IPod keeps running into errors when syncing

I recently bought a classic from a friend (don't know if it's older classic or new-wave one) and whenever I connect it to my computer a message pops up saying there's an error with my device. When I try to sync, it loads anywhere from a couple to a couple hundred songs, then stops, often converting the music just put on into the "other" category rather than recognizing it as music. I've restored it countless times, tried using a different computer (that is also on a different operating system), checked for iTunes and iPod updates alike, enabled and disable disk use, and nothing seems to be helping. Is this iPod just toast, or is anyone else experiencing this?

Ok- I have found a few things. If you have XP make sure that you are running the SP2. You can do that by running automatic updates or by going to Start->Windows update on the scroll menu and install the latest Windows updates. If you do auto updates you should be cool. If you are running on anything less than XP or Vista (like 2000)- you are out of luck. You will need to upgrade to XP or Vista.
2nd option: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304996
3rd option: One guy said he tried downloading Winamp 5.5, transferred all of his songs then for fun wanted to sync to iTunes to see what it would do. Low and behold it worked for him.
So far, I've done the 1st 2 and I am syncing now.....Seems there are some bugs with these. Hopefully in another update or 2 it will all be resolved.
AHHHH!!!! I just got error -53!!!!
I am officially discouraged. Apple for the love of God, please help and give hope. I would like for this to work. It's bad enough it will not work with the Philips DVD player without the AV cables. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Run Time Error when trying to get into the organizer

    Does anyone know when I keep getting a run time error when I'm trying to go into the organizer and how I get it to go away?

    The answer is that maybe someone does know ... but unless you give us the basic details of what you are doing, we probably can't help.
    So ...
    What version of PSE?
    What operating system?
    What is the EXACT word-for-word verbatim error you are seeing?
    Does any part of PSE (like the "splash" screen) pop up before this error? If so, describe it or give us a screen capture.
    Please provide all requested information.

    I keep getting and error when I try to start my iTunes. "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, Then install iTunes again. Error 2(Windows error 2)".... I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and the error still occurs!!! This started happening after I installed the 10.3 update

    I took the time to research it and come across a couple of people who experienced the same trouble and so I listed some of there steps(with Credits) and  some people said that they worked.

    OK, this worked for me:( Original Post by r0tt3n4pp13)
    1. Save iTunes install file to your desktop.
    2. Disconnect from internet.
    3. Disable Firewall/Security software.
    4. Run install. Note that it installs Application Support and a bunch of other software this time.
    5. Run iTunes.
    6. Enable Firewall/Security software.
    7. Reconnect to internet.
    8. Download Watchmen Director's Cut post haste.
    OR!
    (Original post by Cr4z33)
    1. Download and install WinRAR.
    2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
    4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.

  • TS3833 I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again

  • Have Elements 11 and I get a Run Time Error when going into editor?

    I have Elements 11 and I am getting a run time error when I select editor.  It worked 2 weeks ago and now I get the message. I use Windows 7 and it nothing has changed in the past two weeks that I know of. The error is Microsoft Visual C ++ runtime Library

    Windows was installed in 2013, so it is whatever that dumb version was with
    no 'off'...
    I have Photoshop Elements 10.0
    I have no idea what an optimized computer means.
    When I say 'either editor' I mean I can't use the Full or Quick editor,
    they both produce the same message stream.
    As follows:
       Box pops up that is Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library  with the
    message:
        Runtime Error
        Program : C:\Program files
        THis application has requested the Runtime to terminate it is an
    unusual way....
       PLease contact the application support team for more information
    If I click the OK button then I get an Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 box that
    pops up which says
    "Elements 10 has stopped working"
    I have no problem downloading images into the program or renaming files or
    pulling images back out I just can't edit.
    Hope that helps.

    Also check for error events happening a few seconds prior to the iTunes events. Open those events. Do they all cite the same .ttf file? If so, what's the precise spelling of the .ttf (font) file?
    YES! There is a CoreGraphics.dll cited in the iTunes event. This is what exactly the window said
    "Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 9.0.3.15, faulting module CoreGraphics.dll, version 1.0.60.0, fault address 0x00266560."
    For the .ttf file, this is what it showed.
    "Windows cannot access the file C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ARIALUNI.TTF for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program ARIALUNI.TTF because of this error.

    I hope this will help. I still cant open iTunes.

