Sync settings failed

I opened Dreamweaver and got the message "sync settings failed"

I was having this same issue in Dreamweaver CC. "Sync Settings Now" was greyed-out in the Application Bar and in Preferences > Sync Settings. I did the following and it's working now:
- Opened Preferences > Sync Settings and checked "Enable Automatic Sync". Clicked Apply. The status under my Adobe ID changed to "Syncing...". I let it sit for about 10 minutes, but the status never changed. I closed/reopened Preferences and the sync status under my Adobe ID was showing a date and time of last sync, so it appeared to have synced, but "Sync Settings Now" was still greyed-out.
- Opened Help > Sign Out (Adobe ID) and signed out. Closed DW, relaunched, then had to sign-in again. "Sync Settings Now" still greyed-out.
- Opened Creative Cloud in web browser then clicked on account icon in upper right corner and selected "My Application Settings". I deleted my previous synced settings (I didn't have anything worth saving). Closed, then relaunched DW. "Sync Settings Now" still greyed-out.
- Rebooted computer. Launched DW. "Sync Settings Now" is back and working again. I opened Preferences > Sync Settings, disabled automatic sync, then clicked Sync Settings Now and it synced successfully (took about 15 seconds). I opened Sync Settings from the Application Bar and was able to sync from there as well. (NOTE: the sync settings button remains clickable regardless of how your automatic sync settings are set)
Good luck.
Edit: I'm using Version 13.1 build 6443

Photoshop CC Sync Settings failed

When I try and sync my application settings, I always get an error message saying 'sync settings failed - can't connect to creative cloud'. However, I am signed in to the creative cloud application manager (sitting in my task bar, saying I am signed in) and there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. Why can't my photoshop sync my settings?

Having the exact same issue, for months now (originally, I had (almost) no problem syncing settings.)
I'm on a 2010-2011 27" iMac running OS X Mavericks, never had a single software/network issue with this machine since the day I bought it. I typically run 2 to 4 Adobe apps simultaneously, in addition to Chrome, Spotify, Mail, and a couple of other apps/utilities sporadically with no performance delays (aside from memory cache needing to be cleared occasionally).
I'm connected to Creative Cloud via the app and signed-in via browser. In the CC app I can see that all my apps are up to date, I can access my files, I can see the synced fonts, etc (however I cannot connect to Behance).
Error messages I encounter:
Photoshop CC: Sync settings failed. Cannot connect to Creative Cloud.
Dreamweaver CC: Sync settings failed. Last Sync: 1/24/14 10:20 AM (not sure how that even connected or why during that time on that day.)
Illustrator CC: Cannot even click the Sync button, it's greyed out. If I click the Share on Behance button I get a pop-up that says, "Sorry, there was an error with your request. Please close this window and try again. Still Having Trouble? Contact Behance Help and reference error: Error fetching access token." If I go to that Behance Help page, there is no help on this topic, nor is there a search or anything to input this "Error fetching access token" reference error.
Indesign CC: Does not allow me to click the Sync button, I get a "bad-circle" like Ø icon.
TypeKit: Not an error message, but this feature is so unbelievably unreliable and inconsistent I dare even call it a "feature." Newly added fonts don't show up for days. Always need to restart Apps before they will show up. Sometimes fonts will just disappear. I love the IDEA of this but I'm so disappointed in the execution...are we PAYING to be beta testers?!
Not being able to sync my settings in the CC isn't the end of the world, but I still want to be able to do it, and I spend what? $50 a month on this, and this is like a CORE feature of the product.
I would sincerely appreciate any help at all fixing this CC syncing issue, I have no idea what to do next.

Syncing Settings Failed

So, my company made the leap to CC last month and we've been enjoying the benefits of frequent support updates and all the new tools, etc.
But now I'm experiencing an error when attempting to sync with CC from Adobe Premiere Pro. Every time I tell Premiere to 'Sync Now', from any machine I get the popup message: "Syncing Settings Failed"
The software notes that the last successful sync was on the day I installed & ran the software for the first time. I'm logged into my Creative Cloud account, and logged into Adobe Premiere Pro ...what am I missing?
Best,
James

Thanks, Arpit. I followed those steps and the problem persists.
In fact, all staff on the same team plan are experiencing this issue. We've all logged out and back in on various different workstations (mostly Windows 7 Professional SP1).
A new version of Adobe CC (desktop application manager) was available and installed this morning on all systems--we noticed no change.
Oddly, Photoshop and Illustrator sync on all accounts with no problem.
But Premiere and After Effects do not sync. Below are the error messages from each software:
Pr: "Syncing Settings Failed"
AE: "Authentication failed. Check network connection, Adobe ID, and password. Please try again."

