Error -50 when trying to sync using new 128 kBit setting for iPod/iPhone

Starting with iTunes 9.1 there’s a new option to convert songs with higher bitrates to 128 kBit/s AACs when syncing to an iPod/iPhone. I wanted to use that in order to save space on my iPhone since most of my songs are either 192+ AACs or 256+ MP3s. The problem is, that it will stop syncing with an error. It’s always the same song and the whole album containing it does not get synced to the iPhone. The dialogue box says:
iTunes could not copy <songname> to the iPhone, because of an unknown error (-50).
Of course I could try to re-encode this 320 kBit/s MP3 file before syncing, but I wondered if there’s a way without doing so. Has anyone had this type of error yet?
Thanks
Björn

Does anyone have a better solution? I am having this same error, and I really don't want to re-encode anything on my originals. I've done that in the past and I was unhappy with the resulting media in an ABX test. Why does iTunes have to be so picky. One of the songs is in my top 10 favorite that I listen to all the time, and as such I KNOW the song displays no obvious corruptions. AAC is the devil.

  • Windows 8.1, iOS 8.1.3, Itunes 12.1 64 bit, constantly get 'waiting for changes to apply' when trying to sync my new ipod touch

    Windows 8.1, iOS 8.1.3, Itunes 12.1 64 bit, constantly get 'waiting for changes to apply' when trying to sync my new ipod touch. Downloaded latest version f itunes, and ipod software up to date. Really frustrated I can't sync my music! Please can someone help me

    Im having huge issues after updating to 12.1 on Win 8.1  x64. Choppy playback and so on.
    Try this since it helps in most situtation :
    Remove itunes but keep library files. Then download it again and install it.
    Also most likely you will have to restore ipod touch. I restored my iPhone 5 to remove waiting for changes to apply and Error 54.
    my iPad air still isnt restored (cant do it now) and it sometimes does same like iPhone waiting for changes to apply. And gives error 54 but sync DOES GET COMPLETED.
    Also may sound stupid but try to use USB 2.0 Ports. Not 3.0. I have troubles when using 3.0

  • When I start my computer I get a "AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found message.  I also get an error message when trying to sync with iTunes that a backup session cannot be started.  How do I fix this?

    In the last few days when I start my computer, I get a box that opens with "AppleSyncNotifier.exe" Entry Point Not Found in the title.
    It says:  "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite3.dll.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and still get an error message when trying to sync my phone with iTunes
    "iTunes could not back up iPhone ####, because a session could not be started with the iPhone."
    The last time I tried to sync my phone (iPhone 3G S) with iTunes, everything seemed to freeze up at Stage 4 of the sync process. 
    Any advice????

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "SQLite3.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

    Hello aztecc16,
    The following articles provide some useful troubleshooting steps and information that can help get your iPod to work correctly with your computer.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
    Also, while the following article is tailored for iOS devices, it does contain some further information and troubleshooting should you still be having issues getting your iPod to work with your computer.
    1. Restart your computer.
    2. Install the latest version of iTunes.
    3. Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements. iOS devices require the following minimum version of Windows:
    Windows XP Service Pack 3
    Windows Vista
    Windows 7
    Windows 8
    4. Download and install any available software updates from Microsoft.5. Connect the device directly to your computer; not to an external USB hub. Find out if your computer has USB 2.0 ports.6. Check that the Dock Connector or Lightning Connector on both the device and cable are clean of any lint or other debris. If possible, connect your device using a different Apple 30-pin to USB cable or Apple Lightning Connector to USB cable.7. Disconnect other USB peripherals from your computer, with the exception of your keyboard and mouse. After disconnecting these peripherals, restart your computer, connect your device, and open iTunes.8. Connect your device to a different USB port on your computer.9. Use the Task Manager to stop some Apple Services:
    Launch the Task Manager:
    For Windows XP: Press Control + alt + delete on the keyboard.
    For Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8: Press Control + alt + delete on the keyboard. Then click "Start Task Manager". If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
    Click the Processes tab of the Task Manager. End each of these three processes by clicking in their names and choosing "End Process":
    iTunesHelper.exe
    AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
    iPodService.exe
    After ending these processes, reboot your computer, open iTunes, and test.
    10. Connect your device to a different computer to determine whether the issue is specific to your computer.

  • Error messages when trying to sync large files.

    My 8GB Touch seems to have problems syncing large files, namely movies. I get at least one of these three error messages when trying to sync:
    The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.
    Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The device is not connected.
    Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    It also isn't recognized in My Computer under Removable Storage. Any solutions to this problem? I'd really like to get my movies and TV shows synced.
    I have a 30GB iPod video that works just fine.

    I have been getting the same error as well, but I have 2 friends that own the same exact iPod touch model, and they don't have problems transferring 14 gigs in one session. If apple doesn't have a solution, I would recommend sending it in for repair, because it's an extremely annoying error that seems to not have any solution. The same thing happens on my brand new iMac as well.

  • Error -39 when trying to Sync iPhone (1 gen, 2.2)

    Hi All,
    A couple a days ago I started getting a *Error -39* when trying to sync my iPhone (1 gen, 2.2), any idea why is that and how do I sort it out? I've already tried rebooting my UMB and re-installing iTunes.
    Can anyone say what is the -39 referring to? Unfortunately Sir Google has no idea.
    Kind regards,
    Oskar

    Ok figured it out. Apparently I tried to sync a file that has been corrupted in some way. Clearing synchronization and setting up a new one resolved the problem.

  • Getting a error -4 when trying to sync

    getting a error -4 when trying to sync Ipad to PC after upgrade to 5.0.1

    I have the same issue and I believe we need to upgrade to a newer OS X.  I currently have OS X Leopard 10.5.8 and I purchased OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 for $19.99 so that I can install iTunes 11.1.  This will hopefully allow me to eliminate the error and sync the iTunes from my iPhone 4s and Mac Book. 
    iTunes 11.1 requires an OS X of at least 10.6

    get error message when trying to sync iphone to puter that says"cannot connect because apple mobile divise is not started? what do i do?

    Restart your computer and the iPhone. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
