The iPhone "Danny's iPhone4GS" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish.

I get this now every time I connect to my computer? Nothing wrong with the puter! This happened when I updated to the OS5.

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..

  • When I open iTunes it is slow to open for one, and two when it does see my iPhone and i go to sync it this is what I get in return... The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box

    When I open iTunes it is slow to open for one, and two when it does see my iPhone and i go to sync it this is what I get in return... The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates. I am getting very frustrated by this can someone please help. I have made 2 other discussion topics about this and no replies on them. Please if anyone can help I ask for help. This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

  • Sync problems with iOS5. "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."

    Hi,
    I have updated my iPhone 3GS 32GB to iOS5 and iTunes to version 10.5.
    All music, videos and ringtones purchased were deleted on the device and now it is impossible at all to sync the iPhone with the computer, both by USB and Wi Fi.
    It always appears at step 5 of the syncronization the message:
        "The iPhone “iPhone” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
    Has anyone experienced the same problem and has found the solution or we have to wait a bug fix from Apple?
    Thanks.

  • "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish"   Help!

    So i have multiple devices synced to my macbook pro including an iphone 3g, 4, and 4s. 3g running 4.2.1, 4 running ios 5, and the 4s running ios 5 as well. I've had no trouble in the past month syncing the phones whether it be music, photos, contacts, etc. Now that i have updated my iTunes to the latest software i am getting a message saying "the iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish". It shows this error message with every device that i plug into my mac including ipods. I've tried restoring all these devices, deleted all backups, and unchecked/checked libraries to sync one at a time. Nothing works. Please help!!!!!

    Open itunes and connect iphone to itunes, syncing (=failed), exit itunes without unplugging and then open itunes again. if this doesnt work, uncheck apps & photos, sync again, before finish syncing stop it, then check it again.

  • The iPod "Username iPod" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish.

    Is there any solution to failed iPod syncs with the following error message;
    "The iPod “Username’s iPod” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
    I tried the Apple Support article at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697 without any improvement at all. I noticed this article had a problem when the sync I executed to remove all the photos from the iPod failed. Then subsequent syncs to resotre the photos also fail.
    I have about 15,000 photos, but there should be plenty of room on my 64GB 4th generation iPod.
    I started having this problem after ugrading to iOS5. Very, very frustrating.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Disconnect the iPhone... Restart your Computer... Restart your Phone... Try again.

  • IPad won't sync.  Getting message "The iPad "Jennifer iPad" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."

    Getting message "The iPad “Jennifer iPad” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."  Or it looks like its going to sync but then I see it flash, "Cancelling Sync."  The only thing I can think I have done differently is I purchased a video from iTunes on my iMac.  Want to transfer it to the iPad.
    Thanks... this is so frustrating!!! 

    Not sure if this will help but I would try disconnecting your iPad then restarting your computer. Also reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appear. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem. After both have started back up reconnect your iPad and try to sync again.
    Im presumming here that you had been able to sync your ipad before you purchased the new video. If it fails to sync after the restart I would deselect the new video you purchased and try syncing. It just could be there is something wrong with that video file.

  • Error msg when I compact: The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify you have enough disk space, and have write privileg

    I recently had my computer serviced. I re-downloaded Thunderbird (getting a newer version), and retrieved my saved email. Now, Thunderbird keeps asking me to compact, but when I do, I get this error message:
    The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.
    Obviously, since I'm getting mail all the time, I have write privileges, and disk space. The question is whether there's a setting I need to specify, or whether Thunderbird is writing to a special partition that may have gotten write-protected when my computer was in the hospital - or whether this is related to a known bug.
    All help appreciated.

    The only know bug I can see is probably your anti virus is trying to scan the file when the new inbox is created leaving Thunderbird to think the file was not created.
    As an experimental / diagnostic process. Restart the machine in safe mode with networking using Microsoft instructions for [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7] then try the compact. If it works I was most likely right. If it does not, another idea must surface.

  • The iPad could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish

    Please help.
    I've tried resetting my iPad several times and yet when I simply try to sync to iMac and deselect everything but music all I get is the message:
    The iPad "J's Ipad" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish.
    I've tried everything - any advice would be gratefully received!
    Thanks,
    J.

    Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes. If not update and then try again. Of you still receive this error then attempt to backup the iPad. Then perform a restore from the backup.
    The only time I have received this error was because iTunes was not updated to the most recent release.

  • 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.

    got an anti virus that thinks it should scan email. Turn that function off.
    Have a firewall, check that Thunderbird has full internet access, not some Auto rubbish that somehow fails.

  • I get this when trying to update my iPhone: "could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." Have lost many apps and date. Hope it's not permanent.

    Help?

    I know you said everything is up to date, but just to make sure....iTunes is at least 10.5, right?
    Have you tried resetting sync history? (Edit>Preferences>Device>Reset Sync History: It won't delete any of your information)
    Also, you can run a iTunes diagnostics test just to make sure everything passes.
    I would also try to backup your back up files on an external drive (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2529) and delete the backups in your system, to see if anything in there was stopping the syncs from going through?