Premiere Pro Sync Settings Failed

I'm running Premiere Pro CC (2014) 8.2.0 (65) on a Mac. I've been trying to make Sync Settings work and keep giving up. I move around enough from facility to facility that a quick import of my settings would be amazing... if I could get it to work.
All software is the most recent update as of 04/14/2015
I've cleared preferences and returned to the default PP.
I've cleared the settings on the cloud for PP.
I've quit Creative Cloud desktop and relaunched.
I've logged out of Creative Cloud desktop and logged back in.
Followed these instructions. Troubleshooting Sync Settings
I've pretty much tried every solution I've seen here in the forums and still no luck.
So I have two questions. Do people use this feature successfully on Mac? And... what the solution?
Thanks

HI,
Just try downloading the 7.1 update from the below Link and then sign out from creative cloud .
Restart the computer and signin into cretaive cloud and open premier pro and check if it is updated

Premiere Pro 2014: Syncing Settings Failed

I filed a bug report, but is anyone else having no luck at all syncing settings to Pr CC 2014? I uninstalled and reinstalled the update just to be sure; can't get anything to work.

UPDATE 2: jstrawn was right. Good things come to those who wait. Syncing worked. So I hit 'Clear Settings'. Then sync didn't work. And then it did again. I'm happy and not messing with it anymore.
UPDATE: I managed to find my layouts and keyboard shortcuts and manually transferred them. Good enough for me. Cheers.
Original Reply:
I ran into this issue an hour ago, and maybe my experience up to now can be helpful to tracking parts of the issue down.
Sidenote: Prior to today, my last sync was in September. I am running Win7 Pro - 64bit.
I went to migrate my settings over from Premiere to Premiere 2014 and initially thought it had worked--unfortunately, the 2014 version had uploaded, now downloaded the prefs, despite my explicitly asking to download them.
In detail, I had gone to preferences, changed the default to "Always Download" and synced. Upon reopening the new project, I noticed no migrated settings, and checked the preferences again. It was set to default to "Always Upload" instead of Download.
I have now noticed that after every time I try to sync in Premiere 2014, if I then close and reopen the app, the default preferences behavior changes to "Always Upload". Interesting.
I then went to Premiere CC to upload the correct preferences. The error then popped up, over and over. I came to this forum and saw a suggestion to try "Sign in as another user." This went through without an error, but it did not upload anything.
This is my current state now:
No more error.
Premiere Pro CC will NOT upload it's preferences to/from Adobe cloud servers. I am not testing it's download capabilities for obvious reasons (I don't want my actual preferences to be overridden).
Premiere Pro CC 2014 will upload and download preferences to/from Adobe cloud servers.

Sync Settings in Premier CC fails

Trying to sync settings to the Cloud. Get the message that it failed. What now?

Is this issue only occuring with Premiere Pro? Are you able to sync settings in After Effects, Illustrator or InDesign for example?
Could you also provide some details about your network. Are you behind a firewall or proxy server that could be preventing access? See if a similar discussion helps: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5709675

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?

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!

TS4062 When I try to sync my iphone with the computer, message reads "iphone could not be synced because sync session failed to start". What do I do?

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.

My phone won't sync suddenly with iTunes and I am getting a message thatthe phone is not able to sync because the sync session failed. Help?

When trying to sync my iPhone I am now getting a message that says "...the iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start. I have been unable to discover what, if anything has changed in my settings or what I need to do differently. Help?

What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

'Sync Settings' in After Effects CC 2014 wont sync after incremental AECC2014.0.0 - AECC2014.0.1 update

After doing an incremental update from AECC 2014.0.0 to AECC 2014.0.1 the Sync Settings dialogue doesn't work.
After clicking on ‘Sync Settings’ I get:
‘Authentication failed. Check network connection, Adobe ID, and password. Please try again’.
After checking all of those things (network, password etc) I try again but there's no change and I get the same error dialogue again.
I then tried ‘Use settings from a different account’ but still using my existing Adobe login details but I still get the sync dialogue error message.
What's the story morning glory?
Running AECC 2014.0.1 on MacBook Pro - 10.9.4

I have exactly the same issue and error message, whilst clearly logged in to CC (the AE main menu shows I'm logged in and does everything it should when logged in apart from sync my settings).
It's clearly an issue at Adobe. There was a similar problem last year which affected Premiere too.

