Just had to replace iPad and itunes has following error. "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Servies. Reconnect or try again later." I read that others suggest uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If I do this, will I lose my old iPad's backup that I need to restore to this new one?

I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
Getting there.... I hope!

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.

The article says that I should upgrade to the latest iTunes. I am on the latest iTunes version.
If you could read just a tiny little bit further, under the "Additional Information" section immediately after that, it says:
If you are still experiencing this issue when syncing, or have not installed Xcode 4 and get this alert:
Follow the troubleshooting steps in Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6: Resetting the SyncServices folder.
If the issue is still unresolved, follow steps in Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing.
Have you tried those measures?

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.

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.

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. 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!

Also i am unable to sync my mobileme through pc, mobileme controll planel closes upon pressing "sync" button
any suggestions? Thanks

I get this same message when restoring from the v 2.0 firmware update. The impact for me is that my phone is wiped clean an none of my historical data has been restored to the phone - call history, voicemail, contacts, messages, email settings, photos, music, podcasts, videos. I have followed the suggested protocals and continue to get the same error - "reconnect or try again later" and iphone "restore process".

Just had to replace iPad so I need to restore from other backup. iTunes has sync error that others say require uninstall and reinstall. "iTunes was unable to load prover data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." If I uninstall, will I lose
