Error -48 when syncing Ipod

When i try to sync my ipod it appears with error -48, help please? Also, couldn't get newest edition of itunes on my computer, so i used another computer to purchase a movie and a tv episode with so i could sync it to my ipod. It wouldn't allow me to sync them to my ipod, i believe it was error 1303 or something. And i couldn't burn a disc of them. Is there a way to get them off of there or on my Ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had this problem and I tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes. This didn't work, so I restored my ipod. It was working fine, but now it's not. Hope it works for you.

ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
-Plugging in your iPod to your PC
-Ignore the error messages
-Go to My Computer
-Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
-Right-click on it and select Properties
-Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

ITunes for Mac Error -50 when syncing iPod photo

OS X 10.5.4 iTunes 7.7 Getting error -50 when syncing photos to my 60G iPod Photo, music is synced but not alll checked photos. I have AppleTV and 2 iPhones that are synced with this computer and all 3 of those are synced properly. But this iPod is giving me fits. I have restored the iPod and re-synced to no avail. Are there any plists that are hidden that I can trash. I have read about keywords on photos causing it, but I have 19,0000 tagged photos and I can't look at each one for a corrupt keyword. I have turned on albums one at a time with no help. Seems like a sync is a sync iPhone, iPod, AppleTV. Why different results? I am trying to get the same photos as on iPhones (16G), and the Apple TV has all of my songs and Photos, so the keyword thing may be bogus info.

Hi! I am having the same problem...how did you fix it?
Thanks!

HUGE Error Message When Syncing IPod!!!

alright well first of all i have the new nano 4G ipod. Recently i added a TON of new songs, and apparantly i went over the size limit that my ipod could hold. In other words I had more songs on my itunes library than could fit into my ipod. I found this out when I tried to sync my ipod after adding all of these new songs. This is the error message I got: "ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
Now it gave me a temporary playlist before but i accidentally deleted so now I get this message. I really really really need help is there anything at all i can do I'm seriously going to die if this doesn't work soon =[

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection

Error message when syncing iPod

I have a 2nd Generation iTouch and just recently when I go to plug my iTouch into sync, an error message comes up. It says "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again." I have already removed and re-installed iTunes and am still recieving the same message. It was working fine at first but just not started to not be able to sync iPod to computer. What do I need to do?

Same thing occurred to me today. Just restore your iPod. That seemed to work for me. There were suggestions to uncheck the option to display artwork, remove iPod, then to check it again and sync the iPod, but that didn't solve the problem for me.

Error Message when syncing Ipod Touch

Just had my computer rebuilt, I have installed Itunes 10 but I keep getting an error message when trying to sync my ipod which is "You don't have enough access priveleges for this operation". Any ideas on how I can overcome this? Thanks in advance

You need to check your logon's access privileges in Vista. You may have to delete your current profile and recreate a new Admin profile to correct.

Unknown Error -208 when syncing ipod

Hey Folks having some massive problems with my new ipod. A couple days ago the ipod froze when i was on the bus, after that every time i hooked my ipod into my mac i got the error -208 can not sync ipod. The thing is the ipod was updating.
While trying to Trouble shot this i did the restore ipod with itunes 7.0.2, and guess what i am still getting the error. Even more annoying since i restored i can no longer sync my contacts and calendar. when i check the sync contacts box it tells me i have no contacts.
I have looked through the different solutions in the forums and none of them have worked for me.
Any Help much appreciated.

Thanks Kylene that solved the error message and the photo's not updating. For some Reason it even solved the calender's syncing problem.
I am still having the problem of itunes not liking my contacts though. Every time i try to check the sync contacts i keep getting that my address book has no contacts.
I have deleted the application support files, as some one suggestd in another thread, and that didn't work.
But at least 2/3 of the problems are solved.

