Make sure you don't have Restrictions enabled under Settings/General. If it's enabled, you might need to restart your phone afterwards.

Any ideas on what I need to do to get my iphone to talk to my itunes again please?

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

I'm trying to sync my iPhone4s, but everytime iTunes tries to sync, I get a message "This iPhone cannot sync because the sync session failed to start." I've tried restoring my phone, and all my software is up to date. How do I fix it?!

I'm trying to sync my iPhone4s, but everytime iTunes tries to sync, I get a message "This iPhone cannot sync because the sync session failed to start." I've tried restoring my phone, and all my software is up to date. It won't sync any of my songs/apps back to my phone. Somebody please help!

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

I am getting an error message that my Iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

I am getting an error message when trying to sync to my PC that says "The Iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" what setting is messed up?

The way I fixed this (though I'm using a iTouch 4G): disconnect your iPhone from the computer, shut down iTunes, then reset your iPhone by holding the Power/Sleep & Home buttons together for 10 seconds. Restart iTunes, then when your iPhone restarts, reconnect it to the computer, and everything should work fine

Try rebooting the computer and starting iTunes over again.

The iphone could not be sycned because the sync session failed to start

I usually have no problems with my iphone or mac, and can sync everything fine. But randomly today i tryed to sync some photos etc and it came up with this:
The iphone '_______ iphone' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

See:
iphone could not be synced sync session failed to start...: Apple Support Communities
Sync Session Failed to Start iTouch iOS5: Apple Support Communities

ERROR: "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.?"

I have iTunes 10.5 (whatever the most updated is) with the new iPhone 4S. Its new, i never dropped it, and i'm 99.99999% confident there's nothing wrong with it.
With that in mind, these last few days this strange error, "the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"... It used to sync properly but now it just doesn't sync at all.
I have Windows Vista also. This is not normal and i've never seen this before.
What can I do to fix this error?

The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

I am trying to sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes and I receive this "The iPhone 'XYZ's iPhone' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." I have synced this phone many times in the past without any issues and this error just started to occur. I have done all the usual: reset my phone settings, restarted my computer etc. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I could do?

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.
