-54 syncing error, but still syncs

Okay so over the past week I've been getting an "error -54" when I try to sync stuff onto my iphone 5. This has never happened so I was stumped. I went to look through my phone at what I had just synced over and it was there, yet it gave me the error? It's constantly doing this with music and videos and even apps. I have restored my phone multiple times, even from new and it still does it. I have deleted all my music from my itunes and tried putting them in again; still does it. It's not every song or every app, but it is often and a bunch of them. I just don't know how to fix this and I don't know why it's giving me an error when I backup or put stuff on it, but the stuff still syncs to my phone? (It even showed up when I restored to new and tried to sync just the phone. It popped up). Is something wrong with my phone?

I guess I should have also said that I just updated to ios 8 and it never happened before that. Not sure if that means anything, but I guess every detail helps.

My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...

My iPod Classic 160GB is recognized by computer, and goes through sync process, but still has old stuff...
I feel like there must be an issue with the library location, but I don't know how to correct that. My Dad recently wiped my computer and deleted Windows XP and installed Windows 7. I don't know what he did, but my iTunes library is still intact it seems. However, I've added quite a few podcasts that I'd like to sync to my iPod. When I connect it, it goes through the sync process, but ends quickly and says its safe to disconnect. None of the new podcasts are on there though.
Also, there was something really wrong with my iTunes account. When I went to buy something from the store, it wouldn't accept my password, and when I went to reset it, it wouldn't recognize my birthdate and month (I had the correct username). I ended up creating a new account and purchasing a song. This time, it did sync the new song onto my iPod, but not the podcasts I'm trying to sync.
As far as the library location, is there anything particular that has to be included in that library in order for it to be recognized by iTunes when you sync? Awhile back (before my Dad worked on my computer), I had changed the folder location to my external hard drive, but in researching, I saw that I still had in another drive some folders with music that is currently on my iPod. So it looks like I have some stuff on two different drives... Maybe this has something to do with it not syncing right?
I did check, and my Firewall doesn't have iTunes blocked.
As you can see, I'm not very experienced with all of this... Sorry for the confusion. If you are interested in helping me and have any questions, please let me know.
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me... I desperately want to be able to listen to my podcasts, as I'm a stay-at-home Mom of 4 little ones, and the podcasts are kind of an "escape" for me when the children are napping or playing. :-)
Thank you in advance for your help!

Oh my goodness!! I am absolutely thrilled right now B-rock!! I don't know how I missed it, but when I went back to change the setting like you mentioned, I noticed that the very top box that says "Sync Podcasts" wasn't checked! I have no idea why... But my heart started to race when I checked that box and all of a sudden it started syncing all my podcasts!! It's gonna take a long time (I have 385 of them!), but I am just so happy you helped me with this problem. Thank you SO much!

After restoring from backup on a new phone (same model, just replacement) all my apps are showing as waiting....I have sync'd but still without any joy - this has been going on for hours

It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

Itunes dll errors, APPLE SYNC error on bootup, sync error.....solution!

One brilliant guy came up with this solution in this forum and has worked on 5 straight PC's. The thing is, I found another thread that helped also. In addition to this, if you are getting the Apple Sync Error, or still have problems after doing this procedure, go into uninstall programs and remove the MobileMe application. It is appearing to be a major contributor to the errors with Apple Sync! Thank you for your help guys!!!!!!
Okay, we're going to uninstall both iTunes and Apple Application Suppport this time. When we reinstall iTunes, that should reinstall Apple Application Support as well. We'll take a few additional explicit precautions along the way too. Best to print these instructions out, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
Preliminaries
Download and save a fresh 64-bit iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the iTunes install just yet.)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL925
Now, quit QuickTime (if you have that open) and Safari 4.0.4 (if you have that installed and open). Both applications use Apple Application Support, and they will interfere with the uninstall if you have them open.
Uninstall phase
Head into your "Uninstall a Program" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support.
(From this point on until we reinstall Apple Application Support, neither QuickTime nor Safari 4.0.4 will be able to run.)
Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
(1) Open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are stored on.
(2) Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
(3) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
(4) Staying in Program files (x86), find and open the "Common files" folder.
(5) Open the "Apple" folder.
(6) Right-click on the Apple Application Support folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Now empty your Recycle Bin and restart the PC.
Reinstall Phase
After the PC restarts, do not open any other applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus and antispyware).
Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunes64Setup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.

Thanks to all on this thread.. same problem, same solution.
This time it was on Win 7, the setup worked fine for awhile, and then SWMBO "did something" and it stopped working. Much debug later, found the log message and realized that there was a streaming problem, but could not figure out if it was the router, my wireless network (I'm using it tied to my existing wireless network) or what. New hardware, fully up to date firmware.. Argh!
I finally found this post, found the offending file ( ..\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\com.apple.iTunes.plist ) and simply moved it to another folder. Restart iTunes, and all is copacetic.
Clearly this is a software issue in iTunes, and is happening accross HW and SW platforms for better than 2 years now..
I love the device, but the only reason I have it is to drive the stereo. They should fix this one...

