Outbound only PIM Sync is failing on Appointments

Our users are configured for One way sync only (outbound from siebel, and a few of our users are experiencing errors when trying to sync their appointments. The get unable to read application data errors. If they uncheck appointments in the PIM sync configuration, the sync completes for Contacts and To-Do's.
We tried uninstalling/reinstalling PIM sync, but to no avail.
1 Of the reps also mentioned having a 3rd party sync tool installed to sync from their outrlook to their Treo using Microsoft active sync. I didn't know if this was a factor, but had the rep uninstall that as well and still gets error.
Any suggestions??? The users in question happen to be the "power users" of the CRM application, and this is causing a hinderance to their performance.

I would recommend contacting On Demand customer care in reference to this issue.

CRM on demand/Pim sync want to sync appointment

Hello Experts
When i use Pim Sync to synchronize my appointments with CRM on demand Pim sync wants to add appointments that
arent deposited in my CRM System.
For example certain public holidays.
Has this acurred to anybody except me?
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Kind regards

Shawn,
Why not try to turn off log file logging? I have this to turn it on I assume there is a way to turn it off.
Oracle Customer Care will require the following information when investigating issues with PIM Sync.
1.     The version of PIM Sync. You can find this in the readme.txt file in the installed program file (by default this is C:\Program Files\Oracle Siebel CRM On Demand\Oracle Siebel PIM Sync On Demand)
2.     Log files. To switch on logging please follow this procedure:
-     find the iloptcfg.cfg file. By default this configuration file is placed in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Oracle Siebel PIM Sync On Demand
-     make a copy of this file that you can use to restore your original configuration
-     edit iloptcfg.cfg using Notepad
-     find the section with the heading [ilwin]
-     change the MultiJobTraceLog value to 200 (the default is 1). This setting will generate the PTTrace.log file
-     change the TifLog value to 100 (the default is 0). If this parameter does not exist, please add it (note that the TifLog label is case sensitive, so enter TifLog=100). This setting will generate the tif.log file
-     Save the iloptcfg.cfg file
-     rename or copy any existing PTTrace.log and tif.log files so that they are not lost
-     rerun the PIM Sync and reproduce the error
3.     Take copies of the PTTrace.log and tif.log files. There should also be a file called IS4Web.log. By default these log files are all placed in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Oracle Siebel PIM Sync On Demand
cheers

IPad won't sync. Getting message "The iPad "Jennifer iPad" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."

Getting message "The iPad “Jennifer iPad” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." Or it looks like its going to sync but then I see it flash, "Cancelling Sync." The only thing I can think I have done differently is I purchased a video from iTunes on my iMac. Want to transfer it to the iPad.
Thanks... this is so frustrating!!!

Not sure if this will help but I would try disconnecting your iPad then restarting your computer. Also reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appear. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem. After both have started back up reconnect your iPad and try to sync again.
Im presumming here that you had been able to sync your ipad before you purchased the new video. If it fails to sync after the restart I would deselect the new video you purchased and try syncing. It just could be there is something wrong with that video file.

"The ipod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" What does this mean?

When syncing on iTunes, the syncing meter runs in iTunes in my computer but nothing appears in my device (It should have Sync In Progress). Whenever I edit my music files (editing title, album and artwork), it edits in iTunes but when I eject my device, nothing's changed. My device is a 3rd Gen iTouch and this is my second 3rd gen iTouch unit. I lost my first unit and am familiar with how it operates so I do not understand what is causing this. The 4 view option buttons "show items in a song list... etc" (beside the search field, upper right corner) won't work. Now in my 3rd attempt to sync, as i right click on my ipod name in iTunes to select sync, this appears ,"The ipod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" and my only option is to click OK. Please help. My apps are kinda slow too and theres a slight delay opening files and apps in my iTouch.

