Error -208! iPod will not update photos!!

My iPod doesn't update my Photos at all. When I plug in the iPod I immediately get the Error -208 message, it skips over the photo update, and moves right to the music update, which the music updates just fine, but not the photos. Any solutions?
I took my iPod to Apple Store a few weeks ago to see what they would say. We tested it out on a computer there and it updated everything perfectly of course, so they couldn't do anything for me. They told me to try and rebuild my iPhoto library when I got home, so I tried that, but it didn't work.

Error -208 is a java error, I believe. You may want to reinstall java on your computer. If that doesn't help, maybe reinstalling iTunes will . . .
Good luck!

  • Error message: Ipod will not update HELP!

    I have reset and restored my ipod mini and I am still running into the same problem. When I attempt to add music to my ipod i get an error message and the upload stops. About 100 songs will go onto my ipod but no more than that. Im using a powerbook and I havent had any troubles before. Please help!

    Error message: "Attempting to copy to the disk (ipod name) failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. "
    the image that is with the message is stop sign with an exclamation point and then the itunes symbol over it.

    im getting kind of the same problem. i got a new computer with vista on it, and i plugged in my ipod with all the songs on it, and i thought if i set it to put all the songs on my computer it would erase the ones currently on it. i started getting alot of errors saying there wasnt enough space on my 8gb nano, which there should have been enough space but since it wasnt deleting the music already on it.
    after trying a few different setting i decided to try the restore button and it said it couldnt restore. so i closed itunes went to computer and into my ipod, enabled it so i could see hidden folders and then deleted all the F1, F2,F3 and so on folders and tried an update and it worked.
    but something really strange then happened in itunes, it was on my purchased playlist instead of having just my purchased music it had three copies of all my purchased music, but there wasnt three files of each. itunes did this on my previous computer but it made new copies of the files.
    it then worked just like it did on my old computer, but i noticed it wasnt working properly went i got all the album artwork and my new purchased music. now i dont really know what to do, do what i did before and delete the music manually or just wait untill the update in a "few weeks"
    i hope this has been helpful to anyone else with similar problems.

  • Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

    My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
    I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
    One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
    There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

    Thank you for responding.
    Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
    I will try downloading latest updates.
    I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

  • I add songs to itunes, but ipod will not update!

    I imported songs onto my itunes library. But when I plug it in the usb to update, it will automatically disconnect after 5 minutes, and the ipod will not update. I've tried adding all music, and just checked songs; both do not not work.
    I have version 7.0.0.7
    I have about 50% of room left on my ipod.
    Any suggestions??

    Hello Rex225
    The best way to resolve the issue is to remove the music from the iPhone and then download the purchase again using the steps in the following article.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT4623 my 2nd. generation ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4

    my 2nd. geration ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4 or 6.

    Are you sure you have a 2G? A 1G can only go to 2.1 via iTunes but a 1G can go as high as 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Identifying iPod models
    To If you do have a 2G that can go to 4.2.1 by:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    For 4.2.1 you need iTunes version 10.X and that requires OSX 105.8 or later.
    If you have 10.4.11 you can only go to iOS 4.1 since that OSX can on go to iTunes 9.X

  • HT1848 my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.

    my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.  It keeps telling me to authorize the computer which I have done.  The purchased items were purchased using an $10 gift card, would that have anything to do with it?
    Thanks,

    We won't know until you try the procedure.   The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.

  • IPod will not update automatically

    After installing iTunes 7.0 I find that my iPod will not sync any more. There is no automatic updating. iTunes recognizes the iPod and says it's updating but nothing updates. It has sat for hours updating and nothing comes across.
    I've installed and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7.0 but it doesn't make any difference.
    Has anyone any ideas, I've over 9,000 songs so I don't want to even think about restoring the iPod.

    Sorry to say, but restoring might be what you have to do.
    You can try using the ipod diagnostic by going to Help>run diagnostics and see if any errors are reported

  • GB Display Amount Error. Pod will not Update?

    So for the past couple days I have been unable to update my Ipod. Using V6, I maunally add music to my ipod, but none of it is showing up. Than I switched over to automatic, to add all the songs in my current library with edited titles that I made, and the Ipod stil doesnt register the change. It will not let me add the music. There is also an error in the GB display it says that 1000 plus songs are taking up 17GB out of the 30 I have. That isn't right. Last week I had 6000 or so and it took up less than that. Im at a loss for what to do. I rest it and that didnt work. I uploaded V7 and same problem, it also gives me this error, "The Ipod '' cannot be updated. the File or Directory is corrupted and unreadable." SOMEONE please help.

    it might be worth checking on the possibility from the following document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

    1. Go to your photo tab in itunes
    2. Tick on sync photo from specified pth from your computer
    3. press the sync button

  • Ipod will not update even though itunes shows that copying is complete

    Good morning all,
    Today I purchased an album from itunes and tried to copy it to my ipod. I have the manual set up where the ipod does not update automatically. Today as soon as I connected the ipod to the pc and itunes opened I saw in the display "ipod is updating do not disconnect". This was not supposed to happen since my settings are to manually update the ipod. Then I manually copied the new album, I saw that it was copying and checked the ipod and saw the music there. But as soon as I disconnected the ipod the music had not copied. any feedback will be appreciated.

  • Getting a Firewire error and iPod will not go to sleep now

    Has anyone received this error before? My husband plugged his iPod into our PC for charging. After iPod showed charged on the screen, he unplugged it then got the firewire connection error and iPod will go into sleep mode so will not hold a charge now. If anyone has any fixes for this, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Kim

    I've used some needle nose pliers and i thought i had fixed them, yet I still receive the error when plugged in. I think i see a few pins that are bent backwards/broken in half. So i guess it's not repairable by my means, but am i able to go to an Apple store and maybe get some help? I mean, it's just bent pins in the dock connector; I would think they could help with that for maybe a small fee, yeah?
