My phone will not sync in iTunes since I installed ios5.

I keep trying to sync and it says "waiting to sync" and then I get a message that says my phone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.

Hi Byron,
I was having the same problem, few days back. I rebooted my device, but it did not work. Then I uninstalled the iTunes. Upon again installing the same iTunes, it started to sync. But today again I am facing the same issue. What do u suggest?

3GS Voice Memo appears in phone will not sync to iTunes

Yes, I'm on an antiquated phone but refuse to switch until a real 4G iPhone is released!
I recorded a very important interview yesterday. No matter what I do it will not sync to iTunes on my MBP. I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and iTunes 10 with all updates applied.
I have gone through the recommended steps in other threads such as:
Consolidate my library.
Deleted playlists and re-created them.
Deselect sync items - sync - select sync items - sync
No go to all options. The memo is 30 minutes and too large to SMS or mail. Fortunately it's still on the phone, but i need to get it to my Mac to edit excepts and publish. Any suggestions?

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

My phone will not sync with itunes

itunes wil not sync my music to my iphone
i uninstalled itunes and downloaded a new one
it will backup my pnone, but as soon as it starts to sync it says it cant find the device on the iphone

Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, go to Devices (on the left side) and double click Devices. A window should come up on the right...It has Summary, Info, Music, etc on the top. Go through each tab and see if you have checked all the sync boxes that you want.
At the bottom of the page it says 'sync' or 'apply'
You may have to go to your 'playlist' and check the boxes that you want to go to your iPhone, to sync to your iPhone.

Phone will not sync with iTunes (5 and 6)

I posted this about a month ago and didn't get any help. Maybe a second time around will do the trick. Below is the original question. I don't want to keep restoring my phone to factory settings in order to sync music, so any other insight would be helpful. Thanks.
Hi - I'm sure this is more of a software or iTunes question but whenever I connect my iPhone to my computer, iTunes for some reason won't sync at all with my iPhone. I noticed this when I had the iPhone5 and recently upgraded to an iPhone6. I tried importing music and photos but it will just not work. I also tried checking sync w/ wifi and sync selected songs and photos only, but it won't even go as far as saving those settings on my iPhone. My iTunes indicates that it is syncing for about 1 second and then it'll go back to normal like nothing happened. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! By the way I am currently running mac os x version 10.6.8. My laptop is a little outdated and won't let me update iTunes or my software to a more recent version. Unless I'm being naive and missing something else here.
Thanks again,
Gerardo

I was able to fix a problem where iTunes 12.01 would not recognize my iPhone or iPad but the device WAS recognized in iPhoto.
Another website gave me the hint to download and re-install iTunes. I did this and it worked. (I also restarted both the Mac and iPhone and iPad afterward for good measure).
Here is the URL for download:

IPod will not sync with Itunes since updated to 7.2034 error 1418

The IPod still works when not connected to PC but when connected an error message comes up that it is corrupted and will need to be restored. When this attempted error 1418 eventually appears.
I have tried by resetting the Drivers in windows - updating didnt work so deleted and restored USB Mass Storage Drivers
Have set up and run the appleipod.bat still didnt work
Have tried to reformat IPod as a drive but I couldnt get that to work but that might be how I attemted it. using "Run" Format g:\(g being the Ipod Mass Storage drive name)
One other point is that the Ipod has lost its name
So does any one have any other solutions

Thanks deggie
I have been to the local apple store in the end and they tried on a Mac, the IPod worked OK, and then they used a Mac in XP - the connecton was very slow but worked also. Their surgestion Copy Itune files to extenal hard drive and reinstall Itune again. Copy back music before running ITunes
This worked and all back to normal. It therefore was a problem with corrupted Itunes in windows. The Ipod is now listed in My Computed correctly as well now.
Thanks again for help

I just bought an iphone 4s from a friend and it will not sync to iTunes

I just bought an iphone 4s and the phone will not sync to itune. I have the music that I bought from itunes but not my other music. And when I do plug the phone up to my computer it will say that the phone is hooked up but iTunes will not show my phone like my ipod shuffle shows up on iTunes.

I just got an iphone 4s. My iphone will not sync with itunes

My phone will not sync with itunes without 10.6.3 itunes which is not compatible with the software that is currently on my mac book. However, My mac does not have a software update available. HELP

It would help if you told us which version system software you have on your Macbook and which version of iTunes and what system requirements say on the side of the phone's box you actually need.

My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later."

If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

I lost all the songs on my itunes and now my phone will not sync with out loosing all my music

my computer hard drive crashed and i had to re download itunes and now my phone will not sync without erasing all my music

That is correct. The iphone will sync with one and only one computer/library at a time. If you sync to another then it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer/library.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You will also need to enter one unique contact and calendar entry in the computer . When you first sync, you should get the option to merge. Otherwise this data will be erased as well.
Much easier to use your backup copy to put everything back.

Iphone 4 will not sync with itunes on Windows 7 64 bit

My iphone 4 will not sync with itunes on Windows 7 64 bit. My computer recognizes the iphone but Itunes does not. Any suggestions?

First it told me to uninstall itunes and install a windows 64 bit version which I did, the phone still won't sync
At the same time the itunes won't access the store
I've never accessed the store before or synced the phone
I live in a country without apple stores and geniuses so this is really the only way someone can help me