The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to start

I am trying to sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes and I receive this "The iPhone 'XYZ's iPhone' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." I have synced this phone many times in the past without any issues and this error just started to occur. I have done all the usual: reset my phone settings, restarted my computer etc. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I could do?

iTunes
The version of iTunes that comes with beta 2 cannot sync devices that have the beta 1 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following:
Sync any devices that have beta 1 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 1.
Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 2.
Connect the device and install the beta 2 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.)
After installing the beta 2 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.

ITunes could not sync contacts or iCal to the iPhone sync server failed

*+iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone "Username" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone+*
I have read most of the post on this subject and have tried most of the solutions as they applied to me however resulting in same error message as above.
I have performed the following:
1. Reset iSync History
2. Installed the latest version of iTunes 7.5.2
3. Installed the latest version of iPhone software 1.1.2
4. Removed folders and files from the Library.
What I haven't done and only will do as a last resort.
1. Reinstall Tiger
2. Purchased and Installed Leopard
3. Restore iPhone settings
Does anyone have a viable solution? Thanks in advance!

I called Apple Tech Support and spoke with a Product Specialist. He helped me resolved the issue.

Got the dreaded "sync session failed to start"

OS 10.6.8, iPhone 4, OS 5.01, iTunes 10.5.1 (42).
Woke up this AM to find my iPhone battery completely drained (never happened and have no idea why). Charged up to halfway and did a sync. Sync session failed to start.
Used my regular user, etc. Had synced only a few days ago.
Never have seen this problem, ever.
Tried a restore (twice) nothing changed. All I have in my phone now are contacts and base apps. Nothing else.
No issues with iTunes of my computer, though I did notice while doing a restore a couple little squiggles of garbage text (very small in gray) up the the left of the software install box.
Do I have to submit to a complete uninstall and install of iTunes (not the easiest to do) to enable the phone to eventually sync correctly again?
Read through other posts on this topic and most were on Windows machines, though I tried by deleting the last backup (no luck) The last full back up I have is one from Aug 2009 (when I bought this phone).
Should I delete all backups? and try again?
Was this related to the severe battery drain?
TIA

Think I fixed it.
Tried the oddest suggestion yet from another thread on this same error message and it seems to have worked!
Went to:
Settings => Phone => My Number
in my iPhone and deleted the +1 front of my phone number. Phone is now syncing as we speak.
Is this a bug with the new OS?

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

FIX: calendar probs "sync server failed to sync the iphone"

Hi all,
Out of nowhere my 3GS with OS4 stopped syncing via iTunes. (I use USB and PC with XP). Error message included "sync server failed to sync the iphone"
One to try.......
Go to My Computer
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Apple Computer\Logs
There are file with names like
asl.987429_25Aug10 (for example)
I opened a file with the date when the problem occurred.
Scroll down and look for a line like this.
USB mux port 32498 for device 9: No such device or address
[5968 @ Thu Aug 26 14:06:51 2010] [(unknown facility) iTunes.exe] MobileDeviceConnectlocked (thread 592): Could not connect to lockdown port on device 3e59d5e8fc22f5cad8a409af80aedd59396ee165.
Take note of this number 3e59d5e8fc22f5cad8a409af80aedd59396ee165 (or just the last few digits). Then..........
Go to My Computer
C:\Documents and Settings\User name\Application Data\Apple Computer\SyncServices\Local\Copy clientdata\
I had 3 folders, all with long alphanumeric names, lets call them A, B and C. Open each of them in turn; they will have a the text document "clientname". You should fine something like this:
"com.apple.MobileSync.3e59d5e8fc22f5cad8a409af80aedd59396ee165" where the alphanumeric is the same as the error message. For me this was in folder A.
Now, go back to the \clientdata folder and copy the Folder (folder A - with the correct "clientname" file in it) to your desktop (so you can restore if it doesn't work)
then delete that folder (folder A) from the \clientdata folder.
Close all and reattempt to sync whilst turning around 3 time anti clockwise with your hands on your head.
Worked for me - no loss of data.
Good luck!!!!
Cheers
Ken H

This just worked for me, thank you! It's a little confusing at one point -- the folder you're looking for is called clientdata (you have it as "Copy clientdata" at one point), and the folder may have other items in it, which will also have long names, but you need to ignore those items and open the file called clientname -- INSIDE THAT FILE in one of the folders, you'll find the long name you're looking for. THAT'S the folder you want to remove.
