Error message when syncing iPhone to iTunes

I've tried three times now to sync my iPhone with iTunes. The software is the most updated version, but each time I get an error message: "The iPhone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)." Too vague for me to figure anything out. Is this a problem on my end or is iTunes experiencing a temporary glich?

I'm having the same problem, except I used to have 12 GB of music on my iPhone that is now gone, and the same disc space now says "Other", but there is no music on the iPod. I've tried the 5 R's, is it a glitch? I didn't have this problem until I updated yesterday. Everytime I sync, it tells me there is not enough space to download the music. What is the "Other" category? I can't find any info on it at all. Also, I am NOT a computer guru, I'm a nurse, so be gentle!

  • ITunes error message when syncing iPhone 5 w/MacBook Pro

    I have been syncing my iPhone 5 (32GB) with my MacBook Pro for 2.5 years and still had about 2-3GB empty (I know, should allow more free space).  Suddenly, having added nothing except maybe a couple new events in Calendar, I'm getting an iTunes message when I try to sync saying that it cannot sync as there isn't enough memory -- with a note in parentheses that an additional 13+GB are needed).  I thought I'd seen this addressed here before, but in searching for an answer, I wasn't able to pull anything up.
    I have shut down my computer and rebooted several times, but doesn't change anything.  Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Error Message When Syncing iPhone -Contacts

    I have been using my iPhone for some time now and just recently I have had this issue with my new 16GB phone.
    When I put it in to sync I get the following error message: itunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because the iPhone is disconnected.
    The phone is not disconnected and I have not made any changes to my contact information. I tried making a change just to see what would happen, but it made no difference. I am syncing to my iMac.
    Has anyone else had this issue? How did you resolve it?
    Thanks for your help!

    I had a sync problem with my Iphone and my Asus maximus extrem mainboard.
    Description: The Iphone started to sync but unable to sync music : error message "device exipred"
    I did not yet find the answer but only a workaroud as it is probably a firware bug either on Iphone or Asus.
    Change de usb port speed in 1 insted of usb 2.0 in the BIOS of your motherboard for the sync time.
    Hope this will help other to make it work.

    message d'erreur " le périphérique à expiré"
    Je n'ai pas trouvé la solution à ce problème qui est soit un souci de firmware Iphone ou un souci de firmware Asus.
    J'ai trouvé un Workaroud pour synchroniser l'iphone , il faut passer la vitesse de l'usb en 1 à la place de usb2
    dans le bios le temps de la synchro.
    en espérant que ça sera utile à d'autres

  • Error message when syncing Ipad in itunes: unable to load data class

    Hi there:
    I t tried posting this question on the ipad community but no luck.
    What happened last night I was trying to sync/backup my ipad 2 running ios 5.0.1 with itunes 10.5 (?) for over an hour.  It stuck on step 2 of syncing ipad and it's been on that for a while.  when I get to step two, after it asks me if I want to sync my purchased on my ipad to itunes, I click ok.  then i keep getting the follow error message: itunes was unable to load data class information from Sync services.  reconnect or try again later.
    I keep trying and this message keeps popping up on step two;
    then in itunes when I click on my ipad under devices, itunes will freeze.
    I can't figure out what happened.  when I previously synced I had no problem and it was quick.
    I even tried to download itunes again and "repair" it but still same problem.
    Please help.
    thanks

  • IPod Error message when Sync'ing using itunes

    Every time I use itunes to sync my music onto my 5th generation iPod it does about... 50 files then i get the error message:
    'attempting to copy to the disk "DARROL'S iPOD" failed because the disk could not be read or written to'
    A few times i've managed to get all the music onto it but mostly I get that error message. I've done a full restore on the iPod twice but it still happens.
    I resorted to using the Winamp plugin to transfer the music and that seems to work a lot better but it doesn't seem to give album art, would like to use iTunes to do it, any help would be good.

  • IPad 2 gives an error message when sync'ing to iTunes on iMac

    The iMac where iTunes sits gives an error message that the iPad is sync'd to another iTunes library "do you want to erase and sync?" we can get rid of the error message saying "cancel" but it still won't sync and the screen is on all night with this error while charging. Anyone have any ideas? Never sync'd "around..." to another library!!

    Is there any chance you accidentally "deauthorized" your iTunes account?  Make sure your account is authorized with your Apple ID.  Unless you have a faster USB on your Mac, you're better off charging your iPad with the supplied 10 W wall charger.  If you sync under your current circumstance you will lose you apps and synced content, which means you'll have to redownload your apps, etc. 

  • Error message when syncing iPhone 5

    "iPhone cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-50)".
    Worked fine last week.  This has never happened before.
    Any notion?
    Thanks!

    On iTunes un-select sync photos and then apply.  Next click on sync.  That should allow a sync to occur.  Now go back and try to do a sync with photos selected.  Appy first then Sync.

  • ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

    My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
    If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
    -Plugging in your iPod to your PC
    -Ignore the error messages
    -Go to My Computer
    -Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
    -Right-click on it and select Properties
    -Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
    You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!