ITunes could not sync calendars to the iPod because sync server failed to

I have been having a problem with my iPod touch and syncing the calendar with my PC I keep getting this error message +iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPod "Peters iPod" because sync server failed to sync the iPod+ It could be coincidence but this problem began right after I got my Verizon iPhone and loaded that into my iTunes, I never get this message on my iPhone and have received it only twice on my iPad. I called Apple Care and they suggested that I remove and reinstall iTunes and QuickTime and they sent me a link on how to remove them in a particular sequence...I followed their advice but it didn't help so I called them back and they said I must not have followed the sequence and to try again...needles to say I am frustrated because it wasn't that complicated I removed it as directed and still I get the error message...if anyone has any suggestions *please help!!*

Thanks, Stuwawah. Tried this. Although Notes did sync, and although the calendar info was posted to iPod, we haven't fixed the problem yet. New symptom to report. When I opened "calendar" on the iPod, I was able to tap on an event, but I can't tap my way back to any other view of "calendar." The "<--calendars" button is missing. Is there a trip to the Apple Store in my near future?

"iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone".

I get the message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" every time I sync the iPhone 3GS with iTunes by USB. Can anyone help? Please !!!!

I posted the following to "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "xx" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. What does this mean??" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15820680#15820680
I haven't seen it mentioned but the secret is to
Sync only selected calendars
Select "Remove Calendars" from the popup window
(This is ambigous: from where are the calendars removed? From the device being synced to)
Click apply.
Oops! My memory is already gone stale. I think I left no calendars selected, then clicked apply. Then I selected the calendars that I wanted, then clicked apply.
In any case, I had a blank calendar on my iPad and then I had all the updated events that I wanted on my iPad.
Thanks to all who provided some of the essential clues to resolving this problem.

Sync problem on iPhone4 IOS5 and iTunes 10.5: Sync service failed to start

After painful upgrade to IOS 5.0 on my iPone 4 which suffer from er 3014 unt I do full restore in other computer. Now two new problems cropped up again:
A.
When I sync IPhone with iTunes, the sync process started and freeze at "waing f sync service to start" and for 5 minutes or so, it end up with a dialog stated that the iPhone could not be synced because sync service failed to start
To remedy, I have to click t start Sync again, and thios time, it will be completed.
To solve tjhis, I have done the following, and the probelm still persist:
a. Reinstal,l to repair iTunes
b. Delete the Lockup folder
c. Reset sync history
d. reboot iPhone
All cannot solve the problem. Help please, how to solve this problem?
Also, when I backup my iPhone, it freeze at "Backing up iPhone" fr about 10-15 minutes, then start backup, until nearly finished, then it restart backup process again by itself, and again, freezing at "Backing up iPhone" for another 5 minutes, then it start backup and complete. I check the backup time in Preferences, it's correct.
To solve this, I delete the backup, and start new backup, the process went OK. But when I start backup again, the above symptom (backing up, and restart backup again to complete) persist
I have quite a rough experiences with iTunes-iPhone-iPad sync and backup all the times. Can the sync and backup process mad better and real trouble free Apple?
Help and suggestion please. I sync iPhone and iPad2 with WIndow XP PC. iPad2 do not have problem. The problem is with iPhone4 IOS 5 32 GB (less than 2 GB free space on iPhone remains)

I have very similar problems with my brand new iPhone and iTunes. iTunes is virtually unusable even after multiple installs, uniinstalls, and reinstalls. Sync fails silently. Drop-down menus won't stay visible long enough to click any options. Phone-support blames it on the fact that I use Windows XP however the iTunes page says right there: "iTunes 10.5 for Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7". The only program I have problems with is iTunes.
He said I have to revert to iOS 4 but he also said he thought that was impossible. What does the OS on my phone have to do with the behavior of iTunes running on my computer? iTunes crashed and had failures both before and after I updated to iOS 5. Typical bad tech support just like every other company. I thought Apple was different. Apple really stepped in it this time and it stinks. I've seen a huge number of new problem reports here and elsewhere.

