Sync Server Not Working Error

i have done everything also that apple support have suggested on their web site i have been at it for 2 days even to installing a earlyer version of itunes to no avail because it wont let u install if your tunes is saved to later version i have over 300.00 pounds worth of music apps and books and films !!! i doubt very much that i am going to keep it all except to download it all on to cd !!! the whole point of ipods ,iphone is not to have loads of cds everywhere i am going hang on till the weekend when i go to the gadget show in birmingham then the apple stand better watch out because i doubt i will be the only unhappy apple customer haranging them ....even the genise apple trainned man at 02 had no clue COME ON APPLE UR LETING US DOWN BIG TIME !!!! a very unhappy bunny i am 😟

I have the same trouble with the new itunes download. I have a 8gb Itouch, it has always worked OK before. I get the syncserver has stopped working followed by mdcrashreporttool has stopped working. The info tab on my itouch is blank and will not let me tick or select anything. It is so annoying not being able to sync contacts and calendar. I use Outlook 2007. I have tried all the suggestions that I can find, totally removed itunes and quicktime, re-installed. Checked my firewall etc. Restored my itouch.
Lost count of the times I have shutdown and restarted.
I was going to get an Iphone last Saturday but this happened to me Friday and I am totally put off.

There u go apple at least one person you have lost i know apple monitor this forum are they waiting for one of us to come up with a fix for this issues at least then they will not have to spend any more pennies on there boffs.....

i gave it one last ditch attempt last night waste of time totally i am now going to have to use pen and filofax to orginase the next month of meetings and stuff and also will have to get the old fashioned books out again ..... Well at least at the gadget show i might find something to replace my iphone because i cannot honestly say that customer care is formost in Apples minds .... yes i do feel let down .....like i said before any help out there pls get in touch and apple c u at NEC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same problem! Apple, they don't care!! don't need to find fix snce we already bught the ****** things (iPhone iTouch etc)!

it works on vista also, taking the squilte3.dll folder out and moving it to desktop! as soon as i did that i was able to do everything! try it i hope it works for u as well as it did for me! thanks djurgy!!!!!!!!1

Desde que actualice el nuevo ITUNES 9.1, ya no puedo sincronizar mis calendarios y mis contactos. Sale el mensaje: SYNCSERVER dejo de funcionar.

Que hago ?????

i tried it 😟 no joy ......well at least i have a pretty cover on my iphone and some useful apps and a relaxing collection of tunes , and a few books which will have to last me till Apple get there butts in gear.....no sync means no new anything for a while, meetings and email will have to be done the old fashioned way and if all else fails and apple dont do anything 😟 it will make a nice paperweight on my desk !!!

Same problem, i've tried all the things that I could do, reinstall itunes, backed up my pc and I still can't connect my itouch with itunes, my PC doesn't recognize my ipod touch.. and itunes cant find my ipod

I had the same problem with my iPhone which reset to factory setting so lost everything. So been very mad i rang O2 tonight who have took me though a list of possible problems and changed some files on my computer. My iphone can now sync and all seems ok at the moment,Thank god for back up, but not happy with iTunes as it seems to be the new update.
So try contacting your network operator. it took over 30 minutes with O2 but it worked for me. Good Luck.

I seem to have the same problem, every time I plug my iPod Touch into iTunes I get the following message:
" iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later."

This only started on Saturday after I received an update but don't know how to resolve it short of deleting iTunes and starting again.

Hate to burst your bubble, but even deleting itunes (per the Apple recommended process) and reinstalling itunes will not fix the problem (for me in any event).

Thanks for the info, looks like it might be a long wait and see if Apple come up with anything!

Mine suddenly decided to sync. I didn't do anything other than what I described above. I plugged it in to charge it and it suddenly synced.

I don't even have the sqlite.dll file. Is that part of the problem? Can I download it?

Seems to be a common error across platforms and devices. I have an I-phone and Windows Vista and since the recent upgrade to the latest version of Itunes my phone won't sync. I wouldn't mind except that this is my work device so all my appointments are missing, which makes working on the road next to impossible.

Apple you really screwed the pooch on this one.

My hope was to install the previous version of 9.0, however, I now get an error that reads 'The file"i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of i Tunes'.

Apple you s#*k.