My ipad will not sync with all my music and films in my itunes library. I have just carried out a restart and sync again but still not showing all my music or films.

My ipad will not sync with my library in itunes, i have music and films in my itunes library but they will not transfer to my ipad. I have just carried out a restart to factory settings and then sync of my back up but still no joy. Any suggestions?

Have you selected the content to sync to your iPad in your sync settings in iTunes. The content that you want to transfer must be selected (checked or "ticked") to sync out will not transfer when you sync.
For instance - if you want to sync music....
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
This applies to all content that you want to transfer from iTunes to your iPad. Make the selections in the appropriate tabs in the iTunes window on the right.

.Mac Sync Error and no syncing

Trapping sync errors with eVB sync code??

Hi,
Is there any way to 'trap' errors that occur when syncing from within an app that is using the sample eVB sync code?
I'm talking about displaying the same type of error messages msync shows when an error occurs.
Thanks.

Hi there,
The best answer I've come up with so far is to look at what gets written in the file \syncerr.txt on the device, then delete it, so that after the next sync you know that all the errors in the file relate to that sync.
I haven't implemented this in practice yet, it's just my best guess and I'm putting off doing it until later in my project.
Does anyone from Oracle have a better answer?
At the moment, I'm trapping the fact that the sync didn't work using this code:
On Error Resume Next
Dim mySync As MSync.sync
' Omitted stuff to set up sync parameters etc
mySync.Sync
If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
MsgBox "Sync failed!"
Else
MsgBox "Sync completed!"
End If
But this doesn't tell me why, hence the theory of looking in \syncerr.txt

Cash Management - AutoRecon without errors, but still unreconciled?

Hi guys,
Pretty interesting question:
I have multy period's bank file (transactions for 3 accounting periods), all settings are according the manual on AP and CM sides done.
Statement's Import finished without errors, AutoReconciliation finished without errors, but Statement still have status UNRECONCILED and on AP side transactionsin ap_checks_all table still have STATUS_LOOKUP_CODE as NEGOTIABLE, and CLEARED_AMOUNT, CLEARED_DATE, REQUEST_ID, CLEARED_ERROR_AMOUNT and ACTUAL_VALUE_DATE fields are still empty.
The periods were OPEN at the time of a run.
Only when I go to the Statement in CM and open the lines and reconcile them one by one it works.
Please advise, any help will be appreciated!
Bok

Hi,
Step: 1
Check the System parameters Auto Reconciliation Setups
Step: 2
Check the Bank Statment line has Bank Transaction Code attached
Step: 3
Check the Document number given in Bank Statement line is matching exactly with the Payment/Receipt
Step: 4
Check the Bank Code attached to line is same as the available line you are trying to match i.e. RCT to Receipt, PMT to Payment etc
Step: 5
Assign MO: Security Profile Option to your user id
Run Autoreconciliation Program now. The issue should be resolved.

Your CC client (mac) get's stuck syncing (always sync icon but nothing syncing)? Temp solution!

I've been having some troubles lately with my CC client on Mac (using Yosemite + Macbook Pro 15 Retina), all under latest versions.
So, suddenly one day I was working and I figured out that my CC taskbar icon displayed always the blue arrows from syncing... I did looked into it and it didn't said "syncing X of X files..." but just "syncing" and nothing happened on both local or website cloud folders... I was starting to be angry when I saw it never ended for few days, and I thought it may be also consuming resources as it seems to be sending/receiving data constantly, but it's not doing anything really, new files won't sync by just placing them at the folder... it got completely cracked.
After looking into few posts, and having a depth look into requirements and file limits and overall, saw my files weren't the issue as they're well named and all of them under the file size limit, because I use Extract a lot and it has a layer limit as well...
Those steps helped solving the issue:
- Do a backup of your most recent files (web or local, in my case was local folder, so I just copied content in another folder outside CC folder).
- Once done, open CC client, go to the settings menu, and choose "preferences".
- Go to "files" tab and deactivate file syncing. Icon will stop displaying the blue arrows.
- Now go to your CC local folder and remove everything inside, same on website and important, remove all files definitely. Otherwise they will end up in your "Archived" folder.
- Once everything removed from both local and app cloud (and insist, definitely!, you should see nothing on any category on the website), activate syncing under "files" tab again.
- Nothing should happen as there are no files to sync on both ways (Local - Cloud), that's fine.
- Now, copy again all your content from your backup folder to your CC folder.
- Blue arrows will appear again, but you can see now it's really syncing files and not just doing anything as before. Let it upload everything again (may take it's time depending on the whole size).
- After every file is synced back again, you should see all files on both local and browser again and it should sync properly again, so it should stop once a file has been uploaded/replaced.
Keep in mind there's an issue on this solution, if you had created public links before, you should create them again as we removed everything completely before. It's a mess, but it's worth it rather than having your app not syncing at all.
Cheers!

