Error (-50) occurs as soon as iTunes starts updating my iPod

Hi.
Whenever I attach my iPod to my PC and iTunes opens, a window asks me to put the "iPod name" as it would do if I was using my iPod for the first time. After that a message says an error occured and then any music I tray to transfer to iPod fails to do it, and the former songs on my iPod are not shown at the iPod icon on iTunes.
I´ve already tried the "5R's" and many other things, such as trying to use some different versions of iTunes and iPod softwares. I would really appreciate if someone colud help me solving this problem. My iPod is the 20Gb Photo.
I will be waiting anxiously for an answer. By the way my name is Fernando and my email is: [email protected]
King Regards.

Disk write -69 generally refers to a specific file in your iTunes, that is not able to be copied to and played on your iPod. Try updating the iPod and watching the progress at the top, and see which file(s) is/are causing the issue. Try erasing them from your iPod library (click on the file and hit the delete button on your keyboard) and then try to update your iPod again. If you feel like you're getting the issue on more files than you ought to be, or if it doesn't get past the first file every time you erase the file, you might want to try following the steps in this article, and then updating the iPod again.

Also, as a side note... on Toshiba's, the iPod generally performs better if the iPod is connected to the USB port on the side of the computer than one of the ones in the back.

    Hi
    So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
    When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
    Thanks.

  • My car stereo, an Alpine CDE-121, won't recognize my iPod mini.  I get an Error 02 message indicating that I need to update the iPod's software, but iTunes tells me that the software is updated.

    My car stereo, an Alpine CDE-121, won't recognize my iPod mini.  I get an Error 02 message indicating that I need to update the iPod's software, but iTunes tells me that the software is updated.

    Is this particular car stereo stated as being compatible with your iPod Mini?  If you aren't sure, check the manufacturer's support site or give the car stereo manufacturer a call.

    Sync your iPhone to iTunes to copy the iTunes purchases to the computer.
    Or iTunes prefs > Store.
    Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases then click the Cloud icon after the song names to download them.

    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Otherwise provide informat at to what happens when yuo try to sync. Errot messages?

  • I cannot get Itunes to update my IPod.  I am at a loss

    I am a seasoned IPod user. I just transitioned to a new PC and cannot get Itunes to update my Nano IPod. I have downloaded new versions of ITunes and updated my IPod software. ITunes sees the IPod but does not transfer any songs or playlists---help

    What the user before me is trying to say pretty quickly is, Be sure that the settings in iTunes are set to update your iPod.
    1) Plug in your ipod
    2) Click the button with the ipod on it, about fourth from the right at the bottom (bottom right corner)
    3) Manual (choice 3) is probably selected, Select automatically update all songs instead (choice 1).
    Does this help? If not, let me know.

  • How do I fix Registry Errors that occured during Install of iTunes latest version?

    Hardware/Software info:
    Acer Aspire lapton 5535-5050
    Vista Home premium OS
    2 GB Ram
    250 GB Sata HDrive
    AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core QL-64 bit processor
    I recently installed the latest version of iTunes vers. 11.x per the iTunes update process. Afterwards
    itune 11 worked ok aside from the totally different startup or Store page looking so different.  Later
    I tried to burn a disc from my current iTunes Library and found out my CdRom drive had been disabled
    due to registry errors during the iTunes update process.  The end result was to get my CdRom drive
    back in operation, I had to due a System Restore (using Vista home premium) back to a date before
    the iTunes update.
    It was a successful Restore and my CdRom drive is now working again but iTunes will no longer run
    due to missing files not found during attempts to start iTunes.  It tells me to reinstall iTunes again.
    1. Do I Uninstall the partial copy of iTunes listed on my Program list? (appears to iTunes 10.07.21)
       first or just do an install of iTunes 11.x from the Apple iTunes web site?
    2. What is the risk of the new iTunes causing Windows registry errors and disabling my CdRom again?
    3. What is the risk of other registry errors from the new version of iTunes?
    Brad

    I had the same problem after installing version 11, my CD/DVD drive was disabled/uninstalled completely.
    I restored version 10.7 to get my iTunes functionality back using a backup i created before the upgrade.
    Unfortunately, not being a PC wiz, I had to contact DELL support to fix the problem as a simple reinstall of the drivers failed to fix the problem. I am fortunate to still have hardware support as the PC is only 7 months old. DELL thankfully were fully aware of the problem and deleted the "Upper & Lower Filters" from my registry ("how to" available from a Google search for anyone confident enough to do this alone).
    I still get the request to reinstall iTunes software on starting itunes, but for now I just click OK and move on and iTunes works fine (using version 10.7). I will probably reinstall 10.7 after doing another backup, but for now I don't need to and can do without the added grief.
    DELL said this was a common problem that is easily fixed, but as yet are unaware of any further issues.
    I have an Dell Inspiron 620, running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS with 6GB Ram
    Hope this helps, if nothing more than assuring you that you are not alone.

  • When I click update on Itunes to update my IPod Touch it says an error occured.

    When I update my Ipod it says that an error has occured. It has done that twice.

    If y are updating via Settings>General>Softwar update:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try connecting the iPod to your computer and updating via iTunes
    If you are updating via iTunes what does the error message say?

