Itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. Reconnect or try later

Hi everyone
This issue has got me stumped.
I have a Dell Vostro desktop computer with Windows 7 SP1 64 bit edition.
I used to be able to sync now I cannot bakup or sync.
The device is an iphone 4s with the latest software IOS 5.1.
Itunes is version 10.6.0.40, the latest.
To try to fix this problem I removed itunes/quick time completely. Removed Bonjour, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update,
Deleted the itunes and quick time folders, the common file folders and files, deleted anything related to able under appdata local and roaming, removed apple folder under program data, scanned through registry and removed all apple entries.
Then I rebooted the computer, re-installed itunes/quicktime and have the same error appear again.
I have gone through this process at least 5 times , but still keep getting the same error, cannot go past it.
I found a solution on this forum but it only applies to MACOS, could not find anything suitable for windows 7 environment.
Also searche the web high and low and tried several different advice from people.
This has to be a bug with Itunes! I would like to hear from Apple developers and programmers why I have to suffer so much to sync my device.
As a last resort I am planning to rebuild windows 7 from scratch but is is a big job.
Tried also to disable firewall, antivirus, check the apple windows services are running, nothing works to get me past this error.
Please help someone!
Thanks and regards
Alfred

"I then followed a tip found in PCWorld and performed the following:
1. Make sure iTunes isn't running.
2. Click Start, type regedit, then press Enter.
3. Navigate to this Registry location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
4. Look in the main pane for a key that refers to iTunes. If you find one, delete it, then exit the Registry.
5. Start iTunes. The offending message should be gone!"
This actually worked for me! I have struggeled with this error for years, and now it's gone. Thanks!

ITunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later

i just had this message for the fist time when trying to sync my iphone 4: "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later"
what i did is that:
- i unplugged my iphone 4
- clicked on "edit" in itunes, "Preferences", "devices", "reset synck history"
- Uninstalled itunes
- restarted the lap top
- reinstalled itunes
then i tired and the iphone synced fine. i tried it a few times and it was fine.
but i have 2 questions:
1- could this be cause by excessive syncing, since i do sync my phone almost twice a week.
2- is what i did good enough for a solution or do i need to rename folders and resort to the other solutions provided?

OK
Here's what I did:
1. Copy all of the contents in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support folder, overwriting anything it if asked.
2. Rright-click on the Computer icon on your desktop (or in the start menu) and select Properties. Click on Advanced System Settings. Then clik on Environment Variables. If you don't have a user variable called PATH, click New... and add it, or select it and click Edit...
Now, add to the beginning of the user PATH the following two directories:
c:\program files\commmon files\apple\Apple Application Support
c:\program files\commmon files\apple\Mobile Device Support
Be sure to put a semi-colon (;) between the two directories.
Click OK three times to save your settings.
Step #2 might require a reboot.
After these 2 steps sync works again (touch wood).
Seems that sometimes there's an additional possibility (which I didn't perform):
If you are still having problems after following these steps, it's possible another application uses one of the same DLLs as iTunes (but a different version) and Windows is finding it in the PATH before the Apple file paths added above. You can check this by opening a DOS command prompt window and executing the following commands:
where libxml2.dll
where sqlite3.dll
where libtidy.dll
Examine the pathnames listed by these commands. If any paths are listed before the ...\Common Files\Apple\... paths, you'll want to remove those paths from the PATH environment variable.

Itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. What is this?

When I sync my iphone 3G with itunes, I get message as follows.
itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services.
What is this?

I had nearly the same problem. I am also a user of UltraEdit from IDM Computer Solutions. Are you? My problem was fixed by adjusting to remove a conflict between the two. (both use same-named DLL but different versions.) If this sounds like your issue, post here and I'll reply with more detail.

ITunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services

Hello,
My itunes says : "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services", when i connect my iphones.
My iphones sync fine on my other computer.
This problem occurred when formatting my pc from work.
And this problem prevents me only sync tab "info" (contacts, calendar and Outlook). This does not prevent me to synchronize other tabs.
I already tried to reinstall itunes, and the diagnostic option.
Thanks in advance.

This problem has been ongoing since 9.2 came out ... i.e. quite some time.
I uninstalled and then removed all traces off Apple applications, then reinstalled back to the prior version and ran with no problems.
When I upgraded to V4 iPhone software I had to upgrade again and ran into the same problem.
Upgrading from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 was of no benefit.
I have purchased Sync2, set up a gmail account and sync over wireless from Outlook to gamil, then from gamil to iPhone.
This only does calendar and contacts (haven't found a solution for notes) but waiting for Apple to sort this will probably see you old and gray.
Good luck.

