Ipod mini cannot be synced

how come my itunes says that my ipod mini cannot be synced?
it just happens when i get to a certain amount of songs?
thanks in advance!

I happen to have the exact same problem. Yes, i have gone through the "five r's", and nothing has been fixed. I'll try it again and see if anything happens.
This error occurs when iTunes is open, and the iPod begins to sync. About 10 seconds after, then itunes displays that error message.
please help!

Ipod mini cannot be synced-Please Help

Hi,
I can not sync music to my ipod from itunes because it keeps saying "The ipod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found." I have already tried reinstalling my USB drive and it is still not working. The ipod shows up in itunes and then on my computer briefly then it disappears. PLEASE HELP

I am having the same problem and I don't know what to do about it! I have 916 songs on my computer but only 136 are transferring on to my ipod. I just started using a new computer and I tried synching it today for the first time and that's what happened. My itunes keeps freezing when this happens and then I have to restart my computer so it's frustrating. please if anyone knows what to do...

IPod "mine" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50).

Every time I try to sync my iPod vid classic 30gb I get this error. Furthermore, it will not let me eject the iPod because it says files are in use. Occasionally, it tells me that it cannot find the drive.
Yes, I have done all the "r"s.
I've tried full restore 3 times.
Is this a glitch with the new iTunes update.
It seems everything about the updates for the new iPhone is screwing up my system.
First iWeb, now this.
Please help, I need my podcasts.
One more thing, for some reason, many of my video podcasts do not load (eg. Mr. Deity--some do, some don't). Any help with that would be great, too.

The iPod "iHazen" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access....

privileges for this operation."
When I attempt to plug my iPod into my macbook, it begins syncing then this happens:
First, iTunes tells me the default "It could damage your ipod to disconnect it without ejecting it" message.
Then I get:
"The iPod "iHazen" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I click ok. I then get :
"Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
In small print it says:
"iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your music folder and the folders in your Music Folder, then try copying this file again"
Basically, I've tried messing around with the Permissions on a bunch of folders, I've lurked google, and multiple forums including this one for an answer. One had something to do with iPhoto, but my iPod does not even sync my photos. I've obviously tried restoring the iPod, and reinstalling iTunes...
so if anyone, has any other types of ideas.. I'd love to hear them.
Apparently this happens to every type of iPod, including iPhones... and no one has a solution. Music won't even stay on my ipod after it syncs like a gig and half. It doesn't even stop at a certain location every time. I've deleted the files it stops on to no avail.
Please help

I've been having the same problem! It's so frustrating!!
Mine was starting to sync, then i got the same messages about "not enough access privileges" but i also got a message that said I improperly removed the device -which i didn't- and that has been giving me a lot of problems, like my ipod freezing and having to just take it out, reset it and reboot computor. The last time I tried it it would start syncing but take FOREVER , like get stuck on one thing.
I, as well, have tried almost everything: rebooting computer, uninstalling & reinstalling itunes, restoring and resetting ipod to factory settings (multiple times!), making sure ipod is fully charged, enabling disk use, checking and changing ALL the permissions and applying to all enclosed fields, installing and updating all new software, repaired disk utilities...I don't know!!!
I think i will try what manbartlett suggested about enabling disk use AND putting ipod into disk mode and then verify/repair? maybe try another USB cord as well.
I'm just not sure if its my computor and the application and files or if its just the ipod itself...
I've tried calling the apple hot-line but was so frustrated because the connection was muffled and the person was foreign and no offense but it kind of makes it hard to understand!!
Did doing all that help at least for a while?
any more help would be awesome!

My iPod says "cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found. Always when half way through a sync. It also shows apple logo when I try to access photos and I think the issues are linked. Any ideas?

So you have tried removing/trashing your iPod's photo cache? See here for more information on where to find this file.

IPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library

Hi, I have just transferred my whole iTunes library from my old computer to my new one and am trying to sync my iPod to the new one. However I get an error message saying "iPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library (additional 5.38GB required). I currently have 8.5GB free on my iPod so I don't understand why it cannot sync.

Hey Georgiarose94, If what's going on, is what I think it is, when you sync the information it's over written, it can take 2 to 3 times more space the get the info on your iPod, once it's there the info only occupies the space it needs. Kind if of like moving, when you first step in the room with boxes of stuff there's no room. But after you get everything put away all is well. If you haven't already, connect your iPod to your computer, from your iPod Summary page, go down to Options and check reduce bit rate to (select 128 kbps). (Wording maybe a little different). Will greatly reduce memory space needed on your iPod, and you really do not hear the difference in sound quality. Other option, go to music and select manual so you can pick which music you place on the iPod. You need to reduce by 5.38GB of information to finish your download. Hope this helps. Cheers.

When I plug in my ipod it comes up with an error saying, "ipod "Skye" cannot be synced, duplicate file name specified." it wont let me put any songs on my ipod? Help!

my computer deleted all of my songs off my ipod one time with i unplugged it, i think i unplugged it too soon and it wasn't finished ejecting. now every time i plug it in it gives me an error saying "the ipod 'Skye' cannot be synced, a duplicate file name was specified." It wont let me put any songs on my ipod now.

Never mind. I found out how to fix the problem
- Go to "Computer"
- Right click on your IPod icon
- Click "Properties"
- Go to the "Tools" tab
- Under "Error -checking" cilck the "Check now..." button
After doing all of that, ITunes now works like normal for me.

"Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced ....?????

I'm getting a "Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist" pop-up when ever I sync.
Here is a post that seems to addressing the same type of error message for a failed music sync but after reading it I'm not making any sense of how it might relate to the a problem with a podcast sync: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1788041.
In a reckless attempt to fix the problem I deleted all the playlists which I created in iTunes, then deleted and resubscribed to the podcasts, and then did a sync. But the error still occurs and no podcasts were added to the iTouch (even though the newly resubscribed podcasts are in iTunes on my PC). I also found that I could download a podcast directly to the iTouch without having to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes. But I'd rather be getting the podcasts via the subscription feature that is in iTunes and then syncing them to the iTouch.
Any ideas what is going on ?
Thank you.

After reading your post several times, I think I understand what you are saying, but can we just check the precise sequence of events, for (let's say) one Podcast episode?
Are you:
1. downloading the Podcast in iTunes;
2. Syncing the iPod and therefore placing that Podcast on the Touch;
3. Listening to the Podcast and then using the delete facility _on the Touch_ to delete that Podcast from the Touch;
(3A. Adding more Podcasts (and/or music) to your iTunes Library;)
4. Performing another Sync and getting the message "Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist"?
Step 3A may or may not have occurred, it's not crucial. What is important to find out from you, are you deleting Podcasts on the Touch?
Phil
Oh, and by the way, if new Podcast are no longer being transferred to the iPod, has the setting for syncing Podcasts been changed? Look on the Podcasts pane when you connect the iPod to iTunes.

My Ipod mini will not sync...A duplicate file name was specified. What does that mean?

My Ipod mini will not sync. I get the message that A duplicate file name was specified. What does that mean and how do I correct it so I can download my new purchases?
Thank you

Refer to my earlier reply, but here is a quick fix to the corrupted filesystem, which might work
Open My Computer
Right-click your iPod -> click Properties.
Click the Tools Tab -> Error Checking ->
Check "Automatically fix file system error"
k Start.
Let the scan complete, eject your iPod and reconnect.
Good Luck!

Hello WGT52,
It sounds like this error message is preventing you from syncing your content to the iPod. I would recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article:
