Error 1418, "Can't Sync", and more...

Basically I've been getting Error 1418 when I try to restore, and when I try to put a song on the iPod it takes forever, and then tells me the iPod couldn't be synced. Then it disappears from my source menu.
I've already tried this article: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1181&start=300, and it didn't help.
What gives? Is this fixable? Or am I S.O.L. for getting to use my iPod?

Error Garageband - can't sync midi and audio

I have no midi attached but still get an error message "Can't sync midi and audio".
All I am trying to do is record a voice-over using the built in mic on the iMac. But this error message keeps popping up constantly. I close it and then 10 seconds later it pops up again.
Why is garageband trying to sync a mid that I have not connected?

Hi!
Enable all audio tracks (R) you wish to record. Then make sure you select the audio instrument you are using on the left of the arrange page (track list). If you here your input, hold shift, then highlight (gray) the mentioned audio tracks you wish to record on. When R is red, and the proper tracks are grey, you can record. Hope that made sense!

Help please:How do I solve "Unknown Error -53 Can't Sync (My) Ipod"

my Laptop was stolen.. it had my iTunes on it.. I have another computer so I down load iTunes but it does not seem to want to recognise my iPod saying "Unknown error -53 Can't Sync (My) iPod. Help appreciated. Friendly shake hands. R

Thank you, but I did that. I de-selected and then re-selected but because the 13019 still won't allow the sync, all it did was completely delete everything on my Ipod! I now have no songs on my Ipod when at least before, I had all my songs but the new 12 songs! I'm freaking!

Pretty sure it doesn’t say there is not enough room in iTunes library because it is not backed up to the iTunes library.
What is the exact message?

When i plug my ipod into my laptop, it comes up as a new ipod. It says it can't sync and wants me to restore it to its original factory settings but I don't want to because I will lose everything.

You have no choice but to restore the iPod. You can restore from backup if y have one.

Error (-50) Can't Sync Some Songs to iPhone 4

I have about 4,000 songs in my iTunes Library syncing to my iPhone. They would all sync well until I added one album, The Very Best of Eagles. Whenever it syncs now, it gives me an error saying "iTunes can't sync the song "Wasted Time" to the iPhone "Esteban Valle's iPhone 4" because an unknown error occurred (-50)"
I have already restored my iPhone and set up as new iPhone, reinstalled iTunes, and reencoded the album to no avail. Everything else syncs okay until it gets to this song, "Wasted Time"
What more can I do to fix this?

Actually guys, it's pretty dumb. I had imported also the disc "Hotel California" in the same session, and it turns out that that album had the song in question. I deleted the whole album and will try to reimport it. Anyway, mine's fixed, although now Im ****** I had to restore my iPhone . I'm gonna try to restore back to the old backup again.
Anyway I'll leave the question as unanswered because I know lots of other people are having this problem too, and it will encourage more answers.

Error 1723 - Can not sync

I have been trying for over a week to sync my iPhones 5s and iPad mini to itunes. 9 times out of 10 I will get a Error 1723 message, other wise I will get -50 Error. Advice from other threads ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/23386482#23386482 ) told me to change USB ports, change cables, and try a USB hub. I have tried all of these and keep getting the error message.
Today I restored my iPad to factory defaults as a last effort to get it to sync and, unfortantley, didn't work. It wants to sync my backup but can not get through all the steps before erroring. Now it is stuck at the factory default.
I really think the fault lies with iTunes. Under photos in the device tab loads nothing, just the loading circle (see attached photo). It does this for both devices. Even on other accounts it does this. Even after downloading a new setup file and reinstalling iTunes it does this. Frustrating. I'm contimplating a reinstalling osx to see if it will fix this issue.
OSX v. 10.9.1
iTunes v. 11.1.4 (62)
iPhone & iPad v. 7.0.4

so deleting your iPod photo cache as luigin suggested solved this for me.
i suspect that the fresh install of mavericks was just a much harder way of removing the corruption from that cache, so it worked but was more involved than it needed to be.
to save you scrolling, this is what luigin suggested:
Quit iTunes.
Open Finder, and go to wherever your iPhoto library is stored (usually ~/Pictures).
Right-click on the iPhoto Library and select "Show package contents"
Delete the "iPod Photo Cache" folder
Close the finder window
Open iPhoto. It might take some time for it to reload the library, but it's ok.
When iPhoto finishes loading the library and you can browse your photos, close iPhoto
Open iTunes, goto your device's Photo tab, and make shure the Sync photos options is UNCHECKED
Sync your device
After the sync finishes, CHECK the sync photo option. It will ask if the photos already in the device should be overwritten. I anserwered yes
Select which photos, events, albums or faces you want to sync,

