"iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.

When I sync my 3g iPhone to my laptop - windows , I am getting a new message that "iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue ? relly its a major problm

iTunes is running into a conflict between mail account information already on your iPhone and the accounts you are trying to sync.
Connect your iPhone to your computer. In the Advanced section under the Info tab, check the box next to "Mail Accounts". This will replace the mail account info on your iPhone with the accounts you are trying to sync.
If this does not work, then reset your sync history by opening the iSync application, going into the preferences, and clicking Reset Sync History.

ERROR: itunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone etc.

Brand new iphone owner. Day two. The initial sync was fie, on the next sync I got the the following error message."iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iphone (my name) iPhone because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. Close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone then sync again."
I can't find this one in other discussions. HELP!

You can either setup your mail account settings manually or sync your settings to your phone. If your mail accounts are already setup on your phone, there is no need to have this box checked in itunes.

Itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad beacuse the mail accounts are in use by the ipad

hi all just syncing pc and ipad after 7.0.3 upgrade and get the message that itunes could not sync mail accounts to the ipad because mail accounts are in us eby the ipad. i know i have seen several older threads on this,. but now cant find them. any ideas how to get over this problem message? many thanks

When my icloud account is attached to my device I go to mail, contacts, calendars, and there is absolutely no way to remove my mail account. When I deleted my icloud account it suddenly gave me a way to delete and readd my mail account, and synching became feasible again. Synching wasn't possible for me, when I had an icloud account. I suppose the icloud idea still isn't feasible, at least Ican't figure out how to use it.

I recently upgraded to to the iOS 5 on my iMac and iPad. Now when i sync my iPad it get stuck on step 8 with a prompt that says "waiting to copy items" it stays on like that for hours.

Pulling my hair out with this one. Please help!

Reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

You don't need to manually sync using iOS 5.

IPhone 5 no longer syncing mail accounts - why?

I sync my iPhone 5 at least once a day. However, in the last couple days I receive the dialogue box that advises the mail accounts cannot be synced due to the iPhone using them. And instructs me to turn the accounts off, in the iPhone.
This is a first. And I don't know why.
And, with reluctance, turned the mail accounts off - though not Gmail as there was a warning that I would lose calendar data.
Is this issue another outcome of the "upgrade"?
How can I make syncing revert to normal service?
Thank you

Because they are discontinuing this phone...you can get the iPhone 4S, 5C, or 5S now. (Depending on your country).

Trying to sync Mail accounts

I just signed up for .mac membership with the hopes that I can synchronize my email messages on my Mac desktop and Mac laptop. Both systems have the same OS X 10.4.8 and are configured to use my work address which is a pop account with Mac mail.
When I did the sync on both computers, it did not synchronize my email messages. I gather that I need further instruction on this as it isn't as easy as I originally thought.
Can you one advise me? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This relates not to iSync, but to .Mac Sync, which is a different technology altogether. A forum for .Mac Sync users is located here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
The underlying issue here involves your expectation that messages will be synchronized, and that's simply not the case. .Mac Sync synchronizes mail structures - not content.
In order to 'synchronize' mail messages, you must use IMAP rather than POP3 mailboxes. Mail is effectively synchronized because it is stored on the mail server your clients access, and not on the clients themselves. As each client accesses an account, it effectively looks through the IMAP 'window' at the contents of your mailbox on that server. Any action you take with regard to that account is reflected everywhere, because your action operates on server—not client—data.
Your .Mac account can easily be identified as an IMAP account, as can many others from such providers as AOL or Yahoo. Google's Gmail does not provide for an IMAP option.
To learn more about IMAP, you can browse this forum:

Error while syncing mail accounts

iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone "..." because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
Try syncing your iPhone again.If the problem persists, replace the mail accounts on the iPhone from the info tab in the iPhone preferences.
The message above is an error message received several times. I have tried to work out how to replace the mail accounts through iTunes. Have been clicking it on and off and re-syncing. Still gives the error message. Can anyone help me resolve this?? tks

Error message when syncing mail accounts...

I recently started getting this error message while syncing on Windows XP running Outlook 2007.....
iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone "Nick DeGiovine's iPhone" because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated...!

Mackinator,
All of the email addresses are with servers that have presets on the iPhone, and it appears the interaction between what you are syncing, and those presets is where you are having the error.
You may want to consider using some of those presets. For example bellsouth.net's email is now hosted by Yahoo. You can enter the settings for it in a few steps. When adding the account to the iPhone, choose the "Yahoo" presets. Put in the username as your entire @bellsouth.net email address. There will be @yahoo.com visible, but won't affect the functionality of the account, and people you send to won't see the @yahoo.com after your address. The Bellsouth account will now work, and should also get push notifications for your Bellsouth email via Yahoo.
For your GMail account, choosing GMail will configure the outgoing server to work on most networks. The exception is networks that block the majority of ports, such as some work environments.
This article contains more information on mail settings including the information about @bellsouth.net and Yahoo.

Itunes could not sync mail account ... because the iphone canceled the sync

Hello
I get the error "Itunes could not sync mail account to the Iphone "........" because the iphone canceled the sync
Calendar, Bookmarks, Music and Video are Syncing ok
Strange !!
Any Idea ?
Best
Cyril

i had a similar mail sync issue with a pop3 business account. i think the issue was i deleted the account from my iphone instead of removing it thru itunes. this was causing the canceled mail sync error with any changes to my syncable mail accounts to my iphone. so, i went it and re-added that pop3 account and it solved the problem. it now syncs everytime and allows me to make changes to which accounts i want on my iphone....which wasn't happening before.

I'm trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library - but I get an error message saying I Tunes Library full. What can I do?

I have an Ipad 2. I am trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library, but I get an error message - saying the itunes library is full. How can that be? I've deleted lots from the library to see if that would help - but it still states I am about 25gb short. Can anyone help what to do?

Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.
