Sync Services
I am using the Mac Version 10.3.1 of iTunes, iPhone OS 3.1.3 and iPad iOS 4.3.3.
When I insert either of my iDevices (iPhone 1st Gen and iPad 1st Gen) into their docks and connect them to my iMac, iTunes tells me this:
I then dismiss this by clicking OK. I try to sync my device and at the end of the sync, this message pops-up:
Apparently, my backup failed. However, I am still able to get my new photos from iPhoto '11 and any new songs I downloaded on iTunes over onto my iDevice. Is there any way to fix this problem? I saw a fix for this same problem, however, it was on a windows machine. Is there a mac fix.
Thanks for all the Help!!!
If I remember correctly, red means that the data is in the client, but not in the truth (Sync Server).
You can enable logging to see error messages and the like by doing the following:
- Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal
- Type "defaults write -g SyncServicesLogEverything YES"
This will generate a log on your next sync which can be found at:
~/Application Data/SyncServices/Local/syncservices.log
Email that file to me at <[email protected]> and I'll have a look.

When I connect my iTouch to my PC (windows 7) an error message is displayed reading "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later". I have completely uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes. I have also completely reset my iTouch to factory defaults. I have even followed all the advice provided previously to other forum member with the same problem. Nothing seems to work. Please help me someone.
I'm getting the same problem with both my IPad 4 and iPhone 5
Just started a few weeks back, Since then I have had two Itunes updates.
Is this something Apple is aware of and trying to fix? -
Unable to start User Profile Sync Service
Hi,
I am currently facing some issues with starting the User Profile Sync Service on my SP2013 farm.. I was wondering if someone could help me out a bit.
I have successfully installed the SP2013 farm on a environment that has access to our AD etc. and I have also
restored the database from SP2007 and converted it to Claims authentication etc. The one thing I can’t get to work is to enable the User Profile Sync Service on the server. I have checked quite a bit of TechNet blogs and other sites and tried almost everything
suggested but it still fails. I’ve also recreated the farm from scratch yesterday again but no luck still
L.
The below is what I have done:
Farm Admin account – spadmin2013 is local admin on all SP Farm servers (2 WFE and 2 APP Servers) and has log on locally rights as well on security policy. On the SQL DB it has dbo permissions on the Sync, Profile and Social DB’s.
Farm Service account – spservice-s is a managed farm account that is used to run the various services of the farm (used during the config wizard part).
From within the Admin Control Panel I have verified the managed accounts and it is indeed spadmin2013 which owns the User Profile Sync Service (not the application itself). When I try to start the service it tries to do that for 5-10 minutes and then fails
and goes back to stop and I do not see any error. I have created a custom service application with new database that runs on spadmin2013/spfarm/ldap accounts etc. I can see from the Windows services – FIM and FIMSync service try to start using the spadmin2013
and then go back to disabled. I have also tried giving the spadmin2013 rights to replicate the AD as few blogs suggested that. I am not sure where this is going wrong or what is missing. I had successfully got this to work and still can get it to work on my
first SP2013 server which is a standalone – running SQL, SP app and WFE on the same box.
In fact I also tried to activate this service first before I joined my 3 other servers to the farm and had no luck. I am kinda lost here as to what is going on!Right. i ran a new log as suggested. I have also cleared the config cache and created a Powershell profile as suggested in this link - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bryanbolling/archive/2014/01/02/unable-to-start-user-profile-synchronization-service.aspx
I checked the ULS Logs and i can see the below error -

When I-tunes is trying to sync my phone, I get a message regarding Data Class Information from Sync Services saying they were unable to do this. I have no idea what this means. I have not been having any problems with syncing info from my computer to phone until just now. I am trying to install new alert tones from an app that I purchased. The alert ones are now in my library on I-tunes and they play but they are not syncing to my phone. The snycing options is not available in my library and when I try to manually sync these tones, nothing is happening. I recently purhcased ringtones from the I-tunes store and from my phone and they downloaded with no problems and are synced onto my computer and are showing up in the same library list as the tone alerts which I cannot seem to sync. I have no idea why this is. Please help!
In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

ITunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services
Hi,
I have Iphone 3GS with the latest version 3.1.3 and iTunes 9.1. After i uograded my iPhone to the latest version i am not able to sync with the iTunes and receive the message "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services, Reconnect or Try later". I am using Windows XP with Symantec Endpoint protection.
I have tried following steps to troubleshoot the problem but all my attempts have failed,
1. Uninstall iTunes by Removing, iTunes, QuickTime, BonJour, iPhone congiguration Utility and Bonjour. Remove all the iTunes and related folder from the C:/ drive
2. Restart the computer and intall the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime
3. Restore the iPhone to the factory settings using iTunes
4. Restart the system as well as hard Boot the iPhone (Hold Start and Wake/Sleep Button)before connecting again
5. Repeat the Steps 1 and 2 after restoring the iPhone
I am still getting the same error and now I can't even open the first page for iPhone in iTunes when I connect it to my computer. All my content is still in iTunes but everything is lost on the iPhone.
I searched the Apple support and they talk about problem with the Symantec Endpoint. I have the latest version of Symantec endpoint way above what is mentioned on the Apple support page.
Can someone please help me, it seems restore worked for most of the people facing this issue, but for me even restore is not working.
With Regards,
AnkurI got a present of an itouch. This is my first time back to apple after 5 years. I cant get my itouch to sync due to dataclass error on Windows XP pro. I have installed the latest version of itunes 9.2.1.
WHAT IS THE POINT IN OWNING A DEVICE FOR PLAYING MUSIC WHEN YOU CANT LOAD THE MUSIC !!!!!
Does anyone have a solution or alternatively (shock horror) Apple could actually get its AR*E in gear and fix the problem. I would also suggest that Apple would post a friggen solution on its website, but no that may be too much to ask.
very frustrated. any help gratefully received otherwise the touch gets thrown out.

