    ERROR MESSAGES WHILE SYNCING IPHONE 3GS WITH ITUNES 11.0.1
    I just upgraded to iTunes 11.0.1 and although my music, podcast and apps sync with my iPhone 3GS (Version 4.1), iCal and Address Book doesn't! I get the following error messages:
    After clicking OK, another dialog box appears that states:
    Also, iSync has this to say:
    Until the upgrade, I had no problems syncing my iPhone 3GS with iTunes!
    How can I correct this new issue?
    Thank you very much in advance,

  • ITunes (unknown error -54) when syncing music to iPhone 4s. Help!

    I just got a 64 GB iPhone 4s and I'm having trouble syncing my music library. A few artist into syncing and get an error message saying a certain song could not sync (unknown error -54). Then the rest of my library does not sync to my iPhone. I deleted all the songs that made it into my iPhone and I tried syncing my library again. I got the same unknown error -54 message again but it's another song that won't sync. The funny thing is that the previous song that wouldn't sync made it into my iPhone. Because of that I think it's an iTunes problem and not the file. Please help! Very frustrating!

    I stopped using iCloud and started to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. I had also done a restore just to make sure it was being ungunked. Everything works perfectly now. I'm back to using my laptop iTunes for backing up my iPhone 4S

  • 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.

  • Unknown error -50 when syncing Ipod

    Hi all, hope you can help. I have a Mac 10.4.11, and just got an 8 gb ipod touch yesterday. I am unable to sync my music and photos, I keep getting the following msg: "The Ipod Emy's Ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50)."
    For information I have reset the ipod and have the latest version of Itunes.
    Can someone help me please??
    Thanks

    It sounds like you might be experiencing the same problem I have been having:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19207453#19207453
    Can you pinpoint the time when you started having this problem?  I am wondering if Amazon has made some kind of change to their downloads that is causing a problem for the syncing process.

  • 13019 unknown error - for folks in Africa (no Apple shops, lousy internet)

    I bought my i-pod touch 64GB in Mozambique after losing my 32GB when mugged in Angola. All fine for three months, when the update to 5 came out, difficult to update due to 5 kb per sec internet connection (775 MB needs about 15 hours of iuninterrupted network). Immediately after the update came out, no syncing, and unknown error 13019. Other discussions say to to ipod on devices, then music tab and go to "sync music" option to disable "voice memos". My i-tunes only gives me "sync my ipod" option (not sync music, not sync videos or anything else). There is no tab/option about voice memos...... I downloaded the update onto an external harddrive when I was in a different country. How can I upload that to my new itunes and ipod (hoping it might fix my problem)? I  am 50 years old, and only an ipod/apple user for four months. So please excuse my ignorance, and my feeling of having been cheated...... Please help!! p.ds. I havbe guessed what my operating system is, it must be 4 something I suppose. I don't even know how to find out, but the latest update that coincided with the problem was "5"....a couple of months ago.

    This is me again, the guy that wrote the original question. I may have put too much in the question, making it difficult for people to reply.
    Maybe I can start with this one......
    If I cannot to the update download as my internet connection is so bad (I got up to 500 MB last night, but it took 7 hours, before the connection went down again, so I'm back to zero.
    But, I have the following file I managed to download to an external hard drive : iPod4,1_5.0_9A334_Restore I think that's the update I need to start trying to follow other possibilities. How do I transfer this to my computer/iTunes and iPod touch? What file or folder do I need to copy and paste it into?
    Many thanks for any help you can offer this old, ignorant fool.

  • Unknown error - will not sync with iTunes

    My 80gb video iPod worked fine until yesterday. Now every time I try to sync with iTunes an unknown error occurs and it won't update from the Library. Have tried everything suggested, even restoring and have consequently lost all music from the iPod after the letter B. I updated the iPod with the latest software it suggested, was wondering if that could have anything to do with it, or what I could do about it.
    Thank you.

    Could you quote for me what the error message says?
    Since there are a lot of "unknown error" numbers out there with syncing (-36, -50, -69, -39, -48, etc.), it would help to know what is the exact error number that you are getting.
    Thanks for the info!