Get error -69 when syncing iPod to Itunes

I just bought a new Ipod Nano (used to have an mini). I tried syncing it to my existing Itunes library but it said I had to upgrade to 7.0. So I did, and now when I try to sync it it doesn't copy it just gives me a -69 error "attempting to copy to the disk "Jo's Ipod" failed. An unknown error occured.
Im not sure if the problem is the new ipod, or the upgrade to the later Itunes...help. I was so excited about getting my new one and now it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Error Message When Syncing Ipod "There is no disk in the drive ... "

When doing a search on the internet for this error message, i see a few other previous posts on forums.ilounge.com with others having this issue with Itunes, but all I can find is someone talking about deleting the Itunes preferences files on my computer, and I did that, but that didn't help. I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas.
I get this annoying message EVERYTIME I sync my Ipod:
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive G:".
(Drive G on my computer is my Ipod when i have it plugged in). It doesn't seem to interfere with anything; all I have to do is click continue and the message goes away. But as I said, it's annoying, and I want it gone. I want to avoid reinstalling Itunes if I can due to the hassle of having to do so, plus previous posters on forums.ilounge.com said they did so an it didn't help. If someone can direct me to a previous string where this has already been discussed please post me the link. thanks!

Hi there
I am also getting this error message. One day my iPod was syncing fine, the next I was getting this error message. I have tried every conceivable drive letter, and still I get the message. i have also tried every drive on my computer, still the same message.
I have restarted and restored the iPod several times, no change to error message.
I shelled out £16.99 on a new sync cable, thinking that might help - but no, i still get the same error message.
In addition, my iPod screen displays the DO NOT DISCONNECT sign.
I seem to be able to perform a sync, but at the end, when iTunes says sync complete, the error message appears on my screen (incidentaly the header bar of the error message says: CorelLOMonitor.exe - No Disk) and the iPod screen continues to flash "Do Not Disconnect". This continues indefinatly and I have only been able to stop it by unplugging the iPod form the Sync cable.
I really would welcome some assistance with this problem.
Many thanks

Error message when syncing Ipod nano

Every time I have tried to sync my ipod the last week or so, I get an error message saying the disc cannot be read or written to or Error 14-. When I tried to restore the Ipod, it could not even do that and I got an Error 1439. Can anyone help?

There was a problem with my USB port connection. I was using a cheap multi USB port extender which had given me problems with my palm pilot as well. When I connected the IPOD directly to the computer I was able to restore and sync it.

Error message when syncing ipod classic 80 GB

After I connect my ipod to itunes and I try to sync it, an error message pops up saying "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)." What does that mean? Is there any way to fix this without having to restore the ipod?

I have a 160 GB ipod and I have the same problem. When I connect it says it doesn't recognize my ipod and suggests I restore it. I just did it with success, but I keep having these warnings as soon as I try to sync again.
some help please?

Unknown error -50 when syncing Ipod

Hi all, hope you can help. I have a Mac 10.4.11, and just got an 8 gb ipod touch yesterday. I am unable to sync my music and photos, I keep getting the following msg: "The Ipod Emy's Ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50)."

Can someone help me please??

It sounds like you might be experiencing the same problem I have been having:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19207453#19207453
Can you pinpoint the time when you started having this problem? I am wondering if Amazon has made some kind of change to their downloads that is causing a problem for the syncing process.

Unknown error -48 when syncing ipod

when i first plug in my ipod an error shows up -128.Then when I sync it an error -48 shows i need help

Zevoneer
Thanks for the tip - I may try it, as one of the many 48ers...
For what it's worth, here's my story: I have two 80G Video iPods, one with the problem and one (so far, touch wood, please don't let me tempt fate) ok. I only have 1 mac, 1 account, i.e. the same sytem for both of them.
Differences are:
One is black, the other white. I don't think that is the problem, but for the logically different it's the black one that works!
I got one for my birthday, the other for Christmas. The answer to the obvious question is, September 18th and yes I like chocolates. But I think there is a clue here.
The one I got in September, as soon as they were announced, took over a week to arrive as it found its way from the Far East to England. The second one arrived a day later, having come from the Midlands (England).
And guess what, the one from the UK is the one that is having trouble. I can tell there are other problems from the sheer volume of posts I have waded through, but there is definitely something wrong with some of the regional settings handling/builds. Regardless of duplicates, smart lists etc. Apple needs to look seriously at this now.
Sadly I wouldn't advise anyone to get one right now, which is a shame as they are great. Like everyone else I am stunned by how long this has gone on. So thanks for your tip, mate, I will probably give it a go as synching up 50G of music and video each time is a pain!
Come on Apple, sort it out!
