  • Sync failed to start w/ iTunes 10.7, iPod Touch 3rd gen

    Since upgrading to iTunes 10.7 on Windows 7x64, I have had trouble getting my iPod Touch (3rd gen, 5.1.1) to sync. I am getting the message "sync failed to start". This happens with either WiFi or USB connection to the device. I know the iPod WiFi is working because the Remote app shows my iTunes library, fetches email, etc.
    After installing iTunes 10.7, when I connected via USB, Windows tried to search for and install new drivers. After a very long delay, I canceled the search and continued using the existing drivers. I'm not sure if this is related.

    I have resolved the problem by 'shutting down' my MacBook ('restarting' the computer was not sufficient to resolve it). While I was at it, I took the battery out briefly before rebooting – don't know if this made the difference, but I do know that Apple Tech Support have instructed me to remove the battery momentarily on previous occasions when resolving other issues with the computer. Anyway, either just shutting down (or shutting down + removing the battery) seems to have resolved the problem, as iTunes is once again recognising my iPod Touch and I'm able to sync again. Phew!

  • I get an error message that sync failed to start

    When I try to sync my Ipod Touch it shows that it is waiting to sync but then I get an error message that sync failed to start.  I have tried restore and re starting my computer but I still get the same message, what is going on and how do I fix it? Please help!

    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.

  • My Iphone 4s automatically synced when I started ITunes. When it did this it saved all of my pictures on my computer to my phone. How do I reverse this and take the pictures back off of my iPhone?

    My Iphone 4s automatically synced when I started ITunes. When it did this it saved all of my pictures on my computer to my phone. How do I reverse this and take the pictures back off of my iPhone?

    Yeah, my iPhone 4S sometimes manages to connect to wifi for about 10 minutes now. I think there is a problem related with the antenna because when the phone heats up, the WIFI stops working. I had a similar experience with my older iPhone 4S which I bought from the U.S.A. (unlocked version) but after a couple of days, WIFI icon grayed out and I wasn't able to switch it on and off. Now the phone I'm using was bought in Turkey from a local carrier, (it's not locked I suppose) I'm planning on upgrading to an iPhone 6 and I will try to get my 4S repaired. I hope it is something related with software rather than hardware. Because a friend of mine sent his phone to the local Apple store to be fixed, they sent the phone back claiming that they had repaired it. But in about 2 days, the phone shut itself down and never turned off back again lol. I don't want to experience the same thing. But anyway, thanks for your answer. At least now I know that I'm not the only one that has this problem .

  • Will Wifi-sync on iOS5 start if I have my iPod connected to my car when I pull onto my drive in wifi range?

    Will Wifi-sync on iOS5 start if I have my iPod connected to my car when I pull onto my drive in wifi range?

    Well iOS 5 helps you sync with your computer wirelessly when connected to a power supply and on wifi.
    iOS 4 should allow you to have automatic downloads from your account with iTunes rather than from your computer.
    Just go to settings>store and turn on automatic downloads and it will do what you want whether it's plugged in or not as long as you're on wifi.

    Hey there CrazyTC,
    It sounds like you are unable to re install iTunes because the Apple Mobile Device service failed to start. Try restarting it with the following article:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
    Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Click the Windows Start button .
    In the Start Search field type Services.
    In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
    Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
    After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
    After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
    Then if the issue is resolved, set the service to start Automatically with the same article.
    If it is still not working, use these steps from the same article to completely uninstall iTunes and its associated applications and install a fresh copy.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS
    If the issue continues after restarting AMDS, then you'll need to remove and reinstall AMDS and iTunes.
    Completely uninstall AMDS, iTunes, and all Apple software. Click the appropriate links below for steps:
    Windows XP
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Restart the computer.
    Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes. Installing iTunes will also install AMDS.
    Restart the computer.
    Start iTunes and connect the device. It should be recognized properly in Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • IOS 5.1 sync fail to start

    Just updated to iTunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1 on iPhone 4S.
    Despite repeated attempts, including turning "sync over wi-fi" off, sync fails to start.

    Suggestion:
    Assuming your OS software and version of iTunes are both up to date, with iPhone connected and iTunes running, Power Off iPhone (hold power button on top until red slider appears, then slide slider to power off), then power iPhone back on (hold power button on top until apple appears on iPhone screen).
    In iTunes,with phone still connected, select iPhone in Devices and Summary screen, if phone does not sync after a minute or so, click Sync button in iTunes. If phone does not sync then, on iPhone choose Settings/General/iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and click Sync Now.
    If that doesn't work, try changing a phone option in iTunes (such as un-check "Sync this phone over Wi-Fi"), and with phone still connected, quit then re-launch iTunes, and if Sync does not start automatically, click iTunes Sync button.
    If iPhone still does not sync, I suggest calling 1-800-MY-IPHONE.
    My iPhone still does not sync automatically daily over wi-fi even though that option is set, but it will sync  when connected to computer. So I am guessing there is still a bug somewhere.

  • FireFox is refusing to properly sync and I have even deleted my sync account and started over, why is this happening?

    Up to a few weeks ago FireFox sync was working as expected, but then version 17 rolled out and I had auto update turned on, so all my PCs updated. Quickly I noticed that Roboform Lite didn't work in the new version so I decided to go back to version 16.0.2 on all my PCs to continue using Roboform. I'm confident this must have had some affect on FIrefox Sync, specifically the add-ons, as the bookmarks and others continued to sync properly.
    I've worked on it for 3 days now and after even deleting my sync account and starting from scratch I seem to still be having the same problem. It's weird though, it will begin to sync some of my add-ons, but then stop and refuse to do anymore. I only have about 10 add-ons altogether. Other times it will remove add-ons, which is even more aggravating.
    I also reset FireFox on my main computer that I had initially setup sync.
    Please help me resolve this.
    Mike

    I believe this is a bug in the new Firefox. I'm having the same problem, and so are others on this forum. My guess is just to wait till the next update for some one the bugs to be worked out. FFA was updated recently so it could be FFA's fault

  • HT1386 I am getting an error message that syncing failed to start.  Any ideas why?

    I am getting an error message that syncing failed to start.  Any ideas why.  The ipad is working fine.

    Then I tried to download and install them again but it kept saying the old itunes could not be removed.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • When syncing ipad to my itunes i get the message 'sync could not be finished because the sync failed to start' help!!

    when syncing ipad to my pc's itunes i get the message 'sync cud not be finished as sync failed to start' help

    So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
    So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
    Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
    My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID.
