IPhone :: Can't Sync The 4S - "waiting For Sync To Start"
Mar 14, 2012
I can't sync my iphone. I've never had problems with iPhones I've had in the past, just with my 4S. What happens is it stays on "waiting for sync to start" and eventually times out saying it failed to sync.I restarted my computer and phone..still having the problem.I tried syncing via cable, rather than over wi-fi. I even turned off wi-fi on both my mac and the phone...didn't resolve the issue I restored my phone to a back up. .no dice again I restored my phone and set it up as a new iPhone...it synced TWICE, but every time since it has had the same problem.....so basically, no dice.
I use a Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i). For the past one week whenever Gmail app is opened it shows 'Waiting for sync' and after 30 seconds or so the app closes with the message ' Unfortunately - Gmail has stopped'. I did the settings reset, factory reset and reinstalled the o/s.
I have this syncing problem with my iphone 4s and I received this error when I sync my iphone it says " The iPhone *myphonename* could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." When this happens, I cannot sync everything (eg. photos, songs and etc) and it just keeps showing this message.
I recently got my iPhone 3gs out of recovery mode by using itunes on a different computer. Now it won't sync with my itunes, always coming up with the error message 'the iPhone '_____ iPhone' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.' I'm using the latest itunes and the latest software on my phone with windows vista.
First my app updates would not complete on the phone for certain apps. i hooked u to my itunes on Win& and it transferred purchases it seemed. But when try to synch get message that synch failed to start. Help!!!
I have been having a problem syncing my iphone 4s with my desktop mac. I have downloaded the latest version of itunes. I had no problems syncing before and this is the first time I am encountering this. Error message reads, "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
When I attempt to sync my phone with my computer it says "sync session failed to start". This just started happening after having no trouble at all. What do I do?
I use a Mac laptop at home (older one with Tiger OS) , and PC at work. I do not want to share home info with the work PC but would like to be able to sync my work outlook calendar to my iphone 6.I also do not want my work email on my iphone. Of course the IT guys at work don't like Macs and say this can't be done.Â
Is it possible to have Birthdays entered into iOS contacts (which do show up in the iOS calendar) sync to Exchange/Outlook 2010 via activesync? (not using iTunes)
I wanted to update my software to the latest version so before i did that i made sure i synced/backed up my phone. Then i restored my phone from back up only to find that my contacts have all dissapeared. Why?
All my apps, calender, notes, photos etc have appeared except for my contacts.
I can't seem to get App Sync 3.1 to sync the apps I've gotten from Cydia. I've tried reinstalling it, deleting it and then downloading a fresh copy of it, but no luck either way. And yes, I DID restart after both scenarios. I'm running 3.13 on a 3GS.
Just attempted to upgrade to OS 5 and all was going well up until the phone re-booted, blackberry on the phones screen with a loading bar that stuck 3/4 the way for a good half hour, i disconnected, battery pulled and phone just wont load past 3/4. DM says it waiting for device to start?
I've got a new iPhone for only a few months, and I have no problem making custom ringtones, but sometimes, when i sync them to my iPhone, here comes the problem: "it shows up as a ringtone in iTunes, but it won't sync to the phone. I've restarted my phone several times, hoping that would do it. I've removed all my ringtones, then re-synced them but still nothing."
I searched the forum, Googled this and found that a lot of user have the similar problems but no sound solutions. It took me a long time to finally get this problem fixed before I found an article how to sync iPhone ringtone on mac. I learned that iPhone Ringtones have a lot of limitations like it's up to 30 secs, none of the song fields (song name, artist, composer, etc) have special characters etc, which I didn't know before.Well, if you have the similar problems, I am sure that can help you out.
From time to time, I experience that my Xperia X10 does not automatically sync e-mail accounts (using the supplied/standard e-mail application). I've set up a number of e-mail acocunts (6) with different update rates ranging from 15 to 60 minutes. I can go in to one of the accounts, whereby it syncs and I can see that I have received a number of new e-mails (for a period more than 6-12 hours, without receiving any type of notification.
