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

I have an iPhone 3G and am running iTunes9 and iPhoto9 on a Macbook with os 10.5.6.
I recently got this error:
"The iPhone "iPhone.." cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-39)."
I have reset my iPhone, and tried to sync again.
It appears to fail as it is deleting old photos off my iPhone. If I don't sync with iPhoto it doesn't fail. Any ideas???

It has something to do with the os update my problem was as soon as I saved a picture for a screensaver then my computer a pc would fail to recognize the phone all apple could do was replace the phone three times and have me reinstall iTunes 12 times then wipe my hard drive and that still did not solve the problem apple said that they are working on a solution that was almost two weeks ago hopefully a fix will be here soon apples loyal customers are losing their patience I almost wish that I never purchased the phone when it works it's great but when it don't boy they know how to mess things up. You might try restoring the phone.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Ipod cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-40)

    Had my nano for 6 months no issues with sync of music or photos, a few weeks ago every time I plug it to sync an error "ipod cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-40)" click ok and it goes ahead with music sync but not photos.
    help thanks

  • I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

    I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

    I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
    I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
    Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

    The iPhone cannot be synced. Unknown error (13019) - anyone run into this?

    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.)

  • 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!!!!!
