IPhone and iPad error when syncing with itunes

iTunes cannot sync my iPhone 4 or iPad air, iPhone produces unknown error (-50), and iPad produces unknown error (-54), cannot sync. This problem started in the past seven days. Neither device is Jailbroken, so I know that's not a cause, any help?

I was having this problem and there isn't a lot out there about it. But it seems to have gone away with iOS 7.1, which is nice.

  • IPhone loses play counts when syncing with iTunes

    I would like to repeat the question from this thread, which has mistakenly been marked "answered".
    When syncing with iTunes, not all play counts are transferred into iTunes. When I turn the iPhone off, it even forgets the complete list of played songs (it is even deleted from iTunes itself).

    I have similar problem. Played podcasts becomes UNPLAYED after synch with iTune.

  • How do I get my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad all in sync with each other?

    Just bought an iPad mini. What is best way to sync my iPhone 5, MacBook Pro, and iPad mini?

    You use iTunes on the MacBook Pro to store backups of apps and documents. Use iPhoto on the MacBook Pro to organize and store photos. Then sync each device with the MacBook Pro by connecting the device to the MacBook Pro and running iTunes.

  • I purchased songs via my iPhone but lost it when syncing with itunes. How do I get them back?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm sure this happened to some of you before but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    I purchased music direct via my iPhone but when I synced with iTunes some of my albums were missing. What is also weird is that the digital booklets have synced but I can't find the songs. How do I get them back?
    I know that Apple has a policy to not downloading twice but I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm not all that confident either so would really appreciate the help.
    Cheers.

  • Restored Iphone App always deleted when synced with iTunes

    I inadverantly deleted the iPhone App, 1Password. Although I am able to re-install it by either a new download from the Apple Store or by a full iTunes Restore, the app keeps getting purged from my iPhone everytime I sync with iTunes. How do I correct this?

    Check your list of applications in iTunes. If it isn't there go to the App store and download it again. Connect your iPhone and before syncing starts select the iPhone in the sidebar to the left and then select the applications tab across the top. Find 1Password in the list and make sure it has a checkmark.

  • Error when syncing with iTunes and Windows 7 64Bit(AMD)

    I keep getting this error:
    Attempting to copy to the disk " Your Name Here's IPhone" failed. The Device timed out...
    It works fine on my Netbook ( Wind 7 32 Bit)
    I am sure someone has this issue...
    I tried running in XP mode, Shut off my Pass lock, Uninstall and reinstall Drivers, Using USB2.0...
    Any thoughts on this ( and I do not want to hear Use your netbook) LOL
    Thanks
    mike

    There are known issue with 64bit Win 7 and syncing...the best fix is to update the BIOS of the machine you're on and that helped most issues...highest issue reported was for people using a Gigabyte Motherboard and Win 7...
    That's why it works on 32bit Win 7...something in the MB that communicates with synced devices doesn't like iPhone and the BIOS update is needed to address this until Microsoft releases a cover all fix.

  • My iPod Touch and iPad will not sync with iTunes, Windows crashes

    I have done the latest upgrade on software for itunes, upgraded the software on both my ipod touch and ipad and now itunes will not sync.  As soon as it starts the syncing process I get a pop up window (I'm on Windows XP) that says that there's an error and itunes has to shut down.  I ran the diagnostics test and it says there's no error.  Not sure what to do now.

    Try here:

  • HT202778 My iPod and iPad will not sync with iTunes

    Help! What has changed that all of a sudden, (within the past 3 days) I no longer can sync my iPod and iPad with iTunes on my Mac. What has changed? Everything is up-to-date on all of my machines/devices/software

    I had difficulties syncing my iPad Air last week that I have since resolved by changing back a few of my settings to what I had been using in the past. I have now synced my iPhone 5S multiple times (via USB cable) to the latest iTunes version on my Mac Pro with no issues.   In my situation, I don't know if the problems I had originally experienced in syncing the iPad Air was partly because I was making an initial attempt at syncing with a new Mac Pro and a copy of iTunes (whereby the iTunes sync options defaulted to Apple's original settings) or if it was because my previous settings were just overridden.  In either case, my issues were resolved as follows:
         1) on the MacPro, I left iTunes Match "on" and selected "Sync only checked songs and videos" within the iTunes Summary Options section.  For my music sync settings, I selected  "Sync Music" & "Entire music library", and
         2) for the iPad Air and iPhone 5S, I turned iTunes Match off as well as the Show All Music and Genius options (i.e., Settings, Music, "Show All Music", "Genius", and "iTunes Match" are all disabled [off]----I always adjust my playlist on the Mac Pro anyway, so I only care about the iTunes Match feature when updating iTunes on the Mac (as a backup measure in addition to the Time Capsule) and I prefer to access music that is directly stored on the iPad & iPhone rather than use the iCloud. Last week, when I initially did the sync with the iPad Air and had to reset, erase all content, and restore the device, Apple defaulted a few of these settings to on.  I did not experience any troubles with my iPhone 5S sync with the new Mac Pro as I was more careful to make certain that these settings were deactivated (because I did not run into further difficulties, I also did not have to reset, erase, & restore my iPhone as was the case with the iPad).  I can't say what combination of the "Show All Music", "Genius", and "iTunes Match" settings are a contributing factor to any sync issues, but I recalled having them all off on the iPads and iPhones when successfully syncing over the past several years.  So when it worked the first time a few days ago with the iPhone 5S sync, I didn't go looking for trouble to further isolate the cause (of my previous iPad Air difficulties last week) by setting the "Show All Music" and/or "Genius" options to on (i.e., I just made sure they were all off and was happy to see the iPhone 5S sync successfully).  There are multiple iTunes sync options, so I realize there are other settings that may work fine for many, but I have had relatively few issues in the past when syncing as described.
    I have continued to edit playlists/add songs and have synced successfully several times.  After having had quite a few sync issues with the iPad Air last week, I am going to be more careful to examine the iTunes sync options on both the Mac Pro and iPhone 5s & iPad Air (to make certain that they have not changed) when I update any IOS software on either device in the future.

