iphone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start
iPhone 4, Windows Vista
I had the same problem. I am running iTunes 11.0.0.163 on Windows 7 64bit. Thanks for all who've posted suggestions. This is what I did and it fixed the problem:
1) closed iTunes
2) configured iTunes to Run as Administrator
3) unplugged the iPhone from USB
4) plugged iPhone into USB
Windows automatically launched iTunes.
The phone now syncs fine.
I'm running a mac with my 3gs iphone with 5.01...
The sync starts then hangs on step 6 of 7 "determing tracks to sync"... any thoughts?
This solved my problem as well.
Worked for me too.
I got the same problem with a 3GS.
Just restarting ITunes did not work for me.
Neither did disconnecting/reconnecting my phone.
Thanks bunches. It's working! 🙂
THis worked perfectly thank u soooo much!!!!
Bingo, shut it down, run as administrator, works fine. Thanks much.
It's work.! I finally synced my iPhone. Running Windows 7 tnx
YAY! Worked for me as well! THANKS😁
Well in my case I'd change the ''Microsoft'' to ''Apple''. Their latest ios is as useful as a frozen banana. (It seems to be a Vista type fiasco.)
thank you this hlepped a lot😁
Works for me. Thanks.

doesn't work for me
