..I have looked at everything I can think of
I don't know about the systems, but is your phone on wireless and your other device on wireless? Then I think they would mutually update.
Howerver the previous response from ckuan sounds much more informed so I would check that out. -
I had my iphone synced to my PC but everything got erased from my PC.So can i sync my iphone again to another or same PC again?
Hello CathyRox,
Yes you can sync them to another computer or to the same one, but since it will effectively be a new iTunes library, you will be prompted to transfer purchases or erase and sync. You can transfer your purchases to get the content back on your computer, and this article will help with that.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
As far as your calendars, contacts, reminders and notes, if you you are not already using icloud, I would sign into iCloud and sync that content to the Cloud so no data is lost.
iCloud: iCloud account

Additionally, I think it would also be a good idea to backup your phone to your computer as well.

My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals. We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhones and it cuts in and out.. Drops from 3 wifi bars to 1
I am having the same problem with brand new Ipad Mini at my house.
It connects to the WiFi fine - but will not pull an IP address in DHCP mode, or if I set all the IP info statically - it still will not get any network access.
This doesn't look like a WiFi issue, as it does connect and is seen by the WiFi Access Point. All the normal WiFi fix stuff doesn't help.
- Using a Dlink DAP-2553 which is less than 2 months old.
Other devices connect fine, including Ipad 2.
This same Mini worked fine at another house and also connected to a mobile hotspot fine....so seems to be some weird IP issue with maybe this Access Point or maybe the older Router that I have (older Netgear)?
I am actually a network engineer and still have not been able to find a solution. Both the Ipad Mini and the Dlink WAP have the latest firmware loaded.
Wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem. -
new iphone. (someone else put in their username and password. so i had lots of apps that i had to eliminate but do NOT wish to compromise the contact list) time for me to update the iphone. downloaded itunes onto pc. plugged in iphone and waiting for prompt to show phone. pc thinks it is the camera. how do i get itunes/pc to recognize iphone ? then, how do i backup contacts and proceed before updating iphone?
This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes or iPhone forums.

I have read all the replies to the "Itunes store not working". I have done everything I can to use any of the solutions. This is my 5th day. I give up. Need some help. As I can see there seems to be a lot of those problems.
I spent some time on the phone this morning with Apple. Here's a link they sent me: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
It's more than just uninstalling Itunes; there are 5 other apps that have to be uninstalled and in specific order. This particular Knowledge Base article applies to Windows Vista or Windows 7. For other Windows versions you'd have to look up the article for Windows XP.
Hope this helps. -

I've tried everything I can think of to get my Iphone 4S to play albums like an Ipod does. All it ever does is play the songs but not the albums in alphabetical order. I used to think I was reasonably intelligent until I butted heads with this phone.
Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.
