What does "The iPod "Buttons" could not be synced...." mean?

Everytime i plug my iPod in to my computer this warning comes up:
"The iPod “Buttons” could not be synced. The required file is in use."
(Yes my iPod IS called Buttons, sad I know).
What does this mean, does it mean that it isn't updating it?
Does anyone know how I can get rid of this warning?
Or make sure my iPod 'is not in use' when I try to update/sync it?
1.9Ghz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   30GB iPod video

Update means going from ver. 1.0 to 1.0.1, which is why my App Store app reflects that I have an update.
Tried about 15 times after doing various things such as correcting permissions and reinstalling the 10.7.3 combo update.

  • ITunes error message (-50) The iPod "[name]" could not be synced...

    To clarify the message
    -50 The iPod "[name]" could not be synced. An unknown error has occured
    This happens to me all the time AFTER I sync all data onto my iPod. Everything syncs on it, and then at the end, it displays the error. Even though all data is on it. This just happened now that I updated iTunes to 8.2 and put the iPhone OS 3.0 (iPod version) on my touch

    13019 appears to be related to Voice Memos. Remove (don't delete) all the voice memos then reimport them (they'll be in a "Voice Memos" folder in your "iTunes Music" folder) and you should be in the clear.

  • HT4059 what does the red light and 'not in store' mean

    What does the red light in manage my books mean? And what does 'not in store mean'?

    Hello Simon,
    I believe you have two unrelated problems. The red light is only associated with the digital audio port and indicates the "mute" switch inside the jack that turns off the built-in speakers when phones are in use has jammed in the mute position. No way it should affect your ability to start the computer. That has to be something else.
    Does your computer give the normal startup chime sounds when you turn it on?
    If you are getting the normal startup chime and have a wired keyboard, boot while pressing the SHIFT key. Keep holding the SHIFT key until you get a desktop, then let go the key. At this point, do not try to do any work with the computer but rather see if it will restart normally (without holding any keys or key combos).

  • I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location.  Select the location of your on external hard drive.

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. in that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Welcome!
    You have installed Trusteer's Rapport software that many banks recommend, unware that it is poison to Safari. The developer keeps working on it but, so far, we don't seem to have a stable version that doesn't cause more problems than it fixes.

  • HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    "Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    iMessages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Music library database index (but not the music itself)
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
    If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
    Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.

    You could repair disk and permissions,  but I suspect a corrupt OS X.  I would reinstall the operating system.

  • Sync problems with iOS5. "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."

    Hi,
    I have updated my iPhone 3GS 32GB to iOS5 and iTunes to version 10.5.
    All music, videos and ringtones purchased were deleted on the device and now it is impossible at all to sync the iPhone with the computer, both by USB and Wi Fi.
    It always appears at step 5 of the syncronization the message:
        "The iPhone “iPhone” could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish."
    Has anyone experienced the same problem and has found the solution or we have to wait a bug fix from Apple?
    Thanks.

    Just made one very simple move without having to restore iPhone or reinstall iTunes..
    1st step:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 *Read 'in my case' in here first before following this link*
    Follow that link to restart (or if necessary) reinstall your Apple mobile device support.
    In my case, Leave iPhone connected all the way. I first exit iTunes. Then i stopped the Apple Mobile device support (by following a part on that link above in step 1) which Effectively made my iPhone undetectable on itunes but discoverable by windows as a 'camera device'. Then while device is still connected, i started the Apple mobile dev support again. Now i open itunes and there my iPhone re-appears.
    2nd step: After your iphone re-appears on iTunes, press Sync and all is well...
    P.S, Mine is iPhone 4 running on iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, Windows 7..
