  • IPod cant be updated (unknown error -50)

    I made a fresh install of WinXP pro (with a nLite customized CD). I installed iTunes (current version) and my iPod Shuffle is recognized by the program. But if I try to copy songs to my iPod, iTunes says that my iPod cant be updated. The volume cant be read or written. Sometimes a 2nd error message occurs that says unknown error (-50).
    I get no error message during startup of iTunes, the iPod is recognized by iTunes and Windows as well. All seems to be working, but it dont if I tried to update the iPod. I assume that a needed service of windows maybe missing, but dont know which one are necessary.
    I also tried to reset my iPod. But this do not work with this version of iTunes. So I use the older program ipodsetup to reset my iPod to version 1.14 but this doesnt solve my prob too.
    Any ideas? Plz help!
    Plz help.

    It's weird. I format my iPod and plug it into usb again. iTunes popup and asked for a name of the new iPod. I choose one and I choose autofill, too. Then iTunes filled up my iPod with songs. So far every thing was ok. But after this op was finished, I make some settings which needs to be saved on my iPod Shuffle and of course the same error occurs again. I cant put songs on it manually, this seems only to work on 1st launch of iTunes (u know every time u start iTunes the message "dont plug off iPod..." appears, where I got no errors messages at all).
    I need ur support becuz I cant figure out the reason why this happens! I cant use my iPod becuz I cant choose which music has to be copied on it.

  • Songs on ipod cant b updated bc playlists dont exist ne mor?

    After I connect my ipod, when it's supposed to be updating all my songs, this message appears:
    Songs on the iPod "Nicole's iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
    Why??? It's tragic. All the songs on my ipod are gone, yet they're still on iTunes.
    Any help please !

    Did you change the playlists any? You might want to go into the preferences, uncheck all the playlists, put it on manual update, and delete all the songs from the iPod by hand. Then put it back to the playlist update and recheck the ones you want. Maybe that will let it reset with the correct names. Might not work, but it can't hurt to try

  • Just upgraded to Mavericks and cannot use iphotos. I get an error message that I have iphoto 9.3.2. I have tried to update to 9.4 9.4.3 and 9.5 all without success. Now I cant access updates Help!!!!!

    I need help desperatly cant get in iphotos and can seem to update iphotos either paid or free . Help me please

    How did you originally install iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled with Lion or an earlier system? Or did you buy iLife install DVDs?
    What happens, when you try to update?
    For the AppStore to see iPhoto to update it, it must beinstalled in the Applications folder and called simply iPhoto.
    When you sign into the AppStore with your AppleID, do you see iPhoto on the "Purchased" tab of the App Store?  Is there an "Accept" part of the window? If yes, accept the iLife apps. Then look again on the updates part of the AppStore.
    Have you upgraded Mavericks to the latest version 10.9.1? That is supposed to fix update problems.

  • Error message: Ipod will not update HELP!

    I have reset and restored my ipod mini and I am still running into the same problem. When I attempt to add music to my ipod i get an error message and the upload stops. About 100 songs will go onto my ipod but no more than that. Im using a powerbook and I havent had any troubles before. Please help!

    the image that is with the message is stop sign with an exclamation point and then the itunes symbol over it.

  • Pic's disappear from ipod???  help pls

    After few days my pictures just disapear like they were never there. Music is fine but pics are gone? Anyone have a solution to this problem.?
    Thanks

    Try this, hold the opt + cmd key when opening Iphoto, Check all the boxs to rebuild your library. Go get a beer (it could take a while **took mine 4 hours for 6543 photos**), if the rebuild is done. Quit Iphoto, launch Itunes (make sure all your ipod photo sync prefs are right) , and pray. It worked for me. Finally.
    Exporting 6500 photos, re importing them and creating albums.... umm I don't have time years to do that, especially when it shouldn't be doing this.
    Btw, I had the same problem, and NOBODY responded.
    Look at my posts, you'll see. All of the postings I replied to are steps that got me on the right path, to making it worse. This is about as frustrating as it gets. I too called apple. I was on the phone with them for FIVE hours and no one there could help me. They said, "We'll get an engineer to help you, and get right back to you" I haven't heard a thing. VERY DISAPOINTED in apple care.
    Anyway, I wish you luck. Don't count on anyone or anything from here, just takes time away from our short lives, a and replaces it with angst. Same with Apple Care. Im glad I paid for that nonsence, NOT! At least I will get a battery change out of them, but thats about it.
    If worse comes to worse, sit back relax, and be thankful your ipod isn't floating in Mississippi. It could be worse.

  • HT2305 im getting a error of 2503 cant dowmload updates help

    i keep getting errors when i try to update please help its error 2503

    Are you a VB programmer? You follow VB conventions in your class and variable naming, not Java.
    I don't know if this is your problem, but I think the testServlet needs to call include instead of forward. Forward does not return to the servlet, yet you have writes to the output stream after the call to forward.
    I hate seeing HTML code in servlets. This might be better done with a JSP.
    I hate seeing database connections being created inside a servlet and hardwired JDBC driver class names and database URLs. Those should be set outside your class. A pooled connection would help performance, if you ever get past this problem.

  • HT203167 i downloaded the latest update ios 7.0.4 and update my iphone 5, but to my surprise i couldnt locate the downloaded file on itunes and i've also checked my itunes folder, still cant see the file. pls anybody who can help.

    The downloaded file is probably stored at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates. In general it is probably best to "download and install" updates than download and then install later. Note that you cannot revert to the older firmware if you don't like the update, even if you have the old .ipsw files.

  • Can't do anything with my ipod thanks to the new update HELP!

    So the new 10.5 update tried to download.and just like everyone else it wouldnt complete downloading because of error message blah blah whatever. THAN i plug in my ipod and it says it wont work due to the apple mobile software whatever. SO after going through a jillion threads and uninstalling using the uninstall menu in program and features AND using REVO Uninstall, AND going through progam files & program files (x64) ive got read of anything to do with itunes as everyone suggested. now no matter what version of itunes/quicktime i download nothing will work. i downloaded itunes 8.2 and it said my library was too new ituneslibrary.itl or whatever wouldn't allow itunes to open at all. so of course it wanted to automatically update to itunes 10.5 which comes full circle back to the begining.. IT WONT INSTALL BECAUSE OF THE BLAH BLAH WHATEVER ERROR BOX.
    i now have no music on my ipod. cant use my ipod. i cant do anything. is there a way to RESET or something. im not concerned about getting my original library back,or getting back anything off my ipod. is there a way to fresh start? with new itunes? i have all my musicbacked up or i have the actual cds so like i said im not concerned at all with getting my original library back. all i want to do is get itunes back so i can listen to music and use my ipod again PLEASE :[
    someone help. i have windows 7. and this is just a nightmare for me. i need my ipod to function,****.

    Restore...
    From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • Help pls i cant use the secondary camera of my nok...

    pls help me i cant use the secondary camera of my nokia n96.. i dont what happened pls help...just when i updated in 20.050 and when i use the secondary camera it says " unexpected error occured."  help pls what will i do?

    first of all, remove your battery and leave it out for five minutes then replace it. see if this solves the problem. if it does not, backp all your data to memory card or the mass storage (16gb) in the phone, or as a backup file .nbu in Nokia PC Suite. then perform a hard reset (*#7370 and *#7780#) to clear the phone to default factory settings. if this still does not work, then try the three-finger hard reset. if this still does not work, you will have to take your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to look at.
    remember to do appropriate backup of all your files first. let us know how it goes.
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!