This is really annoying since I miss important emails. What can be done to ensure that they sync automatically and that I receive notifications?
I have a newly arisen problem where my BB Bold 9650 will synch addresses and other data but fails to complete the synch with calendar. The pop up message from Intellisync says "connector specific error" I have tried reloading the start up disc but no change.
I just noticed that my calendar was not syncing with my Google calendar, and went in to settions>accounts and noticed that the sync brower (which was new to me) had stalled and turned the sync circle "red". I then shut off sync browser and rebooted a couple times and my calendar is now synced. Seems that Google is adding feattures as don't recall seeing sync browser.Just curious, is there a webpage that documents or advises updates to this device so that I don't scratch my head each time? The "Apps" do a great job of advising changes, sure would be nice to see changes in the OS.
I get new phone restored and try using BB desktop to sync my Outlook contact list with phone. It wants to errase all contacts and then add all of them back in each time. Also get an error at the end of sync "During sync, some of the records were invalid. The following 1 records were skipped:Address Book: Device - 0Microsoft Outlook - 1 Do you want to view the sync log for more details Yes / No" Never did this with last phone.
With my wife, we got 2 BB Curve 8520 and we're now trying to sync both of them with our Outlook 2003 SP3 on XP SP3. Both do the same thing:
1/ First sync goes well, the BB calendar gets filled up, 2/ Everything syncs well during a few days, 3/ One day, the sync tells us it will delete 3000+ elements on Outlook, of course I click Reject and cancel the sync, 4/ I restart OK by synching one-dir from Outlook tp BB, 5/ A few days after, it returns to step 3 and is behaving bad again.
I can't get any durable solution, the only thing I got is a workaround that lasts only a few days.
following situation: - About 1150 contact entries in Outlook - About 2000 calendar entries in Outlook - Software: DTM 5.0.1 - Mailer: Outlook 2003 connected to Exchange 2003 Blackberry Device: - Connected to Desktop via USB - No e-Mail function needed! When i try to sync everything looks fine with all entries. But if i sync again directly after a sync is finished, there are about 200 calendar entries to sync. If i resync these entries, the next time they should be synced again. Seems like al loop! Everytime i try to sync these 200 entries they found by DTM again to sync. I've erased the Device Cache and the Intellisync folder on the Desktop - but the problem still appears!
I bought the X10 mini pro simply because I love SE phones and I wanted to have my office e-mail with me where ever I go but I have been so disappointed.It's never been possible tp set up my e-mail on the Roadsync application from Android 2.1 there is this error -1002 that I get any time I try to Synchronize my mails and this is getting me crazy; one of the most important reason I bought the the X10 mini pro - get my corporate e-mails is becoming impossible. When it is connected on WiFi, it does sync all my emails but immediately it is switched to 3G all the mails in the inbox disappears and it's not able to sync again.
If I fill out the address and birthday fields on the web site contacts page. Sync to my phone fails. If I fill out the address field on my phone, then it doesn't complete the relevent fields on the web site. The address fields on the web site are different to the phone and fields on the site are not supported by the phone's address book.
It seems like the two are running different software and are slightly incompatible
iphones sync stops when "determining apps to sync" - any clue how to fix this? ipad syncs ok, but my iphone 4s and wife's iphone 4s doesn't get past stage 4 of the sync
1. I have a few messages that I got a couple of days ago, and for some reason, those 5 last messages won't sync into Ovi. But if I send myself a new message now, it will sync that new one, still ignoring those other 5.
They are in the Inbox. I'm using Ovi 2.1.1.1 Windows 7. Connected via Bluetooth. Nokia n95 (4gb) is my mobile. Why is this happening?
2. Can I somehow reset/delete my current sync profile and start over with a fresh new sync of my mobile phone? I tried to un-install and re-install Ovi, but all the old sync data was already there... I want Ovi to "start over" if you will, in hope that this issue above goes away.
