IPod -124 error message

my ipod will start to update the first song i am trying to update and gives me an unknown error -124. it was making clicking noises while trying to update, but is working OK. does anyone now what this could be?

I restored and then went back and manually added songs in small bites, and even without taking "that song" out of the line up, I was able to add the same list of music - just had to take it slower. I needed to slow down anyway because in going over my music I discovered a lot that I dont even like and why would I want it on my ipod anyway??? The link you suggested doesnt work so I dont know if it would be helpful to find out what they did. All I know is that Ive got a 10 gig Ipod with almost 5 gig loaded and 5 more to go and Im going to do it if its the last thing I do. Thanks for the help. Brenda

IPod Nano Error Message (-48)

I've just got my NEW iPod Nano (Red 4GB) out of the box and when I connected it to iTunes I keep getting the Error Message "Unable to update iPod Bob Error Message (-48)."
Despite the (-48) Error Message the iPod does seemingly update Songs/Photos etc.
I have got a 60GB Video iPod and a new Black iPod Nano (8GB) and have no problems with either of them.
Does anyone know what Error (-48) is????
Thank you in advance!
Bob

I have just got back from the Regent Street Apple Store - the trip took 5 hours (I live way outside of London) and cost £35 in fares (thanks Apple!)
I met with a guy from the iPod Genius Bar - and there is indeed a "problem" with Error (-48) which Apple are fully aware of. I took my iPod Nano (4GB Red) which DOES have this problem and my iPod Nano (8GB Black) which does not PLUS my iBook so the guys at Apple could see for themselves the problem I am having.
It seems they are aware of the problem - but could offer NO solution at this time and Apple are definaitely working it! They took data dumps of my iTunes / Mac Configuration etc. and details of both Black and Red iPods (serial numbers etc.)
They were very helpful - and advised me to keep the Red 4GB and sit tight until the Update/Patch to solve the problem is available from Apple.
I was one of MANY turning up at the Genius Bar that day with the SAME problem!
So - there are no quick / sure solutions to this one - I guess we have to wait for Apple to release the fix.

I have an iPod nano v4 or 5 and when I connect it to my Hyundai Santa Fe I get an iPod loading error message. The cable came with the car when I purchased it and the dealer was able to get it to work with his newer ipod. Please advise.

Hi Bander Bunny!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

I am unable to sync to my ipod. Error message states "unable to sync because duplicate file name exist". Any ideas on how to remedy this problem?

Were some of the songs purchased from a different itunes account?

Every time I plug in my ipod an error message 42404

Every time I plug in my ipod an error message 42404. I have un and re installed itunes over 5 time and I have re set the factory setting on my ipod so now I dont have any music on it at all. Help please.

Hello Rach 27,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your iPod nano. I recommend following the link in step 2 below for Error 42404:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.

I too cannot sync my iPod. I get the message "Unknown Error 13019." What the heck does this mean? Can anyone assist or provide guidance?

Cannot update iPod 5G, error message appears.

When I try to update my 30GB iPod, it always displays an error message saying, "The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (1417)."
Does anybody know what this means and how to solve it?

Some people have had success trying the fix mentioned here.
Error 1417/1418.
Could you also take some time to pass some information for the Apple Engineers? Please copy and paste these questions into an email, make the subject of the email "iPod error report", add your answers, and send the email to Roy at Apple.
1. What error code are you seeing?
2. When are you seeing it (restoring or updating your iPod)?
3. Which iPod do you have?
4. What version of Windows do you have?
5. What Windows service pack do you have installed?

