A series of error messages, starting with syncing playlists.

I have been trying to sync new playlists to my ipod without much luck. I go to the music tab of the ipod screen on my computer, and check the playlists that i want to sync. I have tried this several times now, and I hit the apply button in the corner. At this point iTunes almost freezes, and it gives me an error message that an unknown error occured (-50), and that my ipod cannot be synced. I then try a few times to restore my ipod, and it tells me (after thinking for a moment, that my ipod cannot be restored because an unknown error has occured (1418). Can anyone help me with one or both of these problems?

The article Zevoneer pointed out is a good article for this error.
One thing to check though is to make sure the ipod is not connected to a USB hub and is connected directly to a port in the back of the computer if it is a desktop computer.
If all of this has been tried, the ipod can be set up for service with Apple via the ipod service website. http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod

  • Multiple Error Messages, starting With 500 null Error

    I've been experiencing multiple error messages with
    ColdFusion 7.0 on Ubuntu Linux/Apache2 for the past several days,
    starting with the 500 null error (see
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=f9e312a2),
    which ocurred on only part of the site (a set of forms requiring
    remote login). Now, the following errors are appearing on various
    CF forms: "An I/O error while manipulating the sort index" and "An
    exception occurred when setting up mail server parameters" and
    finally, "No space left on device." All these errors are occurring
    on add/edit forms and cffile upload forms that were working fine a
    few hours ago and that haven't been changed.
    Right now, I'm replacing the license.properties file to deal
    with the 500 null error. My question is, has anyone else
    experienced this smattering of other error messages in conjunction
    with the 500 null error? Or fast on the heels of it? What's the
    deal with the 500 null error, anyway? Has Adobe made any progress
    with this issue?

    Okay, this is a followup to my previous post (
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=143&threadid=1165765&en terthread=y).
    Replacing the license.properties file isn't sufficient in
    addressing the 500 null error. We are running Ubuntu Linux. I
    understand that I need to replace jvm 1.5 with jvm 1.4.2. I'm
    honestly not sure how to detect on Linux which version of jvm is
    running or how to make sure that version 1.4.2 is what is running
    when we reinstall ColdFusion. If someone could help me with this,
    I'd appreciate it. The 500 null error is eating my Web site like
    the Langoliers. Even some static .cfm pages are failing now.

  • When I try to sync my Ipad Mini, I get an error message that says "sync session failed to start".  Anyone ever deal with this?

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart your iPad and try again. If it doesn't work with a restart of the iPad, try a reset of the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with itunes on a Windows 7 laptop. When I go back to my music there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I have reinstalled iTunes

    I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes on my Windows 7 Samsung laptop.  I recently backed up all of my data using Samsung Recovery Solution 5 to an external hard drive so that I could restore my laptop.  I put all of my data back on the restored laptop and reinstalled iTunes. After the error message that says that certain items could not be found and the "sync" is finished I go back to my music in iTunes and there are exclamation marks next to many songs.  I follow some instructions regarding the Edit - Preferences - Advanced settings and the exclamation marks go away until I try to sync my phone again.  Then I get the same error message and the exclamation marks return.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same thing happens again.  I am about to schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar but would like to avoid that if possible.  Thank you in advance for any help. 

    Hello Courtney,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone.  It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

    Hello brainiac08
    Typically that error occurs because of a backup issue. Check out the article below to resolve it.

  • I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

    I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process.  The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack.  Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause.  The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that.  Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • When I try to sign in to my account on iTunes, I get the above error message, along with "Please review your account information". When I then click on "Review"

    When I try to sign in to my account on iTunes, I get the above error message, along with"Please review your account information".
    When I then click on "Review", it comesup with the page "Create an Apple Account for the iTunes Store"and presents me with the Terms Of Service.
    When I click "Agree",  It is disabled.
    Can anyone tell me why this has happened and how to resolve it?
    Please, please, please help.

    Count me in as having the same problem. I have been leaving messages in the iTunes for Mac forum where others in there also are having problems. I have been unable to access my account since 11/7/2007. E-mails with Apple have not worked and now I haven't heard back from them since Saturday. I have tried both on a Mac and Windows machine and keep receiving the same error message that:
    This Apple ID has not yet been used with iTunes.
    I last purchased music with this account on 10/30/2007. I even tried resetting my password, changing my account info, trying on a computer with iTunes 7.4, etc. I have money in that account and 150 songs and 5-6 tv shows that I cannot access. I also just purchased a new computer and cannot sync my iPod with this computer since these songs will not transfer.
    Apple really needs a phone number for technical support. Having to deal with e-mails back and forth (and waiting a day for each e-mail) is not a good business practice. Hopefully they will have a phone number in the future.
    Either way, count me in on getting annoyed that a week later, this issue has not been fixed.

  • I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone my iPhone because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found."

    I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone <my iPhone> because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found." lately.
    Normally, all I do with photos is move them from my iPhone to my computer's (Windows 7) hard drive. I do this by connecting the iPhone with the cable, a box pops up on the screen asking me what I want to do, and I choose "Import pictures and videos". I've previously selected the "delete photos from the device after move" option (or however it's worded...), simply because I don't want this device to fill up with photos.
    Lately, it has been importing the photos fine, but it won't delete them from the iPhone. This used to work just fine, now it doesn't work and I don't know what changed, if anything. In iTunes, I get the error message I list at the beginning of this message.
    How do I fix this?

    Hi there scarbo59,
    You mentioned that you are still able to import without issues, but you may still want to run through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article below.

  • My MB Pro is no longer syncing my iPad in iTunes. It did in the beginning, however I had to change my MB Pro password. Now I get a permissions error message trying to sync: "error storing your authorization information on this computer." Can you help?

    My MB Pro is no longer syncing my iPad in iTunes. It did in the beginning, however I had to change my MB Pro password. Now I get a permissions error message trying to sync: "error storing your authorization information on this computer." Can you help?

    First I would just try deleting the SCInfo folder, restart your computer, open itunes and see if you are still getting the error, at that point if you are it is a permissions error with the computer specificaly and not in itunes.

  • After apparently syncing, I get an 13010 error message and told sync can't work. All songs on iPod but frozen.

    I recently noticed that a ton of songs weren't playing all the way through and I tried to sync them up. That led to "restoring" my iPod a few times. Finally able to sync and get all songs and podcasts and photos onto my iPod, but along with an error message that the sync couldn't be done due to an unknown error 13010. The songs are there but I can't do anything with them such as make playlists or even change how they're listed. This is incredibly frustrating as NOTHING has happened to this iPod to cause this to happen.

    AND i already tried to delete the iTunes library genius.itdb file!!

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone

    Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone.
    I've tried restarting my computer, powering down my i-Phone & shutting down i-Tunes but nothing works.
    Plus i cant email photo's from my i-Phone either.

    Can you do a manual back up by right clicking on the iPhone in the left pane and selecting backup?
    Also, have you tried restarting your iPhone? If not, hold down your sleep and home button until the screen shuts off then let go of the buttons. Wait a few seconds and then press the sleep button to turn the iPhone back on. Try to sync now.
