Autofill error -54- due to software update??

My 2nd generation shuffle was working fine until I just updated the software. Now, when I try to autofill from my library, it stops every hundred songs or so and says "Attempting to copy to the disk "" failed. An unknown error occurred (-54). And I have to delete the song and start the autofill over.
Is there a way to go back one software update? Are others having this issue? This is happening on 2 ipods, so I'm pretty sure it's the software and not the hardware.

Are any of the songs in your library locked? I just discovered that any songs I was trying to sync that were locked would cause this error. If such songs are in playlists you're syncing, or in your library and you try to autofill, it'll make the shuffle lock up.
Go to the songs in finder. If the icons have a little lock on them, click apple-i, then make sure "locked" is unchecked.
This was driving me crazy, but now everything seems to work.

    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Paste into a Terminal window by pressing command-V. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    Below that, you may see some other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as above, apart from differences in the blank space within lines. Otherwise you can't use this procedure—STOP and ask for guidance.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
    You may be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

  • My ipod needs to be restore and I get a error message saying :ipod software update server coud not be contacted.

    My ipod needs to be restore and I get a error message saying :ipod software update server coud not be contacted.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then tap Settings > General > Software Update
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • HT201210 Trying to restore ipod and keep on getting error message: the ipod software update server could not be contacted. the network connection was reset

    Hello can someone please help? Trying to restore ipod and I keep on getting error message: The IPod software update server could not be contacted. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network is active and try again.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • HT1338 I keep getting a Networking Error: when i run Software update. i have 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to at least 10.6 or later. i know the network is working perfectly.

    I keep getting a Networking Error: when i run Software update. i have 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to at least 10.6 or later. i know the network is working perfectly.

    Snow Leopard OS 10.6 is not available via Software Update, it is paid upgrade.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update.  Gray box just turns a lighter shade of gray

    MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update-not using App.  Gray button just turns a lighter shade of gray and just sits there.  Have done previous downloads last one on Jan.9 for desktop and two others. 

    So I've realized that iTunes needs service pack 2 for
    XP, and I have 1, so I'm trying to download it, but
    that's not working either... I wonder if you know
    windows as well as apple? I have to turn the Active
    x controls on and this tool bar is to appear so I can
    do that but I can't get it to appear. I've tried
    raising the security settings but nothing appears...
    interesting.................what is service pack 2 and where can i find it? My itunes still flickers on and off when i attempt to use it. .. and how do i get to the active X controls so that i can adjust them? Thank you guys so much for your time and assistance :-D

    Perhaps, iTunes can't communicate with the Apple uodate servers. Temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software would help. Take a look at this.

  • HT1338 Receiving Error when I run Software Update in Mountain Lion.

    I am receiving the following error when I run software update in OS-X Mountain Lion. The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)
    Is this a problem with my MBP or is there an issue with the AppStore servers? Is there an alternate way in Mountain Lion to look for updates if the problem is with the AppStore app itself?
    Thank you,

    Apparently a server overload > NSURLErrorDomain error -1100
    Try again later.

    No you should not loose anything. That's the entire point of a backup. to save everything so it can then be restored.

    Hello b:
    It sounds simplistic, but restart your computer if you have not already done so. I looked, but could not find that particular error code.

  • Error while installing Device Software Update usin...

    I have installed Nokia Suite 3.2.100 on my Win XP-SP3 machine.
    Upon signing in, Nokia Suite indicated that I have an update available for my device (Nokia N8-00 running Symbian Anna, Type RM-596).
    The application available for update was Nokia Maps - with enhanced Drive navigation ver. 3.8.105.
    When I tried to install, I get the following error message : "Something's Gone Wrong - There was a problem with the software update service".
    The error message further suggests that if the problem persists, I should uninstall Nokia Suite and and download the latest version.
    Nokia Suite is otherwise working perfectly fine for me and I believe ver 3.2.100 is the latest version.
    Do I still need to uninstall Nokia Suite and reinstall again. Could you please help me with this.
    Thanks and regards.

    3.2.100 is the latest, so you cannot update it. Are you able to see the same app on your phone update section? You can also try from there.
    If the problem still occurs with some other app, you can try to repair the Nokia Suite and PC connectivity solution installation from Programs list of Windows.

    anyone can help me with this?

    This is just a guess, and it may not work, but it won't make things worse.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Copy or drag – do not type – the line below into the window, then press return.
    defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
    You can then quit Terminal.