Can't sync to more than one library at a time

I have deauthorised my desktop running XP,installed latest version of iTunes on laptop running Vista and authorised. Connected iPod to laptop and tried to sync but keep getting message that "iPod is already synced to a library and cannot be synced to more than one library at a time." How do I get my library from desktop to laptop?

*How do I get my library from desktop to laptop?*
If our iPod is large enough to hold all of your iTunes it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder from the old computer onto it and transfer everything to the new computer: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Alternatively you can copy the contents of the iPod directly to the new computer. Connect your iPod to your new computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

After installing ios5.01 on 3gs can't sync and can't play music

Updated my 3gs yesterday and part way through the update I got an error message so I restored my phone but now when I connect my phone to my computer it says set up your phone then gives the options of setting up as a new phone or restoring. I have tried restoring a few times but it hasn't changed anything. So now I can't sync my phone to itunes to put back the apps and music on my phone. The music I have put on from itunes on my phone won't play any sound. I have tried all the songs and none of them work but sound is working on everything else
Does anyone have a solution for this? I am so frustrated!!!

In that case you need a third-party application to get the job done. Senuti is very popular:

If you search you can find others that are just as good, and some are even free.

Sudden error I can't find and StageWebView (AIR for iOS)

Hey all,
In my app I allow a user to download files from a list and then typically use StageWebViews to display them (videos mostly). Recently my app started to misbehave.
I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 with AIR 3.2 on Win7 Pro 64.
I test on-device. I choose fast export (quick packaging) and debug right from Flash Builder so I can see traces/errors/etc from the iPad.
After downloading a ~40MB MP4, I save it to the applicationStorageDirectory (and mark it 'do not back up'). I then wait 3 seconds just to be sure the write has a few seconds to complete. Then I black out the screen with a black sprite, stick a close button on the screen and load the video into a new StageWebView.
The problem is the first time these larger 40MB videos are saved and attempted, TONS of code isn't firing off or affecting the display. The video plays just fine, centered on the screen. However all the code to remove tons of things from memory during video playback which has tons of trace statements sprinkled in is simply not affecting the iPads display. This ONLY happens on iPad1 (OS 5.1). iPad2 and iPad3 work just fine.
I presumed I was being too aggressive with the iPad1 and added more and more time between downloading, saving and setting the bit on the file so the iPad1 wasn't innundated with doing to much at once. I can add 25 minutes worth of setTimeout between playing this video for the first time and it will fail every time though. So it's not being innundated.
If the video is already downloaded and a user selects it, it works perfectly fine. All views/classes are disposing properly to free up as much ram as possible for the video playback.
Now, I'm getting this error randomly:
Error #2044: Unhandled ErrorEvent:. text=Plug-in handled load
I can't find where this is coming from. Has anyone seen this before? I don't know if it has anything to do with what I'm seeing fail here. I doubt it because I get it a very short time (few seconds) after the video starts playing back. I only get this video the first time a file is downloaded and played but then never again.
I have an UncaughtErrorEvent that isn't even catching this. Everything to do with the class that displays the video has try {} catch() {} blocks over every line of code. So doesn't the small file downloader class. Nothing is throwing an ErrorEvent.
Is there any easy way to find where this error is being generated? Something I might not know about the Flash Builder Debugger? Other errors show up and tell me where they occured, but this brand new error does not cause the app to fail and the debugger doesn't even flinch at it.
On the first part, has anyone recently seen their apps exhibit something like this? I have a list of files that I destroy before I show the video and it continues to exist even though I literally trace() all over the code that should destroy it and I see the traces. Everything is nulled. Objects no longer exist. The background isn't visible that I'm tracing as I build and it exists on the display list. It's very odd.
It'd just like suddenly StageWebView has an issue loading a freshly downloaded and saved file. It nukes the display list, nothing I do to it matters. But if the file already exists it all works fine.

