  • Unknown Error (-48) when I try to sync my iPod

    I have started to get an Unknown Error (-48) when I try to sync my iPod to my iTunes music Library, this problem only occurred when I upgraded to iTunes 7 and upgraded to the latest version of the iPod software.
    Any suggestions?

    At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for this. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a fix comes along.
    Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
    Enable Disk Use on the iPod
    Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
    Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
    Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
    Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
    Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod to update it run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me. I've tried the Apple advice of erasing the iPod in Disk Utility and restoring it in iTunes but found it only worked for a while before the error came back.

  • 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.

  • Error message when I try to update my iPod Touch 4G 5.0.1 to 5.1.1

    I'm trying to update my iPod from the 5.0.1 version to 5.1.1 and always I get error messages (error # 9134). The same happens when I try to restore it too.  Any of you know what happens?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

  • I am getting unknown error -20 when trying to update or backup ipod touch

    please help

    I am too. I've tried a complete reinstall of the iPod software following a fresh install of iTunes on my computer.
    As soon as I synced my programs after the complete iPod restore (and nothing else), I started getting this message again.
    Not sure what else to try.

    why does an unknown error occur when I try to save a document as a Word file?

    Hi Judy,
    Deleting the Preferences files seems to be missing from your list.
    Quit AppleWorks,
    In the Finder, go to:
    username > Library > Preferences
    In the Preferences folder:
    Locate and Delete the File com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Locate and Open the Folder AppleWorks
    In the AppleWorks folder, delete the following files:
    AppleWorks 6 Assistants Cache
    AppleWorks 6 Preferences
    AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
    Optional:
    AppleWorks Button Bars
    This file contains your Button Bar preferences. If you have made changes to the Button Bar, but hanve NO issues that can be traced to the Button Bar, it may be left in place.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • I keep getting error (-9808) when I try to download a podcast or song

    I keep getting error (-9808) when I try to download a podcast or song. I have searched the discussions & help section, but cannot find this error code anywhere. How do I fix this? Thanks. Jeff

    OK, you turned off your filewall, but did you disable Norton Internet Security completely? For some issues just disabling the firewall is not enough. I once had a connection problem with Gracenote that went away when NIS was disabled, but turning off every element of NIS individually and together did not work.
    Some people have found adding the following to trusted domains helped:
    phobos.apple.com
    phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net

    Occasionally flushing the DNS Resolver cache helps:

    Are you able to connect to the store normally with just downloading affected, or is there a general store connection problem?
    The other thing is have you run your network diagnostics from the iTunes Help menu? Posting the result might help.

  • An unknown error appears when I try to save older files in CC 2014. If I outline the fonts, I can save.

    An unknown error appears when I try to save older files in CC 2014. I can save the file if I outline the fonts. Is anyone else having this problem?

    It also happens with my illustrator.
    Have you found a solution with Adobe Support?
    You can transform the all fonts in curves, but itll be impossible edite again. Sad. too sad.