MobileMe calendar sync consistently failing to keep things in sync

Hello,
I've been noticing for quite a while that in my setup, mobileme sync keeps failing to keep contacts in sync.
My setup is quite basic: 1 iphone, 1 mobileme account, 1 macbook pro.
The iphone is set to push contacts, calendars, and bookmarks.
The mac is set to sync automatically the changes.
Whenever I modify a contact card in my iphone, after a few days I notice the data has been reverted back to the original data. For example, I add a phone number to X contact. After a few days, the number has disappeared. Beejive uses the contacts to store the IM id of each contact: however contacts consistently lose this added data after a while.
I cannot tell exactly how long it takes, because I don't look for it, I jsut notice after a while.
I first noticed this almost 1 year ago when I bought my iphone 3g.. I was all happy taking pictures of my co workers to store in their contact cards.. after a few weeks I found a few of them who I was absolutely sure I had taken pictures of, but their contact cards were empty.
A few months ago I upgraded to a family pack, and just to be sure I created a new mobileme account and changed to that account at my mac and iphone.. but the problem keeps happening.
Any ideas? Am I the only one having this kind of paranormal mobileme sync?

Same here. We have two iphones (his and hers) which we sync to the desktops and with each other using MobileMe. Just this week we noticed it: every time my wife enters an event from her iphone it creates a new calendar that shows up in Mobile Me and on my iphone and contains not only the new entry but assorted other entries (not very many) that were formerly displayed in the default calendar. Oddly, while MobileMe and my iphone both show two calendars, my wife's iphone only shows one calendar that has ALL the entires on it. Very strange. Apple must have made some change recently that causes this. Hope they fix it soon.

Sync failure because itunes sync server failed to sync the iPhone

I have an iPhone sync problem that started when I updated to iTunes 7.4.2. One person's solution of removing the "MobileSync" folder did not work for me. (Note that my MobileSync Folder is in my Library/Application Support Folder.) So, I am still searching for the fix. Here is the exact error message that I have been getting for about a month now, "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "My iPhone" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone." I already tried re-installing iTunes and restarting the iPhone, both to no avail. PLEASE HELP!

I am running Mac OS 10.4.10 and with it, now, the Syncing is performed with the .Mac System Preference, not with iSync.
For a .Mac account only.
FYI, If you press the "Advanced" Button within the .Mac System Preference, there is a "Reset Sync Data..." Button available that basically does something similar.
This is not similar and is for a .Mac account only - this feature provides for resetting synced data on your computer from the .Mac servers or resetting synced data on the .Mac servers from your Mac.
iSync is the conduit for syncing cell phones other than the iPhone or another device such as a Palm Pilot and using Reset Sync History clears the sync history for such devices including the iPhone.

The iPad could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish

Please help.
I've tried resetting my iPad several times and yet when I simply try to sync to iMac and deselect everything but music all I get is the message:
The iPad "J's Ipad" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish.
I've tried everything - any advice would be gratefully received!
Thanks,
J.

Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes. If not update and then try again. Of you still receive this error then attempt to backup the iPad. Then perform a restore from the backup.
The only time I have received this error was because iTunes was not updated to the most recent release.

Why does it sync session failed to start?

I went to add new music I downloaded and evertime I press Sync a warning pops up and says it failed to start the sync. Is there a reason why it is doing this? Also all the songs I have from CDs are showing up with a circle and stop sign in the middle the only songs I can listen to are the ones i have gotten from the iTunes store.

IPhone 3GS will not sync calendars because the sync server failed. Just installed Outlook 2010. Is there a fix for this?

My iPhone 3GS could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. Just installed Outlook 2010. Is there a fix for this?

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

ITunes could not sync contacts or iCal to the iPhone sync server failed

*+iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "Username" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone+*
I have read most of the post on this subject and have tried most of the solutions as they applied to me however resulting in same error message as above.
I have performed the following:
1. Reset iSync History
2. Installed the latest version of iTunes 7.5.2
3. Installed the latest version of iPhone software 1.1.2
4. Removed folders and files from the Library.
What I haven't done and only will do as a last resort.
1. Reinstall Tiger
2. Purchased and Installed Leopard
3. Restore iPhone settings
Does anyone have a viable solution? Thanks in advance!

I called Apple Tech Support and spoke with a Product Specialist. He helped me resolved the issue.

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?
