30GB wont accept songs/videos, unknown error (-69)

ok so i recently have had this problem w/ my iPod; It will load some songs but then it'll make a weird noise, and then i get the unknown error (-69). I was reading some forums and people said it may be the song(s). I uploaded the same exact songs to my mom's nano w/o any problems. My iPod wont accept any movies; it shows it transferring, gets maybe about 1/2way through, then same error code pops up. I am totally lost what to do so any help will be appreciated.

I am also having the same problem. When i try to sync it will sing for so long then give me that message. I tried using that atricle and it didn't help at all. I tried doing what they said in the article but it was bs because I restored the ipod a couple times in the process of trying to get it to work and sometimes it would sync a song sometimes it would stop at it or before it, so it doesn't make sense. Also, all the songs in my library were on my ipod before, so thats probably a pretty good sign none of them are corrupt. This is driving me crazy! Someone please help.

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

  • Unable to restore my 5th gen ipod video (unknown error 1418)

    going through, listening to a regular album on my ipod speakers, as i usually do, my ipod just abruptly freezes after the end of one song. upon reseting, i was presented with the apple logo upon a black background, as usual, and then a white screen saying "connect to your computer. use itunes to restore." in four different languages. from there it switches itself off. when i try to turn it back on, it does the same.
    i connected it to the computer to do as it suggested, where it proceeds to freeze my computer for up to 10 minutes, until the ipod does appear in itunes. when i try to restore it however, im presented with an error stating 'an unknown error has occurred. error 1418', or something to that effect.
    so following the apple website's instructions, i updated itunes to 7.6, and tried again to no avail. i tried a different usb port, reregistered .dll files, and updated my windows USB drivers, but this has changed nothing.
    can anybody suggest any other factors that are stopping me restoring. i have accepted the fact that i will need to restore it, its just a matter of now completing that task.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    One possible cause is a drive conflict...
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

    Note the seventh symptom where it keeps needing to be restored.

    What is the Brand/Model/Settings for the camera that recorded this video? Any chance, MotionJPEG video compression?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? Are you running your program from a User Account with
    Administrative Privileges and also have applied Run As Administrator?

    Why should anyone help you if you cannot be bothered to clearly communicate the problem you are having?
    This is a user to user forum, no one here is going to do a darn thing to fix your problem.  That being said, we can offer suggestions on how to recitify the issue if you can be bothered to provide specifics of the problem.

  • An unknown error occurred (-42018)

    I upgraded my computer to Microsoft Vista. I am not getting the following error whenever I try to download a song - "An unknown error occurred (-42018)" I disconnected the firewall in Vista thinking that this might be the problem but it was not.

    Hey everybody,
    I also was experiencing the unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2.
    I run windows XP Pro but the problem may be the same. Unlike the majority of users I actually set up XP-Pro correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
    The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
    I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
    Good Luck,
    Bill

  • Using iTunes store I hv purchased 5 Video songs driectly on iPhone.I have paid $1.30 per song. Now I am not able to play those songs on iphone.I am getting error message "Unknown Error" If I do not connect any WiFi or 3G.

    With WiFi on,If I try to play it from Purchased item or from playlist..it says Request URL was not found on this server. But it can be played from videos option of OS5 on iPhone. When WiFi or 3G data services are off it gices error message- "Unknown Error". I have spent so much money and can't play my Video songs on iPhone without using networ.
    Please help.

    I am experiencing the same issue as dwarfland. I have a black 64GB iPhone 5s running iOS version 7.1.1 and a grandfathered unlimited data plan with AT&T. I have had an iTunes Match subscription pretty much since it was introduced. I currently have around 19500 songs in my music library and try to have only around 2000-2500 songs physically located on the phone itself (all of my "top-rated" songs in a single playlist). I have recently needed to re-download all these "top-rated" songs after I restored my phone from a backup, wiping all the songs from my phone. Thanks for posting your experiences, hopefully someone from Apple will notice and help us out with a solution.

  • Ipod can only sync about 10th of the songs and then encounter unknown error

    A bit of a back story:
    So the problem started when my ipod classic 160gb started going funny on me, jumping songs and skipping others when i used it. so i decided to restore it. however, since then whenever i try and sync songs back into it, it will freeze- every time on a different song- and say that it could not sync the songs, giving a variety of different issues and errors:
    "Itunes could not sync (name of song) to the ipod (ipod name) because the file cannot be read or written". alternatively, "...because an unknown error has occured (-50)".
    "windows was unable to save all the dad for the file F:, the data has been lost. this error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. please try to save this file elsewhere"
    and "The specified I/O operation on \Device\harddisk1\DR9\ was not completed before the time out period expired.",
    "The Ipod (name of ipod) could not be synced. a duplicate filename was specified" and a few other varieties of these messages
    I tried resetting the ipod,using different usb ports and plugs, restoring the ipod several times and reinstalling itunes but non helped..
    I tried this solution:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539 and the error-checking tool for windows
    but also of no help
    I then tried to add songs manually in chunks of about 100 and it worked until about 750 songs ish (out of 3,000), and then whatever song you try to add doesnt work....
    I also tried to add photos and movies but it looks like its all a matter of size, as in if any more then the music equvelent of movies or videos will be uploaded it wont work but any less it would
    any ideas?

    I also used the diagnostic mode to check the hard disc situations, as explained here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2623917&tstart=0
    and got the folllowing results:
    retracts:1
    reallocs: 5704
    pending sectors: 576
    powerOn hours: 55
    Start/Stops: 3976
    temp current: 25C
    Temp Min: 13C
    Temp Max: 53C
    so i think that means the hard drive is stuffed, which may explain the issue
    is there anything i can still do?

  • ITunes gives unknown error (-50) when syncing songs with iPhone

    I recently ripped a few mp3 files to my library and started up iTunes to sync them with my iPhone. If I recall correctly, this prompted me to upgrade to 9.2 of iTunes.
    Everything synced perfectly - apps, photos, excpet for the new songs I had ripped - I got the unknown error (-50) syncing the new songs. This puzzled me as I followed the exact same process as I had when ripping all the other songs in the library.
    I then removed an existing song from my iPhone, and tried the sync again, and now THAT song also failed to sync. Thus - it sure does not look like a problem with my mp3 files, but some sort of problem with iTunes.
    I found this article which was very similar, but ended up being only specific songs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1539
    I followed all the steps there, but have yet to achieve success. I have also followed every iTunes upgrade since I started - I am currently at 9.2.1.5.
    I also have an iPod Touch, and it experiences the same symptoms, thus once again pointing to iTunes not the device. I even went through the process of restoring my Touch to factory settings, and that did not help. I even upgraded my Touch to 4.0, still no change. With this restore to factory settings, all the music on my Touch was wiped out, and unfortunately now NONE of my songs sync - which includes the almost 300 other songs that were synced perfectly fine before I did the restore.
    After the restore - photos, videos, etc. all synced fine - it is just music that has this problem. I do not suspect my USB connection as a result (some of my videos are very large) I have over 10GB free on my 1 GB Touch, and much more than that on my 32 GB iPhone.
    I am really stuck here - everything else is working but I can not get any new songs, and I am afraid of doing too much more in case I lose the songs I already have.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
    Brent.

    I just wanted to add that I have updated to iTunes 10, and this problem still exists.

  • My purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message " an unknown error occurred -50" Itunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

    My Purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message: "an unknown error occurred -50". I tunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

    I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
    I went to Music, then Artists.
    From there I chose the album.
    The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
    I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
    (Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)
