    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable to sync your iPhone and receive an error.  I was start with restarting iTunes and your computer.  Once this is done, test the results by attempting a sync.  If the issue persists, go through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • "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: "...because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone."

    The error message in iTunes says:
    "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "XXXXX's" iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone."
    Relatively new iPhone, sync was working fine until I installed updates, how bad an idea is that? At any rate, after the updates were installed the calendar won't sync.
    iPhone 4 running 4.1 (8B117)
    WinXP Home running Service Pack 3 and all subsequent updates
    Any suggestions - other than I shoulda bought a Droid?

  • 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.

  • ITunes could not sync calendars to ---'s iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone

    iTunes could not sync calendars to ---'s iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. How can this be resolved? I can figure out if the sync server failed to sync then iTunes would not sync the calendars.  Everything syncs on my iPad mini 3 wifi and my iphone syncs my contacts but not the calendars. So what gives?

    Brenden,
    thanks for the reply, but the troubleshooting tips seemed to concentrate on 'Lion"," Snow Leopard" and the like, I haven't a clue what any of that is. I am using Windows 7 Pro with Service Pack 1 on my desktop and my iPhone is using iOS 8.1.2, as is my iPad mini.  As I said on my previous post, syncing on my iPad mini works fine, It is just the iPhone that fails to sync the calendars. Hopefully a solution can be found as it is difficult to keep things synced on my iPad  and then have to add everything manually onto my iPhone.
