Ipod cannot be synced internal device error
This has been very aggravating for me for a while now. I've been trying to sync music on my ipod touch, but I keep getting a message that says "ipod cannot be synced internal device error". I tried to restore my touch and I even downloaded the latest updates ..but no use. Every time i try to sync.. I get the same message..I'm starting to give up hope. I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution. My ipod touch syncs on my desktop.. but not on my laptop(contains all my music). If I can get a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Welcome to the discussions,
did you check your security software settings? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
Did you restore "as new ipod" without using the backup to restore afterwards?

Ipod cannot be synced. Unknown error (-48)
I've had my 80 gig ipod classic for 4 months now, and I've had very few problems with it. Whenever I've had an issue with iTunes not recognizing the ipod when I plugged it in, it was easily resolved with a reset or reinstalling iTunes, or restarting the computer. However, today when I went to add some new files to my ipod, I had to install the newest version, 1.1.1, and after installing that version and trying to sync the files to my ipod, iTunes simply refused. Repeatedly I'd get the error "Ipod cannot be synced. Unknown error (-48). I've been browsing this site and others to find an answer, I've tried all the standard ipod fixes (five Rs) and toggled with the syncing options, namely syncing only checked songs and manual sync, and it won't load any new music either way. I have Windows XP home edition on a Sony Vaio that's a few years old, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me fix this issue with my ipod.
<edit>
Another thing I've noticed is that when I leave my ipod plugged into my computer, the "other" part of what's on my ipod increases slowly. There's actually more of this orange "other" data on my ipod than music, and there's absolutely nothing on my ipod except a few thousand music files and two videos. At least, there shouldn't be.
nullOh yes, me too. Two days ago I bought my 160GB iPod Classic, but I have not been able to put anything in it. First the sync seemed to take hours (ca.6GB/1400 songs) and finally I had to disconnect without eject, because the iTunes and my computer got jammed. Again and again the same thing. Unknown error (-48) I recall.
Then after updating the iPod software (now 1.1.1) and reinstalling the iTunes a couple of times, the iTunes does not recognise my iPod at all. iPod says first it is syncing, then just connected, but nothing in iTunes.
Like a kid with who has a brand new toy, but is not able to play with it.
I tried calling the Apple support, but they just dodged the question and apparently had no idea. Anyone, how can I get some music into my brand new iPod? -

Ipod touch 5th gen internal device error
Hi
I purchased an ipod touch 5th gen today and have had no luck getting my music onto it from itunes. Everytime I attempt to sync it either reads "internal device error" or "could not sync with this ipod as it was unable to be read from". I have tried restoring it twice with no luck. Help!What happens when you try to restore?
Have yu tried another cable
Try on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I need to update from 4.3.3 to 6.0.1 so that my apps can take in relevant updates and brun properly. However, update is failing midway on error -5000 and the only way seems to be transferring purchases on ipod to itunes as being suggested by onscreen prompt just when I am undertaking the update. Problem is I can't even do the trabsfer as IPod wouldn't sync properly....error 13014. Has anyone come across this before and resolved it successfully?

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!!!!! -

My iPod cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.
I have a macbook and recently (within two week's) got my ipod 4g. It was fine until this morning when i tryed to sync it and it said:
"The iPod "matt walsh's iPod' can not be synced. An internal device error occured. "- Reboot the computer
- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable and USB port.
- Next would be to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restore. This erases the iPod.

EncodeURL - uses semi-colon or question mark in path?
I am confused about the encodeURL method and how it formats urls when adding the session ID. It was my understanding that the sessionID is added as a path parameter, which means it becomes part of the query string following a "?" in the url, like so:
