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.

  • Error during iTunes 10 installation - iPod Service failed to start

    Hi Everyone,
    I am getting this error during installation of iTunes 10(Windows XP).
    +*"Service (iPod Service)failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services."*+
    *Can any of you please help?* I ignored it first and continued with the installation. Then tried to update iphone to iOS 4.1 which crashed. I had to go to Apple store to get my iphone restored. I am having trouble installing itunes and cannot restore data from backup.
    I tried uninstalling itunes and deleted all itunes data as suggested by the guy at the Apple store. Still not working. Will appreciate if someone can help resolve this error. Thanks.

    I just got off the phone with Apple tech support. The problem with that iPod Service is a problem with XP Service Pack 3, but can be fixed this way:
    1. Right click on "My Computer", select "Properties"
    2. Click on the Advanced tab.
    3. in the Startup and Recovery section, click the Settings button.
    4. Click the Edit byutton to edit your boot.ini file in notepad.
    5. Look for "/noexecute=" in the file and change the word after the equals to "optin" (sorry - I don't remember what the original setting was anymore).
    6. Save the file, close notepad, click the OK button on Startup and Recovery window, then reboot.
    The warning message about the iPod Service should stop. Also, this helps with iPhones that are not recognized by Windows or iTunes after an install fails.

  • Cannot install itunes 9.2 - bonjour service failed to start

    Like in many of the other topics, i am unable to install itunes 9.2 on my computer.
    I have checked (and edited if needed) exceptions in firewall etc. I have disabled said security as well. I have even uninstalled all AV.
    I have tried the registry changes to grant the bonjour service full priviledges.
    I have tried giving the bonjour service administrator rights in the service itself.
    I have tried retrying at the error dialog extensively (although i did not put much hope into this one).
    I have tried installing airport for windows, which temporarily seemed to get bonjour working, but again it died during itunes 9.2 installation with the same error.
    Edit:
    I have also (almost obvious) tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes/quicktime/bonjour many times, both in my standard startup setup as well as in msconfig'ed startups enabling only specifics to said programs.
    Edit end
    The exact error from the event viewer=>Windows Logs=>System is as follows:
    The Bonjour Service service terminated with a service-specific error 6 (0x6).
    Now, i would very much like this to be fixed as soon as possible (as i'm sure the rest of the users would as well), so i can actually use my iphone for music i already own, manage it and so on and so forth.
    I have already spent more than 8 hours on this specific problem since yesterday, which is quite frankly ridiculous. Especially in the context of apple products, which in the past prided themself on being extremely stable and userfriendly unlike most other platforms. I do realize that this does not apply in the same sense regarding the crossover between platforms, but as far as i can tell this problem is an old injury attested by many people on many versions of itunes (and other software) in relation to bonjour.
    Edit:
    I am running 64bit (and ofcourse using the 64bit installers)

    Update:
    Well, i called my telecom company and spoke with the same guy i spoke with earlier. He found a technician, but unfortunately he had no ideas for a solution. Instead i was told to reformat.
    Now, as i have quite a lot of stuff on my computer which i should back up but haven't yet, this is a very unappealing option to me. Also, from reading these forums there have been several examples of the installer failing in one way or the other even on fresh systems. And lastly, just because a piece of software works on one computer but not on another it doesn't mean i should reformat.
    Now, if i had been told the error 6 (0x6) meant something i couldn't rectify without doing a complete reinstall, then i would probably have been ok with it. So that's what i told the supporter. He however had been told by his boss to tell me off with that.
    So instead i asked to speak with his boss. We then spoke a little backwards and forwards about support responsibility, when it is ok to ask for a reformat and so on and so forth. I tried to tell him that it was clear to me that it wasn't really their responsibility (as it's a software problem unrelated to the iphone itself), but that it couldn't be my responsibility either to make that clear for apple.
    So after a while i was put on hold for a good 10-20 minutes. After which he told me that he understood my situation and that he would talk to their chief of the supporting division (or something) as that guy is in charge of the contact with apple.
    So all in all i didn't get any further, but i did get them to acknowledge the problem at hand and take it further towards a solution.
    I'm guessing that the next step will be communication with apple regarding bonjour and either direct apple support, or feedback from apple about what the bonjour error actually means for a start.
    Regardless, if i am not contacted mid next week, i will be calling and emailing them once more.

  • Can't finish iTunes install. Message: Bonjour services failed to start..

    I already had iTunes on my PC, but my daughter got a new iPod as a gift and the directions said to install the latest iTunes software. Once I did that I got almost all the way through the install and got this message: "Bonjour services failed to start. Verify sufficient privileges to start system services." I spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support as they walked me through several uninstalls and installs. Nothing has worked. They are now saying that it must be a Microsoft problem. I am the only administrator on my PC.
    Can anyone help?

  • Cannot transfer videos into my ipod touch after upgrading to iOS5 and iTunes 10.5! HELP!

    before i upgraded into iOS5 and iTunes 10.5 i was still able to transfer videos with mp4 format.
    after i upgrade, i cant transfer anymore.
    I CANT TRANSFER THE SAME VIDEOS I HAVE.
    I CANT VIEW VIDEOS THAT I DOWNLOADED FROM THE APPLE TRAILERS.
    what went wrong?
    any solution?
    is apple even aware of this?
    i need to sync my videos
    i dont like syncing them on a third party app.
    please help and advice.
    thanks!

    I am encountering the same problem. And its really frustrating to see that the same videos that played earlier cant be played now. WHY?
    There are some itunes forums that give the solution as :
    Add the video to iTunes. Convert it into correct format using iTunes. But when i try to add, it doesn't even show the video on the list. No error message is also shown to indicate why the video is not added even to iTunes. Earlier it added but gave error when doing sync. Now i cant even Add.
    Does anyone know if how to make APPLE aware of this?

  • Address book groups not updated in iSync and iTunes-iPod-info sync

    Changes to address book groups are not reflected in iSync and iTunes. I.e. if I remove a group or add a group it is still the old list of groups that is listed in iSync and iTunes available for syncing with my phone or iPod. How do I get these list to be updated and reflect the present list in Address Book?

    The suggested resolution essentially said "delete the address book and start over."
    Ok, I can see how this will help but... a few questions:
    1. How to I re-load the address book with my 500+ contacts without loosing my groups and all the data? The suggestion in the other discussion doesn't give any guidance on this
    2. What caused the problem to begin with? In other words, how can I prevent it from happening again?
    I discovered the syncing problem about the time I did the following three things:
    1. Upgraded to 10.5.2
    2. Upgraded my iPhone (and iTunes) to 1.1.4
    3. Installed Bento (possibly a red herring) -- but it DOES connect to address book

    In addition,  my RESTORE of purchase for Inn App Purchase of "Art Sense"  doesn't work on both iOS5 and iOS6.
    So far, the developer said his app is working ok and can do nothing because he can do nothing. Apple won;t allow.

    Such a shame.

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.
