3GS Error Message: Some of the items were not copied. Error -50.

Here are the details:
Trying to sync iPhone 3GS running IOS 4.1 with iTunes 10.0.1. on SL 10.6.4.
The error message I get is:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Nostradormouse {and 6 other iBooks}", were not copied to the iPhone "sgunes's iPhone" because you are not authorized for them on this computer." And then it states to authorize this computer.
I then authorize it and get the "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50). The was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
No matter how often I try I get the same error message.
When I try to update free app updates I get the same error:
"Could not purchase"". An unknown error occurred (-50).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
Apple Tech support was clueless.

Try playing one of the problem tracks in iTunes. If it is not authorized, iTunes should invite you to do so.
Tracks will not transfer to your iPod if they are not authorized.
If you have trouble getting your tracks authorized, there is an Apple help that includes a email form for contacting Customer Service:

  • "Some of the items were not copied/file not found..." when syncing

    Every since about a month or so ago, everytime I connect my iPod (or iPhone) to itunes, it does the auto-sync, and after every sync, I keep getting the message:
    "Some of the items in the itunes library, including ..., were not copied because they could not be found"
    This started out with about 10 'errors' and now today, there were 46 total problems (songs). I have done absolutely nothing to delete any of these songs. When I look in my itunes library, there is now an " ! " to the left of the song, and if I click and try to play the song it says the original file could not be found. This is happening to more and more of my songs, pretty soon I'm not going to have a library left! Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

    I have had the same problem. Although I accept that performing the remedy suggested helps in the short term I fail to see how that addresses the underlying problem. I have a new 80GB 5th Generation iPod. I have over 6000 pieces on it and initially I had 4-5 items that wouldn't syn even though they were both on the iPod and the HD of the computer. I corrected the items as suggested and then a few days later like you I had over 100items not syncing. Not only will it take over an hour to manually find the so-called missing files and replace them but I'm concerned that in a week's time it will be a different hundred. Any other suggestions.
    The missing files can all still be found in iTunes Library but for some reason the software is not opening them. Any further guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Syncing Fails with iPod Video - Some of the items were not copied

    When I try to sync my iPod Video, I get this message displayed in iTunes 7.5:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes Library, including "NPR ...." were not copied because they could not be found".
    Well I don't even see these two podcasts in question listed in my Itunes Podcasts List. To make matters worse, the two particular NPR podcasts are no longer being listed for download by iTunes.
    Is my ITunes Library corrupt?
    Do I need to rebuild my iTunes Library (via the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 )?

    I rebuilt the Itunes Library using these instructions --
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    That fixed the problem. The only thing it does not tell you is that you must re-subscribe to all your podcasts.

  • Error Syncing: Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied

    I'm getting this error message: *+Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because they could not be found; I've got over 100 of these when I look at the list.+* How do I clean this up?

    for the avoidance of doubt, these files could not physically be on an external disk which isn't connected ? or could you have deleted the actual files from the iTunes music folder via explorer ?
    what about the main iTunes music library ? do the files have a "!" next to them ? do you get a +*would you like to locate+* warning when you try to play them in iTunes ?

    Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

  • Some items were not copied because software is too old

    I've updated to 7.0.2 and finally decided to brave the waters and sync my iPod--I've been too chicken to sync it at all since 7.0 came out and all of the issues began appearing.
    Of course, when I plugged in the iPod, it asked if I wanted to update & install or "download only". I chose to download only so that I could install it later (hoping maybe another firmware would come out before I do). My iPod was still able to sync--which I wasn't sure it would. However, after it finished I received the following message:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod "Michelle's iPod" because your iPod software is too old. Go the to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Update to get the latest iPod software update."
    I checked my item counts between iTunes and the iPod--there were 35 "music" items that didn't sync and 110 podcasts that didn't sync. This is out of the 500 or so items that the progress window said it was trying to sync from the beginning.
    It would sort of make sense if it refused to sync ANYTHING that I had added since before 7.0. But why would it sync some, but not others? None of it is "purchased" from the iTunes Store. It's all either imported CD's, downloaded podcasts, or simply "updated" old items (those whose play count or last played date had changed--or possibly new album art).
    Any idea how to figure out the logic behind which items it WILL sync with "old" software and which items it will not?
    Maybe I'll be forced to try updating to 1.2 after all! I was really hoping to wait since it sounds like many of the current issues are iPod firmware related instead of iTunes related.
    Any ideas?

    The error 48 comes up when syncing. I think I have a fair idea now that there is a problem when attempting to sync contacts or anything else. Initially when setting up the iPod from scratch the iTunes capacity window for the iPod shows audio, other and free space. The other I believe is the essential system software plus the calenders, contacts and notes folders. On set up all files transfer. Every single time when I have clicked on the pane to allow contacts syncing problems begin. The other capacity disappears leaving audio and free space. Syncing is attempted by iTunes but it gives up and the error message 48 appears unable to update.
    My solution so far is to disable all syncing when setting the iPod up and dragging files over. Not ideal but it seems to work fingers crossed.

    Were some of the songs purchased from a different itunes account?

  • I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019).

    I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019). I am trying to put albums on to my ipod by dragging and dropping. I have it set to manually manage music and videos. The albums appear in the music section under Devices, but they don't appear on my actual ipod.
    I have never had any problems doing this before, only in the last few days.

    I am having the exact same issue as you are with my iPod nano. This started happening the same day after I updated the iPod software, so I wonder if it is a bug within the software that Apple needs to resolve. I dragged 3 playlists of new music from my iTunes over to my iPod and sometime while it was trying to add those songs, the error 13019 popped up. Another note, which may not be related at all, was that iTunes told me at some point during this process (I believe before the error notification, but I'm not sure and that may be helpful to know) that I did not have enough room on the iPod to copy all of the songs, but it would copy as many as it could. What is curious, like in your situation, is now all the songs it supposedly copied appear to be on the iPod under the Device->iPod->Music label in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer, the playlists in question are also showing up there, and it does indeed say my memory is full under the iPod's general tab in iTunes. However, when going through my actual iPod when it is not plugged in, none of those songs or playlists are anywhere to be found.
    Anyways, all the established solutions to the 13019 error do not apply to this situation, as my iPod has always been set to manually managed so "unchecking" the Sync Music option under the Music tab of the iPod and rechecking it will not work because it was never checked in the first place.  And voice memos are obviously not applicable since we are not talking about an iPhone failing to sync music.
    Unless anyone can provide a new solution here, I may just have to take my computer and iPod up to the genius bar. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store> Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
    If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
    Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

  • I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

    I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
    Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

    1
    Close all iWork applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
    5
    Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install
