Trying to sync my phone. I get an error that sunc session failed to start

I am trying to back up my phone. But when I try to sync it I get an error stating sync session failed to start. I dont know what I am doing wrong to get this error.

Hmm.  It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • My laptop died. I had music in the Cloud. When trying to sync my phone to the new labptop that is holding my music library I get a notice that says need to access music from ICloud. HOW???

    My laptop died. My phone had my entire library on it. I set up a new laptop for my phone but when I try to sync the phone I get a note that says I must access my music from ICloud. I can't figure out how to do it?  Also, all my purchased music is showing up in my library on my computer but NOT all the music I had in my old library.  Any ideas?

    Your music will only be where you put it.
    Did you copy all of your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one?

  • HT1199 I updated Itunes on my PC and now when i try to open Itunes i get a error message saying "application failed to start because MSVCR80 was not found" then whenI close that pop up I get a error message saying "windows was not installed correctly Erro

    I updated my itunes the other day and now it won't open I get error message saying "application failed to start because MSVCR80 was not found"  When I close that window I get message stating Itunes was not installed correctly Error 7 Windows error 126.  My PC is a Acer and I'm running Windows Visa.  I tried to uninstall Itunes and reinstall it and get same message.  Can anyone help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • When updating Itunes I keep getting an error messge mobile device failed to start check for sufficient privileges

    I need help upgrading Itunes.I keep getting an error message that says
    Mobile device failed to start check for sufficient privileges.I am running windows 8

    Same here - did the latest iTunes update and boy am I glad I did that; haven't been able to run iTunes since. Have re-installed after uninstalling as per one of the other help pages, re-booting, and now instead of getting the above error message I get one that says Apple Application support not found. Please uninstall then reinstall. Apple error 2.
    Not thanks - Apple, you might want to do something about this I'm guessing since I'm no longer able to use iTunes thanks to your update?

  • Trying to sync my iPad and get the message that "all existing apps and their data will be replaced"

    Previously my Windows 7 laptop didn't recognise my iPad but I persevered and now am getting the message when trying to update the iOS that if I sync, "all existing apps and their data will be replaced" so I'll lose everything I've bought since I last synced (which is a while).  How can I back up my apps before syncing fully and then updating. I have 'transferred purchases' using the File menu but still getting the message.

    Sounds like you have created a new library somehow. Ideally you would restore your old library and the problem would go away. If that is not possible then you should be able to:
    Backup the device to the computer
    Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Download remaining past purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, where available
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • When trying to print a photo I get an error that themes need to be installed. I checked and themes are installed so what now?

    I am on my MacPro desktop. I am using iPhoto vdrsion 9.2.3.
    While perusing my photos, I click one and attempt to print the photo (Cmd P).
    I get a dialog box alerting me to an error which reads: There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable.
    I have tried downloading the latest print drivers for my HP Photosmart C4200 but no luck.
    Although I know that a basic theme allows you to select border, borderless, etc. for your printed photo, I cannot figure out how to install a theme.
    My workaround is to email the photo to myself and print it from the Preview app.
    PS: I read in another forum that I should check in  user/library/app support/iPhoto for a Themes folder and if found, I should move it to HD/Library/App Support/iPhoto/ and reboot. But I checked for Themes folder in both of these locations and it is there!!! With some 98 entries. So now what? Reinstall?????
    Any ideas?

    You'll have to reinstall iPhoto in order to get the themes linked back to the application. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,

    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

  • While trying to install Firefox I keep getting the error that it isn't a valid win32 application.

    I used the control panel, add and install programs to uninstall the version of Firefox that I was running, 8 I think. Sure that I could just easily download a new one and start fresh.

    I copy pasted this from the developers website for the minimum requirements of your device: Macintosh® OS X 10.4 – 10.5, PowerPC G4, G5 or Intel Core Duo processor, 800 MHz processor or higher, 256 MB RAM, CD/DVD-ROM drive, 300 MB free hard disk space, Video card with 32 MB of video RAM, 1024 x 768 24-bit color display, Speakers, keyboard & mouse.
    Does a macbook pro meet these requirements?
