"The iPod “Samia’s iPod touch” could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."
I'm having this error message, I restore my iPod touch (4th generation w/ iOS 5.0.1) to fix this but it did not work. Now, I cannot sync anything (apps, photos, music...) back on it.
What can I do to resolve this?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Try this previous dscussion:
Sync Session Failed to Start iTouch iOS5: Apple Support Communities
Thanks lllaass for the help but nothing there helped me. I restarted iTune and everything works fine now. I think it was a problem with the firewall. iTunes ask for permission at start up for incoming network, once you allow, the syncing is done gracefully. iTunes was open for a while and I guess it was blocking incoming network therefore not allowing my iPod to sync.
Do you want the application "iTunes.app" to accept incoming network connections?
Can anyone confirm this?
Sounds right. A firewall can prevent syncing.
sync session failed to start
