Error message (-48) when trying to sync my ipod

when I try to sync my ipod 30gb 6th gen with itunes on my mac, I get the message: the iPod "hamish edmondson's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48).
I have tried resetting the ipod, restarting my computer, reinstalling itunes etc.
I can restore the ipod and it syncs the first time, but then not again, which means I have to restore and then re-transfer almost 30 gigs of music everytime I want to add one album.
Has anyone had this error, know how to fix it?
I've searched the error number on google and found nothing
please help

    how do i solve error message 13019 when trying to sync my iphone?

    I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps.  I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps.  I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

  • I am getting error message -50 when trying to sync my 80gb ipod classic on windows 8.1

    This just started last night. Itunes made me restore my ipod for some reason and then when I tried to transfer all of my songs this occurred. The transfer always started quick but then when I get into the 500-700 song range it slows down drastcially (almost 2 minuted to transfer 1 song) then i get that error message -50 ipod cant be synced. IDK what could cause this but am hoping other people are having this problem and have solved it because I need to get it resolved. I need my ipod back!!

    I have tried reintalling itunes and the same problem occurs as well deleting my temp files as someone instructed me to do. Still having the same problem.

  • Error message, 0xE8000065 when trying to sync with iTunes. HELP!!!

    I bought a new iPhone 4S, but when I try to connect it to iTunes, I get an error message, 0xE8000065, or sometimes 0xE800001. I want to sync it but nothing I've tried (restarting the services, restarting the machine, reinstalling iTunes, erasing lockdown folder) works. Can anyone help me?
    P.S. I saw a video in youtube explaining how to try to connect it using recovery mode, and iTunes did in fact detect the iPhone and asked me to update and restore. I did not want to as I already have some apps and pics but I went through it anyway. Since it was taking a LONG time, I went to get something to eat: when I came back, the iPhone had not been restored, and it still wouldn't connect to iTunes. I'm guessing the restore/update failed? In any case, how can I fix this issue?

    "itunes could not connect with the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (11556)."
    This error is associated with ringtones, are you trying to sync a ringtone, purchase a ringtone...need more info...
    I have also an error message saying it cannot sync and error message number 0050.
    Are you on Windows XP? Is this the error message...iTunes displays -50 error message? If so, follow these directions:

  • Error -50 & -69 When trying to sync music Ipod Classic 160gb

    Hi everybody,
    I recently installed an x64 version of Windows 7 Ultimate. I have an Ipod Classic 160gb (late 2009), and i am trying to sync it to my itunes library. However, everytime i do so, it will copy across a few songs (a different number everytime, no more than 500 though) my Itunes freezes up (as well as the ipod). After a while, once it "comes back to life" i get either "Itunes cannot copy {Song Name} to {Ipod Name} Ipod. An unknown Error Occurred (-50)." or "Itunes cannot copy {Song Name} to {Ipod Name} Ipod. An unknown Error Occurred (-69)".
    Here is what i have tried:
    Enable Disc Use - No Luck
    Uninstall / Reinstall Itunes + Rebuild of Library - No Luck
    Uninstall Itunes, reinstall + Rebuild Library on Previous version (9.2) of Itunes - No Luck
    Kill APSDaemon.exe While synching - No Luck
    KIll all other Apple Services + Processes - No Luck
    Uninstall Antivirus - No Luck
    Reformat Ipod - No Luck
    Create a Virtual x32 environment of Windows 7, and recreate my library using the latest Itunes - No Luck
    Virtualize a Mac environment, and try on there - MAC OSX doesn't allow virtualization on a Windows "Base" (what a piece of ****) - SO, no luck
    Media Monkey Transfer - freezes up like a dead body, then just crashes.
    Manually transfer - Work sometimes, doesn't work otherimes. Seems to be Random.
    I know you are all going to say "oh, the song it get stuck on is corrupt". Well, it isn't. The song plays fine in Itunes if i go to investigate. When i go to my music "source" it is an actuall file, with an actual file size. I can also play it with VLC media player as well.
    Sync with my Dad's IMAC - Success. My Dad has 5.5gb of music (more than 500 songs). Although Ipod did get seem to get stuck on a couple of songs, it succesfully sync'ed
    Use Sharepod - Success (although, i have 2940 folders, and sharepod will only allow me to transfer one folder at a time) - So, No Luck
    I know the Ipod is fine because if i Sync via MAC or Sharepod, it will play music fine.Also, before the installation of the x64, it sync'd fine. It would be silly that an Ipod dies because i change my Windows Installation.
    Another thing, while in the act of Synching, the IPOD screen displays "Synchronising", then, it will just go to "Connected". On the MAC it stayed as "Synchronising" the entire time.
    Basically, i am at my wits end. I have tried everything i can think of.  I now have a very expensive paper weight, which is ******** me to tears.
    If anybody has any solutions, or ideas, i would love to hear them.
    Thanks,
    Lachlan

    You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also  done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
    You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
    In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
    Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other  USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
    Have a nice day!
