First sync attempt after updating to newest version last week, now telling me that "could not be synced because sync session failed to start"... help?

I updated my iPod Touch last week, and now I went to sync it with some new music on my computer and I get the message that "could not be synced because sync session failed to start". This is obviously the first step in the process and has never been a message I have received through owning the original iPod, the iPod 2G, and the iPod Touch 2G and now 4G. Any ideas? Common problem?

Thanks. I couldn't find it previously, but once I asked the question officially it popped up in the suggested answers box on the side. Could not, then, figure out how to delete this comment! Ha. Appreciate you taking the time to point it out though, thanks!

Error message help: "The iPod "CKK's iPod" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."

I get this error message when trying to sync my iPod Touch, "The iPod “CKK's iPod” could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." I have done the restore on it, but still get the message... I realize that the restore takes away everything on the iPod, but I was hoping I wouldn't get the message again.. nop

Just made one very simple move without having to restore iPhone or reinstall iTunes..
1st step:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 *Read 'in my case' in here first before following this link*
Follow that link to restart (or if necessary) reinstall your Apple mobile device support.
In my case, Leave iPhone connected all the way. I first exit iTunes. Then i stopped the Apple Mobile device support (by following a part on that link above in step 1) which Effectively made my iPhone undetectable on itunes but discoverable by windows as a 'camera device'. Then while device is still connected, i started the Apple mobile dev support again. Now i open itunes and there my iPhone re-appears.
2nd step: After your iphone re-appears on iTunes, press Sync and all is well...
P.S, Mine is iPhone 4 running on iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, Windows 7..

"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.

Try this previous discussion:
Sync Session Failed to Start iTouch iOS5: Apple Support Communities

IOS 5: The iPad "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.

Am trying to migrate into the iCloud and updated:
1. Mac Air to 10.7.2
2. iTunes to 10.5.(141)
3. iPad (1) to iOS 5 (9A334)
Was able to sychronize and then found out I lost all my apps and rearranged them in iTunes and hoping I could resync them again and received:
The iPad “...” could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.
I saw various entries for this in the the communites mainly caused by earlier Betas but I haven't seen anything for the latest versions released last week.
Anybody who can help?

Try resetting your iPad an see if that will let you sync.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Try restarting your computer as well.

Sync session failed to start in iTunes after updated to iOS 7

Sync session failed to start in iTunes after updated to iOS 7

Restart your computer
While your computer is restarting, clear all of the applications from the background on your iPhone. You can do this by pushing the home button twice and swiping the programs off the screen by pushing them upwards.
After you are done doing that, restart your phone.
Wait about 10 seconds or so and turn your phone back on. By the time you get your phone back on your computer should be completly restarted and ready to go.
When your phone is back on, plug it into your computer. This should automatically bring up your Itunes, you may get another pop up that says autoplay, you can close that out. That's it. I hope it helps and good luck

Sync session failed to start message

When I try to sync my phone I am getting this message. Sync session failed to start. How do I correct this?

Make sure that you have not tried to put more items on the phone than there is space for. That can cause a sync to fail. Also be sure that you are connected to the internet. It may help. Good luck!

B-rock, thanks for posting the above. I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\. When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message. I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
What am I doing wrong, can you help?
Thank you!

HT1386 I am getting a message that says, "Failed to sync because the sync session failed to start?" Any solutions?

My wife dropped her iPad2 last week. Since then one of her apps is not working correctly so I thought that I would sync the iPad because it has been a while. When I plugged it in to my desktop computer through USB, I got the message "Failed to sync because the sync session failed to start." I have never seen that message before and I am not sure what I can do now to sync my wife's iPad. Any suggestions and/or help would be appreciated.

I realize your device is different, but the solution will probably be identical. Read this thread:

...and follow the instructions later in the discussion.

How do I fix this-iPad "sync session failed to start"

Hello Kwastfamily,
It sounds like you are unable to print from your computer to your printer. I would run through the troubleshooting steps in this article:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
