Error message when I try to sync ipod

itunes says it cannot sync to the ipod because there's no room on the ipod. I restored the ipod and there's nothing on the ipod, but itunes won't sync.

You cannot sync the entire iTunes library if the total size of your library is more than the capacity of your iPod. If that is the case, you need to create one or more playlists. Put songs on the playlist(s) so that the total size of all the songs (repeated songs are counted only once) is less than the capacity of the iPod. Then, on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes, set it to +Sync Music+ from +Selected playlists+ and only check the box for the playlist or playlists you created (for the iPod).

  • HT1386 I get an error message when I try to sync my iPod touch - "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    I recently installed a new hard drive on my PC, downloaded iTunes, updated the software on my iPod touch and now I get this error message when I try to sync:  "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  It never did this before, whether it's the upgrade in software or something in iTunes, but it's very frustrating, since I'd like to add more things to my iPod.

  • I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

    I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

    I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
    I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
    Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

  • I keep getting an error message when I try to sync my ipad or iphone to my iMac:  "The iPad (or iPhone) cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-50)."  What is this about?  Thanks

    I keep getting an error message when I try to sync my iPad or iPhone to my iMac, as follows:  The iPad "_________" cannot be synced.  An unknonw error occurred (-50).  Does anyone know what this is about - thanks.

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

  • ITunes error message when I try to sync

    The ipod -Name- is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?
    This error message shows up on my computer when I try to sync. I do have iTunes on my laptop and on my desktop. Could this be the problem? I already backed up my iPod. But what I'm worried about is all my pictures on my ipod if I restore my iPod will they all be deleted? See, all I really want to do is take some cds I bought and put their music on my iPod. What do you think I should do?

    You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library. If you sync the iPod to another library, such as another computer, iTunes will erase the iPod.
    Just continue to sync with the other computer.
