What can I do about an error (-69)?

  I'm so frustrated!
  I added a song to iTunes a night previous to this incident, but I did not sync my iPod at that time. I also updated iTunes that same night.
  Later the next day, I plugged in my iPod and I got an error screen on iTunes. It said the iPod was corrupted. I have delt with that before, so it didn't seem like a big deal. I ejected the iPod and to my horror EVERYTHING on my iPod was gone. I did not restore or reset the iPod, I simply ejected it after deciding to sync it later. I've tried re-installing iTunes/repairing iTunes. I even re-installed Quicktime. I have also restored my iPod many times since.
  Nothing seems to be working. I don't feel any of my music files are damaged and I don't want to go though unchecking and checking boxes for 11,000+ songs only to not have some of those songs on my iPod. Is there anything I can do to get my iPod working like it was? It is a 160GB iPod Classic. I also have an 80GB Classic which I tried syncing with iTunes with little success.
  As of today, I downgraded iTunes to 10.7 and it seems to be helping but I keep getting this error.
Edit: Before I installed the older version of iTunes, I also got the error message; "iPod cannot be synced duplicate file name was specified."

See if you can download it as a previous purchase in iTunes on your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), then sync it to your phone.

  • What Can I Do About This Error?

    I have 2 form programs. The first program is the main menu. The user pushes a
    button and the program transfers control to a second form program. On this second screen, the user enters an SSAN. At the bottom of the screen there is a
    message which says:
    'Enter a query: press F8 to execute, Ctrl + q to cancel'
    I press F8 and get the error message:
    FRM-41050: YOU CANNOT UPDATE THIS RECORD.
    I know that I am attempting to update a record on a block that does not allow
    updates. I also know that I should not update records in this block until I have
    set the UPDATE ALLOWED BLOCK PROPERTY TO TRUE.
    However I have said:
    SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('NCOER',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
    and I still get the error message:
    FRM-41050: YOU CANNOT UPDATE THIS RECORD.
    What can I do to get around this error?

    I presume that your Form is in CHANGED mode and when you go to second screen and enter SSAN and press F8, then it will give you the error "YOU CANT UPDATE RECORD".
    Before pressing F8 you need to go into enter_query mode and then do the query.
    Please mark the answer if it helps

    We got this same error with increasing frequency until it was happening all the time. Increasing the values of
    -Xms and -Xmx in the iasenv.ksh script seems to have completly eliminated the problem. It seems that when the jdk runs out of memory it will throw a Java lang OutofMemory error (which you will never see in the logs) followed by the SIGBUS error. Be careful with these settings they can severely affect the performance of the server you might try turrning on verbose:gc in order to watch memory usage.

    When I click to open Firefox, A box open with the following error:

    After I click close on the box, then Firefox will start. I really just want to get the error fixed so that when I want firefox open, I don't have to see this box anymore.

    You need to figure out which add-on is causing that error and disable it until the developer of that add-on fixes it. There may be an error message about that in the Error Console, accessed through the Web Developer menu item or through {Ctrl + Shft + J}.

    This is asked at least 5-6 times a day here.
    Look at the right hand column.. more like this.
    It is a bug in Mountain Lion.
    Read C12 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    But the fast solution.. unplug the TC.. count to 10.. plug it back in.

  • TS3297 What can I do about error 42408?

    What can I do about error 42408? I can't download my purchased and matched music from the store.

    Ruleo,
    It is common to have a reading on a disconnected channel. Generally speaking for measurement devices, un-connected voltage inputs tend to float around to either the positive or negative supply rail of the measuring device and current inputs will float around the 0 mA range. This is due both to device design and the real world behavior of components as opposed to the ideal behavior model. Some devices such as the FP-TC-120, will have circuitry to cause un-connected outputs to go to a specific level (in the case of the FP-TC-120, unconnected outputs will always read full scale of the range).
    When you say you are getting a reading on that channel, is it a reading that is close to mininum scale, or is it a reading in the middle of the
    scale, i.e. 10.2 mA? If the channel is not reading close to minimum scale, it is possible that the channel has been damaged. On the FP-AI-111, you can use a DMM to measure between the Iin pin and any of the C or Com pins. First disconnect any external wiring to the channel, then hook in the DMM. The resistance (within the accuracy of the DMM) should be exactly 100 Ohms. If the resistance is greater than 100 Ohms, then the channel was damaged by an over-current condition that exceeded the published specifications of the module (30 mA). In that case, the module will have to be sent to National Instruments for repair.

  • I got a notice saying either "Time Capsule is failing," or "Time Capsule Disks are failing". What does this mean? And what can I do about it?

    What does it mean when one gets a message that Time Capsule or its disks are failing?
    What can be done about it, if it's a reparable situation?

    Thanks for the info.
    I will look into buying a large external hard drive as an option. But given that I can't seem to back up anyway, is there another option other buying another Time Capsule? Do any of the external hard drives have embedded intelligence that allows them to work off my other router.
    This is the log file from my TC's last attempt at backing up:

    I'm getting an " application" cannot be downloaded at this time message. With any app I try to download/update. Why is this happening and what can I do about it ?

    I am fighting the same error. I gifted an album to mydaughter and she got that when she tried to cash it in. iTunes support was quick to respond saying the would refund in 5 to 7 days. That was 13 days ago and they will not respond now. Try to contact support to see if they can help. Also be sure you do not have restrictions enabled in settings. If your parental controls are set to block certian content ratings this will give you an error as well.
      You could also try to purchacs through the iTunes program on Mac or PC. Check your restrictions there too. If your device is company owned your employers may have restrictions enabled preventing certian apps from being installed. Hope that helps.

  • I forgot my passcode on my iPad and it was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this?

    I have forgotten my passcode on my iPad. It was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this and if it at all possible without losing everything that was on it. Thanks for the help.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