  • HT1926 I keep receiving a message after attempting to download itunes on my new computer. It states that an error has occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured. Help please!

    I have tried to download iTunes five times this afternoon to my new computer using both Fire fox and Explorer. Each time after it downloads I receive a message stating that an error has occured before the installer was able to be completed. I turned off the pop-up blocker like support suggested and I am running Windows 8.1, does anybody know how to fix this?

    Follow the instructions of tt2 given in: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822086

  • "error has occured"...after 2.0 update

    my itunes said it couldnt connect to my iphone after i updated to 2.0. it said "error has occured"
    note: my iphone screen still has the picture of the usb plug pointing towards the itunes logo
    what do i do?

    Glad to hear it's working for someone but since I tried everything, ITUNES doesn't recognize my iphone at all. Is there some other function or link to where I can get ITUNES to know to look for the upgrade? I'm afraid that without it seeing the iphone, it won't try to look for the update...
    And sigh, yes. I did try uninstalling and reinstalling the software. Thank gods I made a backup copy on another drive of everything.

  • A serious error has occurred or how the 7.1 update ruined my life.

    Ever since the 7.1 update to Premiere, I've had nothing but problems. The desktop app fails to update for every update, and appears to think it's out of date when it's not and then the icon in the menu bar will be grayed out until I reboot 3-4 times. The "workaround for that seems to be to force quit and uninstall the "previous" version and then download the "new" version from the creative cloud web portal. This wouldn't be that large of an issue, but it happens almost every other day.
    Then once I can actually open Premiere, the real fun with errors begins. I have received the "A Serious Error has occurred" screen on 30-40 (not exagerating) delightful occasions in the past couple of weeks, with no real details of what is actually wrong. It usually occurs while trying to fix an issue where my multi-clips aren't showing the audio waveforms in the sequence, but it has happened plenty of other mysterious ways. This is even more complicated, because it's happening on multiple systems and one of them isn't even using the 7.1 update and another is offsite and using different hardware. The same annoying error occurs across them all.
    Another super cool "feature" is that Mercury Playback Engine capabilities come and go as they please. Sometimes they work for Premiere or Media Encoder or After Effects, but sometimes they just pick one for that given day and don't let the other apps playback. All of the systems GPU were working just fine in 7.0.1, but now wtf Adobe?
    My system specs are varied, but the general idea is this:
    Mac Pro systems (4,1-5,1) 2.3GHz - 2.93GHz
    16-24GB RAM
    Nvidia QuadroFX 4800, Nvidia QuadroFX 4000, Nvidia GeForce 9800
    OS X 10.7.4 and 10.7.5
    A few of the systems have AJA Kona 3 and Kona 3G
    Most of the media is being accessed across 10gigE to a ProMax Platform, and the project files are local on SSD's.
    I have the bug report from Apple, so if that helps let me know so I can get that info to someone who cares.

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm still planning on attempting the 10.8.5 install on one of the affected systems. In the process, I have uncovered a new issue related to the CUDA acceleration not being there at all on a system that used to have it. That particular Mac Pro system only has a GeForce GT120, but the point is that in CS6 and CC, the CUDA was working until this latest update. The other systems have QuadroFX 4000 and 4800 cards, so those seem to be getting CUDA playback, however it is intermittent.
    As for the OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to install 7.1... That is correct. The Creative Cloud Desktop app was failing updating itself (as it still does on every "update") quite a bit, I don't remember any specific messages, but I did see somewhere along the process that I wasn't able to install the Premiere 7.1 update with my 10.7.4. One of the systems here is have a ton of issues with AE, but that's a whole new thread I think. I will attach some of those errors for kicks, but all of these problems occured with the introduction of the virus that is Creative Cloud into our working environment.
    I am working with a wide variety of media: R3D, 5D, F55 4K XAVC, Canon C-300, XDCAM EX, FS-100, ProRes. The projects that I've been having the most issues with lately has the Canon C-300 .MXF media mixed with 5D h.264 as a 2 camera multi-cam set up. The other project that was giving me a lot of trouble right when I installed the Premiere 7.1 update was R3D and F55 4K XAVC. Both issues were the "A Serious Error has occurred. Premiere will try and save your project" vague warning. I usually only lost work since the last Autosave 20 minute interval, but sometimes that is a lot of work and when it happens 10 times in one day, that is unacceptable.
    Here are some answers to some more of those questions:
    What other software are you running?
    These are all possible conflicting software (IMO) that are installed:
    Final Cut Studio 3
    Avid Symphony 6.0.3
    Cinema 4D R14
    RED CineX
    Davinci Resolve
    Nuke7
    Adobe CS5.5 and CS6 are still installed
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    Yes. Trapcode Suite, Primatte, lots of scripts in After Effects. Lots of codecs installed from Sony, Avid, RED, Canon, etc.
    I think I've answered most of the other questions in this thread, but hopefully that helps. I will update when I'm able to get 10.8.5 installed. I suppose a clean install of 10.7.5 perhaps might have the same chances of fixing this as well.
    Here is the Premiere Error:
    Here are a series of AE errors, that might need their own thread:
