Why is there an "unknown error" when I try to sync photos?

When I try to sync photos into my fifth generation 60 GB iPod, it always comes up with a message "The iPod,"Lin's iPod" cannot be updated. An unknown error has occurred(-50)." It sometimes shows a message saying," The iPod,"Lin's iPod" cannot be updated. The disk cannot be read from or written to. I've read the manual about "Disk cannot be read from or written to", but the steps don't work for me. What should I do?

see if this helps

  • Why do I get unknown error when I try to add to my iCloud storage

    Why do I get unknown error when I try and add storage to iCloud account ? I have funds in account but I do not have a credit card # on file.

    This didn't solve it for me. Card details already there, and iTunes purchases working fine.
    But just to be sure I' have re-entered and resaved my card info and checked, re-entered and re-checked my appleID info.
    Still not working.
    Anyone got any other suggestions?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign back in.

  • "unknown error" when I try to update my ipad

    I get an "unknown error" when I try to update my ipad... no problem signing on at the website from a desktop, but can't update any programs or purchase any new ones in the apple store.

    Go to Settings>Store >Apple ID, tap your ID and sign out. Then reboot the iPad, Reboot 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.
    Then go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if the apps will update.

  • Why do I keep getting an error when I try to sync my phone with iTunes?  It says I don't have enough privileges.

    Why do I keep getting an error when I try to sync to iTunes? The error says "you don't have enough privileges?"

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Get file not found error when I try to sync

    I get file not found error when I try to sync Iphone.

    SteveDVD,
    The use of the .WMV was because that was part of the Library .EM template. I would not anticipate problems with other formats, so long as they are supported and the same for all of your Menus in the Project.
    If you have done several Motion Menu Renderings, you might want to clear Encore's Media Cache, just in case it is still referencing previous Render files.
    And yes, the re-Importation should yield the same result as Linking/re-Linking.
    Unfortunately, I do not have CS4, so I can't test this for you. There do seem to be a few real Bugs in the various CS4 programs, and maybe this is one?
    That "File Not Found" rings a bell in my feeble brain. Seems that there was a post on that, but I do not remember it being related to Motion Menus. Maybe search will yield something of use.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Why is ITunes crashing when I try to sync photos from computer to Ipad?  I am using latest IOS 7.0.2 and latest ITunes 11.1.1.  Running Mac Pro with 10.6.8

    I Tunes crashes when I try to sync photos (via USB cable provided with Ipad)  from computer to Ipad.  It worked fine before I downloaded the newest ITunes update.  I tried downloading the update again but it still crashed.

    My iTunes keeps crashing when I try to sync my iPhone as well as when I try downloading the newest iPhone upgrade 2.2.1. I just tried to restore my iPhone and once again iTunes crashed (at around 224MB into the download of the upgrade).
    I've restarted my iPhone.
    Restarted my iMac.
    Re-installing iTunes.
    Tried installing iTunes 8.0.1 (instead of 8.0.2).
    Created a new user to check if that was the problem.
    All with no success.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder.  When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

    When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library.  When I hit "apply" I got this message:
    Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
    (By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
    Thanks for your help - Pat

    I have the same problem.  I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad -  clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad.  WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

  • I get a message that itunes has stopped working when I try to sync photos

    Can anyone help? Thanks.

  • Since upgrading to Aperture 3.3, when I try to sync photos to my iPhone, I'm getting all versions in a stack loading onto my phone, which makes for some ugly pics, as well as taking up nearly double the space.

    Since upgrading to Aperture 3.3, when I try to sync photos to my iPhone, I'm getting all versions in a stack loading onto my phone, which makes for some ugly pics, as well as taking up nearly double the space.

    Could it be the problem lies with iTunes and not Aperture?  iTunes 10.6.3 was released on the same day as Aperture 3.3 --  June 11.
    If someone has a configuration to test an older version of Aperture with iTunes 10.6.3 to see if the problem exists, that could be helpful.

  • When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes,  the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

    When i try to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPad using iTunes,  the "Selected Folders" option is greyed out with only the "All Folders" option available, how do i change this?

    I add the keyword 'sync' to any photos I want added to the iPhone/iPad.
    Then, during the regular process of syncing the iPhone/iPad with my computer (mac), the photos with that keyword would be copied onto the iPhone, iPad.
    I've been doing it this way ever since I was shown how to; ie after I got my iPhone 2 years ago. And every time the process worked - until the last few weeks. Suddenly it doesn't do it any more.
    I believe I have upgraded software (either iTunes or iPhoto or both) during this period. I try to keep my software updated but have noticed previously that the new version often is disappointing.
    I've not tended to use Smart albums much.