Hello. I am owner of an iPod Touch 5gen. I have an error "iTunes was unable to load provider data from sync services".

I just got my iPhone today and connected it to iTunes but it's saying iTunes was unable to load provider data from sync services?

I just got my iPhone today from Sprint and connected it to iTunes but it's telling me iTunes was unable to load provider data from sync services. My Safari works somewhat fine but my apps won't load... what's wrong? They're able to start up and then they tell me they're unable to connect. My e-mail that was supposed to be set up earlier disconnected and wouldn't work until I reconnected my wifi and worked for a moment I believe. Now on the bottom of my inbox it keeps saying "checking for mail..." On top of that I think my safari randomly slows down at times because when I started typing this I could move around websites fine and now it's barely loading.

Time for a restore. Once you do make sure you set the phone up as a new iPhone.

Every time I sync my iPod or iPad I get an error message "unable to load provider data from Sync Services"

Every time I connect my my iPod or iPad to my laptop I get the error message "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later" There is no problem with my internet connection and syncing then seems to occur OK. I upgraded to iOS 5 recently but have been getting the problem for several months. Due to recent problems with iCloud I am now concerned that this may be something significant that could lead to my losing data.
Anyone got any ideas?

ITunes 10.5.3, Unable to Load Class Data from Sync Services, Crashes Repeatedly

Ever since iTunes 10.5.3 on my Windows 7 x64 box, I've been having serious problems keeping iTunes running:
1) Any time I connect my iPhone or iPad, or any time they attempt to sync over WiFi, I get the 'Unable to load class data from sync services' error. It's worth mention that the iPhone or iPad do actually then proceed to sync correctly, and all media / data is synchronized successfully, as far as I've been able to tell. I've reset sync history, restored the iPhone and iPad, manually moved the SyncServices directory, set both the iPhone and iPad up as new, completely uninstalled iTunes and the mobile device software, re-installed, and *nothing* I do fixes this issue or even seems to impact it. Uninstalling iTunes 10.5.3 and reinstalling iTunes 10.5.2 resolves this error.
2) iTunes 10.5.3 has serious crashing problems on my machine, though I've searched through forums and found a lot of other people with the problem. In my case, sporadically as iTunes access the iTunes store (for example, I can always make it happen by subscribing to the Diggnation podcast and telling it to refresh the podcast), I get a full application crash which generates the following event in the event log:
Faulting application name: iTunes.exe, version: 10.5.3.3, time stamp: 0x4f14cc3d
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17651, time stamp: 0x4e211319
Exception code: 0x80000003
Fault offset: 0x0001280c
Faulting process id: 0x564
Faulting application start time: 0x01cce78789dc009a
Faulting application path: D:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll
Report Id: ecc77400-537a-11e1-b809-00248c196007
Again, uninstalling iTunes 10.5.3 and re-installing iTunes 10.5.2 fixes this issue as well, but I really shouldn't have to do that. Is there any actual solution to these problems other than dowgrading to an older version?
Yes, I'm running current malware protection (and my system is clean) and yes, I've already checked any other obvious culprits to make sure I don't just have a corrupt library or file somewhere that's causing it. My Windows 7 install is completely up to date from a Windows Update perspective and also from a driver perspective (even including the motherboard and chipset drivers). I made sure to do a system file integrity check (sfc /scannow) and it confirmed my install of Windows isn't suspect, but beyond all that I was able to reproduce these failures on a completely separate machine running Windows 7 x64, without any of my media library or data on it -- iTunes 10.5.3 just seems to be bad news on Windows 7 x64 for me, even though I know there are definitely people are using it successfully. I don't get any other application crashes for any other applications, and I've never had an issue like this with any previous version of iTunes...
Last but not least, in case it matters, I'm running iOS 5.0.1 on both the iPhone4 and the iPad2. The iPhone4 is the GSM AT&T model and the iPad2 is the CDMA Verizon model.

OK, I've given up. Uninstalled iTunes 10.5.3 permanently. It's a shame, 10.5.2 works perfectly but 10.5.3 is a complete and total cluster for me.
Anyone with the same problems who hasn't done this already, just uninstall iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Service in your Add/Remove Programs, then re-install iTunes 10.5.2. You won't lose your library or any settings or apps, it will just go back to working again.
I wish Apple would acknowledge this so that I'd at least know it would be fixed in the future.
