Ipad won't sync 1140 unknown error

How do I resolve a 1140 Unknown error message when trying to sync I Pad with Mac?

Are you running the latest version of iPhoto on the Mac? I found this from the More Like This Box on the right>>>>>
Download and install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update, which was just released today. It may be the answer to your problems:

Be sure that neither iTunes nor iPhoto is running when you install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update. After installing the update, then restart iTunes and iPhoto. By default, "All photos" is selected. Change this (it's no longer grayed out) to "Selected albums..." and you should be OK.

Ipod won't sync."unknown error (-69)"

I've had months of no problems with Ipod classic 80g. I purchased some more music, one song of about 20 synced onto my ipod. Then I got a message from itunes saying: "Attempting to copy to the disk "MOM'S IPOD" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)" I've spent hours trying different options, my recent purchases are on my library, but only the first song is on my ipod!! This happened right after the last update of i-tunes. Is there a bug with that or what?

Thank You!!! I don't know WHY file (Eric Clapton-Pilgrim CD)was bad when I've had it in there for a few months. But that's what it kept stopping on when tring to sync. So I deleated it and sync finally ran thru w/o a ERROR code. I think I will try to reinstall it later and see what happens. Thanks again for responding. it is easy to get lost in all of this info, I had't found that page.

Glitched iPod showing yellow letters, won't sync, itunes unknown error 1621. Help please!

6th generation touch screen ipod, only 1 week old. While I was running, the music volume got loud, and then the ipod quit. When trying to turn it back on, the ipod will only go to a screen with yellow lettering that reads:
N20 Snowfox (4ao432)
Voltage: 4142 mV
> Standby
   Power
   Audio
   Remote
   TV Out
   LCD
   10
   FM
   Memory
   Touch Panel
   Accel
   About
It looks like weird, glitchy menu, but I can't select anything or get out of it. My iPod can't be identified on itunes (error 1621), and it won't turn off. How can I get it to start up and sync again?

As I stated above:
If this screen continues to come up after rebooting the Nano, you may want to schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar to see if there is anything they can do to help.
The issue is likely hardware related.

How can I fix "iPad cannot be synced. Unknown error (-50)

I updated my iOS to 5.1.1, but I cannot sync Music on my iPad - Model #MB292LL. The USB was accidentally disconnected before update was completed from PC to iPad. How can I fix it?

Thanks for your reply. I switched USB ports, deactivated my antivirus software and changed the size of my ISP thing in Microsoft, but I am still unable to sync iTunes from my PC to my iPad. Evidently, the update is good which leads me to believe that there is not a problem with the USB or the internet connection. What should I do next.

My iPad won't sync. It used to, but now it says "The iPad cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1150)."

My iPad won't sync. I didn't used to have any trouble but now it says that "The iPad cannot be synced. Unkown error (1150)." It is a loaner from the school but I never had trouble syncing music or apps to it before.

Ipod cannot be synced. Unknown error (-48)

I've had my 80 gig ipod classic for 4 months now, and I've had very few problems with it. Whenever I've had an issue with iTunes not recognizing the ipod when I plugged it in, it was easily resolved with a reset or reinstalling iTunes, or restarting the computer. However, today when I went to add some new files to my ipod, I had to install the newest version, 1.1.1, and after installing that version and trying to sync the files to my ipod, iTunes simply refused. Repeatedly I'd get the error "Ipod cannot be synced. Unknown error (-48). I've been browsing this site and others to find an answer, I've tried all the standard ipod fixes (five Rs) and toggled with the syncing options, namely syncing only checked songs and manual sync, and it won't load any new music either way. I have Windows XP home edition on a Sony Vaio that's a few years old, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me fix this issue with my ipod.
<edit>
Another thing I've noticed is that when I leave my ipod plugged into my computer, the "other" part of what's on my ipod increases slowly. There's actually more of this orange "other" data on my ipod than music, and there's absolutely nothing on my ipod except a few thousand music files and two videos. At least, there shouldn't be.

Oh yes, me too. Two days ago I bought my 160GB iPod Classic, but I have not been able to put anything in it. First the sync seemed to take hours (ca.6GB/1400 songs) and finally I had to disconnect without eject, because the iTunes and my computer got jammed. Again and again the same thing. Unknown error (-48) I recall.
Then after updating the iPod software (now 1.1.1) and reinstalling the iTunes a couple of times, the iTunes does not recognise my iPod at all. iPod says first it is syncing, then just connected, but nothing in iTunes.
Like a kid with who has a brand new toy, but is not able to play with it.
I tried calling the Apple support, but they just dodged the question and apparently had no idea. Anyone, how can I get some music into my brand new iPod?

Stephen's got you covered.
I've also seen the following reported cause/workaround:
After several Google searches I found the iPad syncing problem to be caused by iPhoto 9.4 not handling the & correctly in names. It's not recognizing them as & which is causing problems with XML. You can manually change them or wait for Apple to issue a fix to iPhoto 9.4. I started to do the manual fix & I just have too many to change.
(Manual renaming isn't going to be an easy/good workaround for a bunch of folks, though.)

I had to reinstall iTunes and now my iPad won't sync.

I tried to upgrade with 11.1.4 and everything go messed up (Windows 7 user). I ended up going back to a later version of data on my computer. Then I was able to reinstall iTunes. My iPhone is syncing like it should, but my iPad won't sync. I've lost the App Sore icon and others. Not sure what to do. I refreshed my iPad but nothing is working.

attach a screenshot of the error unless that's all of the error message.

My mini iPad won't sync to laptop. Says needs update, but can't figure out where to update it.

My mini iPad won't sync to my laptop, also a Mac. When I plug it in it says it needs to be updated, but I can't figure it out.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help post back with more specifics on what is happening. Describe any error messages you get.