Was unable to load data class info from sync services. try again later.
Since installing the latest version of itunes (11.1.5.5) whenever I have either mine or my wife's iphones (4 and 5c, both with the latest 7.1.1) turned on and I start iTunes, I receive the error message saying that itunes was unable to load data class info from sync services. try again later.
If I leave the phones turned off and open iTunes, I am able to sync my old ipod so it appears to be an issue with the software on the phones?
I'm just not sure where to start. I've made sure that itunes has the latest version and no more updates are available.
Thanks in advance,

ITunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services-Solution
Hello all. I recently upgraded to iTunes 9.1.1.12 on a laptop with Windows XP Pro and the latest iPhone OS (as of May 16,2010). Right after that, I started getting the "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services" error message. After I dismissed that window, it would go ahead and indicate that it was synching for a minute or two, and then indicate (in iTunes) that it was backing up the iPhone. This will run forever unless cancelled and the phone would not synch.
After reading various solutions that worked for others (install Mobile Me, reinstall itunes, run diagnostics, all with numerous reboots in between), this is what worked for me:
1) Open up Windows Services, and stop the Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service, and mark them as manual (as opposed to Automatic).
2) Deinstall iTunes
3) Delete the c:\program files\common files\apple folder (and all sub folders within). This is where the services are stored, and when I did all of these steps without doing this step, it didn't fix my problem. By deleting this folder, you insure that the iTunes install reinstalls these. You should see the services that were stopped in step 1, running again after the install is done. Note: I don't use Safari or QuickTime on my laptop, so I can't say whether or not this step would have any impact on those apps.
4) Reinstall iTunes.
5) Connect the iphone to your computer.
6) At this point, I still got the dataclass error, so I immediately cancelled the synch.
7) Run the diagnostics for the iphone (connectivity and synch).
8) At this point, two DOS windows launched, and I did get another error about being able connect to the synch server.
9) Closed the error message and disconnected the iphone (the phone at this point did not indicate that a synch was occurring).
10) Reconnected the iphone and, voila, it's been working fine ever since.
Hope this helps someone else out until Apple deals with the 9.1.1.12 (and .11) issues with synching.Either do Windows Control Panel → Administrative Tools and then picking "Services" or typing "Services.msc" in the Run command on Start menu.

ITunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later.
Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 10.4 I've been getting this dreaded message on many occasions when I try to sync my iPhone 4 or iPad 2 with my Win 7 64 bit machine. "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." What happens is that local content (music, videos etc) will sync properly to my iPhone, but other content (such as Outlook information, MobileMe stuff, etc) will not.
I have uninstalled and completely purged all Apple data from my PC (including hidden files and folders under Common Files and in the Registry) and reinstalled iTunes. Yet after one or two syncs, the same problem resurfaces. The other weird part is that the Sync Services crap-out message will happen after I do a successful sync, leave the iPhone connected to the PC, and don't even touch the computer for several hours.
I've actually developed a very tedious work around that seems to restore syncing if for a short time.
- Undock/unconnect all Apple devices from the PC.
- Close iTunes, MobileMe control panel, and Safari (if you have it).
- Start Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and shut down iTunesHelper.exe and SyncServer.exe
- Open up a Windows Explorer window (like My Computer) and under Tools, Folder Options, View, toggle on Show Hidden Files and toggle off Hide Protected Operating System FIles
- In WIndows Explorer, navigate to "C:\Users\<your name>\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer". Rename the folder Sync Services to something else, like Sync Services_Old.
- In WIndows Explorere, navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support" and double-click on AppleSyncNotifier.exe.
- Go back to your Folder Options and turn off SHow Hidden Files and toggle on Hide Protected Operationg System Files
Now you can start up iTunes again and connect your device. It should sync properly again (at least, until it doesn't once more).
Does anyone at Apple have any idea about this error or a solution?I actually spent a fair amount of time on the phone with a senior Apple tech last week. He directed me to this topic:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US
It's important that you go through the steps EXACTLY as described here and in the proper order. Also make sure MobileMe control panel is uninstalled (if you have it).
Interestingly, when I went through this procedure and then reinstalled iTunes 10.4 64-bit (didn't do MobileMe or Safari at this stage, but QT is automatically installed) everything worked perfectly. The aforementioned error messages disappeared and all is working flawlessly, as it should.
I hope my expereince will help! Give it a try. -
ITunes was unable to load data class information from sync services.
I get the error message "iTunes was unable to load data class information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later" after reinstalling iTunes. I cancel the message and iTunes proceeds to sync with my iPhone 4. The phone and iTunes software are the latest releases. My PC is running Windows 8.1, which had to be reinstalled after the system crashed, requiring a total reinstall of all software.
Doublechecking. You've tried the following document?

ITunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services
Hello,
My itunes says : "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services", when i connect my iphones.
My iphones sync fine on my other computer.
This problem occurred when formatting my pc from work.
And this problem prevents me only sync tab "info" (contacts, calendar and Outlook). This does not prevent me to synchronize other tabs.
I already tried to reinstall itunes, and the diagnostic option.
Thanks in advance.This problem has been ongoing since 9.2 came out ... i.e. quite some time.
I uninstalled and then removed all traces off Apple applications, then reinstalled back to the prior version and ran with no problems.
When I upgraded to V4 iPhone software I had to upgrade again and ran into the same problem.
Upgrading from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 was of no benefit.
I have purchased Sync2, set up a gmail account and sync over wireless from Outlook to gamil, then from gamil to iPhone.
This only does calendar and contacts (haven't found a solution for notes) but waiting for Apple to sort this will probably see you old and gray.
Good luck. -
