Cannot sync iPod since updating to iTunes 7.1

My iPod is a 5th generation video model. I recently updated to iTunes 7.1 and when I first connected my iPod, it went to update the iPod software and then I got an error message "iPod cannot update - error (-48). Now, most of the time, iTunes doesn't even recognize when I plug in my iPod. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling my older version of iTunes, but I wondered if anyone else has run into this issue.

Clarification...it says iPod cannot sync - error (-48).
When I use the iPod Updater program it tells me my software is up to date.

  • Cannot sync iPod after updating to 10.4.1 for windows. Help?

    I recently updated to iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows 7 on my PC and now I can no longer sync my iPod. Once it starts syncing music, I get an error message that says "iTunes Has Stopped Working" and it does not give me any kind of resolution to the problem. I have uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and all other Apple software from my computer but I'm still running into the same issues after I've reinstalled everything. Does anyone know why this might be happening and how I can resolve the issue? I've researched the issue and it seems like a lot of people are running into this and I haven't found any kind of universal fix yet.
    Thanks

    Upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and it syncs fine now so if anyone else is having the problem, that's the only solution I've found out there.
    PS - Posting on these forums appears to be pretty useless!

  • Cannot sync ipod since downloading new version

    I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes. When I connected my ipod classic 80gb to my computer the following message came up:- "Unable to sync ipod. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". When I disconnected my ipod all the music had been deleted. I reset it and tried again, but the same message appeared. I can no longer sync any music. Does anybody know why this problem is happening and how I can resolve it?

    Has your music been deleted off the computer? If it is still there, at least you will be able to synchronise that music to SOMETHING, maybe at a later date if your iPod is beyond repair. I can't think why your iPod would not be able to synchronise... Maybe you need to upgrade your version of iTunes, or re-download the iPod software, or even (rather drastically) upgrade your computer?
    I would contact the Apple company with further details of the problem. It sounds to me like a problem with the iPod software update in the downloading process, but it could indicate a virus, although this is unlikly. Scan your computer just to be safe.

  • Cannot sync Ipod Touch 8gb with itunes

    My new 8gb ipod touch appears under devices but there are no options like there are for my old ipod and I cannot sync any of my music in itunes. I also cannnot access the online store through my computer.
    Pls help

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you already try to remove and reinstall iTunes and all Apple related software? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Is your computer authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?

  • Very slow sync speeds since update to iTunes 7.4.1

    I have two ATVs on a 802.11n 5 GHz network. At some point recently, I suspect the upgrade of iTunes to 7.4.1, both ATVs started to sync extremely slowly. For example, a photo takes almost a minute. Activity Monitor shows an outbound network transfer rate of around 60 kB/sec. All other devices on the wireless network are seeing normal transfer rates - around 6 MB/sec for file transfers.
    I reset one of the ATVs to its factory settings and set it up again, but the problem persists. Any ideas?

    Okay, just the extremely obvious, but you have tried rebooting your base stations and any and all computers attached to the network, right?
    I just ask because yesterday my two AE stopped working on my otherwise reliable (and working) wireless network. Everything else was working just fine, but only by rebooting everything (turning it all off and on again) was I able to get the AEs to see the network again. I know -- I'm sure you've already done this a couple dozen times but it never hurts to ask.

  • HT1386 When I connect my iPod Touch to a new laptop (Macbook Air) the "Info" tab won't appear and therefore I cannot sync it with my new iTunes. How can I sync this iPod with the iTunes on my new laptop?

    There is no Info tab in Mavericks
    if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

  • Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Can anyone please advise me.

    Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod. 
    Can anyone please advise me.

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

    Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod.  How can I get them back on ipod??  They are showing in music library on itunes still.

    If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
    Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
    And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
    No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

  • Unable to sync Ical from Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11.

    I am unable to sync Ical from my Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11. (and yes, the Iphone shows up as recognised in the sidebar and will sync Ical from Macbook to Iphone.) All ideas welcome.

    If Damon's suggestion of resetting sync history doesn't fix the problem you most likely have a bad contact record in iCal. When they sync encounters the bad record it doesn't know what to do with it so it stops. To fix it you must find the bad record, open it, make a small change, and save it. An easy way to find the bad record is to create a new group and set the iPhone to sync to this group. Put a few records into the group at a time, then sync. At some point the sync will fail or hang. You have then narrowed the problem to a few records.

  • Cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11?

    cant sync my iphone 4s since updating to itunes 11 - any suggestions?

    Thanks for your message.
    I have downloaded the latest iTunes [11.1.5 (5)] with no luck, unfortunately. As it did with 11.1.4 (62), iTunes recognizes my iPhone, I can select the music to sync, click sync, it appears to sync but remains completely unchanged in my iPhone music.
    Any tips are welcome!

  • Cannot sync iPod after hard drive crash

    Hard drive crashed last week so reinstalled new from Dell. Data all backed up. Since new drive in cannot sync iPod. USB cable OK, iTunes "sees" iPod name and can download to iTunes but no sync. Do not get any kind of error msg that iPod registered on "another" computer (which it was). Still under warranty.

    Try restoring the iPod in itunes. This should assure that it sync with the current computer it's hooked up to.

  • Since updating to itunes 11, Home Sharing is not working

    Since updating to itunes 11, Home Sharing is not working.
    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit.
    All mobile devices are up to date with ios, including 2 apple tvs (2 & 3), iphone 4s and 3gs, ipad1 & ipad2.
    I've rebooted twice, turned home sharing off, then signed back in. Still nothing.  Rebooted the mobile devices.  No joy.
    Curiously, wi-fi sync is also not working - the devices are not showing up in itunes unless I plug them in. 
    Please Help!

    Yes, you guessed. After some rebbots it stopped working again .So it seems it is not a Firewall issue. Kept looking and found a suggestion in a forum to disable IPv6, apparently iTunes for Windows doesn't work well with IPv6. So I did, and after several rebbots and tests, both Home Sharing and Apple TV 1st Gen are working. To disable IPv6, follow this link
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852
    It has an MS Fix It that will do it for you. Or if you wnat to go manual, follow this discussion, this guy was having the same issue several months ago
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3507281?start=75&tstart=0
    So far IPv6 is just being rolled out, and it will be a few years until everybody abandons IPv4 and go only with IPv6, so you shouldn't have any issues disabling it. And by then iTunes -I hope- should be fixed to work correctly with IPv6. Try it, and if you find any issues you can always enable IPv6 using another MS Fix it program, or manually reverse what you did
    Hope it is fixed this time!
