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.

  • Keep getting "loading/waiting" message when I try to download or update anything on my iPad.  I have tried signing out and in.  Turning iPad off and on, left it off overnight, and spoken with iPad support, nothing.  Any help out there?

    Keep getting a "loading/waiting" message when I try to download/update anything.  Sometimes something will download.  I have signed out and turned the thing off and back on, signed in and no help.  I have did the sleep button and home button thing, no help.  I have talked to iPad support and so far, no help.  Any ideas out there?

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • I keep getting an error message when I try to print. I have tried ctrl/p, and the print command in my email both give me the same error message

    It has been for a month or 2 that I have not been able to print anything in my Firefox browser (It used to work just fine). I have no problem at all printing in Chrome ( I never use Internet Explorer ). Is it possible that my new printer is the problem? I had an HP now I have an Epson. That is the only change I have made that I am aware of.
    A few weeks ago I had to print out an email, but the only way I could get it printed was to take a screen shot and paste it in a program that would print it.
    The error message I get is: Printer Error An error occurred while printing.

  • HT1925 I am getting a fatal error message when I try to un install itunes from Control Panel on my PC, so now I cannot un install it at all, any suggestions?

    I need to un install itunes on my PC. I have windows XP. when I go into my control panel and select to un install it goes through the proper steps then gives me a fatal error message and therefore cannot remove it. Any suggestions?

    An error occurred while attempting to create the directory c:\Program Data\Apple\Installer Cache"
    That sounds like a permissions problem. Vista uses that Trusted Installer account to install software. I don't know why it wouldn't have the correct permissions, though.
    Make sure you have FULL control over all the C: drive, and try turning off UAC during the install:

  • I get error message when I try to open PDF's that I have downloaded from the web- document cannot be opened it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. Need help

    Is this how I start my new thread?

    Thanks.
    "Can you right-click, save the pdf file to your desktop (or wherever) then open it using File>Open in Reader?" I tried and was not successful.
    I do not know ow to access the PDF viewer of Safari, and BTW the problem may lie in the fact that i have not upgraded from 10.8.5.
    And I do not know where the "open with" box might be or if it is a global or app-attached box.

  • I get an error message when I try to revise items I am selling on ebay. eBay says it is my computer. This is the error message as follows lscgid: execve():/home/wwocom/public_html/style.cgi: Permission denied..What can I do

    I get an erro message when I try to revise my items while selling on ebay.
    The error message is as follows: lscgid: execve():/home/wwocom/public_html/style.cgi: Permission denied
    I called ebay they say it is my computer.
    What do I do to clear this message so I can sell on eBay?

    That's a server message : ebay's computers, rather than yours.
    You could try clearing cache & cookies for ebay in your browser : eg. Safari - Preferences - Privacy
    & if you still have problems, restart your modem/router.
    You're sure that the message shows at a genuine ebay site ? : see the recent replies at

  • I keep receiving an error message when I try to send an adobe document through Outlook email.

    I keep receiving an error message when I try to send an adobe document through Outlook email.
    The message is : Either there is not default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the message request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
    I have checked everywhere on my system and changed Microsoft Outlook as the default mail program but nothing is helping. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I am having the same issue, just replied to a different post on the issue.  I am running Acrobat X Pro with Win 7 Pro 64-bit.  This is a new PC, but my last PC was a 32-bit OS and I didn't have this issue.  I was suspecting that it is due to the 64-bit OS. 
    Reading this post though, I am starting to wonder if there isn't something else going on.  When I go to Edit>Preferences, I don't have anything related to email under Categories, or even within any of the categories listed.  I am I missing a plug in or something?  Or is this a component of a previous version of Acrobat?
    I tried to attach a screenshot of the error message but getting a new error while trying to attach!  File is only 25kb!  Will have to live without i guess.

  • I am getting an error message when I try to burn a cd

    I am getting an eror message when I try to burn a cd of an iTunes playlist. The number that came up was 4310. Help!

    Hey KISSAPES,
    I came across some information for you that goes over troubleshooting CD/DVD drives in iTunes for Windows. I would first recommend following along with the steps within:
    iTunes for Windows: Additional troubleshooting tips for burning issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1374
    Then, if that doesn't seem to solve the problem, you can try removing and reinstalling iTunes. There are directions for that here:

  • I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.

    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.