Ipod shuffle error message

I keep trying to put music on my suffle but i does not seem to work everytime i try to put music on it i get a error message that says cannot be updated cannot be read from or written to. I am lost I got this for my sister and it can not get it to work right...I just need some help..itunes reads the shuffle..I tried the r's but it will not work right..oh n everytime i try to use it it will freeeze up my itunes nothing else. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Apple has not completely fixed this issue. I am getting the 1418 too when I try to update my Shuffle on Mac. I downloaded the Shuffle reset utility, and when I try to restore using this utility, I get a message dialog that says "Reset failure -- There was a problem obtaining information from your iPod."
I highly doubt that what is being conveyed in support docs is the totality of the issue. According to these docs, I need to return my Shuffle for servicing. I have a few problems with this though:
1) I've never had a problem with my Shuffle on Mac, until I tried to apply the latest update. I can STILL play songs and update songs just fine.
2) My shuffle works perfectly on Windows. I plugged my Shuffle into Windows, formatted it, opened up iTunes, was able to successfully restore and update my shuffle, and move songs to my shuffle. The problem is, my iTunes library is on my Mac (and will stay there, due to its size), not on my PC.
3) After updating on PC, I moved my Shuffle back to my Mac, where it is recognized fine, including the latest version of the software -- so it recognizes that my Shuffle is using software version 1.1.5. I can update songs on my Mac, But if I try to restore my Shuffle on Mac again, I get the 1418 error again, and have the same experience when trying to use the Shuffle update utility.
I have a hard time believing that this is anything but a software bug on OS X, and I'm having a hard time believing that when my Shuffle otherwise works perfectly on both platforms, and there was no sign of a problem until this latest update appeared, that my hardware is defective. This sounds more like a problem that Apple has an easier time fixing by swapping out hardware, rather than fixing via software, which I otherwise wouldn't care about, if it didn't cost me $30 to do, and I hadn't already gone through 3 40GB iPods in a 2 year span because the battery life was so bad.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, I'd appreciate a fix for OS X.
Thanks,
Brad

Ipod 30gb - error message while converting cds

So I just got a 30gb Ipod. I tried to rip cds into Itunes, but I was getting error messages saying "Itunes can not convert song". So a friend suggested that it was the computer I was on. Last night I restored my Ipod on my laptop, tried to convert a cd and again I received the same error message. Am I doing something wrong? I called Apple Support and the person basically told me that I couldn't convert the cds..but isn't that what Ipod/Itunes does?

Ipod touch error message-"attempting to copy to the disk "dad" failed....

I have an 8 gb ipod touch. My ipod is called "dad". I have dragged songs from the library to my music and will receive the error message "attemtping to copy to the device 'dad' failed. the device is not connected. I can see the device on itunes...not sure why it is seen as not connected. Note one thing. If I unplug my ipod or turn it off and on it will work for 5 or 10 songs properly...and then stop working and give me the error message above. I have tried restoring on iunes and that did not work. Does anyone else have any advice

i am also having this problem. i have only tried with apps and music. it starts to sync, does a couple, then just disappears from itunes. the ipod touch still says sync in progress though.
i have tried restoring multiple times, i have tried doing it in dfu mode, tried different ports. its a 1g 16gb ipod touch.
i see im not the only one having this problem. so what is the solution apple?
i love how its our fault. i have always taken good care of my ipod. if i take it to an apple store they would not repair whatever is wrong because my warranty ended in november.
thanks apple...

Ipod shows error message

i paused my ipod and sat it down for about a half an hour. I returned to use it and when i pressed play it would not play and the screen was frozen. I restarted my ipod and now when i turn it on a sign comes up with an error message that says www.apple.com/support/ipod and then it shut off. I plugged it into my mac and it just keeps rebooting itself and return to the same message and then rebooting again.

i had the same problem. i saw a great video on how to fix it and it worked for me.
the guy who posted it also offers free advice. check it out. good luck.

Ipod manager error message

Thanks!

IPod disconnected error message

So I have been receiving this error message whenever I try to sync my iPod. I have attempted using different cords (legit Apple cords), different USB ports, rebooting my computer, and others that I cannot recall at the moment. It appears as though the synch starts normal enough, but after running for a minute or so the error message pops up. Although it looks like items are still syncing, this error message is rather disturbing to see every time I sync!
I'm also using IOS 8.0.2 not what is listed below.

Are yo sure the cable are good? A bad cable is the most comon cause
