Error -50 when trying to add album art.

The only reason these is really peeving me because I literally spent around 5 hours putting album art to the 450+ albums on my iPod. This is what I did.
Because my friend advised me that syncing with the library is bad and the fact that i'm a super organization freak I added the album art directly to the tracks under iPod as opposed to editing the tags from my library and syncing. I figured since ID3 tags can be made straight to the tracks on the iPod, I could add the artwork. Turns out after I added all the artwork and through iTunes I could view it, they weren't showing up on my iPod, which is problem number one.
Half of my albums already had the artwork. I saw an option in iPod option under iPod>>Music to display artwork. I unchecked it, it said it was deleting artwork from iPod. I rechecked it, and it said it was optimizing, and the bar SLOWLY filled, about a minute in it gives me error -50 "The iPod cannot be updated" anybody know whats going on?

This usually indicates an input/output error.  Sounds like some data corruption where your printer drivers are installed.  See my FAQ*:

  • Skipping songs when trying to add album art

    Hello,
    I have a 60gb video ipod and am having a problem recently. Everytime I rip a CD onto itunes I have to add the artwork manually and when I do this, the songs (on only the new CD) on iTunes skip during the beginning 10 seconds of every song. As well, iTunes shows that it is downloading the album art, but it doesn't add anything.
    Can anyone please help.
    Thanks very much.

    Really Weird,
    Numbering is fine now but when I attempt to add artwork, it doesn't allow it and puts skips int the beginning of every song. This is not just when I play the song in iTunes but it actually writes the skip onto the song so that no matter what player I use, it skips. This is now obviously an iTunes problem, not iPod but any help would be great.

    You should always backup your iPad before ever doing anything major that coould result in a catastrophic loss is something goes wrong. You can then usually restore from the backup when your iPad has recovered.
    You should also be sure to have transfered any new purchases directly to your iPad to the iTunes app on your computer on a regular basis.

    I continue to get an error message when trying to add Header & Footer.  Therefore I am unable to add page numbers to my pdf.  Help!!

    Sounds like the PDF has an issue. You can try to save it, close, and reopen to see if that fixes it. If there are no tags or other markup, you could print it to a new PDF and try on the new file.

  • Getting Error -9672 when trying to add printer wirelessly

    Hi,
    I seem to be getting an error -9672 when trying to add my HP PSC 1410 wirelessly to my airport network. I've tried on my intel iMac and my mac book but I'm getting the same error. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
    ANY help is much appreciated.
    Matt.

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. A quick look at the iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility List doesn't show this particular model. This doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.

  • I'm trying to add album art to a CD I imported but it will not work. The album art will add to other albums but it won't show on the album. The CD is imported from Japan, didn't think that would be a problem. Does anyone know a solution?

    Vanguard,
    You are welcome.  As I gather you have now figured out, any of the other formats (AAC, MP3, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) can handle artwork just fine.
    Enjoy the music!

  • Error message when trying to add a printer  -50?

    I'm using an HP LaserJet 2100M, connected to my iMac G5 with a JetDirect 610 networking card through the ethernet port.
    Usually it works, but now when I've tried to reset the printing preferences (often necessary to get it to work) and go to choose a printer, I get an error message: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer.....error -50."
    I've tried restarting, and using the disk utility, but it says nothing needs to be repaired. Anybody have any suggestions? Do I have to reinstall, or will any updates help? I'm using 10.4.3
    thanks

    Use the process outlined here:
    HP Printers (and others) not on compatibility list and Airport Extreme Printing
    http://tech.ifelix.net/1300.html
    Using the Gimp-Print drivers for the HP PhotoSmart P1000 printer.
    The supplied HP C3180 drivers will not work when the printer is connected to an Airport base station.

  • Error message when trying to add printer

    First my DeskJet 1125c wouldn't print then I got my fathers old deskjet 845c which worked for a few days. Now that doesn't work either and when I try to add a printer, I get an alert box with this message:
    "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers.
    "server-error-service-unavailable."
    So now I can't print from any of my two HP printers, DeskJet 845c or Deskjet 1125c.
    Please advice

  • Bizarre error message when trying to add BT Vision...

    I am getting a bizarre message when trying to add BT Vision to my BT Infinity broadband which is due to install on Thursday.  I'm hoping it is only due to the fact the order has not completed and will be fine in a week.  I did speak to an "advisor" but I helpfully was told the line cannot be checked until the current order is complete and I'd obviously want to know if there will be any problem with me getting BT Vision prior to that!
    Has anyone else seen this error message and have any advice?  Note that I am definitely not in any trial and the 0800 number is now dead.

  • Error:-9672 when trying to add HP Photosmart C3180 printer.

    Printer: HP Photosmart C3180
    "An error occured while trying to add the selected printer. Error:-9672"
    Printer works fine if connected directly to my iMac. But, through "Airport Extreme Base Station", I get the error.
    Anyone with same printer having same problem? Anyone solutions?
    iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I found the same thing out yesterday and did the same solution.
    One issue should be noted. The quality of the print is much worse since we are not using the correct print driver. Works fine for standard unimportant text printing, but really can't be used for printing photos.
    Connect the printer directly to the computer USB and print a photograph using the real print driver, then connect wirelessly using the above method and print the same photo. The difference is dramatic.
    It also seems to overuse black ink when hooked up through the Airport, and the printer light blinks for a while after printing is done.
    Anyway, I plan on leaving it hooked up wirelessly for convenience sake, but when good quality is needed I will attach it directly to the USB port.
    You can verify my findings and let others know if you find the same thing I found.
    Good luck, and lets hope there are more compatible printers available in the future.

  • Ipod cannot be updated (-50 error) when trying to upload album art

    For some reason, when I check the "Display album artwork on your ipod" box, I'll end up with an -50 error, even though the album art is already in iTunes and I can upload songs/photos/videos just fine. Latest version of iTunes and iPod FW.
    I've tried unchecking/rechecking the box, ejecting the ipod, restarting the ipod, itunes, Windows, to no avail. Hoping it's just an annoying problem with a simple solution.

    disconnect your ipod without ejecting it using itunes. just unplug it, and all the artwork should be there
