Error Message "iPod can not be updated.." but works after clicking away msg

Hi!
I have installed an German iTunes 6.0.4.2. and the newes IPod Software under WinXP.
After clicking " iPod Aktualisieren" I get the following message:
Der iPod "xxx" kann nicht aktualisiert werden. Ein unbekannter Fehler ist aufgetreten (-39).
Transl:
The iPod "xxx" cannot be updated. An unknwon Error has occured (-39).
After clicking away the messagebox everything sync's fine.
Whats wrong here? I have the problem for a week or so and already updated iTunes and the iPod software so far. And reset the iPod back to delivery conditions with the update tool. Nothing worked.
kind regards
marcus

I did a search on Google for Error -39, and it suggests 2 things. Installing the latest version (which is sounds like you have) and turning OFF web accelerators if there are any running...

Updated to IOS 8 yesterday and ever since have been getting an error message stating "can not download item, try again later".

After updating to IOS 8 have been getting an error message stating "Can not down load item, please try again later". I have chosen both options to answer (done or retry) but still get the message. I have backed my phone up on iTunes but and still getting the message.

Because all these **** updates Apple can't configurite correctly
one update counteracts another update.
im so ****** with all this ****.
now they want to charge you 20.00 dollars to talk on the phone with them.
this kind of business will bite them in the *** soon.there are other things out there you can change to.
and the people on the phone don't know **** about face book.
probably get blocked for a couple of hours for telling the truth.

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

Error message: IPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1603)

After I upgraded my ITunes and tried to sync my IPod touch I got this message.

Error message: IPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1603)
Hi rtpeter1 ...
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.

Whenever i try to backup my Iphone 4 i get an error message " Itunes can not backup (my Iphone) because the backup was corrupted or not compatible with the Iphone"

whenever i try to back up my iphone it gives me an error message "itunes could not back up (my)iphone because backup was corrupted or not compatible with your iphone" i already deleted the itunes backups through the prefrences tab. this has not helped. what am i doing wrong?

I have the same question and the only reply I've found on the forum was "change the USB hub", which HASN'T worked. So I am accepting new suggestions. Tks!

HT4356 When I try to set up my itouch I get an error message itunes store unknown error 310. I don't have wieless so I hooked the ipod touch up to the computer with the USB port when instructed. But then get the error message and can not get any further.

Error message 310 is happening on my mac book and I am unable to set up my new itouch.

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

Shuffle 1'st generation, 2nd owner
I have the reset utility (which was successful- supposedly) but I still can not put music on the the shuffle. Then I restored but an error message came up - can not be restored (1418) Is the shuffle only aloud to be on one computer?? What do I need to do to fix it... help!

WINAMP 5.32 is the answer. I had the same
problem as you. Yesterday I got a message about the
latetest version of Winamp and it mentioned support
for iPods. I tried it and it works GREAT!! It's MUCH
FASTER than iTunes as well.
Good luck with that... WinAmp 5.32 has been out for a while and it has its share of problems. A quick search of THEIR support forums for "shuffle" got these results:

Preview error message doc "can not be saved because it does not exist"

I have had a long standing problem with Preview. I know it is odd but around closing time every day, two of my computers both running 10.6.8 get error message when trying to save a new document. The document will be open on my screen and when I go to save it I get the error message that the file can not be saved because it does not exist. Some background that may be relevent:
The documents that I create all day long (for at least 6 years) are output from a 4D database. I generate a report from the db and it opens in Preview as a PDF file. All day long I have no issues with creating and saving these docs. Then around 4-4:30 when many people are getting ready to leave two of our computers (one iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core i3 and an older macMini) have this problem. All you have to do to fix it is quit Preview and regen the doc. Unfortunately we often lose a lot of work because of it. I've tried anticipating when it will happen and restart Preview before creating the new doc but that only works occasionally.
I suspect that it has something to do with people logging out (I am usually the last to leave) and perhaps some shared application is effected. Everyone does have their own copy of Preview and we all use separate 4D clients. I have searched the internet many times. I have found some similar problems that people have had with this error but not related to my own. Unfortunately both Preview and "the file can not be saved because it does not exist" are very general terms that bring up all kinds of unrelated things.
I was going to try to delete the Preview Prefs file and start again but I can not find a plist for preview or any other file that is clearly the prefs. Searched the internet for that too but did not find it.
Does anyone have any ideas on this odd problem?
Thanks for reading!
Susan

To answer your questions:
Are you loading them by using Preview>File>Open, double clicking, or dragging the file? None of the above. I am loading them through 4D. I generate a report on 4D and it opens in Preview.
When this happens can you Open another PDF from the same location? Yes, see details below.
Are you loading these PDFs from the Server or another Mac? From the server. The file is created by a 4D client that resides on my disk but the 4D server which it references is on another computer. I am still shared to that computer and my connection to 4D has not changed as far as I can tell.
I found today (details written in response to another question) that when this happens I can save the file to my own desktop but not to the server. It makes me think there may actually be something happening with my connection. I wonder does a server do any realigning (for lack of a better word) of connections as some connections are lost? While I had the document open (the one that I could not save to the server) I went to the server and opened a document that existed there. I saved the file back to the server with a different name. No problem, it worked just fine. Now I am really confused....
1) A PDF file generated by 4D that has not ever been saved to the server can not be saved to the server via Preview around the time that other people are disconnecting from the server and shutting down their computers for the day. Quitting Preview and regenning the document fixes the problem.
2) The same PDF file that can not be saved to the server can be saved to my own disk.
3) Other files that are already existing on the server can be saved with a different name to the server at the same time as a new document can not.
I wish I felt like I was getting closer to the answer...
Thanks for thinking about it.

Error Message "Itunes can not run...."

Hi there. I know I've seen this topic but not sure of the answer. I was asked to upgrade QuickTime and Itunes so I said yes. Since then, when I click on ITunes is says,"Itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall Itunes." My daughter is afraid that all of her IPod music, etc. are gone. Please help.

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
