When I attempt to sync my iPod with iTunes, "iTunes could not copy "songname" to the iPod because an unknown error occurred (-69)" HELP!!

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.

    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.

    Syncing my 6th generation Ipod Classic, I get loads of the same message, "Itunes could not copy songs into ipod due to error -50". The syncing then completes with only 15gb used space and 143 gb space free.
    What can I do to correct this error, please?

  • "itunes could not copy song to the ipod because the file could not be converted."

    Hello.  I'm using iTunes 10.6 and trying to sync an iPod Classic 120GB with Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I keep getting the error "itunes could not copy 3 songs to the ipod because the file could not be converted."   All three songs are AAC, 256kbps. I didn't have this problem with these songs a couple days ago until I decided to convert all 256kbps songs to 128kbps to fit on my 120Gb iPod.  iTunes, nor my iPod haven't updated during this time.  Any suggestions?

    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

    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.

  • TS2830 Sync for IPod Touch quit working and I get error messages "a session could not be started" and "a connection could not be established" although the IPod appears in ITunes.

    This is a new problem for an IPod Touch  I have had for a year.  The IPod is hooked up by cable and appears in ITunes. I can examine all the content on the IPOD  and I can click "sync".  It goes through to Step 7 and then the error messages occur.  First "a session could not be started with the IPod" and when that dialogue box is closed, the message "a connection could not be established to the IPod."

  • IPod won't sync - "Itunes could not copy (name of song) to the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-53)"

    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?

  • TS1463 Itunes could not copy (name of song) To the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-50)

    Itunes could not copy (name of song) To the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-50)

    I had this problem with a new album I downloaded this week from Amazon. It looks like they changed their cloud player download functionality within the last few weeks.
    I previously tried the steps listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
    I had also tried Windows Updates and a few other suggestions I found on this topic and nothing had worked.
    In iTunes, when I right-click on the track to "Get Info," I noticed it lists WHERE at the bottom of the Summary tab to show where the file is located. It said the file was located in \\?\C:\mp3\... Amazon automatically downloads my mp3's to this directory and imports them to iTunes. I assumed there was something wrong with the mapping, due to the \\?\.
    If you notice your files are not mapped to a valid location:
    Highlight the affected tracks and press the <Delete> key on your keyboard.
    Select the Remove option when prompted to remove the files from your Library. Take care to Keep Files if prompted so you don't completely remove them from your computer.
    Locate the files on your computer and drag them to import back into iTunes. If you check the location mapping in Get Info, the directory should now be valid.
    I think the USB workaround above might resolve this issue, but this probably helps to explain that the files locations weren't referenced in iTunes correctly in the first place.

  • Issue with Windows Photo Viewer: "can't save picture because an unknown error occured"

    Hi,
    I recently installed Windows 7 RC (Build 7100). I quite often have an issue in Windows Photo Viewer when rotating an image and trying to go to the next picture. It gives me the error "Windows Photo Viewer can't save picture because an unknown error occured".
    Seperate from this issue: when I delete a picture in Windows Photo Viewer, it is still in the Windows Explorer overview of files. This did not use to be the case in Windows XP?
    Kind regards,
    Frederik

    Hi
    SOSv2 ,
    This should be fixed in Windows 7 RTM.
    Also, you can install Windows Live Photo Gallery to view and rotate pictures as well. To download it, please click

    In addition, please understand that Nikon RAW images (and most Canon) do not support rotate functionality in Windows Photo Viewer, and thus rotate is
    disabled. To rotate those types of images, the user will need to use an image editing program that fully supports their RAW codec.
    Regards,

    I am using Win 7 x64 Ultimate RTM and still have this problem (with JPG's dumped from my Nikon to the hard drive).  Doesn't do it on every one that I rotate, but still very annoying.  Is there a fix?

    "iPod software update server could not be contacted. The Server does not support this version of iTunes." iPod will not turn on or charge or reset settings. I tried plugging it in my laptop, house computer and docking station to charge and nothing. Also, I have all the latest software updates to my knowledge. This is a classic 8GB iPod, running of Windows 7. Any thoughts/suggestions?
