Error (-4) during syncing

Hi,
as in topic, while i'm synicng my iPhone I get this prompt: "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. An unknown error occured (-4).
So far I read some solutions and I did change my permission for Music and all enclosed folders. It did not work.
Also I read that it might be a problem with server connection, but as far as I don't have any trouble downloading things from iTS I don't thing that's a case.
Do you have any ideas?
It happend unexpectedly. The only thing I've changed was that I erased all my music from iPhone and now i wanted to resync it, but I got the error....
iT v.11.2.1 (1)
64bit

Hello there, Wyrzezbiator.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for the very issue you're describing:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#4
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

"iTunes has stopped working" error message during syncing

I've downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and just started to download Podcasts. But now I get the error message during syncing....almost everytime. Is there a solution out there or update that I haven't downloaded??

Same problem here! Moreover, for some reason, the pictures in my iPhone 3GS somehow have been divided into 2 folders, Photos and Medialibrary. And when I open iPhone as a folder through the explorer I can see only the Photos folder, but cannot see the Medialibrary folder which stores the photos taken before updating/upgrading the iPhone and getting separated folders!!! What the hack with all of this?!!! When I connect iPhone to PC it automatically opens iTunes and starts syncronizing it, but at the process of OPTIMIZING the photos (and according to the number of photos it shows, I see that it tries to syncronize that invisible Medialibrary folder) the process suddenly stops and error message pops out Tried the sync test, tried the button DEBUG in that pop out message, but NOTHING HELPS!!! Also, when I open the Medialibrary in my iPhone, the screen get sblack all through scrolling it down, only the video clips are shown there... >.<
So, could you, apple developers, please, explain WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT?!!!!!! FIX IT! I am getting ****** of to spend hours at the computer and reading those lame advises which do not help at all! I have my own things to do except reading your support websites. And I payed for the product ready to use, but not a halfproduct which problems should further be solved somehow by users..

No internet while wifi is ok, error 13019 during sync, music cutting off...

Hi!
Up until yesterday, everything was fine in the land of my iPod, but all of a sudden
1) I lost internet access, wherever I try to connect
2) I tried an update today, all syncs fail with error 13019.
3) Music playback keeps shutting off randomly
4)any attempt to reinstall itunes for Windows 7 is met with a 64 bit etc error
I am seriously getting cheesed off with all this and have lost track of the number of times I have restarted the whole lot, cleared all wifi settings, renewed the lease etc etc.
Please help!
Thanks

Error 13019 Seems to be a serious issue. Does anyone have any other info besides what apple posted in the article that is referenced every time someone says 13019 error. That article is bogus! The only thing I have found that works is to restore my phone. It ***** and takes forever.
If the error was truly from a corrupt music file then after a restore, when I sync back all my music and podcasts I would still get the error. Seems to be a system problem with iOS4 that someone needs to get on right away.
Until then. Just restore your phone and wait.

Getting error message during syncing with itunes

1. Install itunes ver 10.0.1.22
2. Get app on my PC via itunes (e.g. Prince of Persia Warrior Within Free)
3. Connect iphone to PC
4. Select app in itunes
5. Apply changes (syncing with iphone)
*Actual result:* error message is displayed "The application "POP WW Free" was not installed on the iphone "Iphone_Crush" because an unknown error occurred" or "The application "POP WW Free" was not installed on the iphone "Iphone_Crush" because its resources have been modified" or "The application "POP WW Free" was not installed on the iphone "Iphone_Crush" because the application signature is not valid".
*Expected result:* app should be installed on iphone
Do you have any ideas how I can fix it?
Thanks.

Did it many times. Was helpless for me. Tried to backed up software/firmware to default and got another error message about that itunes can't finish installation Unplugged my web camera (don't think that it can help me) and shut down zone alarm pro (brandmauer). Default OS was installed as well and syncing with itunes works as well too. But guys I can found zone alarm in software compatibility list and yes I have up to date version of zone alarm and yes I configured it with itunes. So what happens with compatibility?

