    ERROR MESSAGES WHILE SYNCING IPHONE 3GS WITH ITUNES 11.0.1
    I just upgraded to iTunes 11.0.1 and although my music, podcast and apps sync with my iPhone 3GS (Version 4.1), iCal and Address Book doesn't! I get the following error messages:
    After clicking OK, another dialog box appears that states:
    Also, iSync has this to say:
    Until the upgrade, I had no problems syncing my iPhone 3GS with iTunes!
    How can I correct this new issue?
    Thank you very much in advance,
    David Sampson.

    Mmmmmm how strange.... have just closed and reopened and problem seems to have cleared.....

  • Unknown error (-50) while syncing iPhone 3G

    I updated my iPhone to 2.01 and started getting the message: "iPhone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)." So then the 2.1 came out and it worked once but I dropped the phone and broke the glass. After getting a new phone, I restored everything from backup and now I am getting the same message. Because my iTunes library is getting so large, I have it on a separate drive so that my internal HD has some space to breath. Does this have anything to do with it or is it something else? I have reset the phone, restarted the computer and restored it again from iTunes. Any help would be appreciated.

    The problem is with iPhoto for Mac.

    The last release of iOS to support the 3G was 4.2.1, which was released on November 22, 2010.
    iOS 4.3, released on March 11, 2011, did not support the iPhone 3G.

  • Updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

    updated iTunes yesterday and now cannot sync iPhone 5

    Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
    Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

  • ITunes has stopped working while sync photos

    I have been having problems since I updated iTunes to 10.4, it keeps crashing (itunes has stopped working) while sync photos. After uninstalling and re-installing the problem still stayed. I therefore tried sync photos a batch at a time (15 photos at a time) IT WORKED but I still cannot sync my videos. I think that the problem is that this new version of itunes cannot cope with big files and therefore it crashes. I HOPE THAT APPLE WILL SORT OUT THIS PROBLEM

    downgrade to itunes 10.3 as 10.4 broke this feature. if not, just unclick the include videos box and your sync should complete. here's hoping apple fixes this in itunes 10.5.

  • Have a first gen ipad. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools download only and try installing manually"

    Have a first gen iPad with 4.3 IOS. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools>download only and try installing manually". This is as far as I can get. Can't find tools to manually download. When I try to reset to factory settings, I get an error also.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Time out error while syncing Iphone on Vista

    My Problem:
    - PC running Vista Home Premium and latest Itunes (8.2.1.6)
    - Syncing with Ipod Nano (4. gen) works without problems
    While Syncing my new IPhone 3gs Itunes properly creates a backup and syncs apps and music bought/installed on the Iphone with the PC but fails to copy Music and Podcasts from the PC to the Iphone.
    Error message (in german) declares "Sync failed due to devoce timeout" and afterwards "Sync failed due to media could not be found" (No error code no.).
    I tried sofar:
    - de- and reinstalling Itunes, Quicktime and Apple updater
    - reset of the Iphone
    - reinstalling Iphone OS via Itunes (this only worked on a different computer and failed on mine, also due to timeout)
    Similar problems have been reported by other users in independent germas user forums.
    Does anyone have an idea how to fix it?
    thx GT1910

    I have the same problem, OS is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition 64 bit, iTunes 8.2.1.6 64 bit version.
    Brand new iPhone 3G S 32 GB, attempted sync, managed about 140 files then got the same message as reported above. Once it fails, it wont work again until I reboot, then I might be able to sync 20-30 songs, then it fails again. I'm adding a few files at a time to the sync to try and do it in bits, but it seems to gradually be getting worse, now I cant even get 10 tracks to sync.
    This is my first ever Apple product and I have to say, not impressed so far :0(

