Same problem here since latest update.  As usual poor support from Apple with no answer or fix for this bug.

  • The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)

    Every few minutes, I get an error message from iTunes that says:
    "The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)"
    Quitting and restarting iTunes doesn't seem to make the error go away.  All of my music and movies seem to play just fine - not sure why the error keeps popping up - any clues?
    - iTunes library is located in it's normal spot (~/user/music/iTunes/)
    - OS 10.8.2
    - iTunes 10
    - iMac 27" early 2010

    Thanks again for the gracious response UV.
    You've pointed out a problem...there are a lot of WAV files that I have like unreleased live shows of bands like the Beatles, Neil Young, Miles Davis etc that I've gotten off Bittorrent trading. When I look at the "get info" part of the song in iTunes the details that I've hand entered (dates, venue, song, musicians,etc) does show up.
    But when I go back to the actual file itself, many are simply tagged something like "track 1" and the only way I currently keep track of all this is how I organize my library ( Musician or Band folder \ Album folder \ indivual tracks). There are literally thousounds of songs that I've entered data for on these WAV files.
    Besides getting my current error problem fixed, has anyone who trades live shows come up with an easier way to organize their music. I understand that I may be in the minority with all my WAV files and that many users simply upload CDS, or mostly buy tracks online which is easier to simply grab the data back if they need from some database. I feel like I'm missing out on something big. Maybe I just need a different program for my particular application (archiving & playing music). ANy ideas from other bittorrent traders of unreleased material?
    I am learning more and more about how this all works by the minute, and have taken your advice UV about copying all my current library info and putting it somewhere safe. Hopefully this means everything I've entered up until a few days ago will be fine. Still, I have plenty music waiting for me to hear in FLAC files that need to be decoded into WAV files; but I want to wait to do this until I can be certain all my hard work entering data won't go to waste and my error problem has been fixed.
    thanks for all insights - Sonny

  • ITunes Library cannot be saved. Unknown Error has Occurred (-54)

    I have been having the following message appear in iTunes:
    iTunes Library cannot be saved. Unknown Error has Occurred (-54)
    I created a new library which seemed to solve the problem.... until I plugged in my iPod Classic or tried to Sync my iPhone. When this happened this warning message would come every 10 seconds or so making it a nightmare to do anything as the dock icon would bounce or iTunes would pop up. Can anyone suggest what might have caused this problem and how to resolve it.
    Thanks
    Matt

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

  • The ipod "name" cannot be updated, an unknown error has occurred (-48)

    a few nights ago while i was updating songs to my ipod video, this thing appeared on the screen in a quick flash and i wasnt able to read what it said. then my computer blinked and resetted, causing my ipod to unplug without ejecting properly. so i pulled out the plug from the butt of the ipod only to find out that when i opened it, all my songs were gone. a good 3000 i think. i think i also pressed menu and play at the same time after that.
    the ipod "name" cannot be updated, an unknown error has occurred (-48)
    this is what keeps appearing on my i-tunes everytime i try to transfer songs to my ipod vid. the weird thing is that when i drag and drop songs from i-tunes to the ipod icon, it says its updating. but when its all done, not a single song appears on my ipod. and it also said something like "cannot be restored" and "ipod service error" on the ipod updater. i've tried on both computer and laptop and am experiencing the same problem. as of now, my ipod is working but it's just all empty. could anyone help? im so frustrated coz this is the second ipod i've purchased since the last one that broke down. thanks.

    k i tried that but i couldnt find cupertino usa on my ipod. i did: date and time - set time zone - then a list of places come out with (DST) beside each of em. i chose bangkok (dst). tried to plug it again on i-tunes and the same darn thing appears. that dreaded -48 error. ill check out the rest of those links you guys posted anyway. thanks again for tryin to help.

  • I am trying to download an App in the iTunes Store but I keep getting an error message that reads: "Could not sign in - An unknown error has occured." Why?

    I've downloaded the latest iTunes, set the DNS to 8.8.4.4, set the search domain to google.com, reset my Apple ID and password, restarted iPhone 4, closed out of the iTunes Store App, reset the router, reset the internet connection etc. etc. with no luck still. Everything else on the iPhone and internet connection is 100% functional with the exception of me being able to connect to the iTunes Store to download an app. Why? How do I fix it? Thank you for any and all responses.

    Ok..
    Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo may help this.
    Restart your Mac after installing the combo then try downloading Lion.
    It's ok to install the combo even though you are already running v10.6.8
    BEFORE you do this make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available spare
    From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    Read this article before upgrading to Lion > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities

  • Err The iPod "mmustafa" cannot be updated.An unknown error has occured(-50)

    Hi,
    My iPod shuffle: When ever I try to sync or write new song: iTune errors out saying: "Can not read or write from iPod".It's able to play and list the contents. I tried to restore once and it worked after restoring. Then the next time when I tried to write some new songs I get the same error. I upgraded my iTunes to ver 7. iPod Diagnistics (iTune Ver:7) shows everything normal. With iTune 7 if i try restore, it says "restoring..." and it never stops (more than 5 hours)
    Your help is much appreciated thanks in advance.

  • I keep getting "cannot sign in, an unknown error has occurred" when I try to anything requiring my I'd and password on this new iPad mini. I tried a different I'd and password and have the same issue

    Can someone tell me if this is a known issue? I cannot do anything with this thing except look at what is already loaded.

    Tried that and after entering password, I got the same error. I tried some other steps of changing the date a few years ahead and then beck and also resetting the DNS from other posts and neither helped.