Huh? What are you talking about? What's patronizing about my post? I just pointed out what you seemed to be missing. What's wrong about telling you where is the information that you were missing? How was I supposed to know whether you had read articles that you hadn't mentioned when some of your questions are clearly answered there? And even if I knew you had read them, what's wrong about telling you what you were missing there?
If it's the last sentence that you have a problem with, it seems to me that you missed the smiley at the end. Your post was very long and confusing. Thoroughly reading and understanding it all requires way more effort than usual. My last sentence was just an humorous comment about the fact that I couldn't deal with all of it and I might have missed something.
An answer like this makes me hesitant to post again
Well, at this point, I don't care at all whether you post again or not. I can tell you for sure that I'll never, ever, answer a post from you again, so if that's what you're concerned with, you don't have to worry about that possibility at all...
You might consider trying to check your ego
It seems to me that it's someone else who needs to check his/her ego...

Calendar Sync Error message when syncing my iPhone4 in iTunes

I get the following message when syncing my iPhone4 in iTunes: itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. My Nano will copy the first 275MB of songs over, but after that, I get:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "(ipod name)" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I've restored my nano multiple times, and updated to the latest version of iTunes (7.6.0.29). Software version on my Nano is 1.1.3.
I'm on a Windows XP system and have had no problems until yesterday when I attempted to add more songs.

IPod Nano is doing my head in - Unable to sync music, but can sync pictures

Have new Ipod Nano (4th gen) (as well as very old Ipod shuffle). ITunes recognises both devices, but when syncing music on new Ipod Nano, ITunes goes through the motions and shows it as sync'd on the device in ITunes, but when ejected/disconnected, IPOD Nano says "no music/songs". However we have been able to sync pictures from "my pictures" in windows and view them on the Nano. Anyone have any ideas?

In the summary display for your nano, under the Music tab, is Sync Music checked?

Sync error occurs when syncing contacts

Hi. The new desktop software was working fine, then all of a sudden, I started getting the following error message: "A sync error occurred. Please retry sync." Of course, when I retry, I keep getting the same message. It comes up during the contact syncing. I am not sure what the problem is. Any ideas on how to find out why it is hanging up and how to fix it??
Thanks.

I can say I am having this problem as well. I have scoured the forums and support pages, and tried everything under the sun; uninstall, reinstall, wipe, contact grouping, you name it and the problem persists. Gold medal to the person that can help me.
It looks like I get a date error in the log window. To be precise:

ICal error message "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" but still syncing via mobileme.

here is the screenshot ......http://gallery.me.com/joyseeker/100217/Screen-20shot-202010-07-15-20at-2011-59-4 5/web.jpg?ver=12791918490001
My problem must have started last week when I did a restore on the iPhone to see if its speed would improve. I noticed this week events added to the iPhone calendar were not updating the Mac and vica versa via Mobileme.
I realised then I had to switch on Mobileme syncing on the iPhone. Bingo syncing works again but now I get this popup error message regularly.
What am I not doing or enabling kind sirs?

I get the same error, when I am importing a calendar into MobileMe (via CalDAV) with items that have alarms more than 7 days out. The calendar I am trying to import is 37 MB in size and goes back to 1999 (it started life on a Palm III).
My solution, which is very time consuming, when this error occurs is to
1. change the alarm lead time to less than seven days,
2. re-export the calendar to an ICS file,
3. disconnect iCal from MobileMe (Preferences->Accounts->"-"),
4. delete the old destination calendar on www.me.com,
5. create a new, empty calendar on www.me.com,
6. reconnect to the MobileMe calendar in iCal (Preferences->Accounts->"+"), and
7. import the ICS file into the empty MobileMe calendar.
It's a real pain! I really do wish, Apple would fix the issue very soon. During a chat with a MobileMe support agent I was informed that Apple was working on the CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation, although she didn't offer any details and didn't appear to be aware of a connection with the length of alarm lead times.

TS2830 Transfer songs onto Music listfor nano, comes up with sync error 13019 still appears to have transferred to music list on nano while plugged in but when you search on the unplugged ipod not there.

When i transfer a song from my itunes library to ipod nano it says "cannot syn 13019" it appears to transfer song to the music list on ipod but when you disconnect from the computer the songs aren't on the ipod

No, I can't use a charger - I need to recharge the iPod off the computer. (I'm often charging it while traveling with no access to a wall plug).
What you describe in your situation is completely different from what I'm talking about: You have iTunes on and you are syncing the iPod, and then you eject it from within iTunes. What I'm talking about is NEVER having iTunes on, and just plugging the iPod into the USB port and just recharging it, nothing else.
My goal: I want to be able to plug in, recharge, and unplug the iPod without ever touching the mouse or the keyboard or interacting with the computer at all.
I 100% know this is possible because that is the setup I've had for months, and it worked fine. But when I recently updated to iPod software version 1.2, some setting was changed and I can't figure out what. I know it is very simple, the solution, but I've forgotten how I did it in the first place.
