  • HT1766 Syncing error message (1140)

    Trying to sync/backup iPhone 5 to iTunes on iMac, I get an error message "an unexpected error occured (1140)"

  • Voice memo won't sync - error message

    I have an iPhone 5 and the latest version of iTunes on my computer. I have the setting on 'sync manually'. The first time I clicked sync to transfer a voice memo to my computer an error message came up and it didn't transfer. Now when I click again it's as if iTunes already thinks it has copied the voice memo over but it isnt there. Any ideas? I need this file on my computer urgently.

    Hi Catherineduffy!
    I have an article here that I believe will help you get this file onto your computer:
    iPod: Recording voice memos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
    Specifically, I think these instructions at the bottom of the article will be most relevant for you:
    Transferring a recording to a computer
    Manually
    Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on iPod in the WAV file format. If you enable iPod for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.
    So that file will sync automatically to your computer with automatic sync selected. You may want to try automatic syncing to get the file from your phone onto your computer if that file is still on your phone. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • "New or Refurbished" iPod won't sync; error messages

    I recently used my warranty on my old 30 gig classic iPod to get a "new or refurbished" iPod because the battery life was terrible. When i got the iPod everything looked like it was working right, until i got to about 1550/6000 songs. I got a message saying there was a file missing and that the sync could not be completed. I went through some trouble shooting, to no avail. I have Itunes version 8.0.2 and Ipod version 1.3. Any help would be appreciated, this is driving me nuts!

    Have you assigned a permanent drive letter to your ipod?

  • IPad sync error message

    Hi
    All of a suddden my iPad won't sync with my iMac. An error message comes up that states it cannot sync because a program on the iPad could not launch.
    My software is up to date and syncing in the past has not been a problem. What to do??

    Scharie-
    First try resetting the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting will not hurt anything, and often solves mysterious problems.
    If that doesn't help, you may need to restore the iPad from the iTunes backup.  If that can not be performed, you might need to place the iPad into recovery mode.  See <iPad: Unable to update  or restore>.

    I purchased an album from iTunes using my desktop computer. All of the songs from the album are on my computer and play perfectly. When I try to sync the songs to my iPhone or iPad, I get an error message that says 3 of the songs can not be downloaded to these devices. Any ideas?

    Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

    I am unable to sync my ipad..i get error message " required file cannot be found" Can you help me?

    Some things to try in this order:
    1) Make sure you designated the correct folders for music, etc.
    2) Press and Hold the Home and Power buttons on the iPad until the Apple Logo appears, about 10 seconds.
    3) Make sure all antivirus and firewalls are off.
    4) Delete and reinstall itunes. (Back up the itunes folder first.)
    Hope this helps...

    Hi hannijin,
    What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer?  The version of iTunes that you can install is dependent on the operating system that you have.  For example, the current version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later.

  • After updating to OS6, I cannot sync my photos and I get an Error Message 1140.  Help!

    You can use an external drive with LR but I recommend only using it for
    image file storage while keeping your catalog on your internal HD for
    performance. If you moved files outside of LR (Finder or Explorer) you will
    have to clue LR in on where they are now. Use the left-hand folder panel in
    Library mode to navigate to the location on your external drive and use the
    find photo option get LR to reconnect them. If you moved the catalog and
    now LR can't find it you should get a window allowing you to select a new
    one where you can navigate to the new location and select it. You can also
    just start LR by clicking on the Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat file to open it
    and start LR.

  • 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.

    Did you try all the suggestions mentioned here? iTunes Error 13019 during sync

  • 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.
    if it is, Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements

  • 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.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

  • IPad app store "unknown error" message when updating app

    iPad app store "unknown error" message appears when updating app

    Kathryn,
    Had the problem also.  Found in the forums and it worked for me:
    go to settings
    go to app store or "store" on my ipad
    click on the apple id
    sign out
    sign in, again with id and password
    then do update.
    Hope this helps.
