I am having the same problem. My declares that it is Uknown Error (-48). I don't know if that number would help, but I have about 30 gigs of music, and 20 gigs of videos on my 60-gig ipod and I don't have any of the stuff on my computer any more. Is there anyway to save it without losing my music?

My iPod says "cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found. Always when half way through a sync. It also shows apple logo when I try to access photos and I think the issues are linked. Any ideas?

It means you try to sync an amount of content to your iPod Mini that exceeds for 4 GB, or the amount of space that is available on the iPod. See this article for more details.

Help! My ipod keeps forwarding through my tunes but wont play any music!!

Hello all, I am hoping that someone can shed some light on this problem.
I was in the gym, litening to my ipod and went to forward a song then it just started to forward though the lot and wont play any songs!!

That happened to my iPod. Have you tried either restarting your iPod nano or so hold the menu and the select button down until the apple logo appears. Or go to your menu, and let it scroll through all of the songs on your iPod and after that it should be fine. Thats what I did for mine. I hope this works!

Ipod Touch 4th Generation won't put the music on my ipod that I just bought. It says to have synced and it's in my music folder, but it isn't on my ipod?

I have a new Ipod that I received for Christmas and a Toshiba computer that is only 2 years old. Ipod says it is syncing, and I have new version of itunes but no music transfers from my computer to ipod?

Can anyone help with this? I am on my second ipod. First one was generation 3 and this of course is gen. 7.

BTW. . .yes, I have tried everything on the troubleshooter link.

While using my ipod it suddenly went black and now wont answer any of the buttons or be recognized on my computer. what happened?

problem solved. press the home button and the off button together for 10 seconds and it will reboot the system

Try a reset; it's important you see the Apple Logo.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

I just tried to jailbreak my ipod touch 4g and now it wont play any music? how do i fix this?

I just tried to jailbreak my ipod and it wouldnt work so i just ended the whole thing and it erased all my photos and it wont play any music. How do i fix this?

The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

When I plug in my ipod it comes up with an error saying, "ipod "Skye" cannot be synced, duplicate file name specified." it wont let me put any songs on my ipod? Help!

my computer deleted all of my songs off my ipod one time with i unplugged it, i think i unplugged it too soon and it wasn't finished ejecting. now every time i plug it in it gives me an error saying "the ipod 'Skye' cannot be synced, a duplicate file name was specified." It wont let me put any songs on my ipod now.

Never mind. I found out how to fix the problem
- Go to "Computer"
- Right click on your IPod icon
- Click "Properties"
- Go to the "Tools" tab
- Under "Error -checking" cilck the "Check now..." button
After doing all of that, ITunes now works like normal for me.

My ipod touch say cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the library but I have 10 gb of space left

My ipod touch shows 10.1 gb of memory, but when I try to transfer a movie from my computer to ipod touch I get a error message that says "Cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the itunes library, additional 5.81 gb required.
I have had as many as 3-4 movies on here plus my music and had no problem, there are no other movies on my ipod. Wasssup??? I am 66 years old, can build a house or a car engine, but for the life of me I don't understand this stuff....Help!!

Unless the move is about 16 GB, you are trying to sync more that the movie to your iPod. I would look carefull at awhat is checked to sync to the iPod.
Also how big is the "other" category as shown in the colored bargraph in iTunes?

My ipad will not sync or back-up and thus cannot install OS5, it starts fine, but then says "cannot verify applications" and stops sync. Can someone help me?

my ipad will not sync or back-up and thus cannot install OS5, it starts fine, but then says "cannot verify applications" and stops sync. Can someone help me?

going to "transfer purchases' does work - however the thermometer bar at the bottom reflecting apps, music, video, book, etc cpapcity fraks out, sliding left to right maybe 4 or 5 times during the process. Have you ever seen this?
After it is finished, the SYNC button is not longer darkened - so I thought it was safe to attampt an upgrade to OS05... which i am doing now... takes maybe 20 mins and then I normally get the error "the applications on this ipad cannot be verified" and the bottom thermometer bar zeros out all by my music. The content and apps are all fine on teh ipad. so strange. I made an appointment with customer service tomrrow AM - but i do not think i should have to pay for this - i have never even used support before!
I will update if it works - or re[eats the strange pattern again and does not update.
Thanks for your time and help!

IPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library

Hi, I have just transferred my whole iTunes library from my old computer to my new one and am trying to sync my iPod to the new one. However I get an error message saying "iPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library (additional 5.38GB required). I currently have 8.5GB free on my iPod so I don't understand why it cannot sync.

Hey Georgiarose94, If what's going on, is what I think it is, when you sync the information it's over written, it can take 2 to 3 times more space the get the info on your iPod, once it's there the info only occupies the space it needs. Kind if of like moving, when you first step in the room with boxes of stuff there's no room. But after you get everything put away all is well. If you haven't already, connect your iPod to your computer, from your iPod Summary page, go down to Options and check reduce bit rate to (select 128 kbps). (Wording maybe a little different). Will greatly reduce memory space needed on your iPod, and you really do not hear the difference in sound quality. Other option, go to music and select manual so you can pick which music you place on the iPod. You need to reduce by 5.38GB of information to finish your download. Hope this helps. Cheers.
