"The iPhone (iPhone name) could not be synced because the connection to the iPhone was reset".

This started yesterday at about 10:30am California time and hasn't stopped or been fixed. Whenever I sync or try to backup my iPhone 5 it goes through the process but right when it's about to finish backing up it gives me an error message that says "The iPhone (iPhone name) could not be synced because the connection to the iPhone was reset"
I have tried using a different USB cable, using a different port on my macbook, restarting both my phone and my computer. And nothing works and I have search through about every search engine and this problem isn't to be found anywhere online. Posting my problem and calling Apple support are my last options. Also I am still running on iOS 6.1.4 and have not updated to iOS7 because I want to be able to have an up-to-date backup file in case anything goes wrong. And I don't want to restore a backup because my last actual backup is from a couple months ago. But another thing I don't quite understand is that even though that message comes up, a couples minutes later my iPhone's summary says the last backup was the current time like it actually DID back it up. So my question is if the error message says that it can't be synced then why does it show that it actually did backup? Please help because I really would like to get rid of this problem so I could backup and sync to update to iOS7.

  • [iPad Strange Error] The iPad " iPad's name " could not be synced because the connection to the iPad was reset

    Hello everyone,
    I've recently got a strange error on my iPad (or iTunes): I plug my iPad into my PC (it runs Windows 8 with the latest iTunes version up to now) and start iTunes to sync music to iPad. But it stops at step 2 (after backing up) and shows a message: "The iPad "<iPad's name>" could not be synced because the connection to the iPad was reset" (like the picture I attach).
    Please help me to resolve this problem. It's important to me, please!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Gentlemen,
    I too have the same problem, and I see that nobody has found a working fix yet. How dissapointing. I would have thought that Apple would have tried to fix this by now. Who knows how many others are in the same boat?
    I am unable to sync my iPad at all. This means that I can't make a backup and so can't clean and restore it. I can't add any music. I can't get my photos off the iPad either. And so on! My brand new iPad is incapable of doing anything usefull! Don't fret Apple, I WILL tell all my friends what my opinion of your devices are.
    In my opinion this is a CRITICAL FAILURE FROM APPLE!
    I believe that it's undeniable that this is a stupid uniformative error message that leads me nowhere.  Of course the connection went away. BUT WHY? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM IF YOUR ERROR MESSAGE  DOESN'T GIVE ME ANY USEFULL INFORMATION????
    AND WHY CAN'T I CAUSE IT TO SKIP OVER THE BACKUP STEP SO AT LEAST THE DEVICE HAS SOME FUNCTIONALITY?
    There are no published fixes that work.  The only thing close, was a recommendation to reset the iPad and try again. This didn't do anything but waste more of my time.
    Hopefully, my Rant will cause someone to take a stab at coming up with a resolution. I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET MY IPAD WORKING AGAIN.
    Is that too much to ask?

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 have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

  • Syncing photos via iTunes - getting new error message" "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost"

    I am trying to sync photos in a dedicated file on my desktop with the photo library on my iPhone 4S.  Something I have done many times before. 
    Since upgrading to iTunes 11 I get this message "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost" midway through the sync.  I do not understand this as I am syncing via the USB lead, so how can the connection be lost?
    Bascially I just want to update the photos on my iPhone with new photos I have added to the file I use on my computer.
    Any help or ideas would be gratefully received.  Thanks.

    This may help you

  • The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer...

    This is not about wanting to manage music, etc. It's about my work. I have an app in development and need to load the latest IPA for testing, a process performed through iTunes, like syncing anything else. When I try and sync I get the message, "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone.
    I did the research on the internet and haven't found an adequate answer. I've tried:
    — Being sure I'm logged into the same iTunes account as the iPhone.
    — Deauthorizing then Authorizing the computer, after which I get an alert saying the computer has been successfully authorized, resulting in the same error message again when I again try and sync.
    — Removing the SC Info folder, as found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 . I guess I have the only Mac that has no trace af any such "SC Info" folder anywhere in the system (OS 10.6.8).
    — Logged in under every conceivable account configuration (computer admin, device account, etc...) to no avail.
    I have to get this IPA imported into the iPhone. It's the same process as syncing anything else. If anyone has a solution, please send it along. Clock is loudly ticking.
    Many thanks.

    Same problem. Did you guys find the solution?

  • The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items 2014

    the iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items

    Hello 7283,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with syncing your iPhone.  It sounds like you computer is not authorized for some of the purchases on your iPhone. 
    I am not sure if you have authorized your computer, but I recommend trying that first.  If you have purchases from multiple Apple IDs on your iPhone, you will need to authorize all the Apple IDs used to make purchases.  Use these steps:
    Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If you have already authorized your computer, I recommend reviewing the following article for additional assistance:

  • HT1414 I can't sync my I phone 5s to my MacBook Pro.  I receive this message: "the iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone."  I have authorized and re-authorized my computer and

    message: "The IPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this IPhone."  First I have authorized the computer - several times.  Second, there is nothing on my IPhone.  I'm try to transfer my ITunes library from my Mac to my new IPhone.  Thanks.

    Well Authorize the Computer...........

  • I go to sync my phone and it says,"The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone". When I go to authorize it says it's already authorized.

    Getting frustarted with itunes. I had to recently do a hard reboot ny iphone and attempted to sync my phone to get m apps back. When I go to sync my phone and it says,"The iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone". When I go to authorize it says it's already authorized. Help!!!!

    I first called apple and they patched me to a technician who ran a test and determined that I had a virus. He gave me some price quotes and who to call. After my conversation with him, which I knew was BS btw, I immediatley called Geek Squad with whom my computer has a warranty through after they installed virus software on my new laptop (4 months old). I had a VERY long online session where they ran several virus test and found nothing. Although I was VERY happy that my computer didn't have a virus, I still had the problem of my itunes not working. After several hours, he made sure that all of my apps were down loaded, and then restored my iphone to factory settings, and sync my device. It worked perfectly and all and I mean ALL 240 apps were downloaded back onto my iphone along with my music and all of my tones. When asked why my itunes was acting in that manner the answer that I got was,"...apparently you had a correct file some where in itunes and everything had to be reset". Regardless, everything is back to normal and I don't have to get a new phone or delete itunes from my computer. Hope this helps!
