Itunes could not backup the ipad because the ipad disconnected error message on USB3 port

Does anyone know why I would get "itunes could not backup the ipad because the ipad disconnected" when syncing with USB3 port, but not with USB2 port?

OK I managed to free up more space on my iMac HD to 148Gb. The sync and backup then ran OK! Afterwards there was still about 144Gb free. So it would seem that in order to create an about 5Gb backup file there needs to be about 30 times as much free space on the mac. This can't be right surely?

  • I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

    iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all.

What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
    I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
    This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
    Thank you.

    I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
    Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

  • ITunes could not update this iPhone because of an unknown error occurrence (24)

    Type Phone iPhone 4g cdma
    Please, help
    When I update my phone show me this letter: ITunes could not update this iPhone because of an unknown error occurrence (24)

    I don't think that's an iTunes error code; sounds like a Windows one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123
    I would remove iTunes and all its components completely, reinstall, and try again. Try on another computer if you can also.

  • CS3 "Could not complete your request because of a program error" message

    I am running Photoshop CS3 and I just upgraded to leopard 10.5, the latest version of leopard. My processor is a dual 2.5 ghz powerpc G5 and I have 4.5 GB DDR SDRAM.
    Upon opening the program (whether I'm opening a file or just opening the program) I'm getting a "Could not complete your request because of a program error," error message.
    After clicking ok, I get infinite dialog boxes and have to force quit the program.
    Any known solutions for this?

    Yes, I had that happen this morning as well. That message appeared after I opened a psd file, when it asked if I wanted to update text layers. I clicked ok, the file opened (it's layers appeared in the layers palette), and that that program error dialog popped up immediately after. I never could get it to go away, it just kept appearing in succession. Were you trying to open the file over a network?

  • Error: iTunes could not copy **** to MyiPod because the iPod disconnected

    I am using Lion 10.7.3 with 10.6.1 and an iPod Touch 2nd generation with iOS 5.1.  It all started because I noticed some of my songs were not properly tagged.  So, I went into iTunes to fix them.  Then, I plugged in the iPod and hit sync.  But, it didn't change the songs in my iPod.  So, I decided to try again.  Still didn't change anything.  Don't know why.  In the past, changing the information about the song would cause it to sync again.
    I decided to restore the iPod.  When it was all set, I had it restore from a backup.  Then, perhaps because I am mad, I messed around with iTunes Match.  I have some 50gb of music on my iPod.  So, iTunes Match doesn't work very well for that application.  I like it for my iPad, but not my iPod.  Anyway, when I changed my mind and tried to sync it told me that it couldn't copy a given song name because my iPod disconnected.
    Over and over, it would start copying and then, after about a hundred songs it would say "iTunes could not copy YourSong to MyiPod because the iPod disconnected."
    I went ahead and restored it, again.  This time I decided to just set it up as a new iPod.  It is currently syncing music.  I am up to 300 of 6700.  If this works, I will post that.  Otherwise... what the heck is going on?

    So, the restore didnt solve the problem.  I am reinstalling Lion right now.  I have been having problems with my Time Machine backup drive ejecting itself, too.  Some people reported that reinstalling the OS solved this for them.  And, since and iPod, technically, is a drive, too, I thought I would give it a try.

  • 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!

  • Error messages "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup may be corrupted..." "1 item could not be synced. See iTunes for more information. Not syncing music.

    I'm a recent iPhone 4 user and I just upgraded through AT&T to the 16gb iPhone 5s. The employee at the AT&T store who hooked my family up with phones, told me I could start out with a new phone or back it up to my iPhone 4. So I get home and it takes awhile to back up both phones, so after half an hour, I noticed that my Nirvana albums "In Utero" and "Nirvana" were not syncing. In Utero has twelve tracks, and it would not sync the twelfth track "All Apologies", it would ultimately stop at that track. It would also not sync AT ALL the late Nirvana album. Now, I've tried backing them both up again and I tried updating both phones. But it was only Nirvana not being synced. Now my whole library is corrupt. I have four artists on my phone, six albums, and 78 songs total. That isn't really much...
    I really need help, this is frustrating me because I literally live off of music. I love my new iPhone, I really do, but I've tried literally everything under the sun to sync my music. That's the only problem.
    Thanks to anyone who helps.

    Same problem here too... it's driving me nuts. I share an imac with my boyfriend and we both have iphones and never had a problem syncing or backing up. Then, suddenly, we get the message stated above... but only when backing up HIS phone, a 3GS (mine is a 3G). We have tried everything:
    Deleting the backups and trying to create new
    Changing permissions on all of the backup folders once, twice, 3 times over...
    Changing the name of the backup folder so that iTunes creates a new backup folder
    Creating a new user account for him in the mac os with his own iTunes backup folder and his own permissions.
    NONE of these things worked. The closest we got was in the last attempt of creating a new user account, where it actually CREATED the backup (there is a backup file in the proper folder that is about 4gb in size) but we still get the error message at the end, and the backup is not found in iTunes under device preferences.
    This is extremely frustrating to say the least and I hope somewhere out there has a solution.

