    When i try to sync my ipad with the itunes on my computer it gives me an error message.  " The sync session failed to start.  How can i fix this??  I had to uninstall itunes on my computer because of runtime error R6034.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

    Did  you ever figure this out?  I followed these instructions and it  worked!  May have had something to do with the old MobileMe program  becoming obsolete.  After you click "Finder", then "Go", then hold down  "option" button, then click "library" folder, then follow folders as  listed.   I also deleted the MobileMeSyncClient folder (found in the  same location) since it is no longer in use either.

    this works...
    You   need to delete the MobilSync backup folder.  I have a Mac.  Went to   /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and deleted the Backup   folder.
    to   find your "library" folder you need to open "finder" then go to the  top  tool bar menu and open "go" then hold down the "option" button and   "library will appear in the "finder " menu on the left hand side...   cheers

  • IOS 5: The iPad "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.

    Am trying to migrate into the iCloud and updated:
    1. Mac Air to 10.7.2
    2. iTunes to 10.5.(141)
    3. iPad (1) to iOS 5 (9A334)
    Was able to sychronize and then found out I lost all my apps and rearranged them in iTunes and hoping I could resync them again and received:
    The iPad “...” could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.
    I saw various entries for this in the the communites mainly caused by earlier Betas but I haven't seen anything for the latest versions released last week.
    Anybody who can help?

    Try resetting your iPad an see if that will let you sync.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Try restarting your computer as well.

    In my case, resetting the sync history and disabling the add-ins fixed the problem.

    Hi hblower,
    As a first step, I would suggest quitting your open apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Then sign out of iTunes:
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
    Restart and/or reset the device:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    Are you running the latest version of iTunes?  If not, update the software and try syncing again …
    Cheers,
    Judy

  • HT1386 itunes comes up with message "the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" no matter what i do it wont sync it

    when ever i try to sync my phone itunes comes up with this message. this iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start. how do i fix this?

    iTunes
    The version of iTunes that comes with beta 2 cannot sync devices that have the beta 1 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following:
    Sync any devices that have beta 1 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 1.
    Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 2.
    Connect the device and install the beta 2 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.)
    After installing the beta 2 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.

    When I try to sync my Ipad Mini, I get an error message that says "sync session failed to start".  Anyone ever deal with this?

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart your iPad and try again. If it doesn't work with a restart of the iPad, try a reset of the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT1386 I am getting a message that says, "Failed to sync because the sync session failed to start?"  Any solutions?

    My wife dropped her iPad2 last week.  Since then one of her apps is not working correctly so I thought that I would sync the iPad because it has been a while.  When I plugged it in to my desktop computer through USB, I got the message "Failed to sync because the sync session failed to start."  I have never seen that message before and I am not sure what I can do now to sync my wife's iPad.  Any suggestions and/or help would be appreciated.

    I realize your device is different, but the solution will probably be identical. Read this thread:

    ...and follow the instructions later in the discussion.

    Hello Kwastfamily,
    It sounds like you are unable to print from your computer to your printer. I would run through the troubleshooting steps in this article:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Got the dreaded "sync session failed to start"

    OS 10.6.8,  iPhone 4, OS 5.01,  iTunes 10.5.1 (42).
    Woke up this AM to find my iPhone battery completely drained (never happened and have no idea why). Charged up to halfway and did a sync. Sync session failed to start.
    Used my regular user, etc. Had synced only a few days ago.
    Never have seen this problem, ever.
    Tried a restore (twice) nothing changed. All I have in my phone now are contacts and base apps. Nothing else.
    No issues with iTunes of my computer, though I did notice while doing a restore a couple little squiggles of garbage text (very small in gray) up the the left of the software install box.
    Do I have to submit to a complete uninstall and install of iTunes (not the easiest to do) to enable the phone to eventually sync correctly again?
    Read through other posts on this topic and most were on Windows machines, though I tried by deleting the last backup (no luck) The last full back up I have is one from Aug 2009 (when I bought this phone).
    Should I delete all backups? and try again?
    Was this related to the severe battery drain?
    TIA

    Think I fixed it.
    Tried the oddest suggestion yet from another thread on this same error message and it seems to have worked!
    Went to:
    Settings => Phone => My Number
    in my iPhone and deleted the +1 front of my phone number. Phone is now syncing as we speak.
    Is this a bug with the new OS?
