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!

I had upgraded nearly 1,5 month ago to IOS 5.0.1 and seemed to have no problems during the process (all my aps and books retored fine).
However suddenly today i-tunes says it can't be synchronizes (starting 1/7) because sync session failed to start.
I've tried also with WiFi sync but was always trying to restart syncronization.
I've runned the i-tunes diagnostic for sync and said it passed.
Could be H/W problem with my ipad?
Thanks

HT1386 Sync session failed to start message. No help there...
Can't sync iPad because it "failed to start". Not a helpful message or direction on what to do about it? Cords hooked up, wifi enabled, everything seems to be ok, but it fails to start. Any ideas?
Try quitting iTunes, restart your computer, reset your iDevice and then try to sync again.
Reset the iDevice 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the device start up. -
Cannot sync. Error message says "sync session failed to start"
I am not able to sync my ipod. The error message "the ipod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" keeps popping up. I have tried both syncing it plugged in and by wifi and the same message appears
Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. Apple has posted a way to fix and you should follow their's first. I finally got to upldate correctly by doing their fix but with one difference. I did the following:
1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replace)
2) Restarted computer and still got error message
3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not specifically put in their fix but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
5) Restarted computer.
6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try. Even updated my ipad to make sure everything was working. -
Pretty much as above, when I plug my iphone in it just comes up with the message saying the sync session failed to start and thats all I can get out of it :/
Any ideas on what I need to do to get my iphone to talk to my itunes again please?Hi hblower,
As a first step, I would suggest quitting your open apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Then sign out of iTunes:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
Restart and/or reset the device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Are you running the latest version of iTunes? If not, update the software and try syncing again …

what do i do when i try to sync my ipod touch to itunes and it shows me an error message that the sync session failed to start?
Hello brainiac08
Typically that error occurs because of a backup issue. Check out the article below to resolve it.

When I try to sync my Ipad Mini, I get an error message that says "sync session failed to start". Anyone ever deal with this?
Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart your iPad and try again. If it doesn't work with a restart of the iPad, try a reset of the iPad.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
I'm trying to sync my iPhone4s, but everytime iTunes tries to sync, I get a message "This iPhone cannot sync because the sync session failed to start." I've tried restoring my phone, and all my software is up to date. It won't sync any of my songs/apps back to my phone. Somebody please help!
Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?
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! -
I am getting an error message when trying to sync to my PC that says "The Iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start" what setting is messed up?
The way I fixed this (though I'm using a iTouch 4G): disconnect your iPhone from the computer, shut down iTunes, then reset your iPhone by holding the Power/Sleep & Home buttons together for 10 seconds. Restart iTunes, then when your iPhone restarts, reconnect it to the computer, and everything should work fine

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:

Cannot sync ipone. Message says 'sync session failed to start'. What do I do?
Make sure you don't have Restrictions enabled under Settings/General. If it's enabled, you might need to restart your phone afterwards.

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..