  • IPhone 4 restarting problems when syncing with iTunes

    I know been done before, just to clarify some things is that though some answers are correct to a percentage.
    First one needs to try another USB and another PC or Mac for clarifying that its not a problem with the iPhone itself. I found this out when I had this problem and well I tried another USB port and working fine now.
    Disabling USB ports through device manager can get results - however you may be adding additional problems - the problem is associated to the hardware of the computer (mac or pc) and this is either software related with drivers or hardware related and the USB port is stuffed - connecting any device to this port can result in failure of that device. Identifying the USB port is at fault can help you in many ways to overcome other hardware faults on your computer - seriously this isnt just about the iPhone but more to the point saving your computer from damages.
    Due to many viruses and software codes - identifying if the problem is hardware or software based can be tricky, even with aid of programing benchmark programs, the only real way to know if it is hardware and not software is that doing a complete reformat - really this is the quickest and most surest way of clarifiication - you can spend days on end trying to identify where the fault is through programs and stuff and really you may not get anywhere - so reformating the computer and complete reinstall will determine if it is a hardware fault - now if it is hardware fault then it can either be the port itself, the motherboard or the power supply going to that port - so best be sure to back up everything and safegaurd all your hardware componants inside the computer as if it is a motherboard or power supply you really down want all your hardware becomming faulty due to surges or even meltdown.
    Now if the iPhone is going faulty on other USB ports of other computer systems then you really need to contact your supplier if under warrenty or have it repaired - unless you personally know how to repair them. I have read a few threads here and they are archieved so really no one that I know of has covered this answer I am applying now. so if there is a failure to syncing through iPhone turning off and on then really cheack out the computer and iPhone (iPhone on other USB ports and other computers) and protect your data.

    I have similar problem. Played podcasts becomes UNPLAYED after synch with iTune.

  • -1303 error when syncing with Itunes

    Hi, I am getting an -1303 unknown error whenever I try to sync my ipod mini with my PC with ITunes software. Sometimes it updates everything and then crashes or it doesn't update and just crashes.

  • No Disk error when syncing with iTunes

    Whenever I sync my iPod Classic with iTunes, I get an error message saying "there is no disk in drive, please insert disk into drive E: (my dvd drive)". The sync succeeds, but I need to dismiss the message a few times. Has anyone seen this and know how to stop it?

  • HT4061 ipad crashes when sync with itunes

    hi there my ipad crashes everytime i sync to itunes.

    I am also having the same problems. My Itunes never really freezes, it just continually shows that it is syncing with my 160Gb Classic, but only loads about 10 songs (out of my 10,000 song library) each time. I have reset, restored, reinstalled numerous times and have tried every fix in every blog that I can find. I haven't yet tried the outlook fix mentioned here. If that doesn't work, I'm out of options. I even tried syncing with Winamp and had problems there as well. GGGrrrrr!!!!

  • Switch to a new PC, but can't keep iPhone app folder organisation when sync with iTunes

    I have just switched to a new PC. When I connected my iPhone to it, I have chosen to "Transfer Purchase" in iTunes. Then I go to sync for the apps. I got a msseage warning me that the apps on the iPhone will be replaced by those in the iTunes library. I didn't mind for that since I have already do the "Transfer Purchase" and I won't lose any apps for this step. But I thought it would not keep the folder organisation on my iPhone and I will need to manually group all apps again if I continue the process. I have nearly 300 apps. Are there any ways to keep all the folder organisations for this case of switching PC?

    Thanks. But what I really want is to import the folder organisation from iPhone to iTunes. It is tedious to reorganise all my 300 apps again.

  • IPhone 3G 8GB Crashes when syncing with iTunes. URGENT HELP NEEDED.

    I have latest iTunes and OS on my iPhone 3G...
    Every time i plug my iPhone in it begins to sync and then iTunes will freeze and not respond..
    I have tried re installing iTunes.. I can't reset my iPhone as i can't create a backup..
    URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE!

    I don't have an iphone, but if it's anything like my click-wheel ipod, a reset doesn't delete anything.
    It just resets the ipod's operating system, kind of like a PC restart. Did you try this Sleep/Wake button thing mentioned here?

    Maybe it's a podcast of voice memo causing the problem like it did for this person

    That's all I got. You might have better luck on an iPhone forum. Everyone there would probably have one. Like I said, I don't.
