4G Touch freezes when attempting to sync music.

When I attempt to synce music I then get the message "iTunes could not copy "Song Title" to the iPod "Dominic's iPod" because the file could not be written"  The symbol to the left of the message is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside.  After closing the error window, iTunes says "Syncing Dominic's iPod" Finishing sync, with the moving candy cane stripe.  Eventually that freezes too, then the message and strip go away and a final error window pops up. "The iPod "Dominic's iPod" could not be synced.  The device timed out."
I have already tried restoring the iPod to it's original settings and have redownloaded iTunes.
I tried with the Windows Task Manager open.  The status of iTunes goes fron "running" to "Not Responding" when the error message appears.  It goes bak to "running" after clicking OK on the "iTunes could not copy..." error window.  Then goes back to "not responding" when the candy cane stripes freezes.  And finally back to "running" then the device times out.
I am runnings Win 7 Pro 64 bit, iPod 4G (iOS 5.1.1), iTunes (10.6.3.25).  The music files are Apple Losless Audio File (m4a) and reside on a Synology DS211j NAS.  No settings on the home network have changed since my last succesful sync almost 3 weks ago.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dominic

Hit the Genius Bar this morning.  The iPod is fine.  The tech did a total reload of the firmware (about 10 minutes).  Then he told me to remove iTunes from the computer and reinstall.  He then told me if that didn't work to either call for support, or bring the PC and iPod in so they could look at them together.  I guess I'll be calling in when I have another day off and the kids are back in school after Labor Day.  The funny thing is, albums totally sync until I get the "can not write file" error.  Every album after that (alphabetial by artist) only syncs the first song with all others greyed out.

  • HT1692 iOS7 Calendar freezing when attempting to accept/decline/maybe a meeting request from Microsoft Outlook Exchange... (iPhone 5s)

    My iOS7 calendar on my iPhone 5s continually freezes when I attempt to accept/decline/maybe (respond in general) to any invitations that come through to the device... The main ones I get (so the ones I am experiencing the issue with) are from Microsoft Outlook Exchange Account (also synced through Mail app).
    I have attempted to go via the emails I receive with the invitation and the device freezes when attempting to action the request through the Mail app also.
    I'm hard reset the phone, I've removed and re-established the account in the phone, but nothing fixes the issue. It might work for one or two invitations, but it will start freezing again without a pattern...
    This is a real pain, because these meeting requests etc are for work meetings and interviews!
    Thanks guys!

    We are seeing a similuar issue here at work on serveral devices.

    iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S
    Running iOS 7
    When an email comes in for a meeting invite if you click on the Date and Time in blue it will walk you through opening the invite in your calendar and then I can Accept/Decline without issue.  If you click on the Invitation icon, which seems to be what users intuitively, in the the email then it freezes up the mail app., see image below.

    Is this the US store? How much is the item? Apple US store prices do not reflect sales tax which is added in the final steps of a sale. If your account credit does not cover the full cost, then you must have a bank card to charge the remainder of the balance. For whatever rason your bank card is being declined, so the sale cannot be finalized.

    What computer operating system?
    And, where is the music coming from, iTunes? If so, that is a known problem with Premiere Elements (just about any version).
    The answer has been to convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes.
    The following is the iTunes' document how to.

  • When trying to sync music, message says my device is synced with another library.

    when trying to sync music, message says my device is synced with another library?  what other library? my laptop crashed and i had it wiped clean.  i redownloaded itunes.  all my apps are there, my music is not.

    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That might switch the assocation of the device to the new machine but I couldn't say for sure.
