IPod mini connects, but I can't store music on it (german screens)

I got a problem, i resettet the ipod, downloaded the latest software for it and my iPod and installed it..
If i try to store music on it i get a message like this:
[img]http://666kb.com/i/ag9a4thggiyu7exq1.jpg[/img]
in english:
The file XXXXX can not be imported. An unknown error has occured (-50)
its a great problem because the ipod is useless without music on it ^^
please try to help me, i've been searching a long time in the apple archives but i havent found a solution for my problem

hmmmm.
we could check to see if it's a problem with a subtly damaged library file.
What are the iTunes Library files?
(that might have "global" effects like this.)
the experiment in order to check on that would be a bit involved, though.
make sure your ipod is set to "manually manage songs and playlists". then quit itunes.
now, head into your user accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights. (there's help documentation on how to do that at the left of the control panel screen.) while you're in that control panel, switch off "fast user switching" in your logging-on preferences.
share some music across to the currently empty library in the new user account. preferably, make it stuff that you know gives you a -50 when you try to transfer it to the ipod from the old account.
plug the ipod in to the new account ... be sure not to associate it with the library in the new account.
... now try moving some music across manually into the ipod from the library in the new account:
Managing songs manually on iPod
do you get a -50, or does it transfer okay from that account?
(there's a different set of library files in each account. so if we get it to work in the new account without the -50, that points the finger of suspicion towards a damaged library file in your normal account.)

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

  • HT201413 When connecting iPod Nano, getting message that "an ipod is connected but cannot be identified properly".

    When I connect my iPod Nano to the same installation of iTunes that we use for my wife's iPod Classic I am getting the message that "an iPod is connected but cannot be properly identified".  This has worked before and I can connect my wife's iPod Classic and synch with no problems.  I have tried resetting the Nano but that did not fix it.  I am running Windows Vista.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    I fixed it.  In itunes click help, run diagnostics, run tests, the test comes to ipod and says it is not running correctly so click the HELP and follow the instructions to the end.  Mine was fixed after i restarted computer!!!

  • ITunes crashes on exit when iPod is connected, but not otherwise?

    I had this problem ever since I installed iTunes 7...
    It occoured as soon as I installed the new verison while still using my old 4gb first gen. iPod nano.
    Now I just recently bought a new second generation nano, and still have the same problem.
    And the issue is, Whenever I close iTunes while my iPod is connected (but not being updated), i get the message that "iTunes.exe has preformed an illegal operation and will be closed".
    Though I just noticed that if I disconnect the iPod before closing itunes, it closes fine and normally.
    I Have tried to solve it by following toturials for uninstalling both just iTunes, and iTunes + QuickTime at the same time, and preform separate installations after cleaning the temp. folder and restarting. None of it has helped me solve the problem
    -And I have lived with ifor a while, but it is getting really annoying if I am sititng on my computer and jsut close iTunes, without disonnecting my iPod, to run another program using sound or a lot of system resources. And thne each time get the error-message that "iTunes preformed an illegal operation and..."
    Anytihng that can be done? -I run NO plugins for the record, and the iPod is connected by USB cable (seeing it is a Nano)
    Anything anyne can suggest that I'd do, then please tell.
    -Or if anyone need to know more then please ask.

    Hi, Im sorry just to add on to this discussion but I couldnt figure out how to start a new discussion and I am going mad! I have a new ipod because my last one was stolen and I have plugged it in and my PC wont recognise it. I think that is because my old ipod is the only one my computer will accept. Can that be right? It said the hardware device had been detected and then it said that it was troubled and it simply did not work. Now it is plugged in and not at all recognised in my computer anywhere. Can any one help this clueless girl who simply wants to listen to music again?
    Thank you.

  • Ipod Classic connected but not showing in Itunes under Devices

    I know this is similar to a few of the other issues that are described, if anyone can offer a link to another thread where the resolution is posted, that would be great, thanks!
    I plug my ipod into my computer, I get a windows message saying some files may be damaged, Itunes actually automatically loads up but my Ipod is not shown in the Devices list in Itunes
    I have been wracking my brain over this!
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes 3 times, have reset my ipod manually (& now have no music on it at all!) have put the Ipod into disk mode, have taken it out of disk mode. On my laptop I've gone into Services - stopped/then started the Apple Device. I've removed the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver & reinstalled all to no avail! It still wont show up in Itunes!
    Just to clarify;
    - My laptop CAN see my ipod in its list of devices under My computer
    - When I connect the Ipod, I get a window message from Windows saying some files may be damaged & it suggests running a scan.
    - Itunes will start up when i plug in my IPOD, however
    - My IPOD will not show up in the list of devices in Itunes
    Another thing, I have 120GB ipod when I did a restore it deleted all the music but it is telling me that i only have 111GB memory available?!?!
    After reading through the forums I did see someone state somewhere that you can restore your Ipod from Windows but I can't find the link that gives a list of instructions on how to do this.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Regarding the error message about needing to scan and fix your iPod, see this article and follow the provided instructions to prevent the error message from reappearing. It may also resolve your "iPod missing in iTunes" issue as well.

    Yes you can use the tools provided by Windows to reformat your iPod. Just make sure to format it as FAT32 and that the "Quick Format" option is not selected. For complete instructions, see this article.

    Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff.  To see what a backup contains see:

    To transfer iTunes purchases:

    - For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • My WiFi is connected but I can't get connected to internet on my Ipad

    My Wifi is connected but I can't get connected to the internet on my Ipad.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound.  I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go.  What next?
    My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number.  I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".

    This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.
    Regards.

    I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

    Can't get FaceTime to work, my wifi says not connected but I can still get mail, how can this happen?

    I was having the same problem. I've probably screwed things up royally by doing so, but I just went ahead and created another Apple ID with a different email address, and will inform anyone who I will be using FaceTime with to use the new one. I tried using the "multiple ID finder" thing but it only ever returned the ID I'm using right now; I can't verify the email address this ID is associated with for some reason.

    my ipad2 's wifi is connected but i can't go internet. who can help me

    Check the IP address assigned to your iPad (touch the ">" next to your network name in Settings > WiFi). If it starts with 169 then your router has not assigned a valid LAN IP address to your iPad. It might appear to be connected but you will have no success on the internet.
    Sometimes restarting your router by temporarily (30 seconds) removing/restoring power to it will solve this problem. If it doesn't check that your router has up-to-date manufacturer's firmware and test your iPad on some other networks to see if it works properly there.
