My iphone4 will not sync

Every time i connect to itunes it asks me to "Set up your iPhone. Itunes gives me an error saying it cant be restored because the backup session failed, Why?

I'm doing my own reply, so others will benefit!!!!!!
I read a fix and applied it as follows and my sync went on beautifully.
Go to Start, Go to Programs, Go Accessories, RIGHT click on Command Prompt. 
Choose RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Type---    Netsh windsock reset   ----then press enter and restart your computer.
IT WORKED WHEN I RAN ITUNES TO SYNC.  THANK GOODNESS!!! I DON'T REMEMBER WHO POSTED THIS FIX -BUT I SURE DO THANK YOU!!!

  • My iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes,

    my iPhone4 will not sync with iTunes, but Windows Explorer (Windows7) recognizes the iPhone is connected and will download photos from iPhone. 
    When I look at the Settings-General-iTunes Wifi Sync, it says "Sync will resume when "PC" is available."
    More details:
    I have three iPhone4 phones. 1 of them will Sync with iTunes, but the other 2 have this problem where they will not Sync.   All 3 phones recently were able to Sync, like 10 or 14 days ago.  I am Sync ing them all to the same PC and iTunes account.   No idea what has changed to cause 2 of the iPhones to be unable to Sync.   they both have the "Sync will resume when "PC" is available" message under the Wifi Sync menu.

  • Iphone4 will not sync notes to Apple Mail

    Notes created in Apple Mail will sync to the iPhone. I've tried "On My iPhone"and my gmail account as the default account in the iPhone settings. In Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings Notes is not an option to activate in POP (Verizon) email accounts although gmail does. iTunes Devices > Info > Other > Sync Notes box is checked.
    What am I missing?

    I read the Apple Support document you linked and verified the correct settings on both phone and Apple Mail. Since gmail was the only iPhone mail account with an option to turn on/off notes, the gmail account was added to the MBP Mail app. Now it syncs both ways. It seems POP servers will not perform two way sync.
    I find it curious I am channeled towards Google for sync functionality with calendars and mail even after giving MobileMe a go three times.
    Julian, thank you so much for your help! I resolved this issue quickly because of your quick and accurate reply.
    Cheers, Roger

  • Iphone4s will not sync...

    I have been trying to sync my iphone4s to itunes to transfer all my music from the library. I've plugged it in via USB but it's not even coming up as a recognised device! Any help or ideas?? (P.s i'm a bit of wombat when it comes to phones & pc's so simple terms would be beneficial!!)

    Hi, JonyG.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Sometimes when an iOS update is released there is a compatibility lag with certain features that requires an update to the vehicle.  I would first check with your vehicle manufacture for any firmware updates.  However, here is an article that has some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding car stereo connections and an iOS device.

  • Ical on iphone4 will not sync to ical on mac... help!

    I'm using OSX 10.6.8 and current itunes/iphone firmware. For some reason, I can only transfer my calendar events from my laptop to my phone and not vice-versa. I do a lot of scheduling on the go so most of my calendar entries are made or updated on my iphone. I need to be able to see these events on my mac's ical when making phone calls but haven't been able to sync my calendars (everything else sync's just fine).
    Anyone know how to fix this? I've tried all the other apple community suggestions but nothing is working.

    No. Lion conflicts with photoshop and lightroom which are both programs I use on a daily basis for work so I'm still using Snow Leopard (10.6.x vs 10.7.x).
    I used to back up my calendar using icloud but I quickly overloaded my icloud space so I went back to syncing to my mac.

  • IPhone4 will not sync and does not show up in a device list.

    My son's phone was originally listed under my Apple ID. 
    He has since created a new one and says he removed it. 
    He is now trying to go under mine again but Itunes does not recognize his phone is plugged in. 
    I tried checking his other id and it doesn't show any devices registered.
    I read on here that it should show any device and when it was registered so you couldn't do the switch within 90 days. 
    I also checked mine and it doesn't show registered on there either. 
    I just want to sync it with my apple ID. 
    We have tried all the troubleshooting steps on here with the phone as well as uninstalling and reinstalling itunes on the Mac.... and NOTHING. 
    Any suggestions????
    Thank you!

  • Iphone4 will not sync, back up file corrupt

    During the sync process my iphone was accidentally disconncted.  After restarting my computer and trying to again sync I received an error message stating the the back-up file is corrupt.  I followed the procedure to delecte the corrupt file and have recieved the same message.  I followed the process to uninstall / reinstall itunes and related files twice with same results.  Any ideas?

    I have the same issue.  I deleted all the backup's in Itunes, under preferences/devices.  But, I still have the corrupt backup error.
    I tried the advice of the post below of wjosten :"
    Your iPhone backup is stored here, navigate there and delete everything in the backup folder, but not the folder itself. You may have to turn show all hidden files & folders on to see it:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    I have Windows 7, but I don't see any of these folders.  I can't get past Users\ (username).  I can't find AppData, or Roaming, or Apple Computer, or MobileSync, or Backup.  I tried doing searches for each of the folders but I couldn't find any of those folders.
    Would it work to uninstall windows and reinstall it?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • ITunes will not sync with iPhone4

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone4 and I've Windows . Both iTunes and the phone are up to date. The last few weeks I can't get the phone to sync with iTunes. When it gets to stage 4 of 4, determining tracks to sync it freezes. At this stage I've reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, restarted the PC and phone countless times. I also (based on online help) unticked the songs box so when I synced it removed all the music from the phone. Then it would not sync anything back on. I have ran the self check in iTunes help and everything seems fine.
    I can't find any other info online and I'm fit to explode in frustration now.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated before I sign myself in.