Yes I use ie.jampot.nativeExtensions.MobileBackup. Worked perfectly fine before and continues to return a true Boolean value for success and Apple has never rejected the app. They initially did because I did not set the backup bit. I presume that means it's working just fine.
This app crashes after that code happens, during trying to load the content into a SWV. But hey, why not, I'll disable that and we'll see what happens. I'll report back. I get no errors at all when the app crashes (when I fast build for debugging and test on device). No errors at all. It just crashes. That's.. not good.
edit:
Nope sorry, didn't change a thing. The second time I use URLLoader after properly disposing of it each time it fails on any large files and the app crashes with no info back to Flash Builder. Even with MobileBackup disabled completely. Sucks.. Flash Builder profiler is showing me the reference counts on objects and I can see I'm cleanly disposing of everything properly.Something won't leave memory even though all reference counts are 0. This does NOT happen on iPad2 or iPad3, just iPad1 past OS 5.1. Ugh...
re-edit:
After profiling like crazy, tracing like crazy, crossing all my T's and dotting my....... lowercase j's...... I can only conclude there is now an intolerance for MP4s being played in a StageWebView of a certain filesize. YMMV but just making a quick demo app, downloading a 44MB MP4 and playing it works fine the first time. I then dispose of everything and verify it in profiler. I even run garbage collection manually on the profiler and it still curiously has a lot more memory in use than what it had at app launch. All instance (reference) counts are 0. Curiously memory is still pretty close to the same amount as the video I just played regardless that I disposed of the SWV instance completely. It's like the dispose isn't working. My method of dereffing the class level private variable is:
_swv.stage = null;
_swv.viewPort = null;
_swv.dispose();
_swv = null;
This doesn't seem to release the memory as fast as I'd like to see. Perhaps there's something lingering but that should properly dispose of that SWV instance.
Upon downloading the second video, the very second it's finished downloading (via binary mode URLLoader) the app crashes. It doesn't even fire off a complete event or error in any way, the app literally just quits. Perhaps the previous 40MB video is somehow still lingering and once I have that 44MB video in mem and try to load a different 40MB video it's 40+44=84MB ram trying to be allocated. I can't see why because as above, I'm disposing of the SWV. Reference counts of _swv is 0 after the first video is played and closed.
Really strange but be careful, something new is going on here. It used to work perfectly fine. It appears to be an issue since 5.1. Perhaps Apple caching the SWVs contents when it's not desirable to do so. I may have to go back and use StageVideo and draw up my own video controls. I only use SWV because both it comes with nice controls and a fullscreen built in that runs very smoothly. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.. Well.. it's broken.
I have verified that 20MB videos download and work fine. 40MB is giving me issues. Not sure where the line is here.

When sycning photos get error message: can't sync file not found

Trying to sync my wife's new 3gs to my macbook Pro. Never had any problems syncing my phone. With hers I can sync everything but photos. I get an error message saying can't sync file not found. I have no idea what file it is looking for or whether it is missing from the phone or my computer.

Thanks so much. The file path wasn't exactly the same as the link said, but it was close enough that I found it in a few minutes. Trashed the ipod cache as instructed, and now all my iphones and ipods have synced photos. Thanks again, would have never found that file on my own.

Authorizing Computer but still can't sync and can't access to old Library :(

Hi,
I have a few questions (trying to not mention issues) regarding Itunes:
When I-tunes is installed on a new computer and authorize, can you get access to your old library of music and apps?
I just got an Iphone, I am trying to sync it with my new computer but a windows appears asking me to authorize my computer otherwise my apps and music would be gone. When I click authorize, it mentions my computer is already authorize but I still can't sync my Iphone because it re-bump the windows "please authorize your computer" (Vicious Circle Grrrrr..... I din't say yet, I-inception )
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Sakizori

Not sure what you are asking.
An itunes account is a user name and password. You can sign into your account from any computer that has itunes.
What is it exactly that you want to put on the computer? Your library?
What does "will not let me" mean?
What did you try?
What was the result?
Error message?