  • Itunes could not copy [File Name] because the file could not be read.

    Im trying to sync my ipod with my newly updated collection in itunes. But im getting the above error on random songs during the update process. Sometimes it will get 100/3000 songs complete before i get the error. Other times it only gets 4/3000. There doesnt seem to be a connection to the songs it has trouble on either. Some of the songs are newly added, and some of the songs i already had on my ipod. But it seemed to want to wipe my ipod clean first because i had changed too much in itunes or something. After i get the error itunes seems to think i have disconnected the ipod and wont detect it again until i unmount/mount again. My ipod library also stays empty, even when it gets 100/3000 songs synced before the error.
    I am using windows 7 and an ipod touch version 4.2.1

    Two possibilities come to mind.
    Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
    Or...
    Repair Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

  • Could not complete your request because of a program error" message when opening program

    Hello,
    Same here with the message and I'm on a brand new system:
    new macpro, new mavericks, new photoshop CC and havent done a thing yet.
    Tried all found solutions:
    -generator on/off
    -sniffer on/off
    -GPU on/off
    -300x exit prefs etc
    -re-install PS
    -list-view
    -pushing my belly button
    But nothing helps.
    I tried a little work in PS (render/save etc) and that all seems to work
    BUT....sniffer states:
    2014-02-07 16:23:50.885 sniffer[522:303] invalid display
    ContextOffscreen exception caught and ignored.
    2014-02-07 16:23:50.886 sniffer[522:303] invalid display
    ContextOffscreen exception caught and ignored.
    And dont know what to do about it and/or if that causes it. Thank you. & regards

    I was able to follow your directions and delete almost everything. I couldn't find a PSE 4 path folder. I deleted the com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist and opera preferences. Repaired permissions and restarted computer.
    Still had the same error message when trying to "Save As" a PSD to a jpg. I can save for the Web which is a jpg (but not good enough for printing.)
    Maybe I'll reinstall.
    I'm not having trouble with any other programs. Can't recall having added anything to PSE recently, though if this is the culprit, it might be something I did months ago (though I don't know what) because I haven't tried saving as a jpg in a long time.
    I've been saving my documents as a tiff file. Could that be a cause? I've converted some of these tiff files to PSD and still get the error message.

  • Lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error.

    OS 10.5.8
    (gb mem
    I have recently exported a catalog from my main database (on a mac) with about 700 photos.  Including negative  files
    We opened the catalog on a PC machine in the same version of lightroom. 3.5 camera raw 6.5.  The images were given new keywords and then exported as a Catalog  including Negative files.
    The original catalog has been deleted from the main database on the Mac.
    The  Catalog with the new keywords  saved across the network to the Mac.
    Permissions are open to everyone on the folder the Catalog is in.
    When I try and import the catalog in lightroom I can see the thumbnails, 
    However get this message. I’ve lost many hours trying to get the catalog bak into the main library.
    I can open the catalog on its own in  Lightroom, just when I try and import the catalog  I get the bellow message.
    I’ve tried importing saving to a new location
    Importing not moving the files
    Lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error.
    I see others have had similar problems however do not see a clear answer.
    Has anybody a solution?
    Thanks Patrick

    I'm having this issue as well, and honestly I've *never* been able to get "import from catalog" to work. In my case I have a catalog created on my Windows 7 laptop in LR3.5. I've copied it to an external drive, plugged it into my PC running Windows 7 with LR3.5. And I get the "could not import this catalog because of an unknown error" message.
    I've confirmed every image in the catalog I am trying to import is accounted for and isn't "missing". There are no duplicate images between the exported catalog and the one I'm trying to import in.
    Thoughts?

  • ITunes could not backup the ipad .. because not enough freespace is available on this computer

    I have been using ITunes for years and reliably backing up my iPad 3 to it under ios 5 without a problem, on an iMac running OSX 10.6.8
    After updating to ios 6 all attempts to sync (backup) my iPad to iTunes cause iTunes to fail with 'iTunes could not backup the ipad <name> because not enough freespace is available on this computer'
    There is approx 25Gb used on my 64Gb iPad. There is 125Gb free on my iMac hard disc. My iPhone (ios6) and iPod Touch both back up successfully.
    I have tried deleting old backup files, repairing permissions, rebooting iMac and IPad, syncing over wifi and USB, encrypted and unencrypted but in all cases the back seems to run fine, then gets to the 'applying...; stage and fails with the above message. It has to be a bug doesn't it :-)

    OK I managed to free up more space on my iMac HD to 148Gb. The sync and backup then ran OK! Afterwards there was still about 144Gb free. So it would seem that in order to create an about 5Gb backup file there needs to be about 30 times as much free space on the mac. This can't be right surely?
