strange itunes sync problem

[csal80]

When I sync with itunes I keep getting this pop up message on the iphone after it is complete saying that 2 items cannot be synced and to see itunes, but I can't find anywhere in itunes that shows me a log detail that will tell me what items cannot be synced. Does anyone know?

Are you using a cable to sync? If so the info will show there in iTunes. It's more then likely an app or music you got from someone.

It happens both ways. You say it appears in iTunes but where exactly in iTunes? Thanks.

The same window that come up saying there was a problem, there should be a + sign on the dialog you can click to expand and see what apps caused problems.

This is only popping up on the iphone and there is no plus sign where I can expand. It refers me to itunes where there is no trace of sync conflicts.

Try connecting via cable to iTunes and doing a sync there ( not over wifi ). iTunes should display the error.

Sync error message on iPad, no message on iTunes

I have a very similar problem and an active incident at Apple Support: Error message on the iPad with no error on iTunes, connected via cable, not wifi.

The problem occurs for me when I have "Include Videos" in the Photos tab ("101 files could not be synced, check iTunes", but iTunes has no error: it just quit syncing after 77 of 178 videos). I suggest you change the sync settings on iTunes for Photos: Select all events/faces/albums but uncheck Videos/Movies, to see if it is the same problem. If you are not syncing from iPhoto but are syncing from a regular file system, there may be similar options. You should be able to determine what kind of media is not syncing via elimination with a bit of effort.

I have 19000 photos/videos (over 19GB) being synced from my iPhoto library to my iPad, and have narrowed it down to videos after syncing 1 year of my library at a time in several steps. Today I am working with the iPhoto support person to repair or refresh stuff in my iPhoto library so see if this helps.

Regarding IOS 5 and iTunes, however, the sync problem is not generating error messages to help find the problem and it has taken me hours of fussing and 3 calls to Apple Support so far to find out what is wrong (all via a process of elimination, not any diagnostic data or messages).

I had no sync problems at all before upgrading to IOS 5, the latest iTunes and latest iPhote 9.2

I will post the results of the Support incident once this is solved.
