IPod classic 80gb mb1477ll unknown error 53/50 when trying to sync?
So I have a 80gb ipod mb1477ll, and when I try to sync I get a couple hundred songs done and I get a "song title" cannot be be transferred because of an unknown error 53 or sometimes 50. I also sometimes get a "users" ipod failed because disk is not available. After I exit those dialogs it just sits there forever and says finishing sync do not disconnect at the top of iTunes. My wife's ipod 120gb classic same gen, I think works just fine with the same USB port and cable. I've been seeing that I probably need a new HDD for the ipod? What do you guys think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running win7

Ipod classic 120 going in to a reboot when trying to sync
My Ipod classic 120gb often goes in to a reboot after a sync - get apple logo then main menu when it tries disconnecting
If I plug it back in its fine
Can anyone advise as to what may be going on?For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore” -

My ipod classic 80gb shows an error code 1439 can it be fixed
my ipod classic 80gb shows an error code 1439 can it be fixed or can anyone help please.
Hey there tomhanson
How are you?
Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
I did the following:
My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
Kind regards

my iphone says an unknown error occurred (9) when trying to restore in iphone recovery mode
Hey there ejs11201,
I see that you are getting an error code when attempting to restore your iPhone. Here is an article that addresses that specific code with some troubleshooting steps and will help you resolve the issue:
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

I am getting "an unknown error has occurred" when trying to download any free apps from my brand new 4S iPhone.
Please Help!!I had the exact same problem. Worked fine for a couple days then suddenly getting this error. I fixed it, however.
Do this:
Open the App Store app on your phone.
Go to the "Featured" section.
Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on your Apple ID.
Screen pops up. Choose "Sign out".
Scroll to the bottom of the "Featured" section again.
Sign back in.
Try your download again.
This worked for me. Good luck! -
I keep getting unknown error occured(4450) when trying to burn a CD, running Windows Vista...any help would be apprciated.
I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

Unknown error occured (310) when trying to connect to itunes store
This is probably due to a connection error.
I fixed this by navigating this route:
Control Centre > Network and Internet > Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN Settings > Untick proxy server box (if ticked).
Hope this solved your problem!
