My iPod error 13010.

My iPod Classic is having issues syncing. It is giving me error # 13010. Has anyone had this experience or now how to fix it?

Mine did the same, but when it reset to factory settings it came up with another error message and told me that it couldn't be done. Result: I have an iPod Classic that is well and truly stuck, not recognized by my Mac, not recognized by iTunes, can't be turned off and is stuck on a screen "OK to disconnect".

My genius results cannot be delivered. Unknown error 13010.

My genius results cannot be delivered. Unknown error 13010. Therefore itunes match doesn't work neither. I already tried deleting the genius itdb file. Didnt work. My music is on an external drive.
Can anyone help?

Hello nebimotu,
This error indicates an interruption in communication between the iPad and the computer, specifically the USB connection.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

ITunes 8.2.1 crashes or will not load, reprots unknow error [13010]

I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.2.1 and have had several errors and it crashes when ever it try to copy files to my iTouch.
The program installed and ran the first time but on subsequent starts the program would return a message iTunes cannot load, unknown error 13010. Looking through the forums I found several others with the same problem. The solution was to delete the Genius library files. I did that and iTunes loaded. But each time it loads it recreates the this Genius thing and the program will not run after it's finished or crashes while creating the Genius Lib. I started canceling the Genius as soon as iTunes loads and i'm able to keep it up and running.
The next problem is every time I try to copy files to my itouch the program crashes in the middle of the copy. I found that it will run for a while but eventually the program will crash.
Does anyone know if this is related to that @#%@! Genius thing. Can I remove Genius?
My next course of action is to delete 8.2.1 and go back to an earlier version.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
Thanks

You can not get rid of Genius, but you can turn it off on the iTunes Store menu.
Another thing you could try is to rebuild your library using this method:

But ... I am just wondering if one of your content files is causing iTunes to crash.
Check this article on troubleshooting crashes:

The section headed "Check for content files with issues" is the one you want. If that's not it, it is a good article on general troubleshooting.

Why do i get error 13010 when i try to sync my ipad with iTunes?

Hi,
I am getting the error "13010" when ever i try to sync my ipad with iTunes. I looked around for a solution on the net. Someone asked me to delete the "iTunes Library Genius" file from iTunes folder and re-start iTunes. That didn't work for me. Someone also asked to go to Task Manager and terminate the program iTuneshelper. That didn't seem to help either. Kindly give me a solution if any.
Thanks

TS1717 am unable to open iTunes and i get an error 13010. What should i do?

When i open itunes from my mac, i receive an error 13010. Itunes refuses to open. i have downloaded itunes again but still unsuccessful! What should i do?

This worked...found on a prior discussion:
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page)...
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
From the link above (near the top of the page)....Under 'download locations' click on 'download@majorgeeks'
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you just downloaded and ran.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Restart your computer.
Re-download Itunes (latest version form Itunes website) and install. It worked!

try the following user tip from another thread:
Jim VanLeeuwen wrote:
Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

Error 13010: Deleting Genius file doesn't work

I recently encountered a problem starting up iTunes and was presented with the error 13010. I searched for a fix to the problem and came across a thread with a solution that would supposedly help me. After following a bit of advice that seemed to have helped a lot of people (which is deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file) I found that it did nothing for me, for as soon as i tried to launch iTunes it would immediately recreate that same file and come up with the same error. I guess I'm just looking for an alternative answer.
Thanks,
Charles

Charles,
is your signature correct? Mac OS X (10.6.8)? If you are running Lion or Mt. Lion, log off and on again, after quitting iTunes, before you remove the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Otherwise you cannot be sure, that iTunes really quits, and it may just recreate the file with the old content when you launch the program again.
Regards
Léonie

Error (13010), what does this mean?

error (13010), what does this mean?

I just got a new Mac and wanted to transfer my old iTunes library to it. After a night of attempting to import the old library to the new Mac it said that the library was damaged and subsequent restarts yielded the 13010 error. I deleted everything listed, did a number of iTunes reintalls and the only thing that has allowed iTunes to continue is to dig up a backup library (which is in progress now). Barring this working, how can I get it so that iTunes boots again as if it is factory fresh?

Try the following:
1. Go to the following folder: username/Music/iTunes/
2. Remove the following files from this folder:
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
3. Open iTunes.
4. You will have to re-scan your media.
No! Not the iTunes Library.itl file!! That is what makes your library. Delete that and when you open iTunes you will get a blank, brand new library which will certainly take care of the issue because you will be starting from scratch (the media files will still be on the computer). By "re-scan your media" this will mean adding it all again to the library, rebuilding your playlists, starting off with playcounts zero and no ratings.
Caddyfan, I see you have systematically posted in quite a number of topics about this issue. I hope you post a correction about this in each one, or if you did indeed mean delete the entire library file at least make it clear this will be a consequence of your suggestion. It is also usually unecessary to post in topics which haven't seen a post in about a year.

My itunes will not open its showing error 13010

I'm trying to launch my itunes but every time I click to open the application I keep receiving
an Error notice numbered 13010 saying unable to open? Any ideas on how i can fix this without risking
losing the music??

Hold the option key while starting iTunes and create a new library. Does it start now? If so, it's something to do with your library file. Is there anything we should know about your computer such as you keeping your library on a NAS?