  • Unknown error -50 while syncing CONTACTS in Windows Vista 64 Bit & iTunes 9

    My operating environment: Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit; iTunes 9.0.2.25. iPod is Classic 80 GB, setup for a hard rive also. Music sync is fine. iPod plays the music tracks fine.
    Problem: Few days back I tried to sync my "contacts" from my Windows Mail. This worked fine. But, I noticed that my Contacts in the Windows Mail had dupicates and not in proper sequence (last name, first name). So, I spent a lot of time in fixing the records in Windows Mail. I then re-synced the revised Contacts with my iPod. The sync process ended quickly normally, but, nothing changed in the iPod - still showing old records. I tried this sync process couple of times, but no chnage!
    Next, I went to Windows Explorer and opened the Computer, and RT-clicked on the iPod icon and opened the properties and deleted the file shown on the hard drive/iPod. and then resynced again. Now I got an error message: "The ipod "--------" cannot be synced. An unlnown error occurred (-50).
    Can some one please tell me: 1) how to sync the contacts so they show my new, revised contacts? and 2) how to get rid of this -50 error?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I unfortunately have no solution but same error is occuring on mine as well. Also Vista. It happened first 2 days ago after having sync my ipod to latest software 1.1.2 I have then updated to iTunes 9 but no change. Music is seeming to update but the error maintains. If we as user have no idea whom could we contact at apple to get pro help? I mean we are purchasing expensive stuff and we could expect some help. all the best Matt

  • Unknown error (-50) while syncing iPhone 3G

    I updated my iPhone to 2.01 and started getting the message: "iPhone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)." So then the 2.1 came out and it worked once but I dropped the phone and broke the glass. After getting a new phone, I restored everything from backup and now I am getting the same message. Because my iTunes library is getting so large, I have it on a separate drive so that my internal HD has some space to breath. Does this have anything to do with it or is it something else? I have reset the phone, restarted the computer and restored it again from iTunes. Any help would be appreciated.

    The problem is with iPhoto for Mac.

  • HT201413 unknown error (-50) when sync with itunes

    When sync my iphone 5 with itunes i get an unknown error (-50) whats his and how do i fix it?????

    I also have the same problems and get the same error message, amongst other things. The iPod (photo) has even been back for repair 3 times, but no fault was found. It worked fine since April but then all the problems I am getting started following the download of Apple's iTunes 'version 5' which has not been cured by then downloading number 6. The effect of this download on my other computer has been that iTunes itself will not open. Apparently caused, some say, by Norton thinking it is some sort of Virus??? (See the discussion forum on this problem and 'iTunes will not open in Windows', it is huge, but still no 'fix' from Apple!). I now have an empty iPod, and 2 computers with iTunes that will not do its job. Not impressed, my husband has ditched his iPod and has already bought a Sony, which he says is much, much better and much more stable. If this is not sorted out soon I will be doing the same.

  • Unknown Error (-27) When syncing

    So, it seems almost every time I go to sync my iPad, when I first plug it in, it hangs for a while then iTunes comes up with a "Unknown Error (-27)" message.
    If I clear that and manually click the Sync button, it then works.
    Any idea?

    It's also been happening on my iPhone for the past few weeks.
    I unplug and plug in again, and it syncs the second time.
    It may have shown up with iTunes 9. The iTunes update last night (April 27) did not correct the problem.
    Has anyone else had this problem or solved it?
    Thanks,
    Alan

  • Unknown Error 13019 when syncing Iphone 4 with Itunes

    Hello. I used to have absolutely no problem syncing podcasts/music/videos with my phone. Then one day, my friend came over with his ipod and synced with my library and now it no longer allows me to change those 3 things. It will backup my phone just fine as well as allow me to update my ringtones and update my apps, but I always get that unknown error 13019 right before it finishes syncing and it won't update my library with any changes to music/podcasts/movies.
    I've tried reinstalling and that doesn't fix it. Any help would be fine. Also, the media I had on my phone prior to my friend syncing his ipod stays on my phone to this day, I just can't add to it or change it in anyway.
    Thanks in advance

  • Desktop Manager crashes with "unknown error" message before sync starts

    I have the latest phone software, the very latest version of the desktop software and I can't get the sync to get past the initialization stage before it crashes.  I've read some of the other posts about changing the synch settings but I can't even get to the settings options before it crashes.  I've uninstalled the desktop software and reinstalled it (both with and without the media manager add on).  I've done a battery pull on the phone itself.  I've even done a restore of the last good backup of the phone.
    Is it just me or does this house of cards seem to collapse every time there's an update to either the desktop software or the phone software?

    If you have reinstalled the software without using the clean removal procedure I recommend you
    use the procedure and the install the desktop manager again. The procedure cleans the registry and
    completely strips all directories etc. This will save you headaches in the long run.
    Use the first procedure to check the possible causes of the "unknown error".

    Most posts I see regarding any new desktop manager are installation and setup errors by far.
    The other posts mainly are Windows OS programs that aren't updated or unique to a specific PC setup.
    House of cards? I don't think there are enough cards for a double deck pinochle game.
