Error 8001 when trying to sync the software update applications

Today, I erased all of the settings and media on my iPod touch, not thinking it would remove the Software Upgrade iPhone apps I installed on it (though it did). Now, if I sync to restore my music (and the apps to it), the apps cannot sync. I get "unknown error (8001)". As far as I've googled and asked others, I haven't found anything on it. There's also nothing in the logs.
Music syncs fine, just these bloody apps that I paid 20 bucks for won't go back. And if I remove the package from my ~/Library/Itunes/Mobile Applications/ folder, iTunes doesn't even let me re-download it for free.
I've restored several times, and the error occurs each time. Obviously I have the most up-to-date iTunes and firmware version. Any suggestions?

When you restored the ipod, and itunes asks if you would like to restore from a backup, did you say yes? If so, restore the ipod again, and say no to the itunes backup. You will have to resetup all your settings on the ipod, but give it a shot.

    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. 

  • Can you help me overcome error (-50) when trying to sync the game "Phase"?

    My son purchased the game "Phase" from itunes for his 80 GB 5th gen Ipod. When trying to sync the game to it, we get the following error:
    Itunes could not sync the game "Phase" to the ipod because and error ocurred (-50).
    Can you offer advise how to be able to sync the game to the ipod?

    I first tried to restore the ipod and then re-sync, however, I got the same error.
    I then followed the instructions to create the appleipod.bat file method, then restore the ipod and then tried to re-sync and received the same (-50) error when trying to sync the game my son purchased. The only thing out of the ordinary from the istructions is that when I ran the appleipod.bat file, the black screen only came on for a brief second rather than a minute.
    Can you advise what else I can do so that he can get the game he purchased?
    Is there something wrong with his ipod?

  • TS1394 im getting an error message when trying to install the snow leopard application cd 2. need  help.

    im getting an error message when trying to install the application cd on my Imac os x 10.6.4   what can I do to solve this problem?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • 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.
