Error (-23) on my itunes after syncing but my ipad2 is working well

Hi, I've recently started receiving the error messages for error -23 after syncing my ipad2 on my trusty laptop. Every single time I finish syncing, it pops up but the thing is the device is perfectly synced with the setting that I made before syncing. There are files that iTunes cannot find and I can validate the they really cannot be found because I've deleted these files. I just haven't bothered removing them from my library. Other notifications pop up for these files that can't be found. Other than that, no problems, no hang ups, nothing weird.
FYI, I don't think this is a hardware problem, the device is two months old, lady used and well cared for. No water damage, never dropped. It's my baby.
Frankly, I just want to get rid of this notification so I can go on with my peaceful life.
Thank you!

Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

  • How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto?  I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!

    I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!
    I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto.  However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD. 
    So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info.  That means no syncing....
    I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
    I am puzzled.  I appreciate for your advice and help.
    Thank you!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
    And then on the right-hand side :

    You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

  • Itunes says "syncing" but ipod does not.  2nd gen nano

    My wife has a 2nd gen nano that will not sync. Itunes says "syncing" but ipod does not, you can scroll through the menus and use it like it was not connected. When I first connect it, the do not disconnect sign appears then after a few seconds the main menu. She has used it for 2 years and it worked fine until today.

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 and review the instructions for correcting the error 1015.
    However, this error is generally related to attempt to downgrade iOS.

  • Is there a way to sync past messages from my old iPhone to my iPhone 5 ? I'm aware of the iTunes backup syncing but how would I transfer that between two devices ?

    Restore from old iPhone backup can past all data including messages to your new iPhone. Or you can resfer to this iPhone 4/4S SMS to iPhone 5 transfer tutorial. It shows you how to transfer messages only.

  • My wife has an NOKIA E71 and she syncs with iSync. Everything works well, but when she adds a meeting on her phone, it does appear on the computer after syncing. Anyone? We have an iMac 24" with the latest MAC OS.

    Hello Kerrigaj,
    After a re-install of OS X 10.5.8 uninstalled the E71 in iSync and moved it out of the bluetooth-device list first and completely re-installed it using the bluetooth manager (SystemPreferences/Hardware).
    No extra thirdparty-software involved and ever since no problems.
    Goodluck - hope it works for you.

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • I've tried updating iTunes for Windows but it won't work. I removed iTunes and downloaded the new version (10.6.1.7) but it won't load. It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.

    It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
    Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

    What do you mean by, "actualize"?

  • IPod screen shows no songs after sync, but iTunes says they are there

    After syncing my iPod to my iTunes, the menu on the iPod shows no songs. iTunes says they are there and so does Winamp, but I can't see them by navigating the menu.
    The only things that changed since my last sync are some ratings and a new playlist.
    This has happened to me before. Usually it is resolved by rebooting my PC to make sure the iPod drivers are loaded. I tried rebooting my iPod (holding down Menu and Select), but that didn't do it either. I would like to avoid having to wipe the iPod and re-copy everything. And since this has happened before, it will probably happen again.
    I can't upgrade my iTunes to the latest version because Apple stopped releasing W2k versions. Thanks in advance.

    I have that issue also. I ripped a few cd's, attached the ipod, synced it, but my libraries disappeared. "About" says there's 20+ gigs of something on there, but nothing in any menu. I scanned the ipod with Panda, no malware. I took the ipod to Geek Squad, and the Head Geek suggested reformatting from windows, and then reinstalling software with itunes. Did that, hour later, same situation. 20 gigs of nothing, even though itunes reported it had transferred over 6,000 mp3's. Ipod just isn't recognizing anything on it as music, but it worked fine up until the re-sync, and I hadn't done it for awhile, so I am now guessing there's a bug in the newest software, and it isn't a hardware issue at all.
    On another note entirely, does anyone else find it strange that Apple's discussion page spell checker regards ipod and itunes as misspelled words?

  • I have deleted all photos off my ipad but it is still showing 5 gig of photos in itunes after syncing

    I have deleted all the photos in my ipad and it is still showing 5 gig of photos in itunes even after syncing.

    I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.

  • Music sort order not the same as iTunes after syncing

    iTunes 10.5.2.1 and iPhone 4S 5.0.1
    Firstly, this is NOT in relation to smart playists, or the smart playlist bug already identified.  I'm having the issue with the fundamental level playlists (ie non-created:  Artist etc) within iPhone.
    Can sort in iTunes however I want.  However when synced to iPhone some (not all - seemingly random) artists are out of order compared to iTunes, and some even appear in 2 places.  An example would be Alice Cooper where I have changed "Sort Artist" to Cooper Alice and thus appears in "C" in iTunes.  However appears in "A" in iPhone.  But in other cases Alanis Morissette, where I have also changed "Sort Artist" to Morissette Alanis & appears correctly in "M" in iTunes, appears under both "A" and "M" in iPhone - ie this artist & all songs by this artist appear twice:  under both "A" and "M".
    So the problem does not manifest the same way every time.  Near I can guess it seems to occur on songs which I imported with additional information under "Album Artist" - my iTunes is all sorted by "Album by Artist/Year" & this seems to override the information in "Artist" & sort by this first.  So for instance you would have Artist=Alice Cooper, Album Artist=Alice Cooper, and Sort Artist=Cooper Alice.  Even though you have specified that you want to sort by "Cooper Alice", the sorting is based on Album Artist "Alice Cooper" first and it appears in "A".  Deleting the Album Artist info causes iTunes to correctly re-sort into "C".  However iPhone still retains under "A" (or both "A" and "C") after syncing.
    So perhaps this is a sync glitch rather than a sort glitch with iPhone?