TS3833 ITunes error 50 during sync

I just got my new IPhone 4S (work phone) and set it up. After initially setting the phone up (and syncing it) I upgraded my ITunes and the phone to the latest versions (IOS 7.0.2). Now when I try to sync my phone I get "the ITunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-50)" Also - it says it can't sync the phone - same error code. The weird thing is - when we updated my (windows based) computer to the newest ITunes version - it wouldn't let us (me and the company IT guy) auto download and install. He had to download the update and then manually install the seperate files. I don't know if this is part of the reason why I seem to be having problems now or not. Please help!

Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

How can I fix waiting for changes to be made and error -54 during sync with 7.1.2

After updates my iphone5, ipad mini and ipad 3 to ios 7.1.2 cannot sync any of them due to error-54 or waiting for changes to be applied. Was able to sync all before this update. What is wrong? How can I fix?

Eject the device.
Close and relaunch iTunes.
If the problem continues, restart the computer and the device.

ITunes 11.1.1.11 errors out During SYNC with iPod Touch

I have an issue with iTunes 11.1.1.11 on my Windows 7 computer. When my iPod Touch, Generation 4 is connected and trying to select the Podcasts Tab in the iPod window with my iPod connected, iTunes locks up and freezes. The only way to get iTunes to do anything is to open Task Manager and end task for iTunes as it shows it as not responding.
I have tried to remove and clean install iTunes again and it does the same thing.

I'm having this issue on the following computers and devices:
2011 15" MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with these devices: an iPad 2 running 7.0.3 and a 4G iPod Touch running 6.1.3.
2010 13" MacBook Pro running Lion with a 3G iPod Touch running 5.1.1.
The problem started when I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2. So, at least for me the culprit seems to be iTunes.

Same thing has been happening to me after updating both iTunes and my iPhone today... keeps getting stuck at "Finishing Sync." I managed to fix it though... when it's stuck on "Finishing Sync", find your device in iTunes (if you have the preview pane open on the left side, you'll see it under 'devices'). Then click the 'Sync" button on the bottom right. It'll do a sync to your device again, but it won't hang on the last step anymore (at least it didn't for me). I hope that helps anyone else with the same problem!
Thanks! That fixed it.

Error during sync : Mobile Service

I am getting the following error during sync
Data processing at the server is still in progress. Try again.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

Hi,
I guess nothing is really wrong. It seems as if the server is till processing data for your device. If you sync meanwhile, the server wnats to tell you that it is currently working to prepare data fro you, if you resync in a while, you should get your complete data.
Cheers, Stefan