  • ITunes error messages while syncing after 0SX 10.6.6 update

    After installing the recent OSX 10.6.6 update, I am receiving the following error messages in iTunes when trying to sync both my iPhone 4 and my 1st generation Apple TV:
    iPhone error message:
    "The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    Apple TV error message:
    "iTunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I'm not sure if this matters - but in the iPhone error message - it does not state if the "disk" is the iPhone or the computer - but in the Apple TV error message it does make this distinction, saying that the problem is on my computer and specifically mentions photos.
    Now, once I dismiss either of the error messages, the sync progresses normally and completes successfully. Also, I have checked my computer (MacPro) and all diagnostics (including the internal hard drives) pass with flying colors. And the computer is working fine otherwise - so I have no reason to believe that there is a hardware problem with the computer. And I would find it very strange that I would have a hardware problem with both my iPhone and Apple TV appearing at the exact same time. And finally, both the iPhone and Apple TV are performing normally when in use.
    Since this problem did not start until after running the 10.6.6 update - logic tells me that is where the problem probably lies.... the question is how to resolve it - anyone have any ideas?

    Both those symptoms are consistent with a damaged photo cache. If you remove your existing photo cache as per the instructions in the following document, does that get you past the error?

  • ITunes keep showing unknown error 48 while restoring iphone 4s. I've already followed applesupport suggestions of reinstalling iTunes, deleting previously downloaded ipsw on my computer and re-downloading it (countless times!) but still to no avail.

    Hi. A very much help needed.
    - iTunes keep showing unknown error (48) while restoring my iphone 4s
    - I've already re-install iTunes various times
    - Already delete previously downloaded 8.3 ipsw and re-downloaded it countless times
    - Changed and edited hosts in windows drivers as per shown on guides
    but... to no avail!!!!
    I am now without any phone to be used.
    HELP ME PLEASE

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

  • ITunes is not consistent while syncing songs and tones with iPhone 6

    Hi
    I had iPhone 4 but 2 years ago, I had severe problems while syncing songs to my iPhone. The iTunes would miss some songs while syncing. In next sync, some songs were added but some other ones went missing. I was very frustrated with the dependency of iPhone on iTunes. Since last 2 years I was on windows/android and decided to go back to iPhone (6) hoping that things would have been better in these last 2 years... however, had a lot of disappointment.
    1. Note that I have a new laptop (Windows 8) with fresh install of iTunes. There was always problems while installing iTunes as I had to install in "adminstrator mode".  After installing, whenever I run itunes as "administrator" it lets me tweak the preferences of itunes easily, but does not allow me to add any mp3 songs to a playlist. I have to then shut down the itunes and run it normally: it allows me to add mp3s to playlist.....
    2. I have a work laptop which I use to sync work related device (iPhone 6 mentioned is never synced with this work PC) and have a different iTunes login. With this work PC, I never had problems with iTunes install or syncing to iDevice
    3. While syncing my home PC to iPhone 6, I can always see iTunes tries to transfer some songs which I know were already there on iPhone a few minutes ago. It is also "moody": it will sometimes say that "xyz" ringtone cannot be synced as it was not found!
    4. The iTunes frequently hangs while trying to sync (on step 1 of  5 of sync)
    5. I got so frustrated I had to delete all songs, from iPhone (took a while!), completely uninstall iTunes, remove iTunes library from "C:\users\"username\Music" folder, reinstalled iTunes, painstakingly created the whole library, synced. This time it was a success
    6. Apparently, 2 years ago with my iPhone 4, the same problems used to occur (I had another itunes account and different PC then).
    My past is haunting me again! Please help. I am so afraid to do another iTunes-iPhone 6 sync as I fear selective loss of songs...... Please help! I have already spent 5 hours (out of 48 hours that I had been associated with iPhone 6 since its release on 19 Sep), on problem solving, reading articles and am so frustrated with iTunes sync issue that I am ready to sell this phone although very nicely made by Apple. On Android, I simply add songs to SD card and use a player called Folder Player that makes a playlist of folders with music in it. There are so many "behavioral" problems that I have come across on different forums and wonder why Apple cannot fix them?

    Hi Pamela85
    Can't say much about Mac, however I discovered an issue in Windows PC that my profile did not have full access to C: drive (admin rights). Consequently, iTunes had difficulty with getting into the right mode where it could make changes. I have created a partition (D Drive), have installed iTunes there. Doing some experiements; will revert back in due course of time after doing some rounds of sync....
