I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50). I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?
Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again

ITunes could not copy [song title] because an unknown error occurred (-54)
For the past month or so I've been unable to sync it with iTunes. When I do, it starts but after a few hundred songs, I get the error that "itunes could not copy [song title] because an unknown error occurred (-54). When I click OK, it then says "synching" but nothing is actually happening, and the only way to even get my browser working again is to restart my pc. I have deleted the song in question, but it will just do it again with a different song. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes to the most recent version, reset the iPod Touch numerous times, As well as deleting the iTunes files off of my computer and reloading all the muisc to it. To make things more interesting, it does all of this on my laptop pc as well as my desktop. Now. all of this may have started before upgrading the software, but that was the last time in months that I tried to sync it, so there may or not be a correlatoin there.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.Try:

TS3694 Error message "Itune could not copy 'song' because of an unknown error occured"??
I purchased a couple of albums from Amazon and downloaded to Itunes. I have done this many times in the past. I can play the songs on Itunes but when I try to upload that music to my Ipod I get an error message "Itunes could not copy "song" to the Ipod because of an unknown error has occured. I have purchased many albums and songs from Amazon and even the Apple store and never had this problem. Has anyone had this happened and was there a fix to be able to upload the music to the Ipod??? Any help would be much appreciated!!

Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message……. iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.
I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems. -
Itunes could not copy 'song' to the ipod 'name ipod' because of an unknown error occurred (-5000)
Itunes could not copy 'song' to the ipod 'name ipod' because of an unknown error occurred (-5000)
This problem does seem pretty random, affecting just a small number of tracks. Apparently it is due to some file corruption or something... Anyway, this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2654317?start=15&tstart=0 has a couple of solutions spelled out. Basically the same thing that a-monk-at-large suggested above. (Delete and redownload the offending tracks.)

ITunes could not copy "Song Name" to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (-50)
Recently when I tried syching one of my playlists into my iPhone 4 (Running on 5.1) using iTunes 11.2.0.26 for Windows (Windows XP SP3), I have been having a problem with some songs I acquired recently. It will sync all the other songs, but when it reaches the song in question, the following error message pops up:
"iTunes could not copy "Name of Song" to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (-50)"
After which, it stops synching songs altogether.
I tried TWO different USB connectors (BOTH from Apple), and the error still occurs. When I remove the song in question, ALL songs sync normally.
I used the 'Get Info' option to see if there was something in the way the song was coded. This info is from one of the songs that gets synched normally:
Kind: MPEG Audio file
Size: 11 MB
Bit Rate: 256 kbps
Sample Rate: 44.100 kHz
Date Modified: 12/20/2009 4:33 PM
Plays: 1
Last Played: 1/22/2010 8:40 PM
Format: MPEG-1, Layer 3
Channels: Stereo
ID3 Tag: v2.3
Encoded with: LAME
THIS is the info on the problematic song:
Kind: MPEG Audio file
Size: 8.2 MB
Bit Rate: 256 kbps
Sample Rate: 44.100 kHz
Date Modified: 5/1/2013 6:12 PM
Plays: 1
Last Played: 5/3/2013 8:40 PM
Format: MPEG-1, Layer 3
Channels: Joint Stereo
ID3 Tag: v2.3
Encoded with: LAME3.96
By the way, BOTH song (The ones synching normally, and this unsynching song), where purchased and downloaded from Amazon.com.
ANY information that will help me solved this problem will be VERY appreciated. Likewise, if you need any additional information, please let me know...
Thanks for your time.Try going through other threads on topic

ITunes could not copy "" to the iPhone "" because an unknown error occorred (-50).
This is a very annoying problem. I've followed everything by the books and cannot figure it out.
I'm getting the warning iTunes could not copy "[Song Name]" to the iPhone "[Phone Name]" because an unknown error occorred (-50) and don't know what to do. I've followed Apple's guildline - http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1539 - of uninstalling, reinstalling, reregistering .dll files, restoring the phone, updating the phone, making sure the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" option was not checked, etc. Does any body have any idea what the issue is here? I just did all of this after updating iTunes to 10.4 and my iPhone 4 to 4.3.4 and am running Windows XP. I've had the issue for about 3 weeks - it occured both after reformatting my PC's hard drive and installing iTunes 10.3 (I know others had issues with 10.3). ANY help would be amazing. Thank you!Hey Edward,
This is most likely a USB speed or connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a USB 2.0 port.
To find out if your computer has USB 2.0, enter your computers serial number on this web page: http://support.apple.com/specs/

When I attempt to sync my iPod with iTunes, "iTunes could not copy "songname" to the iPod because an unknown error occurred (-69)" appears, I have attempted to restore my iPod settings but this doesn't help at all. This only happened after I installed the latest update of iTunes.

Get the following error when trying to sync itunes to Nano itunes could not coppy " Song" to the ipod because unknown error occurred (-5000). Any ideas?
Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

I recently bought a used iPod Classic (my previous one was stolen). I still had my iTunes library on my computer so I was just going to hook it up and sync my library over, replacing what was on there from the previous user. When I first hooked it up to my computer (Windows 7 64-bit) there was a message saying the drivers were not installed properly. I un-plugged it, and plugged it back in to the same result. I tried 1 more time and didn't get the error message. I then opened iTunes and clicked on the iPod. I checked for updates, then clicked "Restore this iPod". Next, I set it up to sync music, and the sync began. It seemed to work for a while, the "Syncing iPod" message was displayed at the top, and it said it was copying songs over. It did this for about 10 minutes before I finally got the following message:
"Itunes could not copy (name of song) to the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-53)"
After that happens, everything seems to freeze up. iTunes says it's still syncing, but nothing ever seems to happen. If I click the eject button, nothing happens either. I eventually have to just disconnect the iPod. The iPod seems frozen for a while, then it seems to reboot itself (the gray apple window displays), then the interface displays and I can get to the songs on there. But, only a very small portion of my library makes it to the iPod. I've tried several times now and it always seems to be the same songs that DO make it onto the iPod. However, it's a different song listed in the error message each time, so it doesn't seem to be just 1 song causing the problem. Also, once I hook the iPod back to the computer, Windows displays a message prompting me to scan the drive and fix errors. I did it once and it said it found some errors and fixed them.
I saw this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3924425
and some people were suggesting removing everything from your library then re-adding it, in case the paths were messed up. I tried that and still got the same results. I also updated iTunes to the latest version, and I've tried different USB ports and 2 different USB cables.
I also found instructions for a batch file you can run that, I believe, updates the iTuens DLLs, I did that as well but it did not help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
What else can I try to fix this?bump (if that's allowed)

purchased a song from iTunes, i tried to transfer it to my itouch, but i received an error "iTunes could not copy because the file could not be converted". how do i convert the song (well, i thought it will automatically be converted)?
Problem Fixed:
Remove the song from your itunes library, then go to the itunes store and try to download it again. It will say something like "this song has already been purchased, would you like to download it again for free?". Click yes, and it will download again. This worked for me, hope it helped -
