HT1923 Ipad/Iphone - unknown error/internal device error

Hey all
I am having troubles with my new Ipad and Iphone. Both are new items purchased recently and i have been able to download podcasts, apps and music but now everytime i sync my items, it says 'iphone/ipad cannot be synced - an internal device error has occured', sometimes it doesnt read the devices and other times it says 'cannot connect. An unknown error occured'. Could this be a virus - i have suggested everything on the support page.

  • Trying to sync iPhone to pc but keeps getting internal device error on screen, also showing only 4gb size instead of 32gb. Uninstalled iTunes from pc and reloaded. Powered back up and all songs and info still in place. Anyone had this problem before?

    Doublechecking something Emcee. I see you've got Windows 7 x64, so I'm assuming you've got at least 4 GB of RAM. Do you also have an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset on that PC? If so, see the following Microsoft document:

  • HT1386 Internal Device Error" during iPhone/Itunes Sync

    I had this sync error every time I tried to connect my Iphone to my MacBook, "Internal Device Error" and the sync failed.  I figured out if I powered off my phone, and powered up again, the sync succeeded.  
    I think it was because there were open Apps.

    I just bought a new iPhone 4 and I too am having this annoying issue. I took the phone back and exchanged it.. We'll see if it happens again.
    Hoping for an apple answer here..

  • I get an internal device error when trying to sync my iphone 4

    Every time I connect I either get a message from iTunes that it doesn't recognize the phone or it tries to sync it and can't ending with an internal device error message.

    I had the same problem. I got it working a few hours after setting up the account. Go to the firefox button and click sync now. This solved the "Failed Server Lookup" issue for me.

    Hi
    I purchased an ipod touch 5th gen today and have had no luck getting my music onto it from itunes. Everytime I attempt to sync it either reads "internal device error" or "could not sync with this ipod as it was unable to be read from". I have tried restoring it twice with no luck. Help!

    Have yu tried another cable
    Try on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ipod cannot be synced internal device error

    This has been very aggravating for me for a while now. I've been trying to sync music on my ipod touch, but I keep getting a message that says "ipod cannot be synced internal device error". I tried to restore my touch and I even downloaded the latest updates ..but no use. Every time i try to sync.. I get the same message..I'm starting to give up hope. I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution. My ipod touch syncs on my desktop.. but not on my laptop(contains all my music). If I can get a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you check your security software settings? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
    Did you restore "as new ipod" without using the backup to restore afterwards?

  • My iPod cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.

    I have a macbook and recently (within two week's) got my ipod 4g. It was fine until this morning when i tryed to sync it and it said:
    "The iPod "matt walsh's iPod' can not be synced. An internal device error occured. "

    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable and USB port.
    - Next would be to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restore. This erases the iPod.

  • When synching  new touch get internal device error

    i bought a new touch for my son but when i try to synch it says "internal device error" so obviously we can't get playlists onto it; any ideas?

    I gave up.  New Hard Drive, new install Windows, New USB Port, Waited until iTunes install and Sync was 100% before re-installing McAfee.  Not sure what made it all work this time since I had tried each individual thing before, but it works now.(Oh, This time I installed everything including the library and music and movies all on drive C:.  Previously the music and movies were on D:
