IPhone 3GS cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-39).

My iPhone 3GS won't sync.  I get an error message in Step 5 of 5 when it's trying to delete photos.  The message says "The iPhone "iPhone 3GS" cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-39)."
How do I fix this?  Is there anyone out there who can please help?

Try restarting your phone and computer, use a different USB cord, use a different usb port on your computer.  Try these to see if any of them help.  Good luck!

    Same problem here. Was syncing my iPhone 3GS while updating to new iTunes 8.2.1 when suddenly the sync stopped and I can no longer connect my iPhone. A screen popped up stating I needed to run MobileMe first but that requires me to give my CC info and if I dont cancel in 60 days they charge you $99 for the year!!! W T F Apple???

  • No music after 3.0 upg.: cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-208)

    Upgraded my iPhone 3G to 3.0. All went smoothly and everything seems to be working fine. Only issue was that my music had disappeared. Went on to resync it but iTunes shows that the music is still there - but I cannot do anything with it: cannot add to it, cannot delete it, etc. Suspect files are fine but library is corrupt. Was hoping that adding or deleting a song would force a library reindexing but no luck.
    "the iphone "name" cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-208)"
    Any suggestion on how to resolve this (outside of a device reset...)?
    Thanks in advance.

    The software can be found on Download.com, it's Ipod Copy 7.47. It's $20, but works perfectly.

  • IPhone cannot be synced - an unknown error occurred (13019)

    I have the blues. My iPhone cannot be synced and is rejected in iTunes with the message:
    "The iPhone "my iPhone name" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)."
    Can someone here help me.
    TIA,
    Ken

    I have a similar problem. After having a lot of drama with backups freezing and not completing I had to click on the 'x' to procede with any sync's. Now that 3.0.1 came out I decided to update when the popup came up saying would you like to update.
    I went ahead, it downloaded the update then it couldn't install it and came up with errors. then my iPhone displayed the USB cable and the iTunes logo on the screen, now it won't do anything and iTunes won't recognise it.
    I've tried to reset it, and reset my computer but nothing works. I am not uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it to see if that works. I now have lost everything on my iPhone I presume.
    I am furious.

  • The Ipod "Name's Ipod" cannot be Synced. Unknown Error occured (-48).

    This is the error message I have been getting for the past two weeks while trying to add music to my Ipod. I have tried repairing itunes, installing updates as they come, even reinstalling itunes and doing system restores. It seems nothing is working. Friends have suggested using different USB slots, restarting the computer while Ipod is still connected and again nothing is working. So anyone know what to do?

    I am getting an error message of I/O operation error, when trying to sync my iPod. I have been having this problem since July when I updated to iTunes 7.7. After contacting Apple on numerous occasions, including driving over 50 miles one way to an Apple store to have some dead-behind-the-eyes kid tell me that he doesn't know why it won't work, I am still having difficulties syncing.
    I have contacted Windows, since it was their error message, and was told that an I/O message is in regards to the outside device that I am trying to sync, which eliminates my PC from this equation. I am also able to successfully sync my old 4GB mini and my wife's nano without any issue. I believe that my Classic is not giving my PC the correct driver that it requires to connect and sync.
    I have been going on almost 2 months without my iPod (what a waste of money!!!!)Please...somebody help, because it's pretty apparent that Apple could care less!!!!!
