I keep receiving an error -50 message when I try to sync my iPod to my PC.
For some reason, I am not allowed to make any changes to the music currently on my iPod.
Any ideas?

  • Error code -69 when trying to sync iTunes and iPod

    When syncing to iTunes, I receive error code -69, and will not complete the sync. Please help. Using Windows XP.

    Error -69 means the song/s that was selected for syncing is un-usable, there should be an error message that tell you which song is un-usable or corrupted. You have to re-download the song from the source or delete it.
    If re-download still does not work, convert it using iTunes to iPod version.
    Or select the song ,
    click Advanced on the top Menu
    Select Create iPod version.
    Then sync again
    Good Luck!

  • HELP! Error (-50) appearing when trying to sync ipod and shuffle

    The story so far....
    My ipod has recently been playing up (cutting songs short etc), at the same time I bought a shuffle online. When I recently plugged both of these into my itunes it's been playing up. Im not sure if this is just coincidence or if the shuffle/ipod classic are not working.
    Whe  trying to sync my itunes with either of my devices I get so far then they both come up with the unknown error (-50).
    I have been reading all the support from previous discussions and have tried the following but with no avail!!
    Removed and reinstalled itunes as per apple recommnedations
    removed all security protection from my computer
    Checked apple mobile device USB
    Restored ipod classic to factory settings (now no music on it!!!)
    I have been through "Help > run diagnostics" and it looks like the ipod is recognised sometimes and not others
    I have checked the SMART data:
    Retracts: 1
    Reallocs 8528
    Pending Sectors: 112
    Power On hours: 29
    Start/Stop: 4501
    Temp Min: 10c
    Temp Max: 56c
    I have all my music on an external hardrive. I have a PC laptop with Windows XP. I have previously had no problems with syncing itunes etc. Im worried about plugging my iphone 4 into my computer in case anything else goes wrong would I be able to?
    Previously some music was transferring on (manually) but then it slowed right down and gave me the (-50) error and when I disconnected the ipod (did not eject but never have done previously) all the music was gone!
    Please please please help before I lose the will!!!
    Many thanks in advance for anyone who knows their itunes/ipod inside out!
    JCC

    I have also done this:
    regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
        regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
        regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll
        regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll

  • After I download Itunes, when trying to sync Ipod, message says "needs newer version of mobile support, uninstall Itunes, and reinstall Itunes, and the same process starts all over again. why is that?

    Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

  • I am getting error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD

    Hi, I am running the latest Lion update, on my MB Pro, and keep getting the error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn a DVD. Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive. I see that many others have had the same problem, but relly cant seem to find anyone that has a solution that works.. Help

    It's an error thrown by Mac OS X's DiscRecording framework (as opposed to an error communicated by the drive's firmware). The message is (as you probably saw)
    "The burn failed because of a medium write error."
    Could this be a dirty lens issue in the drive.
    I don't think there's one single cause for this error. It might be a dirty lens. It might be something else. Not all recordable optical discs work well with all burners. Try a different brand.