BBStorm - PocketMac stalls during sync, Error 1 Skipping, PocketMac support

Blackberry Storm - probably other devices too...
I had problems with PocketMac Sync stalling and in my efforts to fix it, I induced the Error 1 Skipping problem. I've also seen messages on various forums complaining about PocketMac's lack of response to support inquiries. Here are some tips.
PocketMac Support
You can fill in a support request at http://pocketmacsupport.net. People have complained that they never get a response. Not true. You need to go back to pocketmacsupport.net and view your trouble ticket. I sent my support request on 1/6 and had a reply on 1/8. If you want instant service, you can buy a support subscription.
Error 1 Skipping
This problem can happen even if the new driver is installed. I induced it myself by changing my Media Card settings. There is a knowledge base article that helped me at http://www.pocketmacsupport.net/?section=knowledge&action=view&article_id=48. The media card mass media settings have to be turned on in automatic mode. The article explains how to set it on the Pearl. It's similar on the Storm.
Sync stalls during contacts
This one was much more complex. Essentially, you have to wipe out sync files on your Mac by running SyncClean and you have to wipe out all the contacts on your device by running DataPurgeUI. Carefully follow the instructions sent to me by Steve in support (see below) IMPORTANT: Make sure you reboot your Mac as instructed.
I followed the instructions and I could repeatedly sync the device without it stalling. Then another glitch showed up. I found that I couldn't transfer new contacts from the Mac to the device and that sync would report missing contacts on my device and ask if I wanted to restore them. I also found that the system would quit unexpectedly when Tasks and Bookmarks options were added. THIS IS IMPORTANT: If you experience symptoms like these, repeat the steps where you run SyncClean and DataPurgeUI. Don't forget to reboot your Mac and your device. Run sync again and everything should run OK after that.
Here are the instructions Steve sent me:
Hello Tom,
I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with PocketMac.
Is any data syncing between the Mac and BlackBerry?
Are there any errors in your Sync Log (in the Window menu)?
Please try syncing only one option at a time. This will help determine where the problem is.
If you use BES BlackBerry Enterprise Wireless server in the office, please turn it off on the BlackBerry when syncing with the Mac. Generally, to turn off wireless synchronization, you get into the specific application (Address Book, Calendar, Tasks, or Memos), then click on the wheel and choose "Options", then scroll to the "Wireless Synchronization" option, and set that to "No" to turn it off and "Yes" to turn it back on. You then have to "Save" the setting.
Please use the following utilities. Both are located in your Home folder/Library/Application Support/PocketMacSyncManager/Additional Tools.
The first is SyncClean. Please open this application. You will need to click both "Clean SyncServices Files" and Clean PocketMac Files. Confirm each choice.
Please restart your Mac after using SyncClean (to avoid "Merging local records with device" error). When syncing, if the Sync Services debug window comes up, you must click ALLOW. DO NOT check the box to delete data.
The second is DataPurgeUI. This utility will help you purge data from your BlackBerry. I recommend choosing the one you are not able to sync.WARNING: This will delete ALL Calendars, ALL Contacts, ALL Notes, or ALL Tasks from your BlackBerry.
Please try using Advanced Preferences. You can try Overwrite Device, ignore events older than 7 days, and choosing specific categories. This works for calendar as well as contacts, etc. This should help avoid bad records/data.
If you are still having trouble, I would like to gather a PMSystemReport with your computer please. Run PocketMac as you would normally do. Regardless of the results pass or fail, I need the report please.
Getting a PMSystemReport from your computer.
1. With PocketMac SyncManager open.
2. Go to Help, System Report, this will create a ‘PMSystemReport’ on your
desktop. *The report will take a few moments to generate on your desktop.
3. Send the report over regardless of the results.
Please let me know if you have any other questions,
have a great day!

I have gotten my BBStorm to sync partially once, since then the pocketmac seems to be pretty worthless. I have un/re-installed and am getting the same results. Now, there is a new problem...the pocketmac "unexpectedly quits" and makes it to the same point each time. I have moved past the "stalling" and on to just flat out quitting.
I might take my mac's approach and just get an Iphone, quit this whole Crack-berry thing.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

ITunes could not sync ^0 to the iPhone Unknown Error(-19) during 2.1 update

iTunes could not sync ^0 to the iPhone Unknown Error (-19) during 2.1 update
Anybody getting this? On a Win XP iTunes 8/ iPhone 3G
Thanks for any help!

I got this message. After several hours of frustration...
I finally did a successful update by following various recommendations in this thread.
Maybe all or only a combination were necessary:
1) Deleted my backups. This DOES appear to be necessary, I noticed that the update was always failing when the update was going through the backup process. It was only after I deleted my backups that the update finally worked. To do this, in iTunes go to Edit > Preferences. Click on the Devices tab. Click on (select) the iPhone in the window. Click on the "Delete Backup" button.
2) Disable automatic syncing for the iPhone (don't know if this was necessary but it's one of the steps I took)
3) Make sure all your Apps are updated before trying the iPhone update. (Again I don't know if this was necessary but I did it). I updated my apps over wi-fi from the iPhone rather than via iTunes.
Important!!!!! After you run the update there will be no backup of your iPhone. You need to create a new one. To do this, right click (option-click) on your iPhone in the "Devices" list of iTunes. Select "Back Up" from the context menu.
Hope this helps!!!!

Error message: phone disconnect during sync

i am trying to sync my ical calendar to my iphone.
i repeatedly get the same error message " can not sync calendar because phone has disconnected during sync" even though my phone is def still connected as i see it in itunes.
any ideas?

That disconnection has something to do with your calendar database, and something in there that the sync process doesnt like. Take a look at this thread:
