"Sync Server could not Sync with iPhone". What is the Sync Server?
Whenever I sync iPhone and Windows computer via USB I get a message saying "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone".
What is wrong?
I used this on a Mac, but it might apply to iTunes in Windows:
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??
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.

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing. -
i've had a 4s for two years and today when i turned it on it told me my phone could not be activated becasue the activation server could not be reached. what should i do? i'm lost.
i do not know what this means. I purchased the phone brand new two years ago and have never had any problems with it. The message i am getting reads:
"your iphone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. try connecting your iphone to itunes (which i don't have) to activate it, or try again over cellular connection in a couple minutes. (which i have tried several times with no success) you can also try to activate using wi-fi connection (which i do not have). if this problem persists, contact apple support at apple.com/support." -
Iphone 3gs won't back up in itune on the computer, but it will sync. the message read on the computer is because the back up was corrupt or not compatible with iphone. Delete the back up for this iphone then try again.
Launch iTunes. Then from the menu bar at the top of your screen click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
Delete any iPhone backups.
Quit then relaunch iTunes. Connect the iPhone to your computer and try syncing.

I can not activate my iphone 3GS because the activation server is temporarily unavailable and takes about an hour so I can do?
Sometimes the activation server is just not available for a short time. Trying again usually corrects this problem. But as Peter Gillespie suggests, if the iPhone you are trying to activate has ever been jailbroken, or the computer you are using to activate the phone has been used to jailbreak an iOS device then you will get the Activation Server not Available message.

Help me! I can't purchase any. I'm buying gems in-game. There always a message saying 'Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed.' What's the problem? I have $100.63 credits. I can't use them. I just change my name in my apple id. Can anyone help me?
It's still the same message. Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed. For Assistance, Contact iTunes support at www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/.

I have a PC, Iphone and Ipad. The IPhone synchs but an IPad sync generates a "could not connect to Iphone 0xE8000065" error!
It thinks I am syncing the Iphone again as opposed to the Ipad.
I rebooted both but Apple failed to sync the Ipad again.
Thoughts?I have been syncning fine until this so I was relcutant to believe anyhting need to be changed.
Howver I control - alt - deleted to get MS task manager and then disabled all Apple processes and then rebooted. I also renamed "Ipad" as Ipad1.
Not sure then which if either was responsible for the cure but it is now working.
Why do Microsoft and Apple find it so difficult to play together? -
I downloaded the new update for the iPhone 4, then left my computer and it went to sleep. I came back to it to update my phone and the message "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted." How can I fix this? I have already checked my LAN settings.
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
I have completed the steps given to me to have my iphone 5 no longer be disabled. I have completed the steps multiple times but my computer continues to say "The Iphone spftware update server could not be contacted." I have officially ran out of patience and I am in need of some assistance. I have never disabled my Iphone before and i am having some difficulties trying to get it restored. Please give me any helpful tips possible!!!!
Thanks, Iphone 5 loverTemporarily disable any security software on the computer.

I recently bought a used iPod Classic (my previous one was stolen). I still had my iTunes library on my computer so I was just going to hook it up and sync my library over, replacing what was on there from the previous user. When I first hooked it up to my computer (Windows 7 64-bit) there was a message saying the drivers were not installed properly. I un-plugged it, and plugged it back in to the same result. I tried 1 more time and didn't get the error message. I then opened iTunes and clicked on the iPod. I checked for updates, then clicked "Restore this iPod". Next, I set it up to sync music, and the sync began. It seemed to work for a while, the "Syncing iPod" message was displayed at the top, and it said it was copying songs over. It did this for about 10 minutes before I finally got the following message:
"Itunes could not copy (name of song) to the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-53)"
After that happens, everything seems to freeze up. iTunes says it's still syncing, but nothing ever seems to happen. If I click the eject button, nothing happens either. I eventually have to just disconnect the iPod. The iPod seems frozen for a while, then it seems to reboot itself (the gray apple window displays), then the interface displays and I can get to the songs on there. But, only a very small portion of my library makes it to the iPod. I've tried several times now and it always seems to be the same songs that DO make it onto the iPod. However, it's a different song listed in the error message each time, so it doesn't seem to be just 1 song causing the problem. Also, once I hook the iPod back to the computer, Windows displays a message prompting me to scan the drive and fix errors. I did it once and it said it found some errors and fixed them.
I saw this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3924425
and some people were suggesting removing everything from your library then re-adding it, in case the paths were messed up. I tried that and still got the same results. I also updated iTunes to the latest version, and I've tried different USB ports and 2 different USB cables.
I also found instructions for a batch file you can run that, I believe, updates the iTuens DLLs, I did that as well but it did not help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
What else can I try to fix this?bump (if that's allowed)

......................... silistra-bg.net failed test FsmoCheckSome troubleshooting ideas:
0. Check if the DCs can resolve each other using their DNSHostName. If not, this indicates some DNS misconfiguration
-- you need to fix that first.
1. Check if the both the DCs are pointing to the same DNS server (or DNS servers that are replica of each
other). Run: "ipconfig /all" and check its output. If not, correct the DNS client settings and run dcdiag after sometime.
2. Check if dynamic updates are "turned on" on the DNS server.
3. Try re-registering the DCs SRV records by either restarting netlogon service or by running the following
command:
nltest.exe /dsregdns -

Sold my MacBook,left with iPhone,what's the way that I don't loose the data
I have sold my PC (Macbook), where all my synchronization was done.
How can I get out the data off my iPhone on my new Dell computer? I didn't create any kind of backup from MacBook, if this is needed with dealing with the problem.
I'm ready to use even SSH if that can help me, on which directory on iPhone is stored music directory and video directory, what's the path for these directories?Would have been much better to back up the MacBook prior to selling it. YOu'll need 3rd party software to reverse the normal sync direction, try TouchCopy (google it).

Urgent--custom servlet not working with https/gateway of the portal server
We have created the custom servlet to add some more authentication to the login screen. I have explained detaildely below.
We have set if password reset change password screen should come by using identity server.
First screen comes which asks �user id� and �password�.
after this next screen comes with �old password�, �New Password� and �Confirm Password� (as we have forcefully asked user to change password after reset by using identity server ).
On this page we have added two new filed �Date of Birth� and �Date of Joining�.
And we are forcefully transferring request to our Custom Servlet which will validate the �Date of Birth� and �Date of Joining� from the database and submit the same a form as required by Login Servlet to validate the default parameters �old Password�, �New Password� and �Confirm Password� (which is the default validation without adding custom Servlet).
This whole process is working with �http� protocol and giving �unable to connect� host with �https� protocol.
Without custom Servlet process is like this, which is working
Login (usrid, password) � Login (Old Password, New Password, Confirm Password) � Portal home Page
With custom Servlet , Which is not working with �https� Protocol. we are getting the message "Authentication Failed" screen.
Login (usrid, password) --> Login (Old Password, New Password, Confirm Password , Date of Birth, Date of Joinig) --> Custom Servlet validate Date of Birth, Date of Joining --> Login (Old password, new Password, Confirm Password) --> Protal Home Page
This one works with http, whereas this one gives the "Authentication Failed" screen with the https.
Please let me know if anybody have implemented this and help me to resolve the issue.
Best Regards

I am trying to do an iCloud backup from my computer. I have been unable to do a backup from a wifi as I keep getting message that it cannot be completed. What is the secret to doing this from my computer, with my iphone plugged into same?
How are you trying to do it from your computer? Try plugging it into your charger while connected to wifi, then either lock the screen and wait (it should backup up ever 24 hours) or go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Back Up Now.
