That isn't so much an indication of a problem with the computer or Windows, but with NORTON.

Remove Norton and I bet all your issues would have gone away.

Having an issue with a new Iphone 4, I had a black non JB Iphone 4 16gb and just moved to a white iphone 4 16gb

However, I have backed up the old phone, and trying to restore from backup on the new one and I get this

iTunes could not backup the iPhone “iPhone” because the backup session failed.

I have tried deleting the backup and re creating it, different cables etc. Any one able to help, quite frustrated atm

Your iPhone will now sync with iTunes. Between Apple and Microsoft, it is hard for me to understand why they have not come up with a patch to fix this annoying bug that affects so many people. I have been reading posts going back to 2009 where folks were still experiencing this iPhone syncing problem operating Windows 7 64-bit and iTunes. For me, the problem only started when a uploaded iTunes version 10. Hope this helps.

I have found a work around that it's a simple process that worked for me sync my iphone 3g with my windows 7 64-bit acer aspire 1410. I dont know if it will work for everyone but it did work for me and hopefully it will help some others.

I too did try all solutions listed above and nothing worked for me. So as a last try to fix my issue I thought to create a guest account and have all my folder be able to be accessed from the guest account. Then I logged out from my main account and signed in to the guest account and fired up itunes and tried to sync my iphone and I almost couldnt believe and it started syncing EVERTHING! Well it worked. It worked for me anyway.

My original issue was that my photos were not syncing with my iphone. Itunes did recognice the picture folder but wasnt transferring the photos to my iphone even though itunes succesfully finished the syncing process.

I hope this help someone.

Apple is just following the examples set by the current presidential administration. Everything is George Bush's fault. Maybe Apple will blame this on GB also.

Same problem. Dell XPS Laptop - 64 bit - Windows 7 Pro. Problems syncing my iPhone including my older ones I use with WiFi.

I keep getting the error "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click to restore phone to its factory settings."

I do this - and go to my last backup - then make changes like adding or deleting apps. Its fine until I unplug it and plug it back it in. Then I get the same error message.

I noticed Dell had an BIOS update from August - tried that - nothing. I also tried a USB driver update that was on the driver website. I also read through the options in the forum and tried all of them. No luck.

Every time I want to update my iPhone I have to restore it to factory default - apply the last backup - then make all the changes I want - and HOPE I remember to back it up again before I disconnect it because as soon as I unplug it I have the same error again.

Question:

1) If it was a Dell BIOS issue - how come it can read the phone fine when its restored to factory default settings.

2)If its a phone IOS issue - then my older phones should be ok as I didn't update their IOS. So - it can't be that.

3)I can access the photos on the phone just fine from My Computer - and the driver reports its working fine.

Are we sure the phone isn't really working fine and iTunes thinking its not working fine is the error?

Have you tried simply restoring as new and then syncing your content? From your above post, it sounds like you are restoring from backup. The reason I ask is that if there is an issue with a setting or corrupted file in your backup, restoring from backup will only recreate the issue.

I've recieved an iPad and had to install iTunes on my Windows 7 ultimate x64.

1st I imported my music folder and it tasrted importing and playing like 3 secs of random songs while appearing new songs everywhere withou letting me click on pause to stop that annoying 15 minutes +- block time for me to let me start adding songs to my iPad.

Then I started to syncronize my iPad. When the sync finished, also the iTunes finished off with a crash..

Then I reopened iTunes and tried to expand the interpreter and album columns and it won't let me...

Apple, if you force me to use iTunes for anything with an iPhone, iPad, iPod... You better come up with a solution to a problem that I just found out about that has been going on for years...

I like my iPad, but I don't like the iTunes, so the idea of the great powerfull Apple forcing me to use a program that has major problems and clearly a colossal issue with one of the most used versions of Windows Operative systems is just absurdly ridiculous.

I'm a computer engeneer, and I know that if this issues were with Vista that you could have some excuse.. but with Windows 7 there should be no problems at all! It make me even wonder if the bugs are there on purpose...

So to clear your products of defects, shouldn't it be able to work everywhere?

I'll be waiting for that fix...

So please hurry up and fix this urgent issue once and for all.

Oh and when I managed to sync sucessfuly by usb, I set up to sync by wifi and also changed the option to copy backup to my computer, after the syncronization was done half my apps on my iPad where gone.... just like that! ...

You could not have stated it better. I have had problems with syncing my iPhone and my iPad with Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit operating system. I can never tell what it is going to do.

SOLVED MY PROBLEM! Updated Motherboard Firmware (Intel P55 chipset)

I had the similar sync problem with my IPhone 4S, and after testing EVERYTHING else, I suddenly realized that my motherboard had stepped back to a very early firmware revision (F3). So after updating the firmware to F12C, my problems were solved.

My ITunes worked okay, a bit slow compared to after my fix, but I could sync ITunes with it. However, I couldn't import my pictures from the IPhone since Windows 7 couldn't recognize the IPhone as a device. (IPhone not showing in "Computer" or "Autoplay")

Motherboard: GigabyteGA-P55A-UD6 (Intel P55 chipset)

Note: I have previously updated the motherboard firmware (a year ago), but after struggle with entering RAID BIOS setup(some months ago), I did too many resets. The motherboard will step back the firmware, thinking there is a firmware failure. Why didn't I see the old firmware? Cause my Acer monitor takes too long time to light up, approximately 10seconds to start when I reboot, so POST has already passed. The reason I could see the old firmware this time was actually that I had to make a power-off reset due to a hanged driver.

Thanks so much! Nice and simple, worked the first time. At last! 😍
