I have a 27" iMac with the latest version of iTunes. I tried restoring my iPod and even removing and re-installing iTunes. What eventually worked for me was plugging into my PC and restoring/reformatting it to work with my PC. I don't know why it wouldn't work with my iMac, but now it seems to be working.

I had to restore my system (Windows 7). I deleted and recreated my profile and copied all my music back into my profile as well as all of the AppData settings for iTunes. All of my music and playlists are fine and all of my settings are fine.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would recommend uninstalling iTunes altogether, and then installing the newest version from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Itunes says 'the ipod cannot be synced A duplicate file name was specified?

it says this - 'the ipod cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified' every time i plug in my ipod, i have not downloaded a new itunes recently, nor do I have a new ipod, this came from completely out of the blue.

The solution i found to this problem is have windows hard drive recovery tool scan and repair the hard drive on you ipod. To do this, you need to configure itunes so it does not open when you plug in you ipod. Next, plug in your ipod, for windows 7 user a pop up should come up asking to scan and fix device. click yes and give it some time. after the tool in complete unplug you ipod, open itunes, plug your ipod in. if you still get the message, click restore, and start this process on more time. If you do not have windows seven or this pop-up does not appear manually go to you hard recover tool and have it scan your ipod. then follow the rest of the process.

Error Message- Duplicate File name was specified

I am trying to purchase and download some music for the past month now and am unable to do so. When I go to buy something it says "Could Not Purchase "song". A duplicate File name was specified.
Then Below it says
There was an error in the Itunes Store. Please Try Again Later.
And when I go to authorize computer I get an error message stating "There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer."
Then below it says
Try doing a repair install on ITunes from the "add or remove programs" control pane.
I did this and am still having the same error messages that I was having before. This is getting extremely irritating and I would really appreciate if someone could help me get this figured out!
Thanks in advance!

I DID IT! I FIXED IT, FINALLY!!! At least it worked for me. Here's what I did: from Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features/Uninstall or Change Program, I right-clicked on iTunes and selected Repair. After that ran and completed, I went to Computer/Local Disk (C:)/Program Files. From the list, I right-clicked on iTunes and selected “Run as Administrator.” After that I tried to purchase music from iTunes, and it worked! I hope this makes sense and works for you. Good luck!

Can't synch iPod classic to iTunes after updating iTunes. a duplicate file name was specified.

I can't synch my iPod classic. "A duplicate file name was specified." I tried on two different computers on which it had previously worked fine.

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.

Hi stelincs,
You should be able to change the name of your iPod classic in the iTunes application. Here's how:
Change the name of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997
Use your computer
Connect your device and open iTunes.
Click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.) If you don't see your device, choose Hide Sidebar from the View menu.
Next to the picture of your device, double-click the name of your device.
Type the new name for your device and press Return on the keyboard.
Sync the device (press Sync in the bottom right corner of the screen).