  • Encoder keeps running into a problem and closes adobe premiere pro down too.

    Hello, i have be trying to open my Encoder but for some reason it keeps running into a problem and closing on me and has a time or two closed down my adobe premiere pro down too. What is happening?

    Hi. I have the same problem using an HTC Incredible Android smartphone. The video/audio not in sync. Slight advance or delay. Not matching. I have the phone set to record as mp4, but when I use the file it says 3gp, so I transcode it to mp4. I have filmed a lot with my smartphone and now I have all this footage for over 6 months that may have this problem so I seriously need to know how to fix this or I have a ton of bad footage showing me in frame talking and it's not going to be right for YouTube videos of selfie-vlogging. So, I need to know the best, most fool-proof, most efficient, time-saving way to process and make it workable without taking too much time. Please share the very best methods which work 100% of the time. Thanks, JR

  • Runtime error when syncing P1i with PC

    I get a runtime error when syncing my P1i to PC. The error is linked with this file, 'dxp syncml.exe', and the application is said to request the 'Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way'. How do you fix this?

    Thanks Joanne. Let me give you feedback on whats happening so far.
    After some doing, I discovered that my firewall is controlled by Norton Firewall Provider. (Bear in mind I am a novice in terms of managing these computer protocols). To modify the firewall settings, Norton calls this in their the control panel  'Smart firewall', I go to program control then configure. A list of programs came up with the options to add, modify, remove or rename. I searched the list and found that DXP SyncML.exe and mRouterRuntime.exe were listed and set to 'Auto' in the Access column. I noticed that under access, the options include auto, allow, block and custom. I reasoned that 'allow' is the highest level of access, and to support the sync feature, I changed the status to 'allow' from 'auto' for the DXP SyncML and mRouterRuntime executable files. If you believe it is ok and safer to keep the auto status, advise me.
    I did not find in the listing any of these programs; Bearer Abstraction Layer (SCBAL.exe), Generic Device Management Executable (Generic.exe) or Symbian Connect Object Model for Symbian Connect QI (SymbianConnectRuntime.exe).I did a search and located the generic.exe and the other two files under 'common files' in 'teleca shared' folder, and 'symbian' in 'shared' and 'symbianconnectruntime', respectively.
    Norton's control panel for Smart Firewall gave me three options when adding programs: allow, block and manual configure internet settings. The last of the three was recommended by Norton. However, I selected 'allow' for the generic.exe, symbianconnectruntim.exe and scba.exe.Please advise if you believe I need to modify the terms I entered to set up this procedure (is there a better setting that allow me to achieve the same level of functionality without compromising my security?)
    Now Joanne, whats left is for me to try the sync after making these changes. I feel as if I accomplished a lot by only reaching this far. I will have to do a reinstallation of the SE PC Suite before moving on though. Let me explain.
    When the sync failed repatedly because of the unexpected termination linked with the dxp syncml.exe, I uninstalled the SE PC Suite which was done from a disc, and installed a version from the Sony website. That version is 1.6.0, with a copyright date of 2006. With this, the sync worked. By the way I am using Windows 7 Starter. Now what I am going to do later is uninstall this version of the suite, and reinstall the one from the disc that was linked with the problem we are solving. When I do that later, I will give you feedback.
    Just in case you are wondering, I have a vested interest in using the PC Suite from the disc. This application works fine for the file manager component where the drive on the phone and removable media card are read. In the 1.6.0 version, I cannot get the file manager to see the phone as connected though when I put the card (is that called M2 disc?) in the phone, it reads. So, I although sync is working with the 1.6.0 version from the website, I want to use the version I have on disc if the sync component gets over the problem we are trying to solve.
    Hope I am on the right  track so far I thank you profusely for your patience and dealing with my qeurry; the solution will make a world of a difference for me and many other P1i owners. Look foward to the follow up

    Hi,
    I have implemented SAP Note 1531799, but it hasn't resolved the current issue.
    For Our GTS instance, there are 2 Feeder Systems (ECC) attached, but document transfer in one of the system has not been activated. Both having the same partner functions ( We copied the sandbox into 2 different instances for different business Testings and now these 2 instances attached to GTS for testing). These feeder systems have different Logical system names and Logical system groups.
    Recently i have implemented SAP Corrections manually for one the issue, Please see below thread for the detail information
